Opportunity Milestone Dates for BI

Hi,
we have created some date fields under Opportunity Milestone Dates using date profile. Now we need to pull data in to BI by enhancing the extractors. I am having tough time in finding out what table these date values are getting stored in and what should be the join condition i should use between opportinity Item table and the dates table for BADI.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I think you can use the FM 'CRM_ORDER_READ'. Pass the guid of the transaction as input to the FM , milestones details you will get from the parameter 'ET_APPOINTMENT'.
Hope this helps.

Retrieving the milestone dates for an opportunity line item

Good afternoon experts,
I am looking for a way to retrieve the milestone dates for an opportunity line item. I have the line item GUID and need to find out the milestone dates for the item.
Is there a table or FM that will allow me to do this?
Thanks,

Passing of Milestone data in BAPI_EH_POST fm for expected event creation?

HI,
If non-sap system will try to post expected event through bapi_eh_post to sap em, Is it possible to create expected event in sap em by providing values to milestone data in bapi eh post and attach an expected event profile for the event handler.Kindly suggest, how to create an expected event for any activity not coming from application system.

Hello Ratnakar,
there is no special coding needed.
If you call EH_POST you hav just provide all the EH data in the interface.
The link is only the Business Process Type. It is important that you fill AO Type, AO System etc. in all the tables.
You could debug here:
In EH creation case you should be later coming to this point:
Inside this method EE will be generated based on your milestones.

Badi or User exit for CJ20N..Milestone date

HI...
I have to access the field of CJ20N fieldname (LST_ACTDT) (Milestone date).I have to send the alert mail using that value.
But i am unable to get the BADI or user exit to get that value.I am using the BADI WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE. But not reaching to solution.
Can anyone help me out..

Hi Priyank,
Instead of that you can directly use the BAPI -BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO'
EXPORTING
PROJECT_DEFINITION           =
   WITH_ACTIVITIES              = 'X'
   WITH_MILESTONES              = 'X'
   WITH_SUBTREE                 = 'X'
IMPORTING
E_PROJECT_DEFINITION         =
RETURN                       =
TABLES
   I_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE          = " send the pspnr value by appending in the table i.e. IT_WBS_ELEMENT-PSPNR
E_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE          =
   E_WBS_MILESTONE_TABLE        = "catch this in a internal table
E_WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE       =
E_ACTIVITY_TABLE             =
E_MESSAGE_TABLE              =
If u wish to have details of wbs only..by entering WBS ELEMENT in I_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE u have to give
WITH_ACTIVITIES X
WITH_MILESTONES X
WITH_SUBTREE X
then only u will get deatils of corresponding wbs via bapi BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO.
In the milestone internal table you will have all the dates.
Please refer to the function module documentation for further details.

Create new survey data for opportunity using abap code

Hello to all,
I have one requirement.
create survey data for given opportunity ID using abap code. or copy survey data from one opportunity to another opportunity using abap.
any ideas..
many thanks
Babu

Hello Babu,
You can do this through the CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN FM, this is the generic FM to edit any transaction in CRM.
The FM contains an internal table IT_SURVEY that must be filled. Actually, this table will only contain a reference to the (completed) survey, it doesn't store the data of the survey itself.
For some example coding, take a look at the SrvTSurvey.do controller. If you want to see what data is stored in the IT_SURVEY table, create a transaction and attach a completed survey to it (you can easily do it in the standard views of the webclient) and take a look at the survey structure in the CRM_ORDER_READ FM/Report.
Let me know if you need more guidance,

Incorrect product in the transactional cube for opportunity planning data.

Hi,
We're loading our Opportunity planning data of CRM in a transactional cube in BW side. Later this transactional cube data is then uploaded into a standard cube.
For an opportunity, user enter some planning data for a given product (A). which was duly stored in transactional and then later in the standard cube. Then user deleted the product (A) and entered a new product (B) on CRM side. However in the transactional cube, records for the previous product (A) also exist and the same flows to the standard cube as well.
Fyi, delta load mechanism is in place for loading of both types of cubes.
Could someone throw some light why the old item (product A) is still there in the cubes. coz this gives a wrong picture in the report, though the key figures for product A are 0.
Regards,
Nagendra.

A daily compression would remove the loading details of the cube that are visible to us for any back-tracking, Normally we do the compression for load requests older than 2 weeks.
But the suggestion is good, incase i do not come up with any other soln, will think of implementing this.
Maybe my delta load knowledge is not good enough.
Please answer the following.
What happens, when we're using standard data sources (with delta load) for loading data from (say) CRM to BW and for a given header guid, a item guid record is later deleted in CRM. On BW side, whether this item_guid record will still be present in the cube or be deleted.
Regards,
Nagendra.

Updating product revenue close date based off opportunity close date

We do not use the product revenue close date, only the opportunity close date. We need to get the fiscal month of the opportunity close date but we have several reports the need to use the opportunity product history area and that does not contain the fiscal month for the opportunity. If we did a combined report, we cannot offer the user any prompts.
Does anyone know how to get the opportunity close date fiscal month from the opportunity products area? Is there a way to update the product revenue close date when the opportunity close date it updated?
Thanks

Hi David,
In the universe you describe you have the opportunity 'Close Date'. Use a 'case-when' expression to create the 'Fiscal Month' you need.
Other than that you can use the JoinFieldValue function in the application to retrieve the opty close date, but that will require you to update product revenue for it to trigger which probably won't work for you.
Good luck.

How to only show data for a certain period of time for cumulative data?

I need to show cumulative data for the past 12 months on a chart (e.g. # of accounts). But in order to get the cumulative data for Month 1, I need to cum the data starting from the very first month when we started to add new account which can be Jan 2006. If I put a filter to limit the data to only last 12 months, then my Month 1's cum data will not include any account prior to Month 1. So how do I do this?
Edited by: user637947 on Feb 5, 2009 2:02 PM

Hi,
Try this Filter....
Opportunity."Close Date" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -11, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -(DAY(CURRENT_DATE) - 1), CURRENT_DATE)) AND Opportunity."Close Date" <= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 1, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -(DAY(CURRENT_DATE) + 0), CURRENT_DATE))
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Saravanan,
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and
construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the
completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones
are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System
confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the
basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine 100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status
01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x
01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x
01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x
01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x
01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x
Network/Activities
Milestone Estimate Actual
Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance 01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
 planned billing date for the date

Report on Opportunity Close date forecast Quarters

Hi,
we have created a custom report with fields from the Forecast section in Reporting including the Opportunity close date, and under the 'Close Date' we have put the Fiscal Quarter. However it is coming out wrong in some cases, so i added the 'Date' under the Close date section and not the opportunity section and it is different to the Close date on the opportunity. Can someone tell me what this 'Date' refers to?
Thank you

That is a very creative solution, Dale. I do have a couple of "what ifs" for you.
What if the Close Date is 10/30/2007... I change this to 10/15/2007 - a change of -15 days. Then I realize that I meant to change it to 11/15/2007 and changed it again. Would this create a problem for the report since the change amount would now show a 30-day change when it is really a 15-day change?
Another scenario has the date change twice in one week, between times that the report is run. The original date of 10/30/07 changes to 11/15/07 and then the next day changes to 12/15/07. How does this affect the report?
When we get to the point that the audit trail becomes reportable, this problem is solved. Until then, it is quite the puzzle. I think your solution potentially solves part of the problem, but depending on how much that date field actually changes and how often you run your report and which fields are needed in that report, it could return misleading data as well.
This is a very interesting problem. Dale has come closest to a solution so far. Any other suggestions for DavidG? I am drawing a blank on it so far.

Milestone Billing for partial quantities

Hi,
My client is having Milestone billing schedule where in they bill their customers as per the billing schedule maintianed in the billing plan tab in sales order.
Billing plan is activated at Item level as the various items in a sales order can have different schedules.
But the issue is that they bill their customer on pro-rata basis which means the the billing document created for different milestones in the billing plan for each item can happen for partial quantities of the item under consideration.
Standard SAP Functionality doesnot allow this. In Copy Control, I tried out using the Invoice Split in Data Transfer Routine in Copy Control which doesnot give me the desired fucntionality.Copy Requirements Formula used is 023 (Item ord.ref. w/o AZ) as i need to create invoices for each milestones at item level which is working fine. But just that i cannot do milestone billing (for individial milestones at Item Level) for rpartial quantities. It can only happen for the entire order quantity.
In short the condition BIlling Quantity = Order Quantity - Invoiced Quantity is not working. Always Billing Quantity = Order quantity.
Delivery Related billing will not serve their purpose either...
Can any one throw some light on the above issue? Can I achieve the desired rersult using some custom routines?
Regards,
Nithin

Hi Navaneetha,
Thanks for your reply.
I do completely agree with you and informed the same to the client.
I have activated Billing plan at item level and each item is been assigned with different WBS Element and everything is working Fine except the fact that partial billing is not possible for the quantities.
Let me explain the business implications of the same.
My client might have a billing schedule with 4 milestones for an Item A of 100 Quantities in a Sales order
Milestone 1 : Upon the confirmation of Order Acceptance , they bill the customer for 10 %
Milestone 2 : Upon the completion of designing part, they bill the customer for another 20 %
Milestone 3 : Upon the dispatch of materials to the customer. they bill the customer for another 60 %
Milestone 4 : Upon the submission of the documents and completion the legal aspects, the final invoice for the 10 % which completes 100 % Milestone billing
Now here in the third milestone when the items are dispatched, they also need to create the excise invoice. here what they do is that they bill the customer for 60% of the net item value as explained above, but the taxes would be calculated for 100% net item value( VAT/CST & Excise Duties).and based on this commercial invoice, the excise document is created. I managed to map that. No problems
But their concern is with third milestone. Milestone 1, 2 & 4 will happen for the full 100 quantities. But for third milestone, let us say that they dispatched 90 quantities of the item and for some reasons they could not dispatch 10 nos of items. They are entitled to bill their customers for the 90 nos of the Item and the rest 10 Nos they will bill it as a different invoice. Now SAP Doesn't allow this.
One solution is to ask them to prepare Proforma/Commercial Invoice against the delivery Document and Excise Invoice against the invoice so created. But then it further complicates the process and already billing against billing plan is so complicated that they are complaining that their life was so easy before the implementation of SAP
They want some solution for this problem of theirs as when they mean one quantity of Item A, they mean some thing around 10-50 Crore Rupees.
There is one note released by SAP but that is restricted to versions below 4. 7 and become obsolete for higher versions.
Can any body help me out with this? How about possibility of a custom Routine in Copy Control or Data Transfer?
The problem is that the moment i activate an item category with billing plan, it deactivate the copy control setting for partial order billing.
Thanks & Regards,
Nithin Mohanan

HI Piyush,
Tyr to use CRM_order_maintain. If you are trying to change partner,pricing,status,header,item then ORDER_MAINTAIN is the good one to use.
Its very easy to identify the parameters that need to be populated for this FM

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,
Sterling
