Spend Analysis for Commodity Code in ECC6

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way for spend analysis references to commodity code in SAP R3 as we are not using SAP SRM?
If there is any option in ECC6 then;
a) Which field/view maintained for Commodity code at Material Master?
b) Which field maintained for Commodity code at /PO/Contract/RFQ/Purchase Requisition (Header level or item level)?
c) How spend analysis can be reported based on commodity code? (Standard report, Z custom report, BI report)
Thanks,
Shah.

Hi,
These are the reports available in ECC for Commodity wise reporting. Regarding once maintained in material master, how far these serve your purpose you can test.
MC.3 This report will help you in getting the information on the inventory turn over ratio by Commodity.
MC45 This report identifies the share of the usage value to the total usage. You can also see the report graphically for a selected material in detail screen.
MCE5 This program will give you information on purchase value, invoice value during a selected period. However for these reports it is necessary to update the relevant LIS structure.
MCEC This report can be used for Purchase budget requirement. However for this report to work, long term planning functionality should be put in use.

Risk in populating Unit of measure for commodity code (foreign trade) in ECC

We have recently implemeted product classification in GTS for the EU and US. We want to implement the transfer of tariff data from GTS to ECC via the standard GTS transactions /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR and /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR_R3.
Our compliance team is concerned about beginning to populate the unit of measure commodity code in ECC. I know this field is only visible when a supplementary unit is on the tariff number and is different than the base unit of measure on the material master. These additional units of measure must be configured in order for the XML tariff files to load properly.
One concern that has come up is the conversion of the base UoM to the new unit of measure from the tariff files. Are there other issues/risks I need to be aware of? My understanding is this unit is used only when reporting the products to the customs authorities.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Hello Alison,
We implemented this, however, made an enhancement not to transfer the UOM to ECC. Our consultants are unable to clearly articulate the use of UOM in classification. I still have not have a complete grasp of UOM with classification. One thing we constantly run into, is job fails when external/internal UOM is not maintained during transfer of classification from GTS to ECC. Since we are not transferring UOM to ECC, we are now considering enhancement, so we do not have to maintain internal/external UOM from the files we receive from Customs Info. We have had a number of issues trying to figure out what to maintain as internal UOM for UOM sent by Customs Info. There is no ISO code to cross reference and makes it very difficult to figure this out.
Another thing that you need to be aware off - if you have products that is not classified in GTS and you have classification maintained in ECC, you can overwrite ECC values with blanks- the product master change/update date (for anything - not just classification) is picked up by the re-transfer job. We are currently making enhancements in the commodity code retransfer program, only to transfer when there is a value in GTS for classification.
I see Dave's message above " UoM is necessary for the calculation that supports your sourcing decisions as well as for your declarations to the authorities". I am really interested to understand the function of UOM in classification.

Padma

Commodity codes for foreign trade

Hi. I am a FICO support analyst but am currently trying to support SDMM as well while we are recruiting a new support analyst for those modules, so this isn't my area of expertise. We use ECC6. FI, CO, SD, MM, and COPA (costing based) for reporting.
I have been asked to set up a new commodity code for a product and country (Plywood from Brazil) we haven''t imported from before. So far I have:
Found an ICN for Plywood of the correct type
And (just in Dev so far):
Defined a commodity code length for Brazil in the IMG - IMG > S&D > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Length of Commodity code/Import Code Number
Defined the commodity code for the material, with correct country, code and UOM of M3) in the IMG - IMG > S&D > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Define Commodity Codes/Import Code Numbers by Country
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance

SAP Foreign Trade- Search commodity code by keyword

Hello,
In the IMG, I noticed a configuration area titled "Maintain Keywords for Commodity Codes". I was wondering if anyone could give me a hint as to how to take advantage of this (without abap would be wonderful)? I have searched help and OSS, but can't seem to find anything. I was hoping it would enable the user to type a keyword into the comm. code field on the material master and the system return a number of matches... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Jeff,
What sap syays on this!
Before you can calculate the duties that must be paid on your imported goods, you must correctly classify the product based on its commodity code or import code number (the first six digits are always the same internationally). These codes are found in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (usually known as the HS or Harmonized System). Once you have determined the code for the goods, you can determine the rate of duty in the harmonized tariff schedule. Tariff schedule rates differ for each country and, in cases involving a quota, these rates are usually higher once the quota
Code from the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (usually known as the HS or Harmonized System). These codes provide a standard way to identify materials for a country's export and import reporting systems.
The first six digits of a material's code number are standard internationally, but each country adds extra digits to the codes to further assign materials in its own classification system. In the USA and Japan, commodity codes are 10 digits in length. In Europe, the length of these codes vary from 8 to 12 digits. Codes used for importing goods tend to be longer in length than those used for export.
Additional information for USA:
In the US, codes from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the USA (HTSUSA) are used to classify import goods. With a few exceptions that are outlined in a notice to exporters, it may also be used to classify export goods. Schedule B is the official listing of commodity classifications used by shippers to report export shipments from the United States and in compiling the official statistics on exports of merchandise from the U.S.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.

Hi,
Reporting solutions will work for other reporting tools also. MDM will provide accurate Master data.
Need of PI?? - MDM accept and syndicate data in form of .xml, flat file (Refer reference guides). PI is helpful to for data transfer as well as monitoring capabilities are also good. I am not sure about BIZTalk's capability to integrate with system's you have in current lanscape. If it is there then you can utilise Biztalk also.

BI/BO necessary for Global Spend Analysis? PI necessary for syndication?

Hi! I have been reading about MDM and examples of how MDM can be used by companies. One is on its ability to provide accurate and consolidated data for spend analysis. I would like to find out whether the spend analysis solution is only applicable for BI/BO. What if the company does not have BI/BO? What examples of other reporting tools are available for spend analysis reporting?
Also, PI is mentioned to be needed for data extraction from remote system to be loaded into MDM. Similarly, it is needed for the syndication back to the remote system. May I find out whether PI can be replaced by another middleware such as BizTalk?
Appreciate any clarification on the above.
Cheers!

Enter commodity code/ Group code for the hierachy

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create New trading goods material by copying another similar material but here the issue is when I am trying to save the material mesage says Enter commidity code/ Group code for the hierarchy. This message is coming when every thing is finish and trying to save at the end of the transaction.
I believe we need to maintain commodity codes in customizing for sales and distribution especially foreign trade.
Any one can give me idea what is the configuration for this step by step.
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Krishna

Hello,
Commodity code can be configured in SPRO->Sales and Distribution->Foreign Trade/Customs->Basis data for Foreign Trade->Define Commodity Codes / Import Code Numbers By Country.
You maintain the same at country level.

Changing commodity Code for material grp under certain plant

Hi,
I would like to change commodity code for some material group under certain plant
May I know how to do this.
I went to the following SPRO path, however, the table does not mention the plant and the material group for me to change.
SD>Foreign Trade/Customs>Basic Data For Foreign Trade>Define Commodity Code/Import Code Numbres by Country.
Please let me know.
Thank.
Tuff

Hi Tuffy,
The commodity codes are defined by Country, not at Plant-Material group level.
You can find this customising on: SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Define Commodity Codes / Import Code Numbers by Country.
I hope this help.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Commodity codes are define at country code level not on basis of plant or material group
Weather it is one plant or many plants belongs from one company or different companies the commodity code is unique and it define by country legal authorities which are responsible for foreign trade.
You can add commodity code for country and then you individually or by mass change you can change in material master.

Delta update for spend analysis fails

Hi,
I am using Spend Analysis in BI 7.0. The delta upload for this gives 0 records.
I have checked RSA7. The data source shows 0 records even though new records are available in the line item table. Delta field is <b>TIMESTAMP</b>.
The data source is delta enabled but still RSA3 does not allow Delta extraction test.
Can anybody tell me how delta is loaded for spend analysis data and why RSA7 is not showing any records.
This is a very urgent issue. Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.

hi venkat,
are you able to solve the problem? I got a similar problem like yours, not really familiar with delta updates with generic extractor.
If solved already can you share the solution? I am stuck after init delta, a little research indicate there's some V1/V2/V3 updates that i need to set in R/3 and also delta queue..
Thanks...

BO 4.0 Advanced Analysis for OLAP - The MDAS service encountered an error.

Hi guru's,
We are running BO 4.0 SP02 Patch 11 with SAP BW 7 and experiencing the following error with Advanced Analysis for OLAP:
"Analysis edition for OLAP
The MDAS service encountered an error."
After you click show details:
"com.crystaldecisions.thirdparty.org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL minor code: 0x0 completed: No"
I have researched into this and found forums such as:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2053481
SAP KB 1560100 - BI4.0 Advanced Analysis Web problem: The MDAS Service encountered an error
SAP KB 1661163 - An error is generated when selecting a query or cube in Analysis for OLAP: Error 15
However, none of these have helped our situation too much.
We have rebuilt the windows server 2008 R2 recently, hence the process we followed was a fresh install of BO 4.0 SP02 platform & tools, and then patch 11 on top of these.
Crystal, WEBI's (using the same BICS connections as the AA's) and Dashboards are all working as per expected.
The errors are for every AA including ones with only 2 variable selections (light queries) to ones with many more. Hence it is platform wide for Advanced Analysis.
I have also tried creating new AA using existing BICS, new BICS existing AA, new BICS new AA all with no luck.
We have also created new Adaptive Processing Servers with only the MDAS as a common service, turned on tracing etc but nothing springs to us as to what is going wrong.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks all,

Hi All,
After conversing with SAP support technicians we have found what is causing this issue.
On the windows servers we have the following installed locally:
- BO platform 4.0 SP02
- BO platform 4.0 SP02 patch 11
- BO client tools 4.0 SP02
- BO client tools 4.0 SP02 patch 11
- Crystal reports 2011 SP02
- Crystal reports 2011 SP02 patch 11
- Crystal reports for Ent SP02
- Crystal reports for Ent SP02 patch 11
It seems that the crystal reports 2011 or cr for Ent was causing an issue in the .WAR files that BOE uses to run Advanced Analysis for OLAP.
After uninstalling the two crystal products and removing any left over cr files in program files on the server, AA for OLAP works successfully in our environment.
The other point after this was i stopped the tomcat and SIA, i renamed the BOE folder under <install dir>\SAP BO4.0\Tomcat6\webapps and restarted the tomcat and then the SIA. In 4.0 when the tomcat is started again it will go and recreate the BOE folder from the BO directories effectively recreating the apps .WAR files under the webapps\BOE folder.
SAP will hopefully document this issue for other clients.
Cheers,
