Possible fonctionalities with SAP MM

Hello
Could you confirm that with SAP MM I can deal with automatic creation of purchase orders from a flat file (with Idocs or BAPI solutions) and that the creation of the purchase order can generate an EDI message to send the order to the supplier ?
I think that it is possible only with MM and that SRM is not required for these functions ?
Thank you

Hello Maxime,
Yes you can create purchase order from flat file with IDoc/ EDI,
Check out the FAQs on Purchasing EDI.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to Replace faxserver with SAP PI.

Hi,
Current scenario which is running:
ECC>Faxserver> Faxmachines
upgrade to PI by replacing fax machine:
ECC>PI>Faxmachine/Faxserver
We have to send the message by dialling to the fax machine..
Right now, the file/message is sent from ECC to faxserver which inturn dial to the receiver fax machine.
Now we got a proposal of replacing this fax server with SAP PI. Is there any way we can replace this fax server with PI by using some custom adapter?
Does anyone done this kind of scenario?
Is there any custom adapter module we can write to handle in PI instead of using Faxserver?
I think this is not possible to replace? Any suggestions please?
Thanks
Deepthi

Hi Abhishek,
Thank you. I will check about the webservice with the vendors.
Meanwhile we got few small vendors whom doesn't have any other option other than receiving orders through Fax machine. So I'm just wondering is there any way we can send messages directly to their fax machine from PI (may be using Mail adapter)..
I was going through below link and looks like there is a way by using mail adapter...?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/af/73563c1e734f0fe10000000a114084/content.htm
Exchanging faxes and text messages (pager/SMS) using SMTP is also possible. For this, faxes and messages are packed as e-mails. For the send process, the mail server analyzes the domain of the recipient addresses and either forwards the e-mails to an internal fax-/text message server (for example SMS=491759628717 at sms-server.company.com) or to an external provider (for example FAX=16105954900 at fax-provider.com).
What do you think?
Thanks

Is possible to Integrate SAP BCM with Third party?

Hello Everyone,
Some of you can tell me if Is possible to integrate SAP BCM with another solution IBM ITSM?
The integration would also have the screen pop up the same or similar to SAP CRM.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Rodrigo Lucas

Hi Rodrigo,
There is the ClientCOM interface!
The interface is an application programming interface (API) to a softphone client Communication
Desktop (CDT). This client application is based on the Microsoft Internet Explorer, and they can
handle telephone calls by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology.
This interface defines a subset of the events and commands that are important to third-party
developers. Currently it is used finding out who is calling, and making outbound calls, playing
files to outbound callers.
You can download ClientCOM interface document in SAP Marketplace.

Is conditional prompt possible with SAP BO AO Excel?

Hi folks,
Is conditional prompt possible i.e the "prompt" should appear only when the measure is used in the report?
Is this kind of feature possible with SAP BO AO on HANA?
Regards,
Krishna Tangudu

Could you clarify?
Do you mean conditional formatting?
If against HANA, I am not sure as the SAP help doesn't specifically mention it:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AMS14/en/14SP7_aaoffice_user_en.pdf
See page 141 - Source: SAP help

Possible scenarios with XI, SAP AutoId, RFID combination.

Hi All,
Could you please provide the answers to the below questions
1. What all possible scenarios we can do with SAP AutoId using RFID datas?
2. I would like to do scenarios with and without SAP Netweaver XI for the above case. Please provide some scenario examples.
Regards
Sara

Hi Sara,
The possible scenarios of SAP Auto ID are many. You can have a detailed documentation on th esupported processes by SAP Auto ID on the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_autoid70/helpdata/en/5f/064f36300247b686bf0233454dbeb1/frameset.htm
Without using XI, you will not be able to integrated with SAP ERP.
So only process thats possible wihtout XI in SAP Auto ID is Slap and Ship Process. The same process has also been explained in the above link.
I hope this helps. Please revert if you any other doubts.

De-link PPM Item with SAP Project

Hello,
Can somebdoy throw a light on what to do in case I want to de-link a PPM-item with SAP project.This situation may rise if I want to change the project actuals going to bucket A to bucket B.As I can not change the relationship of an item with the bucket, I am looking for alternate solution where I can de-link SAP Project with SAP PPM item.
thank you!
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra
If you are meaning to de-link a PS Project from a PPM Item, you can from the Item navigate to the 'Relationships' tab and then on the 'object links'sub-tab select and delete the assignment:
You can also remove a cProject relationship by clicking the 'Related Objects' sub-tab
Your comment that you cannot move an Item to a new Bucket - is this because your business process does not allow you to do so? Because this is definitely possible in the system.
Let me know if you have any further questions as I am not sure I have addressed your question

Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

Hello experts,
I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
- Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos Henrique Matos da Silva - SAP BusinessObjects BI - Brazil.

I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
Thanks in advance,

Hi Philipp
My version is 700 and the database is DB2/400 for IBM System i.
The sapcrypto is treated differently on this platform, so I havent done anything with it as yet.
I logged a message with SAP which has gone to the BC-JAS-SEC queue and the reply I received is below. Please let me know if this has helped you as I have not had the chance to get back to the system to try these steps :
regards
Michael.
To do the further investigation, may I check info below with you:
- are you able to read the content of the
/sapbwtest/global/security/lib/tools/iaik_jce.jar file with jar
- do you have the full strength JCE files installed for this JDK?
See note: 739043
- What user is used to connect to the Database from the java side in
the secure store? check if the password is correct or the user
is unlocked.
Make sure the connection details in Secure Store are the correct ones
you can check it in the config tool:
the jdbc/pool/<SID>/Password and jdbc/pool/<SID>/User

Xcelsius with SAP R/3 Datasource

Hello,
I want to create Xcelsius Dashboard based on SAP R/3 Data. I have no possibility to access on a Business Warehouse. So I thought, I can create a suitable Crystal Report and create a connection on Xcelsius to this report.
Now I read that Live Office is required for this access. Is this right? How can I access via Live Office on this CR? Is this like a spreadsheet?
Or are there other possibilities to solve this? I have no possibility to create a universe. I already checked this.
Thanks for your answers in advance.

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

Installation of SAP Netweaver 7.0 with SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70 backend

Hello everybody,
I need to install an SAP Netweaver 7.0 environment for a client who is currently using SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70. However, I couldn't find any document about the compatibility of the two.
Does anybody know if it is possible to connect these versions of Netweaver and R/3?
Could you please tell me where I could get some documentation about it (for example : intallation guide of netweaver with SAP R/3 4.7 or docs about netweaver and R/3 4.7 connectivity) ?
Thank you.
Stan

OK thanks.
The final need is to be able to create purchase requisitions or purchase orders in the enterprise portal with a simplified user interface for users who are not used to working with SAP and don't have the SAP client installed on their computer.
So they will use their web browser to connect to the portal and create the requisition for example. Then we wan't the data to be stored in the R/3 backend et other users will validate the requisition and deal with the rest of the process.
The second step will be to study the benefits we could get from installing Adobe document services and creating an adobe interactive form to simplify even more the user interface. The users would then fill the data for the purchase order or requisition directly in the form that looks like the form they get when printing.
I saw that we have to install the "R/3Plug-In 2004.1" in the backend to use our SAP 4.7 as a data source for the Portal.
Do you know if there are other steps to perform in the backend before we link it to the portal ?
Thank you
Stan

SAP R/3 4.7e with SAP XI

Dear Experts,
I want to install SAP R/3 4.7e along with SAP XI 7.0 on a single system (WINDOWS 2003 + ORACLE).
Is it possible to do is? If yes, please help me and provide links to related documents on SDN.
Regards,
Younus

Even in Sandbox landscape having R/3 & XI on the samebox is not recommended.
Moreover SAP R/3E & XI 7.0 don't have the same WebAs version(R/3 WebAS- 6.40 & XI WebAs -7.00). Hence they cannot be installed due to product compatibility. It should be atleast ECC 6.0.

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

Jitesh Talreja
