Pre-defined and flexible processes

Hi,
Can you implement both the pre-defined process and the flexible process. i.e 80% of business on pre0defined 20% on flexible?
Thanks

Hi Smoothover.
I agree with what Ash is saying, but the way I read your question was that you want employee X to be completing a review that's 80% predefined and 20% flexible.
That's not an available activity. To do this, that 20% flexible would be a customization of the predefined web dynpro app to fit it to the requirements of the customer. Predefined ,while good, is pretty rigid - theoertically making it much simpler to move to production without issue. However, it has been my experience that customers mostly like predefined but have their own company special process components that they will not move forward without. That seems to generally be the experience you're running into as well.
Out of curiosity, what's the 20% of functionality that your customer wants from the flexible that's not available with predefined? I'm not trying to be nosy, just wondering if maybe there are some ways predefined or other functionality can be used to get that 20%
Hope that helps and let me know if anything I said was unclear or if I have misunderstood you.
Thanks,
Chris

How to export multiple copies reoprts based on parameters and with pre-defined naming

Hi All:
I have a problem of using SSRS 2012, we have multiple clients and they wanted us to deliver the pre-defined excel reports to different branches based on selecting the "branch name" parameter, also they have a naming rule for the excel
report file.
We cannot use the subscription as they need to do it in one batch and upload to an FTP file, therefore we are doing this manually for over 300 reports. Is this a convenient way to generate them in one batch as well as customising their file names?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers
Johnny

Hi JohnnyKahWang,
As per my understanding, there are multiple clients, you want to deliver reports to clients according to branch name parameter, and naming the excel file according to the rule. If that is the case, we can use data-driven subscription to achieve your goal.
Reporting Services provides data-driven subscriptions so that you can customize the distribution of a report based on dynamic subscriber data. Data-driven subscriptions use query results to determine the recipients of the subscription, delivery settings,
and report parameter values. At run time, the report server runs a query to get values used for subscription settings. We can use the Create Data-driven Subscription pages to define the query and assign query values to subscription settings. For detail information,
please refer to the following steps:
1. Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to create a data-driven subscription.
2. Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Data-driven Subscription.
5. Choose a method of delivery, then select data source for the subscription.
6. Specify a query that retrieves subscriber data like below:
CREATE TABLE Name (
BranchName varchar(20),
ExcelFileName varchar(20),
Email_to varchar(50)
INSERT INTO Name values
('Branch1', 'Name1', '[email protected]'),
('Branch2', 'Name2', '[email protected]'),
('Branch3','Name3', '[email protected]');
IF we chose Windows File Share delivery extension, we can define path in the query.
7. Specify delivery extension options like below:
8. Specify report parameters to BranchName.
9. Specify when the subscription is processed, then click Finish to save the configuration.
For more information about Data-driven Subscription, please refer to the following documents:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Predefined appraisal process and flexible appraisal process

Hello
I read the new presentation about the New in Performance Management (SAP enhancement package 4
For SAP ERP 6.0) I don't understand the connection between predefined appraisal process and flexible appraisal process.
Can I use these 2 processes together?
Is the new "Predefined Performance Management Process: Calibration" work with flexible appraisal process or this is 2 different system and process?
For example This process of predefined appraisal compare "final appraisal" of workers. Where this "final appraisal" is stored . In which question of the appraisal form ?
In the presentation Sap wrote "Team calibration based on overall appraisal". What is "overall appraisal" in terms of appraisal form ?

Hi,
so to answer your questions:
Can I use these 2 processes together?
No these are 2 different functionalities. The reason they were delivered at the same time is because they are using the same technology (web dynpro)
Thus the 'calibration' which is designed for Predefined does not exist for Flexibe.
So with EHP4 SAp delivered the new Predefined functionality
and the Flexible which is basically the same functionality as before but using web dynpro instead of BSP page.
Regarding "Team calibration based on overall appraisal". This functionality allows manager to compare the individual appraisal documents of the employees that reports to him.
You can find some more information on these fucntionalities in SAP help link below

Mapping files for pre-defined Encodings?

Hi there,
Does anybody know if and where it is possible to download the PDF pre-defined encodings (StandardEncoding, MacRomanEncoding, WinAnsiEncoding, PdfDocEncoding and MacExpertEncoding) as any processable file?
I found this: http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/ADOBE/ ...but I'm not sure if they are complete and up-to-date.
Furthermore I'm missing a processable file for MacExpertEncoding at all.
Anybody?
Thanks!

Export/Import pre-defined reports

Hi all.
Can i export reports (Dahsbooards, Pre-defined reports etc) created in one BI Server and import them to another? How? I have managed to import metadata using an rpd file but the reports havent changed...
Thanks, if I am not clear please tell me to explain, this is all new to me!

Open the RPD In online mode. In the physical layer, open up the connection pool that is being used for the database that reports are querying for data. Change the username and password. Check in connection pool, save the changes.
On a quick tip, the best way to handle this issue during migration is to use a static repository variable. Just create two variables for username and password and use these variables wherever required in the RPD. When you migrate the RPD, just change the values of the static repository variables after migration process. In this way you will avoid having to change the values of username and passwords in multiple places.
Hope your question is answered.

Does the pre-defined rules provide by SAP in PC 10?

Hi Everyone
I have two question about Process Control 10.
1. Rules, sample controls and scripts provided by SAP in PC 2.5.
Does the pre-defined rules provide by SAP in PC 10?
2. If it provide, how many?
I've read a lot of information about PC 10(RKT, Application Help, Master, Installation, Upgrade, Migration, and Operations Guides),but I can't find it..

Oracle Pre-defined Business Flows for BF.015

Hi All,
I am new to ABF 1.4. I need to prepare a BF.015 (the old BP.080). In the guideline for preparing BF.015, the ABF Guide says -
"The work product for this task is the Future Process Model. It consists of all the Oracle Business Flows being implemented including pre-defined Business Flows obtained from one of the Business Flow repositories...."
Where can I access these predefined business flows from? For example, if I want to see Oracle's predefined flow diagram for Procure-to-Pay or Order-to-Cash, where can I find it?
I would highly appreciate any knowledge you can share in this regard.
Regards,
Ari

Pre-defined performance - MSS - Cascading team Goals

Hi Experts,
we are using the SAP pre-defined performance EHP4 system.
We have created a template in our DEV system and are able to create the appraisal document from the Manager and update by the employee.
Within the team goals screen (iview) of the pre-defined template, we can select the view u201CDirect Reportsu201D which allows us to Cascading of team Goals.
Our issue is if we select the view u201COrg Unit structureu201D or the u201CEmployee structureu201D then we get a Portal crash
The other related issue is the goal end date is being defaulted as 31.12.9999 and we are getting the error u201CEntered dates must be in the current yearu2019 where the plan start date is 01.08.2010 and the end date is 31.07.2011.
Does the start and end date of the goals have to be a calendar year?
Please can someone tell me if they did any additional config or found a solution to these issues?
Many thanks
Oliver

Hi,
in the standard the team goals period is limited to a maximum of one year. But SAP provides two enhancements (enhancement spot HRHAP00_GOAL_PERIOD) that can be used to allow different periods. These are:
- HRHAP00GOAL_PERIOD_GEN For the generic UI
- HRHAP00GOAL_PERIOD_PMP For the predifined process
So you may use these to fulfill your requirement. Just take into account that the Goal assessment for the goals (if they are valid more than one year) would be the same for all the validity period of the goal.

Ana

Pre-defined performance PMP_PROC_REJ u201CReject Overall Appraisalu2019

Hi Experts,
we are using the SAP pre-defined performance EHP4 system.
We have created a template in our DEV system and are able to create the appraisal document from the Manager and update by the employee.
At the dnd of the process of the overall appraisal, if the employee selects the pushbutton to u201CReject overall appraisalu201D this seems to stop the appraisal from being edited by the manger nor the employee.
I would have expected a workflow to be generated or a means for the manager and the employee to have an offline conversation and then the manager could re-open the te team members document to make the final change and complete the document.
The pushbutton PMP_PROC_REJ u201CReject Overall Appraisalu2019 only has subsequent status of u201CClosed rejectedu201D
Please can someone tell me if they did any additional config or found a solution to this issue?
Many thanks
Oliver

Hi Swapnil,
we decided to stop the process when the employee hits reject overall appraisal and had a new workflow to go to HR and the Manager to notify them of the rejection.
it may be possible to write some custom function to automate phap_admin but I would think extremely difficult as it would have to pass the correct credentials from the Portal to the backend to phap_admin and change the status to in process.
It may be better to have client process to be informed of the rejection to understand why the employee did reject and for HR to control re-setting the status using phap_admin.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
Oliver

How to use pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet with XI 3.0

Hi all.
   I am working in Comgroup Shanghai co. ltd. which is partner of SAP China.
   We have a potential customer who use RosettaNet as their Supply Chain EDI system.
   I would like to make a demo for demostrate the pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet RNIF 2.0 packages.
   Where can I find such guideline ? I have checked the article: implementing RosettaNet with XI 3.0, but it cannot help me.
   Another question is how I can develop my own scenarios for the RNIF standards which are not included in XI RosettaNet business package ?

Hi Andy,
See the instructions below after you installed the RosettaNet STK.
Below given is the sample config for PIP3B2 Scenario. Part I is using STK and Part II is using 2 XI systems.
<b>Part I. Test Using STK</b>
In your XI ID:
1) Define both the parties 1) Shipper(Your Partner) 2) Receiver(Your company) with identifiers like DUNS Number.
2) In ID goto>Tools>Transfer Integration Scenarios from IR-->select the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" from the drop down list.
3) Follow the 4 steps in the config wizard.
4) While creating your CC, create it from the channel template delivered with the RosettaNet BP.
   4.1) Specify the URL for STK which should be in the following format
http://<STK Server>:<port>/rosettanet/servlet/listenerServlet?userId=<Party Name>
   4.2)In the location fields, enter your location and your partner location.
In your STK
1) Start the RosettaNet STK.
2) enter the UserID<Partner Name in XI>
3) Select the Test Scenario, 3B2V01.01-AdvanceShipmentNotification-0001-Scenario-Shipper
4) Enter Global Business ID(DUNS Number) and Location ID for both the partners. These fields should be same as in your R/3 Party configuration.
5) Enter the URL as follows:
http://<XI Server:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
If everything is configured correctly as mentioned, you should be able to test your single-action scenario.
<b>Part II Test using another XI System</b>
For these follow the steps above for XI Config.
Configure one XI System as PIP3B2 Shipper using the Scenario "PIP3B2_Shipper" and config wizard as mentioned above.
Configure the other XI as PIP3B2 Receiver using the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" and config wizard.
In the Url field, specify the URL as follows:
http://<XI host>:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
Hope this helps.

Sam Raju

Rolling back of Quick Pay Pre-payment and Quick Pay in case of void cheque

Hi All
I am facing an issue if you can help me out of if
Here is a scenario
a payroll manager runs the following processes.
1. Payroll run
2. Pre-Payments
3. Payroll Archiver
4. Payment Output file
After running all these process payroll manager finds that he also has to make an adhoc payment on account of car loan of AED 150,000.
So he runs following processes
1. Quick pay for Car loan
2. Quick pay pre-payments (payment made through check)
3. payroll archiver
4. Cheque Writer.
Now due to some technical fault, alignment on printing of cheque becomes disturbed there for cheque misprinted.
Payroll manager runs Void Cheque process to cancel the cheque.
After all these processes which has run successfully, order comes from upper management to rollback quickpay for adhoc payment of loan.
Now question is how it can be achieved.
I tried different things as follows
On Assignment Process results screen i queried the assignment which all the processes in descending order.
I tried to start roll back from cheque writer but system didn't allowed to do this because of check Void process.
I tried to start rollback from Magnetic report, system allowed to roll it back.
Then i tried to rollback Quick-pay prepayment, system did not allow me be do it. There fore i couldn't run rollback for Quick-pay.
There is an another thing i tried.
On "Assignment Process Result" screen i queried assignment. Then i delete the first entry of Void cheque by using delete option from menu bar on top and saved the record. then i delete cheque writer entry and saved the record. Then i run rollback for quick pay pre-payments and ran it successfully and then lastly i ran rollback for quick pay run.
One thing cautioned me that if I delete the void cheque entry then its history may be lost or have lost and on the other hand with out deleting void cheque i cannot proceed to rollback quick pay.
Kindly tell me the best way to run rollback for quick pay in this situation.
Regards
Majid

Bt do not provide broadband only so you need existing account holder to add broadband to phone account and then you can pay back the account holder - probably not what you want
the 12 months advance applies to the line rental not the broadband - as I said BT do not sell broadband only you buy a package which includes phone

Issues in creating a Pre-defined filter in Universe

Hello Everyone,
Here is the problem...
The idea is to have a prompt (Prompt1) to allow user select the Input type ..ie."Check Number or Invoice Number". There is the second prompt (Prompt2) which will allow user to input a value. Based on Prompt1 value, the prompt2 input should be evaluated against Check Number object or Invoice Number Object.
This is using a universe based on a BEx query.
Following useful information in the OLAP universe Best practice doc available [here] which Ingo once shared with us [on this forum], I created following pre-defined filter in my universe.
<OPTIONAL><FILTER EXPRESSION="IIF(@Prompt('Select Input type','A',{'Check','Invoice'},mono,free)='Check', [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01],[ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01])"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Enter Check or Invoice Number','A',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
Where [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01] = Check Number & [ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01] = Invoice number.
The object is parsing without errors in the universe. But when I use it in my report, the report throws an error " failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with " "
I took the MDX statment and tried to run/debug using MDXTEST and could never get it to work with the above objects. It was seen that the filter created in such a way is handled [Measures] object which only accepts Numeric values and not Strings. Where as my Check number and Invoice Number values are strings. The MDx statement is given below.
Has anyone experienced this issue earlier ?
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[4C46B176-CC15-DF11-92,5D,25,C2,A9,6F,0,0] AS ' IIF(Check=Check, [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01],[ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01]) ' SELECT { [Measures].[4GQZ1D26O6QATUDY32CGL1C38] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY FILTER( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [ZFIAP_IS1___F93].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [ZFIAP_IS1___F94].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F92].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F71].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [Measures].[4C46B176-CC15-DF11-92,5D,25,C2,A9,6F,0,0] = 0000041924670) DIMENSION PROPERTIES [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE01], [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE02], [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE03] ON ROWS FROM [ZFIAP_IS1/QZFIAP_BOUNV2]

Hi,
In fact, what you are requiring is feasible in Microsoft Analysis Services by defining a calculated meaure and a filter using this calculated measure.
Unfortunately, due to MDX restrictions in SAP, it is not possible to do it in universes.
I suggest that you create a range variable on Time to allow the user to only retrieve the dates needed.
You can retrieve all the dates and then apply a filter in Web Intelligence document: this solution might have the disadvantage to retrieve more data than necessary.
