Import profit centers with DTW

Hi All,
Is it possible to import profit centers into the SAP B1 2007A with DTW, ?
I have to create 50 profit centers in a company, I cannot find template to import profit centers in the DTW:
Is it possible?
Another way to use copy express, because these profit centers are in another B1 company, but I cannot find the possibility in the Copy Express to copy profit centers. Where can I find?
Thanks: Veronika

Hi,
Their are no ways... Even by programming, no interface exists in the DI-API for this object.
Your only solution is either to create them from hand or by direct import in the DB (which I don't recommend).

Balances of sevaral profit centers with various currencies in same report?

Experts,
Is there any report where we can see Profit Center wise and Currency Wise balances as of any mid period (Say Fortnightly) but in the same report?
i.e; Balances of sevaral profit centers with various currencies in the same report.

Importing Multilanguage Translations with DTW

Hi,
My issue is to import multilanguage translations with DTW. The import itself works fine, the problem is to update.
The scenario is:
- some translations to an item A were imported
- now there are some translations in other languages, that should be imported to the item A
It should be possible, but i just can't get it..

Leonhard Detzel

How do I set the UserLanguagesObject?
I use two templates:
1.) MultiLanguageTranslations:
RecordKey = 1
Numerator = ACME Item
FeldAlias = ItemName
PrimaryKeyObject = A100
TableName = OITM
2.) TranslationsInUserLanguages:
RecordKey = 1
LineNum = (empty when import)
LanguageCode = 9
TranslationsContent = this is german
When updating i tried to add an additional row in the second template or i created a new template only with the new record, setting the LineNum to 1. It doesn't work.
Or did you mean, that in the import i have to set all language codes, even if without translationscontent?

Importing prices failt with DTW

Hi experts,
I have a problem when importing item prices with DTW.
I have 2 prices, salesprice with pricelistnum 1, i use 0 for import, and purchaseprice with pricelistnum 10, i use 9 for import.
Strange is that te salesprice is importing oke, but in the same import is also purchaseprice and this is not imported.
Already tried it with different templates but still can not import it.
I use template like this
recordkey,linenum,currency,price
1,9,EUR,.....
2,9,EUR,.....
1,0,EUR,.....
2,0,EUR,.....
Anybody an idea.
gr,
Mark

Hi.....
Price lists are loaded under the following schedule:
Currency Price LineNum RecordKey
Currency Price LineNum RecordKey
1 0 EUR 100
2 0 EUR 200
3 0 EUR 300
1 1 EUR 200
2 1 EUR 400
3 1 EUR 600
, Which corresponds to RecordKey template link to the articles, linenum identifies the price list and add currency and price respectively
I hope it will help

Profit centers with COPA

Hi,
I have a few doubts about the need of EC-PCA in a project where COPA is being implemented.
The client would like to get info about the profitabilyty of organisation units as well as products, groups of products, clients and so on.
However he is unable to assign materials to only one profit center (which would be production departaments in this case). Different Finished goods, semi finished goods, wares and services can be assigned to more than one production departament. (a material index cannot be assigned to only one PC in this case).
What would u advise me? Should I use EC-PCA but change the PC hierarchy or COPA is enough for these purposes?
Best wishes,
Karol

Dear Karol,
Here the some infirmation is about Profit center related and cost center.hope this infirmation will helps you
You would need check the design of PCA and what the business wants to use PCA for. For example do you want to produce P&L Statements and or Balance Sheets by Profit centers etc.
In terms of the cost center assignment to profit centers, the main use of this is to ensure that all costs posted to a cost center will be simultaneously posted to the assigned Profit center. Now in PCA configuration you have to create a "Dummy Profit Center", the consequence of this is that if a profit center cannot be derived (for example if you do not maintain a profit center in the material master) or from the cost center or a profit center is not entered in a posting, the entry will be automatically posted to the "Dummy" profit center.
In terms of design, we are faced, in certain circumstances when we design PCA along the product lines for example, what to do with certain postings such as bank charges or admin costs, which are not directly attributable to the product line.
One way to treat these, is to Create a "Corporate" or "ADMIN" Profit center and assign all the service cost centers to this Profit center and at month end re-allocate to the Product Line Profit center via Distribution or Assessment for example based on sales volume or fixed amounts or percetntages or SKF's to make the reporting more meaningful
create additional profit centers and assign all admn, IT other than production cost centers to either Common, Admin or Corporate profit centers. Suggest you create following non product cost centers
1) Corporate
2) Admin
3) Product Common
Assign profit centers to cost centers logically
In MM master records assign product related profit centers to RM and FG / SFG material types. This takes care from material accounting point of view in PCA
For transfer of costs collected in Non Product related profit centers proceed as follows
1) Create PCA assessment Cycles
2) At month end allocate these expenses and check cost in non product profit centers is zero.
3) Decide on the allocation basis
4) This ensures that you have PCA wise all P&L items accounted.
5) You can then design PCA wise report painter reports for PCA wise P&L
Hope the above will help you

Error importing VAT Groups with DTW

Hello,
I have a problem with importing with DTW VAT Groups. The error I am getting is:
"" is not a valid value for field Category. The valid values are 'O' - Output tax and 'I' - Input tax. This error appears even if in my csv in the Category column I have set up O for outputs and I for imputs.
If i don't put anything in field Category, it imports them fine, but all of output type.
Am I missing something or this is a bug?
Thank you,

Irina,
The DTW uses the same properties as the SDK objects. If you look at the VatGroups object in the DI API help documentation for the SDK, you do not use an "O" or "I", you use and enumeration to signify whether the tax is for input or output depending on the document type. You will want to look at the VatGroups business object in the SDK help and specifically for the Category property the BoVatCategoryEnum Enumeration.

Importing Item quantity with DTW

Hello,
How can I import Items quantities (OITW.OnHand) with DTW ?
thanks taking care my question.

Jean Pierre,
The forum that you have posted your question in is for the SAP Business One integration for SAP NetWeaver. Your question is with respect to the Data Transfer Workbench as you should post this in the SAP Business One Form on this portal.
With respect to your question ... you would need to import item quantaties as Inventory General Entries. There is a sample of this loacated at ..\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Data preparation examples\10. Testcase1_Test Data for Import function. The issue here is that by doing this you will also create General Ledger Transactions which you will then probably need to reverse.

Import AP/Invoices with DTW

Hello,
We tried to import AP invoices with purchase items only (no stock/sales item) and have a problem with importing an AP invoices with the same purchase item on different rows in the invoice. Import is succesfull but if i have item 5020 on row 1 and 4 , row 1 will be overwritten by row 4 in the import.
Is there an option to define this in DTW.
Could it be a problem with the summary type OPCH.SummryType ?
Thanks
Mark
Edited by: M. Hageman on Mar 13, 2009 9:03 AM

You may try to DTW a different ItemCode for line 4 first. Then DTW again by updating this line only. It should allow system to bypass ItemCode checking.
Thanks,
Gordon

Posting to Different Profit Centers with different g/l s, condition wise

Dear Experts,
I am fasing a posting issue in contract.
I have different conditions in contract,and depends on the condition,flow type ,A/c symbol , I have different g/l for each condition.
At Contract level (General Data screen) I am giving one profit Centre(XXX).while posting , all the conditions are hitting at the same profit centre(XXX) only, instead of hitting the relevant profit centers which are mentioned at Condition G/l level.
Some times it is hitting at the correct G/L, but profit center showing the same one(XXX) which mentioned at header level.
My requiremnt is to hit the corresponding profit centers & G/L s only.
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Eswar

Hi Deepak,
thank you for your explanation. But did you really manage to get 2 different profit centers in one contract at the same time?
I checked it in my system. It is possible, of course, to change the profit center, but this change is then valid for all conditions of the contract.
- The profit center is changeable only in the standard term for organisational assignment.
- If an additional organisational term is created the profit center field is greyed out.
- When the profit center is changed in the standard organisational assignment term this affects all conditions.
This is the actual standard behaviour.
Example:
Create a new contract:
organizational assignment standard: profit center A
organizational assignment 10 (deviating): profit center B <<< should never be possible, because the field profit center is greyed out
I am wondering how you managed to get his though and waiting for your remarks.
Regards, Franz

Importing Sales Opportunities with DTW

Dear Martin Kamau,
By SDK help, the Source table of SalesOpportunities Object is OOPR, and SalesOpportunitiesLines is OPR1.
In B1 application Sales Opportunity form, you could check which field need to set for OOPR and OPR1, you could refer to SDK help file also.

Two Profit Centers with Same GL

Just create an FI document with the same G/Ls, but differnet profit centres, crediting the wrong one and debiting the right one.
Entry:

Hello venkat,
   In the posted document there is two line items. now you want to change the profit center on the document which is posted and cleared.
Tell me one thing in one line item is there any field like business area is same as profit center.
What i mean to say
PK GLac   Amount B.area P.center
40 15000 1000.00 1000   1000
50 25000 1000.00 1000   1000
In the above example my business area is equal to profit center in the initial there is some postings happened. after that client realized that this has to be change without passing any accounting documents. we created a substitution like profit center field substituted with business area field.
Like that i made all the changes. We are not implemented profit center accounting. It is a statistical object.
Hope this is helpful.

Sankar

Can't import Serial Numbers with DTW

Hi,
I'm trying all day long to import data with the oInventoryGenEntry Template. I always got the error message :
[IGN1.WhsCode][line: 1],'LS46BPPNB connot be released from stock without a full selection of serial/batch no.'Application-defined or object-defined error65171.
here are the content of the files related to :
'Documents' :

I've tried to simulate an exit rather than an entry. I succeeded by adding a column 'SystemSerialNumber' with valid data into.
But, I have to generate an entry and i'm not supposed to know what SystemSerialNumber will be used.
An idea?
Best regards,

I found a way.
I have to define the column LineNum BEFORE the column BaseLineNumber.
With these files, it's OK :
