Material inward & outward and Inbound and outbound

Dear SAP GUrus,
What is the meaning of
Material Inward,Material Outward, Inbound and outbound.
regards,
babu

Hi,
The inbound process comprises all the steps of an external procurement process{Material Inward}that occur when the goods are received. The process starts when the goods are staged at the vendoru2019s shipping point, and it ends when the ship-to party makes an acquisition posting for the goods. You can use VL31N transaction to create inbound delivery.
The outbound delivery forms the basis for goods issue posting, the data required for goods issue posting{Material Outward} is copied from the outbound delivery into the goods issue document. You can use VL02N/VL10B/VL10C etcu2026 to create outbound delivery. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.

Defining INBOUND and OUTBOUND

Hi Every One,
I have a very small question.
How do we define INBOUND and OUTBOUND?
I got this doubt, when I read some material, sometimes the directions (INBOUND and OUTBOUND) are told as per application systems which participate in message exchange? Sometimes the directions are told as per the XI integratin server.
Which of the 2 methods stated above is correct?
I hope I am clear in what I wanted to convey.
Bye, tschüs, adeu
-Naveen.

Hi NaveenKumar,
You use a message interface to describe a platform-independent or programming-language-independent interface, which you want to use to exchange messages between application components using SAP Exchange Infrastructure. Depending on the communication parameters defined for a message interface, it can either have the task of sending a request (outbound) or receiving a request (inbound).
An outbound interface sends a request message that is only used to make a communication party aware of data sent, without waiting for a response message. In the case of the latter, we also refer to publishing interfaces.
An inbound interface receives a request message that you reply to with a direct response message or whose data you can process in the system without a response.
I guess i have helped you solve your confusion.

Sharing Handling Units between Inbound and Outbound Delveries?

Hello-
I could use some guidance with how to best setup a handling unit scenario for a Third Party Purchasing process.
1.) Sales Order for Third Party Purchased Material (Vended Finished Good) is created in ECC.
2.) Purchase Order is sent to supplier.
3.) Shipping Label is generated in SAP and is assigned a Handling Unit. Label is sent to supplier.
4.) Supplier affixes this label to product and ships it to our warehouse.
5.) Goods Receipt is performed via Purchase Order (MIGO).
6.) Warehousing activities and Post Goods Issue of Outbound Delivery are performed via this label and Handling Unit.
We would like to do a few new things with this process.
A.) We would like to have the supplier provide us with the HU on their ASNs and generate a Packed Inbound Delivery from it.
B.) We would like the same HU to eventually be associated with the Outbound Delivery to the end customer.
Is their a best practice to share a Handling Unit across an Inbound and Outbound Delivery?
Is EWM Cross Docking the best way to accomplish this?
Are there other proven approaches?
Thanks for your time and help.

hi friend
Handling unit number for identity of packing materail , pallet material carrying the carton ,carton the carrying the material
like FG material and tray

How to connect to third party using PI for outbound and inbound interfaces

Hello,
I have scenarios where I have data coming in from third party EDI subsystem and sent to SAP. And also from SAP to EDI subsystem. We need to send the XMLs to the EDI subsystema nd also receive XMLs.
Can someone please suggest the ways I can connect to EDI subsytem for both Outbound and Inbound interfaces.
Thanks

Hi Prabhu,
EDI file is different from the normal flat or xml file. Hope you understand the difference.
Now if your EDI subsytem has the capability of converting the xml file to edi file viceversa then create and receive the xml file from the EDI subsystem. For the xml file you may use the file adapter as an option.
If it doesnot have the capability then seeburger adapter needs to be used. This is not an inbuilt adapter. So your company needs to purchase it.

SAP inbound and outbound delivey in single shipment document

Hi
We are doing outbound and inbound delivery creation in SAP. These are dropped to OTM(oracle transport management system). OTM will create orders for deliveries and groups multiple deliveries into one shipment. This is sent back to SAP for shipment creation. Problem we have is SAP can have either inbound deliveries Or outbound deliveires in a shipment. Based on inbound shipment or outbound shipment in shipment document type. OTM does not has this restriction and can bundle both outbound and inound in single shipment.
Business scenario we have is multi pick and multi drop, where there is possibility that 1) inbound del from vendor for PO 2) Outbound del to customer for SO and 3) outbound/inbound del for STO from RDC to DC in a single sipment.
Please advice ow this can be achieved in SAP.
Best Regards

It is not possible to involve both inbound and outbound deliveries in the same shipment. SAP has its deficiencies...
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-wm/inbound-and-outbound-delivery-in-the-same-shipment-3512217
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/f5/04898047bd11d2bf750000e8a7386f/frameset.htm
You cannot place outbound deliveries and inbound deliveries together in the same shipment document. Nor is it possible to assign Items from a delivery or an inbound delivery to different shipment documents. You must decide at the delivery stage whether order items can be shipped together in one delivery and therefore require only one shipment.

Messages stuck in QRFC inbound and outbound queues by system error

Hi Experts,
We faced a big problem in our PI server which stopped all the traffic in the iDoc to File interface. Both the QRFC queues (inbound - SMQ1 as outbound - SMQ2) where stuck by a system error.
In IDX5 of PI we saw two inbound iDocs on exact the same date/time of creation. Both iDocs are displayed in SXMB_MONI with the status "Canceled - Since Already Processed". The output files of both iDocs are generetad on the outbound side.
The output files are genereted with a date/time stamp in filename exactly as: "pi_20101106-221812-437.dat" and "pi_20101106-221812-438.dat". So it seems that both processes where running on exact the same time.
When looking into the system error we see the following details:
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.DuplicateMessageException: Message Id 00505697-181b-1ddf-babd-68f1ac208528(INBOUND) already exists in duplicate check table: com.sap.sql.DuplicateKeyException: [200]: Duplicate key
This caused that the QRFC queues where both stuck in inbound as outbound with a SYSERROR, so PI stopped and the queues should be reactivated manually.
Does anybody have some idea of the real cause of this error. We really want to prevent such situation in the future.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Joost

Hi Joost,
Are you using an adpater module to avoid the same file name processed by the receiver channel ???
If this is the case change the filename and retest flow otherwise remove the module (ex: localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean - Local Enterprise Bean) from the channel check it whether the file getting processed or not...
OR...you have an incorrect module configuration in the receiver channel.
Do not remove the standard SAP module and make sure that you add additional modules before it.
cheers,
Ram.

Seeking recommendations for handling large binary documents with security(preferable) for inbound and outbound scenarios from OSB- SOA and SOA- OSB

Hi,
I am currently working on a project with the following requirements
1. Client transfers binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from OSB proxy to SOA composite to Content Management system
2. Client retrieves binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from Content Management system to SOA composite to OSB proxy
In otherwords, a inbound and outbound integration.
What I have tried so far and my results:
Scenario A
1. Enabled MTOM on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
Scenario B
1. Enabled MTOM and security on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy and SAML policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
I have a demo integration setup that writes a binary document to a file using the above steps. My SOA composite has a file adapter that writes the binary data to an external file and it is exposed as a web service with a simple WSDL definition that has an inline XSD schema with an single element of base64binary type. I have added a mediator that maps this base64binary element node to the file adapter's input node.
Result for Scenario A with file size less than 1 MB:
Flawless execution with sub-second response times
Result for Scenario A with file size of 8MB
First attempt: SOA composite faults with database transaction related error, solved by increasing JTA timeout
Second attempt: Flawless execution, but file transfer took over 100 seconds to complete. This is very poor performance and my suspicions are that this cannot be the expected behaviour, but I dont know the internal workings of the SOA composite and why its taking this long.
Result for Scenario B:
The OSB business service does not accept/recognize the SAML policy in the WSDL and suggests to configure OWSM policies manually, but OWSM policy in OSB does not have the wsmtom policy. Regardless of this, any permutation of MTOM + WSS security in this integration scenario either did not work outright or MTOM optimization was not happening ie binary data was materalizing in the message body.
I have only about 3 weeks left to implement a viable solution and the closest ive come to a solution is Scenario A but that +100 second response time for an 8MB file is really worrying.
I would appreciate any level of guidance, recommendations or suggestions as to how I go about tackling this problem.
Thanks
regards,
Johnny

I think this is due to the underlying mechanism of weblogic classloading..
You can contact oracle support @ https://support.oracle.com to report issues. Roughly this is the process .
1- get the Oracle Customer Support Identifier (CSI) for the client you are working for.
2- Create a user profile quoting the CSI. This will send an approval request to oracle support admins at your client.
3- Get the oracle support admins at your client site to approve your request for support access.
4-Once they approve , you can access the support site and raise service requests.

To Monitor inbound and outbound messages for ECC 6.0 business system

Hi Guys,
I am working on ABAP proxy. I want to monitor the flow of Inbound and Outbound messages for my Business system (ECC 6.0).
XI server is on a different system.
I understand that SXMB_MONI is used for tracking XML messages. What kind of tracking can we do by this transaction in our Business system and the XI system?
And how do I know whether the outbound XML message sent is lying in the Sending Business system or in the XI system?
When I am testing my interface, there is a fault message generated. How do I know whether the fault message is being sent to XI?
Thanks,
James.

James,
Go to SXMB_MONI in your sending system.
Here you will find a message ID fro your Message.
Go to XI, --> SXMB_MONI -->Monitor For Processed XML messages --> Advanced Selection Crieteria and use the Message ID here to see if the Message has hit XI or not.
Likeiwse it can be traced in the target system as well.
The basic point, The messages will have same Message Id on your R3 and on XI.

Bhavesh

Few Question around inbound and outbound

Question 1.
I have a scenario for IDOC WVINVE0 sending inventory data to legacy system and need to get back the same file with 2 field data which were empty at the time of sending to legacy.
So it makes the interface as outbound and inbound to SAP.
What should be the strategy to acheive the same?

Second Question
In case of Outbound IDOC->XI->File
Transport acknowledgement will be used, is it possible to know which record had a problem or not as in this case XI wil be sending ack . Can you please give me the steps to do the transport ack.
And if I want to acheive this then I guess I will have to create different interface to get the error file from legacy system and then send the email to the concerned person.

Third Question
Scenario File -> XI -> IDOC
How can I acheive application ack and what are the steps to acheive the same.

Hey
>>Question 1.
on what basis are those two fields gonna be populated?u can split ur scenario into two async scenarios,one being IDOC to File and second one being File to IDOC.
have a look at the following to get acknowledgement from File in case of IDOC to File scenario.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/22/xi-playing-with-the-file-adapters-acknowledgments
also have a look at the following for IDOC acknowledgement
