MR11 - adapting to automate writebacks?

Currently we writeback GRNI balances after 9 months using MIRO.
We set the invoice value to 0 and post to a clearing account. This seems an incredibly inefficient work around and wastes many man hours at month end.
Looking around it strikes me that is is possible to use MR11 to automate the process? I have never used the transaction and wonder as to whether anyone else uses it for similar.
Would it be easy to set up? are there any obvious problems with the notion?

Hi,
Don't worry about being confused, it is a very confusing area.
In fact if you are not confused then you are not listening
If we step back a bit.
When a GR is posted it posts the value due to the vendor in the GR/IR clearing account and the opposing entry is posted to stock (or consumption depending on the situation).
Then when the invoice is posted this balances out the entyr and all is zero.
If the invoice did not come in and we now know that it will not come in then we have the goods free of charge (effectively) and so the stock (or consumption account) has to be corrected. So MR11 does this, it will try to reduce the stock value (if there is currently any value to reduce and if the material is MAP controlled) or it will correct the posting to the consumption account.
You do not (nor should you) have the possibility of posting this to any other accounts.
You would have to devise a work around somehow, the system needs to post in this way to balance everything correctly. (the stock in this example WAS free, officially)
I can understand the reasons why you might want to do it another way but that is not the standard "best practice" SAP way.

Can I use my mac book pro with 120 volt and 240 volt power supplies? Does the power converter automatically switch, so I just need a different adapter plug?

I got my mac book pro in the U.S., but I will be travelling to where there is 240 volt power. Does the mag safe power adapter switch automatically, so I just need a converter plug, or do I need a transformer to convert from 240 to 120 volts? Thanks.

Hi,
I too bought my Macbook Pro in the US and I live in the UK (its so much cheaper in the US! No 20% VAT!)
The power adapter does work on UK 230v power. You can also get a three pin extension lead (like the 2 pin US one that came with the MBP) for about £3 with free delivery from Amazon UK.
Another tip, whne you are back in the UK, and you are switching from a PC to a Mac, get in touch with your local Apple Shop who run one to one free courses on how to use your MBP.
Hope This Helps!!

Automatic restart of Error-Message in Adapter-Engine (Job?)

Hi,
we are working on PI 7.11 and facing following problem:
Often in message-monitoring error-messages are forgotten because of wrong date-selections by the monitorer (not enough days back). It would be very nice, if there is a function witch is repeating error-messages in adapter-engine automaticly and witch can be scheduled.
Does anybody know something about an excisting program / function on PI?
Regards
Jürg

Hi,
By default if any failure occurs in adapter engine (in case of receiver,during delivery to target system)
it will retry 3 times after a period interval of 5 minutes..this is by default even this can be change if needed with the help of the proeprties at NWA/VA...
but in case of failures at IE level (mappings,...) then you need to schedule the report RSXMB_RESTART_MESSAGES....
search SDN if like to know more about the reports...

File Adapter Getting Stopped

Hi All,
File Adapter (Sender,FTP) polling is geting stopped automatically.
This happens after 10-12hrs.
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Is there any possibility that FTP adapter will automatically stop polling, if no file is available in the FTP site for a very long time ?
In my case the polling interval is 10sec.

Adapter module in PI 7.1 EhP1 for Falt File Idoc to Idoc xml transformation

Hi Experts,
In PI 7.1 (EhP1) there is a java adapter module that can be added to the file adapter that automatically transforms Flat File representation of IDoc to IDoc XML. Can anyone provide the link to this particular module? Tried searching but could not get the specific module name or parameters.
The same conversion can be achieved using a standard SAP provided ABAP mapping but we need to use the module in this case.
Thanks and regards,
Shiladitya

J2SE Adapter Monitoring

Hi
Is there any way of activating native monitoring from within the J2SE Adapter engine? How do we monitor errors on the J2SE Adapter engine automatically?
Can it notify us automatically if an error occurs?
Thanks!

Hi Riaz,
>>>I would like specific alerts based on the type of error on the adapter to be sent to recipients in a mail distribution list for instance.
You can call SALERT_CREATE RFC from the Java adapter module and raise alerts based on the error.

Disable automatic Bluetooth reconnect?

Hello all,
After upgrading to Mavericks, I've noticed a slightly annoying behavior that was not present in Mountain Lion: my computers automatically connect to nearby paired Bluetooth devices, namely my Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter. Because I use this speaker adapter with many devices (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet), I tend to keep it disconnected until I want to use it, since any number of my devices may be powered on when I'm using it. As such, it's annoying to have to disconnect the speaker adapter every time I use my laptop or desktop. Moreover, when they connect to the speaker adapter, they automatically change my default audio output, which is also undesired behavior.
I've looked around in Bluetooth preferences, but cannot find a setting that would disable this behavior.
The only workaround I've found is to unpair the device whenever I'm done using it, which is far from ideal.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

How about turning Bluetooth off on your Mac?
I suppose that would be possible on the laptop, but I wouldn't be able to do it on the desktop, since I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad.

QUALIFIED RANGE MAPPING/PI-MDM CONFIGURATION FOR AUTOMATIC SYNDICATION

Hi Experts,
I am setting up automatic import and syndication using an xml schema to a qualified lookup, will this be able to work? I made tuple to work but not with a qualified lookup even the mappings are all corrent, the import doesnt work.
We are using the MDM-PI Adapter instead of the File Adapter to automatically syndicate, Is it possible to create multiple channel? As when we configure the message starts to branch to the other channel since they have existing mapping but different remote port. Other port was configured as Manual while the new one was automatically to syndicate? Is there a workaround to this?
Many thanks!

Hi Elizabeth,
This is true that it uses only Numeric values while defining Qualified Range using Remote System of MDM Console.
But it doesn't allows to key the remote system details all alone for the internal number range as its using a qualified range.
I didn't get you exactly here, if you mean that you want to syndicate records on the basis of account number and want to generate customer number which is numeric then its possible. For this the Qualified field which is look-up to some sub-table, for this sub-table Key mapping Property should also be Yes.
Please refer step by step guide to make use of qualified range:

No Source Directory on Sender FTP Adapter

Hi Guys,
I am using a sender adapter to poll an external FTP Server. The adapter is able to see the server fine.
My problem lies in this:
The company in charge of the FTP server has put a restriction disallowing the 'cd' command on the ftp server. Now in the sender ftp adapter, the source directory is a mandatory field and therefore if nothing else, I need to put a '.' into the source directory.
This in effect will do a cd . when it logins into the ftp server. It is here that I get an error because command cd is disallowed.
Does anyone know how I can prevent the sender ftp adapter from automatically doing a cd command i.e. have no source directory?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi,
I think it is not possible with file adapter .
Have a look into this SAP note -821267 Question no 27,34.
It may give some inputs

JMS adapter webspehere mq, network failure - stop

Hello,
After a network failure the JMS sender adapter (JMS --> XI) goes red, and doesn't automatically recover after a network failure. It is necessary to manually stop and start the adapter. This is bad design from SAP. You would like it to behave like the ftp adapter which automatically continues to poll for files after a network outage.
What can be done to overcome this bad design?
I'm on XI SP 18.
My Idea is to use the new AAM described in
SAP Note 766332
1. com.sap.aii.af.service.administration.cpa: Channel-related interfaces and APIs
2. com.sap.aii.af.service.administration.monitoring: Monitoring interfaces and APIs
3. com.sap.aii.af.service.administration.i18n: Localization interfaces and APIs
I would like to write a standard j2se application to connect using jndi to list the status of the channels, and then stop and start depending on status.
Which jar files should be included?
Example code?

Hello,
I have now built a workaround solution based on the AAM API.
It is implemented as a J2EE stateless session bean and a J2EE client. The client reads config with information about which channels to restart and calls the bean which checks status on the channels and restarts the ones with errors or in a stopped state. We schedult the program to run every 5 minutes and check the status.
Check the channelstatus.jsp for hints on how to use the api.
It's a pity SAP hasn't got this functionality builtin, it's clearly a design error.

OVD Adapter Configuration

We have created two different OU using LDAP adapters for two separate AD’s and configured under one Tree Top adapter in OVD. In user profile we have a user attribute email which is common in both the OU’s. As a requirement, we want to populate the user attribute from one OU to a custom OVD attribute in another OU based upon the common attribute email

Hey,
Did you try Shadow Joiner? The Shadow Joiner works by encoding all primary adapter DN's into a hash that can be used to locate the joined entry in the joined adapter without needing to perform a search. When the Shadow Joiner fails to locate a corresponding record in the Join View adapter, it automatically creates a new one, storing designated attributes in the joined adapter. As much as possible, the Shadow Joiner operates transparently to the application, taking care of creating and renaming entries in sync with that of the primary adapter.
I hope this helps.

OVD - Suppress OU's in Adapter

Hello,
I have a requirement to suppress a series of OU's in an LDAP Adapter.
I am federating two separate Active Directories in which one is a subset of the other.
I want my final federated OVD LDAP to look like this:
dc=federated,dc=com
+ Root
+ + OU=Users
+ + OU=Groups
LDAP 1 (PRIMARY) - has ALL of the User Accounts
dc=primary,dc=com
+ Root
+ + OU=Active
My adapter for this one has its namespace set to a self defined Users OU (e.g OU=Users,dc=example,dc=com)
LDAP 2 (SECONDARY) - has a subset of users and the groups I am interested in
dc=secondary,dc=com
+ Root
+ + OU=Users
+ + OU=Groups
+ + OU=UnwantedOU1
+ + OU=UnwantedOU2
Essentially, I only need the Groups from this adapter and my first attempt was to set the source to the Groups OU. However, this was unsuccessful, because the members attribute was populated with the RDN of the source (secondary.com) LDAP not the federated namespace (federated.com). There was no conversion because the Users OU was not included in the Source. So, I changed the secondary to pull in from the root and put the members attribute in the DN box on the general tab and the members attribute was now correct.
I then created a Join Adapter between the primary and the secondary which federated the users under the Users OU in the new federated namespace. It all works correctly, I used the membersOf attribute from the Secondary and suppressed it on the primary and everything is mapped.
My issue now is that since I had to set up the secondary from the root, I now have OU's in the federated LDAP that have to be removed/suppressed due to security reasons. Is there any plugin or method that can be utilized that will get rid of the UnwantedOU1 and UnwantedOU2 from either the secondary adapter or the Join Adapter.

Using an X40 AC adapter with 220 volts/50Hz

Hi:
Can someone verify that the AC adapter for an X40 that we purchased in Canada can be used at 220 volts in South America.
It says: Input: 100-240v;1.5A 50-60 Hz
I'd sure hate to damage the laptop.
Many thanks

Lenovo and IBM have supplied the 100 V to 240 V adapter that automatically varies the voltage. So you can use it in South America.

IPOD Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

I have the IPOD Bluetooth Wireless Model RF-MBT30 Rocket Fish adapter and a Rocketfish RF-QX3 Ear PIece. According the Best Buy salesman these two should work together with my IPOD Nano 3rd generation. So far I have been able to get them to find each other. Any suggestions?

It says the adapter should automatically find the bluetooth headpiece. The headpiece is going through its request like it is trying to pair with a phone. It wants a code, but there is no way to enter a code from the IPOD. Janet

Clearing the GR/IR - for experts !

Hello,
We have a problem in clearing the GR/IR
The scenario is this:
We entered a PO with invoice based GR and posted good receipt,
Then we changed the valuation class of the material.
In the new valuation class the GR/IR GL is different from the one poseted in the good reciept.
After changing the valuation class we posted the invoice, this created
a situation where the good receipt is on one GL and the invoice is on another.
In MR11 we cannot automatically clear these lines.
The lines are not shown.
And we cannot clear these lines manually because they are GR/IR accounts.
and we cannot cancel the invoices because they are already payed. and the posting a a few years ago...
Have you got any idea of how to get rid of those lines?
Thanks,
Shachar

Hi,
to close this issue change valuation class to earlier one and carry out transaction and after closing this matter change to new one.
in future before doing any changes in valuation class follow the following
If you want to change the valuation class, there may be because of one or more of the following already exist for the material:
1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.
2) Open purchase orders may be there.
3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.
For this first you have to do the following:
If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:
a) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
b) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
c) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted
