Open Process Orders take-over when going-live

Hello PP People
Does anyone have any experience/recommendation about the transition/take-over of open process orders from a legacy system to SAP when going live ?
These process orders are started in the legacy system and should arrive in a partially confirmed (hours/consumptions) status in the SAP system at go-live. How is this generally tackled from a CO point of view ?
Any hints on this could be helpfull
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
The method adopted depends on the business requirements. There are quite many options which can be adopted. So first thing i would say is get a clear business requirement what business expects from this migration.
Some of the options could be
1. Close all orders in the legacy system & create new orders in the SAP system & post back the confirmations, post goods movement as per the legacy system.
2. Create a material per order carrying the cost (WIP value) as per the legacy system, assign this component in the component list & post this mateiral to the order, thereby the WIP vlaue will be acrrued to the order.
3. Ask your FI-CO personnel to post the WIP value to the order from FI side.
There could be many more approaches, the choice depends purely on business needs. Hope the above gave you some guideline.
Regards,
Vivek

Error for open process order when BOM alternative is not found

Dear colleagues,
When I open process order. BOM alternative is selected according to the production version. But when BOM alternative is not found system gives only information message and I can open process order, I want to prevent open process order when there is no BOM alternative according to the production version. Because the Bom can be deleted after creation production version.
Thanks for your helping,

Hi,
U need to use an enhancement at the creation of order to check the active status of the bom and restricting the order creation when BOM status is inactive.
see whether following enhancement is useful for your scenario:
PPCO0006 Enhancement & EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003
Please confirm.

Uploading of Open Process orders

Hi,
I have a requirement in my project to upload the Open Process orders with the legacy number range. Please let me know how this is possible .
Regards
Sudhakar

Hello,
You can define a new "Process Order Type" with external number range specifically for Go-Live, to have open legacy orders into SAP. This will be used only during Cut-over i.e. initial open orders upload ONLY.
Whereas you can LSMW or Standard BAPI to populate process orders in SAP.
Hope this will help.

Report for open process orders

Dear SAP experts,
As the period of the process order from open to close is not short, will take 1 or 2 months in our business case, so we want to find a report which can get the information just like the output of KSPP(for planned orders) .
I tried to analysis the logic of program KSPP, and it seems the function modules based on the planned orders only.
Is there any way to get the similar report for open process orders?
Many Thanks,
Lisa Yao

Is there any clues?

Orders take over a minute to open

Wondering if anyone is having this problem?
Basically when opening orders if the value of the order is above say £200 then the order takes a long time to open - we are talking at least a minute for smaller orders and a LOT more than that for orders of several hundred pounds.
I have submitted this to the Support team over 5 weeks ago - no reply (it was escalated to 2nd level but no reply from them).

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Single process order spanning over multiple days...

Hi All -
My scenario is as follows:
I have a semi FG C going into multiple FGs A and B.
Receipts for A and B create dependent requirements for C on different days of a week. It would always be 2 continous days, Monday-tues or Tue-Wed and so on.
My lot size period type is "Days - 1." So when I run PPDS heuristic, the system creates 2 planned orders to cover the 2 different dependent requirements since my period bucket is days - 1.
We would want only 1 planned order for semi FG C which spans over 2 days of the week. To achieve this, what I did is change the lot size period type to Week-1 ( with period factor 1) which would create a single process order on the last day of the week and have the scheduler move the order and align it with the receipt of the FIRST planned order( for A or B).
Is there anyway we can let the system do this for us? Again the requirements can be on Day 1-2,2-3,3-4,4-5 etc...but what we would like is based on when the multiple requirements are, the system create the planned order for C on the day of the requirement of the first receipt( be it A or B).
IF Dep Reqs are on day 2-3, the planned order for C is needed on day 2. If the dep reqs are on 4-5, the planned order for C should be on day 4.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Also, is there any function in the DS planning board to "Merge" 2 orders?
Varun

Hi
Changing to weekly lot size is the best option. It seems your problem is that the process order should get over (end date) before the first requirement. In such a case, you should also maintain a rounding value/fixed lot size in material C. Then process order will be created before the order of A or B (The first of the two) starts. In product view it will show a surplus on the first day and it will get consumed on the next day when B is produced.
Another way is to avoid using period factor so that heuristic creates planned order before the requirement.
Hope this should solve.

Using the warp tool I'm stabilizing my video and getting rid of the edge artifacts. Analyizing is clear on how long the process will take, but when it stabilizes I only get three moving dots. I there a way to know when the process will stop? Thanks.

I am using the warp tool to stabilize my video and get rid of the edge artifacts. The program is very clear about how long it will take to analyze, but there is nothing about how long the stabilization will take nor when I know when it is complete. Thanks ahead of time.

Warp Stabilising is a two part process.
Analysis and Stabilising.
Both have a banner across the Program Monitor during the process ( unless you have turned that off.
Analysis start automatically on forst application...but you can rock in there and start adjusting the parameters.
You may need to hit "Analyse" Button again.
You should see the number of frames and the estimated duration during this process.

Process "diskmountnotify" takes over the computer

Hi:
I am having a problem that I really don't understand and I hope that someone can help me understand better - and fix!
I don't know exactly when it started, probably within the past week or two, my Mac has been running very slowly, especially when coming back from a long period of inactivity (It doesn't sleep, but I let the screen go dark).
By slowly, I mean that any click can take up to 2-3 minutes to respond (e.g. activating an application, bringing a window to the front, etc.). Eventually (after about 5-10 minutes, it gets better to a point where is is reasonable, but still sluggish.
I looked at Activity Monitor, which shows that a process called "diskmountnotify" is taking between 96-99% of the CPU, which I have to guess is the reason.
The first thing I don't know is what diskmountnotify does. I can guess based on it's name, but, while I have some external disks mounted plus one AFP server volume, nothing is newly mounted.
The second thing I don't know is how to diagnose what's causing it to hog the CPU.
And last, I have no idea of where to start to fix it.
Any help, advice or direction would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks,
--Jeff

Michael:
Thank you!
Well, it turns out that the "Open Files and Ports" tab doesn't exist for that process, but a spotlight search shows that the path is:
/Library/Application Support/Norton Solutions Support/Norton AntiVirus
which means it's a Norton process. I've had many norton processes hog CPU before, so this doesn't shock me.
The parent process is "WindowServer" if that helps.
Any advice is helpful, but I will contact Norton tech support also.
Thanks for your help!

Migrating email across to BC when going live

Hi everyone,
I have come across this challenge often - when launching a new website for a client who already had a website and a branded email address (e.g. [email protected]). When I update the name servers to point to BC name servers, my clients lose their old email history.
Does anyone have a process or any recommendations about how my (often less than computer saavy) clients can save their email history before we update their name servers?
One of my clients, for example, is using the gmail system for their branded email address and is asking me if she will lose her email history? And if so, how she can retain her email history.
I've searched the web, but can't find anything concrete to advise her with and my experience is lacking in this area as well. Any help from the community would be outstanding!

I'll let you know a mistake I made so maybe you and/or other people can avoid the same mistake. Luckily I lost my email and not my client's email.
I needed to delete the mailboxes on my hosting account. I knew that all the email would be lost so before I deleted the email, I used Mac Mail to make a connection to my email account (typically, I connected through an iPhone or online) to download important email.
I "downloaded" all my messages to Mac Mail, then I deleted the email accounts. However, when I went back to Mac Mail, ALL the email was gone. Obviously, the email was being read from the server and NOT actually downloaded to my computer. A lesson learned.
As for your customer using Gmail, BC has an option to use a different email system. You can read about doing that and your customer could continue to use her branded Gmail account.
Take care,
Tricia

How can I make my 3G take over when my wi-fi has connectivity issues?

My wi-fi usually works fine but every so often it starts to work very slowly and usually not at all. How can I make it where I always stay connected to the wi-fi for the speed and convenience, but then my phone switches over to 3G connection when it can't receive data via it? I have an iPhone 4S so I've been having trouble making this work.

You can turn off WiFi from the pull-up menu on the bottom (swipe up from bottom of device and click on the WiFi symbol to turn it off).

Changing material number when Process Order is released

Hello,
We have a scenario in which the material number of a process order may need to be changed after the process order is released. We will have both in process and post production inspection types assigned to this order, and both inspection lots are created at process order release. We also will have a batch number created at process order release.
When recording test results in the inspection lot before a process order has been confirmed, the users may identify that the material number should be different. We would like a way to be able to either change the material number in the process order (and inspection lots). We know this involves a lot of updates (master data changes to the existing process order and inspection lots). Currently, there is no way to transfer information to a new material number without receiving product in and performing a usage decision in the post production inspection lot to transfer to a new material number.
The client has implemented all modules, except PP (which we are in the process of now). We know that Variant Configuration would have been the right solution for this, but this is not an option since MM is already implemented.
If you have any suggestions, please reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasobh,
The exact scenario is as follows:
1. A semi finished good will be used as a component to produce the finished good.
2. This semi finished good will have treatments added to it, and quality inspection will be performed as treatments are added.
3. Inspections will occur several times as treatments are added. If during one of these inspections, material is out of spec, and the blend should be transferred to another material number, we need to be able to change to another material number. To have a customization where material number is changed in all of the relevant PP and QM tables seems risky.
This is why we can't really use material classification. We also do not have the option to use VC bc the MM module is already implemented.
Thanks.

How to close old process orders dated 2006?

I have a open process order dated back to 2006. There is a negative balance of -$100 on this order.
Now in 2010 i want to close this order. The status of this order is TECO. However when i want to close this order, the system says i need to settle the negative balance first before doing so.
Hence when i run the settlement to material the system says the process order is not technically completed yet because i have not done the final delivery yet.
When i do final delivery using a current date in 2010, the system said it could not determine the object currency for the activity types used in the order since the cost center tied to the activity type has a validity date of up to 31/12/2006 only.
In this case i am stuck one after another situations. How can i close this order without going through all the above conditions?

Hi,
One alternative is to change the Settlement profile setting (attached to Order type) in OKO7 to 'Can be Settled' from 'To be settled in Full' briefly, which allows you to close the Order even with some balance on it. Revert back the setting once you are done.
Hope this helps.

Text in PI Sheet and Process Order did not match

Dear Sir,
We are going to upgrade to our system from 4.7 to ECC6.
We have a problem with PI Sheets with the Long text. The text instruction shown in the PI sheet is not matching with the long text put in the Process Order and Master Receipe.
We are using the Process Instruction Category "INST" and we are puting long text for instruction for this in the Master Receipe. At the time for creation of Process Order this Process instruction Category fatch correct value of long text from the Master Receipe after released the Process Order, Control Recipe generated for the same Process Order. But when we are going to process these Control Receipe from the T-Code CO60, We find the some different text for the "INST".
This problem is not for one Material and Plant Specific.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Gaurav,
There might be another possibility, make sure if you make any changes in the Control Recipe Destination program or user exit to populate the long text while sending the CR to the destination to reflect with the PO/Master Recipe.
with best regards
