Prevent confirmation for non-released PO

I am trying to generate a message to the user when they try to process a confirmation in SRM for a PO that is not yet released.  All approvals are done in SRM.  However, after the PO is created on the backend, workflow could restart if a change is made.
In SAP, if you try to process a GR you get a message that the PO is not released.  In SRM, if I try and process a confirmation, nothing happens.  This could frustrate our users because they will continue to click on the confirmation icon.
I set up message BBP_CF 057 in SRM as an error message.  But, if I try to do a confirmation, nothing happens.
We are on SRM 4.0 and SAP ECC 5.0.
How do I get a message to appear on the confirmation screen so that a user knows why they cannot do a confirmation?

  • Prevent Confirmation for non-related users

    Hi Experts:
    We are using SRM 7 (classic scenario), ECC6.
    The user creates conformation in SRM.
    Our issue is that, any user can create confirmation for any PO even if not related to his SC.  If the user knows the PO no., he can do create confirmation as follows:
    Under Purchasing tab ==> Purchasing ==>  Services ==> Create documents ==> confirmation.
    My question:
    1. How to prevent user from other department to create confirmation for PO not related to his SC?
    2.   How to allow users from the same deprtemnet to creat confirmation for thier own departments, so that in case of absent of the SC creator, his collegue can create conformation.
    Thanks

    Hi Hoasheq,
    There are two possible approaches:
    1. Implement and enhance Process Controlled Workflow for Confirmation document via BRF (no developments required, higher flexibility). Ensuring that confirmations created from different department are automatically rejected or maybe even require (more) approval.
    2. Implement code in DOC_CHECK_BADI to ensure your below requirement, discuss with your ABAP developer.
    Kind regards,

  • Firewall preventing Airplay for non-admins

    Hi,
    I've got an Airport Express connected to my hi-fi and play music from iTunes through it. For me it works perfectly, but for the other accounts on the Mac, when they try to connect to the hi-fi in iTunes (using the Airplay button) they are told that the firewall is blocking Airplay. They are also asked for an admin user before anything can be changed. I found that iTunes was being blocked so set it to accept incoming connections. All seemed okay.......
    Except - the next time you start up iTunes the problem is back and the firewall setting has not "stuck", so it all has to be done again. This is really annoying and prevents anyone in the house streaming music to the hi-fi unless I am there with my admin password.
    Does anybody else have this problem? Why won;t the firewall changes "stick"?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • PO Release Strategy - Only for non material based

    Experts,
    I have a requirement to implement a release strategy for a single plant for POs for NON material based purchases ( only for using account assignments, cost centers etc).
    The release strategy I configured is working only for the specific plant I want... However, it works whether its a material based PO or a non material based PO.
    How do i get the strategy to work for only the service based purchases, and not the material ones?

    Thanks for the replies but I'm not sure if they are applicable...
    I did create a characterstic for item categories and added the one's I wanted to have... I did NOT include a blank because i thought that would make the difference between the material based PO and non PO. When we I create Po with material (even with no account assignment) it still goes through release.
    Any reason why that is?
    I dont believe the material group solution will not work either because we require material group for material and non material based POs..
    Side note - when i try to use CEKKO with KTTNP, i get a "KTTNP does not exist error." So i used EKPO - KTTNP... hopefully thats ok, but please let me know if its not.

  • PO Partial confirmation Quantity not updated for non-catalog items in SRM

    Hi Experts,
    Partial Confirmation plus Partial Rejection from Ariba(Suppliers network) could not be processed.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Create a purchase order.
    2) Confirm some part of the quauntity and reject the balance part in Ariba.
    3) Open the link in SRM and click Copy push button.
    4) Click on Process PO and check PO, the PO is not updated with the changes done in Ariba
    Expected Result:
    PO should update the changes done in Ariba.
    Here when part quantity is confirmed and part is rejected at Ariba, its sending a POR but SRM is not updating anything for non-catalog items when POR is copied onto PO.But where as  in the Catalog items partially confirmed POR is copied onto PO.
    kindly give your valuable inputs to poceed furthur.
    Regards,
    Chandu

    Hi,
    I'm not clear you issue. Is it SC -> PR(backend) -> PO(backend) classic scenario ? or You just created a PO in backend system?
    BBP_GET_STATUS_2 will update SC follow-on doc information from backend.

  • 10.2.0.4 for "non-mainstream" platforms - release date?

    According to
    SAP on Oracle
    --> SAP on Oracle Development Update
    patch 10.2.0.4 for non-mainstream platforms (Windows IA64, Linux IA64 etc.) was to be released "in August", now we have mid september and patches are still not available.
    Any idea why this is postponed and if there is a new date?
    Markus

    lol
    If that was true then it´s even more ununderstandable, that the "mainstream platforms" are already released

  • CRM Release confirmation for billing (how to find out who released)

    Hi All,
    Does anybody know how to find out who released a confirmation for billing. Tx for releasing is /BEA/CRMB02. After releasing the confirmation for billing it will show up in /BEA/CRMB01. But there is no way to find out who released the confirmation since there is no change log. Or is there a change log?
    Does anyone know the answer?

    You will need to use 'grep' from the CLI of your appliance(s) in order to view the mail_logs and gui_logs.  Use "released" in the mail_logs to get the timeframe of when the mails in question were released.  (You may need to verifiy the MID for the mails in order to verify the particular ones in question.)  
    Enter the regular expression to grep.
    []> released
    Then use 'grep' again to search the timeframe in gui_logs.  This should display who carried out the action, or what userID they were logged in with --- showing "user:<userID>" in the log line.
    I hope this helps!

  • Is SRM 6.0 (SRM 2007) released for non-ramp up customers?

    Hi Guys,
    Anyone knows if SRM 6.0 is now available on the market for non-ramp up customers? If not any ideas when it will be ready?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In adition to this dates, here is the official letter :
    "PUBLIC Information about SRM 6.0
    This note is intended to help the SAP field answer customer inquiries concerning the delayed shipment of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) release 6.0.
    Reasons for the delay
    SAP SRM 6.0 is a big step forward for SRM: SRM 6.0 is the first SAP software to rely on the new user interface technology WebDynpro and the Web Application Server, rather than the previous ITS. It is also based on the completely new business rule framework (BRF) to define approval workflows. These changes are intended to improve usability and simplify workflow administration / customization, leading to better acceptance and lower TCO for our customers. However, the move to these new technologies is also a complex change and as a result, the product has experienced delays.
    With our most recent development milestone - service pack 2 in mid-July 2007 - we have made lots of progress towards completion; however, we estimated that the product was still not yet ready for Ramp-Up. As a result, we decided to release the product only in beta shipment and to a very limited set of customers (14 in total) who are being closely monitored by our development organization. Seven of these customers are actually planning to go live on the current beta shipment.
    Based on the progress made so far with Service Pack 2, we feel that we should be able to start the official Ramp-Up process on December 10th, 2007 - the target ship date for Service Pack 03. By that time, we should already have 3+ live customers, so new customers starting their projects will benefit from the experiences acquired from previous implementations.
    Time plan and Recommendations
    1. Ideally, we recommend that new and upgrade SRM customers wait for the start of Ramp-Up for SRM 6.0 SP03 (Dec 10th, 2007) rather than starting a project with the previous release SRM 5.0. SRM 6.0 offers many benefits compared to SRM 5.0 and should be easier to use + maintain. An Online scoping questionnaire will be available from mid October in the SAP Service Marketplace as usual.
    2. The number of Beta shipment customers is strictly limited and therefore we do not intend to ship Service Pack 2 to any additional customers besides the 14 customers currently in Beta.
    3. Implementation partners can request a demo license of the current support package 2 in the partner portal. They can set up their sandbox systems and familiarize with the new technology upfront before they enter into customer projects from Dec. 10.
    Should you have any further questions please contact your local SAP account executive
    Kind regards,
    Yann

  • Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

    I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
    The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
    forefront. We have
    been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
    announced for
    that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
    downloaded Oracle8
    for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
    the first
    20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
    paying
    customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
    accounts and most
    of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
    This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
    Linux. Already,
    20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
    internet
    technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
    Linux, this
    release promises to be the hottest yet.
    Read on for more information about:
    - What are we announcing?
    - What are the key messages?
    - What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    - Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    - Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    - Which products are available on Linux?
    - Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
    doing?
    - Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
    What are we announcing?
    Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
    strong demand
    for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
    shipping
    Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
    What are the key messages?
    Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
    fast, reliable
    and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
    the higher
    value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
    databases and applications).
    With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
    progressing from
    its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
    deployment
    environment in large business.
    Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
    using Oracle8
    and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
    Network (OTN) for
    Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
    operating system.
    What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
    list (see
    http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
    operating
    system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
    developer licenses
    through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
    to use Oracle
    software for non-commercial use.
    Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
    small ISP's
    and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
    sites. For
    Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
    three times
    that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
    low-cost, yet
    highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
    the NT market,
    Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
    Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
    strongly
    contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
    students and
    developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
    Fortune 100
    companies and although deployments are still currently small
    compared to NT
    and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
    Which products are available on Linux?
    Currently available on Linux are:
    - Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
    - Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
    - Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
    Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
    equity
    investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
    Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
    primarily on
    enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
    Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
    (http://www.turbolinux.com)
    VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
    (http://www.linux.com)
    Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
    Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
    There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
    Oracle strategy
    and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
    (Strategic
    Business Unit).

    Press Release
    ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
    ANNOUNCEMENT
    OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
    Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
    number one
    choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
    for Oracle
    on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
    business markets.
    Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
    Linux, after a
    successful early adopter's program.
    Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
    over 50,000
    downloads from Oracle Technology Network
    (http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
    after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
    registrants
    for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
    community,
    Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
    excess of 800
    paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
    enterprise accounts
    and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
    organizations.
    "Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
    had to rely on
    NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
    Linux," says
    Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
    company providing
    customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
    web hosting
    and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
    security,
    performance, manageability or reliability required by our
    customers. Oracle
    brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
    a result,
    we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
    Fortune 100
    enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
    the addition
    of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
    "Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
    scalability and
    performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
    system," says
    Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
    e-commerce
    service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
    members'
    needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
    extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
    "Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
    community,"
    says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
    at Oracle.
    "Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
    Together they
    offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
    applications."
    Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
    the
    Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
    leadership in
    the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
    warehousing to
    the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
    Oracle's
    Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
    and Oracle's
    Internet development tools.

    Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
    is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
    We can hope...

    : 20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
    : paying
    : customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
    : accounts and most
    : of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
    : This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
    : Linux. Already,
    : 20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
    : internet
    : technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
    : Linux, this
    : release promises to be the hottest yet.
    : Read on for more information about:
    : - What are we announcing?
    : - What are the key messages?
    : - What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    : - Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    : - Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    : - Which products are available on Linux?
    : - Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
    : doing?
    : - Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
    : What are we announcing?
    : Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
    : strong demand
    : for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
    : shipping
    : Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
    : What are the key messages?
    : Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
    : fast, reliable
    : and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing
    on
    : the higher
    : value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
    : databases and applications).
    : With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
    : progressing from
    : its roots as a student and developer operating system to a
    viable
    : deployment
    : environment in large business.
    : Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
    : using Oracle8
    : and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
    : Network (OTN) for
    : Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
    : operating system.
    : What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    : Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
    : list (see
    : http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
    : operating
    : system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
    : developer licenses
    : through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
    : to use Oracle
    : software for non-commercial use.
    : Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    : Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform
    for
    : small ISP's
    : and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest
    portal
    : sites. For
    : Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing
    at
    : three times
    : that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
    : low-cost, yet
    : highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
    : the NT market,
    : Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
    : Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic
    alone
    : strongly
    : contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
    : students and
    : developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
    : Fortune 100
    : companies and although deployments are still currently small
    : compared to NT
    : and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
    : Which products are available on Linux?
    : Currently available on Linux are:
    : - Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
    : - Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
    : - Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
    : - Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
    : - Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
    : Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    : Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
    : equity
    : investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
    : Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
    : primarily on
    : enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
    : Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
    : (http://www.turbolinux.com)
    : VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
    : (http://www.linux.com)
    : Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
    : Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
    : There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
    : Oracle strategy
    : and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux
    SBU
    : (Strategic
    : Business Unit).

  • Subcontract PO/PR does not generate PR for non stock component

    Hello,
    I need help on above topic.
    SAP Version is ERP Central Component 5.0.
    My problem is that PR is not being generated for non stock component in PR/PO of higher/parent material.
    I notice that in component overview screen the item cat for this non stk comp. has changed to T( text item) even though the BOm has been maintained with item cat as N( non stock). The material type being used for non stk material is custom developed(copy of NLAG).
    Has anyone faced similar issue. or can suggest some missing customization (if any)
    Just to confirm :
    I have done customising for Direct procurement in OPPQ to trigger PR  in requirements planning. Also tried with prod order creation option(though my case is PO creation)
    Any help from forum is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    When i try to unzip the patch file p14285344_111164_Generic.zip for 11.1.1.6.4 on Linux x64 i get the following message
    End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
    a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
    latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
    the last disk(s) of this archive.
    unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of p14285344_111164_Generic.zip or
    p14285344_111164_Generic.zip.zip, and cannot find p14285344_111164_Generic.zip.ZIP, period.
    The other files making up the 11.1.1.6.4 release unzip ok.
    I've seen this issue with other patch files for different releases.
    Anyone seen this before and know why this is?
    Rgds

    Looks like the .zip file is got disconnect during download. To confirm the same try to unzip on Windows.
    I've downloaded it and unzipped with no issues.
