Integration of Materials with APO (RIMODGEN)

Hi Friends,
Thanks in advance for all the great replies that you have been giving me. I have a question on Integrating materials with APO.
We are using the report RIMODGEN and RIMODAC2 to create and activate integration models.
The issue is when you need to include materials using criteria other than that given in CFM1 .
The filtering criteria for materials at present is
Material
Plnt
Matl Type
PlantSpec. Mtl Stat
MRP Ctrlr
MRP Type
ABC Indicator.
We need to set the filter criteria to include
Item category group
and
MRP group.
The options that I have come up with is to create a text file which will have all the materials that need to be included in the integration model. The problem here is can I make reading of this file an automated process which can be used as part of the program RIMODGEN. Otherwise , I cannot use RIMODGEN as a background process.
Is there any other way to include the materials that I will need other than to write a custom code for that ?
Regards,
Ranjini.

Hi Ranjini,
I am having a similar requirement where I want to exclude materials from the integration model for which the deletion flag is set in R/3.
I was thinking if I could extend the selection fields to add additional filter of 'LVORM' , I can achieve this.
Can you please share with me how you achieved the same for your requirement.
Hi All,
Any other suggestion to meet the above requirement is also welcome.
Looking forward to your responses.

Unable to CIF Materials with Classification View

Hi,
We sent materials from R/3 (4.6C) to SCM 4.1.The materials without classifcation view went through successfully. But the materials with classifiation views failed. I have selected the materials,plant,class.characteristics. The organizational indicator is same for material in R/3 and APO. I have seelcted the class type. When I create the integration model an entry in the class is visible.
But the material is not transferred. Did I miss anything ?
If you have any tips or input ,please letme know.
Thanks a lot

In the old way of things - what did change?
Look at the WebAccess on the HTTP view - how long does it say that it
has been up?
rpm -qa novell-group What version
What does the POA report?
If this has all got squirrely rcgrpwise stop, rcapache2 stop and
rctomcat5 stop (then restart them again in reverse order)

CIF new materials to APO

Hi Guys
Need your help in the following:
I am CIFing new materials to APO and in General Selection options for Material, I wish to do a multiple selection based on a class. I works fine manually however I wish to save the classification value in the variant for background job.
Can you please suggest how to save the variant for Integration Model with Classification for Material
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
The existing filter criteria for materials, in CFM1 transaction may not serve your purpose.
When generating an integration model the system determines whether entries exist in the MARC table
(plant data for the material). I do not think the class/characteristics data will be available in MARC table.
OSS note 369541 suggests modication to be able to transferring segments of the MARA table (general material data). However, I note your point that, you want only additional filter criteria and do not want to transfer any additional fields to APO.
Please check the function module u201CCIF_MATERIAL_PRODUCT_MAPu201D if this can be useful for you.
There is also a customer exit SAP R/3 customer exit: EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001 and you may please check this.

Report for materials with shortage (GATP)

Hi,
We are using GATP for the cofirmation process. If you go to the CO09 transaction in the SAP-ERP system, it will take you to an APO screen. There are 2 fields (Receipts and Confirm quantities) on this screen; when Confirm quantities is greater than Receipts it shows that the material has a shortage.
Is there any report in APO that shows me the materials with shortage (Confirm quantities greater than Receipts)?
Thanks a lot

777,
Such info requirements are usually handled with the Alert monitor.
/SAPAPO/AMON_SETTING, create an alert type ATP, Availability check shortage.

Can BPS be used along with APO..?

Hi,
We are examining the possibility of using BW-BPS within APO environment as much of the forecast planning is carried out with APO data. Since BW3.5, SAP has bundled BPS into BW. Since APO has BW3.5, why not BPS could be used within APO. Any thoughts..?
What are downfall of using BPS within APO or I put the question in another way, What is the difference between BW-BPS as a standalone system and BPS in APO system.
Any input will be helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
KT

Hi KT,
there is a paper avaliable on service marketplace, that describes how BW-BPS can be integrated with APO-DP:
<http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000517885&> (or http://service.sap.de/bi -> SAP BW Business Planning and Simulation -> Further Information) title "Integrate BW-BPS and APO-DP".

Planning with APO

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding APO and BI Integrated Planning. If we are using APO DP is it a good option to implement BI Integrated planning as well. because both of them have the same planning and forecasting strategies. Is BI Integrated Planning and alternate option for APO DP or can it be used along with APO DP for planning on certain reports. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Akshay27,
I have personnally never use the BI integrating planning, but based on my knowledges; hopefully somebody with more experience in this area will be able to complete this answer!
Integrated planning indeed allow to realised more and more planning using BW infrastructure. The very big advantages is the user friendliness.
However this does not exclude the use a DP. Both can be use together, for example DP for your power user and integrated planning for collaboration. DP will be the "master system" enabling you to maintain CVC, run complex statistical forecast, validate foecast.
(I have seen a simialr implementation a couple of year ago using BPS).
Note for exaple that the new functionality "customer forecast management" in SCM 7 use both DP and IP.
You mentioned the possibilty to perform statistical calculation in IP... I haven't actually seen that, but I am not convince you will have the capacity of DP (seasonal planning, promotion, like profile... MLR, POS forecast...), If you know more, please let me know.
I hope this help a bit; now if somebody could provide more information about IP, that would be great!
Thanks and Regards

Non-configurable materials with EK02 costing

Hi all,
We have a range of non configurable manufactured materials which, when used in standard sales orders, generate a production order and BOM. Presently the cost is automatically generated from the material master and is populated as a VPRS cost.
As these materials have a BOM we want the cost to pick up from the BOM instead, ie as an EK02 cost. If we enter such a material and do a manual recost the EK02 populates in the sales order item conditions but we cannot get it to populate automatically as it does with configurable materials with BOMs.
In the define item categories section in SPRO we have removed the determine cost tick. This has the desired effect of removing the VPRS cost but the EK02 cost still doesn't pull through. In the Bill of Material / Configuration section of the item category we tried setting the structure scope to A (Explode single-level bill of material) and B (Explode multi-level bill of material) but this didn't work. If we set it to D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion), then we get the "item can be configured but there is no configuration" error when used in a sales order which is expected as these products have no configuration.
We also tried deleting the standard cost held in the material master to see if, as that value was now blank, it would pick up the EK02 instead but, alas, this also ddn't work.
Any help / suggestions would be most appreciated.
Kind regards, Rob

HI,
We are maintaining the Service masters for the services we render, there is no valuation of Inventory as only service is being rendered.
But we have maintained BOM and Routings for the services we render.
Even there is no valuation class in the serivice masters as this is non valuated.
Can you guide me more on this pls.
Thanks,
Ravi

Problem in Integration of Apex with R12

Hello,
I followed the paper apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf to do Integration of Apex with R12. but stuck on one step.
I am done with all the steps in R12. Now if i click the menu in R12, its going to my existing Apex aplication but still asking username and password.
Can anyone help me out in what exactly I need to change in Apex Authentication scheme in Apex. Right now I am using Authentication scheme as Application Express.
Please help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi Mini,
Thanks a lot for ur replies. But it is not working for me. I am not able to figure out whats going wrong.
My Requirement is to redirect to the first page of my application without asking for the APEX login page from the EBS menu.
So summarizing whatever I steps i have followed:-
(1) Created Profile and function in APPS as given in "apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf"
(2) I created the following package in APPS schema
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AUTHID DEFINER AS
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN;
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
     CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG AS
     g_key VARCHAR2(100);
     FUNCTION generate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_offset IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0) RETURN VARCHAR2
     IS
     BEGIN
     IF p_string IS NULL THEN RETURN NULL; END IF;
     RETURN RAWTOHEX(UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw(
     DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5(
          input_string=>p_string||':'||
          TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-(p_offset/24*60*60), 'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS')||g_key)));
     END generate_hash;
     FUNCTION validate_hash (
     p_string IN VARCHAR2
     , p_hash IN VARCHAR2
     , p_delay IN NUMBER DEFAULT 5) RETURN BOOLEAN
     IS
     BEGIN
     FOR i IN 0..p_delay LOOP
     IF p_hash = generate_hash (p_string, i) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     END LOOP;
     RETURN FALSE;
     END validate_hash;
     BEGIN
     SELECT encrypted_user_password INTO g_key
     FROM FND_USER WHERE user_name = 'SYSADMIN';
     END XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG;
(3) Created a function in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace FUNCTION ebs_authenticate (
     p_username IN VARCHAR2
     , p_password IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN
     AS
     BEGIN
     IF apps.XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.validate_hash (p_username, p_password) THEN RETURN TRUE; END IF;
     RETURN (apps.FND_WEB_SEC.validate_login (p_username, p_password) = 'Y');
     END ebs_authenticate;
(4) In my authentication scheme of my apex application i have changed it to use custom authentication to use the below function
     return apps.ebs_authenticate
(5) Created a procedure in the APPS schema:-
     create or replace PROCEDURE apps_logon
     IS
     v_username VARCHAR2(100);
     v_password VARCHAR2(32);
     BEGIN
     wfa_sec.getsession(v_username);
     v_password := xxapx_security_pkg.generate_hash(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
     IF v_password IS NOT NULL THEN
     APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
          P_UNAME => v_username,
          P_PASSWORD => v_password,
          P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
          P_APP_PAGE => apex_application.g_flow_id||':38'
     ELSE
     RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Password is null, session id = '||icx_sec.g_session_id);
     END IF;
     END apps_logon;
(6) In my login page, i have created a process Get Username Cookie and with the process point: onload(Before Header)
     BEGIN
     apps.apps_logon;
     EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
     END;
Now I am getting this error with the login page :-
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Set-Cookie: WWV_CUSTOM-F_1120314105059329_811=B4134623EB436033; path=/; Location: f?CallFromForm='Y'&p=811:38
Please help me figure out the problem as I am struggling a lot with this from last few days :(

Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

Hi All
What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
With Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.

Materials with Zero Quantity in Stock

Hi Experts,
I am preparing a Customized Stock Summary Report.
I have two queries.
1. How do i find Materials with Zero quantity in Stock????
Is searching for MATNR based on MENGE value 'SPACE' correct way to go about it?
2. How do i find number of same materials in the same plant ?????
Points will be awarded for the helpful answers.
Cheers
Gaurav Raghav

Hi Vineet,
Thanks for the quick solution.
I got point 1.
Just confirm whether i understood it correctly.
If a search for MATNR based on Field LBAST i.e Valuated unrestricted-use stock in table MARD, i will get all materials with Quantity Zero.
Have i understood correctly????
I guess i was not clear with my second point.
let me try once more.
My selection criteria is based on Plant.
Therefore i guess same materials under PS & JS are redundant.
So i want to display SKU excluding all Deleted Materials.
How do i go about it???
I have already coded to select deleted materials.
Cheers
