Portfolio Type dependent Item Types

Hi,
Is there a way in which we can restrict the item types to a particular portfolio type?
During the creation of an item, the item types relevant for that portfolio type should only be displayed for selection.
Please let me know on how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Also, just a heads-up:
If you enable this feature while rendering obsolete any older Item Types, the "Item Type" field in the Item Details screen of older Items will display its Code and not its Text values. Not to worry though if the Items are closed or in final state (and no longer require modification), as the Item Dashboard will still show textual values regardless of portfolio-specific settings.
Crisis averted there.
True scenario:
I made this change fairly recently along with modifying Project Templates. The requirement was to change template/standard project structures, and I thought it best practice to retain and simply "Flag as Obsolete" any older templates. The major change in the template was that the the number of Phases in the new template are now less than the template to be retired. Some projects were already in-flight and we could not simply reuse the old Item Types (and modify their DPs) as while testing I found that the deleted DPs would:
Display in the UI with their code values (like 'ZDP001')
Disallow status updates, and
Automatically set the "Active DP" flag for the deleted DP, within items with final DP set to final status. (i.e. project is ready to close)
The result was that Items couldn't be closed properly! Either way, the above approach caused data inconsistencies so it was unacceptable. Hence, this would be one practical reason to maintain portfolio-dependent item types
Just for reference, here's what the configuration looked like, with Portfolio-Dependent Settings and default/Permitted Item Types:
Portfolio-Dependent Item Types:
Default Templates: (shows obsolete Item Type codes)
Item Type field displayed as code in Item Details:
(Note: In standard, this field is set to Read-Only, but for the sake of illustration I'm showing you the valid item types in the dropdown --- and it does NOT include the obsolete Item Type 'Z001')
Solution:
Implement the following OSS Note:
Note 1953807 - Item Type ID is displayed in Item Overview
I hope this helps you get out of a pickle, before your users even get to that state.

Problem in using nested dependent items with jheadstart 1013

Dear JHeadstart Team,
Suppose we We have 3 following tables ( z is child of y and y is child of x) and we have a view object which have joined all 3 tables together. we have
mad a page on this view.
x (
code1 PK
,Name
y ( code2 PK
,x_code
Z ( code3 PK
, y_code2
MyViewObject contains the following fields : z.code3,z.y_code2,y.x_code,y.code2,x.name,x.code
I want that when a user enter a valid value in y_code2 field it automatically retrieve related information of that code and show it. we set "depends on
item property" of x_code ,code2,name ,code1 to y_code2 but when user enters value for y_code2, only code2,x_code get correct value and
code1,name remain null. I also set "depends on item property" of code1,name to code2. I hoped that with changing the value of code2, these field got
correct value but again these fields remained null.
To simplify the situation I removed the x table from view object and add a transient field to view object (which use a database function with this format
getXName (y.x_code) ) but surprisingly enough It did not work either.
These seemed to me something like bug. Am I right? Is there any workaround for these problems ?
What is the best solution for implementing this functionality ?
Best Regards,
Navid
P.S. We are using JHeadsart 10.1.3 Service update 1 and jdeveloper 10.1.3

Dear Steven,
Thank you very much for your paying attention to this matter. I checked the adf bc tester and I realized that when I filled y_code2 only the fields in the y table were automatically updated. To simplify the problem I made a simple project based on the HR schema objects using JHeadstart . I add country and location to department view object and checked it with adf bc tester. I realized that when I enter value in locationId in the department view only location fields are automatically updated and country fields remain null. I also used your techniques in the "What to do when ADF BC Tester does not update the lookup item" section but it does not work either. I think that maybe the normal behavior of ADF is to just fetch only the first level lookup information and ADF does not care to fetch information of lookup of lookup ( I mean nested lookup).
I understand now that my problem is not a JHeadstart related issue however any help,reference or link to implement such functionality would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Navid

Item B values are not changing When i select multiple values in Item A. Please guide me how colud i acheive this requirement.
Please help me on this
Thanks in dvance..

Hi,
The built-in cascading LOV does not work with a Multi-Select parent. It works only with single Select Items.
Multi-select items store a colon separated list of return values.
You will need to write your own DA to accomplish this requirement.
Note, even the WHERE clause in the child LoV will have to change for handling the colon separated values from the parent.
Cheers.

Portfolio items override (xRPM)

Experts,
At our client (xRPM 4.0) ) we have one portfolio type and one portfolio item type. Within this porftfolio type I wouldl like to add a second item type, and based on this item type I want to steer the visibility of data elements on the portal.
However it is not clear to me whether this is possible.
Say: I have field A that is applicable to my one and only portfolio item type. I want it to be visable and required for item type A, but invisible for for item type B. Can this be done?
THe problem I foresee is: In SPRO you can maintain the field configuration based on the portfolio type and item type. This overrides the default field configuration delivered by SAP and the portfolio fields override. However, only you can indicate whether the element is required of not, not whether it is visible for item type 1, and not for item type 2.
Looking forward to your answer.

Hello Wilco,
The setting can only set a field as mandatory (Portfolio wide) and this setting overrides the object configurations. However, we cannot control the visiblity of a field based on Item Type.
Best regards,
Abir

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.

MRP for Order Dependent Bill for similar Item Code

Dear All, . . . .Seeking HELP,
Scenario :
We have one item code (say 12345678) in Sales Order (say ABC) which will be attached by order dependent bill ( BOM will be created and attached to this code as per customer's requirement.)
Now again this item code (12345678) is used in another Sales Order ( say XYZ) and another BOM (not similar to S/O ABC) will be created and attached to this customers requirement.
In such scenario I need MRP to be run & consolidated requirement to be generated for common item code (12345678) with multiple order dependent BOMs.
(In above scenario items which are appearing in BOM have unique material group and all items need to be purchased and not to be manufactured)
How it will be configured in SAP ?
Thanking you in advance
Ravi Jadav

Dear Mr.Ravi
Please maintain the following in your case :
1.Goto MMR-Enter Dependent Item as per BOM list -Select MRP4 view -Keep Individiaul /Collective Indiactor as 2
2..Goto MMR-Enter Dependent Item as per BOM list -Select MRP1 view -Keep Lot Sixe as Period Lot Size ( WB/MB/TB)
Make sure that , you have following set up in FG level : refer my thread : Setting nedded for creation of Planned Order for Dependent Requirement.
Do not run MRP in MD50 , it will not planned the SFG if you have at Sales Orde level .
Hope it helps

Unknown exception while creating Item: PPM 5.0 (SP11) + NW 7.41 SP03 + ECC 6.0 EHP7

Hi we recently upgraded from PPM 5.0 SP 9 to SP11.
Along with that we did below updates as well.
NW 7.02 SP10 --> NW 7.41 SP03
ECC 6.0 EHP5 --> ECC 6.0 EHP7
During creation of Item we are getting below error
Exception occurred in the update of the application object
Some points I have checked already:
1. New configuring: the complete new set of configuration right from New Portfolio type to item type and related master data.
2. Authorization: I have ACO_SUPER and also ACL access ADMIN and Write at Portfolio and Top bucket, which shows as Inherited. tried adding Create manually at lowest bucket.
3. Old Portfolio's (before upgrade): face same issue for new create however the old ones I can update and save works fine.
4. Basis: There is no Trace we could find relevant, No ST22 dump.
5. Trace: show CuaOwnLuwErrorReset which Im not sure nor is our Basis guy.
6. Market place: Tried searching service market place for CuaOwnLuwErrorReset, No use, tried with spaces too.
7. Basis: Tried verification of Database tables
8. Old Items > Financial Planning shows dump at CX_RPM_DB_UPDATE, developers are checking it out.
9. Developments: No BAdI is called during save.
Any pointers highly appreciated
Rgds,
Niranjan

Ravi,
Thanks for the pointers. But from configuration perspective its all good I believe.
Answers in bold
1) Is this issue persisted before upgrade also?
    NO. Earlier it was working fine.
2) Have you enabled automatic project creation in the item type?
     a) If yes, then can you check with an item creation where automatic project creation in not enabled.
          Already tried creation of Item only. Same error. With Check box or without. With template or without.
     b) If issue persists only with automatic project creation,then are you trying to create PPM project or PS project?
          PS is not in picture now, as its linked to release strategy of cProjects (PPM project)
     c) If PS project, can you check for the object links RFC connections?
          The cProjects (PPM project) and PS RFCs are fine. We are on same server so its all good. NONE is what is verified in SM59 already

" Item Category Group" in the material master?

Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
     "Delivery Type" EL    +
     "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
     "Item Usage" V     +
     'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
     ==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.

Mapping of item decision points to PS Network/WBS

Hi,
In PPM 5.0, one of the new features introduced is the mapping of decision points to a PS Network or WBS element. In the configuration map item template to PS, we have the option of choosing the item type and a project definition. The first question that arise is, what are the pre-requisites. I press new entries, enter the item type. In the F1 for PS project it says to enter the field PSPR from the table PROJ. The project system module is in a different system. I have created the RFC destination for the system and in the definition of object links, I have mapped that system for both account assignment WBS element and Network. But the system is unable to fetch the project system project for mapping. Could someone explain the procedure for doing this, as it is not clear from the IMG help?
Regards,
swami

I checked the configuration guide.
In the IMG
Portfolio Independent settings -> Item template to PS project, under sub menu
Item template to PS project
Create new entries
Item template ID (chosen item template)
Object type : By default it shows 0INMPSPD
As per the configuration guide, "You must determine the SAP ERP system to be used for integration into PS by choosing an entry in the object type column". I do not see an appropriate entry for sAP ERP system even though I have created the logical system and RFC destination for the SAP ERP system in which PS resides.
Could some one help me out by guiding how to get the above setting done?
Regards,
Swami

Error when creating a new Portfolio

Hi guys,
When I try to create a new Portfolio, I get the following error message:
"The value of the mandatory input field Portfolio Type is initial"
This error occurs in spite of the field being populated with a valid Portfolio Type.
Can anyone advise what is causing this error, please?
Regards,
Richard Cook

Hi Richard,
I have never seen this error. Are you using a custom portfolio type or one that is configured in PPM by default (ADM, IT...) ?
Check this using for example ADM .....but realy your issue it is very extrange,
Other thing you can do is create the protfolio using transaction RPM_DX_PORTFOLIO.
I hope this can be useful

Best way (folio/bounding) to display a printed portfolio? (Graphic Design question)

Hi all,
Apologies if this isnt posted in the correct forum (but I wasnt able to find any mainstream graphic design forums, I know there is ultrashock but that's more flash based, if anyone could point me to some would be great.)
Any how my question is what is the best portfolio type (paper/binded folder/display sheets) to display printed graphic design work in to potential clients or employers etc?
I had been using protective sheets, but then a client of mine showed me what someone else had done for them and it was displayed in a huge thick A3 bound portfolio (you couldnt see or tell how each peice of paper was bound to the edge). I'm thinking that's what I really need and really professional type looking folio presented like that, but I don't know of what you would call that type of folio/bounding etc.
Any help would be great

I prefer to do wire-o because you can change the pages out as your portfolio changes. I also like to have vellum slip sheets in-between because it looks more professional as well has assure that the prints do not stick together. I prefer to go with printed plastic transparent covers with an emboss as well as foil stampings with double hit blacks consisted of gloss UV coatings in patterns of textiles, but that gets costly.
Other then that, I think you will have more success creating an on line portfolio. Most people don't have the time to look at hard copies, but it's good to have a back up hard copy for face to face situations.

0CS_Item with time-dependent hierarchy

Dear Experts,
we are discussing pros and cons for a time-dependent item catalog (characteristic 0CS_item with time dependent hierarchy in BW) within consolidation SEM BCS 4.0. Does anybody has experiences on this topic?
I am quite sure it will be a performance issue and it means additional reporting effort (e.g. using reference period/year in the report comparing different hierarchies).
I am not sure if there are any other risks so I it would be great if anybody has some hints.
Thanks in advance,
Birgit Laux

Birgit,
Some other things to consider:
- frequency of changes to item hierarchy. Could lead to a lot of item hierarchies in BW over time.
- hierarchy validity date does not seem to be displayed when running web queries and thus makes it difficult for the user to select the correct hierarchy when executing the query. Still looking for a fix for this.
- greater complexity in overall design. Is it really necessary to achieve correct financial statement presentation?
Virtual cube performance is not great but you could implement the data mart which provides typical BW query performance.
I stayed away from setting the item as time dependent for these reasons.

Missing Item Category Group data in Material SD data in CRM

Hi crm experts,
Please help us. We are trying to identify what's the rootcause of the problem we experienced in CRM regarding the Item category group. We are maintaining material master in ECC and it will be replicated in CRM via middleware. The data item category group is properly maintained in ECC but when we checked in CRM, only 3 of the sales areas have it.
Sales Area 1 - YES
Sales Area 2 - NO
Sales Area 3 - YES
Sales Area 4 - YES
So we will do a request load for the data to show also on Sales Area 2.
Item category group were maintained in the ff tables:
ECC table TPTM
CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR
Can you please let us know how we can pin point this problem so that this will not happen again? We want to apply a permanent solution if there is. Hoping for your kind assistance. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mike
