Purchase Flow to FI in SAP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I google regarding the Purchase and Sales Flow in SAP but didnt saw any document with description. Please suggest if I am going to the right direction in Purchase and Sales Flow step as follow :-
Purchase Flow:
1) Purchase requisition raised
2) Purchase Order with the detail of component and unit price
3) Receive those product at your Good IN i.e IR/GR
4) Post Invoice entry in FB60
5) Clearing the Invoice in F-54 or Automatic Payment run fb110
Sales Flow:
1) Received Sales Order for component and sold unit price
2) Dispatch the product
3) Invoice the customer fb70
4) Clearing of invoice : f-39
5)Post incoming payment :- f-28
Please suggest if the flow is correct. I am not sure where the SD guy do the entry
Thanks for Help

Is there any Data Mapping document Between S&OP ( model that uses supply planning operator ) and SAP ECC that I will help the client in Data Mapping activity.

Hello All,
Is there any Data Mapping document Between S&OP ( model that uses supply planning operator ) and SAP ECC that I will help in Data Mapping activity.
Thanks,

There are standard templates in HCI data sources.
e.g. 1) Customer Master data template is SOP_MD_CustomerMaster for extracting master data from SAP ECC and load it to S&OP
KNVP is the table for customer in ECC from that you can select the fields as required
KUNNR for customer Number
ADRNR for Address

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System

Hi,
I downloaded Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System Using MII 12.0
senario from sdn. I'm trying to do that senario in MII 12.05. But I have problem with section 6 in page 7 (you can supply senario from sdn)
"6- Under the loop of Repeater, use action u2018Rowu2019 to append just the string part of the WA which will display only values for field u2018Batchu2019"
I did not find WA elemen in Output element of Repeater_0
How can I create WA element?
Thanks.

Cemil,
Set up a SAP JCo Interface action block. Use the RFC name RFC_READ_TABLE.
In the link editor map the table to "MARA", set RowCount to something small (20 is good sample size) and create an xml transaction property named FIELDS and copy the following into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><FIELDS>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MATNR</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MTART</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>BSTME</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>XCHPF</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>DATAB</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
    </FIELDS>
Then link the Transaction.FIELDS to SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/FIELDS}. You may run into problems with two other fields and optionally they can be removed (set link type to remove xml). I usually remove them initially for testing. The two fields are:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/NO_DATA}
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/DELIMITER} (or you can set this to something like a semicolon,";" or tilda,"~". I find it easier to caclulate position by length, but that is my own idiosyncrasy.)
Once you get this one working, we can explore how to do filtering on the dataset. Your output should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RFC_READ_TABLE>
<INPUT>
    <DELIMITER />
    <NO_DATA />
    <QUERY_TABLE>MARA</QUERY_TABLE>
    <ROWCOUNT>20</ROWCOUNT>

Add a repeater sourced on:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Response{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/DATA/item}
Link your repeater output to a tracer with this:
Repeater_0.Output{/item/WA}
What you will see in each tracer message is a single line of data with all the fields contents concatenated together. You can look up what each field in the string represents by the length of the field as returned in the Response segment of the RFC_READ_TABLE rfc. Then you can parse out the data you are interested in.
Give this a try and let me know how you succeeded.
By the way, I could not find the scenario you referred to. Can you post a link?

Mike

SAP ECC 6.0 - Using BAPIs for C# to extract data out

I have had a client recommend a strategy of extracting data usin C# (Visual Studio 2005) to extract data from SAP ECC using BAPIs.
We do have an existing methodology in place using flat files to extract data to non SAP systems
We have purchase XI which we intend to implement next year.
I basically wanted to keep things tidy and continue with the flat file interface strategy just to keep things simple going forward to XI.
THen there is also the security piece, the developer has had to slowly build a profile / roles that alows him to come in thru visual studio to access these BAPIs
I am looking for anyone who has had experience with this and what your experiences are. As well, what are the SAP best practicies concerning this strategy
Thank YOU ALL who will reply

I think that SAP's strategy toward exposing BAPI is leaning toward leveraging their AS-JAVA stack. With the AS-JAVA Enterprise Services and standard delivered web content, SAP is already exposing many existing BAPI/Business Functionality outside of the ABAP world. However, that's not saying that traditional flat files have no place in the future. Matter of fact, I don't see flat/delimited files going away any time soon.
It all really comes down to what you are doing, you may even end up with a landscape that's a mix of files/RFCs. Here inhouse, we leverage file based transfers for large data sets such as SAP BI OHS extracts, and daily R/3 FI extracts. Why file? because it's simple, easy to control, and you can see the data being transferred. A file can be "hold in my hands" if you will, at best there's just a few characters in-flight.
As for RFCs, any type of RFCs in fact (Anything from sap .net connector to AS-JAVA ESOA Based ES), are basically designed for transactional data. Here, you are looking at things that are high in transactional count but small in individual size. Your client's call using C#, it all really depends on how you are doing it. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make sure you are using a proven, standarized, and SAP supported way, PERIOD. NEVER EVER go into production with a "hack".
For the high-transactional-count-small-individual transactions, we leverage BizTalk Server (BTS) here. I'll be frank, we are not using BTS because we wrote it. We are using BTS because it just works better for us, in our environment. BTS now support SAP 2.0 connector (registered program ID) and SAP 3.0 (WCF based, direct SAP RFC call, supported by Microsoft AND SAP). We are leveraging these adapters and BTS (as distribution and transformation) in our environment more and more.
So, long story short: Determine the transaction type, multiple solutions is ok, make sure the solution is supported!

What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

Hi All,
Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
From Shop floor:
shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

Praveen Reddy

Sql Server configuration requirements for SAP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am using Sql server 2005 Enterprise as data store for Sap ecc 6.0.There are certain configuration requirements to be done while installing it so that sapinst.exe (sap installer) is able to use it to create its own DB's.
For eg it requires a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 whereas the default that gets installed is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
Like this there are other requirements which I am not aware of.Most of the docs available on the Internet are talking of ecc 6.0 with Oracle 10.2G which is the most common combination.I am having docs for this combination.
I am installing ecc for the first time.
*I am unable to download docs from sap. marketplace as it requires a login given to certified users or sap purchasers.I am neither.*
Can anyone help me with this.If anyone has ECC 6.0 installation guide with sql server it will be serve my purpose.
Thanks for your efforts.

"Excuse me?
What he is doing is illegal , you know what that means, right? If you don't believe me, read the license that comes on the first installation DVD.
Actually, I even think it's kind of barefaced to ask in the forum of the software vendor for help! I mean, it's like asking in a bank forum how to rob and fraud the bank! You - and many others - may think that it's right and ok to do that. I tell you: it is not. Not for "home use", not for personal use, not at all.
You can use the software available here in the SDN to lean and study, that's why it's there.
If you deal at all with copied software, then just be smart enough to make other people not notice. He can be happy if he's not prosecuted (which would legally be possible)."
Do u understand what is legal or illegal? Have u read the license in full?
The license does not put any limit on the number of users.So if I am using it means that one more user has been added by the license holder.
Therefore there is nothing illegal about it.
It would have unethical (not illegal) if the software is being used for a business purpose other than for which it has been purchased.
Since it being used for training purpose the above does not hold good.
In fact it is SAP who is benefited in the long run bec' after a person learns it technology because he is going to implement it somewhere, for which the concerned user will have to purchase a license.Therefore I am helping SAP to increase its business.
But there are some stupid people who don't understand these things but are ready to shout at the top of their voice thinking themselves to be intelligent.

DS 3.2 u201CDirect Downloadu201D from SAP ECC Dump RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED - Start 'sapgui' failed
We are running DS 3.2.1 with a data source connected to ECC 6.0 using u201CDirect Downloadu201D.
DS 3.2 Designer on Windows, DS Job server on Unix, SAP ECC running on Unix (different Unix box than DS).
We get a dump in the SAP ECC source system, RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED Start 'sapgui' failed.

Has anyone seen this issue?
Shouldnu2019t it use WS_DOWNLOAD vs. GUI_DOWNLOAD?

Thanks for the information on the Direct Download.
I will check test by running the generated ABAP in the SAP ECC system to see why we get the GUI ERROR.
I now understand that Direct Download is for testing & small amounts of data & "Old" functionality.
We were doing a test on a table with only 87 records.
We wanted to test that we could connect from DS to the SAP ECC system & that the DS Data Flow worked.
Also, our SAP ECC & our Data Services are on different Unix servers that do NOT have a common directory.
So if we used Shared Directory, the file would be deposited on the SAP Server, but the DS server would not be able to see it to pick it up. So we may have to look at FTP option.
Has anyone used DS to extract from an SAP ECC on a Unix server to Data Services on a DIFFERENT Unix server with no common directory?
We would really prefere NOT to have to create a temporary file, but would rather it worked just like the BW extracts from SAP ECC, it just sends the records over via TRFC's, not temp file, or if it woudl work the same way as when DS pulls from one oracle DB on a Unix server to another oracle DB on a Different Unix server, I don't think that creates temporary files.
Thanks Again for your help

SAP MDM == PI== SAP ECC, IDOC posting

Hi,
We are integrating SAP ECC 6.0 with SAp MDM 7.1 SP04 using PI 7.1 as a interface. Scenario is SAP MDM ==>PI==> SAp ECC. I would be creating record in ECC and will be posted in SAp ECC through PI. We will be creating Basic Data (MARA), Plant level data (MARC), Sales Level data (MVKE), and Valuation level Data (MBEW) in MDM. IDOC used is MATMAS05.
Plant level data (MARC) will activate various views in Material master like Purchasing, Sales plant general data, MRP views and accounting views...right
I donu2019t want to activate MRP view but need plant level data i.e. Plant and profit center to populate in MARC table. Means same Material Type but some Materials donu2019t have MRP view activated and some may have alongwith other plant related views.
I tried creating record without passing MRP related fields but still IDOC failed saying MRP type is mandatory. (Which means it is activating MRP view)
Do we have separate IDOC for MDM integration?? Do I need to enhance IDOC??
Warm regards,
Rc
NOTE - This is possible while manual creation as will as through BAPI.

Hi,
Have you checked MDM71_Material_Content.pdf page no 20.
3.3.2 Business Scenario: MDM710_Outbound.
You also need MDM PI content to install and run this Scenario..
Hope it helps if you go through MDM71_Material_Content.pdf
As you said, I tried creating record without passing MRP related fields but still IDOC failed saying MRP type is mandatory
Try passing any constant through PI Message Mapping to inbound IDOC (Receiving System, ECC)
Thanks and Regards,

Data load into SAP ECC from Non SAP system

Hi Experts,
I am very new to BODS and I have want to load historical data from non SAP source system into SAP R/3 tables like VBAK,VBAP using BODS, Can you please provide steps/documents or guidelines on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Monil

Hi
In order to load into SAP you have the following options
1. Use IDocs. There are several standard IDocs in ECC for specific objects (MATMAS for materials, DEBMAS for customers, etc., ) You can generate and send IDocs as messages to the SAP Target using BODS.
2. Use LSMW programs to load into SAP Target. These programs will require input files generated in specific layouts generated using BODS.
3. Direct Input - The direct input method is to write ABAP programs targetting on specific tables. This approach is very complex and hence a lot of thought process needs to be applied.
The OSS Notes supplied in previous messages are all excellent guidance to steer you in the right direction on the choice of load, etc.,
However, the data load into SAP needs to be object specific. So targetting merely the sales tables will not help as the sales document data held in VBAK and VBAP tables you mentioned are related to Articles. These tables will hold sales document data for already created articles. So if you want to specifically target these tables, then you may need to prepare an LSMW program for the purpose.
To answer your question on whether it is possible to load objects like Materials, customers, vendors etc using BODS, it is yes you can.
Below is a standard list of IDocs that you can use for this purpose to load into SAP ECC system from a non SAP system.
Customer Master - DEBMAS
Article Master - ARTMAS
Material Master - MATMAS
Vendor Master - CREMAS
Purchase Info Records (PIR) - INFREC
The list is endless.........
In order to achieve this, you will need to get the functional design consultants to provide ETL mapping for the legacy data to IDoc target schema and fields (better to ahve sa tech table names and fields too). You should then prepare the data after putting it through the standard check table validations for each object along with any business specific conversion rules and validations applied. Having prepared this data, you can either generate flat file output for load into SAP using LSMW programs or generate IDoc messages to the target SAPsystem.
If you are going to post IDocs directly into SAP target using BODS, you will need to create a partner profile for BODS to send IDocs and define the IDocs you need as inbound IDocs. There are few more setings like RFC connectivity, authorizations etc, in order for BODS to successfully send IDocs into the SAP Target.
Do let me know if you need more info on any specific queries or issues you may encounter.
kind regards

SAP ECC account in more than 1 sales org replication in SAP C4C

Hi,
What would be the best way to replicate SAP ECC accounts in more than 1 sales orgs (different account owners & so) to SAP C4C.. I don't think C4C allows assigning accounts to more than 1 sales orgs due to only one owner.
With Regards,
Rahul Mukherjee

Hi Rahul
I think you can do ID mapping to more than one sales organization, but you can't have more than 1 owner in C4C. Try doing ID mapping to the correct sales orgs and then send the account - just try with one and you'll have to see what other code list mapping errors you get. The process flow is what you'll need to think about most - if you reallly need to extend C4C or if the process in C4C will be OK with one owner for the business process that needs to happen in the cloud. Maybe map out that first - who is doing what in the cloud, what needs to be replicated?

SAP ECC 6.0 license cost

Hi All,
We want to purchase SAP ECC 6.0 .
can anybody give me idea what is the cost of ECC 6.0 license (generally) so that we can make a rough budget of that.
Thanks
sandeep sharma

If i say that for one user
Very tough question to clarify and calculate. It depends on country, number of licenses etc.
Check with local SAP (Or just you can raise OSS message, they will contact you).
*Mentioned tough question because for one user- I don't think ERP like SAP is required

Help needed applying OSS note 981295 in SAP ECC 5.0 with SAP Kernel 640_REL

Hi Experts,
Our functional team is trying to implement a kind of workflow through a notification via SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP) after the release of a Purchase Order (Transaction code ME29), this is every time when a purchase order is released through transaction code ME29, a notification will be sent to the SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP). So according to this they told me to implement OSS note 981295, but using transaction SNOTE I get the message that this note can't be implemented in my system this because my SAP Kernel version is the release 6.40 and the needed SAP Kernel for this note is from version 7.00 to version 7.10. So what do you recommend please in this case in order to implement the required functionality on our SAP ECC 5.0 System?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Note clearly states
This note is only relevant if the following Support Package is installed in the system:
NW04s: Support Package SAPKB70008
Meaning is not relevat to your case. You need to keep looking... if you open an OSS message people from SAP might put you in the right direction.

SAP ECC 6.0 -- Business Connector / Error:Input values do not contain IDOC

Hello,
We have a scenario R/3 4.6C ORDRSP to the SAP business connector which is running fine. When I send the first IDoc the routing roule is created automatically and it can be adapted.
Now we switched to the ECC 6.0 system but I get the following error message:
"Input values do not contain IDOC" and no routing roule is created either. The status of the IDoc is 03.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Could it have anything to do with ECC 6.0?
Thank you for your support.

Hi,
I hope you must have added new SAP ECC system under SAP tab on SAP BC page.
To check exact error information:
FIrst open SAP BC page in browser (http://localhoet:port)
Go to transaction tab, and there under TID box, enter transaction id corresponding to SM58. And check what it says.
About routing rule:
BC automatically creates routing rule, if not you can edit and direct them to correct process flow, or you can create new routing rule, as BC need routing rule to move IDOC ahead.
Please let us know further about error information, so that we can help you further.

Edge 3.1 Data Services connection to SAP ECC 5.0 on AIX server

I've got a client who is trying to create a Data Services extract from an SAP ECC 5.0 system on an AIX server. The Data Services is installed on a Windows box and is the Edge 3.1 version. He is able to connect to the SAP datastore, is able to import the metadata for a table and browse the data, but the data transport in the R/3 Data Flow fails due to a permissions problem on the file generated in the working directory on the SAP server (as indicated by the Data Services error message).
We have confirmed that the file can be opened and modified by the same user that the Data Integration service is running under. I have also duplicated his environment and settings in a sandbox virtual machine, except that our SAP ECC 6.0 system is running on MS Windows Server 2003, and the transfer works fine in that environment.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Is there a permissions setting we're missing?

Simply means that in the case you have more than one instance you need to shutdown down the instance you are working on and all the other ones too.
