When changing or deleting one or more lines of the internal table
"\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS" or when inserting in the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS", 0 was used as
the line index. An index less than or equal to zero is not
allowed.
The error can occur when using the following options:
1. "INDEX idx" for specifying the line number in the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS"
     where you want to change, insert or delete.
2. "FROM idx" for specifying the start index when deleting a line
     area from or inserting a line area into the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS".
3. "TO idx" for specifying the end index when deleting a line
     area from or inserting a line area into the table
   "\PROGRAM=ZRQEEAL10\DATA=SELECT_FIELDS".
At the time of the termination, the table contained 2 lines.
This is the error

Hardware Requirement for APPS 11I and R12

Hello experts,
i want to purchase new laptop for practice oracle 11i or r12.
please suggest me what should harware requirement, mainly processor and operating system.
as i want to buy I3 processor with window 7 4 gb ram. 500 gb hard disc.
but my frnd told me that apps do not work with window7.
thanks
yash

I would not recommend installing 11i at this time and your choice would be R12 (12.1.1) -- You may upgrade to 12.1.3 later if you want.
For the hardware specifications, please make sure you have at leave 8 GB RAM.
For the disk space, the total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 85 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 233 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. For the stage area directory (where you will run the installer from), you need at least 47 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area.

Please note that Windows 7 is not certified and you cannot manage to install R12 on this OS. So, your options here would be installation a VM and have a supported OS (Windows/Linux).

Actual minimum requirements for PP CS4 standard DV?

Hello all,
Just upgraded to CS4 from premiere pro 2.0. I do have an older system but I believe it does meet the minimun requirements for DV according to website. I am attempting to do basic editing with standard DV and I cannot even get a simple string of clips together in the timeline without a crash. Currently using windows XP pro SP3, intel P4 3.2 HT, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX1100 graphics card with latest driver. Any ideas on what might be going on?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Eric

Glad that you got things sorted out.
As for the real-world minimums, I'd say that unless one has AVCHD material, that a fast Duo-core CPU with 4GB RAM (32-bit OS) and 3x SATA II HDD's, allocated properly, would be the minimum, and then one could benefit from cleaning up the system to bare bones - cutting unnecessary programs and Processes, per the tips in this ARTICLE.
If one has AVCHD material, I'd go with the fastest Quad-core as the absolute minimum, and a fast i7 as better.
With a 64-bit OS, I'd bump the RAM to 12GB as the minimum, but one could probably get by with less.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Certificate Requirement for Lync 2013 Standard Edition

I have successfully run the setup of lync 2013 standard edition now I am stuck due to certificates required for lync 2013. when I generate a csr. it show the subjected urls for that.
hostname.domain.com
sip.domain.com
diali.domain.com
meet.domain.com
admin.domain.com
lyncdiscover.domain.com
lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
im.domain.com (External URL)
so if I go for 3 party CA then I need 8 certicate only for internal lync. As I also need to connected federated partner and external user so I need Edge for again I need 3 more certificates
web.domain.com
a/v.domain.com
sip.domain.com
now when I go for these certificate it quit costly and I didn't understand why such certifcates required. can anyone help me to fix such requirement.
Or, what are the necessary url to which I buy 3 party CA rest leave as it is.
I also want to deploy Edge with single adopter as we have only one network so can anyone assist me to proceed it further.
Talha Faraz Malik

To save on the cost of your third party certificates, I would deploy an internal certificate authority to sign certificates for your internal front end. For your third party certificate, you would only need the SANs for the edge and for your
reverse proxy and as Edwin said, this can be a single cert with multiple SANs.
For example, for your edge you would need:
sip.domain.com
web.domain.com
You would not need A/V as this role does not require a SAN on your certificate. On the same certificate, which you could also use on your reverse proxy, you'd likely want the following FQDNs.
lyncdiscover.domain.com
im.domain.com (your external web services FQDN)
meet.domain.com
dialin.domain.com
You may also want to consider your internal web services FQDN and include the following so third party mobile devices can connect without needing a certificate installed:
im_internal.domain.com (your internal web services FQDN)
lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
I'm sure that's not entirely clear yet, so feel free to ask more questions or what the purpose of each is.
When you say Edge with a single adapter, you mean a single adapter in a DMZ or internal? You definably want two NICS, both in separate DMZs, but I've managed to get the edge working with a single adapter in a DMZ before. What you don't want is
the edge in your internal network.

CF8 Standard w/Apache Guidelines?

Web Server: Apache 2.2
CPU(s): Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU, 5160 @ 3.00GHz, 2 core
Memory: 4G
Operating System: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586), VERSION = 10, PATCHLEVEL = 2
Application Server: Cold Fusion 8 Standard
Database Server: postgresql CPU(s):Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275,
Memory: 2G
Operating System: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64), VERSION = 9, PATCHLEVEL = 3
Database Version:8.3.5
For 99% percent of the time we have a pretty light load with 1500 hits a day mostly info pieces and some light e-commerce to register for classes. On registration days we get annihilated jumping from 100 connections to 800 right when we open.
We have used jmeter to try and gauge exactly what our one server is capable of handling. And I guess we still really do not know. I have noticed that if we sustain anything over 700 apache connects JRUN will throw errors. This seems to be by a design limit and happens automatically regardless of the pages involved. We have used seefusion to make sure none of our pages are hanging the server. Nothing is excessive though very little bit helps.
Can anyone suggest some general guidelines as to how many apache connections we should allow and what cf8 standard should be able to handle. The registration process is db intensive requiring many calls per page to maintain session etc. We have to do this to maintain compatibility with our internal system.
I believe we are hoping to be able to accomodate 1,000 users at peak. Is this something we can do with cf 8 standard on a single box?

Is it possible to accommodate 1,000 users with ColdFusion 8 standard? Yes it is possible, if the application is developed with this load in mind. Will CF8 magically accommodate 1,000 users no matter what, NO! No application server could.
Unfortunately there is no general answer, because EVERY application and server is different. Why do yo have to have so many database calls? What can you do to unload that to the database with procedures and packages? What can you do to cache content? What can be streamlined? What can be trimmed? What can be reused?
None of those answers are magic or automatic! The system and application have to be looked at systematically and anaylized and tuned.

List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
Understanding iSetup
iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
·     ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
·     Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
·     Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
·     Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
B => A.dbc, B.dbc
C => A.dbc, C.dbc
Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
Sharing iSetup artifacts
·     Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
·     The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
Implications for Extract/Load Management
·     Option 1: Same owner across all instances
·     Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
o     Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
o     Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
·     Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
Security Considerations
·     iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
·     iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
·     It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
Common Incorrect Setups
·     Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
·     DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
·     Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
·     Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
·     iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
·     iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
Installed Languages
iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
Custom Applications
Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
General Foundation Selection Set
Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Profiles
HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
Navigation path to do the above setup:
System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
Case 1:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
Case 2:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
Locations - Geographies
If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
Currencies Types
iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
Associating an Employee details to an User
The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
Accounting Setup
Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
Organization Structure Selection Set
It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.
List of mandatory iSetup Fwk patches*
8352532:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6: Ignore invalid Java identifier or Unicode identifier characters from the extracted data
8424285:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6:Framework Support to validate records from details to master during load
7608712:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.4:ISETUP DOES NOT MIGRATE SYSTEM PROFILE VALUES
List of mandatory API/functional patches*
8441573:R12.FND.A - 1OFF:12.0.4: FNDLOAD DOWNLOAD COMMAND IS INSERTING EXTRA SPACE AFTER A NEWLINE CHARACTER
7413966:R12.PER.A - MIGRATION ISSUES
8445446:R12.GL.A - Consolidated Patch for iSetup Fixes
7502698:R12.GL.A - Not able to Load Accounting Setup API Data to target instance.
Appendix_
How to read logs
·     Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
·     To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
·     Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
·     Functional errors are mainly due to
o     Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
o     Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
o     API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
o     You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
Example – business validation failure
o     VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
o     BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
o     EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
Example – business validation failure
o     Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
o     BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'
o     EXCEPTION = End date cannot be earlier than the start date
Example – missing prerequisite data.
o     VONAME = Operating Unit; KEY = Name = 'CAN OU'
o     Group Name = 'Setup Business Group'
o     ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
Example – technical or fwk error
o     OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
o     Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.
o     Action: Contact your system administrator quoting the procedure and Step 40.
Example – technical or fwk error
o     Number of installed languages on source and target does not match.

How to create F4 for the standard transaction

Hi all ,
How to create F4 for the standard transaction for a particular field .
Bye

Santosh,
You can create F4 values for a field in a standard Transaction .
1. First search for a standard search help meeting your requirement .
2. If you don't find one, create your own custom (z) serach help .
( 1 is preferable )
After that, include that serch help to the standard field in the transaction .
For this u need to go to the screen
( F1->F9-> screen-> Field )
Click on the property of the field and include the search help .
You ll require the access key from the basisi guys as u r changing standard .
Hope it helps,

Planning of Dependent Requirements for BOM Components in Make to Order scen

Hi Friends - I want to execute a full cycle Make to Stock Scenario with Materials planning using MRP.
The scenario will include 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
To execute this I have done the following
1. I have created a Material Master data for Finished Product (FERT).
2. I have assigned Item Category Group - NORM, and General Item Category group as NORM
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. Now created a standard sales order for the product.
7. Executed the MD50 for the Sales Order Item.
Now where do I find the BOM components for this material in the Sales Order?
After executing the planning Run MD50 I am only getting the requirements for Product only. I can't see any dependent requirements for the BOM components.
How do I make sure that the BOM components are also planned while the product is planned?
I have checked the component Stock Requirement List - there are no requirements generated from the Sales Order Product BOM.
Pls help me on this. How to do this so that the raw material components are also planned?
Thanks
Purnendu

Hi Dhaval, Sandeep, Ashok - Thanks a lot for your replies.
I have checked the Planned Order Created through Planning Run.
If I click on the Components Tab I am getting following message
No material components were determined
Message no. 61027
Diagnosis
Until now, no BOM explosion has been carried out or no BOM has been created for this material yet.
Procedure
Either explode the bill of material for this material, or
create the components manually by processing the planned order in change mode.

Transfer of Requirements for Return Orders

Hi,
Please I need help on TOR management with Return Orders in SD.
I've already red all the threads realted to TOR and ATP but I couldn't find a solution. As we know TOR is dependent on the following data: reqts type, reqts class, checking group and schedule line category.
The reqts type and class are determined in the strategy group (material master - MRP3).
Now if I switch on Transfer of Requirements for Returns, at Schedule Line level and Reqts Class level, the result is that I can see requirements related to Returns in the availability check overview of Sales Orders (ATP count) but if I check in the requirements list (i.e. transaction MD04) these requirements related to Returns are not recorded. Why?
And also another point please: requirements generated from Return Orders, into ATP count are considered as normal Sales Orders (negative sign, reducing ATP quantity, when it should be the contrary because a goods receipt is expected).
Can you help me please on these 2 points (perhaps something related with Sales Document Category)?
Thank you very much
Kind Regards
AP

I practically did a sample order / returns order to see your requirements and these are my observations
a)
If you create a standard sales order, then the availability check registers a minus sign with stock required in Rec./reqd qty field.
Once you save the sales order, this is not seen again as the total quantity is reduced by sales order quantity.
It was indicating a minus sign when you created a returns order because you checked the Transfer of requirements and availability check indicators in schedule line category.
It was simulating a requirement as you checked the indicators in schedule line category.
If you create returns order with standard DN (i.e. Transfer of requirements and availability check indicators are not checked), then you would not see any requirement for stock i.e. you don't see any new entry in availability overview screen.
b)
You are not seeing returned quantities in MD04 because of Movement types. This has nothing to do with Transfer of requirements.
Schedule line DN uses movement type 651.
Using movement type 651, you post returns from a customer with returns delivery to blocked stock returns.
The blocked stock returns are are neither valuated nor part of "unrestricted-use" stock.
Hence you are not seeing the returned stock in your available stock.
If you click the magnifying glass on total stock i.e. top line of your stock/requirements list (transaction MD04), you could see the returned quantity in 'Returns field'.
If you want to post returns from a customer with returns delivery directly to the valuated stock, you could use the following movement types in schedule line category.
653 Returns from customer to unrestricted-use stock
655 Returns from customer to stock in quality inspection
With these movement types, you could see returned quantities in stock/requirements list.

Uploading Production Requirements For Finished Goods From External System To Run MRP For Components in SAP.

Hello Production Planning experts,
I'm looking to solve the current business problem:
The company bought a third party software (JD Edwards) to calculate production requirements instead of using SAP's standard Production Planning or a tool like SAP's APO. They run a batch job to query Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from sap and feed/upload it to the third party software so it can calculate the Finished Goods Production Requirements for them. They love the third party software, so replacing it is not an option. Since the third party software is already taking into account Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from SAP, it just outputs a "Finished Goods Production Schedule" by week.
My questions are:
1) What's the best way to upload something like that in SAP in the form of Planned Orders or something of that nature?
After i get that schedule in SAP:
2) Is there any way to calculate components' requirements for that "Finished Goods Production Schedule" alone? The company would like to IGNORE existing stock AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc) for Finished Goods ONLY. The components calculations would work the standard MRP way, taking into account existing stock and AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc)
I started looking into Master Production Schedule (MPS), but I don't know if that's the right approach since I'm not very familiar with it.
Thanks in Advance! I will gladly reward points for helpful/correct answers.

Hello Oscar
I suggest you to upload your production plan in the for of "Planned Independent Requirements" using BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE. Later, MRP will create planned orders to cover the PIRs.
If you don't want to consider the existing stock of the finished product, you should use the planning strategy 11 to create your PIRs. Take a look on the following link for more details about this planning strategy:
Gross Requirements Planning (11) - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
Here you will find the following information:
The make-to-stock strategy gross requirements planning is particularly useful in mass production environments; it is often combined with repetitive manufacturing. This strategy is particularly useful if you need to produce, regardless of whether you have stock or not. For instance, steel or cement producers might want to use this strategy because they cannot shut down production; a blast furnace or a cement factory must continue to produce, even if this means having to produce to stock.
This strategy is also frequently used if there is a Material Requirements Planning system in a legacy system that needs to be linked to an SAP system which serves as a production execution system. The legacy system calculates a specific production plan, which has to be executed, regardless of the stock situation in the SAP system
It looks like this planning strategy is exactly what you are looking for.

VAT Tax determination- question about "Requirement" for Table-Is mandatory?

Hi everybody,
I am having problems to determine the appropriate VAT tax percent in some cases in Mexico.
In Mexico for billing at the border with other countries the VAT tax percent is 11% and for billing inside the country the VAT tax percent is 16%. For determine the VAT tax percent the sequence access is MWST and is assigned to the condition type MWST. For cover the border cases we create a table 989 with the fields: Distribution Channel/Plant and VK11 is fill out with this information. With these parameters is possible to determine successfully the VAT percent of 11% at border sales point.
The problem that I have is related to the u201Crequirementu201D assigned to the table 989: Distribution Channel/Plant. This table has assigned a standard requirement number 7- Domestic Business and when billing to a customer with address of MX (Mexico) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, the VAT tax percent of 11% is obtained successfully, because all the fields of the table are filled. But when billing to a customer with address of US ( United States of America) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, is not possible to obtain the correct VAT tax percent of 11% even all the fields of the table are filled.
I do not know if the problem is the requirement number 7- Domestic Business, but if I change for the requirement 8- Export Business then the opposite is occurring. For US customers the VAT tax percent is determinate successfully and for MX customers not, because the fields of the u201Crequirement u201Care not filled.
So, I am wondering if:
1.     Would be necessary to create a new requirement for combine the 7- Domestic Business and 8- Export Business requirements or exist one like this? I do not need to conditioning anything
2.     What happen if I left in blank the requirement field, I mean if I do not assign anything. I was doing testing for both customers and the VAT tax percent was determined correctly. But I do not know if is correct do not assign a u201Crequirementu201D to the table of the sequence of access MWST.
Thank you in advance for your help!

OK I think I understand but here is where I am at now. I originally created a regulation that requires a license when shipping to certain countries out of the EU. I set the regulation as an Export reg did all the necessary config and was able to assign licenses automatically where needed.
Has I was testing the solution I could not find sales docs or deliveries for some of the materials and finally found out they are being moved on NB PO's.
So I changed the reg to include imports etc., classified with import control class etc. but I am seeing a couple things that don't make sense and tells me my config isn't quite right.
I finally do see that the system at least recognizes the new legal reg in the screening now. before this it had not. But it is still telling me it can't find any relevant country.
The other thing the document itself only shows under Display Existing Export Documents even though in the log it says it's an import document and when I go to the Import log there is no data.
Before I realized there was a note to change the Import to export on transfer I assigned the PO types to export orders and I am thinking that's why they are showing in the export list but I woul have tought that it would say it's an export doc which it doesn't.
Any ideas?

How to do a screen sequence for a standard transaction?

Hi experts -
I have a requirement that the business wants a field on transaction VL02N to be grayed out based on specific delivery types. I have been told that that would require a custom screen sequence to be developed.
(1) What is the best solution to accomplish this?
(2) If the solution is a custom screen sequence for the standard transaction code VL02N, then how is that done?
Many thanks!
Mark

When one says "custom screen sequence" an Industry Solution that utilizes BDT, like Insurance or Gas/Oil comes to mind. Are you working with one of the BDT-based Industry Solutions in SAP? If so, customization by field-group or screen or view could be considered, but I think you'd find a much simpler way to do.
If not, one usually does this with an exit that allows control of screen elements, as does SD Order processing, a Badi implementation or enhancement in a PBO module for the screen to set the screen-input value to '0' for that field name.
You should, though, search the forums, since these kinds of questions are often asked....and answered....such as:
[VL0xN exits|VL01N / VL02N Exit;
