Rail car shipments in IS-OIL

Hi all ,
The issue is that when I am entering a normal shipment FF is coming in the partner function from the delivery. When we enter the rail car shipments it does not take the FF from the delivery. It just has the carriers in the stages section which it picks from the route. The issue is that then FF does not come in the shipment cost document. But it works for normal shipment documents.
Kindly advise how will i get the FF in the partner function in rail car shipments so that it defaults in the SCD.
Regards,

Rail Car shipments and Shipment Cost Document

Hi all,
We have a rail car shipments scenario. We wanted to include the freight forwarder in the shipment cost document. The FF is not one of the carriers in the route stages ( hence they are not coming the shipment cost document) but they so some sort of documentation for which we pay them . The logistics department wanted the FF to come in the shipment cost document. At which stage of the rail car shipment /routes we can enter them so that a SCD will be created for this.

Long Running Transport in BI

Hi,
I am trying to import few transport requests in production in BI environment.
The transport status is in Progress "Import running" (Truck Icon) since 2 hours.
As checked there are no RDD* jobs running in Sm37. TRJOBS table is empty and TRBAT had 5 entries for 5 transports.
If I check Import Monitor, the last step executed is "SET VERSION FLAGS for ...req..no... finished with return code 0" for all of them. I do not have OS level access to check TP and R3TRANS programs.
Once I tried to delete the transport entry from import monitor and restarted the transport but still it is stuck in the same status again.
Can anybody help resolve this problem?
Thank you!!

Remove header/footer/concatenate?

Hi All,
I'm new to the PI developmental game and am just back from a couple PI classes. I have been tasked with the following as my first developmental challenge and am really not sure where to start. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this one solved.
I'm currently working on a process that allows our customers to query the location of their product during shipment.
We receive flat text file updates from the shipping company 4 times a day and sometimes in multiple files.
Each file contains a header of undetermined rows and character length
Each file contains a footer of undetermined rows and character length
The file we receive is a text file that is not tab delimited and not in csv format.
The needed data resides between header/footer and has only 3 constants
Constants: the first 10 characters are the individual truck identifier name and as imagined are all unique alpha-numeric
following the rail car identifier is the date in YY/mm/dd format
the last constant is another date at the 40th character in YY/dd/mm format
I need to strip the header/footer and only keep the needed data in between. I also need to concatenate the messages (if there are multiples) in our inbound directory into a single file for outbound after processing.
My idea for processing is to use the truck name length (with a requisite entry length of 10 characters) that must be followed at the 11th character by a valid date in YY/mm/dd format. Using a rule of a requisite valid date at character 40 would further strengthen the guarantee of needed data delivery while further strengthening the removal of the header/footer/unneeded data.
Does this sound like a rational plan and if so does the content conversion have to take place in the file adapter? Inbound or outbound? How to concatenate these files into one?
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Don

Hi Donald,
For PI to receive the file you need to use the SENDER file adapter and you can use it with File Content Conversion.
Here are details how to use that: [help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm]
and here is some more information on the same:

For the concatenation it looks like you will need BPM as mentioned also by the others.

Recommendation on a good book on replenishment (DRP) using SAP SCM 5.0

Hi,
Appreciate that anyone can recommend a good, solid book on replenishment planning using SAP APO.
We don't find that SAP's documentation is helpful on replenishment planning of the global supply network, and it dos not seem to have a thoughtful design and well defined process. e.g. transport and shipment scheduling under the gATP documentation, which is clearly designed for sales order taking, and vaguely mentioned that the process can be apply for STR/STO. To me, it does not seem that author fully understand the entire supply chain planning process, from planning to execution in this regard. Another example, SAP documentation says that PP/DS heuristic can plan STR, but when you use it, then you realized that you really can not combine shipments and the planning process and execution are completely falling apart, as the scheduling dates, such like MAD, transport planning dates, pick/pack are not visible in APO nor integrated with planning process. out of sync with R/3. If using SNP, then we realized that the SNP heuristic is too simple to deal various different supply/demand situations, and have to adopt a completely different set of tools from production planning.
We have very tightly integrated global supply chain process for manufacturing, replenishment (DRP) and customer service. APO, having such sophisticated production planning functions, can not even handle such common marine transport planning well. We have both liquid and solid products with transport mode being marine, rail car, truck, barge etc. It is being a real challenge to plan our supply chain using APO.
Thank you in advance. Also appreciate anyone can share their experience.

Hi,
Check whether your Instance is up if not bring up the instance first. Try to logon to instance with DDIC user and reset the password to standard i.e 19920706.

Verizon Wireless keeps dropping the ball.

Back in March 2012 I was tired of the billing issues T-Mobile had with Suncom UnPlan users and decided to start shopping for another account.
My employer had a discount at all of the major Wireless Providers.
I called Sprint then AT&T saving Verizon for last. Both Sprint and AT&T had decent rates but when I called Verizon the sales agent made a compelling quote.
He offered me the 2000 Minute Family plan with Unlimited Talk and Text for $120 for 5 lines. He then offered me a smartphone for free with 4GB data for $30 more per month plus I would get a 20% discount. This rate was within my budget and about the same as the rate I had with T-Mobile. He gave me an estimate of the monthly cost and it was around the $150 rate. I agreed to the deal and we conferenced with the 3rd party for the contract.
I received my phones fairly quickly. I also quickly noticed the Verizon Coverage was not as good as T-Mobile especially in my house. Verizon shipped a free network extender to cover that gap. After about 1.5 months of service I received my first bill and it was huge. They had charged me activation charges for the lines that was not discussed by the salesman plus they had added $50 of monthly line charges and partial pro rated line charges that I was not quoted.
I called Verizon ready to disconnect. I ended up talking to Executive Support who corrected the billing but to my concern they did it by adding a "promotion" that would expire and I would have to call to have re-added once it expired. At least the bill was correct and I paid the same rate for a year as a loyal paying customer. Once the year had passed the "promotion" dropped and I had to go through a huge hassle to have it re-added again but they did, I was also encouraged to drop to the 1400 minute plan since I wasn't using very many minutes.
In October 2013, I contacted Verizon exec support to see if I could take advantage of some phones Best Buy was selling and to make sure my rate would not increase. The agent helped me do early upgrades and said everything should be fine. But, after the year was up they added the $50 monthly charges again. I called back to have the bill corrected and they said they would contact a department to see if they can put the "promotion" back on my account. I did not receive a call back. 1.5 months passed and I was getting the dirty Verizon calls where they didn't leave a message and answered one of them. It was billing wanting me to make a payment. I had been paying monthly, and the same rate monthly but they were wanting more but they had not contacted me back. I was hung up on 2 times in the IVR system then finally spoke to an agent. She promised to have a supervisor on the line and after about 45 minutes of trying she promised they would call me back which they did not. I then contacted VerizonWireless on Twitter having a very public expression of my ordeal and also getting quotes from Sprint and AT&T responding to those very Tweets. AT&T wants my service for $155/mo for 5 lines, 2 smartphones, 10GB shared Data, unlimited talk and text which is very comparable to what I have been paying Verizon without the $50 line charges. I finally was able to get an Executive support person on the phone and she was rude, un-understanding, and ended up rudely hanging up on me. I called back to support and wanted to complain against her and her refusal to escalate along with the hangup. I was promised again a callback. At one point I had told the Executive support exactly what I want out of this situation.... either:
1) Correct the billing, Remove the $50 monthly charges as my verbal agreement in the initial sales call was defined.
or
2) Remove all charges, no disconnect charges, we can wash our hands of each other and I will begin anew with AT&T.
Before hanging up on me she offered a $200 one time credit but no permanent billing fix. She welcomed the disconnection of my service and offered no termination charges for one of my 2 lines still in contract. I informed her I did not consider being within any contract once they breeched it by adding charges that were not agreed to in the original sales call/contract.
After contacting Customer Service again the agent I spoke with was appalled by the way I was treated and assured me they would escalate to the level beyond the agent who hung up on me and promised a callback. She also noted that the account shows they had offered a $200 credit every 4 months which exactly offsets those monthly charges and I told her that was EXACTLY the kind of thing that could resolve this for us and I was good with that. She said she would apply the credit and it should show up within 3 business days. I continued to check and almost 2 weeks passed. No credit has been added.
I called back again tonight 6/27 and asked the agent when the credit would be applied... She told me the credit was pending a supervisor approval and couldn't guarantee me that it will ever be applied. I explained how many hours I worked on this and the time I have invested along with the mental anguish. She wanted to consult with someone after she had me tell her the whole story again and was away from the phone for some times. Once she came back she pushed the point everyone at Verizon wants to make telling me the promotion expired. I had to keep explaining the promotion was only placed on my account to correct the billing issue caused by the rate the sales agent had sold the service to me. I told her I didn't care what they wanted to call the price correction as long as my bill was back down to the affordable rate. She wasted 1 hour of my time tonight. Again I have the promise of a callback. I thought 2 weeks again this issue was totally resolved but it appears it is happening again.
Now I must mention the other issues I have had with Verizon. And the other hours of calls related to the LG phones sent to me originally and how I had to send d back 8 piece of junk phones with issues such as charging issues, non responding keys, screen not responding, microphone failure, etc. And the torture it took to get Verizon to send replacement Samsung phones for these units. Verizon wrongly made me purchase all of the back plates and batteries instead of providing those.
Another issue was he hassle I had with BestBuy where they couldn't sell me the phones due to Verizon having my Droid Charge showing up as an Unknown Device in the system. This disrupted the BestBuy system and cost me hours of support on the phone/ at the store/ backing up lines. Etc. Best Buy was at the point where they were just going to give us the phones because of all of the trouble. All of the trouble stemmed from how Verizon changed the phone to an Unknown device in punishment for having an unlocked device.
Another issue was with coverage at my Son's college. They had almost zero coverage and Verizon support put in a ticket to investigate. They found it was due to coverage. The agent that put in the ticket said they would provide him a range extender at no cost if they found it to be an issue with coverage. When I called back to have the range extender shipped they balked. The person on the phone pretty much called me a liar and I had to go through executive support again to have the range extender sent to resolve his problems.
All said, Verizon has an investment in me, they have provided 2 range extenders. The have corrected errors that resulted in activation fees. They corrected pricing errors by adding a counter acting "promotion". They still are more expensive than AT&T even without those line charges. Why can't I just have the original deal honored. Why does my time and investment selecting a service, listening to a sales pitch, accepting a deal, not count for anything? Why must I spend hours on the phone to get things corrected? Why was I sold a non-standard plan? Why do I have to shop again for service? Why not just honor the original deal? Why is Verizon more expensive than AT&T? Why does Sprint/AT&T/ and T-mobile have better coverage locally than Verizon?
Please send this information to the CEO.

I'm not sure you fully read/understood my wordy post. A sales agent made an offer (verbal contract) which I used to select Verizon's service. There was no "pro ration" talk. I know most people probably physically travel to a dealer and make their wireless purchase, this was not the case for me. I did not sign a contract. I listened to the telephone salesman's sales pitch, entering into the contract on his word. I did not use any other method to "validate" his offer as I trusted him as an agent of Verizon Wireless and took his word much like you would accept the word of a car dealer if he told you the price of a car also included free oil changes and a free tank of gas monthly. If you went to the dealer and they started charging for oil changes and gas after the sale was made based on the salesman's offer, it would be a breech of the verbal contract and it is very likely that a lawsuit would award the plaintiff a victory (If there was any way to prove the wording of the verbal contract). Lucky for me, Verizon Wireless records their sales calls and a third party is engaged to verbally witness the contract "signing". Though my wordy story is confusing due to the convolution Verizon has spun into this web, the issue here is entirely based on the initial offer I accepted from the sales agent. I would not have selected Verizon's service if the offer had been $50 more per month like they are now trying to charge me.
I understood your post just fine. What I am pointing out is the fact that the customer agreement specifically states no other "contract," verbal or written, overrides the customer agreement.
"This agreement and the documents it incorporates form the entire agreement between us. You can't rely on any other documents, or on what's said by any Sales or Customer Service Representatives, and you have no other rights regarding Service or this agreement. This agreement isn't for the benefit of any third party except our parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest. Except where we've agreed otherwise elsewhere in this agreement, this agreement and any disputes covered by it are governed by federal law and the laws of the state encompassing the area code of your wireless phone number when you accepted this agreement, without regard to the conflicts of laws and rules of that state."
So, no, there was no other binding contract you or Verizon entered into. Their customer agreement is quite clear about that. No analogy or comparison to any other type of service or contract applies here. You consented to the customer agreement which includes the above statement. I am not saying I agree with it or like it, but that is the contract you agreed to.
The recorded call and third party witness won't help you. It doesn't matter what the agent said, or what anyone witnessed other than the Verizon Wireless Customer Agreement. Having said that, the contract for service doesn't include pricing, only that you will maintain service for the duration of the agreement. The plan, pricing, and features are not part of it. Neither is a guarantee of an employee discount. If you have a discount that applies when you sign up for service and then change employers during that time, you will lose the original discount as it is not part of the contract. Additionally, the customer agreement states that no class action lawsuits are allowed.

Closing an iPad app in 7.0.4

I updated my iPad to ios 7.0.4 yesterday. Previously, one could double-tap the button at the bottom, and then hold a finger on the resulting icons, and get a little X to close the application. I had been tolD (at the PeachMac store where I bought it) that this would save power.
Now, a double-tap brings up a scrolling window with all of the open applications. This option doesn't seem to be available anymore. Is it gone? Or is there another way to access it?
(I'm very disappointed that Apple seems to be following the Microsoft practice of changing the user interface through which one operates the system. Regardless of what arguments might be made for how some interface other than a steering wheel, accellerator pedal and brake may be for controlling a car, this has the virtue that once one learns how to do it effectively, one can continue to drive more or less forever. I would love to put the people behind these decisions in a world in which, every time they picked up their car after getting the oil changed, the steering wheel was gone, and a new "user interface" suddenly replaced it, with no explanation. It would be especially satisfying if they were late for an important appointment, and had to sit in the parkiing lot in frustration wondering how to start the car.)
Thanks in advance.

Bring my MBP in for battery replacement comes back with broken display

So I took my late 2011 15" MBP in for a warranty covered battery replacement and when I returned to pick it up they told me that the display does not work. Never had an issue with the display and worked fine when I brought in an opened it up for them to inspect it cosmetically. They tell me it will be 500 dollars to repair this and theres nothing I can do about it. They offered to let me pay for half of the repair. But still, does this not seem right? You dont drive your car in for an oil change and come back to find 4 flat tires you are $500 on the hook for.

May be some sort of electronic short also took out the display along with the battery, if there was obvious physical damage they would have caught it at the get go.
If you don't have AppleCare, a 3 year old machine facing high repair costs, I would suggest you don't spend another dime on it and either buy a new one or a cheaper Windows laptop if your rough on hardware.
My Early 2011 is still like brand new, because I'm very careful with it.
This will assist in getting your data off the dead machine.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

Use of Sales BOM to force ATP against Bulk Material?

Background:
Our business was recently acquired, and we have migrated to the parent company's R/3 system. In our previous MRP system (R/2), we planned, produced, and shipped a single bulk Material ID in Trucks, Rail Cars, Flexi-Bags, and Iso-Tainers. In the new system, specific Material IDs are now required for each of these modes. However, we do not store the inventory in these modes, nor do we wish to plan at this detailed level.
Considered So Far:
Initial suggestion was to use A.T.O. to look through a BOM and automatically create production orders for each customer order. However, this seems to add additional complexity that we do not really need, and makes changing order dates more challenging (have to move both the order and the accompanying Prod. Order).
Desired Outcome:
Order is entered and priced based upon the mode-specific Material ID, but inventory is relieved from the Bulk material. In our previous R/2 system, there was a field on the material master called "Std.Prod." which stood for Standard Product Link. We used it for synonymous products where we produced and inventoried under one name, but sold under several different names. The customer materials were set up as type SALE and referenced the inventoried material, set as type FINI, in this Std. Prod. field. Thus, at the header level, the user saw the SALE material, but for planning and at the batch level, the system showed the FINI.
Options?
I am told that, due to the amount of custom coding and user exits surrounding outputs and interfaces to EDI and other external systems, the use of Material Determination would require too much testing and potentially too much development work. But, is it the best / correct solution to the problem? Because right now, I don't have the ability to perform ATP against the inventoried Material, so nothing confirms. Would the use of a 1 to 1 Sales BOM offer anything different?
Many Thanks in Advance,
J.P.

Hello JP
Material Determination (MD) works with Consignment orders, only you need to assign a MD procedure to the requisite sales document type in config ( TO code OV14). Product substitution, which is a specialized form of MD, makes use of special item cats like TAX and TAPS or TAPA and TAN for main and substitute items respectively, but you can always make copies of them and use them with consignment orders also in conjunction with item category usages like PSHP. PSEL, PSA1 and PSA2. There could be resultant issues, but unless you test you won't know them all.
Your second question about 'Sale would go against the finished good (Truck / Rail material) while the production costs go against the Bulk', brought a new realization in me. You are ordering, pricing and delivering Truck or Rail materials, but those requirements have to be converted to Production orders for bulk material, so from a Sales and Distribution (SD) point of view you don't need anything extra, therefore work with you Production Planning (PP) consultant to convert the requirements at PP end?? May be without resorting to MD or BOMs in Sales, you can work with your PP consultant and with standard config or custom development, you may realize your desired outcome.
Also as long as cost is maintained in the sales Material (Truck for example) with due regard to the additional costs in converting Bulk to truck, you should be fine. Follow the example below:
Standard cost of 1 ton , say X, is stored in Bulk Material master.
Now if there is no additional cost and you just load the bulk material into a truck and if a Truck is 10 ton, then Truck material would have 10X in its material master for cost.
But if there is some other material and/or labor involved in converting bulk to Truck and their cost is y, then you will have (10x+y) in your truck material. Also it is worthwhile to capture the additional cost in the Production/Assembly order via components and operations.
Your problem is not insurmountable, but you need to assemble a team of SD. PP, MM and CO experts to design an integrated solution for you.

BW Profile mapping.

First Of All, Thank You all of you guys for helping this community.
I am BW side, try to get extract data in BW, speically Rail Car.
1. For 0SCEM_1: Ext. Stru: /SAPTRX/BWTFSEH, We have append structure define already and I can enhance by adding new fields
First Problem:
When I fill up setup table and run in RSA3 to check extract structure, some data is not filled up like shipto.sold to..purchase order etc..which is coming from application system. I check in /N/SAPTRX/TSC0PDS and PDM and other parameter assignment it assign correctly.
Also, I check /saptrx/eh_info and eh_cntrl..to check those parameter but no value..
- What is the reason this standard fields are not getting value.??
     - May be this Dev system that why it's not getting value ( May be data is not available)
     How, I know: by creating PO order or Delivery in dev system,,that might trigger EH to bring data....
     - How I check this PO order, or shipto or other fields are getting value from App system..only EH_Info/Cntrl table??
     - How to correct this value??
Second:
If I enhace this extract sturcture : in BW profile if this fields not available in Info/control/sys then I need to create Ext. Table and add this field..but this field how it get value
- From SAPTRX/TSC0PDM - system parameter assignment..but this value can I popup from any table in EM system..like /saptrx/standard table..
Please, help me out.
Thanks Again..
Chandresh Patel

Hello Chandresh,
for the first problem you should check the extractors in the application system in transaction /SAPTRX/ASC0AO for info and cntrl params.
Second problem is mor or less the same: Data must be exttracted from Apllication system either to info, cntrl or system parameter.
Best regards,

What defrag program should I use

What is the best free defrag program I can use

I run 8-10 Macs in a network for my photography business and have done so for years. Any notion that Macs or OSX do not need to be defragged is utterly wrong. HARD DRIVES begin fragmenting the moment you start using them. ALL hard drives, regardless of platform.
While it may be technically correct that OSX itself doesn't need to be defragged - perhaps - ALL hard drives need maintenance or severely fragmented drives will cause lots of frustrating spinning ball... Apple has always claimed OSX does not need to be defragged - a confusing comment - since it makes them a LOT of money since people often believe a slow Mac needs to be replaced when, in truth, Genius bar technicians often use Drive Genius 3 to defrag and optimize your dysfunctional Mac.
Hard drives become fragmented much more quickly if you move a lot of large files frequently, as opposed to lots of small files BUT small files can also add up, in time, to cause fragmentation. Once the drive is severely fragmented,k you get a LOT of spinnning ball on a Mac - period. A hard drive is like oil in a car engine - changing the oil now and then is mandatory - just like defragging is neccesary now and then if your Mac gets slow.
Example: In the office my business partner has been running an older iMac for 6 years. Just recently it progressed to being so sluggish - spinning ball constantly - that it barely ran at all. I admit to not having paid attention to her office Mac, so my fault... She was frustrated beyond belief - it was tough to accomplish any office task.
Yesterday I tested her drive for fragmentation using Drive Genius 3 to discover her drive was 25% fragmented - enormous for a Mac, in my experience. Naturally, my business partner felt she needed a new Mac. I wish I owned every Mac folks throw out due to nothing more than having a need for defragmentation...
Drive Genius 3 would <not> run on her 2007 Intel iMac 2 ghz machine so I resorted to an old copy of iDefrag which ran like a charm!!! This morning, after running iDefrag last night, her machine is as snappy as a brand new Mac!
Folks, do NOT believe those who say your Mac never needs to be defragged. Yes, Apple does say OS 10 doesn't need defragging BUT <your hard drive DOES need it> once it become severely fragmented. I am not a deep techie - I know only what keeps my Macs which often run 12 hours/day in good shape. I assure you Macs DO need to be defragged.
Be aware some utilities like TechTool Pro and Drive Genius do not work on all Macs. (call the utility tech support immediately if a newly purchased utility will not boot up on your Mac) In the case of my partner's iMac yesterday, only iDefrag would boot up but it did a great job!

Delivery & Billing document (Cross Company)

Hi All,
This is Cross Company STO process
Reciving plant (R111) create PO of 5,00,000 KG which can be send by supply Plant (S222) throughout a year
Material is Coal Ash , fills into Railcar but at the time of filling Material in railcar they didn't know the exact weight, so fill with estimated weight (based on the size of railcar they can derive this quantity) of lets say 500KG, after that S222 plant completed delivery with PGI as well as billing/invoice for 500 KG .
Rail car will reach to weighting machine after 4 days and on weighting machine exact weight comes out is 650KG (Or less 450KG for 2nd case) , the exact weight information will send to S222 plant
Rail car will reach to plant R111 after 20 days and plant R111 do GR wrt Delivery doc ( for Qty 500KG) and do invoicing for the same qty of 500KG, they didn't know that exact weight is 650KG
- For Difference quantity of 150KG (which is extra), plant S1111 create one more delivery and one more billing/invoice document.
For same quantity plant R111 do GRN and create one more invoice.
- Why Plant S222 doing PGI if they don't know the excat quantity?
Because for plant S222, they have to show goods sold as of day to Management, they can not wait for next 4 days for exact weight.
Requirment -
1. Company wants every railcar should have only one Invoice so they can track invoice railcarwise
2. How will we manage if weight quantity is less after weighing lets say (450KG) in this case, what plant S111 will do
Appriciate your early response.
Thx
Shree

what have you done before you implemented SAP?
In general you would have a gap in the reporting value just in one month, the month of changing approach, from then on it is always a month, what you miss at the end is added in the beginning.
What about buying an own weigh bridge to get the accurate weight right on time?
Make a calculation how much effort it is to monitor this case, to create subsequent deliveries and billing per rail car or subsequent cancellations and credit notes per rail car.
Usually the management is keen to save costs.
Here you have actually an internal case, even 2 legal companies are involved, they belong to the same concern, so the money does not really leave, hence no loss interest.
All effort is just for reporting.
As said before, if management does not want to move from their position, then their is no way around a complicated process that can cause a lot trouble
