SAP AII for production process

Hello,
I'm an ABAP programmer but I have to find some information (integration scenario example) about using RFID for managing a production process with SAP.
I found only for SCM:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_autoid40/helpdata/en/43/ec3b1c601f6bf1e10000000a11466f/content.htm
Is it posible to manage a production process with SAP's AII <-> XI <-> ERP like it can be done for SCM?
Thanks.
Traian

Hi Mustata,
   Yes it is very much possible to RFID enable the SAP R/3 Production process.
   AII 4.0 supported out of the box execution of Outbound delivery process and Inbound Delivery process.
   The configuration guide for same are available at this link http://service.sap.com/scm
    you can get the config guide in detailed information of RFID under SCM.
   Now answer to your question SAP AII for production process.
   AII 5.1 supports creation on new document in AII. Also the documents from backend system SAP R/3 sent to AII via XI with the help of standard document interface.
The documents related to production process can be then executed in AII with the help of RFID and after document execution in AII, if required, the document data can be sent to SAP R/3 for completion of the document in backend system.
Hope this answers your query. Do read the configuration guides.
If same process needs to be done in AII 4.0 then customisation will be need to implement the production process integration.
Thanks and regards,
Amit Deshpande

Taking the Customer Components inside plant for Production process

Hi All,
I have got one Businee Scenario for i need to map in SAP.
Scenario: Customer is sending the Components for making the finished goods. In this case Business will be using the customeru2019s components for production process.
Now, How to take the components inside the plant for the Production Processing
In this below points needs to be consider:
1.     Components Stock should be Stock of this Production Plant
2.     Components valuation should not effected of production Plant
3.     These components should be used for the Production
Please suggest the Suitable Process in SAP.
Regards
Vinay

Try this..
You can have the BOM of the Finl material with the customers materials as the COMPONENTS...
Then in cs02 ,double click the item numbers (components) and uncheck the costing relevency indicator..
This will make the accountability in stock and not in valuation..
hope this helps..

Intigrating SAP and Non-SAP system for recruitment process

Hi All,
Our Client has a requirement which is related to Recruitment.The requirement is that the employee resumes ,photos and credentils are stored in legacy system.The shortlisted resumes sud be transferred into SAP and the hiring process sud be done in SAP.After the hiring process , the status of the applicants sud be triggered in the legacy system and not in the SAP system.
Is there any Standard BAPI's for this requirement. Any Workflow is involved in this requirement.
As a HR Abaper i need to give the complete technical details for this requirement. Pls advice me on this .This is very urjent.
Points will be awarded.
Many Thanks,
Chakradhar Maddina

what is this 3rd party application?
if anyways they are using SAP for masterdata, why dont they use the same for applicant data?
ok for whatever the reason they have decided that..only way looks like is to do it manually,
create a bdc/lsmw for the hiring process and let them use it regularly for hiring all the selected applicants in a single go.
as for updating their system with the updated status, again i think they should do it manually.or maybe if their legacy system allows mass data update/chages.
becoz you do the creation of BDC/LSMW only once not everytime you want to hire.. i think its an easir process. also wait for other experts to give their feed back you may get some valuable info.
hope it helps

DRQ: Different default warehouse for Sales,Purchase and Production Process

Hi Experts,
In my recent Implementation Project I realised that there should be provision of capturing and using different default warehouse for Sales,Purchase and Production.
For example in manufacturing company
1. Default ware house for Purchase process should be QC ware house for raw material.
2. Default ware house for Production process should be RM ware house for raw material (components).
3. Default ware house for Production process should be QC ware house for Finished Good (Parent Item).
4. Default ware house for Sales process should be FG ware house for Finished Good (Parent Item).
I hope the idea is clear, I am looking for 3 different set as default warehouse for each item in Item master Inventory tab.
Internally when a user create a document than default warehouse is to be picked up from this setting !
Best Regards,
Samir Gandhi

Hi !
I guess the indicator "Exclusive" in the accessess of the access sequence can meet the requirement if I have note misunderstood the issue.
Press : F1 help on Exclusive Indicator -
Indicator: Exclusive condition access
Controls whether the system stops searching for a record after the first successful access for a condition type within an access sequence.
Thanks & Regards

Need of SAP AII

Hello,
we have already implemented WM. We want to use now RFID. During the picking (with RF), we want to put a tag on small bags. These small bags are packed in boxes that have also tag. Then the boxes are put on a pallet.We need to keep the information that the RFID of the bags are packed in which box(RFID) and in which pallet. How can we do that ? When the pallet go out from the warehouse through a gate reader, the system will make a check that all the RFID packed during the picking are on the pallet. For this process do we need to have SAP AII ?
The same question( do we need to have SAP AII.) for a second process: the pallets arrive at the store. A worker with mobile scanner will scan the pallet and the system will make a check that all the RFID that left the warehouse are arrived at the store.
How can we do it technically
Thank you for your answers and your help.
Christophe

Hi ,
yes , you need to implement SAP AII for meeting above mentioned two business requirements.
Business requirements:
1) Need to save relationship between child and parent objects (bags and boxes ) , SAP AII saves this information as a "packaging heirarachy"
2) Automatically verifying the shipped pallets/boxes/bags while receiving at the store , SAP AII supports this business process wherein, after processing outbound delivery ,it can trigger business process in SAP XI where all the ids (EPCs) are added to create ASN document , against this ASN document you can process inbound delivery at the customer end and hence verify the shipped materials while receiving.

Middleware - SAP AII

Hi RFID Friends,
i found many informations about SAP AII and RFID Tech. in this , but nothing to a Middleware, witch is essentail for comm. between RFID hardware and SAP. help.sap.com is like a cloesed book in this case. I read about BizTalk or Websphere, XI... but all those are to much for an Small Business case. it's unclear for me:
1. What SAP AII need to get DATA from an Reader. What is the simply and cheap way?
2. Because AII is an standalone System, is XI neccecery to get this Information from AII into SAP ERP?
Can you help me please.
Thank you all
Bülent

Hi Bullent,
You were correct in not finding out any information on RFID Middleware on help.sap.com.
This is because SAP is not involved in that business at all. Instead SAP depends upon its partners to deliver RFID middleware solutions. For eg, Biztalk from Microsoft, IBM middleware and PIXIE from Infosys technologies Ltd are such examples. SAP AII exposes an interface which the middleware development team has to comply with. Then there is also a SAP Certification process for Device middlewares that support communication with SAP AII.
SAP similarly also depends upon its partners for RFID hardware also. For. Zebra, Motorola are some of the RFID hardware that are compliant with SAP AII for mobile devices.
Answer to your questions:
1) SAP AII can get whatever data is written on the tags. It depends on your business requirement what data is needed by you on the tags. There is no simple or cheap way. There are two ways.
a) Fixed Readers: Require RFID middleware between hardware and SAP AII
b) Mobile Readers: Can be directly supported by SAP AII witout device middleware. (So this can be cheaper )
2) Yes SAP XI is necessary to send data to SAP ERP. Else it will require huge custom abap development to support this.
I hope i have answered your questions. Thnks

Hi,
Below process steps would help you.
Configure seperate storage location for customer materials which is not relevant to MRP. Receive Customer material with (101) or without (502) the purchase order. Maintain the material master with "S" standard price 0.01 so the iventory at the plant will always show minimum. Dont know HERS material type would be helpful to you.
Configure seperate movement type (261 to xyz) to issue the customer material into production process. The new movement type will help track the goods issues and goods receipts for customer materials.
I have following questions on your scenario:
(1) Would the customer material cost to be added to your finished prouct?
(2) Do you wanted to have the MRP for customer materials?
(3) Do you process customer material at the plant or JUST use them as it is?
Above questions will little change the process steps but overall it'll work.
Best regards

To restrict Issue for production than planned qty in production order

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, the production staff will prepare production order and right click in production order document and select "Issue Components" option to Issue raw materials for production floor. After issuing the raw materials to production floor closes the "Issue for Production" document and now we have "Production Order" document open in screen. When he again select "Issue Components" option and issues the raw materials once again. Materials are issued once again wrongly. This happens since the production order document is not getting refresh after "Issue for Production" document is done.
Is there any way to restrict issue of raw materials than the planned qty.?
I have tried lot of ways to restrict this through SP. Please revert me an solution to this issue.
The procedure should trigger immediately when the "Issue Components" option is selected second time (If the raw materials are issued in full in first time itself). And it should allow only the qty which is to issued to production order qty (if they issue part issue to production order)
Thanks in advance
Raja.S

Hi Neetu,
Thanks for your quick response. I have tried this query. But it is not blocking the issue for production document even the raw materials are issued already for the production order.
I'll explain my work flow again. The Production staff will prepare production order and then release the same and update the production order after changing the status for "Release". Then he will right click the Mouse button and select "Issue Components" option and perform the Issue for Production process. He will issue the required raw material completely in one shot and add the Issue for Production document.
After adding the Issue for Production document he will close that document and now we will be in Production order document. Now our production order document will not get refreshed. Now the Production staff go for "Issue components" option, then it should not allow him to issue the components once again. But it is allowing him to issue components any number of times. there is no control.
If we browse the production order document to previous record and browse back to the same record then my Production order document get refreshed and now we can control the issue. But what should i do to control in the earlier case. Since they want to perfrom lot of production order, there is a chance to issue components for same production order more than one time before the production order document get refreshed.
Please provide me the SP to control this scenario.
Thanks in advance.

Accessing web services for leave process

Hi,
We are looking to make a webesrvice for the leave process in ESS.
1. Are there any standard webservices that SAP provides for this process in ECC6? If yes, how do i access them in the portal?(I am unable to find the services in SICF)
2. If there are no standard webservices then i would like to make the BAPI's that SAP uses in the standard ESS package in portal and make them as web services. When i try to make it as a web service i get a error that web service cannot be created. Any pointers to resolve this error?
3. Is there any standard URL that i can pass in the portal for a WSDL system and access all the webservices available in ECC6 through thus URL.(Something like a web service repository).
Thanks in advance,
Arun

Hi Anton,
Thanks a lot for you quick response. Thanks for the info while using a BAPI, will keep this in mind before we decide to use the BAPI. We are looking at the option of using Visual Composer for the development. We are triying to create the WSDL System as per you suggestion using the URL
http://<server>.<domain>:<httpport>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/webservicebrowser
But this system fails in the connection tests in the portal with the error message
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
Iam sure of the user mapping because when i connect with the URL
http://<server>.<domain>:<httpport>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/webservicebrowser/search.html i get a page that shows a huge list of services.
But how can i access all these services in Visual Composer through a single system created in the portal?
Thanks again

GR for Production order not possible with settlement receiver as IO

Hi
I have created a production order and the settlement rule is to an internal order. But it does not allow me to do goods receipt. Pl tell me what to do.
Thanks
kamala

Hi,
SAP recommands production order settlment to be beow object and additional CO Object COPA.
Settlement Receivers Depending on the Scenario
1.Make-to-stock production >>The make-to-stock inventory (receiver = material) >> COPA
2.Sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock>>The valuated sales order stock (receiver = material)>>COPA
3. Sales-order-related production with a nonvaluated sales order stock>>The sales order item (receiver = sales order)>>COPA
The scenario you are trying is doesn't fit into standard SAP framework for production order so please try said scenario with CO production order. Again CO production orders mostly recommondable without PP so figure out impact on cross modules.
Regards,Ashok.
