Is padding required while posting to SAP

Hi
Is padding really required for a number(ex: if a field has max length is 10, can it have only 3 out of it and left others) or string(ex: if a field has max length is 10 char, can it have only 4 out of it and left others)while posting as an IDoc to SAP from XI.
Can anybody please advise...

Hi ramesh.
Padding with zero is required in most of the cases related to scenarios involving BAPI and IDocs in case if numeric values are being transferred.
First, check how the numeric values are stored in your database table. If their data type is charectar, then they will be left padded with zeros.
Check their representation and go ahead accordingly

HI,
While posting any document, a form pool will trigger (RGGBR000).
Copy that program into Zprogram and maintained the standard value in the program for the required fields.
maintained that Z program in the T80D table, then do setting in OB28 and activate it.

SAP Version to be added in the subject line while posting a question.

Hi,
We all have been posting and answering thousands of questions on the SDN. Many times I have seen moderators asking the person who posted a question to use a correct and informative subject line.
With respect to that, I would like to suggest the moderators to add a rule in the rules of engagement asking the users to provide the SAP Version in the subject line while posting questions.
This way the person answering the question can appropriately provide information based on that version only and would save the time and effort of everyone.
Example subject line can be :
ECC 6.0 Function module xyz is not returning correct results.
I would like to know the opinion of other users too on what they think about this suggestion.
Best regards,
Advait

In theory - a very good idea.
In practice - hard to enforce.
On second thoght, it could be a required parameter. It might have the added benefit of dissuading questions from people who can't figure out which version they have

Service tax value required updating while posting GR in MIGO transaction

Dear Friends,
We have a following scenario where service tax value required updating while posting Goods Receipt MIGO transaction.
1. Purchase Order created for first line item where Qty. 1 and Net Rate Rs.1000/- so total Gross value will be Rs.1000/- example Vendor XYZ
2. Freight condition type maintained for the first line item for Rs.500/- and assigned to Transportation vendor ABC.
3. When Goods Receipt Posted for the Material against PO first line item, the material value updates Rs.1500/- (Material value as
    per PO + Freight Charges)
4. After posting GR while making Invoice verification through MIRO transaction against the PO GR/IR clearance will be done for
    Material vendor XYZ. For transportation Vendor ABC Planned delivery cost indicator will be select and since service tax is
    applicable Service tax code will also select.
Here the values of Service tax if the Material available in Stock it will be inventories. If stock consumed before making the Invoice verification for Transportation vendor ABC, then the Service tax values update to PRD account.
We know that in PO, tax code can be select for first line item (Raw Material) Vendor XYZ and if transportation charge condition type maintained for same first line item and assigned to Vendor ABC and there is no provision to maintain Service tax. So the service tax will get inventories while posting Invoice Verification for the transportation vendor.
We want the values of Service tax to update while posting Goods Receipt in MIGO transaction.
Thanks & regards
Dhanu

hi,
Please note at the time of MIGO Servecie tax value does not appear, it will appear at the tiem of Invoice only.

Hi,
Just go to "OBD2", select the Accounts group of your customer and "Double Click" on it, then "Double cliick" on "Sales Data" > Further goto, "Sales" and check if "Currency" field is suppressed. if so then change it to required or optional Entry. save and update you customer master in XD02.

SM 58 error while posting Idoc

Hi
I have installed a Netweaver XI 7.0 recently and have completed postinstallation tasks.
Communication between all XI components (i.e IR, ID and SLD is working.)
I am trying to test an Idoc to File scenario and while posting an Idoc from my R/3 system I am hitting upon this error "No service for system SAPD46, client 800 in Integration Directory".
I have scanned SDN forums and came across note 940313 which talks about the registration of R/3 system on SLD by one of the two methods as below..
Business system
Activities in the System Landscape Directory (SLD)(Create technical system):
      Create a technical system for system ABC in the SLD, and create the client for this. Do not forget to assign an "ALE logical system" (for example, "ABCCLNT123") to this technical system.
      SLD (Business system):
      You can now explicitly assign a business system to this client.
      For more details, refer to the SLD documentation.
      Activities in system ABC (self-registration in the SLD):
      Alternatively, you can register the system in the SLD in system ABC with Transaction RZ70. You will find detailed information about the SLD registration of systems on the SAP Service Marketplace for the "Exchange Infrastructure" in the document "Exchange_Installation_Guide.pdf".
      In system ABC, you can check your configuration with Transaction SLDCHECK.
      Activities in Integration Directory (import business system from SLD):
      You will find the business systems under Services Without Party in the Integration Services. In the Service menu, you will find the system identifiers, the client, and the corresponding ALE logical system under "Objects"->"Adapter-specific identifiers".
      Use the Import/Update button to copy the data from the SLD, to create business systems, or to update their identifiers.
I have performed activities highlighted in BOLD. But still error is same.
My question from XI Gurus is that is there any way to know if the manual step of registering my R/3 system in SLD is sufficient (As the SLD bridge for my R/3 system is not configured and I can not use auto registartion.)
Is there any way to check if the R/3 system is successfully registered.
Thanx
Lovein

Hi,
I think it is due to basis problem, at ID one of service is not working. Please check below mention link for configuration steps
http://help.sap.com/bp_bpmv130/Documentation/Installation/Configuration_Guide_FP.pdf
Meanwhile check all authorization for IDOC processing, else can't process idoc in XI
For IDOC to FILE scenario follow below steps
1. Define Logical system through BD54 after that assign logical system to client through SCC4 window in R3 & XI systems
2. Define RFC destination through SM59 window in R3 & XI
3. Define Port & partner profile through WE21, WE20 windows
4. Trigger idoc from transaction code or test window through WE19.
5. In XI configure SLD under define Product, Component, Technical & business system, it should be WEB as ABAP type.
6. Import component from SLD to ID window meanwhile import idoc from R3
7. Define target structure according to ur requirement and map accordingly
8. Define ports IDX1 & IDX2 in XI
9. In ID define scenario under import business system and configure steps according to ur requirement. Here IDOC is sender so no need communication channel and sender agreement.
It will work without fail

Changing the G/L Account while Posting the Goods Receipts in MIGO

Hi All,
I have requirement in which G/L Account needs to be changed based on some validation while Posting the Goods Receipt in MIGO.
I have created exit in OBBH by copying the standard SAP Program RGGBS800 in view V_T80D.
I changed following entry in view V_T80D:
GBLS     ZGGBS800     Val/sub:Exits for substitution
Now Inside program ZGGBS800, I have written the logic to change the BSEG-HKONT value with the new G/L Account which gets called inside the standard function module G_VSR_SUBSTITUTION_CALL.
FORM U999.
   DATA : V_HKONT TYPE BSEG-HKONT.
   clear : V_HKONT.
   SELECT SINGLE SAKNR FROM ZMASH1 INTO V_HKONT WHERE MATNR = BSEG-MATNR AND WERKS = BSEG-WERKS.
     IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
       BSEG-HKONT = V_HKONT.
     ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
After the execution of the above code the value of BSEG-HKONT changes with new value of V_HKONT but after this when I go further in Standard SAP code of function module G_VSR_SUBSTITUTION_CALL, there is one subroutine FORM EXP_TAB_009_BSEG being called which changes the value of BSEG-HKONT to initial value of HKONT also while moving the data from BSEG to TEMP_STRUCT it doesn't passes the HKONT value, which I want it be passed as I want the changed value to be passed finally to OUT_RESULT. Please look at the code below.
Following is the SAP standard code of subroutione FORM EXP_TAB_009_BSEG :

How to Bypass Tax Jurisdiction Code while Posting FI Document

Hello All,
   I have a requirement where I can enter Tax code along with Tax Jurisdiction for some of the cases while Posting FI Document using T code s FB01.. etc.
However for one scenario I need to BY pass the Tax Jurisdiction while posting FI Document . How to achieve this.
As per SAP once we define Tax Jurisdiction it is mandatory to enter as Input to Post the document.
But I need to control this Tax Jurisdiction as I dont want to enter while posting FI Document.It should not prompt for Tax Jurisdiction .
How to make an option field in this case (Based on Company code and Tax code combination).
Any BADI / User exit/BTE to Ignore the Error message Enter Tax Jurisdiction code).
Please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks.

My Query is , when am posting a document in FB01 Transaction , when I enter Tax code at line item level, Tax jurisdiction is mandatory if we dont enter it give an error saying that ' Please enter a Tax Jurisdiction' .
   My requirement is I would like to bypass that error without entering Tax jurisdiction I would like to proceed by providing default Tax Jurisdiction through any userexit/BADI/BTE. so that I will not get that error .
   So any USER-EXIT/BTE/BADI is there which will trigger before the error(maintain tax jurisdiction ) at line Item leve ?????
I hope now requirement is clear.

How to get the pop up of Down Payment Clearing while posting an Invoice using MIRO tcode

Hi,
I am having a requirement where I need to display the Down Payment Clearing pop up.
Scenario: While posting an Invoice, user have to check whether he had done any downpayment for the Purchase Order, if so, then there will be a Information displayed saying "Down Payment for Purchase Order xxxxxxxxx exist". Then user has to click the Down Payment Clearing button in the header level, then a pop up window is displayed.
But now my requirement is when the Information Message is displayed, if I click enter button to goto next screen, that time itself I need to display the Down Payment Clearing pop window, rather than clicking the down payment clearing button in the header level.
Kindly suggest any user exit or badi to do this customization
Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan G.

Hi,
At the time of entering the invoice from MIRO/FB60, system gives a pop-up for downpayment clearing. If you go in the help, the following thing is mentioned in the part Procedure.
Procedure
Check whether a transfer posting or a clearing of special G/L transactions (for example down payments) is necessary after you have posted the present document.
Here SAP has clearly mentioned that we can do the clearing after posting of this document.

:Due On" date field missing while posting with Spl GL indicator for vendor

Hello,
I am facing a problen while posting a n entry with spl GL indicator in fb01, the issue is Due On date field is missing in the screen.
I am posting an spl GL transaction for a vendor thro FB01 and after entering the posting key 39, vendor code and spl Gl indicator in line item and in next screen, the "Due ON" date field is not appearing.
Both vendor recon account and spl GL alternative account use same field status group and checked the field status group , the due date, payments terms are made optional.
The strange thing is, when I use the same vendor with Spl GL indicator "A" , the Due ON field is missing in next screen, and when I use spl indicator " B" , for same vendor, Due On date field is appearing.
Is there any specfic field status setting for DUE ON date field for Spl GL indicator wise? or please help me how to bring due on date field in the screen when posting spl GL transaction?
Please help me on this.
Regards
Surya

Hello Surya,
To make field baseline date for payment (BSEG-ZFBDT) ready for input for
posting the down payment, the following Customizing setting is
necessary:
Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ->
Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payment
-> Payment Method/Bank Selection -> Configure payment program -> All
company codes -> double-click on corresponding company code -> under
Customer -> 'Sp. G/L transactions to be paid' the letter A should be
entered.
The field "Due On (BSEG-ZFBDT)" cannot be controlled with field status.
It is contolled by field attribute of screen painter (Tcd: SE51). If
you look at element attribute for "Due On" field, a flag for required
entry is activated. In this case, field status has no control over
the field.
As of release 3.1G, field BSEG-ZFBDT is hardcoded in most FI screens
to be mandatory and cannot be influenced by any field status
changes. This situation is only valid when posting with special G/L
indicator (ie PK 29/39).
SAP development team has determined that this is a critical field. The
reason behind this is that this special GL screen and the data entered
here are very important to many other programs. This data affects
liabilities and receivables where due date is necessary almost
everytime. Thus, we changed this field in this screen in order to
prevent problems in many other areas. The reason is explained further in
note 95079.
545944    FAQ, down payment, tax code, baseline date
above Field is controlled through SE51 only.
Tcode : SE51
Program (screen)     SAPMF05A
Screen number        304
Eliment list press display.
special attributes.
BSEG-ZFBDT - Required.
Other options are below.
     The attribute "Input" can have the following values:
     o    Not possible
         The input/output field cannot be supplied with an input - that
         the screen element can only be used for outputs.
     o   Possible
         The input/output field can be supplied with an input at runtime
         the remainder of the transaction, an input is not required.
     o   Recommended (Optional Field)
         The input/output field should be supplied with an input at runt
         The system, of course, does not check immediately whether there
         been an input. During the remainder of the transaction, however
         input is necessary.
         To mark this kind of target field, the input template starts wi
         special character that is represented in the Screen Painter by
         question mark ('?'). The question mark will be suppressed only
         the field is in a table control or a step loop.
         You use the "target field", for example, if inputs cover severa
         screens and only at a later stage are subject to a common check
o   Required Field
    The input/output field must be supplied with an input at runtime.
    The system checks this property immediately, and very definitely
    when the event is processed (PROCESS AFTER INPUT).
    So that such a required field is marked accordingly, its input
    template must begin with a special character that is represented in
    the Screen Painter by a question mark ('?'). The question mark is
    suppressed only if the field is in a table control or a step loop.
I hope above information will resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

PDF Attachment while posting thru MIRO / FB60

Dear Friends,
I need your help on the following scenario.
Requirement:
we are going to build an interface for invioce postings in SAP using Tcode FB60(Invioce with out PO) and MIRO(with PO).
Data has to be picked up by the interface from a staging server where each invoice data is available in .dat format.
Data for posting is from the .dat file. We are going to store that in Z tables and will use for posting.
But our additional requirement is each invoice will have a PDF document(supporting document for that invoice), it is not the invoice as such, but an additional document.
While doing the posting in SAP thru FB60/MIRO transaction, the PDF file corresponding to this invoice has to be attached with this posting.
Problem Areas:
We know that an attachment can be uploaded thru transaction in FB03 after the posting is done using Object Services.
1. But our concern is how can they be attached programatically?
2. Can't we attach the file while doing Posting either thru FB60 or MIRO?
3. How to extract those PDF files placed in another server and attach during the background job?
Any help/inputs on this is highly appreciated.
SAP Version: 4.7 Enterprise edition
Note: Content of the PDF attachment is not the data for invoice posting, no need to read its contents, it only has to be attached with the posting.
Regards,
Simha

Change in requirement..
Hence i am closing this thread.

Simha

system needs to determine each storage location as a taxable and non-taxable location. During Goods receipt of any material, the tax amount of MPV needs to be posted to a specified G/L account
We are having Ztable from which program can look up for storage loc, and a tax indicator.
Is any one has done splitting of MPV account while posting GR, which is nothing but Transaction - PRD- Price difference.
I am trying to figure out the exit .
Any info will be appreciated..
Thanks,

Hi,
Top make clear about requirement as per Dipak request.
we have storage locations all over US under plant X
There are few states who don't collect tax( I guess you must be knowing.)
While creating PO.
Users know if it is taxable/ non taxable state.
Depending on that they give the Taxcode.
01- taxable
02 - Non taxable
Lets us say material price is $ 100 for EA
if given 01 in PO it is 100 + tax ; say $ 105
if given 02 in PO it is 100 + 0 ; say $ 100
now when i am making GR , this $ 5 is being posted to PRD account ; which is so called Price difference in SAP terms.
In reality its not price difference , its a TAX.
So now i want this $ 5 to move separate account.
its possible only by splitting PRD account ( i believe) ,
any suggestions/ solutions are welcome.
Thank you guys
Satheesh.

Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L

Hi All,
I need one clarification.
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.
Thanks

Find below your clarification for the points
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

Is padding required while posting to SAP
