External Service Procurement : Queries

I have three queries regarding external Service Procurement
1) IN SERVICES Purchase order , Over delivery Tolerance and unlimited TOLERANCE can be defined at two places ,
A) in Service tab aginst each service
B) iN po LINE ITEM , DELIVERY tAB
What is the use of defining at two places and how system works , if I define 0% Overdelivery in Services but checked "Unlimited" in Delivery tab , how system will behave ?
2) If I make OverDelivery tolerance in PO Line detail->delivery Tab as ZERO , UNLIMITED automatically gets changed to YES (Flaged) ... Why it is so ? I may have cases where I dont want any Overdeliver Tolerances ?
3) In SPRO -> MM-> EXTERNAL SERVICES Mgmt -> Define Screen layout ..
we can define our screen layouts for following combinations ( as per SAP Help)
1) Object (e.g. purchase order)
2) Document type (e.g. NB)
3) Transaction code (e.g. SAP transaction ME21N)
4) Release indicator (in the standard system: B)
You can define your own field selection strings for the specified release indicator. The field selection string must be identical with the relevant release indicator.
5) Item category (e.g. D for external service or B for blanket purchase order) e.g. ME21N, "Create purchase order".
What is the priority of searching relevant Screen layout ,
like If i have defined one field (Say service number) , mandatory at Object level , Display at Document level and optional at Tocode level ... Will system show me as Display/mandatory or optional ?
Pls do reply ...
Regards
Shrey

Hi DELHI INDIA,
1) when you are creating Service PO , you may enter service no. or just a short text . And in the item level service tab you enter the detailed service list . Now when you enter the overdelivery and unlimited details at
A) in Service tab aginst each service - it is only valid for that individual service
B) iN po LINE ITEM , DELIVERY tAB - it is valid for the whole line item
But always A overrides the conditions of B.
I mean If you maintain it at A level , then it will follow the rule of A instead of B
"if I define 0% Overdelivery in Services but checked "Unlimited" in Delivery tab " the system does not allow you overdelivery . But if you have any line in services where you do not set the overdelivery limit , then for that it will take unlimited overdelivery .
2) It may be because in the item level services you have checked unlimited ( by default it is unlimited) for all the services
3)
" have defined one field (Say service number) , mandatory at Object level " - so while creating that object you have to enter the field value .eg while creating PO , vendor is mandatory3
", Display at Document level " - while creating or changing the document it wil not allow it to chane the field value as it is at display level
"optional at Tocode level " - means while executing that Tcode that field is optional , eg in MMR gross weight of a material is optional . You may or may not enter the field value.
If it does not help please elaborate it .
"Will system show me as Display/mandatory or optional ?" -- I am not getting you exacty.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Anupam

PM Module (External Service Management)

Dear All,
I am implementing PM module in my firm and need some help regarding External Service management.
Also i have created a module for gate pass for materials sending outside for repairing and have linked the material & quatity to Service description in the service PR.
Please guide in case if the material sending outside require some expensive material to be put up i.e. in case of Rubber Roll Recoating....In this case what type of PR is to be generated ideally, a Service PR with Acct asst K & item catagory D or only acct asst K.
In PM module while creating a External Service Order a PR is automatically generated as Acct,. asst 'F' & Item Category 'D'.

Hi,
it is up to you to decide what you gonna use.
Combination F/D will create a PR with reference to the maintenance order(F) and you will order a Service (D). That means if you receive the material again you need to make a serice entry (transaction ml81n). The costs for the repair will be charged to the order. But there is so far no material movement.
Or you choose a PR with F (Blank) and decide in the PR if it's gonna be subcontracting. If you get the material back you make a GR. The cost for the returns go to the order and the material will be valuated with the costs of the repairs.
There are for sure more possibilities, from just making the goods movements to showing the costs.
Therefore you need to decide what you wanna achieve.

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.

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

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>.

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.

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.

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.

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

Rogério Reis
