Logical link / Work center for directly accessing "Business Activities"

Hi All,
We are upgrading from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. One unique challenge that I have encountered is the access to search, change or create - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (Leading Transaction category: BUS2000126) in the CRM Web UI. We would like to directly access Business activities through a work center -> Logical link or a Logical link, in the SALESPRO business role.
This is available in the IC_AGENT business role. But you need to create a preceding Interaction record and then create a followup activity -> Business activity. We do not want to do this. We want to be able to access the business activites directly. For example, Leads and Opportunities can be accessed directly through the work Center: "Sales Cycle".
Does anyone know if there is a work center that I can use in SALESPRO business role that will give me direct access to Business Activities . I can use the transaction launcher to access the HTML version of the winclient transaction (T Code: (CRMD_BUS2000126) but I do not want to use the transaction launcher. Any ideas?

Well I am pretty Serious?!!!
The standard SAP delivered "ACTIVITIES" WORK CENTER has the following Logical links for CREATE:
Activity
Activity Scheduling
Activity Template
Appointment
E-Mail
Interaction Log
Task
Visit Plan
And when you use the Activity create - you ONLY have the option to create:
Interaction log - Channel report
Interaction log - Partner report
Task - Approve
Task - Recurring Task
I would expect to see more than this. There are other BUS2000126 Business Activity transaction types which are enable to be maintained online in SPRO. But they do not show up here. I can use the Search - Activity logical link and then use Activity Type to find the other Transaction types. But not in Create. I can control the transaction types that can be displayed for Leads and Opportunities. It doesn't seem to work for Activities!!!!
Is this part of standard CRM 2007 SALESPRO delivered role functionality??? I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW and have access to the other Business activities in my security role. My Ophthamologist did confirm that my eyes are doing fine so far. So this has something to do with the way this 'Work Center' has been designed. Apart physiological/anatomical impediments what am I missing???
Thanks,
Ramesh

Urgent ! Help in linking Work center to goods movement

hello,
i need help in finding the work center for the goods movement in AUFM. The goods movement AUFM table shows all the goods movement entries but i want to tag it to the corresponding work center. i found out a way to tag it. by linking AFKO - RESB - AFVC - CHRD. But the problem is that if the material on the production order is the material that is finally produced, i cant find a work center for it. Because this material has no entry in the RESB table.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
hey everyone
is there a way to have the VORNR field connected to the AUFM goods movement. this will solve the problem of linking the work center . So if someone knows how to link the AUFM entries with the respective VORNR activity ? Please give suggestions.
thanks
Laura.

Laura,
Goods issues are linked as you described because components consumed by a production order have reservations (RESB) and are assigned to an operation (AFVC). Goods receipts, on the other hand, do not have reservations and therefore don't have this link to the work center.
If you are using automatic goods receipt, then one of the operations in the production order will have a control key set up for automated goods receipt (PP03 is the standard, and it's usually the last operation). The business would likely see this work center as being logically tied to the goods receipt of the produced material.

Tables to retrieve work center for target costs

Dear all,
currently i developing a report which requires me to display the work centers and their target and actual hours and costs. I tried using production order link tables but they only show work centers that are related to planned costs. May i know which tables can i refer to, in order to retrieve work centers that contribute to the target costs?
Thanks and Regards

I have a Report for - 'Equipment BOM' - IB03.
Problem: How to find the 'Maintenance work Center ' For Equipment ? (IE03--> Organization > Responsibility> Main. W.Cntr)
[ Note: For Client --> It's not necessary that each Equipment has Production Order, Few Equipments are taken only for Repair purpose, Equipment is there in table - EQUI,
So - Not possible to fetch from AUFK, HIKO or any other order tables. ]
EQUZ-GEWRK has the main work center. Pass the equipment number and valid-to date to get the main work center.

Any suggestions for how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE?

Any suggestions how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE? I can't use some of the shortcuts - insert, overwrite etc. maybe the system settings aren't correct?

This normally happens when debris builds between the trackball and the rollers on the inside of the mouse.
Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth to try and free it up.

How do I create a new Work Center for the transaction launcher and links

Hi
The requirement here is for me to find out if I can create a new Work Center that will contain up to 6 assignment blocks and each block having either links to websites and BW reports, or triggers to R/3 applications via the transaction launcher.
Can I do this purely through customising or do I need to create a new view using BSPs? If I can do it through customising please could I have a few pointers to what component I would need to use/copy?
Regards
Declan

Hi Robert,
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Just so I understand, if I want to show a work center I need to link it to a component / view? I think this was the original query - do I need a developer to create the view that contains the 6 blocks with their links to reports, transactions and websites? I think when I talk about blocks I mean 1 viewset containing 6 views. There is no SAP standard view that would suit my requirements is there? Even if the work center had 8 views, I can always hide the two views in configuration.
After the developer has created the view, I then reference that component in the target Id in the define logical links section of my work center.
If my understanding is right, then it follows that it is not possible to create a user specific work center without some development.
Is this correct?
Cheers

LAN side firewall settings for Direct Access (Windows Server 2012 R2) in DMZ?

I am currently planning to set up our first Direct Access server (Windows Server 2012 R2). I will be in our firewall DMZ and we will be using the IP-HTTPS listener.
For the Internet facing rule only TCP 443 inbound/outbound is sufficient but for the LAN facing rules (not talking about the Windows server firewall) what would be the recommended firewall rules for a Direct Access server? Is there a best practice guideline
to follow for this? Appreciate any advice or comments. Thank you.

Hi Barkley
Please see this Technet Link which will backup your requirements - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj574101.aspx
Section Reads -
When using additional firewalls, apply the following internal network firewall exceptions for Remote Access traffic:
ISATAP—Protocol 41 inbound and outbound
TCP/UDP for all IPv4/IPv6 traffic
Also another link from http://www.ironnetworks.com/blog/directaccess-network-deployment-scenarios#.VO3tfvmsVrU
"I have had a number of conversations with security administrators and network architects who have expressed a desire to place the DirectAccess server between two firewalls (firewall sandwich) in order to explicitly control access from the DirectAccess
server to the internal corporate network. While at first this may sound like a sensible solution, it is often quite problematic and, in my opinion, does little to improve the overall security of the solution. Restricting network access from the DirectAccess
server to the internal LAN requires so many ports to be opened on the inside firewall that the benefit of having the firewall is greatly diminished. Placing the DirectAccess server’s internal network interface on the LAN unrestricted is the best configuration
in terms of supportability and provides the best user experience."
Kindest Regards
John Davies
Thank for your reply and information John. I find it somewhat disappointing that Microsoft does not provide much more in the way of documentation and information regarding this topic. I required more information to show to our security team so they will allow
us to have the internal facing NIC not have more restrictive rules in place as it is a security concern.

Work center for Production order

Hi,
In my report I need to link the production order to work center. I have got all the information for the production order from AFKO, but I am unable to find a way to link it to the work center?
Thanks
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
Refer value AFKO-AUFPL, Use AFVC-AUFPL to fetch the operation details of an order. Fetch AFVC-ARBID for AFVC-AUFPL, use CRHD-ARBID to get Work center details.

Prasobh.
Award your marks, if this has helped you.

Operations Executed at a Particular Work Center for a Sales Order

Hi All,
We are using a MTO scenario. I have to get a report in which I have to list work center wise operations (and the corresponding material) which are carried out for a particular sales order.
User will create a sales order, and then do Sales Order based MRP in MD50. System will do a BOM explosion for the header material and will generate planned orders for the production relevant materials. User will then convert all these sales order specific planned orders to production orders. For a particular sales order these would be many operations (at different BOM levels may be ) that would be carried out at a particular work center. I need to get a logic for generating this report. Is there any FM etc or table table-field fetchig logic....
Regards

hi,
maintain initial screen entry as sale order.
Pass values to AFPO table. Identify all AFPO-AUFNR values which satisfies AFPO-DAUTY = 10
Transfer AUFNR values to AFKO and check AUFPL (Routing number of operations in the order)
Transfer AUFPL to AFVC and check the value of AFVC-ARBID (Object ID of the resource)
Transfer ARBID to CRHD and check value of ARBPL (Work Center)

Tables for Basic end date and work center for operation

Hi!
I need table name to fetch the basic end date of a maintenance order and maintenance work centers with respect to each operation in maintenance order.
Regards,
VM

Hi VM,
Input is Order Number (AUFNR).
You can find the Basic End date of Order in Table AFKO, filed is GLTRP.
For work center in Operations, you can use the Table AUFPL from AFKO.
Pass this AUFPL in AFVC and get the ARBID.
Then pass this ARBID to CRHD Table as OBJID, and get the work Center (ARBPL)

How to connect MAPL and PLPO to derive work center for planned order

Hi,
Anybody know how to derive work center using MAPL and PLPO for planned order (PLAF). Is there any connecting table between MAPL and PLPO.
Please help asap.
Regards,
Mitali

I guess u r trying to view the detail scheduling info (tab in MD13) for a planned order . In that case -
1. Go to PLAF and enter the planned order number. (PLAF-PLNUM) and get the ID of the capacity requirements record (PLAF-BEDID).
2. With this PLAF-BEDID go to KBED. pass the value here. KBED-BEDID. The KBED-ARBID values are your work center ID.
3. To get the work center texts ( the way is appears in the screen) - Pass this value to CRHD . CRHD-OBJTY = 'A' ( i.e Type work center) and CRHD-OBJID = KBED-ARBID.
Hope it solves ur prob.
Cheers

More than one work center for one operation

Hi Experts,
Is it posssible to assign more than one work center to one operation,in a maintenance order?
for example if head fitter and helper has executed maint.activity,how we can do this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prashil

Dear,
You cannot assign more then one workcenter to a one operation.
But you can assign to a sub operation,i.e to operation one workcenter and to suboperation anotherworkcenter.
For Sub-operation:
Go to task list change >>> Operation tab.
Let say your first operation number is 0010. Then below it for next operation change operation number to 0010 and next to it there is field for sub-operation give there number 0001 or 0010 as per your requirement. Select suitable control key and work center, give description and press enter. your sub operation 0001 will be created for operation 0010.
I hope it will solve your query,
Thanks,
Mohit
