Infoobject packing instructions from SAP

Hello,
I'd like to load the packing instructions. In SAP ERP in transaction POP1-3 known as packaging instructions. Does anyone has an idea how to load this data into BI / BW. Is there a standard or a generic datasource or something else.
Possibly there is someone who has implement something like that.
The aim is to show the packing id to the material and the packaging quanity in one table side by side in a query.
thanx for helpful answers Julia

Hello AP, The BOM has already been created .But is there any method in particular in PS to add attributes to the Items and finally autogenerate the Final Packing List for Shipping to customer.
Thanking You,
Regards,
Anil Kamat

Prerequisites for OS service pack upgrade from SAP end.

Hi All,
I Have AIX 5.3 OS at TL 08 and Service pack 1 level JS 23 and JS12 blades.
IBM wants to upgrade it to TL 8 SP7 as the IBM centre supports TL8 SP7 for AIX 5.3 JS23 Blade.
So we are planning to go ahead with SP enhancement to SP7 from SP1. Are there any pre-requisites from SAP end for upgrading the same.
Regards,
Priya

Check
Note 1119631 - Using SAP systems with AIX 5.3
for possible problem/issues with different TLs.
Also check with your database vendor if the target level is supported.

Creation of detailed packing list from SAP PS

Dear Sir,
We have ETO scenario and are in the business of manufacturing "Industrial Machinery" . We are using Project System (PS) also . After the final assembly the FERT Equipment gets ready and then it is put on trial for testing . After the successful trial the equipment is again disassembled into the desptachable parts and then delivery are created from the project .
Along with the Equipment , we also send the free spares and installation parts.
Kindly guide us as what steps need to be followed so that we can have Packing List generated from the SAP system for the items being shipped to the customer .
With Thanks and Rgds

Table for Packing instruction

Hi All,
Can any one tell me the table and field name of Packing instruction from POP3 transaction? I have to get this packing instruction on the basis of delivery number.
I checked by my own and there is a structure for this as PIKP (Packing Instruction header) and if this is the structure I need to use then how could i get the short text of the packing instruction as I have an internal table with fields VBELN POSNR LGNUM LGTYP MATNR CHARG LGPLA VERME LFIMG MEINS ZZEOLC ZZPACKSTN.
Regards
Sumit

Hello Sumit,
I am not sure if your questions have since been answered, but the following are the header and item tables for the packing instruction data:
PACKKP - Packing Object Header
PACKPO - Packing Object Item
PACKKPS - Texts for Packing Object Header (PACKKP)
Cheers,

Settings for sending mail
Configuring SAP 4.6x Internet mail Gateway
SAP can be configured to send and receive emails from different sources.This section explains how to integrate SAPOffice with an external emailsystem. Your Internet email must be configured and running prior to this.Email from SAP is forwarded to the users external email system..
You can configure inbound and outbound forwarding. Outbound flow forwardsa SAP message (eg: update termination) via UNIX sendmail to the intended recepient. Inbound accepts a message from sendmail and places it in the users SAPOffice inbox. Many companies prefer to configure outbound only.
Configuring outbound forwarding
SAP configuration
1. Create your RFC destination for outbound email using transaction SM59
RFC Destination : SAP_INTERNET_GATEWAY
Connection Type : T
Description : SAP internet mail gateway
Click on 'Explicit Host' if you wanton demand gateway dameon invocation.
Program : /sapmnt/SID/exe/mlunxsnd
Target Host : Enter hostname that runs your central instance.
Click 'Test Connection' and you should seea successfull message.
2. Shared Office Settings transaction SO16-> Send -> Settings or
directly via transaction SCOT- SAPconnect Administation

Problems that you might encounter :-
If you have set up a node in SCOT and it tests out well but recieve the reply.
"Cannot process message in node, parameterscannot be converted".
Make sure the RFC connection is working, and that SapConnect has been installed on the Unix Server or the Microsoft Exchange Server. Originally, I had the same error, and found that nothing had been installed on Unixor Exchange, to support SapConnect.

Standard BW Datasource for Packing Instructions

Hi BW Experts,
Are there any Standard BW Datasources for Packing Instructions.
The Packing Instructions data mainly resides in PACKPO, PACKKP, PACKKPS tables in SAP.
If there are no Standard extractors or Data Sources , what are the options of extracting this data from SAP into BI.
I got to know there a few extract views, how do we use them.
MGV_V_PACKIN
MGV_V_PACKIN2
V_PACKIN
V_PACKIN2
Waiting for your kind response.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I don't think you will find Business Content for those tables. That leaves you with the option to create a Generic DataSource yourself (t/code RSO2). Here you can use a table or a view as source.
Best regards,
Sander

Packing instructions urgent

Hi Experts!
I have run in to an issue with the multilevel packagng.after creating the packaging instructions, we are going to setup the packaging determination recorod, now there are 4 options like
option 1 PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS
option 2 ALTERNATIVE PACG INSTRUCTION1
option 3 ALTERNATIVE PACG INSTRUCTION2
option 3 ALTERNATIVE PACG INSTRUCTION3
What is the significance of all these 4 options in the packaging determination reccord(T-codePOF1)? Can someone please provide me some documentation regarding these four opeions?please..........
Rewards for the best inputs.
Thanks.
Ramesh

Hi ,
Got this somewhere from this forum, HTH
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
you have to create the packing master data in tcodes POF1 and POP1.
In POP1 you create the packing rule, eg. how many pieces of the material to be packed can be stored in the packaging material (box, cans,...)
in POF1 you create the determination rule, eg. the link between the material and the rule.
for more details have a look to:

> i have few questions regarding above
(Almost) all of your questions are answered in the note:
> 2.Do wee need to apply the above note for non-unicode upgrade
<...>
Even on non-Unicode system you should replace all matchcodes that are still required by search helps.
<...>
> 3.Note 1330256 recomends to apply support pack or to apply the Note 1330256 ,but we can do it only at upgraded version.
Yes - it avoids dumping with the dump mentioned in the note
> 4.How to identify the matchcodes
<...>
You can use the program TWTOOL01 to determine the existence of matchcodes.
<...>
> 5.How to delete them
<...>
You can then use the function module DD_MCOB_DEL to delete matchcode objects, and the function module DD_OBJ_DEL to delete matchcode IDs.
<...>
> 6.Impact of deleteing matchcodes
None since they were replaces by search helps.

Upload fields from SAP R/3 to BW

Dear All,
I'm looking for a method to upload fields from SAP R/3 to BI 7.0.
My testing case as following:
- Upload table DFKKKO \ field OBEL from R/3 to BW
- I created a Generic Datasource and select this field.
- When coming back to BI, I replicate the metadata from SAP source system and can display my Generic Datasource.
- I create the Info Package for this Generic Datasource but when I run the scheduling, I didn't find any data in PSA table.
So this is my questions:
- Is this method (generic datasource) suitable for uploading from SAP R/3 to BI or there is anything else better?
- Why the data cannot uploaded to PSA table? (I got this error message from Monitor "EDI: Partner profile inbound not available" and "Some IDocs have error status" but don't know how to correct)
If there is any possible response, I shall give reward point.
Many thanks,

Hi
I think you have missed the mapping part in BW....did you create the transformation in BW side before loading the date?You have to map the R/3 field to BW infoobject.

Data extraction from SAP r/3 to sql 2000, bpc server

Hi All,
I have posted a similar thread previously,sap r/3 to sql 2000/2005, and understood how to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2005, but I need to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2000 server, not SQL 2005 server.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kranthi.

If you want to extract SAP R/3 data to SQL 2000, here are some alternatives:
1. It becomes very easy if by any chance, you are using SAP BW with SAP R/3. You can extract the data into BW using standard or custom extractors and then send it out with open hub. SQL2000 can pick the flat files from a specified location at regular intervals.
2. You can use Business Object extractors. You can get more info at:
http://www.france.businessobjects.com/pdf/products/dataintegration/rapid_marts_sap_infosheet.pdf
3. If that is not an option, then you need to have a tool that allows being called via RFC. This agent will then execute the required command on behalf of your application and return the result. I do not know if there is a ready-to-use RFC-compliant agent for SQL Server. If you have a tool that does it for you, you might have to check your network connections (ping), permissions etc. and see if you can execute an rSQL from the remote machine on the SQL server.
There is a general solution to connect to nearly any kind of modern server application from a remote site by using simple HTTP requests. Suitable HTTP server for most needs would be:
1. Microsoft IIS
2. Java Tomcat or IBM WebSphere
3. SAP WebAS
In most cases, the IIS would probably be the one as it is installed on the Windows 2000 server anyway.
Define an Active Server Page (ASP.NET) and insert the necessary code in your favorite language to extract the data from the SQL server.
Your ASP.NET page would pack the result in the HTTP response object to be returned. In order to call the page from SAP you call the function modules HTTP_POST (using a HTTP POST request) or HTTP_GET (for HTTP GET request) on the standard RFC destination SAPHTTPA. (Pointing to a SAP utility program saphttp that resides in the SAP binary directory of your SAP database server and can be called from the command line in order to test its functionality without RFC).

How to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121

I came across some documents from version 11113, says there is a SAP adapter, however ,when I check 11121 there's no such adapter, does anyone know how to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121?

I download a package from Bristlecone, but I dont see any xml files in it, just a bunch of dll and I didn't find any instructions on how to set up/configure in FDM, it just explained how to register in SAP app server and client.
Hyperion 11113 has readme on sap adapter(Hyperion Readme Template), but I cannot find the same readme file in 11121, all I can find is ERP Integration Adapter document. any idears where I can find at least a readme document?

Master data extraction from SAP ECC

Hi All,
I am a newbie here and teaching myself SAP BI. I have looked through the forums regarding master data extraction from SAP ECC in all forums but could not answers for my question. Please help me out.
I want to extract customer attributes from SAP ECC. i have identified the standard data source 0customer_attr and replicated in SAP BI. I have created infopackage for full update. I validated the extractor checker(RSA3) and found 2 records for 0customer_attr.
When I run the info package, the info package remains in yellow state until it times out. Please let me know in case i am missing anything, Please let me know if there is any other process for master data extraction similar to transaction data extraction.

Hi All,
i did the below and afte clicking execute in the Simple job, it takes me back to the Monitor Infopackage screen.
From your info pack monitor --> menu environment-->job overview--> job in the source system--> prompts for source system(ECC) user id and password, enter them, you will get your job at SM37(ECC), select job and click on log details icon. there you can see details about your error. please share that error screen shot.

Function module to send mail from SAP

Can any one please tell the Function module to send mail from SAP. The scenario is like this,I have a file in local system that i have to send to a particular mail address like [email protected] through a report program.

Hi shafiq,
1. There is some trick involved
in the binary files.
2. I have made a program (and it works fantastic)
ONLY 6 LINES FOR EMAILING
BELIEVE ME
ITS A FANTASTIC PROGRAM.
IT WILL WORK LIKE OUTLOOK EXPRESS !
3. The user is provided with
a) file name
b) email address to send mail
and it sends ANY FILE (.xls,.pdf .xyz..)
Instantaneously !
4. Make two things first :
1. Include with the name : ZAMI_INCLFOR_MAIL
2. Report with the name : ZAM_TEMP147 (any name will do)
3. Activate both and execute (2)
4. After providing filename, email adress
5. Code for Include :
