Posting to SCL4 -- Link an service call and an invoice --

Is there any way to post to SCL4 sooner to create the link between a service order and an expense document.
Currently the link is created after one leaves the service module. That is too late to be functional.
Therefore you cannot grab the service id of the current service order and assign it to the marketing document created while in the service module.
SCL4 creates a strong link between the serivce order and the expense document, it is just too late.
The link is made on exit of the service call.
It would be great if the link was created when the user "Adds" the expense document (sales order or invoice) to B1 while in the service module.
Thanks, David

Yes the field is there SCL4 but the problem is timing. It is posted too late to be meaningful.
While in an invoice, I need to capture the service call ID so that I can assign the service call id to a field in the invoice, and also
import the remarks from the service call to the remarks on the invoice.
The way B1 words is that SCL4 gets populated way too late in the game. The SCL4 table gets populated only after Updating the service call itself. This is after the user has created and exited the invoice.
Any other suggestions for dynamically capturnig the invoice id during invoice creation under a service call?
Thanks, David

Link between Service Call and Marketing documents not working

Hello all,
I found a field in Marketing Documents - Rows data - that should be the link between a Service Call and the Marketing Documents.
The field is for example "INV1.isSrvCall" but, even if I create an Invoice from the Service Call, the field will be populated with the value "N".
Dows anyone knows how to make this field work? Or any workarround to make the connection between a Service Call and the generated documents?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards

The problem with SCL4 is that SAP updates it way too late in the process to be meaningful while in the module. You create a service order, then go into the expense document. That is when we need to know the service call id and the internalsn of the equipment being worked on Only when you get out of the service module do SAP post to SCL4.
The data (before writing to SCL$) exists as a veriable on the original service form. But can we access it from the expense document?
The question is how to access the data (service id) on the original service form from an expense document within the servide module. It is the service form, and that is currently not in focus, so I do not know if you can access it as a varaible, while in the expense document (sales order or invoice) that is in focus.
Can any one help with this/
David

IDispatchMessageInspector.AfterReceiveRequest - bypass service call and return manually response

Hi,
I am using a service behavior class that implements IDispatchMessageInspector.AfterReceiveRequest to handle Health Check Service request that require skipping the actual operation's code and instead manually crafting a response message from "BeforeSendReply".
I want to skip any processing on the request and instead want to return manual response from "BeforeSendReply".
It has been pointed out in various forum threads that setting ref request parameter to null will skip the normal message processing and transition directly to BeforeSendReply. I have tracing enabled on my service and observe that underneath it still tries to
deserialize the message and throws an exception:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.DispatchOperationRuntime.DeserializeInputs(MessageRpc& rpc)
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.DispatchOperationRuntime.InvokeBegin(MessageRpc& rpc)
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.ProcessMessage5(MessageRpc& rpc)
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.ProcessMessage31(MessageRpc& rpc)
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.MessageRpc.Process(Boolean isOperationContextSet)
any idea how can I skip the service call and instead return a manual response back?

This is not correct (setting request to null to bypass the service), unfortunately WCF doesn't have any out-of-the-box way of doing that.
You can, however, use a few more of the extensibility points in WCF to make this scenario work. You'll need at least an IDispatchMessageFormatter (to prevent the message from being read / deserialized since it's not necessary) and an IOperationInvoker (to
actually bypass invoking the service method). You can use the operation context to pass information between those extensibility points.
You can find more information about those three interfaces in my ongoing blog series about WCF extensibility points:
IDispatchMessageInspector: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2011/04/19/wcf-extensibility-message-inspectors.aspx
IDispatchMessageFormatter: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2011/05/03/wcf-extensibility-message-formatters.aspx
IOperationInvoker: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2011/05/17/wcf-extensibility-ioperationinvoker.aspx
The code which uses those extensions to skip the operation based on a decision made in the message inspector:

Join a service call and one serial number?

In admin web tools
Can join a service call and one customer equipment card (serial number) ?

The company sells machines for industry.
Every machine and component has a serial number and u201Ccustomer equipment cardu201D in SBO.
Usually, If the customer has a problem call to company.
1.- SBO user get the u201Ccall serveru201D
2.- SBO user support join the u201Ccall serveru201D and u201Ccustomer equipment cardu201D
3.- SBO user go to call server create a Delivery (works and equipment)
Unfortunately the technical support, works in customer company and usually canu2019t entry to SBO in several days.
We like use the u201Cweb toolsu201D, the technical support uses the web and can see the u201Ccall serveru201D, the Customer and marketing documents.
But canu2019t assign a u201Ccustomer equipment cardu201D to u201Ccall serveru201D and synchronize to SAP and create a Delivery by WEB
Can you proposal a new work flow by web?
Muchas gracias.

Service Call and Invoice For That Service Call

What field relates an invoice created within the service call form under expenses, to the originating service call number. I know it is somewhere but I cannot find it. The invoice needs to know the originating service calll number.

While in an invoice, I need to capture the service call ID so that I can assign the service call id to a field in the invoice, and also

Link Between Service Notification and Sales Order

Hi All,
In our business process, we will create sales order from Service Notification and we can see the same in the Document flow. But when i check in the VBFA table, there are no entries. I would like to know how the document flow is updated without updating the VBFA Table or is there any other table gets updated for this flow.
Please guide me.
With Regards
Vinu.N

Hello Vinu
For one Sales Order # figures in Notification header table- VIQMEL-VBELN.
Similarly Notification # figures in Sales Order Header table- VBAK-QMNUM
That is a solid link right there.
I Also guess technical objects like Equipment, Serial number also form link between the Sales and Service Documents.
Also check out the logic in document flow program RIBELF20, may be it will give you the clues to the problem.
Hope this helps.

Why Service Call and why not call Function module Directly in WD ABAP

Hi,
I have created a Webdynpro applications and the logic requires calling avrious Function modules.
Do I need to create Service Call for each Function module or call them directly.
It would be great if you can suggest me under what cases I need to opt for Service call
For example, if I use 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL', do I need to use Service call or call function module directly.
Note: I have searched forums but could not get the correct answer which I want
Thanks!

The Service Call is really meant to be a wizard/time saver. It has the advantage that it can generate matching context nodes/attributes for the interface of the Function Module you are calling. However everything that the service call does can also be created by hand.
Personally I'm not a fan of what the service call wizard generates. Its good as a time saver or for beginners, but I find I prefer to touch up the code it generates anyway. I much prefer to create a nice reusable model class with its own unit test and then consume this model class (with the service call wizard) from WD. This model class might contain one or more function module calls depending upon what logic I need to access.

Service call and code wizard

Dear All,
I am working on ECC 6.0 with Eph2 and SAP_HR SP27, when i tried to create a service call to function module in the Adapt Context i am not able to view the check box for selection.
Also when i click the Webdynpro Code Wizard it shows only a template gallery with standard screen,from and table only, which is not not displayin the Web dynpro statement structure
What could be the possible reason?
Patch level update or Service activation ?
Could you help me out in the solving this issue?

> when i tried to create a service call to function module in the Adapt Context i am not able to view the check box for selection.
What checkbox can you not see? I am looking at that step in the Wizard and there isn't any checkbox - just a table control with the node type, name, object type, new name.
>Also when i click the Webdynpro Code Wizard it shows only a template gallery with standard screen,from and table only, which is not not displayin the Web dynpro statement structure
The Web Dynpro Code Wizard from the View-layout tab should only have the Screen, Form, and Table option. What else where you expecting. If you want the code generation wizard then you are in the wrong place. Form the method editor choose the Web Dynpro Code Wizard and you will get a completely different set of options than choosing the same option from the view-layout tab.

Script example trigger web service call and populate request from adobe

Hello,
I'm trying to make a adobe interactive form that needs to be populated by a web service. I have one field : In the dataconnection that is the input for the web service request and this is bound to the request. I have a button that is connected to my web service. After filling in a new value and pushing the button I want the web service request to be triggered.
Thus anyone has a coding example or more information about using web services directly from within a Adobe Interactive form ?
thnx, Jasper

Hi Jasper,
You may refer the Adobe ddevelopment center for the docs related to the execute property of the button to trigger a web service.
<i>Alternatively, if you do not want to create a button to execute a call to a Web Service, you can do it via Script.
Assuming your Data Connection is named LeasePayment
For JavaScript:
xfa.connectionSet.LeasePayment.execute(0);
For Form Calc:
$connectionSet.LeasePayment.execute(0);
execute(0) indicates no data merging
execute(1) indicates all the data in the data DOM will be remerged.</i> - Adobe doc.
hope this will help.
Thanks andRegards,
Anto.

Link between service order and terms of payment

Hello experts,
can anybody tell me the link between an order and terms of payment of the current buyer? Which tables do I have to join? Or is there any function module to use for that purpose?
Very urgent!
Thanks in advance
Tanja

Hi Tanja,
instead of directly selecting some data from the DB tables you should read this information via the BOL (c.f BOL Programing - CRM - SCN Wiki for a short introduction).
Using the transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER you can browse through the data model and find the suitable relations for reading the required data. In your case one possible approach to access the data is BTAdminH->BTHeaderBillingSet->BTBillingSetBuAg. Once you have the BuAg BOL object you can simply read the TOFPAYM property.
Best,
Christian

Web service call and page fowarding

I just started with HTML DB. I have a customer that requires the use of HTML DB for there standard look and feel, since they are using it for other applications.
I need to use HTML DB to create a front end that is backed by either EJBs or Web services that front the EBJs, to create a single application. I can not go directly to the DB since there is to much business logic contained in the EJBs that I would be circumventing. I dont think this is a good use of tech. from either side (J2EE or HTML DB) but I did not make the decision.
I have not seen integration with EJBs addressed (if you know of any please speak up), so I was happy to see that web services are supported.
So....
I have been able to call a webservice and get a result. I need to be able to format the result and create buttons based on the results returned by the web services. These buttons will call other pages that may or may not call additional webservices. In addition, I need to pass values in the web services response to pages called by the buttons generated. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Also does the syntax for #somethine# and &someone get evaluated if used in the XSL that renders the webservice response?

Please disregard my "additional information" post to this
item. I posted it here by mistake!

ColdFusion Remote Service Calls and Dates

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out with my confusion. I’m sending an object including datetime data from ColdFusion to a Flash application. The datetime in the ColdFusion object include milliseconds, however, if I use the getTime() function on the Date object in the Flex application, the milliseconds have been zeroed out. Is there any way to retain the milliseconds when the data is passed through the flexgateway?
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Balaji,
I have attached a demo of my proxy webservice called pxTest.cfc. pxTest.cfc contains two functions, testDate and pushBackTestDate. I also attached a simple Flex App called testDate.mxml. And a Test file called test.cfm.
Save pxTest.cfc to your CFC folder. Create a new project called TestDate. Go to the data/services tab, click "Connect to Data/Service" and select Data Service ColdFusion. Browse to PxTest.cfc and select it for the CFC location. Click Next, then click Finish. Configure ReturnType as Date for both pushBackTestDate and testDate. Paste the code from TestDate.mxml into the blank TestDate.mxml file that was created when you created the project TestDate. Run the TestDate.mxml application.
On load of the application a date was requested and received from pxTest.cfc. Click Confirm Test Date and note the date returned, and the milliseconds value for that date. Next click Push User Data back, this will call the method pushBackTestDate sending the date from the Flex app back into CF. All pushBackTestDate does is set the value returned into session and return it back to the Flex app again.
Click the button Show Pushed Data Result to see the date that was returned. In my tests this date no longer has a value for milliseconds. As long as pxTest.cfc and test.cfm run in the same session you will be able to see the dates sent and returned by running test.cfm. The dump of that session variable and time formatted versions of that variables are displayed below:
RETURNED
{ts '2009-09-17 12:57:50'}
SEND
{ts '2009-09-17 12:57:50'}
TimeFormat Send 12:57:50 13
TimeFormat Returned 12:57:50 0
Note the date sent contains milliseconds, the date returned does not have milliseconds. Hopefully this demo will work for you and demonstrate the issue. Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Christine

Link between Service PO and Asset

Dear All,
Client making a AMC Service PO for Air conditioners with vendor Voltas.
We have created equipment master for all the Voltas AC's.
How can i link a AC equipment with Service PO when i go for AMC.
Regards

Hi,
sorry, but it might be that I did not understand your inquiry well, but you can create a purchase requisition or PO with item category services and account assignment category "A". In the accounting screen to your servcices you can enter the asset numbers. It is also possible to include an accounting information with reference to a project or a WBS element...(tables EBKN, EKKN, ESKL, etc)
If it does not answer your question, I would like to ask you to provide more infor about the issue.
Thank you.
