SAP Inventory Manager 4.0 (WM 1.0) issue downloading material returns on Goods Receipt

Hi all,
We're facing an issue related to GR and material returns, connecting to SAP backend system.
On this first screen we're using MIGO transaction and you'll see that we have a PO (4200000027) with one material (MATERIAL-1) which has a pending quantity of 298 EA to be received.
However, on this second screen, you'll see that when the PO gets downloaded to the Agentry client, it shows that only 295 EA are pending and that it shows that 5 EA has been received, while there are no items reversed or returned.
Finally, when we go to verify the Purchase History for the material using ME23N transaction, you'll see that indeed 5 EA have been received of the material, but also several returns have been made. So, after calculating the difference, the total quantity of items received are 2.
From this I understand that the SAP IM application has not downloaded the returns, and that is only considering the receipts that have been done. For that reason, it thinks that 295 EA are pending, when in reality it's supposed to be 298 EA.
Has anyone faced this issue before? Is this a known bug? Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks for your help
-Omar

Omar,
I'm not aware of any known issues with respective to calculation of open quantity which is quantity ordered - ( Total received ) - Total returned. In your case it is not working I guess.
what I would I suggest is to put a break point on SAP side for Purchase order fetch and check if it is something wrong with calculations. if it something to do with calculation then please open OSS message with SAP support team for IM 4.0 product.
Thanks
Manju.

SAP Inventory Manager 4.0 installation problems

I am having problems when trying to install the new version of Inv Manager 4.0 on windows server 2008. The installation is performed by first installing and patching to latest release an SMP 3.0 server, followed by an installation of the SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.0 Deployment exe file. That installation runs without any errors but no app is visible on the SMP, no folders or shortcuts or other indications are visible that it was successful. Also very strange is that according to the installation guide there are some steps (1-6) which I cannot see, my install runs jumps directly from step 3 step nr. 7 (serial numbers, install type, keys are all missing or not requested by the installation for some reason). I have installed this on 4 different servers/PC´s where at least 2 of those were totally fresh systems that didn´t have any previous installation of either Agentry or SMP. The prerequisites are met (java, jco etc) but what puzzles me the most is that I don´t see any logs or error messages.
Help is much appreciated

Bjorn,
At very high level...
1) Install SMP Server with Latest support pack. you don't need to enter any server serial numbers details.
2) Logon to SMP Management cockpit.
3) create Agentry application for Inventory Manager and save it.
4) Once Agentry application is created under server->configuration folder you can see a folder created.
Server\configuration\com.sap.mobile.platform.server.agentry.application.
5) Execute SAPInventoryMgr400Deployment.exe by entering SAP back end connection details.
6) Once you complete step 5), you have IM 4.0 deployment application is created. at this point you can copy all the deployment folder contents to application folder created in step 4) or do publish from editor or follow step 5.
5) Select Agentry application ->go to App Specific settings tab ->Under publish option "upload your Inventory Manager deployment zip file" and save the changes.
6) Re-start the Server.
7) Test if your application is deployed correctly by entering URL in the browser https ://<hostname>:8081/<appname> . you should get response as 'I'm here".
8) if step 7) is not successful then troubleshoot Agentry app deployment ( turn on agentry logging and check for startup errors ).
check this thread for SMP 3.0 Server Installation troubleshooting.

SAP Inventory management interface with Third party Warehouse System

Hi Experts,
Need your input for designing the SAP solution with existing Third party warehouse system ( Exacta ):-
SAP ERP will be implemented for all locations of Client ( SAP MM, FI, PS , HR etc ).The Client has 10 distribution centres which are on Exacta Warehouse systems and will be linked with SAP Inventory management system.
The way it will work - Goods receipt will always happen in SAP for all locations and then interface needs to Trigger subsequent Putaway activities at Exacta Ware house ( third party warehouse system) for those 10 locations.
Goods Issue for these locations will happen from Exacta and then update will be posted in SAP via interface.
All locations will be created as Plant /Storage locations in SAP.
Need your inputs what special configurations need to happen in SAP for those locations so that goods receipt in SAP can trigger putaway activities in Exacta system .
Do we need to do configuration for decentralised Warehouse in SAP for handling this?
Pl. give your inputs based on your past experience where you handled such scenarios via interface with SAP Inventory management and legacy warehouse systems.
Thanks for quick response on this.
Regards,
Krish

This is a std business process where clients have used their existing warehousing systems but implemented SAP forother functions such as Order entry, inventory mgmt and procurement, financials.
The typical interface that needs to happen is
1. Sales order ( and or delivery)
2. Invetory needs to be passed to the WH. Typically people send it when SAP GR takes place.
3. When WH system does picking, it sends signal to SAP which then does PGI for the sales order delivery and that takes the stock out of the system.
Material master has to be transferred or mapped between two systems. Also, other elements need to be mapped between two systems.
The way I have seen this happening is :
you have an output on the SAP GR process. That creates an idoc to the WH system. Based on the capabilities of the WH system, it then does appropriate actions in the system.
Many times, middlewares are used to translate/ map the data between SAP and the WH systems.
So system wise, there is ALE setup that needs to take place for IDOC creations.
Configuration and coding is required for the output type and the program behind it. There are several std FUnction Modules that can be used for this.
Hope this helps.

ATE does not display SAP Inventory Manager 4.0 screens properly

We're implementing SAP Inventory Manager 4.0 running on SMP 3.0 SP3 PL3. Testing the application in Agentry Test Environment is not possible as screens do not get rendered properly regardless of the platform selected. We've tried with multiple versions of ATE from SMP 3.0 SDK SP1 through SP4. None of those works. Because no buttons are rendered there is no way to interact with the app in ATE.
Could some prerequisites be missing? We've tried on a Windows 7 machine as well as the SMP server itself (Win Server 2008) getting the same exact results.

Lukasz,
Win32 screens were removed from the newest IM release because the WPF uses Tablet (iPad) screens. You can test in the ATE using the PPC screens by making a change to your screensets.ini file that sits in your application directory. We use this trick in product development to test using ATE:
Change your Win32 section in screensets.ini to be as follows:
[Win32]
1=PPC
After bouncing the server, using the above will allow you to debug the PPC screens. We do this for all our testing.

Unserialized for inventory management?

Hi,
why unserialized update for inventory management, why not direct update and delta queue.
regards
anitha.

Hi Anitha,
SAP Inventory Management system allows you to manage stocks on a quantity and value basis in order to plan, enter, check goods movements and carry out physical inventories.
Enables users to manage all the items purchased, manufactured, sold, or kept in stock. Services can also be defined as items, although they are relevant only for sales.
For each item, users enter the data relevant for a particular area in the system. This data is used automatically by the system for purchasing, sales, production, inventory management, and accounting.
Provides optimum support for business processes. Helps create orders, delivery notes, and outgoing invoices, automatically calculating prices, sales units, and gross profit. Enables complete control over stock quantities at all times and lets users analyze the financial aspects of stockholding at the same time. Allows users to control production on the basis of the items that are used for production and on the basis of the finished product and any by-products created.

Integration SMP 3.0 and Inventory Manager 3.2 / 4.0

Hello,
I have a Little doubt. For an Implementation of Inventory Manager after I have installed/configured the SMP 3.0 or SMP 2.3, in order to actívate the Agentry for Inventory Manager, Do I have to install the Inventory manager server (Agentry Server) which I had downloaded with Inventory Manager Package from services marketplace? or Do I have to install Agentry server which came with SMP, and after that just configure the deployment package as application within the SMP? ... I'm a Little bit confused because I think these deployment files (bundle) are on the agentry server that came with the Inventory Manager package (that is why the question was raised) and if I do not install the Inventory Manager Server I wont be able to get this bundle. Another questions is: In case the inventory manager server must be installed in order to make the agentry / SMP integration work for this standard app, If after this implementation We want to develop /configure another agentry apps, Can I do this with the agentry server installed for Inventory Manager (Inventory Manager Server) and not the "generic" one that came with the SMP?
Please Help Manju Venkatesha Michael Appleby Steve Streeter Jason Latko
Best Regards,
Mariana

Hi Manju Venkatesha & Stephen Streeter
Let me see if I understood what you guys answered me on this post...
1.- The agentry server is built on SMP 3.0 & SMP 2.3 and the standalone server on SMP 2.3 is only configure for development. Now, I have a another question about this...
Q.- if I need to configure the agentry's development environment besides Inventory Manager Mobile App, Does the SMP 2.3 developer server need two agentry server (The one built within SMP and the standalone for development process)? or just standalone server? or just SMP Server with Agentry generic server built within?. I understood production environment only will have one... the "generic" agentry server... as Steven said "SMP 2.3 needs to be use for QA and production", but i have this question regarding development server.
2.- Manju, We can install either IM 3.2 or IM 4.0, the thing is we are reviewing what versión is better to implement So I need to clarify my doubts for implementation process on both versions. The steps you mentioned put me in context and gives me some lights about the process, now, when you wrote: "Download Inventory Manager from service marketplace (it comes exe file)", is this the mobile server called "Inventory Manager 3.2.0 Sever" for IM 3.2 / "SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.1 Deployment" for IM 4.0?. The confusion raised here because the wizard for the mobile server that comes with mobile application implementation package, it is almost the same of Agentry standalone server, besides the SAP Backend information, it's pretty much the same wizard. In fact I think it will create a file system directory similar to standalone agentry server... So, my question about this is:
Q.- If the answer to my previous question: Does the SMP 2.3 developer server need two agentry server (The one built within SMP and the standalone for development process)? , is yes… and as you remark on your steps I need to install this mobile server (exe file), Is this mean that I need to install three agentry server on the development server (generic, standalone, mobile server)?, What happen with the file system directory for the agentry standalone dev server and inventory manager mobile server? Do they will merge in one??? And if I need to modify the inventory manager mobile app: which agentry server will be my development environment?
The SMP 3.0 which has the agentry component integrated and does not need a standalone one will need the "mobile server", does it? (exe file within SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.1 Deployment I guess or Inventory Manager 3.2.0 Server) and what about if I need to customize something on IM 4.0? The changes will be publish directly to the agentry component within SMP 3.0?
Another thing, is the Inventory manager server (mobile server) will give me the jar file from which I can get the IM agentry project for Inventory manager mobile app customization?
I know I can be confusing on my questions but please help me understand
Thank you both for the information / help you could give me ...
Best Regards,
Mariana

Agentry Inventory Manager 4.0 DTWarehouseConfirmIndicator failure

I have installed the Inventory Manager 4.0 application into an SMP 3.0 SP03 PL02 environment. The Add-On has been installed into SAP and both the SAP_INVENTORY_MANAGER_40 and SAP_WAREHOUSE_MANAGER_10 BC sets have been activated. I am trying to use the Warehouse Management application.
The SMP Service starts up fine and the the "SAPIM" application is loaded. The JavaBE is correctly pointing to the SAP_WAREHOUSE_MANAGER_10 application.
The problem is when I connect with the Agentry client, it logs in, does a few initial items, then begins the Data Table Check. It immediately errors out with the following error:
I imported the application into the editor and looked at the DTWarehouseConfirmIndicator table definition. There is a comment in the Description of "DTWarehouseConfirmIndicator is populated va the MDO SWHM10_CONFIRMATION_INDICATOR". So I went into the Config Panel to look for that MDO, but it does not exist. So I looked into the DT_MDOID section of the Parameters and there is no configuration for the DTWarehouseConfirmIndicator even defined.
Is this a configuration that is missing in the Add-On? If so, can a fix be provided quickly?
Or, is this particular data table even used in the application, to where it is defined, but should have been removed?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
-- Ed

I did put in 2016237 and then 2016236 - Mobile configuration panel changes for SAP Inventory Manager 4.0
I had to reinstall the app client then for the changes to take effect.

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

SAP (SYCLO) Inventory Manager 3.2 windows supported devices

Hi,
I need to know if devices with OS Windows CE 6.0 are supported for SAP (SYCLO) Inventory Manager 3.2? I have read the documentation and the PAM and I'm a Little bit confused, because on the apps factsheet says it Works with Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.5 (also this is shown on the OSS Note 1784119) but, the client executable that is shown on that same note is named as: SAPIM_3200_Client_WinCE_.exe, at the PAM is listed Windows CE 6.5 as a supported operative system for the app client and at the store sap it is shown about the following devices supported: Windows Phone CE 6.5 and Windows Mobile (5.0, 6.0, 6.5, 6.5.x) Windows 7, Windows XP Professional. With this been said, I assume that Windows mobile 6.5 (classic, std or profesional) is supported, but I don't know if windows CE 6.0 is supported?
Now, I have on my device inventory some with Windows CE 6.0 Operative System and some with Windows Mobile 6.5. I just want to know if I can use this application with those type of Windows devices. I'll wait for your kind answers
Best Regards,
MC

Hi guys,
Can you help me with this question?
I could not find any documentation that helps me out... And while I was researching on SDN, I find out you all were savvy on standard syclo application (agentry) like work manager and inventory manager (the one i'm focus my attention on this thread). I'll appreciate your help..
