Item level parcel Tracking with external carriers through AII

Hi folks,
I am new to AII and am trying to explore the possibilities with the tools at hand.
With flexible delivery processing, we have tight control over the goods statuses across customer and supplier. For example, EM would let the customer know that the goods left the warehouse and are on their way.
Suppose I would like to integrate this information with the parcel tracking service of external carriers. The web services and web based tools such carriers offer are surprisingly immature. Some "global" companies are not able to provide seamless information, every carrier has their own standard and some do not provide public interfaces which could be used for customer-level tracking in a useful way (eg requiring authentication credentials of the warehouse clerk requesting the delivery).
I am wondering whether AII could be enabled to orchestrate this information flow. If an appropriate EDI format would exist, the carriers could be requested to update AII on shipment item level with any new statuses through EDI. Now it's up to the supplier to present the information to the customer as need be. This would remove inconsistencies as mentioned above.
Does this sound like a viable idea, are there EDI messages available for the task at hand and do you know of companies having successfully implemented something like this?
cheers & thanks,
Andi

Hi Amit,
thanks for trying to tie in!
You are right in assuming that I mixed up the purpose of AII and EM. This is about making EDI-based information accessible to all partners involved, and therefore a case for EM.
Probably it helps if I re-state my thoughts. The supplier sends an ASN to the goods recipient. Afterwards, the goods are transported by a logistics provider based on a transport order. Question is, how can the intermediate delivery statuses of the provider be captured and published? Web UIs of the Providers with a tracking URL seem a very unreliable way of doing it.
I figured that IDoc IFTSTA seems to be the correct form for this kind of information to flow back from the carrier to the supplier and from there to the recipient.
Does it seem to be a viable option to incorporate the carrier data into EM for tracking purposes?
Cheers & Thanks, Andi

SharePoint Item level permission is not been carrying to Folder and Library permission SharePoint 2013

Good Day
I have a document library with multiple folders containing documents.
Security "Group A" views all content.
Security "Group B" gets granted permission from the users in Group A by running a workflow.
Problem:
When users in "group A" runs the workflow on the document level the permission is not carried to the folder and library level.
So users in "Group B" are unable to view the folder or library in which the document is located.
Thanks

We have found that many unneeded mistakes are made when dealing with SharePoint permissions. As a result we created a Data Room product for SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2013
that allows users to easily share, track and analyze files and greatly simplifies permissions in SharePoint.
Take a look, we are offering it free for 6 months.

XSI: how to customise parcel tracking with dynamic URL

Hello,
is there anybody having a clue on how to implement the parcel tracking functionality in 4.6C ? actually it seems like there is no proper documentation available so I'm thankful for every hint!
In detail I would like to open a subscreen in -- delivery / header / parcel tracking -- showing me the tracking status of a delivery (should be button Internet parcel tracking).
thanks in advance,
greets

Hi Andy, Roberto,
Could you please share any documentation available to implement Parcel Tracking at the item level and how VTRKP table can be updated.

Read all items when when item-level permissions set

I have a SharePoint 2010 list where the general user population should be able to submit and read only their own items.
Item-level permissions set as follows:
Read access : Read items that were created by the user
Creaed and Edit access : Create items and edit items that were created by the user
That works fine.
Now, I have a small group of power users that need read-access to all list items. I can do that by granting 'Contribute' permissions, but I don't want them to be able to modify items, so I prefer granting only read permissions. When I do that, they can't
see all the items due to the item-level permission settings.
Is there a permission level that I can use (perhaps a custom permission level) that enables a read-all (and overrides the item-level permission)?

With these specific settings, there are not. It is possible to do security through obscurity by only showing views that allow the users to see their items and use audience targeting for the others, but that is not true security, so it will depend on your
requirements.

Automatic task assignment @ Item Level

Hi,
As you may all aware, in the quality notification tasks can be assigned @ Header level as well as Item level. Now through response profile, I am able to assign the tasks automatically @ header level when priority is selected for the notification. But is it possible to assign automatic pre-defined tasks @ item level?
Please advise.
RP

hi,
Through Response profile , it is possible at header level , but auto assignment at item level is not possible, bcoz at item level the task assignment w.r.t to object overview.

SRM Item level Workflow

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I have started developement of Item level Approval WF in SRM.
Can anybody help me what are the steps I need to follow for development.
Currently I am able to get the approval step but Approvers are not coming. some step missing i guess.
In the Item level WF I need to do following things
1) first 3 levels will be the header level approval
2) next 2 steps will be item level approvals
And this workflow should have all the functionality of standard WF of SRM.
I dont know how to achieve this. I am very new in WF.
Any help will be awarded
Thanks
Smita

Hello,
First you can check the sample implementation to get start.
Item level approval works with 3 tables that are sent to worklow instance each time the document (SC or PO) is changed (or created) :
- "object" table that define the object to be approved and their criteria (3 possible)
- "item" table that link item to approval object
- "approval" table that contain that define for each approval level the approver and the object to be approved
Stay close to the sample implementation to generate the 3 tables and it should be fine.
Now, if all items are linked to the same approval object, it is like a header approval (for your first three steps).
In the badi:
An import parameter "approval_index" in the badi indicates you at wich step the workflow stands. Consider that that you only need to send the following steps including the current step (actual index).
In general: check notes and make the system be very up to date concerning workflow correction

Items uploading (with g/l accounts by item level) through DTW

Dear All,
how to upload 1000 items with 400 warehouses with different item level g/l account determination for each item in warehouses through DTW.
is it possible through DTW ,but not using copy express.if there any solution please suggest me.
thanks
komanduri.

Hi Komanduri.....
Yes it is possible to transfer those details by DTW.
What all you need to do is you have to fill template for OITM and OITW_ItemWareHouseInfo.
Put Set GL Method o=in OITM template as on Item level and fill the necessary GL accounts in OITW_ItemWarehosueInfo Template.....
Hope this will work for you.........

Prevent invoice split with different partners on item level

Dear Experts,
in a sales order we have different representatives (partner function "VE") on item level due to commission issues. Now we have the requirement to prevent the invoice split with different representatves on item in order-related billing. While in copy control it is easy to prevent invoice split due to different VBRK-fields we have not found a userexit ( or copy-control) to prevent invoice split with different partners.
Anybody has an idea to this issue?
Thanks for your help.
Mark

Dear Mark,
You are on the right-track.
As, there is no standard routine, you have to write your requirement in existing routine (i.e. modify standard routine with your requirement)
To do so, go to:
T. Code: VOFM --> Copying requirement(Menu-bar) --> Billing Document (Take help from ABAPer).
Write code as an implicit enhancement:
clear: KURGV-KUNNR
- {Please confirm the Table-Field name}
And if there is any further changes, ABAper will help you out.
Once modified, attach your routine in to Field: VBRK/ VBRP.
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: I think, following thread will help you and clear the requirement:

Financial reporting and balance carry forward at Line item level

Hello
We are in the process of implementing a new GL and using it to create Balance Sheet and P&L statements in BW.
We have installed the new datasource for GL line items 0FI_GL_14 and loaded the data to a DSO. Installed the 0FI_GL_10 (totals infosource) as well.
Also we created a custom infocube on the line items DSO and want to use it to report against a Financial Statement Version. In order to do that we created a
virtual cube with the FM and added the necessary Financial Statement Item and other key figures in the virtual infocube.
Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube? Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
How do we address the Balance Carry Forward on the Line items cube? Since the balance carry forward is done on totals only, and the cube I created is a detailed cube is it possible to carry forward balances at that level?
Also can someone let me know what is the best approach to create financial reports and give drill down capability at the document level?
Thanks in Advance
Raju Kosuru

Now I want to know is it the correct way to create financial reports?
NO .. Its not.
Can we load totals and Line items to the same infocube?
NO
Do we have to load totals to a different DSO/Cube or same Cube?
Yes.. SAP has delivered C10 for Totals and O14 for line items... No point in creating cube for line items i.e. on top of O14.
Balance carry forward can be done on totals only (that is how totals extractor _10 is designed), U can not do that on the Line items. Pls contact functional consultant for clarification
Best approach is RRI (Jump targets) for _10 report to _14 report to give drill down capability at the document level.

Sales order costing - tracking of actual costs at sales order item level

Hi
We are going with sales order costing for services
Service material is non-valuated hence the scenario is non-valuated sales order stock
PP module is not implemented.
I am having following questions
1. How to track the actual costs at sales order item level? Is Internal order/CO production order is required to be created for the same?
2. Can I do activity confirmations directly from cost center to sales order item.
3. Can Raw material is issued directly against sales order item.
4. Is Sales order is a real or statistical account assignment object?

Item Level Security not working with Tabs

I've Portal 9.0.2.2.22
This issue is with Item Level Security with Tabs. Here is what I've have:
Page Group: MyPagegroup (Privs: portal => Manage All)
Page: MyTestPage (Privs: portal => Manage All,
testUser => View)
There is a tab called MyTab on page MyTestPage which has two items (simple images) image1 and image2. The tab's access privs have been set NOT to inherit from the page. The public check box has not been checked for the tab. I've specifically assigned access privs to the tab.
Now here are the two scenarios that I'm having problem with:
1) MyTab (portal => Manage All, testUser => view)
image1 (ILS enabled: portal => Manage All)
image2 (ILS enabled: portal => Manage All,
testUser => View)
When logged in as "testUser", I still see both the images on MyTab although image2 doesn't have view priv to testUser. My expected result is to see just image2 on the tab.
2) MyTab (portal => Manage All)
image1 (ILS enabled: portal => Manage All,
testUser => View)
image2 (ILS enabled: portal => Manage All)
When logged in as "testUser", I still see NO images on MyTab although image1 has view privs to testUser. I would expect to see image1 on the tab.
Question: In both the above cases, the tab privs seem to be dictating what the user sees regardless of what the item level privs are set to. Is this normal behavior or a bug? If a bug, is there a patch? Is there any way so that even after setting the tab privs, I still have finer control of what the user can access through item level privs?
If I don't put the items under a tab, then things work as expected.
thanks

Customer line items with balance carry forward no opening balance

Hello FI Experts,
We have ticket where the user is using a Z* Report for Customer line items with balance carry forward. In 31.01.2007 user has posted some legacy data, latter he was executing this Z* report then user can see the values posted on the same day (31.01.2007) as line items. But he was executing the report on 01.02.2007 then he was not able to see the line item as well as the values posted on 31.01.2007 as opening balance as on 01.02.2007. But if we run the report as on 01.01.2008 then we are able to see the values which are carry forwarded as opening balances. Did anyone have worked on this type of scenario?
Requirement Here Is: The values that have been posted on 31.03.2007 which are still open line items should get displayed as opening balance as on 01.02.2007.
Thanks for helping on this issue.

Hi,
Any report will get data from Tables. Please check whether the table you have used to develop this report has opening balance.
Balance will be carry forwarded only when you run the balance carry forward program. Check whether this was run for the date you have specified. This can be done in the year end.
If you are checking in the middle of the year, then the balance will not be carry forwarded.

B. Radhika.
