PPAP process in SAP ECC 6.0

Hello,
is there any standard documentation (baselines or any other) on the way to manage PPAP procurement and quality processes and activities in SAP?
Ciao, Lucilla and Stefano

Hello, thank you for writing.
Well, we would like to implement a simple 2 phases PPAP process: first SAMPLING phase with a specific (more detailed) inspection plan and a second SERIE phasewith the standard inspection plan. this can be easily done using Qinforecords and statuses linked to inspection types 01 and 0101. But we would also like to automatically lock some activities (like purchasing for example or use this material in production) until the SAMPLE phase has been closed and inspection lot approved. What we see is a lack of documentation on this process in the baseline docs set.
ciao, Lucilla and Stef

SAP ECC Interface w/ IDOC-XML using TCP/IP, HTTP, or FTP to 3rd-Party Syst.

I am trying to understand if the following interface options can occur (without the use of SAP PI or any other middleware):
Option 1A: Can I process an SAP ECC outbound IDoc in XML using TCP/IP to a non-SAP 3rd party system? Can you please explain the reason for why I can or can NOT do this. If possible, please provide supporting documentation on how-to do this?
Option 1B: Can I process an SAP ECC inbound XML-IDOC from a non-SAP calling system that used TCP/IP? Can you please explain the reason for why I can or can NOT do this. If possible, please provide supporting documentation on how-to do this?
Option 2A: Can I process an SAP ECC outbound IDOC in XML using HTTP to a non-SAP 3rd-party system? Can you please explain the reason for why I can or can NOT do this. If possible, please provide supporting documentation on how-to do this?
Option 2B: Can I process an SAP ECC inbound XML-IDOC from a non-SAP calling system that used HTTP? Can you please explain the reason for why I can or can NOT do this. If possible, please provide supporting documentation on how-to do this?

Hello Kirk ,
The answers for your question are:
Option 1A: Yes you can .you can use TCP/IP but you must have a middleware component for that such as BC/JCO .
Please see the link : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/09/c88442a07b0e53e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Option 1B: See the link above.
Option 2A: You can use ABAP code :

What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

Hi All,
Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
From Shop floor:
shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

Update Process Order Confirmations Back to SAP ECC

Hi,
Is there a document or step by step guide which explains how i can update SAP EARP with process order confirmations from my shopfloor? Below is the scenario i am looking for help in
1. There is a SQL server table where the SHOP floor update the quantity manufactured against a Process order.
2. I need to pick up that data from the SQL server table and update the ERP against that Process order.
Can any one explain how this can be achieved.
I checked the sample's and the templates in SDN but none of them actually show how to update any ERP?
Please advice!!.
Regards
Suraj

Check this one
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60ac6bb8-a684-2b10-208d-b90883004a5e
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/204a13d0-399d-2b10-ec84-9c254cd7efd4
You use this component to enable the shop floor operators to record their production order and process order confirmations using a touch screen user interface. In SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) operators must complete many steps to confirm orders. Instead, you can use this interface, on a touch screen to enter the production performance easily and effectively. You can also use this component to obtain operators' work lists and information on their current activities.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks&Regards
Manisha das

Hello Manisha,
The one of the possible reasons for this is due to lack of H/W.
Increase your RAM size to atleast 2GB and utilise the same while you are installing ECC in database parameters step..
If the issue is with H/W, then this should fix the issue.
Hope it helps,

SAP EarlyWatch Alert in SAP ECC and SAP PI

Hi Experts,
Every week in SAP EarlyWatch Alert report in PI as well as SAP ECC, shows PI consuming highest resource in SAP ECC by the SAPMHTTP.
Example as below:
Initial System
Initial Action
Total Resp. Time in s
% of RFC Load
Avg. Response Time
Avg. CPU Time
Avg. DB Time
Avg. Roll Wait Time
PI
SAPMHTTP
200.261
15,00
600,3
70,4
165,4
1,5
The total response time in SAP ECC by PI system is 200261 secs.
I have checked the interfaces which connects SAP ECC with RFC and calculated the processing time for all messages in PI. But that time is much less than the above total response time.
Can you please help me understand how to validate this with the messages that are getting processed through PI using RFC?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Pascal,
No There is no possibility to get the Diaglog response time and the number of users as similar to a ABAP EWA report in a JAVA EWA report.
This is because of the fact that the checks for both these system types are different.

Error while upgrading SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 to SAP ECC 5.0

Dear SAP,
We are on the process of upgrading SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with Ext:110 to SAP ECC 5.0.But during the VERSCHK_INI phase an error is been thrown showing that
"The start release configuration :
SAP_ABA :620
SAP_APPL :470
SAP_BASIS :620
SAP_HR:470.....is not supported "
At this stage we decided to continue with this by ignoring the VERSCHK_INI phase,but it gave us a warning that to continue with the next phase(TOOLVERSIOn_INI phase) we require a password.
we searched in several documents even in the documents along with the cd but was not able to find a password for this or a solution for the error in phase VERSCHK_INI.
I request team SAP to help us in this regard.Expecting your reply ASAP.
Thanks and Regards
Anantha Raman E.

Were you able to find a resolution to this problem. We are also having a similar problem in our prepare phase and cannot find anything to help us as yet.
Thanks,

Integrate with a vendor from SAP ECC 6.0 for 'PunchOut' functionality

Hi Friends,
Pardon me if I have made mistakes in using the terminology in my posting. We just use SAP ECC 6.0 and no SRM. We want to integrate with a vendor for so-called Punchout. Our users will click a URL link from our Intranet and it takes them to Vendor's catalog website. They can choose items and create a shopping cart. The website will return us a unique Shopping Cart ID with list of Items in cxml format. We can use that information and create PO. We are not familiar with cxml format and how to process the PO. Is this a standard functionality in SRM ? I don't think we can install SRM since we don't have Business suite license. If any one has experience with above scenario, ie connecting to vendor's cataglog from SAP ECC 6.00 without SRM, can you pl share with us ?
Niranjan

Hi Masa
Thanks for the reply. The vendor supports OCI as well. However, since I was not familiar with it, I was thinking to go with cXML. When I opened the OCI pdf in the URL that you mentioned, it talks about SRM server. Like I had mentioned earlier, we don't use SRM at our company here. Can you let me know in couple of steps how OCI works and how fast we can implement in our ERP ECC 6.0 environment ? I am delighted to note that one of the companies in Japan implemented in 4 hours.
Thanks for your help,
Niranjan

Automatic creation of contract in SAP ECC from ESO

Hello Experts,
We are installing SAP ESO 5.1, with integration package, linked to a SAP ERP 5.0 system.
With the out-of-the box integration package, it is possible to create an outline agreement (contract) from an ESO Master Agreement / Agreement by selecting Scripts -> Publish to ERP from the toolbar (this can only be done if the Master Agreement is in a "saved" state). This is a manual process.
My question is: is it possible to automatically execute this script by means of Workflow?
The goal would be for E-Sourcing to always create a contract in the SAP ECC backend system from a completed ESO Master Agreement. I believe this can be achieved by executing a script at the "saved" event?
I'll appreciate your feedback on this approach, or any other solutions you might have implemented with customers to reach a solution to a similar requirement.
Thanks!
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto
I would not suggest "Publish to ERP " to me made a post save script as contract managers/ buyers might "save" a draft version of the master agreement which might still need some validation. Also since a word contract is not in place at this point in time, there might be changes later on which could make the situation rather messy.
In case you are going for approval workflows in phase definition of contract, you can use "Publish to ERP " as a postscript for workflow when contract finally is moved to executed phase but again would support Howie here that it should remain a manual process since a lot of validations would be required.
A lot depends on business on what they consider to be the culimination of CLM cycle. Few would like to start transactions through oultine agreement before actual contract is signed to speed up the process while many would like to wait for the actual signed document to be in place before starting transactional procurement.

Messages getting scheduled in SAP ECC Box:Messages getting stuck in Inbound

The scenario is -
JDBC Sender-->> SAP PI-->> ECC Server(via ABAP proxy)
The Interface is running properly in SAP PI & then the messages are getting posted to the Inbound queues in SAP ECC Box. Generally it takes few seconds for the messages to get processed, but now all are getting scheduled in the Inbound queues(in different channels as seen in SMQ2)
We re-ran the interfaces again a few times, but all of them kept getting scheduled. Finally, after 2 hours one of the messages got processed. I suppose we won't face any problem now onwards.
Though I can see several suggestions like registering the queues & assigning dedicated queues to the interface, none of the blog suggest the probable cause of the event?
Can this be due to some issue in the server(heavy pressure of data in the server during the period/issue in the queues??)
I found the following links regarding issues like these --
XML file getting stucked in queue in ECC
Message in scheduled state
Thanks

Is the printing issue with one specific printer or across system.
What method you have configured for output device.
There should be any issue if you add spool work process to Application server.
Then you should be able to configure spool server load balancing. (Search on help.sap.com for spool load balancing)

Transfer of data from SAP ECC 6.0 to E-Recruitment

Hi,
We are implementing E-recruitment . SAP ECC and E-Recruitment are running in different servers.How to transfer data from following Infotypes from SAP ECC 6.0 to E-Recruitment .
IT0002 Personal Data to 5102 Candidate Information
IT0006 Address Data to 5110 Address Rule
IT0105 Communication Data to 5110 Address Rule
IT0022 - Education to 5104 - Education
IT0023 Others/Previous Employers to 5103 - Work Experience
IT0024 - Qualifications to 5105 - Qualifications
Regards,
Somi .

Hello,
in general IT5103, 5104 and 5105 are not part of the standard distribution model. Without special customer own ALE development you will not be able to transfer these information.
Check SLG1 - application log for entries.
did you the initial data upload or did you only transfer changes?
If you did the initial data transfer be sure the user running the IDOC import has the correct rights. Be sure noone changed the usage of IT0000 STAT2 as e-recruiting expects value 3 for active employees. Furthermore be sure to be informed about the handling of hirings in future.
If you only wanted to transfer updates. PFAL is not the right way. Be sure you activated the change pointers correctly. Use RBDMIDOC. And be sure to implemet the latest Notes. There had been an error that changes were only processed in e-recruiting if at least IT0000, 0001 and 0002 were changed which resulted in problems when only IT 0006 was updated. In this case the update was not transfered to e-recruiting.
Best regards
Roman Weise

Tool or Package to run fuctionality of CRM in SAP ECC 6.0

Hi All
My requirement is to run multiple product schemes for free goods. We have not implemented CRM in our company. I know standard SAP support 1:1 free goods functionality,but am looking for tool or package which will help me to run the process like CRM. We have implemented Multi-product free goods process( eg:- 5+1 bye any 5 material out which one material is free.) Now the business require same product with bundle schemes and one to one free goods schemes.
To achieve this process am looking for tool or package which will provide me functionality like CRM
Regards
Avinash

Hi
If I understood you correctly, you are looking for many to one and one to many relation in free goods. Right?
As you already know in standard SAP there is 1:1 ratio allowed. There is no standard functionality which can support many to many or many to one or one to many free goods in SAP ECC. This has always been done through ABAP or by using BOM functionality.
Thank$

Migration of Smartforms / SAPScript forms from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0

Dear Members,
We are in process of re-implementing SAP with SAP ECC 6.0 from SAP R/3 version 4.7
We have created many layouts using SAPScripts & SAP Smartforms in SAP R/3.
My question is, are there any migration tools available in SAP ECC 6.0 in the form of function modules, BAPI etc to convert existing forms of Smartforms / SAPScripts created in SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0 ?
Or do we have to design all existing forms created in R/3 once agin in SAP ECC 6.0 ?
We request our dear members to share their views on the above mentioned problems faced by us in the re-implementation project
Thanking you,
With best regards,

Dear Friend,
As per our consultant's view, we are not upgrading from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC. We are re-implementing; that is, we are going to implement SAP ECC as if we are doing it for the first time ever in our company. This is due to drastic organizational changes happend in our company. So, upgrading from R/3 is not feasible solution, according to our consultants.
So, we have to re-configure all settings in SPRO manually in ECC based on our new business scenario. There will be new company codes, plants, business area etc., which will be totally different from existing R/3 system.
But the template definitions of the existing forms maintained in SAPScript / Smartforms will remain same.
There are 50+ forms (boith SAPScript / Smartforms put together) and manual re-designing of all those forms will be tedious within the scheduled date of GO Live.
In that case, to avoid re-designing, what is the best method that can prevent manual re-design of Smartforms?
For SAPscripts, I got some good news from our some of our dear forum members.
Thanking you,
With best regards,
