    The error along with it's diagnosis is paster here.
    Message no. QC138
    Diagnosis
    No data is printed for batch number A070030 material 000000000550000063 , plant 1001.
    This can be caused by the following:
    Not all data was found for a characteristic in the certificate profile that is marked as obligatory.
    No requested data was found for any characteristic in the certificate profile.
    System Response
    The creation of the certificate profile is canceled.
    If the certificate is for a delivery item, the status of the message is set to Incorrectly processed.
    I have:
    Created the profile
    Assigned the material to it.
    The same MICs are maintained in the I.Plan, Lot, Profile.
    The profile is released.
    Pls HELP!!!!!
    With Best Regards,

    1. activate material  with batch mangt. (MM01)
    2. create Batch wrt above above matl. (MSC1)
    3. create Char (CT04)
    4. create class (Cl02)
    5. create MIC with class char. (QS21) (i think here u used copy model MIC)
    6. create cert. profile (QC01 with above MIC)
    7. assign matl. to above cert. profile (QC15)
    8.Create Insp. Plan (QP01 with above MIC only)
    9.create insp. lot (auto or QA01)

  • Plant Maintenance: Mass Print Notifications

    Hi All
    our client is using customised t code ZW58 for mass selection and printing of notifications. business want to select form and printer only once (vs each time when they currently mass print). how can we configure it?
    please help
    thanks
    tarun

    Thanks for your response.
    there should be a pop-up for the print wherein the user can select the shop paper, printer and no. of pages to be printed.
    also he should be able to print the shop papers with single click.
    according to the suggestion mentioned by you, user would not be able to select the no. of pages.
    let me explain with example:
    User wants to print 100 shop papers (same shop papers, i must say). for these shop papers to be printed, everytime user is getting a dialog box (100 times) to confirm the print , select the form etc.
    user must be able to print these shop papers within a single click, like he should not get 100 dialog boxes. one dialog box for setting the printer, selecting the form...
    please share your suggestion on this....
    thanks a lot

    You can develop Custome Report   , but for that 
    you will require  help from your Functional Team  , which will guide you thorug data selection  and processing
    i.e from which table data to be taken what to process .
      in that Report you can  display all details  which you reqired and also add one check box  in alv grid   in order to  select order no  .
      also take one button  on display Grid menu   using PF-status  .
      You have to  go through it step by step .

  • Spool Error - Errors occurred processing this print request

    Hi,
          I have a problem printing documents through spool.
    1. I run a form from Form Builder, execute and select to print from spool
    2. In SP02, I select the spool request created and Select Direct Printing.
    Spool request Status is changed to error and following is the error log.
    I get this for all print requests from spool. When I print these documents directly, I have no problem. I understand there is some problem with the spool server but do not know what it is.
    I also observed that when the spool access method is G - I have no problems in printing.

    Hi Sri,
    Try to setup the printer at OS LEVEL.
    then,
    If on Windows---use method C.
    if not,
    use method U and map to your printer queue at OS level.
    Hope this resloves this issue.

  • Mass printing of invoices

    Hi,
    when i create the invoice , the output types are determined automatically when saving the invoice in VF01.
    1 )i want that no invoice printing shud happen while saving.
    2) aslo i want all the invoices made by us during the day should be mass printed in the night.
    3) there are three options in output type config. "send print with own application/send while saving/send with background job.
    what is meant by send with pwn application
    how to achieve the above two things. what config and or coding shud be done
    regards
    sachin

    Hi,
    1)If you do not want the invoice to be printed as soon as the doc.is saved,Go to VV31---> enter the relevant OUTPUT TYPE ->EXECUTE-> Chnage the value in the column DATE/TIME from 4 (4     Send immediately (when saving the application) to 3 (3 Send with application own transaction).
    2)For mass printing you can use VF31 for mass printing and if you want the invoices to be printed in the night , then select 1(1     Send with periodically scheduled job) in the column DATE/TIME and do the necessary congig with your BASIS and ABAP team.
    3) The 3 ,Send with own application means that the system will automatically populate the output type as soon as the transaction is being processed.

  • AR customer invoice mass printing

    Hi
    I am trying to test mass printing for the AR invoice and credit memo.
    I am trying to use t-code f.62 to achieve that, the transaction works fine (besides asking enter the printer name for every document to print), but when i look at the spool, there are more than 1 documents per company code on each spool (5 docs) and it looks as if the first form pastes the same amount for all the other documents on that same spool.
    How do i fix this?
    2nd questions: is there any other t-code for mass printing your invoices and credit memos for AR?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
      Try with the standard report S_ALR_87012174 and give List->Print. This will print all the open items.

  • SAP Printers and Mass Printing of SAP Work Orders

    Good day Experts,
    We have a printer related issue especially mass printing of Work Orders. We have discovered that printing a list
    of work orders takes longer with intervals of 10min up to an hour, as compared to printing smaller list(1-5 etc)
    We are not certain whether this problem originates from the Network or SAP. The problem is not one of uniform nature,
    changes frequently, Sometimes better and sometimes worse.
    Please advise me.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Sibusiso

    hi,
    There could be many reason behind this
    1. Logic put to fetch data without key fields
    2. unwanted code
    3. Using System status search
    4. getting data from User status tables such as JCDS
    just check by giving print with one order, even if it results in performance issues, then it requires Fine tuning
    you have to check with developer to removed unwanted code

  • IW38 mass printing issue.

    Hi Friends
    I am making use of OIDH (User/planning plant/planner group/ shop paper)settings to take print out for maintenance orders.
    When i go for mass printing of order through IW38, for each and every order, system prompts me to select the shop papers whereas the requirement is it should print the shop papers as defined in OIDH.
    Note: I have not selected the setting 'Disp.PrtDlg Box' in default settings in maintenance order.
    TIA.

    Sorry! posted by mistake in wrong forum.

  • Reuse table space?

    Hi gurus.
    We did an upgrade to our R/3 system recently. When we did that, we created a new QA (QA2) client that I then pointed to my BW QA box. I think that I have deleted all of the R/3 QA1 info from BW, but my database has outgrown the available space. Is there any way to reuse table space without doing a reorg? I have been searching this forum as well as others and can't find an answer that fits my scenario.
    Thanks! Points will be awarded!

    Hi,
    Cube may have aggregates associated with them.
    Aggregates
    An aggregate is a materialized, aggregated view of the data in an InfoCube. In an aggregate, the dataset of an InfoCube is saved redundantly and persistently in a consolidated form. Aggregates make it possible to access InfoCube data quickly in Reporting. Aggregates serve, in a similar way to database indexes, to improve performance. We Create aggregates in the following cases:
    The execution and navigation of query data leads to delays with a group of queries.
    You want to speed up the execution and navigation of a specific query.
    You often use attributes in queries.
    You want to speed up reporting with characteristic hierarchies by aggregating specific hierarchy levels.
    An aggregate is made up of characteristics and navigation attributes belonging to an InfoCube. You can group the data according to different Aggregation levels. In doing so, you can also store values for hierarchy levels belonging to an external hierarchy. Both time-dependent attributes and time-dependent hierarchies can be used in aggregates. Characteristics that are not used in the aggregate are brought together.
    If you have created aggregates for an InfoCube and entered data for them, the OLAP processor automatically accesses these aggregates. When navigating, the different results are consistent. The aggregate is transparent for the end user. New data is loaded at a defined time using logical data packages (requests) in an aggregate. After this transaction, the new data is available for rolling up in reporting.
    An aggregation level indicates the degree of detail to which the data of the underlying InfoCube is compressed. An aggregation level must be assigned to each component of an aggregate (characteristics and navigation attributes). You can choose one of the following aggregation levels:
    All characteristic values ("*"): The data is grouped by all the values of the characteristic or navigation attribute.
    Hierarchy level ("H"): The data is grouped by the hierarchy level node.
    Fixed value (‘F’): The data is filled according to a single value.
    To use an aggregate for an InfoCube when executing a query, you must first activate it and then fill it with data. Select  the aggregate that you want to activate and fill. The system creates an active version of the aggregate .
    System Activity
    The system creates the tables required by the aggregate definition in the database. Aggregates are created according to the same schema as InfoCubes.
    An aggregate contains two fact tables and a number of dimension tables.
    The table names are derived from the technical names of the aggregates.
    If the new data packages (requests) are loaded into the InfoCube, they are not immediately available for Reporting via an aggregate. To provide the aggregate with the new data from the InfoCube, you must first load the data into the aggregate tables at a time which you can set. This process is known as a Rollup.
    If Infocube has aggregates and If you had loaded data to this Infocube, then, the newly loaded data wont be available for reporting untill and unless rollup is done. Roll up means adding the newly loaded data to aggregates.
    If you switch off the aggregates it wont be identified by the OLAP processor. report will fetch the data directly from the cube. Switching off the aggreagte won't delete any data,but temporarly the aggregate will not be availbale as if it is not built on the info cube. No reporting is not possible on swtiched off aggregates. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    You can temporarily switch off an aggregate to check if you need to use it. An aggregate that is switched off is not used when a query is executed.This aggregate will be having data from the previous load's. If the aggregate is switched off means it wont be available for reporting but data can be rolled up into it.
    If u deactivate the aggregates the data will be deleted from the aggregates and the aggregate structure will remain the same.
    The system deletes all the data and database tables of an aggregate. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    Later when you need those aggregate once again you have to create it from scratch.
    If I have more than one aggrgate and one of them is switched off then during roll up
    The data will be loaded to switched off aggregates also.
    But if the aggregate is deactivated the data will not be loaded to the aggregates. you have to do the initial fill by activcating the aggregates. Its like a init load.
    Scenario: Suppose the info cube needs to be undergone some changes after agggregate rollup (say wrong data needs to be deleted),so first we need to deactivate the aggregate and then delete the wrong requests from the cube and refill the aggregate to capure the existing changes.In this way changes will reflect in the aggregate,if not the aggregate will still contain the wrong data.
    When you delete aggregates both Structure as well as data is deleted.
    Aggregation ratio
    Aggregation ratio is no of records selected to no of records transfered
    refer this presentation: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cccad390-0201-0010-5093-fd9ec8157802
    it can be done from TCode ST03n or also from the query developed on BW statisitics/technical content
    Check the below links:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cbd2d390-0201-0010-8eab-a8a9269a23c2

    To view the contents of an aggregrate, goto the Maintanance screen of the Aggregrate, Select the Aggregate (techincal name) for which you want to view the data and then click on "Aggregate Data" (Push button with glasses symbol).
    "---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
    if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.

  • Table space not getting cleaned after using free method (permanent delete)

    Hi ,
    We are using the free method of the LIB OBJ, to permanently delete the objects. As per documentation, the ContentGarbageCollectionAgent will be cleaning the database which runs in a scheduled mode. But the log of that ContentGargabageCollectionAsgent shows, all zero for objects without reference, objects cleared,etc. I.e the table space remains the same before and after deleteing all the contents in the cmsdk database. But the agent is running as per the schedule but just comes out doing nothing.
    Can anbody put some light on this issue.
    thanks
    Raj.

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for replying. It's been a very long time waiting for you ;)
    ---"Are you running the 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.2, or 9.2.0.3 version of the Database?"
    we are using 9.2.0.1
    ---"If you installed the CM SDK schema in the "users" tablespace ......."
    Yes we are using USERS tablespace for our Development.
    I ran the query. The result is:
    SYSTEM MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    USERS MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    CTXSYS_DATA MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    CMSDK1_DATA MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    (USERS belongs to develpoment cmsdk schema. And CMSDK1 for Prod CMSDK schema)
    From the results I see only "Manual", but still I don't see the tablespace size being coming down. Both table space sizes (USER and CMSDK1) always grows higher and higher.
    Also to let you know, We use ORACLE EM Console (Standalone) application to see the oracle databse information online. Will there be any thing to do with the tool we use to see the table space sizes. We make sure we always refresh it before making a note.
    So is there anything else I can see. Once I saw the ContentGarbageCollection agent to free 1025 objects and deleted 0 objects. But I don't see any change in the table space size. I am little confused b/w freed and deleted.
    thanks once again for your response Matt.
