RICEF requirements

HI All
I am working on a upgrade project from 4.6 to ECC 6.0. In this i have to write Functional specs on Reports, Interfaces, Enhancements and Forms. In the requirement given to me most of them( all in Reports,Interfaces,Enhan,Forms) shows as existing and then some of them as new. What do i have to do for writing functional spec with existing ones or the new ones?Can any body explain me what to write?
Thank you

Hi Deepa,
As in any upgrade, the following will happen:
1. Existing objects (RICEF) may be affected, and
2. You might want to add more functionality which may require writing of functional specs for this.
So in your case, you need to find out whether the old objects are being affected by the upgrade. If yes, then you need to ascertain what is the change and how would you reinstate of even enhance the functionality existing before the upgrade. When you have know this you can accordingly write the specification.
For added functionality, you might just know what you need to do. Write a fresh spec.
Hope this helped you. If yes, pls don't forget to assign points. Thanks,
Vishal.

Visibility of Inventory at Vendor Location using Inventory Overview Monitor

Hi All,
We have the following Business Requirement:
"Customer to have visibility of the inventory of the Location Product maintained at the Supplier Location. The inventory data will be sent by the supplier through EDI on a daily basis"
Note:
1. This is for a standard Purchasing process (not subcontracting).
2. The other scenarios involved are PO,ASN,Invoice & OFM.
We were planning to use the "Inventory Overview Monitor" functionality under SNI to achieve this functionality (Ref : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/f1/2f5642222fc553e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
Can anyone tell me what will be the
a. Master Data
b. Customization / Configurations on SNC system
c. Developments ( I think the B2B interface - mapping the EDI Inventory file to the ProductActivityNotification XML message is the only RICEF required)
required to use this functionality?
Thanks
Bharath

Hi All,
Has anyone come across a similar requirement before?
Any inputs regarding this requirement will be very helpful.
Thanks

RICEF Security - best practice to develop security specs

Good Morning All,
We have new ECC implementation kicked off, my question is how RICEF security is controlled? What are the standard guidelines practised in industry?
We are encouraging process teams to start use authorizations checks in custom transactions where ever necessary, ABAP team says this is in discreation of BP, ABAP will enforce checks if Business Process(BP) ask.
I not sure if BP will take that extra time to think on authorization checks for RICEFS, we security team offered help to BP saying we can help on finding appropriate auth objects for their RICEF objects.
As we cannot really enforce this or push hard, I am trying to think what is best way to get this in place.
What I think is for some custom tcodes, which are low risk reports there is really no need to induce 2nd level check(1st level being S_TCODE) but my concern is this should not be taken for granted.
I would like to hear suggestions from group.
Thank You.

Subject title made more meaningful.

Their job is to make it work and security is very often seen as a barrier
This is very unfortunate but often true Security can however also offer cool solutions to spagetti code and defunct requirements!
As you correctly state, the reason is often lack of training, awareness and being under pressure from deadlines and complexity. I also suffer under this but have with time learnt that "right first time" is the best way.
The ideal solution IMO would be to integrate the authority-check statement into both the external and internal license meaurement.
- A program without any authority-check is freeware because anyone can run it.
- A program with a display auth check run by a user with display authorizations costs 1 cents each time.
- A program with change / create checks run by a user with change / create authorizations costs 2 cents each time.
- A program with delete checks run by a user with delete authorizations costs 5 cents each time.
- Any program with any checks run by a user with FROM --> TO ranges in authorizations costs 20 cents each time.
- A program with a display auth check run by a user with SAP_ALL costs 100 cents each time.
- etc...
This way, developers will add as many appropriate checks to their code so that it generates revenue from the application. Business process owners will try to restrict the authority-checks to only those really needed and will restict authorizations as much as possible to exact values when testing their roles.
Would work like a charm... but I'm sure there is a catch somewhere...
Cheers,
Julius

Hi Tilak,
Although I am not 100% sure, I have not heard specifically of any transport mechanism in SAP HANA.
This can however be achieved by Export and Import functionality available in HANA..which can Export/Import content models, tables etc.. it can be accessed from the Quick Lauch screen.

Could someone explain me about tools like "RICEF"

Hi Guys,
Could someone explain me about tools like "RICEF"(I dont know if iam spelling it correctly) and ASAP methodology. Iam wondering how this are related to SAP upgrade and fresh SAP implementation.
Many thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Garrick.

Hi
It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
1) Set the project scope.
2) Generate the Project IMG.
3) Generate the BPML.
4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.
Hope this information provides information

Need RICEF Security specfifications for Interfaces and Conversions

Hi All,
I need RICEF security specfications for Interfaces and Conversions. Can anyone provide any input on this.
Regards
Plaban

Hi Plaban,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. As mentioned, as per my knowledge there is no specific guideline/template that you may adapt while designing the security design for the Interfaces and Conversions.
However, the most common issues that occurs with IDOCs is with file interfaces are related to file permissions, file ownership and character conversions moving between platforms.
Ensure that the appropriate authorization (read/write and with filters) authorization is provided. Identify the various levels of authorizations required and implement the same.
Further, most issues with ALE interfaces are with RFC user ID permissions. Ensure that the appropriate and only the Required authorization is provided to these IDs. This way you can tighten the authorization to the specific level. You may need to completely test the functionality before implementing this.
It is always important to understand these limitations during the functional design. If any specific additional functionality is required, you may need to have a custom based solution.
Hope this answers your question!!
Warm Regards,
Raghu

Functional Specification & RICEF

Dear Experts ,
Can anybody please provide some functional specification documents with respect to SAP PM.
Also please let me know what is basically the role of Functional consultants with respect to RICEF ?
Regards
Keerthan Kumar

Keerthan,
The document template for Functional specification format should be determined by the organization how they want it.
Also, Functional Specifications answers the Questions as:
1. What is the Type of requirement (from RICEF i.e., is it a Report or Enahncement or Form or Interface)
2. What is the exact requirement.
3. What are the tables and Fields involved.
4. What are the screens involved (if any).
5. What would be the selection screen (if report).
6. What would be the exact format.
7. What are the controls and authorization checks involved. etc.
Sharing hereby one sample document found on google as below but still it is how your organization wants to design it:

Configuring requirement : ordered item to absorb cost of free goods

Hello Friends,
I need to configure this in SAP SD.
The main item should accumulate the cost of the free goods.
I have set the cumulative indicator and deactivated pring for this item.
Do i still need to configure the stock value for the free goods as cost free item? Or is this step only applicable for
another scenario, like,
If I were to activate Pricing such that free goods is displayed as subitem and VPRS configured as cost and discount set to 100%
1. Set Item category to TANN using FREE usage AND
2. use condition type RL00 with requirement 55.
3. use pricing type B.
regards
Ravi

Deploying only Acrobat XI Pro CC package w/ Enterprise Serial # - Still getting "Sign In Required"

Downloaded Creative Cloud Packager to create a serialized package of only Acrobat XI Pro. I further customize the deployment via Adobe Customization Wizard XI, but did not re-enter the serial number (as suggested). I am able to deploy from the Exceptions folder with the following cmd, msiexec /i "%inst%AcroPro.msi" PATCH="%inst%Updates\AcrobatUpd11006.msp" TRANSFORMS="%inst%Transforms\en_US.mst" /qn. Upon launching Acrobat, I receive the a pop-up message, "Sign In Required. Siging in with an Adobe ID and registering Creative Cloud Membership Enterprise is required within 32767 days otherwise it will stop working." I don't understand why the serial number and Adobe ID I enterred when packaging did not carry over. Any insight would be appreciated.

New to HD Editing and CS, building a PC to suit requirements of HD edit. Experienced help wanted :-)

Firstly let me say hi and thanks in advance to all that read and assist with my questions
A Bit about me..
I have recently acquired the need for video editing at a much higher level with both having a family now (baby daughter) and a very active hobby (rc heli flying at a sponsored level). With this in mind I bought a HD video camera some time back without the realisation that, to effectively edit such footage requires horsepower!!.... so i have saved up for a new computer and ended up here after much reading on various forums (toms hardware, video guys etc etc).
Where I am up too....
I have started by firstly implementing a NAS into my Home network which is primarily used to store and stream media (Gigabit LAN) around the home. It is setup in RAID 5 with 5 x 2TB disks (so about 7TB of storage). I have done this so there is some backup of photos, movies, home video etc (if I lose a disk , hopefully i will not lose the lot). I have also acquired adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 and now need a workstation that will allow me to edit in confort ( the one I have will not even run it!! .
My aim is to store original files and completed work on the NAS (or burn to Bluray etc).
I am looking at a PC solution, as I can obviously get more horsepower for less $$ than a laptop solution.
I have built PC's in the past but not with high frequency and this will be the biggest budget one I will have attempted. I have been researching alot over the last few weeks about sytems and components and found this forum to be very good in dealing with hardware specs and requiremnts in a very proffesional way.
I am now at the point where I getting a little muddled with which way to go and still have a lot of research to complete. My approach is to tackle each of the components needed one at a time in a fairly hierarchial manner.
What the PC will be used for..
This PC will be used primarily for the video editing and some gaming (when I have time). AlLso any other horsepower intensive apps if needed (I have a laptop and other comps for general duties).
Budget
My budget is fairly rigid at $2500 AUD (so I am not looking at a Zeon solution LOL). The budget is to include:
Case                              ?
CPU                            Intel I7 2600K (based on my research this seems to be the best way to go with my budget and needs)
CPU Cooler                  Standard Intel supplied Cooler (seems to perform reasonably well even when moderately overclocking (~4.0 - 5.0 khz)
MOBO                           ?
RAM                              ?
Graphics Card                 ?
BLURAY Writer               ?
PSU                               ?
HDD Storage               1 SSD and 3 HDD's with 2 in Raid "0"
OS                              Windows 7 64 Bit
23 inch Screen               ?
Questions
     Motherboard
I guess my issues with MOBO slection revolve firstly around which chipset to go with Z68 (newer) or the P67? It seems the Z68 is feature rich, however I also seem to feel that the Quick sync and SRT would be better disabled with what I am setting the machine up for? So therefore what advantage is there with going with Z68 if any? or am I better off getting a more established P67 chipset based board?
I also see that some boards have the Nvidia NF200 for expanding bandwidth on the restrictive 16 PCIe lanes available on the 1155 socket boards given I am only looking at one decent Graphics card is this a chip I should avoid (as I have read this can cause latency with only one graphics card)?
Another thing I have noticed is some boards have a PLX PEX8608 chip which seems to manage the limited PCIe lanes better if other cards are plugged in?
I also see some boards have the Marvell Sata 3 controller on them that does not seem to perform as well as the native Intel Sata 3 controller on the Southbridge in tests. I guess I have no real idea of when I would be looking at stretching the bandwidth and wonder whether I need to concern myself with 4 x sata 3 connections (2 intel and 2 Marvell)?
One last question I see there is now MOBO's available with PCIe 3.0 available (even though there are no devices that can utilize it) is this even worth being a consideration or is it not really of any importance to the slection process?
In summary it appears there is lots of goodies on offer with different chipsets and boards, however I do not want to waste budget on things I have no use for or gimmicks.
     CPU Cooler
It is my intent to start with the factory supplied Intel bundled cooler and invest the money not spent on this item on better graphics card etc. For moderate Overclocking it seems to perform ok.... am hoping this will be ok?
    HDD Storage
At this stage I am not up to speed with the exact storage devices I need, I am initially looking at whether my ideas for a storage system have merit? Please bear in mind I am not a CSpro user as of yet and so some of this is just based on research with no base knowledge....?
1 x ~120Gb SSD                                    for OS and Programs
1 x ??Gb/TB HDD 7200 rpm                    for Media Projects
2 x ?? Gb/TB HDD 7200 rpm in raid "0"    for Media Cache and Preview Files
Will the onboard Raid controller accommadate the above adequately?
    Graphics Card
I am looking at Nvidia as far as I can tell so that I may make use of the CUDA threads and as far as type I assume I pick the best one of the approved list (adobe approved list)? I am still confused ast to whether there is any benefit from a using a twin GPU card, its unclear to me whether the CUDA can tap into both of the GPU's on such a card? Of course budget restraint will come into play here.
     Ram
I am looking at 4 x 4gb dual channel Ram cards to give a total of 16Gb total (DDR 3) as for brands, types and frequencies I have no idea yet and need to cover off some of the above first before my research gets too wide?
     PSU and Case
I am hoping for a modular device for this, however I was thinking this and the case are a low priority at this stage (until some of the other solutions are verified).
     Blur Ray writer /reader
With me using my NAS for media streaming I will not be burngin to many Blu ray disks, however I will be reading a few so that I can upload them onto the NAS via this unit. I have no idea what is a good or bad unit or what to look for in this area?
     Monitor
I have found some cheap solutions in the 23" sizing for a main screen (~160 AUD) supported by my existing 17' monitor, however is there anything I should be looking for in particular with the monitor I choose?
I will update each section with what is decided on so that it may help others who are having the same tough decisions to make?
Even if we just tackle the Motherboard first I would be greatfull...
Thanks for reading and again all assistance is appreciated.
Regards
Jody

I am locked out of IMAP for want of a password and I don't know what password is required.

I had an unauthorized attempt to login to my Gmail account which was blocked. Gmail wanted me to change my Google password, which I did. Gmail now works fine, but Thunderbird now asks for:
"Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:" to which I have
1. Put in the new password several times and gets rejected each time, and
2. I deleted the old password, as well as the new password, that Thunderbird recorded, several times (The only way to change a password saved by the password manager is to delete it, get prompted for the new password the next time it needs it, and then tell it again to save that password. You can delete the password using Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Passwords -> View Saved Passwords by selecting the password and then pressing the Remove button). I have been prompted for the new
password.
I keep getting the generated tiny reply at the bottom right of my screen" Thunderbird Alert from account [email protected]: Application specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer=185833 (Failure).
This question is similar to the gentleman having problems in the Uk/Carribean, but Gmail did not generate me a new password, I did.
Any new suggestions welcome!

''""Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:"" ''
on imap & smtp servers:: Change user name from [email protected] to pvedxxxxx
Try another client. Perhaps [http://www.seamonkey-project.org SeaMonkey] (requires manual configuration of accounts).
Since this is IMAP your messages are stored on the server, so the following should not cause you to loose any e-mails. Try the following as a last resort.
Delete the account from Thunderbird and then add it; starting over from scratch.

For BSID- Accounting Document Number corresponding PO Number is required

Hi Gurus,
             I have got a requirement to develop a report similiar to 'FBL5N' . I am getting the details of open and cleared items of a customer from BSID and BSAD tables respectively. My requirement is also to fetch the corresponding PO number of the LINE items displayed in the report.
            Can any one suggest how can I fetch PO number with Accounting document number(BSID-BELNR) or (BSAD-BELNR).
           Your efforts in this matter are deeply appreciated and <<removed_by_moderator>>.
Thanking You,
ZIa.

If you have fields BSID-VBEL2 and BSID-VPOS2 are populated with the sales order, than access VBKD with the Sales Order to get the Customer PO (VBKD-BSTKD)
Or
First, You need to get the Billing document. Access BKPF with the BSID-BELNR to get the AWKEY where AWTYP = 'VBRK'
Now, you can go to SD document flow with the billing document to find out the Sales Document. Access VBKD with the Sales document to get the Customer PO

Is Excise Invoice required a Service

Dear All,
We are preparing Sales order for "Services".
With reference to the sales order. we are generating Billing Document.
But, when I am trying to create "Excise invoice" (J1IIN), it says "Reference document of 12193268 is not delivery document". Error message number is 8I68.
Kindly clarify whether "Excise invoice" is required for "Services"
Regards,
Mullairaja

Kindly clarify whether "Excise invoice" is required for "Services"
No. Only if any product physically moves out of a manufacturing industry, an excise invoice is required. For service, you should levy service tax.
