Hi Samuli.
Is there any option to have automatic advancement of the ER status when I click on Approve button in the PLM inbox.
Can this be achieved thru configuration or need to work this out through development.
Kindly advice.

Unable to Open Process Route Tab in DIR (PLM webUI page)

Hello PLM Guru's
I am unable to open the Process Route Tab in the DIR Web UI page.I get an error message for "Name: AcfApplet, Publisher : SAP AG , Location :http://..../com_sap_acf_updown.jar".When I click run it keeps running but not opening the Process route page. This does not happen when I open Process route for BOM/Material Master.
Is there any problem with my browser settings or any SAP config?
Kindly advice.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Jo,
the issue can be with your Java version and SAP ACF version. SAP has just released a new version of ACF which should be compatible with the latest Java version.
You can try to look on the following SAP notes (take the first as first):
1224097 - PLM Web User Interface: Installation of Applets
1868468 - ACF: file upload/download security warning mixed mode
1958459 - AcfUpDownload, AcfExecute, ActiveXControl: Events werden nicht verarbeitet

Configuring Process Route

Hello Guru's
While configuring the system for Process Route for an ER type, I had the event "INPROCESS" set at status 10 under STATUS ADMINISTRATION profile and also to activate the change master at status 10. When I create the Engineering Record and navigate to status 10 I get the lead change number and also I can see the work item sent icon( yellow icon) next to agent's name in the Process Route Tab. But I don't see the same work item in my Work Overview - Workflow inbox until I move the ER status to 20 ( ie 10-15-20) which is to me is little weird.
There is no event set for status 20.
Also in Workflow Inbox I am not able to see the work item under Process Routing Work Item. The work item shows only in Eng Record Work Item.
Am I missing any configuration here.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards
Jo Pz

Hi Ravi,
Thank you very much for your advice.
Please see below my answers.
a) After changing to status 10. When I try to refresh the PLM inbox,it takes long time and just keep spinning.
b) Please see the attached screen shot of SWEL. Kindly let me know if I am missing a config.
c) Attached is the screen shot of SWI1
d) Work Item shows in SBWP and not PLM inbox.
Kindly advice.

Workflow process route

Hello,
Is there any way to retrieve process route for a specific item key by SQL or PL/SQL instead of application web page? The table WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES doesn't contains enough information about how the process goes through. many thanks.

Workflow for Process Route in SCASE not getting triggered

This is for the credit case workflow using a process route. I have carried out all the necessary settings in config for Process Route setup in Case Management. I have activated the type linkage for standard template WS78900007 and refreshed the organizational environment. When I created a case and assigned the processor using process route, it doesn't trigger the workflow. Any ideas for fix ? Thanks.

Start Processing for Documents

Dear Expert ,
In IMG activity there is node called 'Start Processing for Documents' under General Data of Document management system. Now anyone can explain me significance of that process or nod in DMS with one business scenario.
Regards
Bhuwan Tiwari

Hi Bhuwan
One of the process u can add is the Mass deletion Indicator for the DIR s from the Search function.
Use function module DMS_PROC_DOC_DELETE in the "Start processing" node
If u enabale this, in cv04n results screen, u can see a button called Process and using the same you can set Mass deletion indicators for DIR's

Process Route Configuration

Hello Guru's
Kindly do let me know what type of setting I should set in the configuration for bringing the Text box in the dialogue box "Add Task to Process Route".
I recently saw in SAP document which has the Text box showing.
Please see the attached screen shot for correct information.
Also I would like to how I can I assign Deadline monitoring task in Process Route through configuration.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Jo,
The Process Route In PLM ECR was build on top of the Case Management APIs and is currently not as robust as the ORGANIZER or SCASE transactions. The configuration screen shot put by you relates to the R/3 solution. For PLM Web UI, as Tamas pointed out, you require to get the custom solutions developed by SAP Partners.
Alternatively, if you have a good knowledge of ABAP Web Dynpro and ABAP Workbench then you can create your own Enhancements. The Web Dynpro application and views to be enhanced is:-
a) Web Dynpro Application: /PLMU/WDC_PR
b) Views: V_PROCESS_ROUTE_ITEM for Process Route Items,
V_PROC_ROUTE_HEADER for Process Route Header,
V_PROCESS_ROUTING for the Process Route Tree
Once you insert your Text Elements in the Process Route popup, you can then write the business logic within the method tab of either the Component or the Views.
Note: In case you are using the PLM Applications in the DMZ (De-militarized Zone) and want to do custom coding, then I strongly recommend you to follow the SAP PLM Web UI Framework. But if the ECR application is meant to be accessed within the organization and there are no plans to utilize the DMZ capabilities of PLM 7.X, then you can custom code directly within the Enhancement Framework.

Start Process From Scanned Document In Watch Folder or Email

Looking for a way for a office person to scan a document into a watch folder or email a scanned document to LCES2.
Then from that scanned document a process is started and the user in workspace has a routing slip (pdf) and the scanned document in view.
I can see how to start the process with a email or watch folder but how do I get the scanned document in as a attachment to the process routing slip?
Somewhat new to LC and not seeing any demo's on this. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
John

Hi Jasmin,
I'm facing a problem with the watched folder files, they appear under the Attachment tab for the user, but with broken links, i.e. "The requested resource () is not available" error.
what I did is simply create a new process with watched folder start point, define a list-document variable as I/O and assign this variable to the user service?
can you help

Change Number and Process Route

Hi Experts,
I have seen in the Change Master Web-UI is a register for Process Route.
When I'm trying to create a Process Route, the Activities are missing.
Where is the customizing to set Process Route Activities for the Change Master?
And where is the customizing to create the event to start the Process Route?
I have allready done some customizing for the SAP Case Management and the Engineering Record.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Thomas

To customize process route to the change number in the Web-UI the following steps has to be done:
Create Activities
To create activities use TA SRMCUSTOMIZING: Records Management --> Customizing for Process Route --> Create or Change Activities and Activity Functions
Create new entries depending on ECN_DIS
Define Activities for GOS-Objects
To define activities for GOS-Objects use TA SPRO: SAP Customizing Implementation Guide --> Logistics - General --> Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) --> PLM Web User Interface --> Objects in PLM Web UI --> Process Route --> Define Activities for GOS Objects for Process Routes
Create new entries depending on the activities created before and for the Object Type PLM_ECN
Check Agent Assignment for all created Standard Tasks
Now it is prossilbe to add steps to the process route to a change number.
To start the workflow the following steps has to be done:
Define Type Linkages for Workflow
TA SWETYPV - Type linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: START_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Define Instance Linkages for Workflow
TA SWEINST - Instance linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: STOP_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_COMP_EVENT_RECEIVE_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Thanks for your help

Process Route Cannot Execute

Hi，
We want to use Process Route with PLMWUI. I have activated WS00100012 and TS00100010 and all the other required configuration in PLMWUI.
When I start a workflow on Process Route, the agent received the work, when executing this work item it doesn't lead to the activity but the Process route item(as pic below). What do i missing in the configuration?
Regards

Hi,
the process route has already been started as per your screenshot. You can check it in the PLM Workcenter in the Workflow inbox. You need to use Portal or NWBC to check the PLM WebUI.
You can check the followings as well:
PLM Web User Interface - Business Functions (SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0) - SAP Library
PLM Web User Interface 2 - Business Functions (SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0) - SAP Library

How to install Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier

hi,
i need to install BPEL process manager, so i download the following file from otn
1.soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1
2.soa_windows_x86_bpel_101310
here i read the document named b28980.pdf from bpel\doc\pc.1012 to install BPEL PM
so i start to complete the pre-installation task
1.installed Oracle database 10g
2.Run the Integration Repository Creation Assistant on the Database
3.Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release3 (10.1.3.1.0) and select either the J2EE Server installation type or the J2EE and Web Server installation type. selected J2EE and Web Server installation type
and installed according to the Oracle application server installation guide.
installed OracleAS in the path : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
4.Install the current release of Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier
here they mention to select the J2EE and Web Server installation type because that type is selected in Oracle AS installed in Oracle Application Server
so i start to install the BPEL PM by selecting the setup.exe-->and shows the location source and destination
default destination is : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 selected next on the screen
the next screen is select installation type here there are two types named
1.BPEL process Manager for Developer (371MB)
2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB)
i selected 2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB) and click next
pop up window opens with title dependencies
error:
BPEL Process manager for oracle AS Middle tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 J2EE server and Web Server Or J2EE server instance. this location does not contain this instance. Please select new Oracle home that contains a supported instance.
so i changed the destination path to : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN then also i got the same error.
please any one mention the path for J2EE and Web Server instance for installing the BPEL PM for Oracle AS Middle Tier.
Thanks in Advance
Aswath Thaniga

If you choose the developer version you will be fine.
If you have installed J2EE and Web Server installation into D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 then this is the location you install your BPEL PM into, not D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 or D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN.
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 is what we call the ORACLE_HOME, generally we create a new home for each install, but in this case there is a dependency on 10.1.3.1 OC4J container. So it needs to be installed into 10.1.3.1 oracle home.
The bin directory is just the executables for that home, its not the actual. home.
cheers

Process Required for Third party sales

Hi Guru ji's ,
Pls let me know the step by step procedure for Third party sales processing.
on the below conditions.
1] Sales order to be created automatically based on the Bapi .
2] Based on the Sales order, automatic Purchase order and Gr must happen.
3] Automatic invoices must also be created automatically.
Can any one explain us what is to be done under the above said conditions,
Best Regards,

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.

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

Required report for the invoice processed twice for the same PO & Vendor

Hi SAP MM experts,
I want a report which is to identify the same invoice processed twice against the same vendor and same PO which system cannot detect only because the invoice numbers are manually entered slightly different, and that is why I also want to include the document date of the invoice so that the possibility of identifying the duplicated invoices is increased.
Any help will be highly appriciated.
Thaks in advance
Sachin Patil

You might also refer reports ME80RN,ME2N,ME2L for purchase order or refer report MIR5 for vendor.
Also refer report FBL1N - vendor open items,Check for document type - 'RE'
Whether check for double invoice is ticked accounting view of vendor master ? or else
Check double invoice is configired for which combination in LIV SPRO ?
