MMPV - Close period - How to create a variant

Hello all,
Transaction MMPV is used to close the MM period and open a new one. Currently, we run this transaction every month MANUALLY.
We would like to create a variant that will open the new period automatically every month. The only problem is the period / year that changes every month (I do not know how to create a variant with changed values - if it is at all possible).
How can we create a variant that will run every month to close the MM period ?
Thanks for your help,
Isaac

Hello Isaac
It is possible......But to make it happen you need to go with date field and not with Period and year.
Steps -
1 - Enter field FROM Comp Code and TO Comp Code
2 - Enter the date (E.g - 05-Mar-2007)
3 - Save as varient....Give the varient names as required.
4 - Activate the 4th checkbox (Selection variable) in front of date field
5 - Click on button 'Selection variable' at the top of screen.
6 - Click on YELLOW light. This will turn it GREEN. Now you have 1st light as YELLO which was previously yello.
7 - Click on the down arrow just below the yello light.
8 - Select the appropriate option and save the varient.
The day of batch job scheduling depends upon the options you selected in the 8th step.
I hope it clarifies your dought and will allow you to create the varient as per your requirement.
Best Regards

How to create a variant in ecatt?

Hi all,
I am new to Ecatt scripting. I hav a requirement from the user, that one ecatt is used for two sales org using two variants.
I recorded as per the requirement ( first i created one basic script and called it in a master script ). Now I need to create two variants for the master script for the sales org.
So could any one suggest how to create a variant in ecatt?
Thanks in advance.
Vijayakumar.G

Hello Vijay,
After recording parameterize everything whatever you want.
In parameterization table leave the value field as empty, I mean don't give any value.
Select the following in the menu,
Utilities>Test configuration>Create
Now, test configuration name will have the same of the test script name.
Provide the details in the configuration tab. Then in the variants tab select the second radio button "Internal variants".
In the variant table you can see the default variant "ECATTDEFAULT". You can make use of this also. Otherwise you can also create your own variants by clicking "Insert variant" button.
The variables whatever you have created in the test script will be there in the table. Now, Create variant and provide values for each variables.
You can also select the variants which need to be executed.
Now you can run the test configuration. It will be running number of times according to the created number of the variants.
You can also create Test data for your test script and configuration.
Try this, I hope it will help.
Feel free to reward if it helps.

How to create a variant in VA01

Hi Gurus,
Can you teach me how to create a variant in VA01? I'd like to have a default value in the sold to party field.
Thanks,
Paul

hi,
To show a default sold-to-party in this field when the user creates a sales order (VA01) we can use a function exit .This function exit is located in enhancement no V45A0002 . Before we can choose the exit we have to create a project in CMOD after that enter V45A0002 in the enhancement field and click on the components . In the components you will see the exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002 . This exit is used for our purpose.
Double clicking on this exit will takes us to function builder (SE37) . This function exit has one exporting parameters and two importing parameters, we are interested in exporting parameter which is E_KUNNR of type KNA1-KUNNR i.e if we move the desired customer name to this structure(E_KUNNR) it will be shown in the field as the default value when we create the sales order. This function also contains a customer include ZXVVA04 . This include will be used to write our custom code .
Double clicking on this include and it will prompt us that this include does not exists do you want to create this object ,select yes and the include will be created .In this include we can write our own code that will fill the field E_KUNNR.
e.g. E_KUNNR = 301.
Activate the include and Activate the project. Now when ever the SALES ORDER will be created , sold-to-party field will come up with a predefined customer .

How we create new data base in oracle 10g express edition

hello every body.. i student of B tech n new user of oracle so please help me how we creat new data base in oracle 10g express edition

Hello, Oracle XE can not create more than one instance, the other editions yes, but like other editions XE allows you to create database schemas, schemas logically grouped objects like tables, views, indexes created by a user. By creating an Oracle user is associated with a schema of the same name.
Using SYS or system accounts for creating user accounts.

Hi deva,
write a class which implemets these methods
CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS:
To handle the toolbar on alv
     handle_toolbar
       FOR EVENT toolbar OF cl_gui_alv_grid
          IMPORTING e_object e_interactive,
To handle the buttons on the alv grid
     handle_user_command
       FOR EVENT user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
       IMPORTING e_ucomm.
endclass.
Now Implement these methods.
CLASS lcl_event_receiver IMPLEMENTATION.
To handle the toolbar on alv
METHOD handle_toolbar.
   DATA ls_toolbar TYPE stb_button.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    MOVE 3 TO gs_toolbar-butn_type.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_INSERT_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-010 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-012 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_DELETE_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-011 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-013 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
ENDMETHOD.
   METHOD handle_user_command.
In this form, check the function code(e_ucomm has the function code), based on that do the required action.
as i said yesterday(i.e for appending a row, deleting a row, modifying a row)
    PERFORM user_command USING e_ucomm.
ENDMETHOD
endclass.
Before calling the alv method, create a object of this class.
DATA :
      gref_event_receiver TYPE REF TO lcl_event_receiver,
      gv_tables_alv          TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
      CREATE OBJECT gref_event_receiver.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_user_command
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_toolbar
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
check this program for event handling, it is the similar way
demo_abap_objects_events
Hope u understood this.

How to create new account determination in OBYC

Dear SAP Guru,
I'm getting error 'Maintain account determination (table T030B) for posting ST3' upon GR (posting) against PO. I noticed name of the procedure or group of procedures for which automatic postings can be generated is NOT maintain for ST3 in OBYC (Maintain FI Configuration : Automatic Posting - Procedure). Appreciate if you could show me the path or t/code how to create new procedure for ST3 & maintain in OBYC. Thank you.
rgds,
nantha

Hello Nantha,
Transaction key can be created in
SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Conditions - Define Proce determination Process - Define transaction/event key
Here go for new entries and maintain the transaction key with a description.
Then go to M/08 and maintain the transaction key in the 'acct key' field for your pricing procedure and the condition type.
Also make sure to tick the 'Accruals' tickbox in M/06 for the condition type you want to post in the account key.
Now go to OBYC and maintain the G/L accounts along with the posting keys and the posting rules as explained in my previous reply.
Regards
Gregory Mathews

How to create new OC4J instance in AS 10.1.3 with BC4J- and ADF-Libraries

Hi
I have done all the steps mentioned in this thread:
How to create new OC4J instance in AS 10.1.3
However, the new created OC4J instance obviously misses some libraries. If I deploy my Application to this OC4J I get an internal error: Class not found: oracle.jbo.JboException.
The same Application runs well in the "home" Instance.
What is the trick, to create a new OC4J instance, which more or less behaves the same way as the "home" instances (and especially has all the same libraries)?
Thanks for your help
Frank Brandstetter

I encountered this last month. I definitely agree that it is a glaring omission to not have "Create Like" functionality when instantiating new containers. Here's my notes on the manual steps required after using createinstance to create the fresh container. Not too bad. I've been deploying ADF applications to the new container with no problems after this.
==============
The default (home) OC4J container is pre-configured for ADF 10.1.3 applications; however, when $ORACLE_HOME/bin/createinstance is used to create additional containers, these containers are not configured automatically to host ADF 10.1.3 applications.
I followed these manual steps:
1. $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/server.xml defines three shared libraries that "install" the needed JARs for Oracle ADF applications in your application server instance (container). Note that "install" does not necessarily mean available to applications (see Step 2). Copy the three shared library element definitions to the <application-server> element of your new container (in server.xml).

2. To make the necessary ADF and JSF support libraries available to your deployed ADF application, the default application (that your ADF application and the majority of applications should inherit from) should explicitly import the shared library in the <orion-application> element of $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/<your container>/config/application.xml.
<imported-shared-libraries>
     <import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
Note: the adf.oracle.domain shared library imports several other shared libraries including oracle.expression-evaluator.

Hi again,
well if you need it for an infoObject ZMATERIAL,
Create the infoObject ZMATERIAL with reference to 0MATERIAL and you will have all 0MATERIAL hierarchies available for ZMATERIAL.
Nothing additional necessary.
The creation of similar Hierarchy-Extractors in R/3 is, as far as i know, not possible.
The proper order for the FF-Elements when uploading the self-defined hierarchy depends on the hierarchy-settings in the DataSource, for instance for sorted hierarchies:
Node ID     NODEID     NUMC     8
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT     CHAR     30
Node Name     NODENAME     CHAR     32
Link Name     LINK     CHAR     1
Parent Node     PARENTID     NUMC     8
First Subnode     CHILDID     NUMC     8
Next Node Along     NEXTID     NUMC     8
Language Key     LANGU     CHAR     1
Description - Short     TXTSH     CHAR     20
Description - Medium     TXTMD     CHAR     40
Description - Long     TXTLG     CHAR     60
Look also for the Function module for the FTP in se38 by FTP.
