Reg external services

Dear all,
we have a make to stock scenario where there is an assembly shop all the components are bouht out and only assembling activity takes place and even labour for assembly is on contract basis,how to place a purchse order for getting manpower as soon as we receive a sales order.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This is very much possible with third party process.
U need to choose the item category for the sales order to trigger the PR, and the PO is created based on event based batch job.
Hope this will answer ur query.

How to use bapi /external service directly in application service

Hi
I have to use BAPI_ALM--RDER_MAINTAIN in my caf application
i have imported it as external service.As there are problems mapping its input fields to entity service , it has to be consumed directly vai application service.
But i ahve never done so before.Can someone give me an example as to how t do it.
If someone can give example of how to code in the application service to call the bapi , it would be great . as i have some time constraint.
Thanks ,
Points assured for help.

Limit PO Err Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I am having a problem while replicating free text Limit PO's to R/3 in SRM 4.0 SP 13. The issue is while creating Free Text Limit SC with the "Confirmation and Invoice" option checked in, the PO's get created in SRM but fails while replicating to R/3 and in RZ20 errors as "Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services" although in vendor master i don't have check for the field "GR-Based Invoice Verification".
On the contrary while creating SC with the "Invoice Only" the PO is successfully replicated to R/3 with item category as B for limit orders.
Now i have noticed if i make changes in the vendor master data i.e. check the flag "GR-Based Invoice Verification" then the PO in my first scenario gets replicated successfully and also with respect to the second scenario but it gets replicated in both the scenarios as item category "D".
As far as SRM standard it should have ideally behave like the below:
Limit SC with GR AND Invoice -> item category D
Limit SC with invoice only -> item category B.
Now my question is why do my PO's fail in R/3 in the first scenario and also if i check the flag in vendor master for GR-Based Invoice verification then in the second scenario the item category is "D" instead of "B".
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards
Anirban

Limit PO :Combination of GR/IR is not allowed for external services

Hi,
we are working in SRM40 sp09 & back end ECC.50
In the Limit PO:
we are able to create Limit PO from a shopping cart.The follow on documents in ECC, it is creating a PO with Item category "B" and the "invoices" are only possible.
The Issue:
The Client wants the Confirmation/GR functionality to be enabled and the Invoices.
but for Limit PO, with follow on documents--"Confirmation" is checked, we have a error messagecombination of GR/IR is not allowed for external services".
Is there any addition configuration or steps involved.
Thanks and Regards,
RK.

Hi
<b>Please go through the links below, which address the same issue -></b>

Error while using external service from application service

Hello All,
I have exposed webservice from a CAF project that i am importing as external service in another CAF project. Now i am using application service to directly call the external service. following is the code in my application service:
Ns6_getCountryByCode__R inp = new Ns6_getCountryByCode__R();
               inp.setNs6_countryCode(countryCode);
               try {
                      HRServicesWSVi__DocumentLocal bn = this.getHRServicesWSVi__Document();
                      Ns6_getCountryByCode__RResponse result = bn.getCountryByCode__R(inp);
                      retValue.setCountryCode(result.getNs6_Response().getNs3_countryCode());
                      retValue.setCountryName(result.getNs6_Response().getNs3_countryName());
                 }catch(Exception e){
                      throw new ServiceException(e);
I am getting the following error
ERROR. Problem in server response: [Bad Request].:
What could be the problem ? Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ashutosh Rastogi

Hello,
It's always a good idea to check the log file. In many cases you find hints what the reason for the error could be. The log file can be found here: <root>usrsap<SID>JC30j2eeclusterserver0logdefaultTrace.<xy>.trc where <root> is probably c:, SID something like F33, F41, ... and <xy> a number 0, 1, .... -> the highest number is the last and therefore most youngest log file. Please check out this file.
Another very common (but trivial) error is that you forgot to specify the URL and the end point location of your Web Service in CAF's config tool. This tutorial explains this beginning on page 20 <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/11669cea-0c01-0010-63b2-b98c35b1b370">Using a Web Service as External Service</a>.

Please help with error message invoking external service from BPEL

Yes, I'm new to Oracle SOA Suite and BPEL Process manager. I've searched the forums, OTN, and Google and have not found any description of this error message:
"oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Number of SOAP body elements and parts do not match in operation: <operation-name>"
Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and WebLogic/SOA 10.3.2.0.
The BPEL process was built completely using JDeveloper's graphical tools... I haven't done any raw editing of the BPEL files yet. What types of things might I possibly be doing wrong that would cause this error to occur? Any idea what two things the server is comparing and deciding that there's a mismatch? It doesn't look like it is even attempting to invoke the external service, but bailing out before that, thinking that it's going to send bad data. Below is a bit more detail.
Also, I loaded up the WSDL (same one that I gave to JDeveloper) into SOAPUI. Then I took the payload that SOA was about to send (see below) and pasted it into SOAPUI. SOAPUI didn't complain and the target web service accepted the message and produced a "success" response. It looks like the payload is correct, so I don't know why SOA is complaining.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Welcome to BPEL. Take a moment, and write "it's a namespace issue" on a sheet of paper. Post it near your monitor. It won't always be a namespace issue, but it's usually a good thing to suspect first! Is the namespace prefix ns1: defined somewhere? Does your XML that is being sent really match what the WSDL has for input to the UpsertEmp operation? The namespaces for each element level in the XML need to match, not just the lowest level.
When problems like this get really sticky, you can use TCP tunneling (obtunnel shell?) to capture what is really being sent to the server, and compare that to what is sent from SOAPUI. That's more useful if it's a subtle header problem, but you may get better error messages if you catch the BPEL message and send it using SOAPUI.
Good Luck, Andy

Error on External Serrvice Configuration Page NW 20047s SP10
re-create your configuration if possible and see whether that fixes it

External services moved, but SOA suite still gives "no route to host"

We have a SOA Suite integrating towards external services. The external service provider moved the services to a different server, and updated dns entries to reflect this move. But our SOA Suite gave "no route to host" errors when this move was performed, clearly not reloading the changes done in DNS, but still using the old address.
How and where can the SOA Suite be configured to actually time out domain name resolutions, when external services are moved this way. Can we ask it to use hostname instead of ip address.
Bouncing the servers is of course working, but there must be a configuraiton way around this.
bouncing production servers is the final resort.

also check for firewalls on the server - a good test would be to an attempt to telnet into webservice hostname and portnumber from the SOA Server.

Job error in external Service when printing from Google Cloud: HP Laserjet Professional P 1102w

I have set up my printer and associated it with Google Cloud Printing. I have shared the printer with my daughter who is on a chromebook. When she tries to print, the printer is there and the job is sent to ePrint bu I get an error saying: "job error in external service". No documents are able to print. Google says this is an HP problem.
I have deleted the printer on my daughters account and re-shared it and reassociated it, but this does not help. On my printers page, my daughter's google account is identified as "allowed to print". But it still doesnt work. Any ideas?
This question was solved.

Hello mapuche,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Will the Laserjet P1102w accept an ePrint from any / all other areas? For example, if (on the Chromebook) you open an Email, forward the Email to the printers ePrint address, will it print?
Try logging into HPConnected, under Devices, click Settings> Open to Anyone.
Try sending a print via Google Cloud Print now with this setting enabled, let me know if it sends the print through. I have seen this straighten many issues out.
Would not be a bad idea to check for firmware updates on the printer too: HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility<---A USB connection and Windows computer is needed.

Hi
T165A is used for 'Services Pricing'.
Please note that for Services PO, you will have two pricing schema.
1) At PO-Item Level : RM0000 (or whatever you define in schema determination in Purchasing ->Conditions IMG and assign in your vendor master)
2) At service line level : Based on settings in T165A.
If you check in Services level conditions screen and click on Analysis, you will find that ZS0001 is triggered.

Business Objects, external services and application services in CAs

Hi All,
right now we are developing our first eSOA Composite Application with CE and I have some questions regarding Business Objects, the import of external services and the development of application services.
As I understood there are two ways to provide business functionality for composite applications:
a. Import backend functionality as an external service (e.g. BAPI, RFC) at the CAF, build the application service which can be used as a callable object for UIs or the GPs
b. Develop a local Business Object (in CAF) providing the business logic, create the application service which again can be used as a callable object. Furthermore the application service can be exposed as a Web Service (external service).
My questions:
1. When is it appropriate to to import external services in stead of developing local BOs?
2. Under what conditions is it advisable to (solely) develop local BOs?
3. What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding the reusability of the services (in option a and b)?
Note: We are developing on NetWeaver 2004s.
Please let me know, if you need more information to answer the questions!
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,
Ivonne

Hi Ivonne,
first of all, the CAF Business Objects (BOs) itself don't contain any business logic, they're basically just local database tables (with some CRUD services on top).
Business logic is implemented in Application Services (AS).
Now, regarding local BO's vs. external services, it depends on your use case. If the data is already available somewhere in your backend system it makes sense to use external services. For instance you wouldn't want to store business partners all over different composites. For data that is specific to your composite (in particular configuration, customizing etc.) and not likely to be reused by other applications you should use local BOs.
Accessing local BO's is also much faster than calling external services.
You can do reuse in both scenarios, since the CAF services can be exposed as web services.
Regards,
Christian

Generate External Service PR from Process order

Hi,
i want to generate a PR for external service on an operation fro the process order and then make a service entry sheet against it, is this possible in SAP? I set the control key accordingly, a PR is generated but it is not for external service, it is working well for subcontracting. It is possible to generate PR for external service manually but i want to automate the process.
Thanks

Hi Muhammad Naveed,
In PP cycle we do not use the concept of taking external services. External services is hiring a vendor to come to your plant and do the servicing for your equipment. This is followed in plant maintenance module.
In PP cycle, we only send the material outside to vendor for doing a certain operation using PR - PO (subcontracting scenario).
Hope you are clear.
