Migrating from SRM 7.0 Classic to ECS - Seeking some clarifications

Hello Friends,
We are now planning to upgrade from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 and then migrated to Classic to ECS. We have the below challenging points which I need clarification,
1) How do we go about the Taxation and Pricing Part, If we migrate from Classic to ECS
2) Presently we have R/3 contracts in place and the same is linked to MDM catalogue and now the client wants the contracts to
    be in SRM. In that case how do we go about the strategy.
3) Asset Procurement: Now all WBS element are converting into assets by running the Z-Program in between PR and PO in R/3
   system. But when we migrate to ECS PO gets created in SRM, so how do we go about the asset procurement in ECS scenario.
4) Confirmation and Invoice transferring to R/3 through Idoc distribution Model. Going forward in SRM 7.0 the same will continue or
    do we go with SOA. Please confirm.
Further to this can you please let me know, what are all the major challenges for upgrading the system to SRM 7.0 and migration from Classic to ECS.
I would appreciate for you quick response. Points will be awarded for appropriate answers.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram.

Ramesh,
Few inputs for this project
1. You need to clearly seperate out the upgrate (5.0 to 7.0) and Migration (Classic to ECS) in your project planning to derisk the project i.e. you should have seperate testing cycle time/ efforts for upgrade and then on migration so that functional/ teachnical team working out in the project can clearly identifies issues between upgrade and migration seperately and work on them.
2. You have to work with business to make a decision on conversion of old classic PO's (incomplete GR/IR still required) and PO in process (SC created under approval in SRM). I strongly suggest you should not involve into conversion and keep it out of this project.
3. SRM do have option to take care of your tax configuration. BTW most of the company use external software to calculate tax amount.
4. You need to build workflow for PO in SRM since now PO will be created in SRM.
5. You need to create smartform / output determination in SRM for the PO. Please note SAP has provided some consulting notes if you continue to handle document transmission in backend with ECS.
6. Yes a distribution model needs to be setup for confirmation and Invoice if you are not doing it now in classic scenario.
Asset procurement solution you mentioned looks specific to your Org business needs, you need to explore to fit into new environment.
All the best
Thanks, Sachin

HT3989 i've migrated from my macbook pro to iMac and now some patches of the exs24 instrument do not work in logic

hi community,
I recently bought a new imac and migrated form my macbook pro. I'm running logic and when i opened one of my logic project files i've been working on, some files (mostly exs24 instrument files) would not load up with the project file...a message was displayed with each file that could not be "detected" with an option to "Continue" or "Search again"...if you "search again" nothing happens and if you "continue" the files ends up loaded up with the exs24 instrument on some tracks not reading the patch file? This also happened with some audio files which would not load with a logic project file? I really do not want to reinstall and risk losing anything more...please help

Hi
Migration Assistant seems not to work well for some with Logic. Probably the easiest way to sort this would be to re-install the content.
You could check Library:Application Support:Logic and Library:Application Support:GarageBand for the "missing" files to see if the really are there.
If they are, it may be a Spotlight issue, which can be fixed by 're-building' the Spotlight Index.

Problem with some queries after migration from MS Access

Hi everyone!
We've just finished a migration from a MS Access database and we notice some errors when running some queries like :
Query1:
SELECT A.field1, A.field2, B.field1 as FieldTmp
FROM A,B
where (B.field1 <=10);
Query2:
SELECT Query1.field1, Query1.field2, Query1.FieldTmp
FROM Query1 LEFT JOIN Table3
ON (Table3.field1 = Query1.Field2) AND
(Table3.field5 = Query1.FieldTmp)
WHERE ((Table3.field5) Is Null)
ORDER BY Query1.field1, Query1.FieldTmp;
The Query1 runs as expected, but when I try to run the Query2 I got a ORA-00904 error message. If I remove the (Table3.field5 = Query1.FieldTmp) statement or modify to compare with another field (as instance, field2) everything goes fine.
If I modify the first query to a make-table query, the Query2 request runs as desired too.
Is there anything that we can do to keep the queries statement as it is when using the MS Access DB?
Thanks in advance,
Elaine Viel Denadai

Hi Turloch! Thanks for your help!
Those SQL Statements were extracted from the MS Access application that we will continue to use to access the data , now on an Oracle Database.
I don't know what I can do to make this kind of statements works as it is on Access database. The first query, that I called Query1 works fine on Oracle, I just mentioned it because the 2nd Query , named Query2, use it.
I'm not able to understand why when I change the 1st. query to a "make-table" query the Query2 works as desired, but if I keep the Query1 and Query2 as it is on the MS Access Application I got the ODBC error message and the ORA-00904 error message , related (I think!) to the FieldTmp field used on the LEFT JOIN statement (AND).
As I told before, if I change the AND clause to compare to another field, as instance, field1 :
FROM Query1 LEFT JOIN Table3
ON (Table3.field1=Query1.Field2) AND
(Table3.field5 = Query1.Field1)
it works.
Please, is there anything that I can do to keep the MS Access Application unchanged?
Oracle = 8.1.6
Oracle ODBC Driver = 8.1.6.4
Oracle Migration Workbench = 1.3.1
Thanks in advance,

Migrate from Palm Desktop/OS 10.4 to OS 10.6 & new iPod Touch?

I'm very dependent on Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to keep my life organized. My old Palm died long ago, but I like Palm Desktop more than any other alternatives I've seen. I've ordered a new iPod Touch. I'm pretty sure that, to use it with my iBook (running OS 10.4.11) that I'll need to upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard if I want to share info with the Touch.
Moreover, I think I'll need to sever any ties to my beloved Palm Desktop: I don't think it's compatible with OS 10.6. I've explored similar posts, but haven't found an answer I could use or understand. So if someone knows of an online description of migrating from Palm Desktop to either the equivalent Apple products or to Google, I'd appreciate the URL.
The main feature I like in Palm Desktop is the ability to create links between all the modules. For example, I can set an appointment with a doctor, then attach the doctor's contact information and attach a memo that has a list of questions and directions to the new office. My existing database is cross-linked between all these types of info.
Is there any way I can retain these cross links when I migrate? Do any of the Apple PIM programs let you create these kinds of cross references with new information? Does Google or some other software let you do this better?
From what I've read, it sounds like getting the information exported into a format that can be imported to a new program isn't easy. BTW, I'll also be migrating from Eudora to either Mail, Thunderbird mail, or some third party equivalent. I won't use any flavor of Outlook. Is there something about MobileMe that would make this migration easier?
Can you tell that I'm operating on the very fringe of what I'm technically able to understand? I've stuck with Palm Desktop for 8 years. I'd appreciate any guidance anyone could provide -- in an easy, step-by-step way. Forgive me if this information exists elsewhere. Directions to that info also would be appreciated.
Quickly exceeding my technological Comfort Zone,
Marganne

The Palm Desktop works fine with 10.6.6 (and even Hotsyncs to Palm, though I gather this is irrelevant to you). However it is dependent on Rosetta, so (avoiding speculation to conform with the terms of this Forum) were Rosetta to be removed in a future system upgrade the Palm Desktop would be inoperable.
You're not going to be able to salvage the contents and use them in a linked fashion in the same way. It's possible to salvage the contents, though it's going to entail some work.
MEMOS - Evernote (basic version free) is a good replacement and extremely flexible: its contents can be synced to an iPhone or iPod Touch. The contents of the Palm Memos can be imported into Evernote using the Palm Desktop Memos Importer for Evernote (free)
CALENDARS - Palm Desktop menu File>Export and export Date Book as vCal. In iCal File>Import and import the vCal file into iCal - it will appear as an 'On My Mac' calendar. Use File>Export>Export to export this as an .ics file. Create a new calendar under your MobileMe login name (I'm assuming you've upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar) and import the .ics file into this. Delete the previously imported calendar. (If you don't want to use MobileMe just leave the imported calendar where it is.)
You can't separate the Palm categories and you will need to go through it making any necessary adjustments.
It's worth considering BusyCal, which is like 'Pro' version of iCal with much better handling of ToDos and many extra facilities. On an iPod Touch it's well worth considering Week Cal which, though I've not tried it, appears to be a much better calendar than the rather basic built-in one.
TASKS - you will have to enter these manually, one at a time - it doesn't appear to be possible to import them into iCal. iCal won't handle repeating ToDos - BusyCal will. They also make BusyToDo for iOS which reads the ToDos from the MobileMe calendar and handles them separately and much better.
ADDRESSES - you can export these as a vCard - select all first - and import that into Address Book (watch out for duplicates if you are already using Address Book).
It's not clear if you have MobileMe: if you don't want to sync between computers or iPhone/iPod Touch you don't need it, but if you do it's the best way - Google and Yahoo have issues. However you should be able to sync to an iPod Touch using iTunes, though as I don't have this device I don't know whether there are any downsides.

Attachment transfer of PO from SRM to Back end for extended classic scenario

Hi Experts,
We are using the SRM 7.0 with EHP 701 and ECC 6 , we have a SRM requirement where we need to transfer the attachment of a PO to back end ECC. I tried to implement the note 1594966 , but it doesn't work . we are using Extended classic scenario. Please suggest some SAP notes or the procedure to be followed to achieve this.
Thanks ,
Aishwarya.M

As far as I am aware this functionality of transferring attachment is not supported in Ext classic scneario
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1873708
Also I suggest you should debug and see if its sending attachment from SRM if yes then
could be something missing at ECC side , To debug use this
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=340264144
You may also check in SXI_monitor and see if attachment is being recieved and sent from SRM and ECC respectively
Are you configuring this for the 1 st time or its an error which u encountered?
You must raise a NOte to SAP for the same till a solution is found .
This one is another which you can check ..

Migration Date when migrating from classic to new g/l

Hello gurus,
I am planning a migration from classic to new g/l, but this fiscal year it will be not possible to finish phase 0 (from migration model plan). Is it possible to do it in the middle of the new fiscal year, what are the withdrawls or issues? what do you recommend me? What strategy can I use?
Thanks,
Silvia Guillen

Hi Silvia,
There is differnce in migration date & activation date. Migration date will always be the firts day of new fiscal year.
But as on migration date you have to bring your config changes to PRD.

Migration from Withholding Tax ( Classic ) to Extended Withholding Tax

Dear All,
I am doing the Migration from Withholding Tax ( Classic ) to Extended Withholding Tax, I am getting the following error.
I made all the customization and done the necessary process flow steps.
Now I am doing the last transaction i.e. Migration Programme ( J1INMIG )
I am getting the following error. i.e.
Health Check not carried out or health check has reported errors....
Message no. 8I775
Diagnosis
Before migration of data is carried out, it is advisable to carry out the integrity of customizing in both SAP ECC and CIN.
It appears that either the health check is not carried out, in which case it can be run using transaction j1inhc, or the health check has reported errors.
Procedure
Run health check program if not already run.
Resolve the errors reported in customizing and re run the health check.
In case you do not wish to use health check tool, manually update the field 'STATUS'as 'X' for the company code.
So I checked in Health Check ( J1INHC ). Here All are showing the Green Status.
EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING IS IN YELLOW STATUS .
34            Invoice with Payment Type tax code created in classic cannot be executed after switching to EWT.
               These documents have to be processed before switching to EWT.

I noticed that because the above documents are having the openitems and down payments. And If I clear the these documents it is becoming Green Status.
It means now my Health Check is correct, Because all are showing the Green status.
Now If I run the Migration Programme ( ( J1INMIG )
IT IS NOT EXECUTING. IT IS GIVING THE MESSAGE THAT NO DOCUMENTS FOUND.
Kindly advise I don't understand the above Migration programme execution and the error details.
Regards
Kumar

Hi All,
Nobody has not answered my issue.
Otherwise anybody can explain in detail about " MIGRATION PROGRAMME " ( J1INMIG ).
I want details about this last T.Code only i.e. J1INMIG and remaining all the necessary steps I completed.
An early reply will be highly appriciated.
Regards,
K. S. Sai Kumar

SRM PO Pricing condition from SRM to ECC -Extended Classic Sceanrio

Dear SRM experts,
We have created couple of conditions in SRM7.0 and ECC 6.0 as per requirement. When we create PO in SRM and If we add any condition in SRM PO, PO is getting transferred with netprice(including condition amount).
We would like to see conditions also in ECC which are there in SRM.
For ex:
I have created SRM PO with net price 30 and having freight amount(15) in that PO with Fregiht condition type but when it comes to ECC PO net price is changing from 30 to 45.
We would like to see net price as 30 and 15 as Fregiht condition.
Overall I can say that Is it possible to pass conditions from SRM to ECC in Extended classic scenario.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
the challenge lies in synchnizing the conditions and ensuring that price returned by IPC in SRM matches the price in the backend.
Please see thread
Pricing Conditions

Auto printing PO from SRM thru ECC in Extended Classic 5.0

We are trying to print our PO's and sent then thru Smartforms ZNEU from SRM thru the back end(ECC). This was working OK until we installed new patches on the ECC side.
The ZNEU would print the Po and sent the EDI transfer from the back end with out manual intervention. Can some one tell me how we can set this backup to sent the PO print over to the back end to print.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Generally PO Messages will be created in SRM only in ECS.
Did you do any development for this specail request to create a message in ECC ? check it up.

Migration of Transaction Data from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0

Hi
We are upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM7.0.
In our old release, many Shopping Cart woul be in the status of Approved, Awaiting Approval and Held. When the same data is migrated to the SRM 7.0 Productive system, how should we take care of the same. We would continue to use the Old Workflow (Application controlled) in SRM 7.0. However we have made changes to the Workflow steps in the new system.
Alo while moving to the new SRM 7.0 Production system, how should we manage the Transactonal Data migration overall.
The client has not agreed to close the Open SC, PO or the confirmations.
Any inputs relating to the Transactional data approach would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Raj

Hi Masa
All said and done we have lot of issues with regard to the data migration. The issues are as below:
1. The POWL doesn't reflect the old data at all in the Upgraded system. I was expecting the "Check Status" functionality to be integrated with POWL so that all the existing Shopping Cart and Purchaser Orders could be seen and the follow on actions could be taken.
2. I am not able to do a generic search on "Advanced Search". For example if I try to Search on the old Shopping Carts, until and unless I give the specific Shopping Cart number, the Search doesn't yield any output.
3. Since POWL doesn't reflect the exisitng Shopping Cart we are not able to proceed ahead with them to create the Follow On documents like Confirmation.
4. The Work Flow in the new system remains Application Controlled only. However we have added few extra steps. The existing "Awaiting Approval" Shopping Carts is not picking up the workflow correctly in the new system.
Any ideas about the same?
Regards
Raj
