Routing Process in Change Number !

Hi Folks,
I am new to the PP module.So, I want know what is Routing ? How it can be created ?
And what all the dependencies one has to look for while creating ?
At the same time I have one issue regarding CN (Change Number ).
1. My Client is having one CN with the N number of routings associated with it.
2. I want to change effectivity of one routing among these N to current date.
3. Also I want to change another routing effectivity among these N to specific date.
4. After doing 2 & 3 I am updating the CN i.e. Change Number.
But when I update the CN all the other routings are also getting updated, which i do not want to happen.If I do not update the CN , changes made to the routings are not getting updated.
So, if any one has a answer for the above , please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
R V Kulkarni.

hi,
Routing is one of the master data used in PP module.

PI 7.31 (single stack) posting RFC gives this error: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: Processing of change number CO-01234 cancelled (raised by system ECCHostXYZ)

I'm trying to determine if I am dealing with an RFC connection issue or just an error resulting from the RFC itself.
The error says "Processing of change number...cancelled (raised by...ECCHostXYZ)".
I thought this was a problem with my RFC config because it is labeled as "RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE".
However, when I google that specific message, it appears to be an error specific to change order creation.
Here’s my google search: http://goo.gl/ZhKsm3
Here is the error again:
RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: Processing of change number CO-01234 cancelled (raised by system ED1|ecc-host-xyz)
When I check ST22, I see no RFC errors.

Hi Jody,
No st22 exception is needed to be throwed in order to raise a controlled exception in the RFC.
You would need to check the RFC in the ECC system with the data that you are sending from PI, if the data is the same, you would need to check PI user RFC roles with the ECC roles user that you used to check the data integrity in the ECC test.
To avoid this error you can do a Z RFC to wrap the standard RFC and to control the exceptions errors with a BAPIRET2 strucutre to return to PI.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Restricting Change of Routing without a Change Number

Hi Techies,
In BOM we can restrict the change of a BOM which is already changed by a change number. Is there a same way using which we can restrict the change of a routing which we have changed once with a change number. The client does not want any engineers to change it without a change number.
Can you please advice on this.?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Kris.S

Hi Techies,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the setting in OP5A. I was able to make the field for change number mandatory. But i want to make it mandatory only after a Routing is changed with a change number.
Until then i don need to make it mandatory for history requirements.
Is this possible just like assing the field C_STUE_NOH to the Routing transaction and making it No (") and mandatory for changing routing with the change number?
Is this possible?
Thanking you in advance.

Change Number and Process Route

Hi Experts,
I have seen in the Change Master Web-UI is a register for Process Route.
When I'm trying to create a Process Route, the Activities are missing.
Where is the customizing to set Process Route Activities for the Change Master?
And where is the customizing to create the event to start the Process Route?
I have allready done some customizing for the SAP Case Management and the Engineering Record.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Thomas

To customize process route to the change number in the Web-UI the following steps has to be done:
Create Activities
To create activities use TA SRMCUSTOMIZING: Records Management --> Customizing for Process Route --> Create or Change Activities and Activity Functions
Create new entries depending on ECN_DIS
Define Activities for GOS-Objects
To define activities for GOS-Objects use TA SPRO: SAP Customizing Implementation Guide --> Logistics - General --> Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) --> PLM Web User Interface --> Objects in PLM Web UI --> Process Route --> Define Activities for GOS Objects for Process Routes
Create new entries depending on the activities created before and for the Object Type PLM_ECN
Check Agent Assignment for all created Standard Tasks
Now it is prossilbe to add steps to the process route to a change number.
To start the workflow the following steps has to be done:
Define Type Linkages for Workflow
TA SWETYPV - Type linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: START_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Define Instance Linkages for Workflow
TA SWEINST - Instance linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: STOP_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_COMP_EVENT_RECEIVE_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Thanks for your help

Change number mandatory Routing for a particular Plant

Dear All,
i have requirement to make change no field mandatory for only one plant. this field should not be mandatory for other plant. I tried with OP5A tcode, using plant as influencing field, change no as modified field and content as plant no. so its working but,
it doesnt work for the 1st time execution. from 2nd time only its working. like this user will be able to make the changes without change number in every login 1st time.
So i set the plant as user parameter in user profile and made it working. but its not full proof soluton. can any one suggest some solution??
please suggest.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Santosh
The change number requirements on CS02 is controlled by the authorization object C_STUE_ROH.
Note 420878 provides more information about this scenario.
Check the relevant information provided on the note below:
Symptom
In Customizing of the BOM, the history requirement is set or a BOM requires a history. Despite this, it is possible to process BOMS without engineering change management. The system only processes a warning message (29 045) which can be skipped.
Additional key words
CS02, change number, OS27, W045(29)
Cause and prerequisites
Authorization profile
Solution
Check the authorization profile of the respective user.
Example:
         C_STUE_NOH <OBJ>
            &_SAP_ALL    <AUT>
                NOHIS      <FLD>
would have the authorization to process BOMs requiring history without a change number. In this case, if you change '*' to ' ' in NOHIS, you will no longer receive a warning, but rather an error message.

Cancel ECN in BOM & remove change number in Routing

Dear Gurus,
I have 2 questions about ECN , pls. help .
1> If we made a wrong ECN in BOM with change number, pls. advise how to cancel this ECN in BOM.I tried to delete the change record in CC02 but it's not allowed since BOM has been changed already.If I made a new change in BOM with new change number, in BOM it will show a new change number, but I don't want to show these change numbers because it should be no changes happen, pls. advise how to recall the change and remove the change number in BOM .
2> We use change number when we change routing ( CA02) in the past, now due to some internal issue, we want to remove all change numbers in routing, I can't find any option in CC02 or CA02, pls. advise is it possible to remove existing change number?
Thanks & best regards,
Tina

Dear Tina,
In my understanding you may not be able to delete the change number assignment made in BOM or routing.
But you can define an alternative date for the made changes and set the valid from date as say 31.12.5555.
Check and revert.

Change number mandatory for display routing

Hello friends,
Through OP5A I hade made the change number field mandatory for routing.
System ask for change number while changing or creating the routing.
But my question is system should not ask for change number during display routing. ( If a item had gone through many changes during a period. By default system should take latest only)
Is there any way? or some development is required
Thanks in advance
Maruti

Hi,
This requirement is genuine but liitle tricky..
Follow th procedure as below:
in OP5A:
1. Double click on PP Task Lists. Do not select the Change Number mandatory there.
2. Click on Influencing Button
3. Double click on Transaction Code:
Here, select the "Change No." as required and in the Contents filed, put CA01 and Pres Enter.
Afterwards put CA02 and Press enter.
4. Now Press on Influences Button.
Here you can see that the Transaction Code - Change number is mandatory for CA01 and CA02.
But not for CA03
Remeber to press enter after inputing the Transaction codes, otherwise those will not apper in influences..
Try this revert for further discussion.
Regards,
Siva

Cancel Change Number control in material master routing maintance?

Dear expert
In our company, we have PLM function and must enter change number in material master and routing screen
MM01/MM02 CA01/CA02,could I cancel this control and where is the configuration path in SPRO?
Thanks
Linfeng

Kindly check in OS54.
Under Revision Level, unselect the check box Rev. Level active. If you want that automatic, you can go for Rev. Lev. Automatic. Before doing any changes in config, please explore pros & cons of the same.
For routing, in OP5A, set the field selection as Change Number - Input

Routing - Change Number field as a optional Field

Hello PP members:
When Creating a routing, the system considers CHANGE NUMBER as a must enter field ( how
to make as an optional field )
What is the transaction in SPRO where I can change the settings
Thanks In Advance

hi
try from OP5A, there you need to select the change number as requred,
you get the settings in Field selection: Task list overview>PP task lists: initial screen->change number req -

BOM mapping with change number error during IDoc process

Hi all,
i am creating BOM using IDoc BOMMAT04.i have checked this IDoc will use FM IDOC_INPUT_BOMMAT inside.
in this function module, it is using FM CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE and CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN to create and change.
currently, creation and deletion is success. but when change, if the change number passed as an input parameter, the IDoc process error saying that the BOM header not allowed to update for read-only field.
if i not pass the change number, the change will be success, but no change number displayed in the item. that is not the user expected.
and if i delete the bom with change number, create a new BOM for the same material is not aloowed, saying that BOM already existing.
it seems that CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE and CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN cannot support much. it is limited.
can anyone have any good solutions? thanks!

yeah, for the change, i have solved it.
but currently, if i delete the existing BOM with a change number, the re-creation is not allowed by the IDoc saying that the BOM already existing.
if i delete in CS02 without change number, it deleted from DB and can be re-create.
but if delete in IDoc without change number, it failed saying that local BOM can not be deleted by ALE.
do you have any solution? i want to implment in IDoc: delete existing BOM and create a new one for the same material with change number. (currently the standard IDoc FM not support BOM group)

Change process order range number

I was requested to change the current process order range number.
Could you give some information about this?
Pros/Cons?
Thanks,
Gerardo

The Process order number range is maintained in tcode : CO82.
Typically you change number range for various reasons like
1. External number range required
2. New order type created & new number range required for Rework orders
3. Tracking certain special orders with different no range for differenciation & easy visibilty
4. Specail no range reqd due to limitation of External System that is interfaced with SAP
5. Different no range required for collective orders, MTO, M to stock orders etc...
These are some of the reasons I can recollect from my experience.
This you may take as the PROS.
As far as CONS :
1. Good communication with user group needed before number range change
2. As with any configuration change, Regression testing needed by users/ business groups before configs move to Production
this is my 2 cents...
hope this helps. More questions? please come back
thanks,
Ram

Edit or Change a Change Number in BOM

Good Day
Dear All
Please can anyone can tell me is any process is there to Edit or change the CHANGE NO in BOM

Hi Radhakrishna,
Masters like BOM and Routing can be created and changed with change number. Accordingly changes can be tracked with respect to the change numbers. For Eg BOM created wit hqty 10 with change number X , then BOM changed to 12 with change number Y, then system will display the reports on BOM changes with respect to change numbers. Historial data you can track.
You can create new change number in CC01 with different validity date and make changes to BOM. You cannot edit the change number once its is created.
Have a look on the below doc posted by me on usage of revision level with change numbers.
Usage of Revision Level for PP Masters -BOM and Routing

Mass change of Recipe with Change Number for Future

Hi ,
I would like to do a Mass change of Recipes with Change Number for Future Plan,
is there any way I can do that? or Transaction where I can get that info as I have to do it for lot of recipes,
Regards,
Paartha

Rajesha,
MM12 will get the change Number From CC01, where we define the Change Number for various things Like Mat master, BOM, Document etc,But I would like to Provude the ECN number when ever I change for example MM12(Mat master), CS02(BOM),CA02(ROUTING),C201(RECIPE), every time I can enter the same ECN number obtained from CC01 create change Master,you can see ECN number field on C202 screen also,
so Now I would like to change Recipes by giving this ECN number for Mass change of one Filed called LAbor Hours inside C201,
is there any way I can do mass change instead(avoid) of Process ,,,,,,,,, go to C201 -enter ECN number--go in side change Labor hours for each and every recipe .
Hope you understood,,, Looking for Reply from you and SDN Gurus

Error while changing BOM with change number

Hi ALL, Please help me with followed error message, I am using ECM. I created ECR and converted to ECO and then released.
Object management record cannot be generated
Message no. 29046
Diagnosis
You want to change the BOM with the entered change number.
One of the following situations triggered this error message:
1. The indicator that allows automatic generation is not set for object type BOM in the change master.
2. The indicator generation only on initial creation is set for object type BOM
3. You are processing a change request.
System response
The system checks whether the indicator object management record will be generated is set in the change master.
If the indicator generation only on initial creation is set, the system checks whether the BOM exists in the system.
Procedure
If you are authorized to change the change master, execute the following steps:
For 1.)
Set this indicator for object type BOM or create the control record in the change master.
For 2.)
If the BOM already exists in the system and the generation only on initial creation indicator is set, the system can no longer generate the control record automatically.
In this case you have to add the object control record to the change master first, then you can change the BOM in relation to the change number.
For 3.)
You cannot generate any object control records for a change request.

Hi
With your question regarding changing BOM with change number it looks lke there may be problem in defining the Object types,objects.Moreover whenever converted to ECO you need to enter into cs02 tcode for changing the bom with relevant change number and valid from date.
Hope this gives you a clear idea.let me know if you need anyfurther inputs.

Praveen

Change the validity date in change number

hi team,
I want to change the validity date of a change number from 01.01.09 to 01.03.09. I am getting an error "A BOM has already been changed using a change number with the same valid-from date as the selected date 03.01.2009". I can change the date to before 01.01.09 but cannot after 01.01.09.
Can you please help me.
thank you,
Satish

Dear Mamiditi Satish Kumar,
Is it a change number with release key or without release key?
Do you want to assign a different validity date for the changes made using that change number?
Try using alternative date field in CC02.and you have to select the object to assign the alternative date.
Say if you want to assign an alternative date for a processed BOM,you have to select that object and
enter the alternative date.
