Procedure on Product Group and Versioning in MD61

Hi,
Can anybody send me a step-by-step procedure on how to execute the product group and versioning function in MD61at ching_pb @ yahoo com?
Tnx.
Regards

Dear Ching,
Are you working in an SAP version ECC 5.0 or 6.0?Then follow these steps.
1.Create a material using material type PROD in MM01.
2.Assign the materials to the product group in MC86.
3.Create a plan for this product group in MC81 for an inactive version.
4.Disaggregate the plan or create a production plan in MC76 for the same inactive version.
5.Transfer the requirement's to demand management in MC76 from inactive version to active version 00.
Check and revert back.

Find product name and version using JNDI

Is there any consistent way to find the directory servers product name and version using JNDI. Our software is being used with iPlanet 5.1 and SunOne Directory Server and I need to distinguish between them. Currently I use some code (see below) to look for an object under o=Netscape root branch. But the object I am looking for is apparently (so my sys admin tells me) created as part of the administration server install.
public static String[] getNetscapeFamilyDirectoryServerDetails(String ldapHost, int ldapPort, String principalDN, String principalPassword) throws NamingException {
try {
NamingEnumeration result = performLdapQuery("ldap://" + ldapHost + ":" + ldapPort,"o=NetscapeRoot?nsproductname,nsproductversion?sub?(&(objectclass=nsApplication)(cn~=Directory))",principalDN,principalPassword);
if (result.hasMore()) {
SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)result.next();
Attribute attribute = sr.getAttributes().get("nsproductname");
String productName = (String)attribute.get();
attribute = sr.getAttributes().get("nsproductversion");
String productVersion = (String)attribute.get();
return new String[]{productName,productVersion};
catch (Exception e) {
if (e instanceof NamingException) {
throw (NamingException)e;
return null;
}

SELECT i.instance_name, i.host_name, f.release_name RELEASE, i.version, k.patch_level FROM
v$instance i, fnd_product_groups f, fnd_product_installations k WHERE
UPPER(SUBSTR(i.instance_name, 1, 4)) = UPPER(SUBSTR(f.applications_system_name, 1, 4)) AND
k.application_id = '200';

How to create a Product Grouping and manage multiples?

How I can create a Product Grouping with 3 pieces of a product + 2 pieces of another product and ensure that customer can only order in multiples (6+4, 9+6, 12+8, etc.) and not for example 4+3?

Hi Madhavi,
You also need to assign the hierarchy to the application Product in Tcode: COMM_PRAPPLCAT.
There we have two settings,
1. Assign hierarchy to application.
   Make a new entry. Choose application Product and assign the hierarchy you
   have created.
2. Assign hierarchy to product type.
   In case you wish to have a separate hierarchy for each product type ( Material,
   Service, Warranty etc) than use this setting.
   Make new entry. Choose a product type and assign hierarchy to it.
Wish the information is useful. If it helps, do reward with points.

Related Products, Grouping and Product Attributes?

My client http://www.meluka.co.nz/home has a new product range of Sofas. A new sub-catalog called Sofas, under the LIVINGroom catalog will be created with the six new products. By selecting a product in this sub-catalog, you are then taken to the Individual Product – Large window. This is where the layout will need to differ as each product has five different fabric options and within these fabric options there needs to be a choice of up to eight fabric colors. I’m already using Grouping & Related Products within the site. Ideally I’d like a dropdown of the different fabric types (as currently used for Grouping) and once this is chosen then the different colors shown (using Related Products) for that fabric type. The problem that I have is that Related Products need to appear in a Catalog (or Sub-Catalog) and I only want one of each of the products appearing on the Sub-Catalog page (i.e. not all the different colors.) It would seem that Product Attributes may be the answer? The large image view needs to show the chosen fabric and color. Promotion starts next week so mildly panicking…

A combination of mandatory attribute groups, non mandatory attribute groups and javascript to show hide them based on the needs you mentioned above would be what I would be doing in that case.

Product group in COPA

Hi Gurus,
Can you plese let me know the procedure of creating 'Product Group' in COPA? I know this is very general question but I have no idea about this as when I went to KES1 and KEA6 I could find product Hierarchy but not prodcut group. I assume there is difference between both.
Regards,
Pushkar

Hi
   What is the difference between KMMAKL and MATKL characteristics when they are derived from the same table and field?
Will they be displayed with different names in COPA, like one as 'Product Group' and the ohter as 'Material Group'?
   My requirement is to have 'Product Group' characteristic in the operating concern. Right now, I see product group field in Cost Center to COPA assessment segments, but i am not able to populate it with material group.
   So should I add KMMAKL or MATKL, or can I add both?
Thanks in advance.

Product Group capacity can not be seen in MF50 output

Dear All,
I can not see the product group in 'total capacity' subscreen in output of planning table MF50.
In MF50 the input parameter i am entering is product group and plant.
In the scheduling tab of input parameters detailed scheduling and capacity planning is tick.
For some product groups i can see in output as "Product Groups / Total Capacity" and also in the rows below it shows "Prod.Grp XYZ" then requirement and available quantity rows. After which the production line rows follows.
For some product groups when enter in initial selection screen of MF50 with same input parameters in output i do not see Product group but i can see "Total Capacity Data" and then the rows starts with production lines. But no information on capacity of product group.
The setup of all product group is same and are created with MM01.
Regards,
Vero.

Hi Rupesh,
Thanks for reply.
In 'Control Tab' i am not selecting any parameter. So in output i can see all materials in 'Material Data' section which are included in product group irrespective of requirements.
I have issue in upper half section of 'Total Capacity Data'. I can see the different production line rows with Requirement / Available rows with capacity values in each period. Unit is %.
But i do not see 1st row for Product group row with 2 subsequent rows (requirement / available) with unit KG.
I can see these rows only for some product groups but not for all.
For the product groups for which i do not see these rows have capacity requirement in selected periods which can be seen in same output in production lines rows. (where selection in input screen is product group and plant)

How to map Product Group for the Materials in BW.

Hi All,
We have an requirement for one of the report called as Progress validation Report.
We have to craete thsi repotr which would pulll out Inventory value, Production Plan value, Total Lates, Current week deliveries and WIP for a quarter.
Cube whihc provides details about production plan has data by Material, plant and product group wise.
But rest of the cube from which we extract the key figures does not have data by Product grop wise.
Product group is been picked from PGMI table in R/3.
How I can related the materials which are in other cube to the respective Product group.
Material and the relevant prdoct group data doesnot flows in BW.
There is even a scenario where ahve seen a material falls under 2 product groups..
PLease guide as how i can realted already existing materials in the Cube to the product group.
Points will be assigned
Thanks & Regards
Vaishali Patil

Hi,
Product Group is master data for material master. It is part of Matreial Clssification data in R/3.
Please check if you are having the same already loaded as attribute of Material master. I guess it will be there, if it s not there then you should try to load the same in material master object which you are using in all the cubes.
If the maintinenece in master data is nopt possible then you got to populate the same in cube.
There will be a combination of keys (materail/plant/prduct family etc.. ( for which Product group will be unique). then load product with the help of these key combinations in all the cubes via update routine.
There is one more way to have this but which is performance intensive.
You may create one master data object called Product Group and keep material number as attribute (with compunding all other key fileds to get the unique combination). Then you may create an infoset using cubes and this master data object. Join the materail numbers in all. Display this object in report.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Material Group,Product Group

Hi ,
Can any one explain what is meant by Material Group, Product Group. Where is it used. What is the difference between
Material and Product Group. Do we need to have any prequisites for creating Product Group with Tcode MC84?.
Thanks in advance

Aditya,
Material Group:
This is basically a field in Material master Basic data1. This field is available in most of the Purchasing Reporting transactions and you can run reports based on them. Material Group is also used as a reference when creating Purchase Inforecord without any material number reference.
Product Group:
Product Group is a material master of type "PROD". This type of material master can only be used for planning purpose, you can assign finished materials(FERT) as members to them. Example: If you are manufacturing a product which goes in for several type of packings then you create a product group and assign the individual finished product material numbers as members, here we also define the proportional factors for aggregation and disaggregation.
Hope this helps your understanding.

Prasobh

Missing Software and version #

Okay, how would you all handle this:
In ZEN 7, we had JUST MSI And add/remove programs setup for software inventory. It actually did pretty good (example, it found a bunch of ESRI ArcGIS stuff).
It would show ALL the SDK (ie, there's an SDK for C++, one for VB, etc.)
It would also show the complete version and build number (ie: 9.2.134.21)
Now we are using ZAM 7.5 (in addition to ZEN, but eventually will cutover to ZCM)
Anyway, ZAM 7.5 seems even more limited in its software inventory.
It doesn't find any of the SDK's (I've had to submit multiple fingerprint wizards in the past for missing software).
It also doesn't report build numbers, just versions like 9.2
Sooo, what's the best way to handle this?
The missing stuff I'm either going to have to add more fingerprints (very time consuming as I have to go visit the PC's with the software to run the utility) or add local product (in which case I've gotta get the people to send me the .exe and whatnot). Either way, stinks, IMO.
And how should I handle the missing version information? It's in the windows registry at the least, but I'm not sure about the actual VBR info in the file. Do I submit an SR, enhancement request, run the wizard?
Version info is very important for us because it signifies the product patch levels (ie, it doesn't say like: Hi I'm ArcView 9.2 SP3, but rather, I'm 9.2.somethingsomethingsomethng)

Recognition in ZAM - and ZCM - has been, over time, focused more towards business applications than development applications. In that environment, recognition out to the build number is viewed as less relevant; accordingly, most fingerprints tend to report at the "N.N" or "N.N.N" level. The recognition technology is quite capable of reporting out to "N.N.N.N" and indeed that level of granularity is utilized when requested and appropriate. (We pickup the build from the VRB.) Further, when specified, "promotion" fingerprints will automatically discover versions with new build numbers in them and create new products on-the-fly. This type of fingerprint must, however, be engineered by Novell.
Generally, the recognition team has placed less emphasis on SDKs. We tend to make decisions towards products that will have impact on the majority of customers. But, as you've mentioned, we respond to requests for signatures.
From the software local products perspective, if you are gathering "software file" (the ZAM name) or "file scan" (ZCM) data, you shouldn't need to have files sent to you to create a local product. In ZAM 7.5 you can create a local product from the Software Files report in the web console fairly efficiently. It works even better in the ZENworks Control Center of ZCM 10. On a project earlier this year, at a customer site where there is a lot of internal application development and a strong commitment to populating the VRB on every update, we created over 150 local products - with different product names and versions - in about a minute.

Planning on Product group level

Hi,
We want to do forecast on the product group level.We have created 5 product groups and under each product group there are about 50 materials.Now for flexible planning I have created a infostructure with characteristics Product grp/Material and plant.
Can anyone help me out how i can do the plannig on different product groups with same infostructure.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Please find the below steps for flexible planning.
1.create a infostructrue with characteristics & key figures-MC21
2.Create a planning paramerters-MC7F
3.Create a planning type-MC8A
4.Create a product group-MC84/MM01
5.Create a Planning hirerachy-MC61
6.Create a plan using MC93
and regarding your issue you have to create a planning hierarchy .Once the planning hierarchy is done the data is avalible to create a plan
Thanks & Regards

Well, distribution groups don't really have a concept of "in" or "out". They only serve to distribute messages sent to them -- unless you're asking to know who was a member of the distribution group at the time a message was sent to the DL.
Message tracking logs hold the information you want, though. You'd have to look for EXPAND events that reference the distribution group and take the sender's e-mail address from that event. If the DL is a simple one that's not a member of any other groups
you could also look for RECEIVE events sent to the e-mail address of the group and get the sender's name from that event.
You can use Powershell extract the rows of data from the logs, but you'll have to write the code to get the data out of those rows and into a format you want. Perhaps LogParser could be useful in place of Powershell?

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,

How to assign a Sales Org and Product group

all the config have been maintained (creating the hierarchies/categories, assign the set types to categories etc.) under IMG->Cross-Application Components->SAP Product.
Also assigned the set type for sales data/product group for category MAT_DIEN.
But the fields from these section are greyed out when I try creating a product (not able to assign the sales org, or product group)
Edited by: Agarwal Ameet on Aug 9, 2010 9:56 AM

Dear Sun,
One way is:
Maintain the required setting in T. Code: VKOA.
Another way is:
Create an Internal Order (T. Code: KO01) with required Field-entries in
Tab: Assignment --> Profit Center; and
Tab: Period-end Closing --> Cost Center ( or G/L account).
and attach it to your Sales Order.
To know more about Internal Order Processing, refer:
[Internal Order|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/a9/ab7f68414111d182b10000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]
Or, consult FI-Personnel at your end.
