Printable Files for Third Party

Newbie here. I am trying to create printable files, which are self contained, and can be independently printed by a thrid party.
I am wondering if BI Publisher is capable of creating a format where the graphical layout is only stored once, and then the variable data is stored and/or integrated seperately. The goal is to reduce the file size of the files which we would like to send to a third party to be printed, by avoiding fully populated PDF pages, which are identical except for the variable data.
By requesting that the printable files be self contained, I mean that the end result or the printable files would need to be in an industry standard PDF printing format, as the third party printing company does not have BI Publisher, nor access to our databases.

I have come accross FDF and XFDF format that stores the data seperately from the graphics. Can BI Publisher do anything like this?
My documents will generally be 1,000 to 2,000 pages, but the graphics are 80% the same.
Please let me know if there is a way to make my file creation faster and my file size smaller.

Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable

Hi Al,l we have a requirment to have a layout with some of the fields from
Third Party Balance Summary Report( Which is a Java type executable and
Data definition has Data Template attached(.xml)).
I tried in below way.
Coppied the Third Party Balance Summary Report program with same application and parameters
with. Then defined a Datadefinition with my concurrent prog short name
attached the same standard .xml file(Not sure what it is) and developed a custom template with
a custom rtf(excel output type), and submitted the program
the output is generated in excel but my custom .rtf layout is not getting applied
rather it is showing same layout as in standard.
Some thing I am missing here or else it is not the way of changing the
template.
If any one know how to do this please let me know.
My client want only some files from the standard report(no need of new fileds)
with output type xls.
Thanks in Advance.
The same content is posted in Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable sorry for duplicating the thread, just for increase the visibility for my issue I did this.

I gave up on using a different font or figuring out if I could use Times New Roman's built-in fractions visible in Font Book (as unicodes) and did a work-around based on Michael Wasley's tips in this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11622842#11622842
I adapted it however and think it looks a little better.
Font: Times New Roman 12 point
I used the fraction bar in 12-point (Shift-Option-1) for automatic kerning.
For the numerator, I changed the font style to superior (12-point).
For the denominator, I changed the font style to subscript (Shift-Command-hyphen) and reduced the font size to half, or 6-point using the short-cut Shift-Command-<.
When the fractions occured in my footnotes (9-point), I used 4-point in the denominator; 10- and 11-point, I used 5-point in the denominator. This seemed to produce the best result when printing.
Thank you, Michael.

Generate CSR for Third-Party Certificates

Hi All,
i have an issue when i tried to Generate CSR for Third-Party Certificates,
i follow step by step in the document of cisco until this step:
3.
Now that your CSR is ready, copy and paste the CSR information into any CA enrollment tool.
In order to copy and paste the information into the enrollment form, open the file in a text editor that
does not add extra characters. Cisco recommends that you use Microsoft Notepad or UNIX vi. Refer
to the website of the third−party CA for more information on how to submit the CSR through the
enrollment tool.
After you submit the CSR to the third−party CA, the third−party CA digitally signs the certificate and
sends back the signed certificate via e−mail.
4.
Copy the signed certificate information that you receive back from the CA into a file.
This example names the file CA.pem.
my issue is where i sould copy and paste the CSR information into any CA enrollment tool. i just have done create mykey.pem and myreq.pem in my folder OpenSSL\bin
Please help and Thanks you.
Regards,
Jasa

you have to do more steps using openssl.
before you obtain the third−part certificate, you have to copy that on a notepad text, and you have to obtain an intermediate and root certificate from the company that gives you the certificate.
Then you have to copy and paste on a notepad or gedit:
SSL (the certificate that they give you)
Intermediate (the certificate that you obtain from the company that gives you the certificate)
Root (the certificate that you obtain from the company that gives you the certificate)
name the text file like: allcerts.pem
then... you have to run this commands:
C:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl pkcs12 -export -in allcerts.pem -inkey mykey.pem -out All-certs.p12 -clcerts -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassowrd
C:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl pkcs12 -in All-certs.p12 -out finalcert.pem -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassword
Then you are going to have a file named: finalcert.pem, thats the one you have to update to the WLC. please note that on those lines "yourpassword" is the password you use when you create the certificate and its going to be the same that you have to use for upload to WLC.
Note that you have to use openssl version 0.9.8 because its the only version thats WLC support
If you have doubts please contact me.
Have fun!

Risk Analysis for Third party ERP system

We want to perform offline risk analysis for third party ERP(SRM) system.... We have already GRC system installed with Global rule set for SAP ERP & want to have another ruleset for offline risk analysis.
Just would like to have a confirmation for below steps & estimated time for this.
Activities Need to be performed from Our side(Client) :-
1) Send the RAR format for Users/Roles/Actions & Permissions.
2) Cross Verify the format.
3) Create the connector for stored files.
4) Upload the files via Data Extraction utility.
5) Generate the ruleset for SRM(third party).
6) Schedule the various background jobs.
Activities Need to be Performed from Third Party - HUBWOO(Owns SRM ERP system) :-
1) Convert users/action/roles and permissions files to RAR format.
Activities need to be Performed from SAP :-
1) Provide the ruleset for HUBWOO SRM system.
Please let me know if I missed any step above & estimated time to complete from our end & did anyone has come across ruleset for HUBWOO system..?
Thanks in Advance!!

Thanks all for your reply,
Alpesh, but still I have small concern here, when SAP provide the ruleset files, it also provides for Oracle, People soft & JDE ERP.
Though these are also third party ERP's for SAP...?
Does it mean that we can'task for ruleset for other third party ERP from SAP...? or does SAP Charge something for it..?
Thanks

Proxies for third party

Hey guys
is it possible to create proxies for third party if i have WAS>6.2? suppose we are doing a File to IDOC scenario and have WAS>6.2 then is it possible to do it like Proxy(file)-XI-Proxy(IDOC) or i cant generate any proxies for Flat files?
thanx
ahmad

Answered myself.
no its not possible to create proxies for any third party,ABAP proxies are used to connect SAP systems and JAVA proxies are used to connect J2EE or J2SE .
as long as i have WAS>6.2
hope i m right?
thanx

It's most likely caused by a client agent setting called "Agent extensions manage the deployment of applications and software updates", see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx#BKMK_ComputerAgentDeviceSettings. It has to be set to "disabled" if you are not using any third party software that plugs into ConfigMgr.

Can someone explain the reason behiind this determination.
P.S.- For all non -Third PartyChild Items (with non-Third Party Item Catefory & Material Type), the Plant is population correctly as per Delivering plant in Material Master.
TIA.

However, can someone suggest work around to deal with this issue.I mean if any one has been doing any work around for this issue then please let me know.It s becoming critical for me.

PO document type for third party PO...?

Hello friends,
My client's requirement is that third party PO should have different document type, say ZTRD?
I tried to configure the same with PR and PO doc types. I created new PO type ZTRD. I maintained the combination of PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type ZTRD with item cat S. I also deleted the standard config i.e. combination PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type NB with item cat S.
I created third party SO which created third party PR (doc type NB). But when I tried to convert this PR into PO, still with above config, I am getting error - Doc. type/item cat. NB/S (requisition) <-> NB/S (purch. order) error.
Please help me to configure the Z doc type for third party PO.
Thanks in Advance,
Pat.

Hi
Please try the following, do not delete the standard settings
1) Create Z document type for PR and assign this document type to relevant Schedule line Category ( CS for example) in SD
2) Create Z document type for PO and keep only Item category S & Z document type for the Item category S created for PR.
Hope it helps.
Thanks/Karthik

PO Creation for third party sales

Hi
We have the scenario Third party sales and High sea sales which is already in use (already configured) , where PR getting generated automatically .
But client requirement is they want the PO to generate automatically by the system the moment i save the sales order .
Where is the setting in the SAP , where system will generate the PO automatically instead of PR
Please suggest

Hi,
Go to VOV7
Select third party item category which u r using in sales order >>> Deatils >>> under transaction flow >>> Tickmark to CREATE PO AUTOMATIC.
If you activate this field, the system automatically generates both a purchase order requisition for third-party schedule lines as well as a purchase order in the background when you save the sales order.
However u can not create PO directly.

Logical Sys Name for Business system in SLD for Third Party

Hi !!
I have little doubt what will be the logical system name for creating Business systems in SLD for third party?
thanks
Gowri

Hi Gowri,
sorry, i dont agree with the other answers. The logical system name is required for ALE partner finding. If you dont want to communicate with IDocs you dont need it. If you want to send messages from third party system to R/3 via IDoc adapter, then you should (can) give a name. It can be configured in IB directory as well (adapter specific identifiers). Choose any name, this name will be used for the partner agreement in R/3.

Udo

Process demand for third party direct shipment

Hello ,
I need help in below given areas. in our rollout client is given statement of work like this.
1)     Demand transfer to vendors
2)     Reminder processing
3)     Process demand for third party direct shipment
Please can you explain me about these area, how it works with example. it is very benificial for us.
Regards
sapman

Hi Sapera,
There can be 3 typse of trading scenarios
1. 3rd party with Shipping notification : Where in u create sales order and create PO against the PR which si triggered in SAles order adn hen MIGO followed by MIRO and Billing. Here Billing to the end customer can be doen before MIRO because the billign quantity considered is based on the goods Receipt( MIGO) quantity. Many a times you might have your personnels or soem mechanisms to cross verify the delivered quanity as some times the vendor might not dispatch the quantiy in the PO. Here the MIGO doen si consumption posting/Non valuated GR as physically it doenot come into your stock and therefore is not shown in our stock. ITem category used in TAS
2. 3rd party without shiiping notfication ; Here MIGO is not done and billig ncan be done only after MIRO as the billing quantity is based on the Invocie receipt quantity in MIRO
3. Bought in items/ Dealer Sales : Here you bring in the materials from the vendor to our depot plant and then dispatch it to the customer . Here PR is geenrated from sales order followed by PO and MIGO. After MIGO you have to do PGI followed by Billing. MIRO doesnot have any impact on the PGI or Billing. Item category used is TAB
But in all the three instancesthe configurational changes happen in schedule line cateogry and the account assignment which is maintiend in item category and for automatic determination of 2 different schedule line categories we need to maintian 2 different item categories alothough item category settings are almost the same.
Hope this was helpful in giving you some insights on the trading processes

Nithin

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

Best Regards,
Gurpreet Singh Saini.

Hi
Please find enclosed the details on third party.
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
10. Billing      *-- Seema Dhar

Third party Return Process
If the vendor grants you a credit memo on a quantity or a value basis, you can then send this credit memo directly to your customer.
The billing type Third-party credit memo (G2S) is available for this. The billing type Third-party credit memo works with the item category TASG (third-party credit memo item). The Billing-relevance indicator F is set in Customizing for Sales for this item category. This means that the cost is not created. In Customizing for Sales, the item category TASG is set at item level in copying control for the billing type G2S (copying control sales document by billing document) as the target item category (source: TAS-> Target:> TASG.)
Process Flow
Create a billing documente with billing type Third-party credit memo (for further information, see the section Creating a billing document in the Billing document). Enter the third-party order as a document still to be processed. The quantities are automatically removed from the invoice.
The above is the process for giving a credit memo which can be adapted for return goods.
Hope it will help you

Cannot close sales order for third party sales

Hello Gurus,
I cant seem to close a third party sales order even after it has been delivered and the incoming reciept match the sales order as well as purchase requisition or purchase order. at first I thought it was the difference in the unit of measure b/w the delivered products and the ordered products, but that is not the case because even when they are still the same and the quantities match I still have an issue and when I run VA05 (list of sales order) the sales order for the third party sales still shows up. An example is sales order XXX / PO XYZ/ Inv XYY u2013 ordered 45,000, shipped 39,980), we resolve it with the following steps below
1. change the PO quantity to match the invoice quantity
2. the requisition then re-opened itself automatically.
3. I then changed the requisition and marked it closed.
4. I then could go to the sales order and change the order quantity to match the billed and invoiced quantity. The rejection code 52 did not work u2013 I received a hard error: PO XYZ must be deleted before the line item could be rejected.
This is a whole lot of steps to perform just to correct 1 backorder. The reason that it had to be corrected is that the sales order mfg line stays on the Billing Due list and does not clear it self out unless you perform the steps above.
Also like I said even when all the quantities are the same I still have this issue so is ther any thing I can do to resolve this issue in configuration or otherwise and also we are using the satndard item category "TAS" for third party sales.
I will appreciate you contribution and help to resolve this matter
Thanks

Unfortunately, all the steps need to be performed to close the status. I think even giving tolerances will not close the status. If it is a regular sale order, a small BDC program may be written to change the sale order quantity to match the invoice quantity. Since its a third party and there are too many documents which are involved in the process using ABAP programs is not a convenient option.

GSL.

Order related billing for third party. Third party order..

Hi
While we are running batch job for billing system is throwing below error.
Order related billing for third party. Third party order..

Dear Nortel,
Can you Please check whether, during the item category configuration for TAS (T. Code: VOV7); you have marked relevant for billing indicator as F?
Also, maintained the copy control (T. Code: VTFA) between OR => IVA (for TAS) as follows:
Copying requirement = '013',
Invoiced quantity = 'F', (*)
Quantity/value = '+',
Pricing type = 'G'.
Best Regards,
Amit
