New Business Process Requirement

Hi All,
I have a new business process requirement from my client.
My Client has their own product which they do normaly sell them and is called product A. Now they are planning for some new products. For this they purchase some WIP materials called product B & C from vendors and assemble them along wth product A. The assembled product which is called D is sold as finished product. this product D consists of product A and product B&C. Now in this type of scenario what should be the planning strategy? And also please let me know how to incorporate the assembling part in the present SAP system?
Thanks,
Rinky

Rinky,
What is the problem? D is just another finished goods. Is there something unique about this scenario?
D BOM = A, B, C
D assembly effort is contained in D routing, the same way you would create a routing for any other FG product.
D strategy is whatever your client wants. MTS? MTO? Forecasted? You pick the strategy the same way you would pick any other FG planning strategy.
A you need change nothing
B you need change nothing
C you need change nothing
Am I missing something here?

Hi chandu,
I will suggest you first go through the document given below
SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to implement SAP software in an organization. The SAP implementation method described in this entry is a generic method and not a specific implementation method as such. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software.

Down payment process for Poland, new business process or not ?

Hello,
I'm a little bit confused about implementation down payment process for Poland.
The OSS-notes 818079 and 1007635 describe a solution for this.
How do I have to implement the correct down payment process for Poland ? Do I have to create an extra business process with new sales order type, new billing type, separate calculation procedure, new output type and so on ?
Or is it possible to use existing business processes in sales and distribution for down payment processes ?
Thanks in advance
Holger

hi,
Check the process for down payment processing
The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from
the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the
sales order as an optional field !!!
Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

Hi,
For the above process you can map with Sub con process
Step1 ) Create BOM in plant 2000 under cocd 2000 as End product /Header Material(X) and Component/child material as E and F
Step 2) Create Sub con PO in plant 2000 under cocd 2000 with Vendor as Plant 1000 under co cd 1000
Step 3) Transfer Component/child material E and F to Vendor as Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 using 541 Movt type.
Steps 4) In Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 maintain material E and F as Non Valuated only Qty update.
Step 5) Receipt the Component/child material E and F using Movt type 501 to update stock.
Step 6) Create BOM IN Plant 2000 under co cd 2000 as End product/ Header material as X and Component/child material as A, B, C , D, E & F.
Step 7) Create sales order in Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 with customer as plant 2000 under cocd 2000
Step 8) MRP run if require to plan the material A, B, C & D.
Step 9) Procure the material A, B, C & D if stock less.
Step 10) Create Production order/ Process order for Material X.
Step 11) Confirm production order and receipt the End material (X) AGAINST Production order.
Step 12) Crete out bond delivery VL01N for Material X and Goods issue (VL02N)
Step 13) Billing VF01
Step 14) MIGO goods receipt in Plant 2000 under co cd 2000 against Sub on PO here Material E & F will consumes upon GR and end/ Header Material X will updated Stock.
Step 15) MIRO to settle Vendor Account. Hope this will helps you.

New Business Process

Hi SAP gurus !!
I need Help/inputs on the following business Process:
We are into manufacturing & selling of Diesel Locomotive Engines. These Engines & its subcomponents first we assemble at a remote place far from main Plant. once the Engine is ready, we will put this inside the plant & then sell it.
( Plz remember all subcomponents will first come to main plant then to remote place for assembling then again to main plant to use it for business.)
please help me to MAP this business process in SAP. It would be great if you can explain all the activities of SAP that is going to be used ...like.. Production, Material management then Sales process.
if you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
Warm Regards,
MAYANK

Hi there,
From the SD point of view, this is what I feel
To receive the components from other vendors, you 1st need to create a PO. When vendor fulfills the delivery for the PO, you do the GR into your main plant.
What you can do is that define 2 plants Plant A main plant & Plant B assembling plant. After you do GR into the mail plant A, then create a intra company stock transfer UB from Plant A to plant B. Delivery NL. Material type will be HALB raw materials. When the goods are assembled, they are treated as FERT finished goods. Then Plant B again does stock transfer to Plant A. When you do GR into Plant A, materials will be available in A. Post them into the required storage loc with relevant movement types.
From PLant A, to fulfill customer orders, do it in the normal order - delivery - invoice process.
I feel that this also requires integration MM & PP. I am not sure of the process they follow.
Hope this helps.

Sivanand

Hi,
Please do not forward your business requirements to the forum without you undergoing any thought process.
Forum is there to help you,but not to take decisions for you.

Step 1: Finding An Answer
Rule number one: Try to find the answer first. There are tons of resources out there, show that you have tried to find the answer. <b><i>A question that shows that the person is willing to try and help themselves is more likely to be answered than one which simply demands information. Tell us what you have done to try and solve the problem yourself - often we can learn from that too!</i></b>
Search the forums, the articles, the blog posts and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) in the Wiki for your topic.

I am finding that a new business is requiring lots of files, photos and video and it seems to be slowing down my older imac. I am wondering if a 1TB mini can be used as a dedicated machine to house these files only and if I can simply keep all biz files

Will a 1TB mac mini be a good solution to separate media rich biz files from personal home type files and will the uSB3 be a problem connecting to an older 1mac?

A USB3 drive can connect to an older iMac by simply substituting a USB2 drive cable. Or enabling File Sharing between machines.
There are organizational and legal reasons why you want personal and business content separate. Since you mention USB3, may I infer you are looking at the late 2012 Mac mini? It has four, USB3 ports.
I would purchase three, identical external USB3 drives and configure two of them in a RAID 1 (mirror) configuration. This means that data that is written to drive 1, is simultaneously duplicated (mirrored) to drive 2. Drive 3 would be an additional fail-safe backup drive. Using Time Machine, back up drive 2 to drive 3. If you turn off the Mac mini at night, put drive 3 in a fireproof safe until morning when you reattach it to the mini. Rotate the USB3 port that you use for drive 3 to reduce wear.

Dear,
Try defining by this way ...
In material master:
Sales UOM = PCs. (Master Data->Sales Data Tab->Sales UOM) ; Inventory UOM = PCs. (Master Data->Stock Data Tab->Stock UOM).
If you want for purchases you can define at Master Data->Purchase Data Tab->Purchasing UOM.
Maintain the correct conversions for the materials.

Business Process Monitoring via MAI

Hi Experts,
Currently I am exploring the new Business Process Monitoring via MAI (Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure).
I have setup monitoring objects and I am getting the required alerts.
Need your help for following questions:
1. What is the configuration required to send data to BW? For Classic Business Proces monitoring we select 'Keep Data in BW' under Alert Reorganizations. Is there any such configuration in case of BPMon via MAI ?
2. In which cube is the alert data saved in case of BPMon via MAI ? (For Classic BPMon it is 0SM_BPM)
3. Is there any configuration guide available for BPMon via MAI ? I have already referred to the presentations on the same.
Please help me to get the answers.
Best Regards,
Kavita

Hi Keiji,
As always, your answers have helped us. Thank you for the quick response. Can you help me with the name of the table where BPMon MAI alerts are stored (just like we have DSWP_BPM_ALERTS for classic BPMon alerts. I have searched this table but could not find the BPMon MAI specific alerts.
FYI, BPMon MAI is configured and is working fine and I am able to see the MAI alerts for the configured Monitoring Objects.
Thanks again for the information provided.

BUSINESS PROCESS FLOW (BPF) TASK SETUP - CURRENT VIEW OPTIONS

This article explains a few findings regarding the options on Current View Type for setting up Business Process Flow tasks and will discuss BPC for Excel, Data Manager and BPC Web tasks.
Future posts will cover more tasks.
This is valid for 5.x versions only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DATA MANAGER PACKAGES
    Data Manager Packages tasks such as Run Specific Package, Run User Package are not integrated
    with the Current View Type selection. Therefore, the options Inherit from Data Region, Inherit from
    Current View or Member Lookup does not work on Data Manager Packages. This is due to the diversity of Data Manager Packages, such as Import, Export, Clear, Default Formulas, each of them requiring a complete different set of parameters, some of them not related to the Current View.
1. INHERIT FROM DATA REGION
Once you choose to Open a BPF from BPC for Excel, you are prompted to choose the Data
Region. Upon setting the desired Data Region, the Current View is changed
accordingly on BPC Web.
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library
    and INHERIT FROM DATA REGION is set to one (or more) of the Data Region
    dimensions, the Current View on BPC for Excel should change to match
    the settings done Data Region settings, being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
2. INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and INHERIT FROM
    CURRENT VIEW is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will pickup the Current View
    from BPC Web and BPC for Excel should change to match the Current View,
    being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW setup (ENTITY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for ENTITY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The ENTITY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
3. MEMBER LOOKUP
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and MEMBER LOOKUP
    is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will set the Current View
    on BPC for Excel to the member that was configured.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       MEMBER LOOKUP setup (CATEGORY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for CATEGORY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The CATEGORY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on the Task configuration, in other words, there should be BUDGET set
        on the Current View.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.

Adding A Business Process To SolMan

Hi,
I've just upgraded our Solman system to EHP1 SPS22 and I'm now looking at business process monitoring.
From documentation I've seen you go into DSWP and select your solution and away you go, I've also seen mention of transactions solar01/02. I seem to be missing something here as our defined solutions don't already have business processes defined and I'm being a bit lame as I can't seem to see how you would add a new business process in.
Does anyone have any experience in doing this and is able to coomunicate process in a step by step guide to get us up and running?
Thanks.

Hi Spencer,
as you probably heard here and ther the SAP Solution Manager supports the whole lifecycle of a business process. Hence there are especially two logical parts
a) the project and business blueprint part which you access with your mentioned transactions SOLAR01/02
b) the operations part where you have a similar but nevertheless separate directory the so called Solution Directory that you can access via DSWP > Solution Landscape > Solution Landscape Maintenance or via the "Business Process Operations" Work Center.
In both directories you can maintain business processes from scratch or use the Business Process Repository or another Project or another Solution as source.
What you require for using Business Process Monitoring is that business processes are maintained in the Solution Directory. If so far you processes are only maintained in SOLAR01/02 then you can copy them into the Solution Directory.
You should find corresponding iTutors under http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
You can also have a look into http://service.sap.com/bpm > Media Library > Technical Information for different technical papers explaining on how to setup BPMon.
Perhaps you also want to visit the FAQ page http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQBusinessProcess+Monitoring
Best Regards
Volker

Is it possible for the end user to make changes to business processes?

Hi
I'm investigating Oracle's BPEL Processor Manager and BPM technologies for a large project we are going to do. The client wants to be able to change/create new business processes which would mean different web services being called in different orders after different amounts of time.
Is it possible to allow end users to change business processes in a SOA environment with a portal using Oracle's offerings. This would eliminate JDeveloper & the designer and the need for knowledge of the underlying architecture.
The only way around this would be getting users to edit the business rules but that would only work in a linear environment with lots of decisions won't it?
Regards
Sean

I will leave your real question to be answered by product folks.
BPEL does have capabilities that let you change how a given process will execute. For example, it's normal to have a process that will react differently depending on an incoming message (CancelMessage processes one way, SubscribeMessage does something else, ...). You can have the partnerlink that is invoked be selected based on a variable, a rule, a message element, a property in a property file or a preference set in the BPEL console. However, these all fail to answer your original question, because they require the original designer to code it all, not giving someone the capability to add a new WSDL on the fly with JDeveloper.
You can also overlay endpoints, like if the user is in California, send to the west-coast server instead of the east coast. There is (was?) a tutorial about overlaying WSDLs.
