SAP SNC: Invoice Collaboration

Scenario:
The vendor creates a paper invoice, scans it and sends it to the customer. The customer scans it and using softwares like Readsoft/Opentext posts it in SAP ERP.
Question:
Can SNC possibly have a role here? How will SNC work with paper invoice? Can Readsoft/Opentext be eliminated without eliminating paper invoice?

Hi Alok,
Supplier can use SNC invoice collaboration if they want to use if they don't want to use then Supplier can use C-folder functionality with SNC integration in which they can upload scan copy of invoice.
SAP cFolders is an optional application that you can install and use together with SAP SNC. For more information about the integration of cFolders and SAP SNC, see the SAP SNC documentation. For more information about SAP cFolders functions, see the SAP cFolders documentation on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com then go to SAP Business Suite then go to SAP Project and Portfolio Mgmt then go to SAP cProject Suite .
Let me know for any clarification.
Thanks,
Nikhil

SAP SNC Supplier Network Collaboration integration with SAP ERP via BizTalk - experiences?

Hello,
had anybody experience in integration of SAP SNC Supplier Network Collaboration with SAP ERP via BizTalk Server?
Versions: SAP ECC 6.0 Ehp5 SPS11, SAP SNC current version (7.0?)
We will have to integrate following processes:
Master Data integration, PO Purchase Order, Forecast, SMI Supplier Managed Inventory
Usually SAP takes an SAP PI middleware for this, where the full implementation can be downloaded from the SAP marketplace, but we want to avoid having an additional Integration Platform with maintenance etc.
Are there experiences, success stories, pitfalls, issues to be known, recommendations, known efforts in this forum?
Thanks in advance.
Jens

Invoice collaboration - general question

We are implementing SNC for PO collaboration and we would like the vendors to create Invoice. However we have an existing interface with our clearing agent to get the ASN information. Can someone tell me if we would like to have invoice collaboration, do we have to have ASN in SNC? Anyone with similar situation, what's the best practice? Can we still have the vendor create ASN and just not send it to ECC (use only for Invoice).
Thank you for your time.
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
You can create invoice with reference to Purchase order or ASN.
Depending upon company's business process you can decide Invoice creation should be with reference to PO or ASN.
In SNC you can configure invoice creation with reference to PO or ASN.
As you will be aware of Company's (who is implementing SNC) business process you can suggest whether there is any need for supplier to create ASN for PO or not.
If ASN creation is needed then go for invoice creation with reference to ASN otherwise invoice creation with reference to PO.
You can also set validation for invoice creation with reference to ASN should be allow only if GR is done for this ASN.
Please see the SAP help link

MM Configuration for integration with SAP SNC

Hi,
I need to make MM configuration required to support PO collaboration and SMI process integrating with SAP SNC.
ANy kind of information would be very much helpdull
Thanks
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
MM configuration for PO collaboration is depend upon the your requirements. e.g. You want to upload the confirmations send by the supplier from SNC web UI to your R/3 system you have to use confirmation control key while creating PO in R/3 and make corresponding supplier confirmation control either optional or mandatory in SNC configuration. Default provided by SAP is optional.
Remember supplier can create confirmations only if ther either optional or mandatory.

Business scenarios in SAP SNC and aplication

Looking for informatios about SAP SNCi in SAP web site, I found some documents and one that show the business process in SAP SNC and industry tthat are recomended.
I would like to know what are the reason to use the business scenarios with this specifc industries?
Supplier Managed Inventory - Automotive

Web-Based Supplier Kanban with MRP - Automotive
Responsive Replenishment - Consumer Products
Supply Network Inventory - High Tech
Contract Manufacturing Procurement - High Tech

Thanks
Nilson

Hi Nilson,
The business processes mentioned can be used for any industry. There is not restriction as such.
These business processes are more relevant for those industry.
e.g. Outsourced Manufacturing / WO Collaboration is extensively used by High-Tech companies. Even the recent enhancement requirements have come from High-Tech companies.
Similarly, Kanban / SMI is extensively used by Automotive. But SMI is also popular with High-Tech.
CP industry is biggest consumer of Responsive Replenishment process.

PAYMENT PROCESS TO SUPPLIERS WITH SAP VENDOR INVOICE MANAGEMENT BY OPENTEXT

Hello gurus i am trying to send and write data from sap process integration to SAP vendor invoice management by OPENTEXT ,
the overall steps im trying are:
FUNCTION:
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE (ARC_DOC_ID)
ARCHIVE_CONNECTION INSERT (XML bound ARCDOC_ID)
/OPT/_VIM_START DOCPROCESS (VIM PROCESS INITIALIZATION)
here i expect that vim could fill the following tables:
OPT/VIM_1HEAD
OPT/VIM_ITEM
I realized some data is generated by example:
DOCID
DOCTYPE
AR_OBJECT
but the following fields are not filled for instance:
VBLN
LIFNR
....etc...
¿What kind of test / action/ SAP VIM configuration / development could i try in order to get the correct excution of vim process????
Regards!!!
Edited by: NWrscr on Aug 20, 2011 8:52 PM

Hi,
I did something similar and what I did is use the FM /OPT/VIM_START_DOC_PROCESS_EXT. The parameters I used are: ARCHIV_ID
ARCHIV_DOC_ID
CHANNEL_ID
EXTDATA_HEAD
EXTDATA_ITEM
IMG_DOC_ID
The extdata tabels are used for the "OCR" data. So you should connect to an OCR scenario and have the mapping done for OCR. If you don't have invoice data nothing will or can be filled off course.

SAP SNC Portal DCM screen performance is very slow and times out

Friends,
SAP SNC Portal DCM screen performance is very slow and times out when user trying to pull data using customer location
What are the cleanup activites we can do to improve the overall SNC performance ?
We did open OSS message but so far no reply from SAP , Is there any one faced performance issue ?
User/vendor is complaining about slowness , query is standard SAP and its taking more time .(table - /LIME/NTREE) , It looks like number of data are huge causing this problem related to LIME/NTREE table. What are the options to improve the performance ?
Thanks in Advance
Hanuman Choudhary

hi Team,
Pls . note the advise from SAP below, IS there any have experiance of archiveing /LIME records ?
Please advise how to start & what the steps in archiving ?
Thanks in advance
I had a look at the DCM query performance in PH1 system and figured out
that most of the time is spent at the LIME layer of database. The
following LIME tables are having far too many entries and is causing
the bottleneck during the query execution.
/LIME/NLOG_QUAN - 38,165,467
/LIME/PN_ITEM - 19,116,518
/LIME/PN_ITEM_TB - 19,154,124
These tables are storing the historical information about LIME(stock)
updates. Since these table grow with each change/update of stock
information, it will slow down the performance of the system over a
period of time. And to avoid the slow responses, the tables should
ideally be archived on a periodic basis to keep the data volume as
minimal as possible. You may have to discuss with the Business to
determine the number of days of LIME record you would want to retain
in the system. I would strongly recommend you to consider the LIME
archival retaining the minimum days (<=60 days) of historical
information. You can find more information about the Lime Archival
in the Sap Help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/44/2a83121dde23d1e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm.
Kindly get in touch with your BASIS consultant for the LIME archival.
The application performance should definitely improve after the LIME
archival. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me in case you
require any further clarification in this regards.

Org structure in SAP SNC

Hi All,
What is the Org structure in SAP SNC???
Thanks
Best Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay
>If one R/3 location is CIFed to SNC what it will become in SNC??
Each Supply Chain units in R/3 like Plant,Vendor,Customer,Supplier etc are handled as locations in SAP SNC or SAP SCM
Lets say a Plant XYZ is refered as location XYZ of type 1001 in SAP SNC
Go to transaction in SAP SNC /SAPAPO/LOC3 - Location
You will see field Location Type :
1001     Production Plant
1002     Distribution Center
1007     Storage Location MRP Area
1010     Customer
1011     Vendor
Basically in SAP SNC/SCM all these are locations, where planning happens, to map them back to R/3, they differentiate these locations based on location type.
>What is the BP no. and what is the role of that location that CIFed Location??
BP no corresponds to the organizational unit.
This comes into picture, in order to share the internal application (SAP SNC owned by OEM-Original Equipment Manufacuturer) to thier supply chain members like customer,supplier and sub contractor
They brought this BP concept, where an external supply chain unit is defined as BP of type Organisation and the necessary users(internet users/persons) are created under it
Now the mapping happens in location master /SAPAPO/LOC3 in the field Business Partner Number
>Is it not having BP no.?? Is the Storage location not taken into picture in SNC???
Yes it can have the B.P no provided before cifing, you enable the option both
in cfm1 field Create Loc./BP
This is only available for vendors,customers
For plants you will have to create manually in SAP SNC and assign it in location master
Storage locations are not handled in SAP SNC, I think Nikhil already mentioned it

SAP SNC Work Order Screen modification

Hello,
I have a request to remove all but the Accept Request in the Negotiate drop down on the Delivery Overview section in the Tracking tab for SAP SNC Work Order. Is it possible to either remove or gray out the other four options (Reject Request, Change date and qty, Split Delivery, Cancel Confirmation).
Thanks for you assistance,
Jeff Hnatiak

Hi Jeff,
WO Details screen is maintained as a Web Dynpro application by the name /SCF/REWO_DETAIL. To remove the unwanted options under the Negotiate dropdown, you will need to enhance the standard application. Screen enhancements can be done like, adding custom fileds, removing standard fields, blanking out standard fields etc.
This will need a ABAP WebDynpro programming effort. An enhancement implementation will need to be created for this application.

SAP ECC TO SAP SNC System

Hi Experts,
I have a Scenario like SAP ECC to SAP SNC (ASYNC).
The problem was, in the SXMB_MONI in the ACK Status it was showing one Question mark (with green colour). and also in the Outbound status, it was not showing any flag.

In PI/XI with SNC scenarios SAP provides default content such as Message Interfaces, Data Types and mappings.
Take a look at this link, I think it can help you: [http://help.sap.com/esoa_scm_snc2007/helpdata/en/index.htm]
