Regards,

Hi,
Material Master : In AFS few view have been added like
AFS MRP :
1.Here you mention the activation of MRP run
2.How material need to be maintained , Bundles or without bundles
3. Batch management . Whether grid value should be the batch number
AFS Valuation : If you are using split valuation then you can valaute material grid value wise.
AFS Basic data :
1.Grid need to be mentioned here. Which dimension grid are you using for the material.
2. Coverage strategy for material.
BOM : Material Grid should be valid at the time of creation of BOM. Only this need to be take care no additional setting require.
Configuration : All customization would be ame like order type , production scheduler profile etc
Only you need to active MRP run for the plant level and also Bundle management.
Business Process : Same as used in discrete.

LSMW Direct input for AFS Standard price on AFS Valuation tab

Hi
Iam trying to load AFS material data thru LSMW ..and iam successfully loaded the AFS specific data.
But when iam trying to create or update the AFS Valuation data,,,The standard price is not created or updated with price control field...Both fields are greyed out on the screen, but LSMW has the structure J_3ADI5 which has all the fields in AFS valuation to create, for some reason its not creating/updating....
there is a separate transaction to update or create the price but i wanted to do with LSMW.
I want to know whether LSMW supports Standard price load screen field (J_3AMADKA-PRICE) on the AFS valuation tab on Material master.
Object : 0020 (Material Master)
Method : 0000
Prog : RMDATIND
Prog type : Direct input
Can anybody has an idea or did this before?
Thanks in advance

I dont know AFS, but I know that SAP does not allow to change valuation price of standard material master after it was used, not even with MM02 transaction.
the reason is that the material master programs are there to create the master data, but price changes are transaction data where at least a price change document is to be created and dependend on stock situation as well an accounting document.
Can you update the the price with the usual maintenance transaction manually for your AFS material?

Difference between J_3AMADKA and MBEW / Update SKU standard prices with AFS

Dear reader,
Environement: ECC 6 with AFS 6.3
In a first step,I am trying to create, and in a second step, to update the SKU standard prices using FM: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
It is really strange the way it performs changes on table MBEW and J_3AMADKA.
Can anyone explain to me the different use of those two tables? I thought that the J_3AMADKA was dedicated to SKU level, but finally, the TA: /n/afs/conv1 create the SKU standard prices only in MBEW !? But BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
just create ONE entree in MBEW (?!?) while all SKU entree but without prices in J_3AMADKA.
In FM: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA., I mainly filled structure VALUATIONDATA (=> MBEW) and SKU_PLANTDATA_VALUATION, where surprisingly, there is no standard price field for the SKU !?
Any link or remarks about this topice will be most apprecitaed,
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Kalias,
Many thanks for your fats reply.
I had a look to the (really old) SAP notes and after some few researches, it seems that AFS 6.3 insert the PRICE and ZKPRS columns again into table J_3AMADKA.
Those columns are even populated with values So it means that they are required by some SAP standard programms.
Maybe you have another clue about this topic?
Thanks again for your help,
Daniel

Linkage Between PIRs and Sales Order in STandard SAP or AFS

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing the concept of Planned Independent Requirements(PIRs) in SAP AFS.
Below is the process am following :
1. Create PIRs.
2. Create a Purchase Requisitions.
3. Create Sales Order.
I am using the concept of forward consumptiona and planning strategy 40 for the PIRs consumption.
Also I understand that the Sales order will consume the PIRs.But when I go the stock Requirements
list I dont see any changes happening.I mean I dont see any linkage between the Sales Order or the PIRs.
Please help on the above concept,Am trying to understand how does the concept of PIRs work and how can I simulate and see the results in SAP.What will happen to the PIRs and SO and how can I see the linkage that a Particular Sales Order has consumed the PIR.
Any help on this would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Jinen

Hi,
I am explaining the cycle of PIR.
Strategy group(which is used in MRP3) is the combination of different strategies.
The strategies are defined in this following Path
SPRO->Production->Production Planning>Demand Management>Planned Independent Requirements>Planning Strategy>Define Strategy.
Strategy is the combination of requirement types defined wrt demand managament(PIR)-PP area
and req types defined wrt customer(SD area).
These requirement types are assigned to requirement class.
PP area, to assign req type to req class,
Production Planning->Demand Management>Planned Independent Requirements->Requirements Types/Requirements Classes>Define requirements types and allocate requirements class.
In SD area, In OVZH u will assign req type to req class.
In PP area, this requirement class is defined in OMPO transaction where u will maintain Planning indicator,consumption indicator etc.....
In SD area, u will maintain it in OVZG transaction.
For Strategy 40 requirment class are 101, requirement type VSF, Customer req type is KSV
Just check for the above settings.
First create the PIR. Then create sale order. and check in MD04. PIR will get consumed based on the inwarded sales order.
Revert back for any clarification.
Thanks and Regds

PP - No data in Field J_3ARESM (reserved qty) of 2lis_02_pabdsi(AFS based)

Hi,
I have loaded data for the AFS based datasource 2LIS_AF_PABDSI of PP. But there is no data in the field -
J_3ARESM(reserved quantity) - only showing 0,000. Used RSA3 transaction to extract data.
I checked it after filling up the setup tables. Data is present for all other fields.
Using MB25 transaction, when I give a particular production order - it has reservation data.
But, no data is present for Reservation Quantity in 2LIS_AF_PABDSI.
Thanks & Regards

End Routine to populate custom AFS field for Billing Item extractor

I have the following scenario for Billing 2LIS_13_VDITM datasource
Doc_No   Item Material    Item_Categ   AFS_field
2000        11     XYZ          123
2000        12     XYZ          123                  US1
3000        11     PQR          456
3000        12     PQR          456                  CA1
I need to populate the AFS_field in the first row also for all Doc Nos for certain Item categories (eg 123 & 456). I need to do this on the first transformation from PSA to DSO. I was planning to write a SELECT statement in the Start Routine with the PSA table as the reference as seen below and then write an End Routine calling this reference table. But the PSA table name is different in Dev, QA and Prod so I cannot use this.
TYPES: BEGIN OF S_AFS,
VBELN TYPE C LENGTH 10,
PSTYV TYPE C LENGTH 4,
MATNR TYPE C LENGTH 18,
J_4KRCAT TYPE C LENGTH 16,
J_4KSCAT TYPE C LENGTH 16,
END OF S_AFS.
DATA: LT_AFS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF S_AFS,
      LS_AFS TYPE S_AFS.
DATA: LT_DATA TYPE tyt_SC_1.
LT_DATA[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE[].
SORT LT_DATA DESCENDING BY VBELN MATNR J_4KRCAT.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM LT_DATA COMPARING VBELN MATNR.
SELECT VBELN MATNR J_4KRCAT J_4KSCAT
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE LT_AFS
FROM /BIC/B0000777001
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_DATA WHERE VBELN = LT_DATA-VBELN AND MATNR =
LT_DATA-MATNR.
SORT LT_AFS BY VBELN MATNR.
I am not an expert in writing ABAP code. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and points will be assigned. Thank you.

Hi
why do want to select the data from PSA table ?Already your trying to load data from PSA to DSO.
you want to populate the AFS field value in DSO right?
1. First you have to add AFS field in ur DSO
2. Write the Start routine based on ur scenario(select the data based on ur scenario and put into internal table).
3. wirte AFS field leval transfer routine(Read the corresponding record based on docu num,item num) pass into RESULT.

AFS-QM Error in stock posting performed by taking Usage decision

Hi all,
during stock posting with 105 mov type performed by taking Usage Decision (QA11), I faced with a strange system behavior, described beneath.
Previuos steps:
Purchase order creation
Partial Good receipt performed by MIGO, mov type 103 (Blocked stock from PO)
Automatic Creation of Inspection Lot
Error encountered:
If I take usage decision (QA11) for the inspection lot created, putting the stock checked in Unrestricted Use (correspondant mov type = 105), in the following good receipt (related to the same purchase order), the incoming stock available is less of the real quantity, previously accepted..
After some checks we understood that with 105 mov type the system doubles the real quantity previoulsy accepted, acting in the following manner:
Initial PO: 100 PZ
1° Good receipt: 30 PZ
(automatic creation of inspection lot)
If we take a usage decision, posting stock to unrestricted use (mov type 105), in the 2° Good receipt, the quantity available from the same PO is not 70 PZ (100 - 30), but only 40 PZ ! ! (100 - (30 * 2)) = 40
Please note that it does not occur if we post stock (always 105 mov type) with a MIGO transaction, so we are forced to think that the problem is strictly related to AFS-QM inventory posting, and not to 105 mov type or inbounding process.
Thanks for your collaboration,
Regards,
Ale

I'm not familiar with the specific apparel and footwear solution but with regards to QM, if you are using the standard SAP delivered stock postings, it should use 105 to accept the material to unrestricted for the GR blocked.
I would first use MB51 for the material and batch and review all the material movement documents. Look at the trail of movements and try to see where the changes happen.
In your example, what did the unrestricted inventory and GR blocked inventory show as stock levels?
I'd also check OSS for issues related to AFS/QM. This is not new functionality in SAP so I would be surprised if this was an actual bug or problem in the system that hasn't been seen before.

EDI order to automatically reject line items that cannot be allocated( AFS)

Hi All
The requirement is as follows
1. A specific type of customer EDI order enters SAP via IDOC
2. We need to identify these specific orders in SAP and have the ability to automatically reject lines that cannot be allocated (AFS allocation)
3. What are our options using standard functionality of SAP/AFS? Iu2019d prefer an element other than a new doc type. Something such as order reason, or Purchase Order Type (preferred)
4. How is this possible?
Appreciate your quick help and response.
Thanks
Yella

Hi Roja,
After seeing your query it can be done through user exit only,there is no option in standard.
User exit in program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP or
MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT
take ABAPer help he can fix the problem
in the program you can tell in which conditions the order should be created with automatic reason for rejection.

How to change the billing qty directly during VF01 in AFS?

Dear experts:
Can anyone advise how we can change the billing qty directly during VF01 in AFS? Can anybody tell me why i can modify the billing qty in SAP R/3 ECC6.0, but it fail to in AFS, why?
The operation was:
1、I have to done one customising, in VOV7 for my Item category change the Billing Relevance to "K"；
2、We setting up as Delivery note related billing and would like to change the qty at the point of billing；
3、Enter the Delivery note number Do not Press Enter, Then Click on u201Cselection listu201D, however , the field of "open quantity" is in greyed out mode !
In SAP R/3 ECC6.0 ,In transaction VF01 put the Delivery note NO. and before entering or executing go to "selection list" and we will find the quantities in editable mode and we can change there and then execute billing,but in AFS,the field of "open quantity" is in greyed out mode ! I asked a lot of friends in AFS, they also have this problem!
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Contrary to others IS (retail, oil etc...), AFS has been almost fully redesigned in some areas. That's why SAP releases first EHP business functions for standard and then try to enhanced the new created features later in AFS EHP.
In regards to the change of the billing quantity, from my prospective this is not supported. Quantity always comes from preceding document.
AFS is implemented in many industries like workwear, fashion high fashion, sportwear, underwear, bags etc...However I never got the same requirement to change the billing quantity.
For which reasons do you need to change the billing quantity ? Can this be done in the sales order (in case of debit/credit memo request) or in the delivery ?
The billing area has some restrictions, such as doing a pricing redetermination, in AFS it must be done in the sales order for example.
You could potentially ask SAP and see whether an advanced modification could be provided (this is chargeable).
Hope this might help.

Mehdi

10.6.5 upgrade issue: folders with non-standard chars in names unusable

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my XServe (2 x dual-core 2Ghz Xeon; 10Gb RAM) from OSX Server 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 (and applied several other updates: XCode 3.2.5, iTunes 10.1.1, Safari 5.0.3 and Java 10.6u3). Since the upgrade, I have a new problem whereby some folders shared via both SMB and AFS are unusable over the network.
The problem applies to all folders whose names either (1) contain atypical characters like *, > or /, or (2) begin or end in a space.
These folders are unusable over the network. Some appear, but others do not. Those that appear do not contain any files, even though they contain files when I browse them locally on the server. I cannot copy files into or out of any of the folders, nor can I rename them (remotely).
When I browse the local file system on the server, there are no problems whatsoever - the problems occur only when connected remotely. The problems occur with both SMB and AFS access; I have not tried other protocols.
These folders were heavily used by both Windows and Mac clients prior to the upgrade, and the problems are reliable and reproducible.
The problems are fixed immediately by renaming the files to have more standard names, and they re-occur if I name the folders back. I will encourage the users here to adopt more standard naming conventions, but this is a fairly serious bug that is requiring some tedious workarounds.
Any advice on this problem would be much appreciated!
Regards
Tim

Different OS have different naming conventions. As you notices there are characters the macs will let you use; that the PC will not. And there are also characters the pc can use that the macs can not.

One solution I know of is to batch scan/ rename files on a regular basis. Witch you could automate. to keep from generating lots of support requests. And to compliment this tactic you can educate the staff on file naming.
There are programs that focus on pc/mac compatibility. Basically they try to restrict the mac and pcs from doing any thing that would cause naming convention conflicts. I hear they help reduce the number of naming conflicts.
the other thing is verify the permissions on the share point. make sure no one can create files that other users can not see.
If you find a better solution; I'd love to know.
At least your not on the other side; I have window shares. And mac files can just completely fail to save, or if the file has a resource, the fork might be lost. I like mac shares better; because at least the files will save to the server.

SAP Standard Customizing is missing after the Add-on installation

Dear Experts,
We have an ERP 6.0 EHP4 system and it has been using for a while. We have done an AFS 6.4 Add-on implementation on top of the ERP system.
We have a configuration only client 200 on the system and that was already there before we did the add-on installation.
Once the add-on installation is completed, we could see most of the SAP Standard configuration which should come along with the add-on is not there in client 200. But everything is there on Client 000 without any problem.
What could be the problem ? have we missed anything here.
I have found a note : 337623 which ask you to manually populate the configuration using SFW5.
I'm not very clear about this. Should we really do this SFW5 ? or is there any other way that we coul'd get those configurations in to client 200 where we have years old other configurations.
Appreciate of you could kindly give some ideas as to how I should get this problem fixed.
Thanks a a lot in advance.
Best Regards
Kushan

HI Kushan,
This sounds like it might be the correct behavior. When you install an ADD-ON into SAP, the install process does not know which client you have saved your default customization settings into so it is likely going to put these into client 000 or 001.
Does that help?
