Purchasing- Set up Employee as Buyer

I know how to set up an Employee as a Buyer through the application...but can someone tell me how to do this via the backend? I have a conversion to do and want to set up employees as buyers. Is there an API or something?

OK...that seems easy enough. If I create the person and have the person_id, I can just add that person to the PO_Agents table. Looks good...
except there is a column in that table I do not understand. Location_id? What is that?

To Access AME for iProcurement, does the user needs to be set up as a buyer ?

Hello,
We are on Oracle R12.1.3.
We are switching on the Approval Management Engine (AME) for iProcurement and Purchasing.
we are about to assign the AME responsibilities “Approvals Management Administrator” and “Approvals Management Business Analyst” to a user , USER123
Does USER123 need to be set up as a buyer to create AME rules ?
Regards,
Natalia

AME rules for iProcurement are defined for requester. So to test the AME rule itself, you need not be a buyer.
Besides, configuration responsibility can be granted to any employee (From IT department) who may not be a buyer in the role.
So the answer is "Not required"

Can we lock set of employees at a time?

Hi everyone,
I need to maintain Infotype records for a set of Employees. Function module 'HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE' locks only a single employee at at time. I can pass pernrs through loop...endloop, but if there are multiple records of a single employee, lock and unlock happens for every loop.
Is there any FM to lock multiple employees?
Thanks in advance,
cs

Hi cs,
Please use FM HR_ENQUEUE_OBJECT_LIST with object type P.

How to add a new custom field to one set of employees within one country?

Hi,
I am thinking of a scenario where a new custom field is dispayed in PA30 for IT0006
only for one set of employees in US (such as for a employee group or employee sub group).
Other employees should not have this custom field.
All employees in this scenario is for US country only.
Is this possible? Do we need ABAP for this or only IMG will do?
Any details on how to implement this etc..
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for everyone for the responses.
I really liked the decoupling infotype solution.
However, since some work has been done in the old way, I will try to describe the problem in detail.
Our ABAPer already created a new screen 0200 as a sub-screen in ZP000600 module (I am assuming it is a module pool) using PM01 and assigned to 2010 screen; an alternate screen specified in IMG for country 10 as key (instead of standard screen 2000 for IT0006).
This new screen 0200 is assigned to 2010 in PM01 transaction.
These steps displays the 0200 sub-screen with added fields to all the US employees hiring in the respective personal action.
I want to create a new scenario to suppress these additional fields for some US employees (say company code BKUS)
I placed a new entry in T588M for module pool as ZP000600 , key is 10, alternate screen as 0200 and hide all the fields
But, these additional fields are still displayed always for US employees for whom I want to hide.
Did I miss any thing?
I do not want to hard code in ABAP whom to display and who not to.
Is there a IMG way to do this so that I can change the criteria later as we go.
Thanks

Set sales employee as inactive

Hello,
in SAP BO you can add sales employee, but can not be erased. Number of buyers is growing - when you create a document (invoice, ...) list of sales employees becomes confusing. We would welcome the possibility of setting sales employee as INACTIVE. The documents would then be offered only to active sales employees.
Many thank.
Alexandra Herichová

Hi,
thank you very much for your comment. I would like to inform you we are currently working on de-activation of Sales Employee (S.E.) in B1, where option to define active / inactive S.E. will be available. Consequently inactive S.E. will be by default not visible in all relevant lists, however user will have an option to report all data for all existing S.E. due to backward compatibility.
Other areas are planned to be covered in a future as well. Please consider this as a potential Patch candidate and not as an SAP commitment.
In case of any questions, feel free to contact me.
Best Regards,
Martin Pavlinsky

Purchasing set up table

hello,
i am customizing the lo cockpit for purchasing in the following datasources:
2lis_02_hdr
2lis_02_itm
2lis_02_scl
the problem lies when i am filling the set up table using oli3bw. i get the following message:
"DataSource 2LIS_02_HDR contains data still to be transferred"
this activity was performed 3 days back & that point of time i had given the next day as the termination date.
can anyone help me out on this issue?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

"DataSource 2LIS_02_HDR contains data still to be transferred"
this means that there is data in the update queue or delta queue for this extractor. if your in production follow the exact guidelines that you can find on this forum. you have to do this in the weekend. stop the v3 update job (run it one last time manually), extract your delta twice and transport the modifications.
if you don't care too much about your data cause you have to reinit anyway, just kill the delta queue

Purchase orders - confirmation email to buyer

You need to configure Output determination on the Sales order type, so that a Order response output type (like BA00) with email is triggered once the order is saved in the system.
Search on these forums on how an outbound Order response output is configured

Purchasing - Set Up Table in source system - LBWG

Hi all,
Currently we are extracting Purchasing data into BI7, and have a large volume already which has been delta'd across.
We need to apply some notes to the Source System which involve deleting the data out of the set-up table, trnx LBWG.
Can anyone tell me what the impact of this will have on the deltas being run in BI7...and what steps if any I would need to take?
Thanks, Lee

Hi Lee,
Setting up of set up table is one time activity in general scenario.
Once setup table data population is done , load data into BW through initialization option . If this init request gets in to status "Green" , then on you dont need to refer to data in setup table .
As per the wish / space constraint one may keep / delete the setup table data.

Create Employee as Buyer

Hi- I need to create an employee as a buyer in Oracle through a backend interface.
I assumed this would be simple as it only requires adding a entry in the PO_AGENTS table, correct?
If this is the case, I was looking for an API and found none. So I used the PO_AGENTS_PKG.Insert_Row() procedure. But I keep getting a error.
00942. 00000 - "table or view does not exist"
Has anyone done this? Why do I have an error?
Am I going about this the correct way?
Thanks

Hi,
PO_AGENTS_PKG is not a public API, so I believe you cannot use it.

Sending only a specific set of employees through idocs

Hi,
I' am using idocs to send data between two SAP systems.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/6c/b9b77f806311d2b45a006094b9c9b4/frameset.htm
The steps I followed can found from the above link.
In this scenario, I want to send the details of employees
belonging to a particular personnel area.
How I can achieve this?
Is there any way through customisation.
Thanks in advance.

Your best bet may be to purposely reset your TC to factory defaults and then set it up again.
One thing to try from within your home LAN to see if DNS or connectivity is a problem is to simply open a terminal and "ping" the IP address of your webserver. If you can ping the webserver by IP then you are able to reach it on the Internet. Then try to ping the webserver by fully qualified server and domain name (i.e. www.example.com). If ping resolves the name to the IP of your web server then you are fine with DNS as well. If either of those basic tests fail to resolve the server and receive a reply, then you indeed have some other issue with your TC or internal network.

Setting Sales Employee Commission

Hello All -
Can we adjust commission for a sales employee for a specific Business Partner? For example, for some Business Partner's that the sales employee is responsible for they get a 10% commission...for other BP's they get an 8% commission, etc.
Please advise how to do this.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Marcia!
If we have both the Set Commission By Sales Employee and Set Commission By Customer checked then is the default commission the commission by sales employee if we do not set a User Defined Commission?
We do not want to go through and set User Defined Commission for every BP -- just a handful. The rest we would like the detault to be the Sales Employee Commission.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Mike

Is there a price discount for Ipad 2 for federal employees if they make their purchase from Federal employee store?

Hi all,
I am sorry but I seem to not find any where else to ask this question so I have it here. Apple do have the Federal employee store that provides special price for federal employee but when I go there I do not see any discount price for ipad 2. Am I missing anything? Thanks.

The computers are discounted, but the mobile devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone) are not discounted (never have been to my memory). You guy online just as always. When using the education store, I've never had to prove my affiliation, but I don't know about the government store.
You can also get the same discount in a birck-n-mortar Apple Store, you just have to ask for it.

HT1904 How do I set up my Ipad to stop my seven year old grandson from buying ad ons for "Minecraft"? I have set it so a password is needed to purchase any item but "Minecraft" still nibbles $1.50 here and another 1.35 there every time he uses my IPAD.

How do I stop my seven year old grandson from being able to purchase add ons for "minecraft"
We thought we had set all the right stops to have passwods for all purchases but they do not seem to work. Every time he comes over a plays games I end up with a bill for bits and pieces he seems to buy whilst playing the game.
He swears he does not buy anything and he has been threatened with a ban if he does. Yet every time he plays "minecraft" I end up with an invoice for some extra that has been bought whilst he is playing.
As I said we have tried all of the Apple security ideas but the invoice keep comeing.
Please help.

Have you got Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases set 'off' - that should stop all in-app purchases. And what have you got 'Require Password' set to on the Restrictions screen (I can't remember what version of iOS that setting came in with, so you may not have it) ?
