PO creation and GR query

Hi
I am relatively new to the SRM module and I have query for you guys. In extended classic scenario, (or irrespective of deployment scenarios) for PO creation in the backend R/3 system I believe the BAPI is called through RFC and hence PO is created in R/3 synchronously whereas for GR confirmation and invoice posting the ALE/Idoc is used in which case its asynchronous. What exactly is the logic behind this?
Thanks
Rashmi
P.S if anybody has any useful material or write up about these concepts please send it across to [email protected]

Hi Rashmi,
You are correct : BAPI for PO, PR, reservation and idocs for GR and invoice.
Kind regards,
Yann

  • Creation and transportation of query from development to simulation system

    Hello experts,
    I need to create a new Query in the development  system in the General Ledger folder in Financial reporting.  and then I need to transport the same to the  simulation system. what are the correct steps I  need to follow to do the same if have to avoid any issues during this transportation.
    Do I need to do any modifications to the role ZS_XX_BEX_MENU and transport the same?
    Could anyone help me in this regard giving me the exact procedure I need to follow.
    Regards

    No need to modify, but if it is $temp then change it has ur won request.
    follow the genral procedure
    1)In RSA1 Go to Transport tab and collect ur query.
    Drag to right screen
    If it is in $Temp change it to your own request. For this You may need Access.
    2)Query contains all objects which were used in that query.
    if any Info object that are created newly then check for Transport
    3) Then, finally click on transport(Truck) icon
    4) By default, it will collect all new objects including newly created Info Objects also. You can change the collections of your own selection.
    You will get a Request Number here. Please save this Number so that you can check this at SE09
    5) In SE09 search for your Request Number.
    6)Release The request by subsequent process onwards( Means sub contents like infoprovider first and then Query)

  • Dynamic Internal Table creation and population

    Hi gurus !
    my issue refers to the slide 10 provided in this slideshow : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b332e090-0201-0010-bdbd-b735e96fe0ae
    My example is gonna sound dumb, but anyway: I want to dynamically select from a table into a dynamically created itab.
    Letu2019s use only EKPO, and only field MENGE.
    For this, I use Classes cl_abap_elemdescr, cl_sql_result_set and the Data Ref for table creation. But while fetching the resultset, program dumps when fields like MENGE, WRBTR are accessed. Obviously their type are not correctly taken into account by my program.
    Here it comes:
    DATA: element_ref             TYPE REF TO cl_abap_elemdescr,
          vl_fieldname               TYPE string,
                 tl_components         TYPE abap_component_tab,
                 sl_components         LIKE LINE OF tl_components_alv,
    linetype_lcl               TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
    ty_table_type            TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr,
    g_resultset             TYPE REF TO cl_sql_result_set
    u2026
    CONCATENATE sg_columns-table_name '-' sg_columns-column_name INTO vl_fieldname.
    * sg_columns-table_name contains 'EKPO'
    * sg_columns-column_name contains 'MENGE'
    * getting the element as a component
    element_ref ?= cl_abap_elemdescr=>describe_by_name( vl_fieldname ).
    sl_components-name  = sg_columns-column_name.
    sl_components-type ?= element_ref.
    APPEND sl_components TO tl_components.
    * dynamic creation of internal table
    linetype_lcl = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( tl_components ).
    ty_table_type = cl_abap_tabledescr=>create(
                      p_line_type = linetype_lcl ).
    u2026
    * Then I will create my field symbol table and line. Code has been cut here.
    CREATE DATA dy_line LIKE LINE OF <dyn_table>.
    u2026
    * Then I will execute my query. Here itu2019s: Select MENGE From EKPO Where Rownum = 1.
      g_resultset = g_stmt_ref->execute_query( stmt_str ).
    * Then structure for the Resultset is set
      CALL METHOD g_resultset->set_param_struct
        EXPORTING
          struct_ref = dy_line.
    * Fetching the lines of the resultset  => Dumpu2026
      WHILE g_resultset->next( ) > 0.
        ASSIGN dy_line->* TO <dyn_wa>.
        APPEND <dyn_wa> TO <dyn_table>.
      ENDWHILE.
    Anyone has any clue to how prevent my Dump ??
    The component for MENGE seems to be described as a P7 with 2 decimals. And the resultset wanna use a QUAN type... or something like that !

  • Diff. bet ABAP  and SAP Query

    HI
    Anybody can explain in detail about ABAP  and SAP Query.....
    And tell me what is the main diff. bet ABAP  and SAP Query...
    Regards
    S.Baskaran

    SAP Query
    Purpose
    The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
    Features
    SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
    All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
    To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
    ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
    To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly.

  • What is an infoset and infoset query?

    hello  can anyone tell me about
    infoset and infoset query.

    Infoset is based on Joins. Infocube, DSO and infoobject can be used to make infoset.
    How to Create Infoset Query (SAP Query)
    Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
    ADHOC QUERY
    A query can be created to extract information from master records  i.e  Infotypes.  For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
    Proceedure :  
    Decide on  the various Infotypes we  want to make the query.  Decide on the area where we  want to query  i.e  Global area or Standard area.  Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
    Menu : HR – PM – Admn -  Information System -  Adhoc Query
    Select area standard and select the  user group already created
    Creation of new query  :  
    TC SQ03  -  Select Environment – Select Standard Area -  Enter  --  If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and  exit after saving
    TC SQ02  -  Enter name of the Infoset – Create – enter name of Infoset -  Data source -- >  Table join by basis table – give name of table e.g  pa0000 -  Enter -  Click on insert table if we  want to include more tables – give name of table one by one and after finishing,  place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships  - check  - and go back  - field groups  -  include all table fields  - click on generate button   -  go out
    TC SQ03  -  Select user group  -   eg.  Payroll
    Infoset  - Enter name of newly created Infoset 
    Assign users and Infosets  -  Assign infosets  -  put tick on payroll  - save and go back
    TC  PAAH  -  Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
    Save the query  by giving the same name as infoset for easyness.
    If this answer helps, pls assign points.
    Thanx in advance.

  • File-to-file or File-to-RFC for Automatic PO creation and GR creation

    Hi,
    We are on XI 3.0 and the following has been put to me:
    We will receive a .CSV file from FTP server, into XI and then need to create Purchase Orders followed by the Goods Receipt documents in R/3 based on the incoming data.
    Further to this, the requirement is to give a log of the successfule and failed PO + GR document summary to the business.
    The programme in R/3 will compare the incoming file nmame with archived files already processed and will reject any files with duplicate names.
    I was suggesting to go with the file to RFC in R/3 whereby we can have a Z shell BAPI to include the standard BAPI for PO creation and GR creation. This Z code can then be extended to email the log to the business of which records were successfully created and which failed.
    However, I am stumped as to how can I make the file duplication comparison on R/3 as the incoming file will also be stored on R/3 archive somewhere.
    Can this be made when the BAPI is called in XI?
    I can configure alerts when the BAPI is mapped from incoming file for that interface.
    What was suggested also was to pick up the CSV file and thow it as it is in R/3 and then the Z code can go through it and create the PO and GR objects. However, then it does not make much sense to use XI as the middleware platform.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Arcahna

    Hi Archana,

  • Verifying and parsing "query" in cm:select query="..." ...

    I'm writting a session EJB that's passed a param (String query) which is supposed
    to be any valid "query" string passed to the cm:select tag (see "http://edocs.bea.com/wlcs/docs31/p13ndev/jsptags.htm#1057716"
    for more info on this tag and the query param).
    My problem is this: I don't think I should write ALL the stuff to validate and
    parse this string because bea has already done it in: com.beasys.commerce.foundation.expression.*;
    but the only source of documentation available on those classes is the Javadoc(which
    isn't that complete). Has anyone used these classes before(Search, Expression,
    Criteria, Logical)? Does anyone know of some documents on how to use them?
    Please help if you can. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

  • Windows 8 Sysprep - Can't skip local account creation and autologon fails, wrong admin password.

    Using Windows 8 x64 Enterprise, Sysprep pauses to ask me to create a local user, which I don't want.
    If I enable SkipSystemOOBE and SkipUserOOBE in OOBE under Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup sysprep (in oobe mode) will skip user creation and autologon works.  But it only works correctly once.  If I run sysprep again, when it tries to autologon
    it will say that I have the wrong password for the local account.  After I type in the password manually it works.  If I use the same password for the local administrator account as for the autologon account, it looks to have the encrypted password
    twice with an equal sign after it.
    What I need to know:
    How to skip local user account creation (we run on a domain but I have it connect through scripts later)
    How to fix the autologon issue
    Do I need the local administrator account enabled for this to work?

    The user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome is suppressed if a user or a group is added to a local security group. Add a user or a group to a local security group by doing one of the following:
    Create a local user.
    Add a domain user to a local security group with the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup | UserAccounts unattended installation setting.
    To suppress the user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome, without creating a local user, use one of the following workarounds:
    Workaround 1
    If the computer is already joined to a domain, use the following XML example to add the Domain Users security group to the Local Users security group.
    <DomainAccounts>
     <DomainAccountList wcm:action="add">
      <DomainAccount wcm:action="add">
      <Group>Users</Group>
      <Name>Domain Users</Name>
      </DomainAccount>
      <Domain>FabrikamDomain</Domain>
      </DomainAccountList>
    </DomainAccounts>
    Because joining a domain automatically adds the Domain Users security group to the Local Users security group, the DomainAccounts command does not affect the membership of the Local Users group. However, using this XML example to join a domain will also suppress
    the user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome.
    Workaround 2
    Use the Sysprep/Quit command to set the following registry value to 1:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE\UnattendCreatedUser

    Thinking about it, why do you want to design your system like this?
    Why not simply have your purchases table hold the required information and then either work out the inventory on the fly, or have a job that calls a procedure to add a row for the previous day?
    If you continue with this design, you're opening yourself up to a world of pain - what happens when the data doesn't match the purchases table? Also when is the inventory cut-off to reset the opening/closing balances? Monthly? Annually? Weekly? If it's set to one of those, what happens when the business request the inventory for a particular week?

    Hi koen,
    I tried with the FM that you suggested...
    But somehow with the process type 'stock removal' gives an error...
