PO for set of materials
Hi,
I have a scenario which is to be mapped in SAP, please guide me how to map.
Scenario : Whenever I create a PO, i will create it for a set of materials. Example if I am ordering material A then I will have to order B,C,D,E. I dont want to enter all these materials manually as there might be chances of missing few materials. If I create a BOM with A as the parent material and other materials as child material it will work only for subcontracting scenario, but I dont want to use item category L as I always create standard PO for this material.
Please guide how to map this in SAP
Thanks and Regards
Pavan
The only option i see without including any code is to always create the PO for material A, B,C,D,E with ref to an old PO, which has already been created- using document over view "on" . Take an old PO, drag and drop it in the basket in me21n, in that way you would not be missing any line items.
other than this, including a code is the only option, "enhancement" in short
regards,

How to exclude a set of materials from cycle counting physical inventory
How to exclude a set of materials from cycle counting physical inventory
Details:
Set of material to be uploaded to SAP on say Jan-2011 from another system with cc indicator D:once
in a year and fixed,before uploading into SAP physical inventory will be done .
So we donot want again those materials to fall in the cycle counting in the same year.
So is there a method to exclude these materials from CC counting for the year 2011
or is there some way to upload last inventory count date in SAP system so that it will exclude those
materials?
Any answers will be appreciated.
Thanks
BijayHI Antony
Thank you for your reply.
If material count is less than this method is well valid.
IN our case there are 7lakhs materials and having diff cc indicator A,B,C,D...
So it will cumbersome for client to keep track of all those materials when to update cc indicator.
So any other thought? can we upload last count date while updating materials details or similar
Thanks

For Externally Procured Materials (ex - ROH) - SG's are maintained or not?
Hello
Do I need to maintain SG's ( like SG10, 40, 70) for ROH as these are externally procured?
As I see since ROH are externally procured, no need to maintain the SG (10, 40, 70,etc) in MRP 3 view of the ROH* material master as SG's (10, 40, 70)* are meant for maintianing PIRS & PIRs means it is inhouse production
Iam not limiting myself to SG's (10,40, 70) for ROH, instead any SG need not be maintained for ROH (externally procured)
If I want to see that ROH materials get consumed by the FERT then maintain SG 40/70 for the FERT/HALB (inhouse production) that should consume the ROH (externally procured)
Questions:
Q.For externally procured materials do I need to maintain the SG?
Q. If no need to maintain SG's for externally procured materials then what fields do I need to maintain to see that externally procured material which are used in the finished product gets consumed by sales orders?
Please clarify
Thank YouPradeep
Thank you for your reply & time
If the component is semifinished & is externally procured, then following settings needs to be maintained
Procurement Type : F
Special Procurement Key : 30 (subcontracting)
But Subcontracting(30) is used when we want semifinshed product to be manufactured outside the company from a raw material issued by the company
& control key we maintain is PP02
In above scenario, then we go for subcontracting or else we need not maintain the subcontracting
Please clarify

Object Type for Bill of Materials
What is the object type for bill of materials? I am trying to add the code that updates the finished good item sales weight according to the weight of the Bill of Materials. Only one item in the bill of materials actually contains weight information so there is no conflict regarding cross units of measure. So, the finished good will have the same weight as the raw materials.
Here is what I have so far. Though I'm not sure what the Object Type is for Bill of Materials. I'm also unsure about some of my code - Please review my code as well.
IF (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' OR @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U') AND @OBJECT_TYPE = '68'
BEGIN
UPDATE OITM SET
SWeight1 = (SELECT SUM(dbo.OITM.BWeight1) AS Weight
FROM dbo.OITM INNER JOIN dbo.ITT1 ON dbo.OITM.ItemCode = dbo.ITT1.Code
GROUP BY dbo.ITT1.Father
HAVING (dbo.ITT1.Father = @LIST_OF_COLS_VAL_TAB_DEL)),
SWght1Unit = (SELECT dbo.OITM.BWght1Unit
FROM dbo.OITM INNER JOIN dbo.ITT1 ON dbo.OITM.ItemCode = dbo.ITT1.Code
GROUP BY dbo.ITT1.Father, dbo.OITM.BWght1Unit
HAVING(dbo.ITT1.Father = @LIST_OF_COLS_VAL_TAB_DEL) AND (dbo.OITM.BWght1Unit IS NOT NULL))
WHERE ItemCode = @LIST_OF_COLS_VAL_TAB_DEL
END
ThanksI found it. The object type is 66 Product Tree. It appears my code works as well - yeah!

My problem is that I have been a Mobile Me user for the past couple of years, and because of that a second Apple ID was generated in addition to the one I've been using for years. When iCloud was introduced last fall I did everything I was supposed to in setting it up, but it is evident that the syncing is not working as it should. In checking, I am certain this is because I now have two active Apple IDs. I would assume this is a common issue with all who were/are Mobile Me users.
The online help says you can't merge two IDs. Okay. What I want to do is to get rid of the Moble Me ID and only use my regular Apple ID. But the help on that issue seems to only give instructions for setting up the iCloud account. It seems that when I go into my iCloud accounts, both on my iPhone and my Mac, I can view the ID but there is no way to change them to another ID or to eliminate the account.
Please help. I am a long-time Apple user and this really should be a fairly simple matter to take care of, but this is one issue where the normally user-friendly Apple way of life is giving me fits. Thanks.I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!
The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problemIf it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem. -
Excise Invoice Tab in MIGO for non-codified materials
Hi!
While doing MIGO against PO, for non-codified materials ( No material code, Account assignment in P.O - F), Excise Invoice Tab Pop-Up is coming in MIGO. There is no excise related master data maintained in J1ID.
What could be the reason? Can any body suggest in this reg..
I am using ECC 6.0
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi ChandHi,
These options are coming from Excise Group settings.
Go to : SPRO-Logistics General-Tax on Goods movements-India-Basic settings-Maintain Excise Groups-in 'MIGO Settings' tab, select the check boxes, accordingly you will get the options in Excise Tab of MIGO screen.
Hope this will resolve your issue.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.
You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I have a report to list top N sources of data. For my report, I have 12 prompt fields excluding the prompt for setting the top N value. The report is working fine with the 12 prompts some of which are constrained. All the prompts have "All Choices" as default values. The moment I add the prompt for the top N, the constrained prompts do not show any value in the drop-down. To provide a little more perspective, this is what I have done to create the top N prompt:
Used any random field and then changed the fx with hard value 1. Selected "Edit Box" for the control. The specific value has been set to 5. Using a presentation variable.
However, if I add this prompt with its own "Go" button, then I do not see the issue described above. I would not like to have 2 "Go" buttons.
Please let me know what I am missing here to make it work.
Thanks.
BhusanAs you said, 'All the prompts have "All Choices" ', this is one of the requirement's for the constrain to work. I believe that to get the constrain values, you might have used a SQL query
and you are getting the values. In that case, as per my knowledge, you cannot constrain a dashboard prompt when you are using SQL Results.
Constrained columns will be constrained by all other columns in the prompt. For example, if the prompt contains columns Year, Region, and District, and Constrain is checked for District, the values shown in District will be limited by the values entered in Region and Year.
Thanks,
Chandu. -
Error message "Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_PUR_1
Hi
While replicating the material master through R3AS I am getting an error for which the details to be checked in SMW01. In SMW01 when I selected the record for error details I am getting above error message. How to resolve ? Pls guide me stepwise. For your information I has cleared SMQ1 in R3 & SMQ2 in SRM
For curioisity next I selected all such error logs & deleted. It gave me one warning (some inconstinecies error) which I ignored. After that I checked SMQ1 of R3 & SMQ2 of SRM. No log
But I observed a strange thing. Whatever material codes I am creating it is going straightway to SRM without running R3AS transaction. I checked R3AM1, selected the row and cancelled. But still going without any interferrance. Why ? How shall I stop this.

Best Practice for setting up an office with an extreme
I am looking for some great info for setting up a Business Network using Comcast Business Highspeed. I rencently purchased an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express for a network extender and I am trying to understand what the optimal setup is for this kind of setup. Comcast provides a modem that manages DHCP but I am not sure if it makes sense to use the Airport Extremes built in DHCP or setup the Extreme as a bridge to the Modem and let DHCP be handled there. I am expecting to have anywhere from 30-60 devices on the network depending on the day. Is there any info out there that would help me better understand Apple's recomendation or do any of you have some good info for me? Thanks for the help in advance.
Unless the Comcast modem/router or gateway device has an available option to be configured as a simple modem.....and....this type of configuration is supported by Comcast, the decision about DHCP service has already been made for you.
In that case, configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to allow the Comcast modem/router to control the routing functions on the network. You will have to check with Comcast to insure that the DHCP range of the modem/router will supply an adequate number of IP addresses to meet your needs.
That would probably mean a pool of at least 100 or more IP addresses.
Connect the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme if you want optimum bandwidth performance for the network.
Keep in mind that all devices will share the same Internet connection bandwidth, so if you have 50 devices on the network at one time, and you have a 50 Mbps Internet connection, each device will be allowed about 1 Mbps of bandwidth.
That may...or may not.....be adequate for your needs depending on how active the devices will be at the time.
If 50 users are all trying to update their email simultaneously, things are going to be sluggish. -
(Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC
Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server. (This
will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
Specifically, your best practices regarding:
the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,
the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),
IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,
disk caching settings on both host and guests.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.

Best practices for setting up projects
We recently adopted using Captivate for our WBT modules.
As a former Flash and Director user, I can say it’s
fast and does some great things. Doesn’t play so nice with
others on different occasions, but I’m learning. This forum
has been a great source for search and read on specific topics.
I’m trying to understand best practices for using this
product. We’ve had some problems with file size and
incorporating audio and video into our projects. Fortunately, the
forum has helped a lot with that. What I haven’t found a lot
of information on is good or better ways to set up individual
files, use multiple files and publish projects. We’ve decided
to go the route of putting standalones on our Intranet. My gut says
yuck, but for our situation I have yet to find a better way.
My question for discussion, then is: what are some best
practices for setting up individual files, using multiple files and
publishing projects? Any references or input on this would be
appreciated.Hi,
Here are some of my suggestions:
1) Set up a style guide for all your standard slides. Eg.
Title slide, Index slide, chapter slide, end slide, screen capture,
non-screen capture, quizzes etc. This makes life a lot easier.
2) Create your own buttons and captions. The standard ones
are pretty ordinary, and it's hard to get a slick looking style
happening with the standard captions. They are pretty easy to
create (search for add print button to learn how to create
buttons). There should instructions on how to customise captions
somewhere on this forum. Customising means that you can also use
words, symbols, colours unique to your organisation.
3) Google elearning providers. Most use captivate and will
allow you to open samples or temporarily view selected modules.
This will give you great insight on what not to do and some good
ideas on what works well.
4) Timings: Using the above research, I got others to
complete the sample modules to get a feel for timings. The results
were clear, 10 mins good, 15 mins okay, 20 mins kind of okay, 30
mins bad, bad, bad. It's truly better to have a learner complete
2-3 short modules in 30 mins than one big monster. The other
benefit is that shorter files equal smaller size.
5) Narration: It's best to narrate each slide individually
(particularly for screen capture slides). You are more likely to
get it right on the first take, it's easier to edit and you don't
have to re-record the whole thing if you need to update it in
future. To get a slicker effect, use at least two voices: one male,
one female and use slightly different accents.
6) Screen capture slides: If you are recording filling out
long window based databse pages where the compulsory fields are
marked (eg. with a red asterisk) - you don't need to show how to
fill out every field. It's much easier for the learner (and you) to
show how to fill out the first few fields, then fade the screen
capture out, fade the end of the form in with the instructions on
what to do next. This will reduce your file size. In one of my
forms, this meant the removal of about 18 slides!
7) Auto captions: they are verbose (eg. 'Click on Print
Button' instead of 'Click Print'; 'Select the Print Preview item'
instead of 'Select Print Preview'). You have to edit them.
8) PC training syntax: Buttons and hyperlinks should normally
be 'click'; selections from drop down boxes or file lists are
normally 'select': Captivate sometimes mixes them up. Instructions
should always be written in the correct order: eg. Good: Click
'File', Select 'Print Preview'; Bad: Select 'Print Preview' from
the 'File Menu'. Button names, hyperlinks, selections are normally

9) Instruction syntax: should always be written in an active
voice: eg. 'Click Options to open the printer menu' instead of
'When the Options button is clicked on, the printer menu will open'
10) Break all modules into chapters. Frame each chapter with
a chapter slide. It's also a good idea to show the Index page
before each chapter slide with a progress indicator (I use an
animated arrow to flash next to the name of the next chapter), I
use a start button rather a 'next' button for the start of each
chapter. You should always have a module overview with the purpose
of the course and a summary slide which states what was covered and
they have complete the module.
11) Put a transparent click button somewhere on each slide.
Set the properties of the click box to take the learner back to the
start of the current chapter by pressing F2. This allows them to
jump back to the start of their chapter at any time. You can also
do a similar thing on the index pages which jumps them to another
chapter.
12) Recording video capture: best to do it at normal speed
and be concious of where your mouse is. Minimise your clicks. Most
people (until they start working with captivate) are sloppy with
their mouse and you end up with lots of unnecessarily slides that
you have to delete out. The speed will default to how you recorded
it and this will reduce the amount of time you spend on changing
timings.
13) Captions: My rule of thumb is minimum of 4 seconds - and
longer depending on the amount of words. Eg. Click 'Print Preview'
is 4 seconds, a paragraph is longer. If you creating knowledge
based modules, make the timing long (eg. 2-3 minutes) and put in a
next button so that the learner can click when they are ready.
Also, narration means the slides will normally be slightly longer.
14) Be creative: Capitvate is desk bound. There are some
learners that just don't respond no matter how interactive
Captivate can be. Incorporate non-captivate and desk free
activities. Eg. As part of our OHS module, there is an activity
where the learner has to print off the floor plan, and then wander
around the floor marking on th emap key items such as: fire exits;
first aid kit, broom and mop cupboard, stationary cupboard, etc.
Good luck!
