MPN material functionality in SAP

Hi,
We are using MPN material functions in SAP MM. We have created MPN material with material type HERS and assigned internal material also in that MPN material master. created Manufacturer using Account Group MNFR.
Created AMPL using transaction MP01 with different MPN material and different manufaturer. In ME21N, if we enter MPN material, it is picking up the internal material automatically and everything working fine.
Normally we enter MPN material in ME21N and system will pick up the Internal actual material. But we have requirement that, if user enter internal material, then they would like see, what are the MPN material is assigned for that internal material and who is the manufacturer for that. They would like see that list should show up in ME21N after they enter the internal material number.
Is that possible? if possible please explain that.

You can use the following approach.
There is F4 help available. The place where you key in material in purchase order that is material number click F4 and slect the option "search help for manufacture part number with AMPL". Key in your internal material number it will give you the MPN number , manufacture and validity maintained in the AMPL.

MPN material check during PO

Hi Gurus,
We are procuring same material from two different vendors for two different plants with same manufacturer. Internal material number is assigned with manufacturer part profile and manufacturer part no in the material master. I have created the MPN material and assigned it to my internal material number in the AMPL list and same MPN material is assigned to different vendors with different plants.
To do the negative test, if I create a PO for the MPN material with a vendor who is not assigned in the AMPL list , I am not getting any error. I have activated 'AMPL management" in my manufacturer part profile.
What did I wrong?
Appreciate your reply.
SS

Hi
I have debugged the function with my ABAP person, it seems that the system is never checking the vendor or manufacturer in the AMPL table(MP01) instead it only checks the MPN material relation to the internal material.
The only check in the PO is when you enter the internal material number, system will give you error saying enter your MPN material number which is inturn linked with your source list as we have mentioned MPN material number in the source list and marked the vendor as fixed source.
But I could manually create a PO with MPN material number and different vendor and the system is giving a warning message "different source of supply is the fixed source for this date" (Message 06 727) but it will be a total violation of AMPL concept.
Have you guys ever tested this functionality with other vendors and got the error?
Thanks,
SS

Any Long Material constraint in SAP?

Hi,
Presently SAP allows for 18 characters for Material Number but we can extend it up to 40 characters with ABAP customization help.
I want to know about the impact ,if we extend it to 256 characters, which other PLM softwares in market allows by default.
What is the constraint in architectural design of SAP that stops it from providing default Long Material functionality?
Also, what is the impact of 40 character Material number on other SAP ERP modules like SD,FICO where this martial reference will be used?
Thanks
Avinash

Hi ,
Yes ,we can have 40 characters but needs some ABAP work.
In SAP PLM V7,it will be added to IMG screen to enable functionality.
But i want to know know it's impact on SAP architecture.

Maintain MARM entries for MPN material

Dear All,
We have a requirement of maintaining the Alt. UOM for the MPN material in the MARM table by deleteing the existing entries & overwrite the UOM from Parent material through LSMW. But the issue is basic data view is not supported in the MPN material, so we are not able to add or delete the MARM entries for MPN material
Has someone come across this issue earlier, or if someone can suggest any clue would be quite helpful.

Pankaj

Delta functionality between SAP 4.7 and ECC 6

Hi All,
Can anyone please provide me with any documents or links on delta functionality between SAP 4.7 and ECC 6.0 in MM/WM.
Any information would be helpful.
Regards
Prashant

Hello
Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
Goods receipt
Goods issue
Transfer posting
Remove from storage
u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
Requirement prioritizations in materials management
u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
Mass maintenance of outline agreements
The following two transactions available:
u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
Commitment plan for purchase contracts
u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
Prepayment of invoices
This functionality is characterized as follows:
u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
Parking service items
It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
u2022 This Report is available with "Non-Hierarchy" display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location.

How can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions?

Hi Mike !
You should check your documentation about which java classes you need to reference in the "import" section of your UDF. And also deploy the java classes into the java stack or include them as a imported archive in integration repository...it should be stated in the seeburger documentation.

Material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One is blocked

Hello experts,
Please I need your help for the following scenario:
Our client has B1iSN and SAP R/3 in the headquarter company and B1if and SAP B1 in the subsidiary. The material transfer from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One failed and the following message is diplayed:
Result message :
com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor.BizProcException: BPE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: com.sap.b1i.xcellerator.XcelleratorException: XCE001 Nested exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: DI Error: (-2028) No matching records found (ODBC -2028)
The Material database transfer is blocked due to message in status
failure which block all other messages.
We tried to restart the server (Business One and B1iSN) but it didnu2019t solve the issue.
Any idea please? Thank you.

Hi Nadia,
did you check the WRITE-POLICY settings of your scenario?
when reading the displayed DI Error message, it looks like B1iSN is trying to update an B1 item which does not exists.
Please open SAP B1iSN Tools -> Development Tools -> Graphical scenario Design and select your Bizpackage, BizStep and BIUMETA.
Open the WRITE-POLICY symbol and check the entries:
Insert on Exist = error or fallback2U
Update on Miss = fallback2I
The Update Policy should stay to value regular.
To activate changes of the WRITE-POLICY please deactivate, modify and reactivate your Business Process instance.
If a WRITE-POLICY change has no effect, please check your data mapping (BIU) and especially the parameter <QueryParams>, which mustn't be filled for "insert/Add" operations into B1.
Best regards
Bastian

Importance of Bounce management functionality in SAP CRM

Hi All,
I want to discuss few interesting issues which I have come a cross while doing a setting for bounce management functionality in SAP CRM 7.0
Before sharing my experience I want to discuss some term related to Bounce email than will discuss about types of bounce emails and cause of the bounce email.The setting of bounce functionality is describing in below link .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/en/46/3f509215835fa7e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In general when a website visitor sigh up they receive email from the company site, the information the site collected saved in the database but It commonly happen some of your email will be undeliever. In marketing term we say it as 'Bounce'. this is the same way happen as when a person give a bank cheque to bank and don't have sufficient money to his/her account the bank people say the cheque got bounce ..
As we are aware emails are bounce for variety of reason such as.
     - In case the recipient email address is invalid.
     - recipient email address is inactive or closed
     - recipient mailbox is full or mail server have some technical issue etc
In general all these bounces emails categorize in two category.
Hard bounce- When email address is not active. example wrong email address, email address de-activated, deleted,or closed
Soft bounce- recipient mailbox is full, mail server have some technical issue, Out_of_office is setup .
Now finally we come to know about the cause of bounce email and types. Now the question arises why this is so important when we have bounce management functionality active in sap crm marketing ? as described in above url.
suppose that there is a campaigning happening for an product where 3000 person visited it. Now incase 2000 visitors shown interest so have qualified as prospect bases on the information they have provided such as name, address, salary or employment detail.
After successfully execution of campaign now senior executives create a mailing list for all the prospects in the target group of campaign and sends email to all the users.Now if I say to how many customers really company have reached reached after campaign execution answer will be we can not have the correct fact and figure as there could be some bounce happened.
Now incase bounce management setting is configure in your CRM system than system will receive inbound e-mails for each bounce.Suppose we have received one thousand bounce emails than we would say actual customer contacted is 1000. this is the correct fact and figure and very much useful for marketing people.
After than executive could remove email address which were hard bounced and for soft bounce they can use some other channel to contact like telephone calls etc to reach them.
The correct facts and figures are very much important for marketing strategy and planning and also to know success level of each campaign. Assume a scnario where in day a company launches more than 5 campaign. I feel the importace is transparent now.
I hope you would find some interest in above blog.
Thanks

E-mail functionality in SAP BO X1 3.1

Hi All,
I have few questions regarding the E-mail functionality in SAP BO X1 3.1
1)Is there a limitation on size of report in Email within the SAP BO X1 3.1?
2)Can you zip reports within SAP BO X1 3.1 ?file type options(?)
3)Is there an Impact on performance front end/back end if many users are mailing the reports using SAP BO X1 3.1?
4)How can we restrict users to only email the public folder Reports?
5)Only people with Scheduling have access to Email Functionality - Are there any other ways we can place restrictions around this?
Please help in this regard
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Pavithra P

Hi Pavithra,
We can send a report instance (after schedulling) to an email address and not the actual report.
Adaptive Job Server (Web Intelligence Scheduling and Publishing Service) is used to generate the instance and Destination Job Server is used to deliver that instance to the email address.
If multiple users are expected to send instances to email concurrently then we could have multiple instances of Destination Job Server.
As far as I am aware, there is no direct way to zip reports.
If I am not wrong, the size of attachment would depend on the limitations set at Mail Servers. Your network administrator might help you on this.
Hope this will help.

Yuvraj

Bank chain functionality in SAP

Hi,
If anyone has knowledge as to how to use bank chain functionality in SAP for vendor payment in SAP. Please let me know I will get in touch with more details for my query. This is required when we are making payments to a vendor and there are some intermediary banks involved between our bank and vendors bank. The tcode for setting up bank chain is FIBPU
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
Mainly this bank chain is used for giving payments to foreign vendors. Normally house bank will finalise via which bank the payment should be made. But using this bank chain, you can specify this.
Configuration:
Create a scenario in IMG under bank chains.
Here you can maintain your search criteria. If you select Gen.Search (General Search), you should use IMG activity Create General Bank Chain. After maintain this, you need to activate your chain in IMG Activity.
Then in Easy Access, you can maintain Master data for Bank Chains under Bank accounting. Note, you can define upto 3 intermediary banks for a bank chain.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Krishna..
