Mm process flow
hi
will any body give a complete life cycle flow of material management module or product life cycle management of mm module

<b>MM Process flow:</b>
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

Cannot deploy process flow package specification from file
Hi,
we are using owb 11gr2 on linux. We successfully managed to deploy mappings and tables into a specification file, and then deploy from that file into the target database (RAC). But when we try to deploy a process flow package we run into an error:
A process flow package can be deployed to a specification file. But a deployment from that specification file fails with the error: " OMB05623: Cannot deploy specification from file. Exception follows. nulll"

We get the error regardless whether the code is executed as an expert or on the command line at a windows client.
Does anyone knows a workaround?
Deployment via a specification file is a must due to license and architecture requirements.
Thanks,
Carsten.Its woked fine for me for OWB 10.2.0.4 .... some steps are missing from code like
when you are connecting again it should be
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RT
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCC '/KLINGEL_DWH'
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RTI think you can try the same on different system .

A/R process flow with notice of readiness for shipment
Hi,
I'm trying to implement the following A/R process flow:
- sales order
- xx% A/R down payment invoice
- notice of readiness for shipment
- incoming payment
- delivery
- A/R invoice (xx% down payment to be deducted here)
What's the best way to implement it?
Thanks
FabioHi,
no, it's something different. It is because we want to be paid before shipping anything.
In more detail:
- we request a certain amount of down payment after the order and before starting production
- we request final payment before we deliver goods
Thanks
Fabio -
MM Gurus , Can any one help me to provide me with the MM PO and Change PO process flow diagram .Pl send me the diagram or links to my email ID
Thanks in advance .Will give you points

[email protected]Dear James,
Process Flow:
1)Determination of Requirements: Through MRP, purchase requisitions
2)Source Determination: helps you identify potential sources of supply, creating requests for quotation (RFQs
3) Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations: The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios
4) Purchase Order Processing: information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. scheduling agreements and contracts are also supported.
5) Purchase Order Follow-Up: The system checks the reminder periods you have specified. up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6) Goods Receiving and Inventory Management: Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number
7) Invoice Verification: The system supports the checking and matching of invoices, and clearing invoices for payment.
Flow Chart for PO & MM process :
RFQ (ME 41) --> Maintain Quotation ( ME 47) -> Price comparision ( ME 49)>
-->Create PR ( ME 51 N) --> Create PO ( ME 21N) --->
> Good Receipt wrt PO( MIGO)> Invoice Verification wrt PO ( MIRO)
I hope this will suffice your need & if satisfied please reward points,

To check whether a process flow is valid or not
Hi,
I want to check whether a OWB process flow is valid or not inside a PL/SQL block. Can anyone let me know about any repository table or view where I can check the process flow status.
Regards,
PouloseUse display schedule job option from the context menu of the start variant of the process chain.
When u chick this.. u will get the available job on this start process.. There u can see whether the process chain in schedule mode or not?
If u can see multiple schedule then u can delete the older ones which are not needed and then u can maintain only one schedule job.
If u click twice.. then there are chances that u might end up with the 2 schedule job with the same time frame.. .. so check the same with the steps mentioned..... if u find two jobs then u need to delete one.. if not there might be chance that ur PC might get trigger twice.. and one trigger will gets failed. and the other one will gets executed..
Thanks
I hope this is clear to u..

When a process flow activity takes a long time to run.
Hello,
I have a process flow activity that sometimes takes a long time to run so that the process flow never ends. Is it possible that I can set the activity so that during a certain time that this has not been executed automatically flow process to continue?
I'm Using Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g on Windows Server 2003 R1.
Greetings and thanks.What I've done in the past is just use a small polling procedure (PL/SQL) and a conditional transition in the process flow, depending on what the proc returns (Continue or Fail) then the flow of control in the Process is changed.
I think the key also is to not have too much paralellism going on too, that way it's easy to streamline the PF and remove slow moving processes to a more linear path (stopping bottle necks on your logical AND).

Can I change a process flow at run time??
Hello everybody,
I work in Oracle BPMS 11.1.1.5. I need to change a process flow at run time due to changes in the business logic, I mean add, delete and modify tasks, navigation flow, etc. I know business rules can be modified using Oracle BPM Composer, but I couldn't find the way to modify the process flow. I have seen other BPMS, like BizAgi, for ex. that can do that. Do Oracle BPMS have that functionality? Please I need it a lot!!!!
Regards and thanks in advance,
isabelbernelyHi
As JonPetter mentioned, you can get this and preferably get only from Support. I hope you have some license if you going to prod with this. Use that and if possible talk to your sales guy and create a support account. Then request the feature pack. The thing is, if we put it in some public shared location, it is the violation of using the oracle product. Unless someone takes risks they may upload but still its not advisable.
Sorry

Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)
I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
From Here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.Hi,
Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

A/c determination process flows automaticaly to the exact plant wise
Dear All,
Pls explain the process abt a/c determination for service po's (with item catelory & a/c assign) during miro.
For example. I have three plants and same tax codes used for all plants. I have defined in FS00 different G/L number for every plant as per below,
For plant #1 - ESA - 101, ESE - 102, VSE -103
For Plant #2 - ESA- 201, ESE-202, VSE-203
For Plant #3 - ESA- 301, ESE-302, VSE-303
And assume gl is assigned in OB40 (w/o tax code combination) as,
ESA-101 , ESE - 202 , VSE -303 .
While doing miro for what ever plant, it's going and set on appropriate plant g/l nbrs based on trns. key. pls tell me how a/c determination process flows automaticaly to the exact plant wise.no answer

Error in using External Process in the Process Flow
I Created a Process Flow with an external process to Move the file from one location to another location,
I gave the below parameters for the External Process
COMMAND: move
PARAMETER_LIST: ?F:\\FlatFiles\\in\\company.txt?F:\\FlatFiles\\error\\company.err
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
The environment is
Windows 2003
OWB 9.2.0.8
OWF Builder 2.6
When I deploy and execute using Deployment Manager, it gave me the below error
Starting Execution TEST
Starting Task TEST
Starting Task TEST:EXTERNALPROCESS
CreateProcess: move move F:\FlatFiles\in\company.txt F:\FlatFiles\error\company.err error=2
Completing Task TEST:EXTERNALPROCESS

What am I missing something here?
Is my Parameters correct?
GIve me the link where I can find more on using External process.
Please...please...help me..
ShreeNikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.
