Planning Method in Item attribute

dear expert,
can anyone explain, may be by example, the purpose of using MRP/MPP, MPS/MPP, or others planning method in item attribute MPS/MRP Planned.
Regards

The manual has detailed example but in a nutshell...
MPS planning is when you have a fixed schedule your floor follows irrespective of demand.
MRP planning is when you want to buy/make an item based on the demand.

Notification on Receipt and Purchase documents getting fired on Production order having Items with planning method as MRP

I have written a SP Notification to block adding of documents if block number is not provided. Notification is working fine on Purchase and Receipt documents. This notification also gets executed on Production Order where items included in Production order have planning method as MRP.
Can anyone explain me the relationship between
"MRP planned items"
and
"Purchase documents (Purchase Order; GRPO; Purchase Return; AP Invoice and Credit Memo) and Receipt of Production."
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sonil,
Can you post your SP , to look if there is any problem with SP ..

Item Attribute - Auto Expire ASN

All,
There is a profile option under VMI on the General Planning Tab for items called Auto Expire ASN. The only thing I have found is in the Inventory User's Guide - "If selected, the advanced shipment notice for the item expires."
Can anyone provide insight in to how this attribute works? Is it only for VMI items?
Thanks in advance,
Eric Rodriguez

Karthic,
How exactly can you do that? What kind of item type and attributes should I use?
I don't see anything that jumps out at me as a method for doing an LOV unless it uses a custom application component attribute - but that doesn't sound that it would work or would be searchable via a search engine!
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Dynamically create document type Item Attribute using WF_ENGINE.AddItem API

Hi
Is WF_ENGINE.AddItem API , supported to create document type Item attributes dynamically ? If yes how do we set the display name of the attribute. If no then is there is any other method to dynamically create document tyoe item attribute?
Thanks

Hi,
If the document is stored on a file system, then I would replace the message body with a PL/SQL document which includes links to the files as straightforward URLs. There would be no need to include them in the Workflow in any way. For example, I recently worked with a client where all the (file) attachments made within eBusiness Suite were then migrated into Oracle Universal Content Management and the attachment was replaced with a URL to the new document. Any notifications now just reference the URL link to the document within the document management system in an HTML notification. While the processing is going on, the user is given the list of files that exist as attachments, but no links because the document is being processed by the management system.
If the attachments are going to be stored in Workflow as documents, you won't be able to change the display name though - display name is set for the attribute on the message, not for each specific notification. Changing the value of the display name for the message would impact all notifications that use that message, which isn't what you want.
What you need is to dynamically build the notification (either using PL/SQL or OA Framework) and include a list of attachments in the notification. This may be a direct link to the document (either in a document management system or on a file system somewhere) that you can render as a URL, or a link to code that can retrieve the document from the database and serve that to the user. This is not a straightforward piece of work.
If this is purely internal, you might be better off having a custom form / screen which displays the different documents, and link to that from the notification. Or you could link to a standard form for the transaction and have the users pick up the attachments directly from the transaction.
HTH,
Matt

Item attributes not read by IPC

Requirement: Pricing in Web Catalog based on Product Master Attributes. (condition records use fields from product master data. These condition record do not get calculated in the Product price displayed in the produdct catalog).
What we have done so far
1.     Implemented BAdI CRM_ISA_HDR_PRICING and its method NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ for passing additional Product Master Attributes and their values.
2.     Activated the call of the CRM_ISA_PRICING_ITMDATA_GET function module for additional data at item level by setting the parameter u2018doItemCallsu2019= TRUE.
This function module calls the NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method of the CRM_ISA_HDR_PRICING BAdI. Additional item data is transferred by implementing the NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method.
3.     The NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ method returns the additional attributes in the structure ET-ITEMATTRIBUTES.
We have referred the SAP Note: 1004533.
Issue:
1.     When debugging, the method NEW_ITEM_VALUES_READ is getting executed and the table structure ET_ITEMATTRIBUTES is populated with all the additional attributes (for e.g. ZZ_VARIETY) and the corresponding values.
2.     In the Java Session log, when IPC is reading those values from the structure ET_ITEMATTRIBUTES, just after reading the first attribute it throws an exception as shown below and exits the loop that reads the values from the structure. Thus it does not able to read the additional attributes at all.
<<Snapshot of the error from Session Log>>
May 22, 2009 9:56:40 AM SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_23 Error   com.sap.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing.PriceCalculatorCRMIPC       Error occcurred in EAI layer "".

Any ideas on why even with the parameter 'doITEMcalls=TRUE', IPC is not able to read the item attributes?
thanks for any useful replies.

Is there an adobe accessibility forum where I can check
for? I could not understand your clue.
Do you mean if I use Panel, this problem could be solved?

Source Used Item Attribute

Hi All,
I am using HTML DB 2.0. I am a new user of HTMLDB. Please explain the difference between 2 Source Used Item Attribute
1. Always, replacing an existing value in session state
2. Only when current value in session state is null.
If there is already a thread on this, please give me the link.
Thanks in advance
Monika

So are you saying that this behaviour is different in v1.6?Yes. Otherwise the PPR stuff wouldn't work when those requests referenced uncommitted session state.
You mean, "will NOT be able to ..."No, it will be able to see the value of the item (in uncommitted session state). That's the change from 1.6.
What is an example of a "session-state committing source method"? Code that not only sets the source of the item for display but as a side-effect cause update_cache_with_write to occur for that item or for any other item(s). For example a PL/SQL Function source type that returns the source value and also does :P1_ITEM := 'value'; .

Functionality of OE Transactable Item attribute

Hi,
Can anyone explain the functionality of OE Transactable Item attribute.The item can be picked/shipped and interfaced to Inventory module even without enabling this Item attribute.
thanks

Hi
In your case then the 'shippable' flag would have been enabled.
We can have OE transactable flag as disabled even with 'Shippable' flag enabled.
If both these flags are disabled then inventory interface would not be there.
You can use OE transactable in isolation, for items used in forecasting and planning like product families

MPP, MPS/MPP, MRP/MPP Type(In Item Attribute)

What is the difference between we use MPP, MPS/MPP, MRP/MPP Type(In Item Attributes)?

Lokesh,
ASCP Release 11i10 included a significant number of enhancements related to master scheduling, two level scheduling, and hub & spoke processes. At that time, Oracle was also planning the release of a major new product offering Distribution Planning (also called Deployment planning), this was introduced in Release 12. As part of these improvements, Oracle changed the traditional name for DRP plans to MPP (Master Production Plans) to avoid any confusion with the newly created DRP product. The old functionality of having multiple plans work together (DRP,MPS,MRP) in a chained fashion still works, but the names are now (MPP,MPS,MRP)
The item attributes were changed as shown below:
- Not Planned
- MRP Planning
- MPS Planning
- MRP/MPP Planned
- MPS/MPP Planned <<-- formerly MPS/DRP planned
- MPP Planned <<-- formerly DRP planned
These attributes have the same meaning as before and a full description can be found in the Oracle MRP/Master Scheduling User Guide

Kevin Creel

Problem with Configurator - Cannot Update Item Attributes for a Config item

Hi!
We configured an item to reproduce the following feature of Oracle Configurator in our business case (Oracle Configurator Modeling Guide - 115czmod.pdf): «For example, if you have raw materials that are ordered by lengths, do not create an item for each length. Instead, define a single item for each raw material with an attribute: Length. Then capture the needed length from the end user by a numeric input or from a List of Options, and associate that input with the attribute.»
However, after we run the AutoCreate Configuration Items program the item was created in the Item Master but no Attribute was updated with the user defined values (within OConfigurator).
We associated Item Attributes to Propoerties and these are associated to Feature Options.
we wish to have the Item Descriptive Element Values (Item Catalog)
transferred from the Configurator run time, after we configure any item.
This is because we are working with item dimensions, such as length and width.
We need to define these dimensions during the Configurator run time and have them transferred into the final configuration so that we can use them later on manufacturing. We wish to display these dimensions on a job.
Support said that "The descriptive element value for the configuration item is copied from the model. This process will not look at the properties in the configurator.
You may consider using the custom hook for catalog descriptions to get the selected attributes from CZ to the descriptive elements for the config item. Please see Custom CTO Packages under Setup page 2-63 in CTO Process Guide for more details."
I'm trying to implement the suggested solution.
I've customized user_catalog_desc procedure on CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package to populate the item catalog values.
I'm failing to find the descriptive element values defined on configuratior for a specific inventory item id.
I have managed to found a relation between "p_params.p_item_id" given in procedure user_catalog_desc and
the configurated item_id in order to update the catalog data on the CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC package.
This is what I've done:
procedure user_catalog_desc (
p_params IN CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.inparams,
p_catalog_dtls IN OUT NOCOPY CTO_CUSTOM_CATALOG_DESC.catalog_dtls_tbl_type,
x_return_status OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2)
is
begin
declare
counter number;
i number;
l_value varchar2(30);
begin
-- Put your logic here in such a way that you populate p_catalog_dtls
-- parameter. p_catalog_dtls is a array of records. The attributes of
-- this record are cat_element_name and cat_element_value.
-- viz. record (
-- cat_element_name varchar2(30),
-- cat_element_value varchar2(30)
-- Example : p_catalog_dtls(1).cat_element_value := 'XYZ';
-- IMPORTANT : DO NOT ALTER THE VALUE OF cat_element_name . Doing so will
-- result in incorrect or inconsistent behaviour.
-- Make sure you set the x_return_status variable to one of the following:
-- FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS to indicate success
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_ERROR to indicate failure with expected status
-- FND_API.FND_API.G_RET_STS_UNEXP_ERROR to indicate failure with unexpected status
select count(*) into counter from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES
where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id;
for i in 1 .. counter loop
select
distinct to_char(nvl(cz.input_num_val,cz.item_num_val)) into l_value
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_all oeh
, CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oeh.order_number in (
select distinct oeh.order_number
from OE_ORDER_LINES_V oe
, oe_order_headers_v oeh
where oe.header_id = oeh.header_id
and oe.inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_id)
and cz.ps_node_name = p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_name
and oe.config_header_id = cz.config_hdr_id
and oe.config_header_id in (select distinct cz.config_hdr_id from CZ_CONFIG_CONTENTS_V cz)
and cz.ps_node_name in (select element_name from MTL_DESCR_ELEMENT_VALUES where inventory_item_id = p_params.p_item_
id);
p_catalog_dtls(i).cat_element_value := l_value;
end loop;
x_return_status := FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS;
end user_catalog_desc;
end;
Although the customization seam correct the AutoCreate Configuration Items process
terminates with warning, and the catalog info is not updated as expected.
Can anyone help me on this?
Many thanks in advance.
Paulo Santos

How did you solve this issue? During my testing I found there to be no link to the order lines when I was within this program. Therefore I am having issues getting the configuration information to populate the catalog. Is there a link and I just was doing it wrong? Thanks for any help!
Thanks,
Angela

Use of planning characteristics vs navigation attributes in APO DP

I am using APO DP V5.
I have a product characteristic.
Products are grouped into 'product groups'.
I want to be able to run stat forecasts at the 'product group' level, and also adjustments via key figures at the 'product group' level.
For the 'product group', I could set up a planning characteristic or a navigation attribute.
What are the pros/cons of setting up a planning characteristic or navigation attribute, bearing in mind the need to forecast and make adjustments at this level?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
The pros for using navigatyion attribute are quite easy: it will give you far more flexibility.
For example in case of change of hierarchy, you will not need to run realignment.
It simplify in the same way the data loading.
Now the cons: there is still some limitations: you can without any problem run stat forecast and adjustment for a navigation attribute. The only limitations I can remember are for promotion and store the assigment of a forecast profile to a selection (see /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 - Assign Forecast Profiles to a Selection ).
this point might, or not, be the issue for you: do you plan to use the automatic forecast profile selection? If yes, then I suggest you to test it with navigation attributes; but as far I know it will fail. (note: I think there is workaround with a badi implementation, but can't remember which one now)
I hope it helps

Plan cost line items for cost centers report

Hello,
I am displaying the report: Plan cost line items for cost centers and when I display the details of a line item it appears a document number, where could I display this document?
I have tried to display it in FB03 transaction but it seems not to be this kind of document.
On the other hand in the field Business transaction it appears RKP6, what is the meaning of this field?
Thank you very much

Hi Beatriz Amezua ,
For displaying plan line items for cost center - KSBP and for display of individual plan document : KABP
RKP6 means "Planning Activity Dependent Costs"
Like in FI module, the business transaction have been codified and the list you can find in KANK transaction , mention your controlling area, menu -- Groups -- Display Groups

Line item attributes

why we use line item attributes for account dimension

Line item detail provides a mechanism to collect detailed information about a balance in HFM.

Why to use Item Attribute with Event in case of some controls

A question about Event.Item
When i saw the example of MenuBar , i observed that we can get the data of the MenuBar clciked using a Event.Item@label .
I am having a question here , please tell me why Flex Framework is designed in such a way that getting data from the Controls is different for different controls .
I mean to ask why is it different in ncase of a MenuBar we have to use Event.item@label .
CXan anybody please tell me why what significance does an Item attribute have in case of a Event ??
Thanks in advance .

It looks like you probably have ProductID setup as your key attribute. The key attribute has to be unique as it defines the granularity of your dimension. So based on the data you have shown ItemID should possibly be the key attribute.

MVC Problem with getter method of table attribute in model class

Hi,
I am on 620 SP34. I am writing a bsp application with mvc. One of the model classes has an attribute of type table. I use this attribute in a htmlb-tableview and '//MODEL/ZMY_TAB' for data binding. If I try to activate a getter method for this attribute, the application dumps with exception <i>BSP exception: Structure component with name "ZMY_TAB" does not exist</i>. I find the SAP source, that raising this exception (see below). The source code looks like: <i>"I don't support getter methods for tables in attribute path"</i>! The setter method works fine, so I am at a loss. Has anyone of you wrote a getter method for an table attribute in bsp-mvc? Have I to consider anything special?
Thanks,
Carsten
Main Program CL_BSP_MODEL==================CP
Source code of CL_BSP_MODEL==================CM00Z
METHOD IF_BSP_MODEL_BINDING~GET_ATTRIBUTE_DATA_REF
       * check if attribute exists for binding!
         if exists_attribute( l_name ) is initial.
           return.
         endif.
* setter or getter defined? Not supported for DATA REF requests
         if get_getter( attribute_name = l_name ) is not initial.
           raise exception type cx_bsp_inv_component
             exporting name = l_name.
         endif.

You have two options:
1. Make your attributes public. It should work fine.
2. If you need to process the attribute values before it is used, you can make the attribute private but will need three methods
GET_T_ZMY_TAB that returns the table
SET_T_ZMY_TAB that sets the values
GET_M_T_ZMY_TAB that returns DDIC information about the attribute. The same holds good for structures(Change to GET_S_ and GET_M_S_ ) and simple attributes(Change to GET_ and GET_M_).
The set and get methods are kind of documented at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fb/fbb84c20df274aa52a0b0833769057/content.htm but there is no mention of the GET_M_ methods. I could not find one single document on the Model part MVC.
Once I added the GET_M_XYZ methods to my attributes, my BSPs started to work fine.
Cheers
