PDS Question

Hello Experts,
When you lock the production version in ECC then how does lock tranfer to APO in PDS? Where can we see that lock in PDS?
Can we tranfer this lock as a change transfer in APO? OR we need to tranfer it curto_create transaction?
Another thing, currently we are using curto_create transaction to transfer Production version change but when we run curto_create transaction for all plants then it fails with ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY error. I have implemented Note 1559890 - INT-PDS: CURTO_CREATE -> runtime error ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY but issue is still exist.
Can anyone suggest what this issue all about?
Thanks & regards
Sujay Joshi

Hi Vipul,
Thanks for your response.
I was trying to see procurement priority in PDS but I didn't find. Can you please guide me how to see priority in PDS?
Second thing, I have gone through the note you have suggested & we are planning to implement it. Do you think this note will resolve DUPLICATE KEY Error as well?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sujay

Can we use SNP PDS in Multi level ATP ?

Hi All,
We do CTM planning with existing SNP PDS In APO and now we want to explore to use the Multi level ATP functionality for GATP. I know, MATP can create the ATP trees if the stock is not available and these can be converted into PPDS order.
My question is, can we use SNP PDS for this purpose?
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Hi Abhilasha,
There is no such specific mention anywhere in the literature that you cannot use SNP PDS for MATP. The only downside to using SNP PDS is that SNP PDS are meant for mid to long term planning and the activities/operations in SNP PDS are usually not in detail i.e only important activities or bottle neck components are usually used which will not always facilitate detailed scheduling.
On the other hand MATP creates ATP tree structures by plan exlosion(which can be SNP/PDS) and saves the requirements groups(component requirements of header level) with dates/qts and source of supply. It uses PPDS component to convert these ATP tree structures into PPDS planned orders depending on the conversion horizon/requirements dates. It does that by reading the source of supply, requirements dates and quantities from ATP tree structure and by plan explosion.
When MATP planned orders are created you should no longer plan them with automatic planning run as that will cause re-explosion of the plan and might cause incorrect down stream requirements if you had had substitutions at component leve during MATP check. In planned orders, you have an option of changing the allowed sources of supply (in source of supply section). But for orders created by MATP, you will not be allowed to change the source of supply field from SNP PDS to PPDS PDS in the planned order because it will re-explode the plan. So you can decide for yourself if you can use SNP PDS as source of supply for PPDS planned orders.
Hope that answers your question.

Split SNP PDS using BADI /SAPAPO/CURTO_SNP Method CIF_IMPORT

Hello APO ABAP experts,
The requirement is to split SNP PDS based on the number of modes. Meaning, the PDS should have only Mode per Activity in the Operations.
My plan was to change the changing internal tables in the method CIF_IMPORT to create number of SNP PDS depending up on Modes. But, i am not sure whether it is possible or not. Please suggest.
Note: BADI will be triggered once per each PDS.
Thanks,
Shaun.

Saurabh,
Let me explain you what i am doing:
Since i need to split one PDS into multiple PDS, I am changing the fields EXT_PLANNR and EXT_NAME just by appending a counter. Once after i change them, adding the entries to the changing internal tables (CT_*). At the end of CIF_IMPORT, i am deleting the original PDS entries.
Example code:
LOOP AT ct_planactz INTO ls_planactz.
    ls_planactz-ext_plannr = lv_new_ext_plannr.
    APPEND ls_planactz TO lt_planactz.
ENDLOOP.
APPEND LINES OF lt_planactz TO ct_planactz.
Right now, for testing purpose - i am not splitting the PDS. I am just trying to create 2 SNP PDS by using one PDS. I want to test my code first to create multiple PDS.
When doing this, i get the following error:
Error: Activity 250006007010001-012 000600000004 P does not exist
Message no. /SAPAPO/CURTO005
Piece of standard code cuasing the problem:
LN 64 in method GET_APO_GUIDS.
    READ TABLE ct_cif_planactz INTO ls_cif_planactz
              WITH KEY actnr   = ls_apo_planactz-r3actnr
                       plnkn   = ls_apo_planactz-plnkn
                       zaehl   = ls_apo_planactz-zaehl
                       phasenr = ls_apo_planactz-phasenr
                       uvorn   = ls_apo_planactz-uvorn
              BINARY SEARCH.
Call stack:
METHOD     GET_APO_GUIDS
METHOD     CREATE_RTO
METHOD     CREATE_SNP_RTO
FUNCTION     /SAPAPO/CUSLNTRTO_CREATE_RTO
Question:
May i know what is the significance of other fields in internal table ct_cif_planactz ? Since i am chaning only EXT_PLANNR field, above binary search is picking up the same entries and ignoring my second PDS.
I would appreciate if you can share your ideas.
Thanks,
Shaun.

Co-product PDS generation

Dear PP/DS Experts,
When transferring PDS form ERP to APO, co-product PDSs are generated automatically in APO even though the production versions of co-product do not exist.
Is this normal case ? How can I control this, I mean I want to exclude the generation of co-product PDS.
Please enlighten me for this question.
Regards,
Lee, Seung Won

Hi Lee,
PDS gets generated from Bom data. If there is co-product
indicator maintained in the BOM.(Select the material in the
bom and press F7 to get the coproduct indicator). The
same will also be defined in Material master of R/3 under
MRP2 view. From this, the coproduct values are
populated to APO into PDS data

After upgrading from FDS to PDS, License Manager says LV 7.1 is registered, LV 7.1 itself doesn't -- what do I do?

About a month ago I installed LV 7.1 FDS, and activated the license for it. Today I received the PDS, installed it over my FDS -- perhaps this was my first mistake -- and LV 7.1 tells me its unregistered when it runs, but the license manager tells me the product has been activated.
I tried deleting the LV license (.lic) file, but then the license manager does not even recognize that LV is installed and so it does not allow me to try to activate it. Is there a "blank" or "unactivated" .lic file I can replace my existing one with to allow me to fully activate LV?
Or does it really matter that LV tells me it is unregistered?
My apologies in advanc
e for asking a question that may have already been answered; I have gotten frustrated trying to come up with the right set of keywords to find the answer to this problem through the search engine!

The registration information seems to have been corrupted by the second installation. You should always uninstall before installing the new version.
Here�s a KnowledgeBase that describes how to register LabVIEW in the case you keep getting the �Unregistered� screen

DP-BOM questions

Hi,
I have the following questions in DP-BOM:
1. Using DP-BOM, I know that I can forecast for a finished good in grid one and then display the dependent demand in grid 2 using DP-PPM/PDS. If I have independent demand and show the statistical output in the Grid2 along with the dependent demand, then how do I do this?
One thought I have is to have a second data view(in the same planning book) with independent components forecast and have a macro at the planning book level that looks up these values from that data view and showup in the first data view. Then have another macro add up the dependent and independent demands? Please correct me if my thought is wrong and if there is another standard way of doing it.
2. If the finished good demand is forecasted and released to SNP. Then the SNP uses SNP PPM/PDS to explode and generate dependent requirements. Wha tis the use of using DP-BOM? I mean where do we use these dependent and independent demands? Is it for the demand planner's reference?
3. Selecting Dp-BOM relevent adds four additional characteristics 9AMATNR, 9ABOMIO, 9ABOMID AND 9APPM. I dont have system in and but just want to know what 9ABOMIO stand for?
Thanks.

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for the reply. I understand the concept. My question is how to do it in the system. I am having 2 grids in the data view with upper grid having details on finished product and the bottom grid has details on both dependent and independent demands. When I forecast the finished product, I select a forecasting model.I may not have to select the same model for forecasting the independent demand as well. As I understand, it is only one selection profile that is used in the interactive planning screen for this whole planning(?). I can assign only one forecasting profile at a time to the same selection profile.
Finally my question is how to do forecasting for finished and independent demands in the same planning screen. These two may always have different history and forecasting models..
I am not sure if I am clear. Please let me know.
Thanks.

CTM and PDS Structures

Hello everyone,
We are going to use the following BAdI's to create PDS
/SAPAPO/CURTO_CREATE
and for CTM
CREATE_CTM_PDS
Questions:-
If we create the PDS for CTM does this still create them for PP/DS? so would the table entries be double? (one for the PP/DS PDS and one for the CTM PDS).
And cane we make the naming of the CTM PDS different to the PP/DS PDS (so insert CTM in front of all the CTM PDS).
Thanks in advance.
Guy

Guy:
When you generate integration model for PDS you choose Rough cut planning and PDS type SNP for CTM, where as PDS for PP/DS goes by its own type with Detailed planning option and when you CIF it over to APO you can see the PDS to check the difference between CTM PDS or PP/DS PDS by there type.
I hope this help.

Discrete Manufacturing Questions.

Hi All,
We are working on implementing Manufacturing and have couple of questions regarding setups.
We buy steel in pds and end product is sold in eaches. How do we calculate the usage of raw material in a way that raw materials are depleted properly. Say, it takes about 20 pds of steel to make product of certain kind.
Another questions, We buy paint in pds and it is consumed on sqft of steel we paint on. Example, it takes 10pds of paint to paint 100sqft(10x10 sheet). How do we deplete paint in this case. I wanted to know, if there are any setups for such calculations.
Also, I have 5 models of a product, where the skeleton is same only the external additions are different. How do we setup an base or dependent item in WIP. As we use single base model for multiple of product.
Hoping to have some directions from FUNCTION Gurus out here.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
I hope this helps you

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

Fresh J:
A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall?
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:
