Location of Reference Designators within the SAP BOM

Hi,
Please help me with the following scenario.
In the electronics industry, each of the components in an assembly usually has a reference to a circuit symbol in the schematic. That is, in a typical Printed Circuit board, each component is usually referred to as R1, Q1, C1, etc. In those cases where the Bill of Material has a component quantity of more than 1, the reference to the circuit schematics can be something like R1-R7 for 7 occurences of a Resistor.
My question is where in the component record of a BOM can you store the Reference Designators and which BOM report will include this data?

Hi,
For this purpose you can use the field:Sort string in BOM MAintenance.
You can have this field in CS11/CS12 etc..
The field reference : STPO-SORTF.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Siva

Interacrive forms within the SAP GUI

Hello
I want to work with interactive forms within the SAP GUI, with ABAP.
I've managed to display a generated PDF in an ABAP screen, with CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER, using the method LOAD_DATA. The problem now is getting the filled data out of the form. Is there any standard way of doing it? (getting the data without saving the file)
I've thought of some ways, such as getting the filled file somehow as a binary file, or handling the document's Submit button, but I haven't managed to get any of them to work.
Is there any way to make it work, or use the different PDF classes to do it..
Thanks

Workflows within the SAP environment

Hello,
for my diploma i'm evaluating the different workflow technologies within the sap environment. Therefor i set up a list with the different technologies and want to know if i'm missing something.
1) ALE
2) MDM Workflow
3) Business Workflow aka Adhoc Workflow
(CRM Workflow, SCM Workflow are synonym to the Business Workflow)
4) SAP Webflow aka SAP Workflow
(kind of a successor of Business Workflow)
5) Guided Procedures
6) Business Process Engine aka ccBPM
Are these the most used Workflows within the SAP environment or is something missing?
And what is the difference between SAP Business Workflow and SAP Webflow? Some source say these two are nearly the same, except the "web-capability" of Webflow...
btw: Sorry for posting this question in the Coffee Corner but its a farreaching area and i dont know which other forum it would fit better...
thx for replys
Matthias

Matthias -
Please be assured that there was no irony or sarcasm intended - if you can complete the evaluation task that you have set for yourself, it will not only be a wonderful achievement but also something that I'm sure many here would want to read and comment on.
The one thing to keep in mind - perhaps the most important thing - is that technological alternatives are never pursued rationally. Rather, they are generally pursued for the worst of reasons - someone's opinion of where "the market" is going at any given point in time.
So unless you can get an SAP "insider" to explain to you why SAP's workflow alternatives developed the way they did, you will not really have a complete picture.
Of course, it's also true that sometimes good things can happen for the worst of reasons, so perhaps the "inside" history of workflow at SAP is irrelevant.
The reason I'm going on about this is because I still don't think "the powers that be" at Walldorf have realized yet that the way to get pre-NW clients to NW200nx (NWDS, WDA, WDJ, GP, VC) is to get them to use regular old workflow first.
There is nothing in NWDS, WDA, WDJ, GP, and VC that can't be done in a pre-NW environment using a combination of user exits, BAdI's, BAPI's, and workflows.
And if SAP customers were to start using these older techniques to implement "integrated" and "process-driven" applications, then they would get into a "state-of-mind" that would make them much more confident of their ability to handle NW techniques, and much more aware of the benefits resuling therefrom.
As the old saying goes -
you've got to take folks from what they know to what they don't
i.e. you can't simply "shock and awe" customers into what you want them to start using.
Sorry to go on like this, but all these matters are tied up in the project you are about to undertake ...

Address change after update of the postal reference data in the SAP

Hi experts,
We are going to update our postal reference data in the SAP regional structure (SRxx, report RSADRLSM02).
Can we use the tools for the Quarterly Adjustment to update our addresses ?
Thanks in advance for your responses,

Hi Frank,
I am not sure what kind of project cost planning you are using. Usually it is either direct WBS cost planning with CJR2 or cost roll up from Network Activities and Orders or ECP.
The system will take AType price relevant for the period. If you have 100 hours with price 20 for Year N and 50 hours with price 30 for Year N+1, the planned cost will be 2000 + 1500 = 3500.
CJ40 is the Overall Planning, but you still can select a year (as a period). In the Overall view you have no button for Activity Input, it will show up only when you select a year.

Best way of approving invoices within the SAP system for payment

Hello Guru,
In the past, my client used to send invoices from the unmatched report to the appropriate department head for approval. This approval was recorded in the notes which stayed with the invoice and it would automatically assigned ID and date and time to the note. There for awhile this process did not work (due to personnel changes and software upgrades) and we would print the invoice have them sign the paper copy.
Now my client have the software on all necessary computers, so they want to use the electronic approvals again. My client can’t send the invoices to the department head as a ‘send reference’ to keep the approval with the invoice. However, they can send the invoice as ‘send document’ which creates a separate attachment called "note.txt" but I can’t see where it is maintained with the invoice.
Please advise on the method to be using because my client would prefer to use the "send reference" they have been using before the upgrades?
Thank you.

Hello!
You can use standard Release for Payment Functionality. This functionality can be configured as part of accounts payable configuration. Main configuration steps are as follows:
- create workflow varian for release for payment (OBWA); you can also use standard SAP workflow variants;
- assign company code to workflow variants;
- define release approval groups for release of payment (OBWB);
- define release approval paths for release for payment (OBWC);
- assign release approval paths for release for payment (OBWD);
- assign release approval procedure for release for payment (OBWE);
- define relevant document types for release for payment (OBWQ);
- define users with authorization for payment release (OBWP);
- define payment block reasons for payment release (OB27).
I think these are more or less the main steps. More can be found in the configuration documentation;
Please also check this guide - Payment Release Process - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki;
Hope, it will help!
Best wishes,

Any ideas on restricting userID Role Assigment within the SAP Security Team

Hello,
I have gotten a request to look into restriction of assignment of roles to oneself within the company SAP Security Team. Thoughts I have come up with so far involve the use of UserID User Groups, Role Assignment Ranges, and forcing all role assignements for all userIDs through GRC-AC CUP for QA and Prod. Has anyone come up with a workable solution that is outside of these suggestions that they have put into practice?
Thanks in advance for your help!
John

Hi John,
There can be a manual control in place and individual should not assign role/s to himself / herself.
Otherwise, security team members can be assigned to a specific group (let say Security) and they shouldn't have access to authorization S_USER_GRP with ACTVT 22 & CLASS - Security.There should be a dedicated power user to assign the role/s to the security team members and this can be auditted (SM20 log for manual super user / FireFighter log for FireFighter user).
Thanks

Drag and Drop Functionality within the SAP Portal

Does anyone know if SAP Netweaver Portal 6.0 sp18 supports drag and drop technology. A good comparison would be Google where a user can drag iViews around and place them where they would like.
We are trying to build something similar to Google Gadgets with iViews and we would like our users to be able to add, remove, drag, and drop them in the Portal.
Has anyone done something similar to where I would be able to leverage them for further questions.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jason

Hi
Were you able to find away of using the drag and drop functionality?
I am wanting to use a similar functionality to Yahoo where people can just drag the iViews they want into the page and saving their personalised settings. I am unable to find information as to what Portal release supports this functionality and how it works. Would you be able to help?
Many thanks

Issue to send email (using sp_send_dbmail) with an attachement located in other server within the same network

I have two servers. One is for databases (DB) with the mail server configured and the other is for SSIS without mail server. Both servers are in the same network. On the SSIS server the SSIS package exports data from the DB server table
to xls file. The file is saved in SSIS server. When I created a task to send the email (using sp_send_dbmail) to attach that file, I got the error message:
Error: Executing the query "EXECUTE [msdb].[dbo].[sp_send_dbmail]
@profile_na..." failed with the following error: "Attachment file H:\test.xls is invalid.".
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
A Fan of SSIS, SSRS and SSAS

Where are you running this?
If its in the other server (DB) you need to use UNC path to the SSIS server folder where file resides
Also the executing account should have access to the folder as well as the file. So If you're running this from a job make sure you either provider folder and file access to sql agent job service account or create a separate proxy account with the required
permissions and configure the job to use the account

SNP Planned order - Doesnt get the complete BOM when CIFd to ECC

Hello,
When we create SNP Planned order in APO and sent to ECC, the Planned order doesn’t get the complete BOM, it works for the most part, except if we have Materials from multiple plants within the same BOM (sourcing from multiple plants).
Do we have to do any separate Configuration for this scenario?
We are planning only the End item in SNP, and we are generating the production version and PDS transfer to APO. We are not transferring all the materials to APO.
if we go to the Change mode of the Planned order in ECC and re-explode the BOM, I get all the components from the BOM, its just that when the planned order gets created thru the CIF we have this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gk

Hello Marius
Thank you for your quick response.
I looked at the SAP note you mentioned, the description seems to be matching with the issue we are having. Recently we had SNC implemented, and the note states that that can be the case why the components are getting deleted during planned order creation.
The only thing about this note is its very old, and we are having the SAP 6.0 and SCM 7.2 ,
Do you think this would be still applicable.
I will look into the details and let you know whether the note is applicable for us.

Help with doing SELECT sub query within the SET of an UPDATE statement

After doing some research, it appears as if it's possible to use a SELECT subquery in the SET of an UPDATE statement. i did find some examples and here is my code, however when I click the "check" button it's saying the field (my entire select subquery) is unknown and neither in one of the specified tables or defined by a "DATA". Do I have a syntax issue or is there another reason why it's not taking this as a valid statement? Thanks for the help!
LOOP AT IT_DATA
UPDATE /BIC/AZDP_O0140
   SET /BIC/ZCOUNTER = (SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT MATERIAL )
                        FROM /BIC/AZDP_O0140
                        WHERE MATERIAL EQ IT_DATA-MATERIAL
                        GROUP BY MATERIAL).
ENDLOOP.

my Update does indeed have a WHERE clause but because of the issue i'm having, all my criteria in my WHERE is black text in the ABAP editor. The editor doesn't even recognize the keywords "WHERE" or "EQ". Below is my entire statement which contains all WHERE criteria in both the Update and the Subquery, i've just removed it for testing to help simplify the query and eliminate as many other factors as posisble that may be causing problems:
LOOP AT IT_DATA.
   UPDATE /BIC/AZDP_O0140
   SET /BIC/ZCOUNTER = (SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT MATERIAL ) FROM /BIC/AZDP_O0140
   WHERE WHSE_NUM EQ IT_DATA-WAREHOUSE
    AND PLANT EQ IT_DATA-PLANT
    AND /BIC/ZTRAN_NO EQ IT_DATA-TRANS_NUM
    AND DELIV_NUMB EQ IT_DATA-DELIVERY
    AND MATERIAL EQ IT_DATA-MATERIAL
    GROUP BY MATERIAL)
   WHERE WHSE_NUM EQ IT_DATA-WAREHOUSE
    AND PLANT EQ IT_DATA-PLANT
    AND /BIC/ZTRAN_NO EQ IT_DATA-TRANS_NUM
    AND DELIV_NUMB EQ IT_DATA-DELIVERY
    AND MATERIAL EQ IT_DATA-MATERIAL.
ENDLOOP.
i should also mention the sources i found were not within the SAP Library but instead on other third-party ABAP websites. so because i was having issues i wanted to post here to see if anyone else has come up with a working solution. but if this cannot be done i can likely come up with a solution for my needs using multiple internal tables, this would just have been much easier since i can get a query like this to do what i want in SQL Server. Thought i could utilize this in ABAP as well.

The SAP documentation "Experience"

Hi everybody,
I have a small problem with Adobe Document Services and so I need to check the configuration that I did.
I decided to use the last available documentation. Here is my experience on this specific case of documentation finding :
I started from the installation guide I used to install my J2EE system :
>SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 Java on Windows:
>MS SQL Server
>Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1
OK, page 107, I can read :
>Perform manual configuration as described in the Adobe Document Services Configuration
>Guide at:
>http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including Enhancement Package 1) English
>SAP NetWeaver Library Technology Consultantu2019s Guide Business Task Management Adobe Document Services
>(Configuration) Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide
Let's go to help.sap.com
Here I find first a list of important SAP notes.
The first one seems to be a must reading : 894009 Adobe document services: Configuration Guide (NW 7.0)
Let's go to read this note : I have to copy and paste the note number because the HTML link has not yet been invented at help.sap.com !
I now display the note which tells me that :
>The current version of the configuration guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is at the Internet address >http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe. Choose Installation & Configuration -> SAP Interactive Forms - Configuration Guides.
>We recommend you always use the newest version.
OK, let's go to www.sdn.sap.com
Of course the screens have changed since the note was written and I have to find by myself that the configuration guide is here :
System Administration --> ADS Configuration
When I click on ADS Configuration, I'm back at the help.sap.com page where I came from !
On this page I can read :
>Check the newest printable version of this Configuration Guide in the SAP Service Marketplace, available at >http://service.sap.com/adobe ® Media Library ® Documentation.
Ok, back to service.sap.com where I am welcomed by this great message :
>The content of your interest has been moved to the SAP Developer Network (SDN) Community within the SAP Community >Network.
>Please use the following link to access all information on SDN:
>http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/netweaver
>Please click to display the information about
>Adobe
>in a separate browser window.
If you click on the Adobe link, you get back to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe !
So the loop has been looped twice and I have now got a headache !
I think there is a good space for documentation improvements from SAP, don't you think so ?
I propose that if you make the same kind of SAP documentation "experience", you can report here.
Exposing it might be a way to get improvements and to have fun too !
Cheers,
Olivier

Delivery without reference for stock transfer within the same plant 311

Dear all,
I need to create a delivery without reference for stock transfer within the same plant, movement 311, i.e. just from 1 storage location to another storage location.
I tried to use VL01NO with delivery type UL.
Now my question is how can I assign a receiving plant for a customer?
I can't do the MIGO or MB1B document because I need the delivery document (packing list, forms, Texts,...).
It's possible this option???
Thank you very much.

Hi,
What is the item category you are assigning while doing VL01NO? Check the schedule line category for that item category assignment. That Schedule line category has an option for one step GI. There you can assign 311 or create a separate item category and schedule line category and in that SC assign 311.
Thanks
Krish.

Is the touch/tap the default interface on the 2011 MacBook? What is it exactly?
I have a 2011 and I do not think it is the default on any Mac, but it is certainly an option. You can either use the regular hardware click button, or if you go into the Trackpad preferences you can turn on Tap to Click. That will make the trackpad work like it does on an iPhone/iPad screen, where there is no hardware click, you just tap and that equals a click on whatever you tap.
This is good for people who like the idea of tapping to click. Personally I can't stand it...if tap to click is on, I find myself tapping objects by accident, especially in web browsers. (Which is weird because I'm very comfortable the touch interface on my iPhone and iPad.) I prefer the normal hardware click button so I turn off Tap to Click. But I have friends who like Tap to Click and turn it on. Apple lets you do it whichever way you prefer.
By the way, I think the reason the physical click button doesn't bother me is because somehow I trained myself to always click with my thumb at the bottom of the trackpad (where the most leverage is), not where the finger is. So if I move the cursor with my index finger, I don't do the click with the index finger but with the thumb at the bottom of the trackpad. That way my click always has maximum leverage.

About SAP standard reference value of the statistics data ST03N or ST03

Dear all,
Did you have a reference value of the statistics data ST03N or ST03?
Because when I saw the statistics data, I realy could not analysis these statistics data, and I also did not sure the value of the statistics data was right or not.
Could anybody give me a good advice?
Thanks a lot~

Hi CX,
Glad to know you coming from Mainland China
Let me help you to check the very 'old' SAP training book BC315 2003 version on Chapter 4-18 it says:
n If a problem is detected, the data in the Workload Monitor (Transaction ST03N) can be used as follows to identify the area of the system where the problem is located.
n First check for general performance problems affecting all transactions. Good general performance is normally indicated by:
 Wait time < 10% response time
 Main menu (choose Transaction Profile) < 100 ms
n In the Workload Monitor, the following values normally indicate good performance:
 Average roll-in time < 20 ms
 Average roll wait time < 200 ms
 Average load (and generation) time < 10 % of response time (<50 ms)
 Average database request time < 40 % of (response time - wait time)
 Average CPU time < 40 % of (response time - wait time)
 Average CPU time Not much less than processing time
 Average response time - Depends on customer requirements there is no general rule
The last statement is pretty much reasonable coz you cannot expect an old machine running latest SAP version like ECC 6.0 performs as fast as current big giant machine like IBM p5 595.
From my experience sometimes hardware upgrade/configuration is much easier than an SAP Basis to try to drain his brain to get the 5% performance increase. For example, an ECC 5.0 instance which using EMC storage was configured as RAID 5 initially, however later when it was configured as RAID 1+0 the performance increased a lot --- Bottle net was the storage.
Many cases like that...What I mean is that by maximum the hardware of the machine is the first thing to do for an SAP Basis... It's not surprised that a box is only utilized 40% of its memory, of course, by mistake.
Nice to know you again my Mainland friend I've been missing that hometown for long.
