Material flow system in SAP WM

Hi,
Do have functionality of configuring the material flow system in normal SAP warehouse. I know its possible in extended warehouse management, however is it possible in normal centralized or decentralized warehouse system.
Regards

Hi,
It is possible to integrate TRM and WM to subsystems in both instances.
We have integrated WM with a TRM layer using both TRM tasks and WM transfer orders (as appropriate) with conveyor and sortation systems.
With TRM tasks are communicated to the subsystem and then confirmed back to TRM.
However with the integration to automation the link between system response time, performance and the physical world becomes very important. In each case an MFC layer was present to guarantee no time dependencies were built into the solution and to remove the PLC communication overhead.
With EWM it is possible to remove this MFC level and interface directly with the head PLCs.
Whatever solution you are intending to design you must make sure automation and the process are tightly integrated and as much consideration as possible has gone on understanding timing and dependencies between systems.
Thanks James

    If you say the material master is available in the 1st system (where you create the order), then the material number in the IDOC  may not match with the material number in your database.

    Hi Neetu
    you have to mainatin Item text and not for material PO text...
    Do these settings:

    then check you should have a entry for "Item Text" if not then
    Put a Consec no. and against it enter item text. then for this you have to maintain text linkage where u should have source object as Purchase requisition.
    please confirm if these settings are already there?

  • Check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 from Java

    Hi all,
    We have both SAPR/3 and Java Based Systems and going to integrate with XI.
    For Java user is it possible to check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 system or not.
    For this requirement can we create any scenario and get the stock available info from SAPR3?
    If so then which type of adapters we have to use in this case.
    The Java user don't want to store any data here and there but just view the stock is available or not just from his end only.
    bye
    regards
    konala

    You can use synchronous Java Proxy-XI-RFC.
    Code the RFC to get the stock of R/3 material and route the response back to proxy.

  • What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

    Hi All,
    Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
    Thanks

    Hi Surya,
    Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
    1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
    From Shop floor:
    shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
    1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's  for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

  • Steps for delete material from system

    hi , all sap pp experts
          in material master by using mm06 we give deletion flag for material but system can't delete that material. So is it possible to delete material from system? if yes then please tell the sequence for this process
    thanks in advance
    regards
    Nitin Nerkar

    Before Archiving the Material Master the materials need to be flagged for deletion in T Code MM06/MM16.
    Archiving the materials is done thro T Code SARA. All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown.
    When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
    Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
    Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
    To archive the material master, first go to transaction SARA
    Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
    Save the variant.
    Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
    Click Go to Job Overview to check the archive status.
    To do a permanent delete, click Delete button.
    Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
    Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
    Click Go to Job Overview to check the delete status.
    This need to be done carefully and better to first do it in testing client.
    After archiving those materials will not be displayed in reports unless categorically selected
    Note: SARA is a general transaction where you can archive all types of records using respective archiving object

  • Intra-company stock transfer between two ERP Systems without SAP APO

    Hi,
    I'm looking for information regarding the scenario Intra-company stock transfer between two ERP Systems without SAP APO.
    On help.sap.com, I can only find below image, but I'm actually looking for the configuration settings required to implement it.
    Does anyone have experience with this scenario?
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi Jagdeep,
    Thanks for the reply. I understand that I need to use iDocs and setup communication between both systems. What I am actually looking for is detailed information on the setup of the purchase order type and sales order type. Especially because there is no invoicing involved in this flow.

  • How to implement SSO to non-SAP systems using SAP logon ticket?

    Hello,
    We would like to implement Single Sign On between our SAP Netweaver system and a Siebel which is a non-SAP system using SAP logon tickets.
    Can anyone please give me some leads on this, in particular:
    1. Is there a JAVA API or an SAP plug-in that can be implemented on the Siebel machine to extract the SAP logon ticket?
    2. As the other machine might seat on a complete different domain, is it possible to implement SAP logon ticket without using cookies (perhaps through the HTTP header?
    3. In case you think using SAP logon tickets is not the best solution here I would be happy to hear any other suggestions you might have.

    Hi,
    I'm currently using SAML as well. Unfortunately the SAP J2EE cannot work as authority (identity provider) but what you can do is using an open implementation of SAML such as opensso which is an open version of SUNs Java System access manager.
    There are a couple of other projects such as opensaml, apache's wss4j or shibboleth that might be interesting in this context.
    I just installed opensso and got it working with SAP J2EE 7.0 using SAPs JAAS SAMLLoginModule to authenticate users within SAP J2EE.
    In this scenario opensso serves as identity provider just as you need! There are a couple of Policy agents available on SUNs Download site you can use with Apache, Tomcat, JBOSS, WebSphere, Bea Web Logic etc. in order to authenticate! Otherwise you just directly authenticate against opensso. When installing opensso you can configure the type of user store you want  to use! By default it uses LDAP but you can also use different types of user store using JDBC or other mechanisms. Since you have a Directory Service you could easily connect it to your existing directory.
    There is also a way to map user ids directly in opensso by adding a uid mapping class. I created some documentation with lots of screenshots about using opensso with SAP J2EE. You can easily use opensso with any other system that supports SAML. In the case of SAP the usage is currently limited to SAML versions 1.0 and 1.1. Version 2.0 is not yet supported but should be in one of the following versions.
    Here are some links you might want to check:
    OpenSAML: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/OpenSAML/Home
    wss4j: http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/
    shibboleth: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/
    opensso: https://opensso.dev.java.net/
    On SDN you will find a documentation on how to connect SUN Java System Access Manager to SAP J2EE (see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/906d9fc6-31b9-2910-1385-90edad7d7570). As I said opensso is based on the SUN Access Manager code and looks quite the same. So you can adapt this documentation in order to configure opensso or you can just ask me for the documentation.
    Hope this is helpful...
    Let me know if you need further assistance on this topic
    Cheers

  • Changing from Periodic inventory system to SAP

    Hi All,
    I have an accounting questions regarding company that switching from Periodic Inventory system to SAP's perpetual inventory system.
    For company that practices Periodic Inventory System, the method to calculate cost of goods sold = opening stock balances + purchases - closing stock balances. All these is reflected in the P&L statement.
    When they switch to SAP, do they need to enter all these figures into SAP for the opening balances?
    As SAP will not have opening balance stock, closing stock and purchases accounts, do they have to create these accounts in P&L just to take in the balances?
    Does anyone have implemented for company that changing from periodic to perpetual inventory system? How do you take in the opening balances? if possible please give example, thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    MH

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the reply. But what is the variance that you guys are talking about? Take example:
    Old system:
    Opening Stock balance = $ 5,000
    +Purchases                  = $20,000
    -Closing Stock balance  = $ 9,000
    Balance                        = $16,000
    The amount that goes into Asset is Closing Balance $9,000 and the amount goes to P&L as COGS is $ 16,000? The rest for $20,000 and $ 5,000 can be ignore?
    Thanks in advance if anyone can answer my question here.

  • How to UNLOCK  queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

    Hi  All,
    I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shwetha.

    Hi,
    Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
    If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

  • How to extract non-sap data (A/R Invoices from Legacy system) into SAP ICR

    Hi
    We are trying to bring A/R invoices from a legacy system into SAP ICR special ledger so that ICR tool can be used these items for intercompany reconcilliation. Could you please let's know the way to load these legacy AR invoice items into ICR data base using any function moduels.
    Regards,
    Eswar.

    Hello Eswar,
    In what form do you have these "external" open items? If they are contained in a file you should simply import the file in ICR during data selection using the File Upload functionality. There is no need to store them in a special purpose ledger first. Actually you would have to create a BADI implementation to extract the data from that special purpose ledger during data selection. Please consider using File Upload standard functionality.
    If for some reason this cannot be used you could implement a logic calling RFC enabled function module FB_ICRC_ADD_DATA_RFC which will take the open items you are supplying in your logic and push them into the ICR database. This strategy could be used to include these external open items without them being processed during data selection.
    Best regards,
    Ralph

  • How to transfer data from legacy system  to SAP

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to know the process and the steps followed to transfer data from my legacy system to SAP.
    Suppose if i have all the data in the form of Excel sheet or doc type. How can i transfer this data into SAP.
    Please explain the steps followed.
    Appreciate your help
    Anil

    Hi ,
    Conversion of legacy data into SAP can be uploaded using a standard SAP Tool called LSMW ( TCode:LSMW).
    the below link gives a brief explanation of the LSMW tool
    http://tutorialsap.com/abap/sap-lsmw-tutorial-with-steps-to-create.html
    There are various methods to upload data within LSMW. If the number of records are very high like Article Master or  Conditions for Retail the IDOC method must be used.
    Standard IDocs
    1. Article Master - ARTMAS
    2. Conditions - COND_A
    3. Source list - SRCLST
    4. Customer Master or WRF3/WRF6 tables - DEBMAS
    5. Vendor master- CREMAS
    Etc. Use transaction code WE60 to see the structure of each of the idocs. New enhancements can be done for the idocs if the required field is not available.

    1) No updates will have been done for the items with errors.
    2) Mark the Batch, then press F2 to call up the analysis. You can check here for the cause.
    3) If you are not going to correct the items or the cause so as to post them, just delete the batch.
