Material with Parent Child Relationship

Hi,
Need some advise.
We have this scenario, use purchased materials (.e.g Computer bundle with mouse, monitor and keyboard). We need to track these components separetely at different cost and update inventory with serial no.
Upon creating Sales Order for the above materials, how to we ensure that the full set of materials is picked and delivered. As each components has it own material code.
Is there possible to link up these materials with some sort of parent child relationship? And how to handle it in SAP MM and SD moduld.
Thank you.

Peck,
Unless I am missing something, this is not a Materials Management issue, it is a Sales/Distribution issue.
I think the easiest way is to check the 'complete dlv.' (Complete Delivery) checkbox on the Sales order (VA02>Sales Tab).
When this flag is set, none of the items in the sales order can be confirmed unless all of them are confirmed. All confirmations must be for the same day. No delivery can be created unless all items are deliverable.

Update column with parent child relationships

Hi,
i need to update a column with parent child relationship.
Please provide the possible queries..
Gobi..

Hi,
Depending of the objective and the size of the tables, personally, for maintenance purposes, I preferred duplicate the parent with the new column value and duplicate the child records with this same new value. Other alternative is disable the foreign key temporarily.
You can take a look on this link below too:

Regarding Sales order creation using Material with Parent-child

hey guys
i cannot create sales order for parent child material using Below bapi(BAPI_....ORDERDAT2).
Could you please tell me if any special parameter should be set with this bapi
to create the order for PARENT MATERIAL AND child materials.
i am able to create parent-child material order using VA01. but cant using BAPI
just for information I am passing Parent materail alone to the BAPI.
can somebody give suggestion.

Baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship

Hallo,
I'm trying to produce a baseline project gantt like the one I found on: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:85:997721269859901::NO:::
I want to show planned dates and actual dates using this query:
select null link,
NOME task_name,
ID task_id,
ID_P parent_id,
PREV_START actual_start,
PREV_STOP actual_end,
round(perc) progress,
nvl(DATA_START, prev_start) planned_start,
nvl(DATA_STOP, prev_start) planned_end
from GANTT
but since it looks like it's impossible to show null dates in actual_start I exchanged them so that I have planned dates in the blue line and actual dates in the green one.
It works fine If I have simple tasks but If I have a child, Apex does not display the so called planned line (the green one) anymore, I cannot understand why.
Could you please help me?
Could you suggest me any tutorial about Apex Gantt?
Thank you very much,
Valentina

Thank you VC,
I've already read the tutorial and it's useful but it's only about resource gantt in apex while I'm interested in project gantt.
Hope someone has already done something like this.

Insert Record with Parent/Child Tables doesn't work with Oracle - unlike AC

Hi,
I just Migrated a MS Access 2010 Database to an Oracle 11g Backend with the SQL Developer Tool.
The Migration went fine, all the Tables and Views are migrated.
I'm working with MS Access as Frontend.
The application has some Datasheets with Subdatasheets with Parent/Child Relationship. (1-n Relationship)
After changing to Oracle, it's not possible, to Insert a new Record in a Subdatasheet I always get the following Error Message:
"The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'xxxx' with key matching field(s) 'zzzzz'"
It used to work perfect with the MS Access Backend, do I need a trigger which first adds the child Record ?
Or what should I do?
Thank you

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for your answer. I still haven't solved my problem. The only way would be to use a singel 1:n Relationship, but in fact I need a n:m Relationship.
I tried the same scenario with a new Access Application, same result.
To clearify my problem.
Goal: Parent Form with Parent Records, Linked Child Form with Child Records in a Datasheet View => Insert of a NEW Child Record.
I have 3 Tables (table1 = Parent tabel, table2 = Child Table, table12 = n:m Tabel with PK and two FK)
The Recordsource of the Parent Form is Tabel1
The Recordsource of the Child Form is Table2 joined with Table12.
In my Old Access Project, Access Triggered the Insert and filled Table12 with the NEW PK of Table2.
It seems like Access can't do that anymore....
I'm pretty desperate and I'm sure it is just a litte thing to fix.....

How to model parent child relationship with DPL? @Transient?

Hello All,
I want to model a parent entity object with a collection of child entities:
@Entity
public class Parent{
@PrimaryKey
String uuid;
List<Child> children;
@Entity
public class Child{
@PrimaryKey
String id;
I know that the DPL won't support automatic persistence where it'll recursively go through my parent bean and persist my children with one call. Is there a way of applying the equivalent to JPA's @Transient annotation on "children" so I can persist the children manually and have the engine ignore the collection?
If not and I want to return to the user a Parent with a List named "children," do I have to create a new object which is identical to Parent, but doesn't have the BDB annotations and manually assemble everything? If possible, I'd like to avoid defining redundant objects.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Steven,
The definition of persistence is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/persist/model/Entity.html
And includes this: "All non-transient instance fields of an entity class, as well as its superclasses and subclasses, are persistent. static and transient fields are not persistent."
So you can use the Java transient keyword. If that isn't practical because you're using transient in a different way for Java serialization, see the JE @NotPersistent annotation.
In general a parent-child relationship between entities is implemented almost as you've described, but with a parentId secondary key in the Child to index all children by their parent. This enables a fast lookup of children by their parent ID.
I suggest looking at this javadoc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html
as it describes all types of entity relationships and the trade-offs involved. The department-employee relationship in these examples is a parent-child relationship.

Parent child relationship is not displaying for IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS (PO)

Hi,
Can somebody help me the reason why parent child relationship not displaying properly for ORDER05 basic type?
If we go in details about the problem, a purchase order is creating in R/3 through EBP. To modify my requirement I am using userexit EXIT_SAPLEINM_002. Here I am appending the records in the segment for E1EDKT1 and E1EDKT2. IDOC is creating with an error of status record 26.
When I check in the transaction WE19 for the respective IDOC the data is showing correctly for all the segments including e1edkt1 and e1edkt2 segments and also I check in the table EDID4 segment number is showing correctly and the for the segment E1EDKT2 PGNUM also showing correctly, but when I see the IDOC in the transactions WE02 unable to see parent child relationship between E1EDKT1 and E1EDKT2 segment. Simply the data is displaying one below other like other segment.
I don't know the reason why it is displaying like that?
If anybody is having the solution is highly appreciable.
Regards,
Noorul

hi hassan,
When you are appendng the REcods which belong to the purticular segment..
all the segment needs to be appended in in the proper order as in the WE30..
I think you are appending the segment E1EDKT2 at the end of the EDIDD.. or IDOC_DATA in the user exit.. .. eventho no eerror will be displayed but idoc will generted with sataus 26 .. if check the STATUIs Recored u ewill find the SYNTaX ERROR.
Sollution for ur probelm is... don append the E1EDKT2 at the lastr instead you ahve to insert the segment E1EDKT2. only afer E1EDKT1....
Tehn you r problem will be solved.. I had faced the Same proble when i worked on material maser idoc..
Close this thread if when u r problem ise solved
Reward if helpful

Does table STPOX contain parent-child relationship between components

Hello
I need to get a list of components of SO BOM.
FM CS_BOM_EXPL_KND_V1 exports an output table STPOX.
Does this table contain parent-child relationship between components? If yes , can somebody tell me which fields contain parent child id.
thanks

Hi,
STPOX is not a table, it is a structure & hence there is no storing of data in a structure. The table which stores this info is STPO.
To get the link you can refer to STPO-STLNR & pass this value to MAST-STLNR, this way you can link the child with its parent.

Help needed in retrieving parent child relationship values

Hi,
I have a requirement to get parent child relationship values as below.
Ex: Address table
cont cont_code state state_code
C1 10 S1 1
C1 10 S2 2
C1 10 S3 3
C2 20 S4 4
C2 20 S5 5
C3 30 S6 6
C3 30 S7 7
C3 30 S8 8
I want a result of country/state and corresponding code like below.
corresponding states should be displayed under each country with some space appended to it.
Geography code
C1 10
S1 1
S2 2
S3 3
C2 20
S4 4
S5 5
C3 30
S6 6
S7 7
S8 8
I am using oracle 10g version.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you post formatted text (like your output) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
I think you're saying that you want this output:GEOGRAPHY CODE
C1 10
S1 1
S2 2
S3 3
C2 20
S4 4
S5 5
C3 30
S6 6
S7 7
S8 8
If so, UNION, as Hoek suggested, is a good way.
GROUP BY ROLLUP is more efficient, but harder to understand:SELECT     CASE
          WHEN GROUPING (state) = 1
          THEN cont
          ELSE ' ' || state
     END          AS geography
,      CASE
          WHEN GROUPING (state) = 1
          THEN MAX (cont_code)
          ELSE MAX (state_code)
     END          AS code
FROM     t
GROUP BY cont
,      ROLLUP (state)
ORDER BY cont
,      state          NULLS FIRST
By the way, this looks like a bad table design.
In a relational database, the fact that the name 'C1' belongs to cont_code 10 should only be stored in one place. You have the same information on 3 separate rows.
Also, if 'C1' and 'S1' are both names, they should probably be in the same column, so that (to give just one example) you can find the information about 'x1' without knowing if it is a cont or a state.
A better design would be.NAME     CODE     PARENT     DSCR
====     ====     ======     ====
C1     10          CONT
S1     1     10     STATE
S2     2     10     STATE
S3     3     10     STATE
C2     20          CONT
S4     4     20     STATE
S5     5     20     STATE
C3     30          CONT
S6     6     30     STATE
S7     7     30     STATE
S8     8     30     STATE
If the data is this simple, then the dscr column isn't needed. Whether parent is NULL or not tells whether the rows represents a cont or a state.
To get the results you want from a table like this, you could use CONNECT BY. Using either UNION or ROLLUP, you have to know, at the time you write the query, how many levels there will be in the parent-child tree, and the length of the code is proportional to that depth, and the table has to be changed if you ever need to add another level. CONNECT BY can handle any number of levels, and the length and complexity of the code is the same whether you have just 2 levels (countries and strates), or 7 levels (continents, regions, countiries, states, districts, cities and neighborhoods) or 72 levels. The table doesn't need any more columns, no matter how deep the tree gets.

I think what you need is recursive CTE
Consider your table below
create table basetable
(PARENT_OBJ varchar(10),
PAREBT_OBJ_TYPE varchar(10),
DESCEN_OBJ varchar(10),DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE varchar(10))
INSERT basetable(PARENT_OBJ,PAREBT_OBJ_TYPE,DESCEN_OBJ,DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE)
VALUES('JOB_A','JOB','WF_1','WORKFLOW'),
('JOB_A','JOB','DF_1','DATAFLOW'),
('WF_1','WORKFLOW','DF_2','DATAFLOW'),
('DF_1','DATAFLOW','ADF_1','ADF'),
('JOB_B','JOB','WF_2','WORKFLOW'),
('JOB_B','JOB','WF_3','WORKFLOW'),
('WF_2','WORKFLOW','DF_3','DATAFLOW'),
('WF_3','WORKFLOW','DF_4','DATAFLOW'),
('DF_4','DATAFLOW','ADF_2','ADF')
ie first create a UDF like below to get hierarchy recursively
CREATE FUNCTION GetHierarchy
@Object varchar(10)
RETURNS @RESULTS table
PARENT_OBJ varchar(10),
DESCEN_OBJ varchar(10),
DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
;With CTE
AS
SELECT PARENT_OBJ,DESCEN_OBJ,DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE
FROM basetable
WHERE PARENT_OBJ = @Object
UNION ALL
SELECT b.PARENT_OBJ,b.DESCEN_OBJ,b.DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE
FROM CTE c
JOIN basetable b
ON b.PARENT_OBJ = c.DESCEN_OBJ
INSERT @RESULTS
SELECT @Object,DESCEN_OBJ,DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE
FROM CTE
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
RETURN
END
Then you can invoke it as below
SELECT * FROM dbo.GetHierarchy('JOB_A')
Now you need to use this for every parent obj (start obj) in view
for that create view as below
CREATE VIEW vw_Table
AS
SELECT f.*
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT PARENT_OBJ FROM basetable r
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM basetable WHERE DESCEN_OBJ = r.PARENT_OBJ)
)b
CROSS APPLY dbo.GetHierarchy(b.PARENT_OBJ) f
GO
This will make sure it will give full hieraracy for each start object
Now just call view as below and see the output
SELECT * FROM vw_table
Output
PARENT_OBJ DESCEN_OBJ DESCEN_OBJ_TYPE
JOB_A WF_1 WORKFLOW
JOB_A DF_1 DATAFLOW
JOB_A ADF_1 ADF
JOB_A DF_2 DATAFLOW
JOB_B WF_2 WORKFLOW
JOB_B WF_3 WORKFLOW
JOB_B DF_4 DATAFLOW
JOB_B ADF_2 ADF
JOB_B DF_3 DATAFLOW

Parent-Child Relationships in Essbase Studio

In Essbase Studio, I am defining a hierarchy in which a parent member (Wholesaler) is from one dimension table and child member (Rep) is from another. When I preview this hierarchy or build an outline to include it, a few of the Reps that should rollup to a certain Wholesaler are missing. They are not dropped, but Essbase Studio just never recognizes these Reps as being children of that Wholesaler in the first place. However, if I run a sql query against the source data mart with the correct joins, these missing reps do show up in the records of that Wholesaler. Also, the missing Reps are showing up fine in the hierarchy preview as long as I don't make them children of anything in the Wholesaler dim. So Essbase Studio is able to see these Reps, but just can't figure out how they are related to the given Wholesaler. Again, this is only happening for about 10% of the Reps for the Wholesaler. Other Reps are showing up fine in the parent-child relationship.
In the source data mart, I don't see any NULLs or anything amiss in the records for the missing Reps. What other reasons would Essbase Studio not recognize a particular joined record?

it really does sound like a join issue. You say if you just load the children without the parent, they load, but if you associte them to the parent, they don't. You might try when creating the joins to do a full outter join to see if they load and to what.
One other thing you could try would be to create a user defined table that has the join in it. I've found data atype issues in joins from different tables before. Studio is very pickey about this

How to output the outline parent-child relationship using a report script?

I'd like to extract the outline's dimension members with it's parent-child relationship using a report script. Anybody can provide a sample script? Thanks.
Example:
DimensionX
-----MemberX
----------ChildX
Output:
Dimension X MemberX
MemberX ChildX
Edited by: obelisk on Jan 11, 2010 5:16 PM

Sorry a report script won't do it. You have two options
1. Use at Essbase Outline API to walk the outline and get it for you
2. Use the Outline extractor available from Applied Olap (it is a free download). It can be run interactively of as a bat file.
Frankly, I would rather use 2 since I don't have to code it myself

Parent Child Relationships between Drop Down Menus

I have a request for additional functionality. Parent child relationships between drop down lists.
for example,
the first dropdown, could contain North, South, East, West & assign values of 1, 2, 3, 4.
the second dropdown, could contain a filtered set of data depending on the option from the first dropdown,
so the data could look like this in the second drop down:
Manchester 1
Leeds 1
London 2
Southampton 2
Norfolk 3
Newquay 4
so if I select North in the first dropdown, the second drop down would contain all the items with a value of 1, so Manchester & Leeds.
I have managed to get round this using conditional show & hide, but it is much messier on the design screen & also the way in which the data
will be returned is very very messy - seems like a simple addition which would improve the functionality no end.

Question about File Content Conversion and parent-child relationships...

Hello!
 I have read probably every blog, article and SAP Help document on the topic, but I am stuck on this one. I am trying to convert a General Ledger flat file to an IDoc using the classic file --> IDoc scenario. The setup is done and working, but the IDocs are formatted incorrectly and I believe at least part of the reason is how I am converting the file content.
The root of my problem is that the flat file has a parent-child relationship between the document header and the document item and I want to maintain that since the IDoc type (FIDCCP01) has the same structure in the BKPF and BSEG segments.
Here is the flat (non-XML) file layout that is coming into the file adapter:
FileHeader
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
and so on (until the number of documents is complete
I would really like the content to be converted so that the line items stay under their parent document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
 </ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
</ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
But I keep getting this, where it lists the document headers first (one after another), and then all of the line items after the document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<ItemHeader></ItemHeader>
Is is possible to maintain that parent-child relationship from the flat file and pass it over to the XML?
Thanks,
John
