Picking issue - large/small QTY strategy

Hello,
I have a question regarding the use of the large/small QTY picking strategy in SAP WMS:
My customer has a warehouse with one bulk and one picking area. We are using the large/small QTY picking strategy. If an order contains > 1 pallet of the material, it will be picked from the bulk area, otherwise picking from the picking area is used.
Now, I have the following scenario:
My bulk area of Material A is empty;
The picking area (Material A) contains 2 pallets.
An order is placed for two pallets, Material A. When creating the TO, the system wants to fulfill this order with stock from the bulk area. This is correct from a large/small QTY point of view.
However, as there is no stock available at the bulk area, the order cannot be fullfilled. Now, I would expect that the stock from the picking area is used, so that the order can be fullfilled. Unfortunately, SAP does not automatically use this available stock because it is not allowed from a picking strategy point of view.
Of course, I would like to know if there is a solution available for this specific scenario... anyone?
Regards,
Oliver

Hi,
I've got the same problem here at my customer. Any progress to report on this matter?
Work-around would be to change the quantity to an amount lower than the large/small quantity and split the amount in one or several step so you can pick from picking area. Result would be a transport order with several lines in the picking area.
Any other suggestions on this?
Regards,
Arno

Large/Small quantity stock removal vs partial stock removal.

Hi All,
I am trying to get following configuration in place: Stock removal A (partial pallet) with Full stock removal "Checked" and return the unused stock to storage type mentioned under "return storage type". But I am getting following error "For Compl. Stock removal or SU managed, either pick point or return to same bin). But if you see the SAP documentation it allows this configuration. My 2 storage types which I am using have SU & non-SU managed with putaway strategy as "next empty bin" as we don't know what are the weight or quantity restriction on each rack location for now.
My second config issue is related to usage of stock removal strategy M (large/small qty). Like mentioned above I have to area; SU & non-SU managed. And I would like to use F (FIFO) strategy for non-SU managed inventory and use M for SU managed inventory with an option of checking if the quantity is higher than SU, pick the remaining small quantity from non-SU managed place. Can I acheive with different stock removal at storage type level; one with M and another with F or do I need to have M.
Let me know if more clarity is required to provide responses.
Thanks.

Hello,
For 1:
Partial picking can be done on a SU with the usage of a pick point . The pick point is a place where materials are brought and moved for a partial pick up from an SU. In the std system storage types 010 & 011 have been defined for the same.
you may refer to the following link: Partial pick using a pick point and how you carry out with SU's invloved.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f85c504afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
For 2:
When you want to use M as the stock removal strategy, the following needs to be done:
1) You define a "small" storage type where only a limited quantity can be removed. ( the control qty in the WM2 view of MM)
2) You define a "large" storage type and this will be removing quantities above the control quantity limit
3) Define the control quantity of all those materials that you want to be picked from the small storage type. (This could probably correspond to your SU qty, )
you need to have the smaller storage type set as "M " and when you are customizing search strategy for the storage types ( SPRO> LE>WM--> Strategies >stock removal strategies> Define strategy for large/ small qty, you can then define the first storage type for E as smaller storage type and then the larger storage type i.e. the second one should be higher than the preceding one.
Please see if this helps.
Thanks,

Picking Strategy M Large/small quantities

Hi,
I am using the Picking Strategy M Large/small quantities included
And the control quantity in the material master is a pallet.
The problem is that in picking we have got several boxes that all together sum up a pallet but I want the user takes from Block storage (higher than picking storage unit)
Do you know how to solve it?
I think that the problem would be solved if the system proposes the palletization data from material master data
When I make an inbounds (receptions 101) it is working but not in outbounds (sales deliveries).
Regards,
Enrique

Hi,
I have maintained the palletization data in materiel master WM view,
For the entries 101, 501 it is working fine.
Example: pallet E1 is 100 units.
If I make a reception of 120 units. The system splits in 100 (1 pallet) and 20 units.
This is OK.
But if I make a goods issue of 120 units. The system tries to get 120 units
This is not OK because in picking I don´t have pallets (I don´t manage SU) but may be I have 120 units from different pallets. They are single units.
So I have got two storage types: picking with units and blocks for pallets but the system does not convert units into pallets.
Obviously my customer orders units and not pallets.

Enrique

MSOutlook HTML newsletter issues - large gaps between large images and small gaps...

Please can you help me!
Searched the web & found plently of advice but still getting formatting display issue when viewing HTML newsletter in MS Outlook.
Fully aware on the basics regarding the multiple issues when creating HTML newsletters but this is driving me crazy.
Apparently there is a image height limit within Outlook (can't find out what this is) so I have sliced my larger images into 5/6 parts which solves the display issue in Outlook.
But the gaps between the slices are now being displayed as small blank spaces within Hotmail.
I did use <br> between each slice as without caused the fixed 600px wide containing table to expand due to the slices stacking hoz.
Also still getting small gaps (like <br> spaces) between all images in Outlook when displaying perfectly (no gaps) in a browser.
This is my newsletter displaying correctly via a browser:

Hope you can help
Many thanks

Many thanks David
I also found this article which is currently sitting on my desk.
Pdf would make perfect sense or even a url link to view via a browser but these guys need it contained within the email.

Socket.receive not picking up large packets

I have found that the socket.receive method on some systems has trouble picking up large multicast packets from the network (i.e. 50k). Running ethereal, the packets are making it to the machine but the receive method continues to block as if nothing was there. It seems to be an issue with redhat linux since the software I have been told works fine on a windows machine. I am currently running the software on core 2 and I believe we are experiencing a similiar problem on redhat 9. Has anyone experienced this problem before and possibly know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

No answer for you, I'm afraid, but some possibly illuminatory questions.
Are you able to determine the boundary between the sizes of packets that can be received and those that can't? Is the boundary precise, or fuzzy (ie, do packets get lost intermittently when sizes are near the boundary) ?
Are you running firewalling software (iptables?) on your LInux system?
Is your Linux system configured always to defragment packets prior to firewalling? If so, if you reconfigure it not to, does it start working?
Does it work if the packets are simply broadcast rather than multicast?

What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller) Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there and the slides have their orignal number--there are just white spaces where the slide should be and I can only get to the slide by clicking through from the prior slide. How do I get the sldies back into the navigator so I can see them. Oddly, they are show up just find on the light table.

Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be sorting out next year.

Fill color picker issue

When I double click on the fill color in the tool bar the color picker window opens. Unfortunately it is opening to a color that is not the color of my fill such as this orange here instead of the green. I am wondering if I have some sort of color theme option turned on somewhere? Any help to get this back to normal would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, felt like I was going crazy

Small qty in stock in transit

Hi
I have 1 stock transfer order with movement type 641. Goods receipt against outbound delivery.
sto is for 515 kg qty but GR is done of 514.8. I want to do the goods receipt og 0.2 kg but when I go to do GR it gives me message that
document XXXX does not contain any selectable items.
XXXX is outbound delivery. I hav tried removing delivery tolerance but same error.
I see in po inbound delivery is created. How I can do the inbound delivery & do the goods receipt.
Will I get same error at the time of creating inbound delivery and goods receipt.
I want to add below points also.
I have STO in unit BI where 1 BI = 400 kg
STO raised for 1.288 BI means 515.20 kg
but goods issue done with 1.288 BI but kg was 515 kg (I see in outbound delivery )
goods receipt is already done for 1.287 BI for Kg 514.80.
Hos do I create inbound delivery as there is 0.001 BI is pending for GR with qty 0.2 kg.
But as per conversion 0.001 BI =0.4 kg.
When in inbound delivery I enter 0.001 & gross wt as 0.2 kg it gives error. as GROSS WEIGH IS SMALLER THAN NET WEIGHT.

Hi Jurgan,
This will resolve the issue.
I have one more query subject of which is MEK3 access sequence.
I hope you will be resolve my issue.
I have created 1 table A510 & assigned this in access sequence. This change request is in Production now.
But what is happening even after maintain the recore for condition ZINT I am not getting table in mek3 in condition info tab.
I am not specifying any criteria in condition info. I don't know why this is happening.
I have checked with sales team also they are telling that you should have created table with no. 600 above as A510 table will come in standard table.

SOA 10g JMS adapter does not pick up large messages in Oracle AQ

I am using SOA 10g 10.1.3.4 MLR #9. When I enqueue a large JMS message ( of type SYS.AQ$_JMS_TEXT_MESSAGE ) into the AQ from SOA 11g it goes into the TEXT_LOB portion of the USER_DATA column in AQ. In addition to this GROUPID and GROUPSEQ do not seem to get set. When that happens, my JMS adapterfrom SOA 10g does not seem to dequeue the message. But if I enqueue the same message using sql and set the GROUPID and GROUPSEQ my JMS adapter from 10g picks up the clob message.
How do we make the 10g adapter always pick up the large message in TEXT_LOB? I don't have this problem when the message is small because it goes into TEXT_VC field instead of TEXT_LOB field.

We are having this problem and have not figured it out yet. We need help. An oracle SR is opened but no progress from Oracle yet. I need to get some traction on this so anyone's help is appreciated. Our suspicion is that the AQ client in the wls 10.3.1 is incorrectly choosing to put the xml payload in TEXT_LOB even though the character size is less than 4000.
Here is a summary of our observations....
Today we did some testing with our old 6.3.1 OSM environment and our new 7.0.2 environment. We tested each against our QA1 environment and then our QA2 environment. Scenrio 1 is our problem. Scenario 2,3,and 4 all behave similar to each other. Why does Scenario 1 behave differently. It is causing AIA a problem when it dequeues the message.
Scenario 1:
We pointed our 7.0.2 OSM/Weblogic 10.3.1/Out of the Box AQ (which is part of our QA1 environment) to send messages to the AIA AQ table in our QA1 environment. The AIA database uses ALT32UTF8 character set. We don't know what character set the 7.0.2 OSM/Weblogic/AQ uses. Wehn we sent messages to the AIA QA1 table we saw that everything under TEXT_LEN 1000 went to TEXT_VC, Over 1000 went to TEXT_LOB. This is causes AIA to throw an exception if the message is over 1000 when it dequeus the message, because it thinks it shoudl look in the TEXT_VC which is null for AIA.
Scenario 2:
We pointed our 7.0.2 OSM/Weblogic 10.3.1/Out of the box AQ (which is part of our QA1 environment) to send messages to the AIA AQ table in our QA2 enviornment. The AIA database uses UTF8 character set. We don't know what character set the 7.0.2 OSM/Weblogic/AQ uses. When we sent messages to the AIA QA2 AQ table we saw that everything under TEXT_LEN 4000 went to TEXT_VC. Over 4000 went to TEXT_LOB. This is fine for us.
Scenario 3:
We pointed our 6.3.1 OSM/Weblogic 9.2.1/Custom AQ Solution (which is part of our QA2 environment) to send messages to the AIA AQ table in our QA2 environment. The AIA database uses UTF8 character set. We don't know what character set the 6.3.1 OSM/Weblogic/AQ uses. When we sent messages to the AIA QA2 AQ table we saw that everything under TEXT_LEN 4000 went to TEXT_VC. Over 4000 went to TEXT_LOB. This is fine for us.
Scenario 4:
We pointed our 6.3.1 OSM/Weblogic 9.2.1/Custom AQ Solution (which is part of our DEVINT1 environment) to send messages to the AIA AQ table in our QA1 enviornment. The AIA database uses ALT32UTF8 character set. We don't know what character set the 6.3.1 OSM/Weblogic/AQ uses. When we sent messages to the AIA QA1 AQ table we saw that everything under TEXT_LEN 4000 went to TEXT_VC. Over 4000 went to TEXT_LOB. This is fine for us.

DB Polling Issue (last read date strategy)

I am using a DB polling adapter, using the Last read date strategy.
I have an issue when error is occured.. Here is the scenario..
Polling table name: bpel_poll
polling fields: table_name and last_read_date..
insert into bpel_poll values( 'TEST_TABLE', 4/21/08 10 AM )
Now the bpel picked up 100 records at 10:30 AM (after 30 mins). all the BPEL instances are errored out because of some issue in some activity.
At the end When the 100 instances errors out, the polling table is updated with the current date ie 4/21/08 10:30 AM.
There is no way to reprocess the 100 records that are failed becoz the last read date is changed and will never pickup previous 100 records.
I don't know if this is bug or expected behavior. I would assume the BPEL will keep the last read date as 10 AM instead of 10:30 AM as all instances failed..
Is there any way to achieve this? if not How can we reprocess the failed records?
please help..

I believe the point of the DBPolling is that once a record is successfully read then depending on the strategy that has been implements either a sequence or value in a table will be updated with a specfied value. Hence logically delete it so it is not picked up by another run of the process.
I.e if you ran the process and it took a long time before the DB was polled again then it would potentially re-process the same records twice.
Not sure if I fully understand the problem. When I have used a Polling strategy I tend to ensure I use a BPEL_STATE column to allow me to re-process records that have errored.

Photoshop CS3: Color Picker Issue

Hello All,
I am having a bit of an issue with my Color Picker.
As you know, when you open up the Color Picker, it has the large square with the assortment of colors on the left and the details of the color on the right.
As of today, Photoshop won't let me use my cursor to click and select a color from within that large square. Nor can I scroll up and down the rainbow color strip on the side.
Is there a way to get those features back?
Thanks in advance.

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Issue with retriggering Release Strategy

Hi all,
We have a one off situation here. We had already 10 release staragies in our system. We added 2 more release strategies with a new characteristic. We updated the characteristic value only for the new 2 release strategues and did not update the rest 10. Although now we had updated the characteristic value for remaiining strategies, the purchase documents created in the mean tme is not subjected to release strategy. To ensure business control we need to retrigger back the release strategy for almost 1000's of documents.
As any change to purcahsing document will retrigger it when done manually, but given the number of documents and as per Note 493900 we cannot trigger it by any backgoriund job to modify as below:
16. Question :
Why is there no release strategy determination when a program changes in
background a purchasing document which corresponds to the classification of
a release strategy ?
Answer :
This is the system design that a release strategy determination can only be
triggered through a user action and not by changes made in background
process.
If you create a document (e.g. PO, Contract, etc), the determination of the
release strategy takes place only in case of a user event like checking or
saving the document.
Kindly suggest any best practise to retrigger release strategy for the missing documents to ensure business control. Any easy and time savig measure to get it resolved will be appreciated.

Anand Sampath

Hi Arnand,
After investigation by searching customer messages database ,I found
other customer has similar problem as the release strategy has changed
after creation of the SES please review the explanation from developer
:(whose release code is 03 )
When you try to revoke the acceptance of the service entry sheets
in ML81N or ML81, the 'Enter release code' pop up window appears, but
entering the code that is determined via the menu path Goto -> Entry
Sheet -> Release Strategy (which is the 03), the SES remains the same.
Nothing changes. The status does not vary and no error or warning
message is issued.
Checking the customizing for the release strategy, the release code
03 should have never been assigned to the SES 800024272 as the values
for the relevant characteristics were not included under that code.
I do not know how it was managed to accept the SES.
Now, when you try to revoke it, it seems that no release
strategy can be determined, not even including the values RCARESANO
and 012 between the valid values for the characteristics of the release
code 03 (RCARESANO as valid value for SUPERVISOR_SERVICIOS
(CESSR-ERNAM)and 012 as valid value for GRUPO_COMPRAS (CESSR-EKGRP)).
The only Possibility is to change now the SES so that the release
strategy can be re-determined by the system.This is the Only possible
way that the system can redetermine the Release Strategy , but it will
not be possible to do so as the SES is already accepted with the Old
strategy and it does not admit any further changes.
To be able to change it you would need to revoke the SES first,
but this Will also not be possible as the Release Strategy was changed
and the system still applies the old rules for determining the Release.
Solution to our Problem
The Only way to revoke the SES is to Restore back the Old Strategy that
was prior to 03 in the customizing.So now what will happen is that by
applying the Old Rules the System will be able to revoke the SES that#s
using the Old one. Once the necessary SES are revoked then go back to
customizing and apply the new strategy as it was did now, and
Change the SES and save , the new value of the Release Strategy will get
updated in the table ESSR and the field frgsx will now have 03.
Problems associated if the Release strategy is changed
Actually the release strategy is not supposed to be changed when there
are some documents in the System that uses it and even if you change the
Strategy the Old records will not get AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED by the
system.The Release Strategy routine has to run again to update the
values. This is Possible by changing the document SES ,
This change will happen only if the SES is not accepted and if its
accepted then you need to revoke and to revoke you need to restore the
old strategy , revoke and then change the SES , and have to go back to
customizing and Start using the New strategy from now on by doing so the
Routine will update the old record with the new strategy.
b) You may want to use CEKKO-BADAT(Requisition Date) or any other
structure in CEBAN or CEKKO and create a new release strategy
to differentiate the old release strategy.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Issue: Purchase order release strategy with storage loaction.

Hi Friends,
I have created release strategy for purchase order considering following characteristics.
1. Plant
2. Purchase organization
3. Purchase group
4. Document type
Hence the release strategy is working fine.
Now the requirement is changed, PO approves should be picked depending on the storage location wise. So i tried to create characteristic for storage location with table name CEKKO and with field LGORT. However system not allowing to create, telling that field LGORT not found in table CEKKO.
Can any one tell me how to maintain this LGORT filed in structure CEKKO.
Thanks in advance
Shashidhar

HI Shashi ,
Thanks for your quick response,
I have Appended a structure to Standard Structure CEKKO with Field LGOBE.
Also we written the code :move: i_cekko = e_cekko, in user User-Exit M06E0004 function exit
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLEBND_002.
However, the release strategy is not triggering when PO is saved,
also the user-exit is not getting triggered , even though i have included the statement ' Break-Point'
in it.
Kindly reply.
Thanks ,

Issue with PO Release strategy

Hi experts,
I have problem with Po release strategy in 5 to 10 purchase orders, i have created few purchase orders(2000 Po's) with same document type and company code ..etc and saved, then release strategy has been triggered.
For few purhcase orders release strategy has not been triggered.
If i take 1 po from that few purchase orders(Release strategy has not triggered) as reference and again if i create PO,new purchase order have getting created with release strategy.
Can some body tel how this ican be possible, hope this might be standard syatem behaviour.
Hope i should delete thos e purchase orders and i should create new PO's instead of of old PO's (Without release strategy).
Some experts can share their experiance in this regard.
And how i should proceed further with this issue.??
Thanks

Hi,
You issue in your system has 2000Nou2019s purchase orders with release strategy has been triggered but 5 to 10 purchase orders do have release strategy.
& when you are creating a new PO with reference to old purchase orders (which release strategy has not triggered) and on saving NEW PO created with triggering release strategy.
Cause for above:
PO which release strategy does not trigger because the purchase orders are created before setting release strategy for PO. Those PO triggered release strategy and all are created after setting release strategy for PO.
Action:
Its completely business call for business users to go for options:
Option-- >1# You can use same old PO which release strategy does not triggered, do GR and all other process
Option-- >2# You can create new PO with reference old PO which release strategy does not triggered and upon saving you will have new PO number with release strategy triggered, then release PO & do GR and other related process.
