Production process flow

Hi all,
Below is the list of doubt.
1.can any one sent me the production process flow diagram with tranaction and the tables that have used in the transaction.
2. what is mean by backlash in production process
with regards,
paul

backflush means automatic good issue document generation after the actuall physical issue of the material in the shop flooor.
suppose u have backflush for component in the order, then u will issue the same while production of the header material, but there is no updation in the system so when u will do teh confirmation for the order then automatically in the background document will be generated for the issued componenets.
backflush can be defined in Material master, work center and routing with decending priority....

User Defined Activity "hangs" Process Flow if it runs for more than 10mins

I have been using OWB (10g r2) for a while and have used "User Defined" activities in production process flows successfully before.
However my problem now is that the activity (shell command) I want to perform, takes more than 10 minutes to complete. If I run the process flow with a parameter that generates a shell command that executes in two or three minutes, the process flow continues past the sucessfully executed user defined activity to the next activity.
BUT
If I run the same process flow (without modification or even redeployment) with a different parameter , the user defined acivity sucessfully executes (after about 11 minutes or so) but the process flow , doesnt seem to know that it is finished and just says it is still executing.
my "user defined" activity has
COMMAND: /usr/bin/ksh
PARAMETER_LIST bound to a variable which is set earlier in the process flow.
RESULT_CODE:
SCRIPT :
SUCESS_THRESHOLD : 0
by examining (RUNTIME CONTROL CENTER SCHEMA).all_rt_audit_execution_params
I can see that the variable contents assigned to RESULT_CODE look like this
'/usr/bin/rsh -n WINSRV1 dtsrun /usa /ppw /S WINSQLSRV /N JOBNAME_SHORT'
or this
'/usr/bin/rsh -n WINSRV1 dtsrun /usa /ppw /S WINSQLSRV /N JOBNAME_LONG'
I put the -n in because I thought that may have been the problem, but I think its more likely that there is come sort of ".properties" in a runtime file that needs to be set to control the "timeout" of user defined activities.
(like in Runtime.properties
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.Shell.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
except maybe
.........Nativeexecution.timeout = .....?????
Has anybody had a problem like this? Found a document describing available configuration properties for PF activites?
Can anyone help?

Garment Process flow

Please tell me standard, common, step by step production process flow for garment manufacturing with type of manufacturing.
Thanks and regards
Samir

HI
Garment process generally it depends on the planning.
some industries they go with Make to stock MTS (based on forecasting and other sales data.) and some they go with Make to order MTO.(based on customers orders)
so in SAP the PP strategy uses as 40 it used for Both MTS and MTO.
Process:
1.Purchasing of finished fabric(which is already died or woven from the looms),embellishments(buttons,trims etc)
2.The fabric goes for cutting based on design and sizes.
3.Stitching
4.Printing,Labling
6.Removing stains
7.Ironong

Process flow of bpel process deployment in production server

Hi,
Can anyone please explain me the process flow of bpel process deployment in prodcution server . I mean the procedure that we follow for deployment in productions server , what are the steps that we follow , approval from any teams? .....
Thanks,
Beginner.

A quick answer is:
1. make sure you defined the Application/Integration Server in your developer (user/pass you have - if not oc4jadmin then one the IT gave you).
2. Deploy your project to that server.
3. Choose the correct domain in the Console when deploying.
Is this what you wanted to know???

A/R process flow with notice of readiness for shipment

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the following A/R process flow:
- sales order
- xx% A/R down payment invoice
- notice of readiness for shipment
- incoming payment
- delivery
- A/R invoice (xx% down payment to be deducted here)
What's the best way to implement it?
Thanks
Fabio

Hi,
no, it's something different. It is because we want to be paid before shipping anything.
In more detail:
- we request a certain amount of down payment after the order and before starting production
- we request final payment before we deliver goods
Thanks
Fabio

Can I change a process flow at run time??

Hello everybody,
I work in Oracle BPMS 11.1.1.5. I need to change a process flow at run time due to changes in the business logic, I mean add, delete and modify tasks, navigation flow, etc. I know business rules can be modified using Oracle BPM Composer, but I couldn't find the way to modify the process flow. I have seen other BPMS, like BizAgi, for ex. that can do that. Do Oracle BPMS have that functionality? Please I need it a lot!!!!
Regards and thanks in advance,
isabelbernely

Hi
As JonPetter mentioned, you can get this and preferably get only from Support. I hope you have some license if you going to prod with this. Use that and if possible talk to your sales guy and create a support account. Then request the feature pack. The thing is, if we put it in some public shared location, it is the violation of using the oracle product. Unless someone takes risks they may upload but still its not advisable.
Sorry

Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)

I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
From Here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.

Hi,
Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

OWB Process Flow - How is the best version control tool ??

HI all,
I just start work with OWB and I have a question to know how is the best way to do something.
Imagine the scenario below:
If I have 2 or more requests for example:
Request 1: Create a Dimension City.
Request 2: Create a Dimension Products.
I Have ONE process flow and i need put my changes inside. This is my problem.
In my scenario I don't know what Request goes to Prod First.
If I put the Request 1 and Request 2 in my PROCESS FLOW, maybe I need change is someone decide change MY REQUEST PRIORITY.
There is something in OWB to "control the version or changes" ?? For a mapping I export the MDL and commit on SVN, but I dont know haw can i do with the process flow.
Something to agree multiples peoples work in different mappings and a SAME PROCESS FLOW ??
What is best way to work with process flow and version control.
What are the best practices when it comes to version control?
Thanks.

Amit,
Are you really doing this in 10.1.3.x and not 11g?
At any rate, I don't see how #2 and #3 relate whatsoever to your choice of a version control system. OK, maybe in #2 if there is some "maintenance" activity to be done against the version control server. Subversion is the open source alternative that you listed there and is pretty commonly used. If your company is already using one of the mentioned tools, why change? About the only thing I'd mention is to advise you NOT to use CVS for well documented reasons (JDev does support it) - if you would have picked CVS otherwise, choose Subversion. As far as question #1 - I've only used Subversion (well, I did use CVS for a while) with JDeveloper, so I can say it was "effective enough for me." In 10.1.3.x, I also used the external svn tools for doing lots of things like merging and so forth; in 11g, the support is much much better.
Best,
John

OWB Process Flow Execution in Workflow

Hi!
I hope somebody can help me with this one... I have a process flow designed to load data from a flat file to a db staging table then do some transformation on the data and load the data to the data warehouse. I am using OWB 9.2.0.2.8, 9i DB (9.2.0.5) and OWF 2.6.2. I have successfully validated and deployed the process flow but during execution, the process failed on the mapping that loads data from the flat file to the staging table. The message log of the deployment manager reports: /u01/oracle/product/owb/temp/STAGING_MAP.ctl (No such file or directory). Do I have to set the source location for the flat file again? You see we have already executed this mapping alone and it worked fine, using the source location in the server as defined in the mapping, which is /u01/files/.
Thank you.
Shiela

hi,
well,jus check whether u created locations and connecter and check u deployed every thing and try once again.

How to use substitution variables in sqlplus activity of process flow

I have a process flow that does nothing more than create a couple of packages that I cannot successfully deploy from OWB. A workaround, not something that I want to do, but currently there is not much time to adjust the packages so they can be deployed from OWB.
I can successfully create the packages from files that are present in a directory on the server. But the location (directory) is not the same in all cases (OTAP). So I thought to use an input parameter to the process flow (named TELLINGEN) and use that in the sqlplus activity.
I have created the parameter START_PATH with a default value.
I have added an sqlplus activity and placed the following into the PARAMETER_LIST variable of the activity:
?${Target.ConnectString}?@${TELLINGEN.START_PATH}/npl_dbug.pkg?
When I run the process flow I see the following in the output:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Tue Mar 18 18:10:14 2008
Copyright (c) 1982, 2006, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
SP2-0310: unable to open file "${TELLINGEN.START_PATH}/npl_dbug.pkg"
SQL> SQL> Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release
10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
It obviously connects to sqlplus but then cannot find the file. Presumably because the variable has not been substituted.
How can I persuade the activity to substitute the variable?
Kind regards,
Eric.

Have been reading around a bit and found the (a) solution:
I placed the following in PARAMETERLIST:
?${Target.ConnectString}?@${Working.RootPath}/base64.sql?
And it turns out ${Working.RootPath} is pointing to the location you can provide under the configure for the sqlplus activity in the process flow. Just as you have to provide the target destination as indicated here: Re: SQLPLUS Activity in Process Flow
From the documentation it was not immediately clear to me where Working.RootPath was pointing to.

Make to Order Scenario Process Flow

Hi Friends -
I am looking for simple Make to Order scenario with BOM Components with Routing.
The process flow I want to execute -
1. Create a Sales Order for a Finished Product (Product should have a BOM for Production)
2. Do the product Materials Planning for the Sales Order through MD50
3. Get all the dependent material requirements (both for products as Planned Order and also for BOM Components - all the BOM components should also be planned)
4. Convert Planned Order for Product to Production Order
5. Convert Planned Orders for BOM components to Purchase Requisition
6. Confirm Production Order
Pls correct me if I my process flow is wrong or requires modification.
I will appreciate if you can validate the above process flow and guide me to execute the same in the system.
Pls help me on configuring the system and setting up the materials and related master data for the same.
Thanks in advance
Purnendu

Dear GSL - Pls check the following details
1. I have created a Material Master data for Finished Product (FERT).
2. I have assigned Item Category Group - 0004, and General Item Category group as 0004 ( Make to Order / Assembly).
3. I have assigned MRP Type PD in MRP 1 View and Strategy Group 20 (Make to Order Production) in MRP 3 View.
4. Now created a Universal (Type 3) BOM for the product with one material component.
5. Now also created a Routing for the Material with two operations having PP01 a control key.
6 When I try to create a Sales Order for the finished material it is giving message
Configuration not possible for material 747 : Reason 3 --> Help
Message no. V1360
Diagnosis
This may have been caused by one of the following:
1. The configuration profile for the material allows or requires the bill of materials to be exploded during order processing. However, a plant has not been specified in the item.
2. The configuration profile of the material allows or requires the bill of materials to be exploded during order processing, but the order quantity in the item must be greater than 0.
3. A configuration profile has not been maintained
or
A configuration is not permitted for the material
or
4. The configuration profile of the material allows or requires the bill ofmaterials to be exploded during order processing. However, the system could not determine a date because important data is missing from the item (see incompletion log).
This message is also coming in the Incompletion log f the sales order.
I have not checked the Configurable Indicator for the material in the Basic Data 2 view of the materials master, but still the message related to Configuration is coming.
Pls help e on this.
Thanks and warm regards

Billing in SAP supports
     Creating invoices for products and services
     Creating credit and debit memo
     Cancel previously posted billing documents
     Automatically transferring billing documents to accounting
When a billing document is created for a sales order we
     Credit the sales revenue account
     Debit the customer receivables account
Sales Document
A sales document is grouped into three structures
     Header
     Item
     Schedule Line
Outbound delivery

a)     Customer material info. record of the sold-to party
b)     Customer master record of the ship-to-party
c)     Material master record of the material
Shipping point determination
The following rule is used in determining shipping point in a sales order   :
Plant + Shipping condition (Sold-to-Party) + Loading group                  Shipping point
                                                      Maintained in Material master Gen: Plant data
Route determination
Route determined using the following rule in Sales and Distribution (SAP)
Departure Zone of Shipping Point
+
Shipping condition (Sold-to-Party)
+
Transportation Group (Material master)
+
Transportation Zone (Ship-to-Party)
Route

As name denotes delivery scheduling is scheduling delivery for an order and it carries the following important dates:
     Material availability date
     Transportation planning date
     Loading date
     Goods Issue date
     Delivery date
Availability Check in SAP:
     Availability check is carried out at item level for a plant
     Availability check is done on the material availability date
     If material availability date is in the past the forward scheduling is done, if not backward scheduling is done.
Item category determination in the order:
Item category denotes the category to which the item belongs and the following rule is used for determination of item category. Item category controls the way in which item behaves in a sales document.
Sales document type
+
Item category group (Material master)
+
Item usage
+
Item category of higher level item
Item category of the item
Item category in a sales document mainly controls the following

     Partner determination procedure
     Structure scope (relevant for bill of material explosion)
     Value contract material

Schedule line category mainly controls:
     Delivery Block
     Movement type
     Item relevant for delivery
     Req/Assembly

To control copying procedure we have
     Data transfer routines
     Copying requirements
     Switches
Pricing Procedure determination:
Pricing is an important component in SAP-SD. Once an order is entered taking into consideration some major factors, the pricing procedure for the particular order is determined.
The major factors taken into consideration for pricing procedure determination is:
Sales area
+
Customer Pricing procedure(Customer Master Sales area data)
+
Document Pricing Procedure(Sales Document Type)
Pricing Procedure
What are the components of pricing procedure?
How is that a person should work on Pricing Procedure?
To start with first
Define a Condition table:
What is a condition table?
A table where the key fields are data combinations for which messages are triggered (and offered for processing).
For each data combination, there is a condition record in the table. The data part contains the actual message.
As mentioned above a condition table is a table which carries key fields for picking up the prices.
Define Access Sequences
The access sequence is a search strategy which the SAP System uses to search for condition records valid for a condition type.
For example, you can define for a price that the SAP System first searches for a customer-specific price and then for a price list price.
Recommendation
     If you define your own access sequences, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves this letter for the standard system.
     Do not change access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new access sequences by copying a similar access sequence and changing it according to your needs. Specify an alphanumeric key which may have up to 4 digits and a textual description.
3. Maintain the accesses for the access sequence by specifying the condition tables in the desired sequence. With the sequence, you define the priority of the accesses. You can display combinations of key fields using possible entries.
4. Generating the accesses is no longer necessary as of 3.0, as this is carried out automatically. You can generate the accesses manually, if required, by choosing "Utilities".
Example
In pricing, you use a customer-material discount. The condition records you create are based on customer data from the document header and material data from each document item. The discount is only valid for 2% of your customers, however. Normally, this would mean that the system would needlessly search through every available item for 98% of your customers. In this case, pre step would improve system performance.
Define Condition Type
A characteristic of a condition. For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Price elements are represented in the SAP system by condition types. Price elements can be, for example, prices, surcharges, discounts, taxes or, freight, and are stored in the system in condition records.
You can, for example, define whether a discount is calculated as a percentage or a fixed amount using the condition type.
You specify an access sequence in every condition type. Thus, you define which fields the SAP system checks when searching for a valid condition record.
Note
     The pricing procedure groups all condition types together which the SAP system is to automatically take into account during pricing for a business transaction (see the section "Define and assign pricing procedures").
Remember that you can only specify manually in a document those condition types which are contained in the pricing procedure.
     You can change the outcome of pricing in the sales document manually. You can limit options for changing a condition type in this IMG step.
Recommendation
     If you define your own condition types, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves these letters for that purpose in the standard system.
     Do not change the condition types which are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the condition types contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new condition types by copying a similar conditions type and changing it according to your requirements. One reason for creating a new condition type is you may require a calculation rule for a discount which is not available in the standard system.
Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 4 digits, and a textual description.
Specify an access sequence for the condition types. You do not need to specify an access sequence for header conditions.
3. Maintain the detail screen of the condition type.
You can also assign a reference condition type if the condition types you are working with are similar. Then you will only have to maintain condition records for the reference condition type.
In addition, you can define the upper and lower limits for the value of a condition at condition type level. This way, you limit the amounts or the scale values in the corresponding condition records.
Define Pricing Procedures
The pricing procedure defines the conditions permitted for a document and the sequence in which the system takes these conditions into account during pricing.
A standard pricing procedure is defined in the standard SAP system. It contains conditions most commonly used. These include material prices, discounts, and surcharges, such as freight, or tax.
SAP Recommendation
     Define your own pricing procedures which contain only those condition types which you use. Otherwise, the system makes un neccessary accesses to conditions.
     Do not change the pricing procedures contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Create new pricing procedures by copying a similar pricing procedure.
o     Specify a key with up to 6 characters and a description.
o     For a procedure, specify the condition types in the sequence of their usage.
Maintain the lines of the pricing procedure
2. Afterwards define the customer determination procedures for determining the procedure.
3. Define the document pricing procedures for determining the procedure.
4. Assign the procedure to the sales document types and billing types.
5. To determine the procedure, define the allowed combinations of:
o     Sales area
o     Customer pricing procedure
o     Document pricing procedure
o     Pricing procedure
Shipping:
The basis for shipping is delivery.
Delivery document controls the following in deliveries
     Number range
     Item no increment

Billing is the last phase in the SD process .Billing is the phase where the major integration of SD and FI Module happens.
Billing document has got the following structure:
     Header
     Item
Billing documents mainly control:
     No. range
     Posting block (Controls posting to accounting)
