Risks/Consequences Associated with changing short text in BS22

Hi,
I need to change the short text of some status of the TJ02T table (i.e. I need to change the short description of status I0098 from CRT to CREA).
Someone can tell me if there are risks or contraindications associated with this change in BS22?
Thanks
Elisa

Elisa
In my ECC6 system I0098 is already CRTE...
My personal opinion is that this is a user-training issue and BS22 should stay standard..
There is a user-exit which manipulates the text on the status in an object (order, notif, etc) without changing BS22.

Risks associated with changing to new Plant Calendar assigned in OX10

Our site is considering changing the factor calendar from 5 days a week to 7 days a week in OX10 for the plant. We curently use all supply chain modules and otc. Can anyone tell me the warnings/risks associated with doing this?
Thank you.

Hello,
Orders for Production , Maintenance, Deliveries, Transfer Order etc. are created according to the factory calendar .
You must be sure that all operations can be carried out in the seven days of the week (e.g. deliveries), because SAP can be scheduling aTransfer Order for a Sunday and somebody can be calling you for fixing the issue!
The normal case is that some operations can take place in the weekend (Production, Maintenance) but other Logistic Operations ( Deliveries) are done only from Mo to Fr. If this is your case, I would create an additional seven days calendar and assign it to the work centers in Production and maintenance, but the Plant would remain linked to the old five days calendar
Hope this can solve your issue.

Avoid users can change Short Text of Material Id in Purchase Requisitions

Hi
We have a problem with purchase requisitions.
Users create a purchase requisition. In the field material, type the ID of the Material but then, change the description in Short Text, for example Material 1000 is a Bearing, and the user can change this description for Nut for example, causing problems and confusion in the following steps.
We want that if the user use Material ID can´t change the Short Text
Thank You very much
Sergio

Hi,
You can control this via tcode OLME. go to Purchase Requisitions and then 'Define Screen Layout at Document Level'. Select appropriate field selection key (NBB if using standard one), go to basic data, item and maintain required settings.

Service order with blank short text

Hi all,
In my case Service orders are getting generated from sales order and the short text of the service order is the material description in the sales order line item.This is the standard behaviour.
Now the client wants short text should be blank and they will key in the text later.Means order has be created with no data in short text.
I have tested with exit IWO10009 and its not catering my needs.Is there is any other exit which whips the data in the shorttext while saving of the order.

Service short text

Hello,
We are having the following issue, hope you can help me.
We need to save the short text of a service in different languages English and Spanish, and we are login into SAP in both languages.
First we log in SAP in Spanish and execute a Z program that creates and changes services (the Z program uses a CALL TRANSACTION for transaction AC02). This is working fine but when we log on to SAP in English and execute the Z program,the transaction AC02 (in batch input mode) doesn't save the short text of the service in english as we expect, what happens is that the short text in the original language gets changed. Looking on the table ASMDT we see two entries for the service that we wanted to change. One empty with the field spras with an 'E', and one filled with the short text in english but with the spras field with a 'S'.
What could be happening ?
Best Regards,
Jesus

Dear Jesus,
The table ASMDT should actually hold values for multiple languages. I have seen in my system, it does hold values for multiple languages.
Check if you are passing language dynamically based on the logon language.
The key for table ASMDT is Activity Number along with Language Key which means that it should hold one record each for every language.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Change the Text for a Perspective in Balance Scorecard

I am trying to change "Short Text" and "Long Text" for an existing perspective in our Strategy Management system [SEM-BW 6.0 and BI 7.0]. I get the following error "Invalid call sequence for interfaces when recording changes". I have looked up OSS and found 533611 to be relevant, but it is for SEM-BW 3.1B and we are on 6.0. Does anyone else have this problem?
Detailed "Long Text" for the error:
Message no. TK425
Diagnosis
The function you selected uses interfaces to record changes made to your objects in requests and tasks.
Before you save the changes, a check needs to be carried out to establish whether the objects may be changed. This check must be performed before you begin to make changes.
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
The function you have used must correct the two Transport Organizer interfaces required. Contact your system administrator.

Hello Arun,
U could do the translation in Tcode Se63.
U follow the procedure
Translation >Shorttext>Screen Painter--> Screen Painter Text.
There u will see the all the text use for that transaction.
You can make the traslation there.
If useful reward.

How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com). Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account. If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID, it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address.
How do I:
1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one.

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

PR TO PO "SHORT TEXT" CHANGED IN PO ERROR MSG

Sir,
while making po with pr for short text if user changes the PR short text description in PO
error message should be issued
ply help
regards
amey

In standard SAP you can set the configuration to issue a message if the PR is different than the PO.
Examples
055   Purchase requisition &, item &, not released for ordering
056   Purchase requisition &, item &, has a different material number
057   Purchase requisition &, item &, has a different plant
058   Purchase requisition &, item &, has a different supplying plant
059   Purchase requisition &, item &, has different account assignment category
068   Requisition & item & has different purchasing group
076   Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full
However, if there is no material master involved and the text is altered from PR to PO during PO creation, there is very little that can be done. You may be able to check this with some customer exit, but I do not normally use them. Hopefully someone with customer exit knowledge can advise you in that area.
Regards

Impact of changing positions and Org Unit short text

Hi All..
This is regarding the impact of changing positions and Org Unit short text(SAP name - Object Abbreviation, technical field u2013 hrp1000-short).The new approach we are ging to have is to keep short text same across the business unit.
Example:
All position in US will have short text u2013 USS
Similarly All US Org Unit short text will be COMUS
I was wondering, from SAP best practices point of view, do you see any downside in this approach?
Example: Any problem in searching position or org using search term.
Please pin your thoughts...
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
Normally such change will not have any impact in PA module.
Only in exceptional cases it will have an impact in following cases:
1. First and mandatory condition that you use abbreviation as position name in IT 0001. If this is the case parameter PLOGI TEXTC (in table T77S0) should be equal X.
2. Second condition is that parameter PLOGI SPLIT is equal to X. That means that change of object name will lead to record split in IT 0001 in PA.
So if in table T77S0 you don't have setting PLOGI TEXTC = X and PLOGI SPLIT = X you can go ahead with change of positions abbreviations. It will have no impact on other modules.
Cheers!

CUP 5.3 is coming back with all risks associated with a user

HI, i know this has probably come up in the past but i'm not finding it anywhere in the forum. we are having a problem with CUP 5.3 provisioning as it's bringing up all risks associated with a user rather than the new ones for the role being requested. this is especially aggravating for roles that do not have a conflict. i'm thinking this might be a very simple answer but i'm not finding it anywhere.
thanks
ryan

Ryan,
Excuse me for the link. the problem was because a 'P' at the end
This is the correct one: Did CUP risk analysis change with SP7?
And, as per my knodelge, There's no way to show only the "new risks" in CUP risk analysis.
If you want to use GRC succesfully, first you have to "get clean". Check here (Note 1593056 - Best Practices for Remediation of
Segregation of Duties risk):
The Risk Analysis and Remediation (RAR) application is part of the "Get Clean" methodology which is at the core of GRC Access Control. The first step of any Access Control project should be to "Get Clean" of any segregation of duties violations through the use of RAR. Once clean, Compliant User Provisioning, Enterprise Role Management and SuperUser Privilege Management are tools used to "Stay Clean".
If you've already identified the risk, mitigate them. This is the best practise. I undertand your problem, but until you finish the "clean procedure" you should use an alternative workflow for CUP.
Cheers,
Diego.

Risks associated with database refresh.

Hi experts,
I need to clarify a doubt .I have a cloned SAP BW system (from another system i.e SAn to SAN copy)and then after few months after the first clone I need to refresh the database(Oracle 10 G).The reason being I will have some changes in data at the source system from where it was copied earlier.I shall be applying the application changes by tracking the transport requests(from the original system).
I need to clarify if we don't refresh the whole system again by SAN to SAN copy and then do a database refresh will there be any problem .Is there any risk associated with it.
Will the requests be available to me on the monitor with the new data or there will be some issues.
A quick response shall be very useful.

Assign focus on text field associated with tree item in edit mode

The JavaFX home page has an example for how to edit the label associated with a tree item using a cell factory (see sample code below). However, if you select a tree item and then either mouse click or select the Enter key to start editing, the text field doesn't get focus even though the startEdit() method invokes textField.selectAll(). I tried invoking textField.requestFocus(), but that didn't work. Is there a way to ensure that the text field gets focus when the tree item is in edit mode?
I'm using JavaFX 2.1 GA version on Windows 7.
Thanks.

When you click on a selected tree item to start the edit process is the text in the text field selected? In my case the text is not selected and the focus is not on the text field so I have to click in the text field before I can make a change, which makes it seem as if the method call textfield.selectAll() is ignored or something else gets focus after method startEdit() executes.

Short Text in PO change History

Hi Experts,
I am developing a report for changes in PO History.
I have fetched each and every field except the the field for short text
The way to see the PO history change is
Tcode: ME23n
Select any item from item details, and follow the path in menu bar Environment-->Item Changes.
A new window will get open.
There the third field is of short text description. I want this field.
Plz tell me the table nameu2026
hav a gr8 day ahead..
Regards,
Apoorv sharma

Hi Apoorva,
To get short text, you have to get the fieldname and tablename and that you can get from CDPOS. After getting that :
1.Pass Table name and fieldname to DD03L table and get field value of fieldname 'ROLLNAME'.
2.Pass this value to table DD04T and get field DDTEXT.
For example, you want to get the short text and Table name has EKPO and fieldname has MENGE. Then once you pass field name MENGE and table name EKPO to table DD03L, then you will get field DD03L-ROLLNAME as BSTMG.With DD03L-ROLLNAME as BSTMG pass to table DD04T and get field DDTEXT, you will get Purchase Order Quantity.
Thanks & Regards,
Faheem.

Changing message text for short dumps

Hi, we have users running open transactions and finally core dumps with message:
TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED
Short text
    No more storage space available for extending an internal table.
What happened?
    You attempted to extend an internal table, but the required space was
    not available.
Is there a way to customize the message a bit to give more helpful information?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Jonathan,
I am not an expert in BASIS, so I cannot say if it is possible to change the texts for these messages. I am a bit surprised that you think " No more storage space available for extending an internal table" is not adequate. In addition, I am a more than a bit surprised that you are implicitly expecting to get dumps, so much so that you want to make the messages more user-friendly.
Runtime errors are not a tool to remind users that they have performed an impermissable activity. When a dump occurs, you pray that SAP will properly roll back all data to a consistant, pre-error state. I assure you, that this will not always happen in a complex environment. A runtime error is normally considered a very serious event. In most companies, it is the goal to never have a runtime error, and someone is usually charged with running these down and eliminating them. And that 'someone' is not a user.
Anyhow, you might want to try one of the many ABAP forums, one of the experts there may be able to assist you in changing these texts.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance,
DB49
