Process "reconditioning a part at supplier"

Hello alltogether,
i have one scenario which I don't know how to setup in SAP.
We have a lot of customers who send parts to us for reconditioning.
Process should be as follows:
1.) receive parts from customers (free of charge, they don't belong to us!!!)
2.) send as much parts as I can (free of charge) to one or different suppliers (depends on the parts!) for reconditioning once a week
3.) Supplier will send partial or full delivery of all reconditioned parts to me
4.) I will have to create a couple of "customer deliveries" and invoices where I just charge the service (parts are still free of charge)
Does anyone know the best practice (and fastest) ?
Thanks in advance
Wolfgang

ERROR:Could not read archive file - during Processing Base System Part 2

Hi there,
What I have:
* I have problem with installation of the Mac OS X Panther v10.3 on iMac.
* I have 3 original CDs (black with silver X).
What I did:
* I made new 1 partition and formated disk as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) over the Disk Utility in the first CD as normal without additional options (if I tried to format disk with zero all data and 8 way random write format after 3 days computer freeze)
* I verified disk over this utility - that was ok - HFS volume verifed.
* Then I restarted the computer and ran installation from this first CD
What happened:
* installation did not finish, because there were some problems during installation process.
* i tried to customize installation just for essential work (without other languages support, printers etc), but it was still the same problem
Installation log:
After I choosed installation type, there was first error, but it did not look like important.. - root: bootstraplookup(): unknown error code

It seems like a problem with reading some data from the CD, but during the installation checking of disk was ok.. maybe it can be problem with the cd-rom..? Or problem with data on cd-rom - I mean bad archive file..? But it is original CD.. What do you think??
Thank you!

Pre-populate the process form as part of Role Alignment - Need suggestion

Hi,
As part of implementation we are going to take over the Provisioning of AD (Via Groups-->Access Policy) using OIM which was initially configured to provision manually. Now as part of migration we required to assign a base group to the users who has already AD reconciled resource (and align it with policy via SQL updates -->POL_key is process form, OIU_POLICY_BASED in OIU table). We are doing this as part of direct SQL updates. The other part of the requirement to align the process form values using the configured pre-populate adapters (for e.g. if the current value of any attribute is X and the prepopulate adapter suggest that it should be Y then the migration should also update this attribute.) We tried to use the prepopulateProcessForm API of tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf but it seems this is working only when the System Validation is in Pending state. The other option we are thinking of putting java code and then call the prepopulate adapter by passing each input params and updating tha value via API if any update is required. Just wondering if there is anything else we can use as part of bext practices. If anyone has done this kind of implemntation please let us know your inputs. Thanks

Hero,
You want to ...
1. create users
2. give them privileges
3. assign them to groups
4. assign a default groups to users
You will need to do this in the following sequence of steps...
1. Populate the user entries in OID, and assign the default group
2. Create the groups in OID and assign the users to them
3. Assign the appropriate portal privileges to the groups
For step 1 and 2, I'll have to refer you to the OID Administrator's Guide for Release 9.0.2.
This document contains a lot of good information, but in particular, you'll want to review Appendix I ...
"Migrating User Data from Application-Specific Repositories". This addresses the LDIF migration tool
and describes the schema elements needed for the IAS user accounts.
For step 3, the easiest way would be to assign the privileges to the groups through the user interface. Once the groups are defined
in OID, you can select them via the Portal UI to assign the portal privileges to them.
The proper place to locate portal instance-specific groups is under the portal instance group base, which is
cn=portal_groups, cn=groups, <subscriber_base>. The following white paper
may be helpful to understand the organization of the directory information tree.

Email PO Workflow Process - Send Notification to Web Supplier???

Hello,
We're on 11.5.8. I'm looking at the Email PO workflow process in POAPPRV. Can someone tell me the difference between the 'Does user want document e-mailed?'/'Email PO' functionality in the process and the 'Send notification to web supplier?'/'Notify Web Supplier' functionality. I want to customise the email to the supplier but am confused as to which half of this process requires customisation.
Thanks in advance,
- Matt Symes

Hello,
Is this for emails inside or outside of SAP?
I don't know if it's a standard feature of PO release workflows.
You could set up a test workflow with a SENDTASKDESCRIPTION step and see if it includes a link to the object instance.

Process\Tips on disabling a supplier who is set up as ERS or Pay On Receipt

Has anyone ever turned off a supplier that is set up on ERS, Evaluated Receipts Settlement, aka Pay on Receipt? We have some vendors that we want to disable this for and would like to know of any issues\problems and processes that anyone has encountered that would help us do this. Thanks for any information you can provide.

1) Change the site(s) for the supplier and remove information in the self-billing area (Purchasing tab)
2) Wait a few days before you bleed thru' prior purchase orders that already have pay on receipt set.
3) Make sure you have invoiced all old POs that were received.
Till that happens, you will be have manual as well as ERS invoices for that supplier.
Sandeep Gandhi
PS: If supplier was on consignment, you may have some additional changes.

Get process ID by part of its process name

I have a process which can change of name depending on the version of the application which runs that process.
For example:
myProcess64.exe
myProcess65.exe
Is there a way using Sigar to get the process Id by specifing something like `myProcess%` ?
Right now I'm using this:
ProcessFinder find = new ProcessFinder(this.sigar);
long[] pids = find.find("Exe.Name.ct=" + this.processName);

Sadly Spotlight's string matching algorithms are anything but intuitive. While Spotlight may be "smart" enough to know that a search for "Paris" is not intended to search for "comparison", it apparently assumes bit too much when it determines that a search for 'ft' does not intend a search for the string embedded in 'usft'. The sadly inescapable upshot of this is that if you want Spotlight filename searches to be effective, you either have to memorize its idiosyncratic rules and set up your searches accordingly, or start naming your files in a way that conforms to its search capabilities. Of course if you have a few hundred or thousand files that you named during the pre-Spotlight period 1984 - 2005, you may have to use another search utility, like the third party EasyFind, to continue filename-based searches with any efficiency.

Hi, I am prompted to download the latest I Tunes software (10.7) (I have done this sucessfully for other versions many times before)
The process starts but stops quite quickly.A message pops up "Errors have occured while installing updates, if the problem persists choose Tools>Download Only and install manually" When I try this it still fails but another message pops up "Invalid signature, the download has been removed"
Not very sharp on computers so any help would be appreciated.

Requistion for items partly issuedby internal org and partly by supplier

Hi,
I have a typical requirement wherein an employe raises a requisition for 5 items, so the system should look for availability in warehouse, if say 2 items found then Internal issue should be made and balance 3 number should be obtained from external supplier.
I am only using OM and INV and PO modules. No MRP/ASCP.
Is this functionality possible by automation?
Need your feedback ASAP.
Thanks

Find a Sub Process Executed as part of a Main Process

Hi Experts,
My Requirement is to Create a .Net Application which constantly monitors if a POPUP Window of a Third Party Application is Open or Closed. As Soon as the Popup window is closed (There is an OK Button in the POPUP Window on click the window gets closed).
I would like to run a Batch File which would do some maintenance activities.(I have already created the batch file) But I don't know how to Monitor if a POPUP Window of Third Party Application is Closed
I Don't have access to the Third Party code.
From the Task manager(of Windows Server 2012) i can see that the POP UP Window is displayed as a Sub Process under the main Process.
Can you please suggest if this is possible, if so how to go forward with it.
Joji

Hello Joji,
It seems that you are trying to hook a the windows close event from a .NET based application, as far as I know, there is not such a api available in .NET, you could have a try with windows api as SetWindowsHookEx function:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644990(v=vs.85).aspx to intercept WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT and WM_DESTROY. And check this link for an example of its usage in C#:

How to ship a suppliers sample part to a customer to sample?

Hi Experts,
We are an end to end Oracle shop, currently using Oracle R12 version.
I have a business scenario and am seeking your help to identify the best way to map the process in the system
Goal:
Ship sample parts received from suppliers to customers to sample
Assumptions:
Customers are globally situated;
Sample Parts do not exist in INVENTORY and On-hand Balances;
Samples from suppliers are tracked outside of system
Reasoning for Extension:
To create shipping documents for shipping sample parts to overseas customers for freight carriers and govt bodies like customs etc.;
To have sample parts visibility
Frequently, we receive sample parts from suppliers. While some parts are sampled within the organization, others are shipped out to customers to sample as well before these parts are added to Item Master and sourced for individual resale or roll up in an assembly for future resale. Many of these parts are high dollar value therefore creating proper shipping document along with documentation for customs is also necessary for international shipping. Client would like to map this process in Oracle Order Management so they can create shipping documents and track visibility of samples when they're sent out. I need help in identifying the best way forward to map this business cyclei n Order Management.
Many thanks in advance to you all, and, I eagerly await a positive response.
Regards,

So how to ship something that isn't shippable and doesn't exist as far as Oracle is concerned....
Just brainstorming but, I think I would:
Create a dummy sample item that is customer orderable, but not shippable, and has a cost of 0
Set up an item cross-reference that maps the true sample item description to the dummy sample inventory item
Set up your price lists to have the sample at 0 price
On the order, enter the cross-reference item into the ordered item field
Create a custom order header workflow copied from the standard order workflow with a custom process that creates the necessary shipping documents and sends to the shipping manager
Create a new order type for samples using the customized workflow
Create custom workflow for the lines that does nothing but close them

Supplier entry - Any process flow ideas?

Hello,
This is a question beyond the Oracle Applications itself...I believe.
We are reviewing our processes and found that the Supplier Entry is taking more time than we thought and worst, several errors are being encountered.
Our Supplier Entry flow is as follows:
1. The buyer collects data from the new supplier (by email and corporate letters)
2. The buyer sends emails to Finance and Accounting, notifying about the new supplier record.
3. Accounting replies that email, asking for detail information on the new supplier, so they can assign the proper accounting combinations for liability and pre-payment (those accounting combinations depend on the supplier type and country of the supplier)
4. Finance asks information about the bank account of the supplier.
5. The buyer sends the proper information to Finance and Accounting. Accounting replies with te proper accounting combinations.
6. Finance receives information on the bank account. Enters the new supplier bank account.
7. The supplier record is created by someone at Purchasing (restricted responsibility)
8. Finance assigns the bank account to the supplier.
As you see...it can take time!
And worst, some times there are a lot of new suppliers to be entered on Oracle.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
Please, be kind and share some ideas on this topic.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards.

Hi,
You can use customized form, workflow and APIs to reduce the time and communication error. through workflow notification you can send email to supplier for bank details.
Our Supplier Entry flow is as follows:
1. The buyer collects data from the new supplier (by email and corporate letters)
2. The buyer sends emails to Finance and Accounting, notifying about the new supplier record.
A: Build one customized form and give access to buyer. Buyer enter main supplier data and send it to finance throgh notification (workflow).
3. Accounting replies that email, asking for detail information on the new supplier, so they can assign the proper accounting combinations for liability and pre-payment (those accounting combinations depend on the supplier type and country of the supplier)
B: They will fill the accounting information on Customized form which open through the notice.
4. Finance asks information about the bank account of the supplier.
5. The buyer sends the proper information to Finance and Accounting. Accounting replies with te proper accounting combinations.
6. Finance receives information on the bank account. Enters the new supplier bank account.
C: Buyer should enter the email address of supplier on the form. Through the email address, finance will send an automatic mail to supplier for bank information.
7. The supplier record is created by someone at Purchasing (restricted responsibility)
8. Finance assigns the bank account to the supplier.
D: Finance will Assing the bank account once the information will get from supplier. And the whole record (customized table) will transfer into Oracle Application through API.
Note: You need one developer who have knowlege of OA framework / Oracle web form developer, work flow and API knowledge.

Creation of Inbound delivery mandatory for ASN process in classic scenario?

Dear Experts,
We are going for classic scenario for our green field SRM implementation process. Our client is not using ASN process in their existing MM process. However, they are now looking for an oppurtunity to enable Suppliers to trigger ASN using SUS. In such case, is creation of inbound delivery from Buyer side a mandatory process?
Is the below the process correct?
PO -> ASN (Supplier using SUS) -> Inbound delivery (Optional) -> Goods Receipt (Mandatory) -> Invoicing.
Here, I understand that Goods receipt can be verified against the PO or via Inbound delivery to PO. ASN will inform the store keeper in advance about impending goods receipt and smoothen the confirmation process.
Could you please comment on the above process? Could you please suggest the best practices followed here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hey Ranjan!,
You are on track.
The process flow you have shown is true. ASN is available as a standard as part of the MM-SUS process. It makes the buyer aware of any delays in delivery or to make arrangements on shipping docks to receive goods on a said date etc.

Nikhil

R12 - Multiple programs to be submitted in supplier remittance and bank trf

in 11i, the AP payment programs was set up such that a custom SQL program is triggered during "Bank Transfer" and "Supplier Remittance" processes
The custom SQL program has a logic to submit multiple reports for each process. E.g. Supplier remittance has a "Covering letter" followed by another program for the actual supplier remittance
How do we acheive this in R12 using PPR and payment formats? Since in R12 only layouts can be modified, how to submit multiple reports / concurrent programs for each process ?

Hi
Thanks for the response.
But there are some cases where there are 3 and also 4 programs submitted as part of payment process. In 11i this was achieved by submitting an SQL based program which in turn submitted multiple programs.
How to submit 3 or more programs using PPR or payment process profile features of R12 ?

RS&R Process - To take the Stock in SAP

Hi SAP Gurus,
How to handle the Repair Service & Recondition (RS&R) material in SAP. For Example we are procuring PAC Compressor / SMPS Module / Controller (Which can be repaired and use again). First time we are showing the consumption with original value.
After repair & recondition How to take the stock in SAP & How to show the consumption with Rs.1 or 0 Value. So that we can track those items in SAP wothout affecting the moving average price.

Hi,
Generally, Repair of Materials are handled via concept of Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable). But, SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Try the below suggested procedure as a work around process;
Repair Process (Reconditioning) via Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair (Reconditioning) as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
It's not necessary to have materials as Non-Valuated always, it depends on your requirement.
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511) - Only if Stock of Material is not available.
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
8. MIGO - Goods Issue > Others (Do GI of Subcontracted Material using Movement Type 502 or 512)
