SDHO - question on variant creation

"Hi team
I need you HELP!!
I have generate a transaction variant for tcodes: CO11N and CO15 then I have assigned some users to both transactions.
in SHD0
First I set the users to CO11N variant --> assign variant and set proposal.
with the same group of user i set the variant for tcode CO15.
when testing I realized the the field quantity in Good movements was non editable in CO15 (the last configuration for the list of users).
but in CO11N it was editable
I know there is an option to active the variant at the begginig of the transaction but this is not a solution since it makes for ALL non editable and not only the listed users. Also it affected all not considering the user assignenment.
How can I make it non editable in CO11N and CO15 at the same time for the list of users??
TCode CO11
Transaction variant: ZCO11NNCO11N
Variant Group: ZCO11NN
and
TCode CO15
Transaction variant: ZCO15NNCO15
Variant Group: ZCO15NN
question 2: Can the program SAPLCOWB has 2 transaction variant assigned at the same time?
thks in advance!!
PLS help!!!

any ideas?
can the program SAPLCOWB has to variant ?
1- co11n
2 -co15
thks!

Variant creation

Hi,
We have a variant for a SE38 program, which is being used by a batch job to execute the program in the background.
We would like to change the variant directly in production, but find in the attributes that the variant is protected.
My questions are:
1) How can I change the variant
2) If I cannot change the variant then I would like to delete it and create a new variant with the same name. In that case how can I enter values in the attributes? Because on the selection screen of the program, there is a field called Idoc Run Date. This field should be populated dynamically. In the current variant (which we would like to change) find that there is a parameter for idoc run date RS_VARI_V_TODAY_X.
3) If I delete the existing variant will it also delete the parameter RS_VARI_V_TODAY_X.
4) How do I create the parameter RS_VARI_V_TODAY_X (or any other parameter). and attach it to the new variant.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
MIck

Run your program in online mode in production.
On the selection screen, put all the values you want to store as variant.
Now press the Save button.
You will be directed to Variant creation screen.
Give your variant name.
Save it.. it will ask for "overwritten".. say yes.

Variant Creation for the Back Ground Jobs

Hi experts
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
3) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
Please give your valuable opinions on the above queries
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below are the answers to your queries.
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
While creating CVC's (t-code /n/sapapo/mc62)select your MPOS, goto create characteristic combinations, then enter Target mpos, say generate in background, tick against all fields in action selection, and then save as variant. During planning area initialisation(/n/sapapo/msdp_admin), select your planning area, right click and say create time series objects and then enter planning version, start and end dates and execute job in background. While calculating proportional factors (/n/sapapo/mc8v), enter ur planning area & infocube and then save as a variant. For loading data from infocube to planning area (tcode /n/sapapo/tscube), select the infocube, planning version, planning area, planning versin, periods, tick mark in results log, key figure assignments, if you have any selection criteria enter, and then save as variant.
2) 2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
Correct
3) ) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
Yes, it is required.
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
if you use mc8v t-code and provide planning area & infocube, it will ask for version name and dates, once u enter this info, proportional factors will get created.

To provide "variant creation facility" in a Molule pool program

Hi
I have develope a molude pool screen with some input fields.
now I want to provide " variant creation facility" as in standard reports.
I will enable "SAVE" button on the status bar. but I have no idea how to provide
variant creation facility same as in standard reports.
please help me .
Regards
Kakoli

Hi,
I doubt if it can be achieved by standard solution or FMs. But i have an idea. Check the feasibility of implementing it.
Provide 2 buttons. One for saving the variant, other for selecting the variant.
Create a Ztable with variant name as the key field and rest of the screen fields as non key fields. Now, on clicking the save button, update this Ztable with all screen field values. On clicking the get variant button, query this Ztable and provide a popup with available variants. If a variant is selected, populate the values from Z-table to screen.
But can we handle table control with this approach!!!!??? I hope no.
Thanks,
Vinod.

AFAB dynamic variant creation for Posting period.

HI,
Business Requirement :
Business want to run AFAB transaction code every month automatically with schedule job.
system should pick present month period in posting period field.
i checked in variant creation against posting period there is no dynamic " D " in selection variable column.
how can i fix this.

Hi Jani,
Check with abaper if TVARV table can Help you in this case, or create a z program from AFAB. And add date field to it, and schedule job based on that,
I think TVARV table will be a better approach.
Another point to consider here would be that dep should be run once business is ready to do so, and has its own hick ups in business if corrections are required to be made after executing AFAB by job

T.code for Variant creation

Hello Gurus,
What is the T.code for variant creation
regards
sapmm

Dear sapmm99,
In my understanding the default values that should be automatically reflected for the input parameters for executing any report is
referred as a variant.
Say for Eg,executing report MB52,in case if I execute the report several times with the same input,i can save the input parameters
and create that as a variant and in future i can call this variant to reduce the work load and execute the report.
For eg: enter the plant 1000,material type as FERT,some material group and click on the save icon and the system asks to enter
the variant name and the meaning and then select the check boxes for protect variant and click on copy screen assignment.
If i want to protect the entered input parameters i can select the check boxes for the same and save and come out.
Next time when i execute the same report MB52 and if I need some default values to get copied,i can get the variant by clicking on
get variant or else Shift+F5 and select the saved variant.
Check the same for the reports like ME5A.
Check and revert.

A question about Job Creation

Hi Expert,
By JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE, we can schedule a job.
When the first two FMs is executed, the job is still in 'scheduled' status. Only when the FM JOB_CLOSE is executed, the job will be in 'released' status.
In my applicaiton, I need to check the job status. If the job is in 'scheduled' status, I think that the job creation is not successsful; Otherwise, the job creation is successful.
But the issue is, if job is in 'scheduled' status, how can I know whether all three FMs is executed in the job creation or only JOB_OPEN and JOB_SUBMIT are executed while JOB_CLOSE still not starts?
In the later case, the applicaiton should wait some time and check the job later.
Thanks for your support
Best Regards, Johnney.

Hi,
Suppose there two APIs.
In API1, there are four steps:
1. call FM JOB_OPEN
2. call FM JOB_SUBMIT
3. Save the Jobname and Jobcount in the DB
4. CAll JOB_CLOSE
in API2, there are two steps:
1. get the Jobname and Jobcount from the DB
2. Call FM BP_JOBLIST_STATUS_GET to get the job status.
API1 and API2 are executed asynchronically. Consider the following case:
After STEP3 is executed(STEP4 has not yet been started), the API2 starts to run. Now the job status that API2 get is 'Scheduled'.
This is not correct, because the job creation is still not finished. The API2 should wait some time and check later.
So my question, is how API2 know that the job creation is not finished.
Thanks & Best Regards, Johnney.

Problem during material variant creation

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create material variant in MM01. I entered configurable material let's say DESKTOP. nOw i have partial variant scenario so instead of entering all 30 characteristics i need to enter only 3 characteristics.These 3 charcteristics based on which partial matching will happen in sale document.
My requirement is as out of 30 , TEN chars. are maintained as required entry. So system is asking me to enter all 10 required chars. in material master which my scnario don't want.But the same is required in Sales document.
How to remove this required entry in case of material master creation and keep required entry in sales order or quotation?
Regds

Hi,
You can decide whether it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic on the basis of transaction code.
You must use [selection condition|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] which calls the [user-defined function|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. In function you need to analyze sy-tcode and raise the predefined exception FAIL for those when you don't want to assign a value to a characteristic (e.g. mm01, mm02). Contact your ABAP team to create such a function.
Don't tick the characteristic as required entry in class definition but assign this selection condition to this characteristic in class.

Alexander

Three questions about the creation of secondary indexes in ODS design mode

1. When we right click the Indexes folder in ODS design to select Create to create the Index folder 010, a small window pops up with a check box called "Unique", do we have to check this checkbox to create folder 010?
2. If we would like to include 3 InfoObjects into the secondary indexes, then how many folders we need to create? Need to create 3 folders like 010, 020, and 030 and place the 3 InfoObj. into the 3 folder respectively or create only one folder 010 and place all the 3 InfoObj. into this one folder 010?
3. In SAP documentation titled "BW Performance Tuning" about the Indices, it says "If the (uncompressed) F fact table is small, it is usually faster to drop the secondary (bitmap) indices before the load and build them up after the load"
Someone here says secondary index is only for ODS other than for cubes, but from the above statement, F fact table is related to cubes, then how to explain it? Also the above statement is talking above the variant in process chain that when you bring in a variant to load data to cube, then the drop index and generate index variants will be automatically created, does it refer to this? And what's bitmap index?
Thanks in advance and we will continue to give you reward points!

Hi Kevin,
Cube has Secondary index's. The index's that we find in the Manage of the Cube are the Secondary Index's. Please check the following link for more information.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/80/1a6473e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Also, to know about Unique indexes, use the following link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/9b/c743f5b40711d194f900a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm
"The indexes displayed are the secondary indexes of the F and E fact tables for the InfoCube. The primary indexes and those defined by the user are not displayed. " (SAP help).
This should answer your questions.

Question on variants, TVARV etc

Gurus,
This might sound like a basic question, but nevertheless I shall ask.
I have a program, which has two fields for selection
1. Task
2. Variant
There is a create variant/delete variant and change variant options below the above two parameters.
I can click on create variant, and then in the next screen, input values for few fields and save the variant, say as Z1.
Now my first screen has the task input and Z1 as the variant field input.
Now my intention is to run the program for multiple tasks and multiple variant selections (Second screen entries).
I was planning to save variables in TVARV table, so that programattically I can update the field values of the second screen and then run the program. But how do I handle the variant for the task and variant combo programatically?
Hope my question is clear. I want to handle the two level variants scenario dynamically!
Thanks much and points will be awarded

Variant Creation in Transaction MB51

Dear All,
I faced one Issue during creation of Variant in MB51 Transaction is like Below.
In Posting date field From to To in that i required from date is fixed and To date is Dynamic (Current date - 3)
So how can i set this?
In Variants we can give dynamic date calculator to calculate date as we required.
Does there is a option to add more selection option (ie if I have to add a Fixed date , Current date -3).
Where I can do this?
Regards,
Murari Shah

Hi,
> In Posting date field From to To in that i required from date is fixed and To date is Dynamic (Current date - 3)
Follow as following,enter your From date & Select Save as Variant, New window appears, there enter your Variant Name & Short Text,
Now Select Posting date from the Selection Screen-Field Name, there go to 3rd last column for "Selection variable" in posting date line & press F4 over there & select "D: Dynamic date calculation",
Now go to last column " Name of Variable" press F4, new screen appears, in that scroll down & double click on "Date - xxx, Date + yyy (work days)" or also you can use "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy", New window opens, here enter the values in numbers w.r.t. date,
If you want to Consider today's date always then put 0 in the first field or you can put addition of no. off days as per your choice, then in second field put 3(system will add 3 days from today date),
Then in field " Work days are determined according to factory calndr." enter "IN", press enter & save your variant, then execute again MB51 after coming out of all screens & check whether you requirement is achieved.

Fiscal Week and Fiscal Variant Creation in BW

Hi,
I have a 2004s system that is not connected to an R/3/ECC client. The data comes from a SQL Server Database. We need to report on a fiscal week basis and not a calendar week.
We have a seperate calendar week that finance uses, but operations uses a different work week (Tues - Mon).
I figure the best way to handle this is by creating a Fiscal Variant of 53 periods (one for each week). My problem is that I cannot right click on the R/3 source system and import all of the Fiscal Periods. I have to create them in BI directly.
Can anyone advise me on how to do this? I have completed the following steps:
1.) I went into SPRO=> SAP NetWeaver=> Business Intelligence=> General BI Settings=> Maintain Fiscal year variant.
2.) Then I created variant ZA with Year-Dependent and 53 periods. I left special periods blank.
3.) I create the periods for 2007 and 2008 making 1/6/07 the last day of the first period of 2007 and 12/29/07 the last day of the last period of 2007 and one final entry for 12/31/07 for period 1 year shift +1. 2008 was set up similarly.
4.) I setup the period texts naming them as 1/ FW 1 ... to 53/ FW 53 for both 2007 and 2008.
5.) I then went into SHortened Fiscal Year and made both 2007 and 2008 to have 52 periods.
Am I missing something here? When I load my data I get the following error:
"Fiscal year variant ZA is not maintained for calendar year 2007" and I get this error on over 100 records of my 1300 record load. Some Dates are 2/18/08 which isn't in FY07 and others are 1/8/07 - 1/10/07.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Questions about PO creation / update / cancel interfaces

Hi there,
An E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 customer wants to use the 11i PO creation / update / cancel interfaces in order to manage Purchase Orders created from a 3rd party system.
I've been through the 'Oracle Purchasing Open Interfaces' guide (115mfgapi.pdf), but it's still unclear to me whether:
1/ It is possible or not to add a new PO line to an existing PO through the interfaces ? If yes, how do one do that: what interface ? sample code ?
2/ It is possible or not to change the distribution (= accounting information) of an existing PO line ? If yes, ...
3/ It is possible or not to reject the full PO document if a single line fails during the PO creation ? Same for a batch of POs: reject the full batch if a single PO fails ?
4/ Is it possible or not to cancel a PO line even if the shipment already occured ? And even if the payment already occured ? Are there some controls here ?
Thanks for your help,
Kind regards - Hugues

1. Answer is YES. You can add a line to an existing standard purchase order by choosing the UPDATE. This can be done through Purchase Documents Open Interface.
I can not give an example. It's quite long to write it. But You should use Open interface user guide to find nessesary columns. Just insert new row with status UPDATE and try to import
2. Think You can NOT.
3. Answer is YES. You can do it. Use "Cancel PO API". Function name is PO_Document_Control_PUB.control_document ().
For technical details read Open interface UG.
You must create exception to be avoid problems if some lines can not be canceled.
4. Answer is YES. You can do it if there's still expected quantity to recive.
boldJust from UG:*bold* :)
bold1. Purchase Order Change APIs. bold
boldThe APIs enable you to do the following*bold*:
- Record Acceptance/Rejection in Oracle Purchasing
- Update quantity, price, and promise date on standard purchase orders or releases in Oracle Purchasing
boldSo only qty, promissed date, price*bold*
boldRead next*bold*:
Line Level Validation and Update: This logic occurs when LINE_NUM is not null
and SHIPMENT_NUM is null.
1. No update occurs if the line status is FINALLY CLOSED or CANCELLED.
2. The new quantity or price value must be positive.
3. If updating quantity, the new quantity must be greater than or equal to the
greater of total quantity_received of all shipments and total quantity_billed
of all shipments for this line. After the update takes place, the new quantity
will be prorated at the shipment level and for each shipment the quantity is
prorated at the distribution level if applicable.
4. If updating price, no update occurs if a receipt has been created against one
of the line’s shipments and it's been accrued upon receipt. No update
occurs if an invoice has been created against one of the line’s shipments.
After a price update takes place, price changes are rolled down to the
shipment level for standard POs. No price update occurs for a release if the
Price Override flag on the blanket purchase agreement Line is No.
boldSummary:*bold*
boldYou can update qty if still there's a qty to receive (Expected) and if PO still is not canceled*bold*
boldEXAMPLE:*bold*
Usage Example
set serveroutput on;
-- After the API completes, do not forget to commit if the result is 1
-- and rollback if the result is 0.
