SAP best practise to use transportation component

Hi,
I need to know when should be the shipment created after delivery? When Shipment create for group of deliveries?
Indeed I would like to know the SAP best practices to use transportation component. Please forward if you have any related links which describe the SAP best practice to use transportation component.
Thanks,
Victor

Dear Victor,
The shipment document will be created after delivery creation but before Post Goods Issue(PGI).
When the deliveries belongs to the same route you can create shipment document for group of deliveries.
For more information go through this Help link it will help you,

Experiences on SAP Best Practise packages?

We are considering applying a specific SAP Best Practise package on top of ECC6. It will be a new ECC6 installation.
I have read the BP faq pages http://help.sap.com/bp_bw370/html/faq.htm and read note 1225909 - How to apply SAP Best Practices - and the specific note and the specific installation guide for required Best Practise package.
I understand that applying a BP package is something not that easy but should speed up the implementation process.
If you have been participating in a project that implemented SAP Best Practises on ERP, would you please share your experiences with me.
Here are some topics for discussion:
(BP=SAP Best Practise package)
BP implementation could make constraints to your future EHP or SP upgrades, while BP is tightly linked to certain EHP and SP-level?
SAP support?
Installation process including config steps according BP installation guide is longer than usual, while there can be multiple activation and configuration steps done by others than basis consultants?
BPs are country dependent. What if your application is used multinationally?
What if you later find BP unneccessary?
generate difficulties in the beginning but did considerably speed up reaching the final goal compared to ECC6 without BP.
traps to fall in?
typical issues that basis staff has to notify when preparing/installing a ERP system to be with BP?
positive/negative things
I am not saying above statements are true or false. Just wanted to charge you giving comments.

Hi,
Make sure your web service URL correct in Live Office connection and also in Xcelsius data manager.
Did you check all connection in refresh button proprties? you may try selecting "Refresh after component are Loaded" in Refresh button properties Behavior tab.
I think Xcelsius refresh are serial refresh so it may be possible that first component refresh is still in progress but you are expecting other component to refresh.
Click on "Enable Load Cursor" in data manager's Usage tab, it will give you visibility of refresh. If anything refreshing you will see hour glass.
Cheers

SAP BEST PRACTISE BI-Purchasing Volume Dashboard issue

Hello,
I am working on Purchasing Volume Dashboard (from SAP BEST PRACTISE BI package), I adapted Crystal Reports sources of this dashboard so that they connect to our local database and successfully generated the Export.xls, I Imported this Export.xls file into Purchasing Volume Dashboard.xls, added and configured Live Office Connections (ticking"Refresh before components are loaded" for each Live Connections.
The issue is that when I click on PREVIEW the four components (Charts and Scorecard) don't refresh simultaneously.
I have to click once on REFRESH button to have the first component refreshed with data then to click again to have the second component refreshed then click again and again !
I don't understand why those components don't refresh in the same time !!
Did one of you ever encountered this issue ?
many thanks for your help,

SAP Best Practises - Installation

Hello All,
I had installed SAP best Practises base line package SAP BP-ERP 617V6 in my system a couple of weeks back. But now when I am trying to activate the Best practises it is asking for the solution scope files and the installation text files. But when I am checking on Service market place , it seems SAP has with drawn the files for 617-V6 and has updated them with the latest files of 617-V7.
Now without these files I cannot proceed any further. And I have already activated the Business sets and Business Enterprise Functions in Client 000 and created a new client from 000.
In this regards can anyone advise what will be the best way forward. Can I upgrade my BP version BP-ERP 617-V7 now and proceed. Are there any special steps that I need to do for the BC sets which are already activated. I am guessing I will need to a client copy once again.
I also went through SAP Note 1301301 , Point IV , which talks about the upgrade of SAP BP package but it lacks clarity on the above points.
I have also raised a Customer message on this but will really appreciate your views in this regards.
Thanks

Hello Surajit Das,
In http://service.sap.com/swdc have you tried looking in Archive Area ?
SAP will generally hold the previous versions of software and components in the archive area for some time.

SAP Best Practise. Requirement for CERTIFICATES for products being sold

Hi All
Please share is there a SAP Best Practice for using CERTIFICATES in SAP?
There is a legal requirement in Russia for products being SOLD: if product is subject to cerification, then company is now allowed to sell such product if certicate is missing or expired.
- product should be blocked for sales order/ quoatation if mandatory ceriticate is missing or expired.
Is there a SAP Best Practice for this kind of process?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Andrey

Hi
I suppose this can be achieved through DMS (Document Mangament System).
You can customize the cross plant material master settings and link it to the DMS module.
The suggesstion I am givng is very high level, but it might help you to put your thoughts in that direction.

Hello Vasudevan,
Unzip the content of the Business Package zip file into some folder. While importing the business package, select the .pkg file in the unzipped folder. This solves your problem.

What is the SAP best practise

we are planning for new co.code, does it suggestable of using existing document types for various business processes like purchases, returns and stock transfers..etc or creating new document types.
plz suggest the best practise

hi
SAP Best practices are entirely different subject. your case is what is best suited for you and whether you can go with the existing document types of SAP. My reply will be it all depends upon your processes you have already and how you wish to take forward. As fas as document types are concerned unless it is specifically required to differentitate betwen different activites one must go with standards for example IMPORT and DOMESTIC POs , you should have two different document types, like wise.. or else it is better to go with standrads.

Basics: Best practise when using a thesaurus?

Hi all,
I currently use a function which returns info for a search on our website, the function is used by the java code to return hits:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_product_search(v_search_string IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN TYPES.ref_cursor
AS
wildcard_search_string VARCHAR2(100);
search_results TYPES.ref_cursor;
BEGIN
OPEN search_results FOR
SELECT
          DCS_PRODUCT.product_id,
          DCS_CATEGORY.category_id,
          hazardous,
          direct_delivery,
          standard_delivery,
          DCS_CATEGORY.short_name,
          priority
          FROM
          DCS_CATEGORY,
          DCS_PRODUCT,
          SCS_CAT_CHLDPRD
          WHERE
          NOT DCS_PRODUCT.display_on_web = 'HIDE'
          AND ( contains(DCS_PRODUCT.search_terms, v_search_string, 0) > 0)
          AND SCS_CAT_CHLDPRD.child_prd_id = DCS_PRODUCT.product_id
          AND DCS_CATEGORY.category_id = SCS_CAT_CHLDPRD.category_id
          ORDER BY SCORE(0) DESC,
          SCS_CAT_CHLDPRD.priority DESC,
          DCS_PRODUCT.display_name;
RETURN search_results;
END;
I want to develop this function so that is will use a thesaurus in case of no data found.
I have been trying to find any documentation that might discuss 'best practise' for this type of query.
I am not sure if I should just include the SYN call in this code directly or whether the use of the thesaurus should be restricted so that it is only used in circumstances where the existing fuction does not return a hit against the search.
I want to keep overheads and respose times to an absolute minimum.
Does anyone know the best logic to use for this?

Hi.
You want so much ("... absolute minimum for responce time...") from OracleText on 9.2.x.x.
First, text queries on 9.2 is so slowly than on 10.x . Second - this is bad idea - trying to call query expansion functions directly from application.
My own expirience:
The best practise with thesauri usage is:
1. Write a good searcg string parser which add thes expansion function (like NT,BT,RT,SYN...) directly in result string passed through to DRG engine.
2. Use effective text queries: do not use direct or indirect sorts (hint DOMAIN_INDEX_NO_SORT can help).
3. Finally - write effective application code. Code you show is inefficient.
Hope this helps.

Problem in installing SAP best practises.

Hi,
We are trying to install SAP Best Practices Profeesional Sevrices (version1.500) But we are facing the problem of version incompatability as our SAP product is SAP ECC 6.0 the CD we received is (version 1.500).
ERROR IS: component SAP_ABA sys. rel(700) is different from from the required release(640).
Does SAP ECC 6.0 supports SAP Best Practices Profeesional Services (version1.500) or not ?
or we have to go with SAP Best Practices Profeesional Services (version1.600)?
if needed can we down load SAP Best Practices Profeesional Services (version1.600) freely from www.service.sap.com ? how to do it?
please help me in this regard.

The product you mention is to be utilized with the current version of SAP Solution Manager, which is based on SAP AS version 640 presently.

Thanks for any points you choose to assign

Best Practises for using Content Types

We had third party vendor who migrated and re structured contents and sites in Sharepoint 2010. I noticed one unusual thing : In most cases they new separate site content types for every library in a site i.e. even if two libraries contain same set of metadata
columns they created separate site content types by duplicating it from the first one and gave it unique name and used in second library.
My point of view for content type is that they are used for re usability, i.e. if another library is needing same set of metadata columns then I would just reuse existing content type rather than creating another content type with different name by inheriting
it from the first one and having same set of columns.
When I asked vendor reason for this approach (for every library they created new content types and for libraries needing same set of meta data columns they just inherited from a custom site content type and created another duplicate one with same set of
meta data columns and gave it different name in most cases name of library ) they said they did that to classify documents which I did not agree with because by creating two document libraries classification is already done.
I need some expert advice on this, I will really appreciate: I understand content types are useful and they provide re usability but,
A) Do we need to create new site content types whenever we create new library ? (Even though we are not going to re use them)
B) What is best practice : if few libraries are needing same set of metadata columns
1) Create site a content type and reuse it in those libraries ? or
2) Create a site content type and create new content types by inheriting from site content type created at first and just give them different name even though all of them are having same set of columns ?
I need expert advice on this but following is my own opinion on this
I do not think point A) is a good practice and should not be used, we should create site content type only when we think it will be re used and we do not need to create site content type every time we create document library. Also I do not think point 2)
of B is a good practice as well
Dhaval Raval

It depends on the nature of the content types and the libraries. If the document types really are shared between document libraries then use the same ones. If the content types are distinct and non overlapping items that have different processes, rules or
uses then breaking them out into a separate content type is the way forward.
As an example for sharing content types: Teams A and B have different document libraries. Both fill in purchase orders, although they work on different projects. In this case they use the same form and sharing a content type is the no question approach.
As an example for different content types: A company has two arms, a consultancy where they send people out to client sites and a manufacturing team who build hardware. Both need to fill in timesheets but whilst the metadata fields on both are the same the
forms are different and/or are processed in a different manner.
You can make a case either way, i prefer to keep the content types simple and only expand out when there's a proven need and a user base with experience with them. It means that if you wanted to subdivide later you'd have more of a headache but that's a
risk I generally think works out.

Best practises for using Excel functions on Power Pivot Data

Hi
How do you suggest to perform calculations on cells in a power pivot table? Obviously the ideal approach is to use a DAX measure. But given that DAX doesn't have every function, is there a recommended way of eg adding an "extra" ( ie just
adjacent) column to a pivot table. ( in particular I want to use beta.inv )
I could imagine one option of adding some VBA that would update the extra column as the pivot table itself refreshed ( and added more/less rows)
thanks
sean

Hi Sean,
I don't know what's your expected requirement regarding this issue, maybe you can share some sample data or scenario to us for further investigation. As we know, if we need to add extra column to PowerPivot data model, we can directly
create a calcuated column:
calculated columns:
http://www.powerpivot-info.com/post/178-how-to-add-dax-calculations-to-the-powerpivot-workbooks
There are some different between Excel and DAX functions, here are the list for your reference:

What is best practise for using .movelast .movefirst?

I was told at some point that I should always execute a .movelast then .movefirst before starting to work on a recordset, so that I was sure all records were loaded. But if there are NO records, I get a "no current record" when the .MoveLast statement is executed in the following code. But if I use rstClassList.RecordCount before the .movelast, can I count on it's being valid?
Also, I was unable to paste this code into this post. I had to re-type it. Is that expected behavior? Not to be able to paste stuff in?
ls_sql = "Select * from tblStudents"
Set rstClassList = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(ls_sql)
rstClassList.MoveLast
rstClassList.MoveFirst
li_count = rstClassList.RecordCount
TIA
LAS

You do a MoveLast in order to make the RecordCount accurate. If you access it before that, the results are unreliable.
You want to do a MoveLast, then a RecordCount, and only then a MoveFirst if the count is greater that zero.
That being said, the DataWindow is how people normally work with a database from PowerBuilder.

Transport landscape best practise

I'm wondering if SAP has a best practise document on transport landscape planning.
SAP Help has pretty clear description about a standard 3 system landscape. But not document is found describing complext transport landscape considerations --- multiple ABAP development/test systems, conflict resolution between project landscape and maintenance landscape.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
