Product Allocation Enhancement for STO

Hi
Is there any BADI/ User Exit available for Product Allocation Check for STO?
Thanks

Hi,
You can use product allocation for the BOM material, this you can do by making the requirement class and schedule line active for PA, associated with the header material. followed by the standard configuration required for PA.
Logically, you should keep the PA active for the header material instead of sub-items. since the Sub items are part of the BOM.
In the item category config you can set the indicator to "A" for "Create delivery group", this will ensure the correct delivery date based on the availibility of both the header and sub-items.
Thanks,
Sunil

Production order enhancement for batches

We have a scenario where the batch expiration date of the produced material in the Production order = to the earliest expiration date of one of the component batches. Once the batches of the component are allocated in the Production order, we want do a enhancement which calculates the expiration date for the produced material based on the earliest expiration date of the component batches.
This scenario is typical of a pharama industry I would think. Does anybody know if there is a BADI/user exit/function module I can use for this purpose.
thanks a lot

For this you need to have a Z program which calculates the Expiry date of the finished product based on the component materials expiry date.
There will be some specific or Key materials basing on which you calculate the Expiry date of the Finished product.
Maintian a Sort String to such materials like 'K'.
Now get a program developed in such a way that during the population of batch characteristics for finished product when process order release, it should check for these component materials expiry date and take the earliest expiry date and calculate basing on this.
There was a BADI released for this purpose, some time when I was working in my previous project. I will check and let you know.
Till then you can explore on the above said option.
Hope this helps you.

Hello,
please have a look at the infostructure S140 in transaction MC23 and MC26.
this is the standard infostructure for product allocation.
I hope that the information are helpful.

Skip product allocation under certain conditions

Hi everyone. We are trying to use EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 which is supposed to be running prior to product allocation, so we can set up parameter E_AFLAG so that this functionality is skipped under certain conditions.
Exit documentation says:
User Exit: SD Product Allocation, Enhanced Checks
Functionality
The user exit is called up before reviewing the confirmed quantities against discrete allocations (from 3.0F).
Before this happens, the availibilty check is carried out if this is switched on in Customizing (ATP or against pre-planning). The results of this are transferred to product allocation.
You can carry out the following tasks with this function module:
1. You can switch off or miss out product allocation (E_AFLAG). This can be general or depending on characteristic values. Other values to help make this decision can be imported from the order coding memory.
However, the exit doesn't seem to be triggered during sales order processing. It takes us straight into the product allocation screen, ignoring the breakpoint and the skipping instruction.
Any ideas? Anybody is using this exit for this purpose? We run product allocation without running ATP. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!

sounds like this the problem.
as I understand,
if running ATP, EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 is hit, based on your logic, prod alloc is skipped.
elseif ATP is turned off, EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 is skipped, by default prd alloc is executed.
try setup break points on prod. alloc to see if you could have alternative flag to control...
go to debug mode and check call stacks to find another place to set break point.

Product allocation is not working after setting all required config!

Hi Sumitra,
Thanks a lot for your quick response!
Actually to say availability check is working but not product allocation.
I checked the settings in Material master MRP 3 view for strategy group and it is 40.
Availability check is 02 assigned. OVZ9 settings are assigned correctly 02-A- SD Order.
Not knowing what is preventing to reserve the stock against product allocation!
Do you or any one know where to see the product allocation stock?
Best Regards& Thanks a lot for your help!

Issue with Product Allocation Scenario

I am Trying out Product Allocation in APO (SCM 5.0).
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Now trying to carry out the Product Allocation check by creating a Sales Order in ECC. In that case during the material availability check screen in APO, the product allocation does not show up.
I believe it is related to master data settings for the product in ECC. My questions are as follows:
1. In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO). There in MRP3 tab Strategy Group is maintained. Is this along with Availability Check field responsible for determining the check instruction (combination of check mode + business event) in APO for the Product Allocation check.
2. If so (which I guess it is) I can see the check instruction picked up in APO while creation of sales order in ECC is different from the check instruction I ran simulation with. How can I ensure the same check instruction is chosen (in which case I believe the availability check result will be same as the ATP Simulation carried out in APO).
3. In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master). In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
4. Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
I guess some of the questions is a bit hazy but I would appreciate if someone can outline the Product Allocation Scenario. I am trying out based on Building Block S59 Demand Planning for Product Allocation but of course it does not detail out enough.
Disclaimer: My knowledge of GATP is almost nil but am exploring.
Thanks,
Somnath

Hi Somnath,
It will be a pleasure to help you out.
Firstly I will list out all the steps which I can think of:
(1) R3-You have moved all the ATP customizing from R3 to APO via ATP integration model.
(2) APO- goto SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions
Here go to Check Mode- 041 and Business Event- A and maintain the following settings manually in development and migrate it all the way to Production
I am assuming here that you want to first do an allocation check and then availability check**
Product Allocation: Change from NO CHECK to First Check
Product Check: Change from First Check to Second Check
This check mode and business event is the most common one which is triggered while placing a sales order
See the following blog for DETERMINATION OF CHECK MODE
http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/
There might be other check modes( 030, 050) which might also require this change. However you can judge that while placing a sales order and when you go to the availability screen, You have the tab - SCOPE OF CHECK CONTROL where you can see the Check Mode + Business Event
Following guidelines can be used to modify Check Instrctions after Customizing Import from R/3
1. Business Event A* is Sales Order Entry (The main scope of GATP) so define check instructions for all check modes since it is not possible to identify the requirement class that may come over on an order. For Business Event A* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
2. Business Event B* is normally for deliveries but is also required for Rush Sales Orders. An R/3 configuration showed that 041 is the only requirement class that will come across for this business event. Hence defined only for 041 check mode. For Business Event B* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
3. Business Event 03 required for Inventory Transaction availability check such as MB1C. For such transactions, the APO Product Master Check Mode is used. Hence check instructions for all Check Modes are maintained. For Business Event 03 if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Availability check as first step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability checks.
(3) Maintain the Product Alllocation Procedure:
a- Create a Product Alloc Object -- Example: PAO-001
In this step, we define the product allocations objects - product allocations are saved per object for a characteristics combination in the product allocation group.
Product Allocation Procedures can be used to maintain different Product Allocation Objects for different time validity periods.
Generally Product Allocation Objects are used to model the different reasons for the need for allocation material shortage, capacity constraint, etc.
b- Product Alloc Group--PAO-1234
A product allocation group defines a group of characteristics against which allocation checking is done.
 Creating a Product Allocation Group creates a characteristics directory in the APO database and an area in Live Cache where the key figures are maintained.
 If Check Planning Area is set to No then allocation and incoming order quantitiy data can be seen in table /SAPAPO/QTTAB. If the Check Planning Area is set to Yes then no data is stored in this table and the allocation check is done directly against the data in the Planning area.
 Detials of allocationconsumption by sales orders are maintained in table /SAPAPO/QTVB in APO and in QTVB in R/3.
If Check Planning Area is set to Yes and if there are users are in the change mode in the Planning Book, Sales Order Entry can get locked out.
If Check Planning Area is initially set to yes and then deactivated later you will no longer see data in /SAPAPO/AC42.
Settings:
Check Planning Area Yes. The reason being that users are not expected to lock planning books as they would be defaulted into the display mode (through a development object). Also most allocation uploads will be through batch jobs. Setting it to Yes reduces one step of moving data between the planning area and the allocation group.
Check Date - Material Availability Date. Consumption of allocation quantity and checking of available allocation quantities is determined by the check date.
Time Bucket Profile Week
Characteristics Product Allocation Object (1), Product (2), Plant(3), Customer(4)
Consumption Period Bwd Consumption 1
Meaning that first the order will consume from current week allocation and then go 1 week backward to consume.
c- Product Allocation Procedure --- PAO-4567
Step Sequence:

Factor
 12/31/2037 PAO-001 Check the Box 1
d- Maintain Connection to Planning Area (APO)
In this step, we maintain the assignment of the planning area to the product allocation group. We must make this assignment because characteristics of the product allocation group have different names from the info objects of the planning area.
All characteristics of a product allocation group must be assigned to an info object. But multiple info objects can be assigned to one info object. It is not always necessary to assign every info object to a characteristic. It is possible for aggregation and disaggregation (depending on the direction of transfer) to take place with info objects that are not assigned.

Alloc Qty - KCQTY
e- Check the Product Alloc Settings
This is only a check- Everything should be green and OK .
(4) You have planned the Characteristic Combination on which you want to do ALLOCATION.
Create a new POS- Which has your chracateristics as PRODUCT, PLANT,CUSTOMER, Product Alloc Object ( 9AKONOB)
Planning Area,- Key figures required are Alloc Qty, Order Qty( Sales Order Qty)
PLannig Book, Data View which has the following characteristics- Product, PLant
Assuming you are allocating at the following CVC level- Product, PLant,Customer
Step 1:
/n/sapapo/MC62-Create Time Series- Basicallly your CVCs -
Example: Product 1234, Plant INDIA, CUstomer WALKART
Step 2:
Move Characteristic Values Combination to Allocation Group (APO)
/SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K
INput :
Planning Area: xxxx
Prod Alloc Group: PAO-1234
(5) In the INtegration MOdel - Activate the ATP CHECK Integration model for the Plant and material
THis is the KEY which decides whether availability should be done in R3 or APO
Material Active in the integration model -- Means Availability( GLOBAL AVAILABILITY: Prod Alloc+Prod Availability) is done in APO
Material not active in the integration model --- Means Availability Check is done in R3
(6) APO MASTER DATA SETTINGS:
Material Master: On the ATP Tab, Assign Loc Dep Procedure ( Prod Alloc Procedure)
Location Master: Calendar Tab> Create a shipping time stream calendar
Additional Info: Please contact your R3-SD people as this involves a lot of understanding and I have not listed all the details here.
This config shown here is a very basic one which not even 25% of the companies might be using.
If you have any questions on this part- please see my business card and email me**
(7) SCHEDULING: This is a major task which determines the route and transit times for calculating the
Material Availability date
Goods Issue Date
Delivery Date
on the sales order line item- schedule line
I dont know whether you need info on this**There are many ways of doing this
a- Configurable Scheduling
b- COndition records
c- User Exit
You can find documentation in SPRO or else let me know*
For simplicity- Let me take the easiest to create and difficult to maintain master data- Condition Records
Step1 --Define Field Catalog for Condition Table (APO)
/SAPCND/AU01
Require Plant and Route defined here in the field catalog
Step 2- Define Condition Table for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU03
Create a new table- 901
901 - Pick Time based on Route with key as Route
902- Route Time based on route
Step 3- Maintain Access for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU07
Take the important ones- PICK and TRAN
I am assuming again as I dont know what kind of Scheduling is maintained on R3 Side. Mostly 80% companies have only two lead times- Pick and Route Transit time.**
PICK- Select pick and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-901
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select PICK and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as PICK--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
TRAN- Select TRAN and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-902
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select TRAN and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as TRAN--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
Now coming to maintaining the Condition records in APO EASY ACCESS
/SAPCND/AU11
Create SCheduling Step for PICK : Enter condition type- PICK
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -24:00 (Hrs)
Create SCheduling Step for TRAN: Enter condition type- TRAN
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -48:00 (Hrs)
Now Let me answer your questions:
(1) Question 1- In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO).
I did not undertsand what you mean here. As we can create a Material at the following locations in APO( Dist Center(DC), Manu Plant(PL), Cusomter, Vendor, etc)
For GATP all we need is the material at a PLant location
STrategy Group on MRP3 tab: This is purely used for determining the CHECK MODE value on APO Product Master.
When this is blank on R3, the check mode will be blank on APO.
However SAP recommends Putting in a strategy group value on R3 Material Master
or
a default Check MOde value for all those Products who have blank check mode- 041 is the best value * This piece SAP hasnt recommended but I found that there is No harm in anyway and it is MANDATORYfor inventory transactions like GOODS ISSUE otherwise you will get a QUEUE in SYSFAIL **
Even if this is blank this has no effect on the GLOBAL ATP as the Check mode for a SD transaction is determined as follows
98% of the SD transactions will generate a CHeck mode of 041 and Business Event- A ***
Through the item category and the MRP type in the MRP view
The item category is derived from the item category group in the Sales view of the material master record and from the order type of the sales document. Together with the MRP type in the MRP view of the material master record, the item category determines what requirements type is selected. The advantage of this method is that the selection of the requirements type depends on the business process (such as quotation, sales order, or repair).
(2) Question 2 - I guess now you must have understood why when you do a simulation in APO, it is taking the Check mode from APO product Master
and when you do a ATP Check from R3, the check mode(041) is different
You dont need to ensure that they are the same- It doesnt matter in anyway.
(3) Question 3- In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master).I
When you run ATP simulation- AC04, you generally run it for the plant as that is the supplying location and not the customer.
In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
PLease look above for this answer.
(4) Question 4 - Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
To my best knowledge, whatever I could remember I have listed out. However there are some more steps which might be needed.
Follow all the steps as I have mentioned and whenever you get struck somewhere, shoot me a message and I will help you.
ONe more pointer here to what you have mentioned
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Somnath, I believe you might have a wrong picture here. The concept of allocation is Controlling Supply against huge Demand which is in this case coming from SALES ORDER
When you place a sales order, the supplying location is your plant and that is where you would like to put in allocation quantities
Say for example for a material 12345 - You have stock of 100 Qty in Plant KING fo this week and it shows as follows in the planning book
Customers say are WALKART, GE-FUG, MACROGUN
The CVCs which we have to create are as follows
Similar to Demand PLanning**
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust WALKART-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust GE-FUG-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust MACROGUN-Prod Alloc Obj
And this is how it appears in the planing book when you go into DETAILS ALL
You basically enter the Allocation Quantities just as how you enter forecast quantities in DP Book*
 Wk1 | WK2 WK3 WK4 WK5
Alloc Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50 |
Cust GE-FUG 30 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
Incoming Order Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50|
Cust GE-FUG 25 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
50 : Say the Cust WALKART has ordered 250 for this week, however only the allocated quantity -50 will be confirmed for him and the remaining 200 qty will be confirme at a later week when he is given the allocated amount.
25 :Similarily say this customer GE-FUG has ordered 20 qty. So his remaining allocation is basically 5 which cannot be used by any other customer.
20 : Say this customer MACROGUN has ordered exactly the allocated amount of 20. So his remaining allocation will be 0.
This is the basic idea of how Allocation Concept is used in GATP.
Ofcourse you can add the other functionalities like
Rules Based ATP(LOcation Substitution, Product Substitution)
Multi ATP( BOM-COmponents)
Check Aginst Forecast
Etc Etc
Like any other module of SAP- this module has much to offer which unfortunately I cannot list here**
GOOD LUCK and let me know If you need additional help.

Product Allocation for STO

Hello Experts,
We would like to check Product Allocation for STO using two custom field. These custom field will be created as custom partner function for the customer (KUNNR) assigned to receiving plant (TO WERKS).
Could anyone help us with the relevant BADI and user exit that we need to implement?
Thanks,
Prasun

Hi Vinod
Thanks for the information.
We have gone through SAP Note 600883 and are checking the BAdI ME_TRIGGER_ATP and BAdI ME_CHANGE_CHARACTER. However, we are yet to find a way to make this happen.
If you have experience of similar implementation, could you please share more information on this?
Thanks,
Prasun

Add a custom field for Product Allocation

Hi experts,
I have copied S140 to S501 to add a custom field for product allocation.
I have added the custom field in MCVBAKUSR, so it is visible in MCVBAK.
However, I don't know whether I can populate data into custom field. I searched in forum, someone said it can be done in SAP enhancement MCS10001. But it can't work. I have tried to place a break-point in the code, and seems that throughout the order creation and product allocation check, it hasn't get into the codings in enhancement MCS10001.
Can anyone give me some idea on it? Thanks.

You should have simply extended VBAK table. It would've taken care of extending MCVBAK, etc. Then VBAK field would have to be populated in a user exit USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAK in MV45AFZB, when a document is being created/changed.

Product Allocation against STO

Hi,
This is regarding allocation check against stock transport order
1. As per SAP literature, Receiving plant (WERKS_TO) is available as a characteristic for stock transport orders:
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/27/31f938a1914358a9df1fcdc2b454ae/content.htm)
But in the product allocation field catelog, the above field is not present. So how to carry out the allocation check at this level?
2. What is the key figure to update incoming orders quantity. By default AEMENGE is available. Is the same key figure applicable for STO. If not, what is the key figure to update the incoming order quantity for STO. Where can it be added ?
Regards,
RS
Edited by: sap_apo31 on Jan 4, 2012 11:18 AM

Hi RS
1) Receiving Plant can be maintained as a customer with suitable Sales Area. Since customer is available as a characteristic in field catalogue, you can use the same. Alternately, you need to extend the structure (As Michael has advised). This is quite common requirement and your development colleagues will be able to help you.
2) Key figure will remain AMENGE irrespective of whether it is Sales Order or STO.
Thanks,
Prasun

BAPI for product allocation Check gATP

Hi all,
I read in the SAP documentation that we can use gATP on APO to check order item coming from non R/3 OLTP on product allocations.
Is someone test it, which BAPI or BAdi do we use?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Following enhancement is available for Product allocation.
Maintain Enhancement Projects for Product Allocation
In this IMG activity, you can edit customer exits for the global availability check.
Product allocations
The enhancement for the initialization is APOQT001 .
The user exits for product allocations are divided into two different call sequences:
Product allocations is the requirements check against the product allocation time series from planning. A complete check is executed for this call sequence.
The enhancements for product allocations are:
APOQT010 copy parameters
APOQT012 product allocations control
APOQT021 product allocations
APOQT022 consumption at beginning situation
APOQT023 order consumption
APOQT032 results control
APOQT033 sequence of product allocation procedures
APOQT007 product allocation assignment of partial deliveries
APOQT018 adjusting field catalog
The comparison adjusts the results of product allocations to the results of the other basic methods. This adjustment is necessary when product allocations is not the last basic method executed.
The enhancements for the comparison are:
APOQT011 copy parameters
APOQT014 product allocations control
APOQT024 consumption
APOQT034 results control
APOQT035 sequence of product allocation procedures
The sequence of the basic methods is configured in the check instructions.
When comparing, the entries in the table for the product allocation assignment and the temporary quantity assignments (delta records) are adjusted to the final results of the ATP check.
If the behavior of product allocations is changed by the user exits, the behavior of the comparison must be adapted accordingly in the corresponding user exits!
Thanks and Regards

Can I use the fields Product allocation and Basic material for bifurcation of material

Dear Users,
We have a requirement for bifurcation of material so we need two field in material master for fulfilling the requirement. First requirement is material category like insurance or revenue etc., second requirement is department wise like electrical, maintenance etc, so i have choosen the fields 'Product allocation' in basic data 1 screen in material master for fulfilling department requirement and then in basic data 2 i have choosen 'Basic Material' field for fulfilling material category requirement. My doubt is whether this change will effect the reports and i need to know the effects of such changes.
Thanks,
Manoj

As you are trying to use the standard fields, so you can read the F1 help for these fields.
Also check in which table and program, the fields are used.
Read the F1 help and find the table and program by using this document How to find Table name for a Field which is shown structure name on press F1.
After reading this, If these fields are suitable for your requirement, then you can continue.

Product Allocation--Can we Have in MC94 Planning for 2 or 3 materials

Hi,Experts ,
As MC94 shows only one column for every Months allocation ,example 07.2009,08.2009.........
then--->
1>can we have 2 or 3 materials and 2 or 3 customers for same Production allocation Procedures
like can we have 0000000000001-Product Allocation procedure same for all materials and same customer groupe like 01 for 3 or more customers .
2> MC94 for Product allocation Planning can we product allocation for 2 or more materials and 2 or more customers for reserving quantities like 03 for product allocation,if yes how?
if ,no then how can we have allocation for different materials say for 6 quantity in MC94.
If I have to book for material A 8 quantity,material 2--9, material --10 quantity for product Allocation and same for customer 1 ,customer 2 then how will i do in MC94,all this in simultaneously though I have assigned the same allocation procedure and allocation object assigned and work out in MC94 at a time for all of these then How do i reserve all of them in single instance for Product allocation.
3>Can we have ordered quantity in sales order as 10 and if in MC94 we have 4 as product allocations then what would be resultant schedule lines 4 or 10.
if confirmed quantity is 10 in sales order then whats use of product allocation of 4 quantity in MC94.
Experts Pls clarify with your contacts and emails.
Thanks

For Point No 3
Can we have ordered quantity in sales order as 10 and if in MC94 we have 4 as product allocations then what would be resultant schedule lines 4 or 10.
if confirmed quantity is 10 in sales order then whats use of product allocation of 4 quantity in MC94.
In in MC94 you have allocated 4 pieces then schedule line will also be of 4 only..And the remaining quantity will be confirmed for next month schedule line in case you have allocated sufficient quantity for next month also in MC94.

3rd party process using product allocation for ATP-check

Hi all,
is there anybody out there who can share experience in setting up the 3rd party process using product allocation on APO for ATP-check? As the documentation is not that impressive any help is higly appreceated.

Enhancement for partner determination in STO

Hello, SAP gurus!
We are working on enhancement to copy CR partner role (forwarding agent) from supplying plant's vendor master to STO partner tab. We have found a way, how to select the data and fill it in structure MMPA, which will update STO partner data during STO save. The problem we are facing now is the missing partner data in parnters tab on ME21N screen, when the data is copied. Data is filled in MMPA structure, but something is still missing so it is not displayed on screen, thus it cannot be changed or seen.
Has anyone figured out working solution for this, as SAP does not support partner determination for STO's sccording to note 117537?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
