Steps for Varient Configuration

All SAP Gurus,
We want to do varient configuration for few material codes.
Varient will be only one (eg: colour).
What are the steps involved in varient configuration?
Regards,

Hi,
Variant configuration is use for the material with different properties like CARS
material is same but only due to the color the selling price will differ
likewise to keep single material with diff characteristics Variant configuration will be used

Steps for Variant Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Can any body tell me step by step procedure for variant configuration.
My e-mail id. <REMOVED>

Hi Sumit,
Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products. The manufacturer always has to offer new variants of its products. Often, new variants are created by modifying existing product designs as you process the order. The important thing is to react quickly to customers' requirements.
The customer determines the features of the product. A customer buying a car, for example, can choose the features of the car and combine these features as required.
The product configurator improves information exchange between sales, engineering, and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the mark.
Procedure -
Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
Create Characteristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment i.e. assign Zbikclass.
Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition) (For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put
together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced
from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the
mark.
Integration
Variant configuration is integrated in the following applications:
a.. CA Classification
b.. LO Material Master
c.. PP Bill of Material
d.. PP Routings
e.. PP-PI Master Recipes
f.. SD Sales
g.. SD Conditions
h.. MM Purchasing
i.. CO Costing
j.. PP Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
k.. PP Production Orders
You can configure the following objects:
a.. Materials
b.. Standard networks in the Project System.
c.. PM General maintenance task lists
d.. Model service specifications
Features
You do not need to create a separate material for each variant of a product in your
company. You can use one configurable material to cover all variants. You create a
super BOM and a super routing for this material, containing all the components and
operations for producing all variants of the product.
To define the features of a configurable material, you use characteristics. To
enable you to use characteristics to configure a material, you assign the material
to a class of class type 300. Possible characteristics of a car, for example, are
model, country, color, and engine. The customer can choose from among different
options for each characteristic (values).
The only limitations are combinations of features that are not possible for either
technical or marketing reasons. You cannot combine all types of car engine with all
types of transmission, for example, or certain types of upholstery are only
available for more expensive models. In Variant Configuration, you use dependencies
to control this. This prevents combinations of options that are not allowed.
Dependencies also select exactly the right BOM components and operations to produce
a variant.
Each configurable object must have a configuration profile. The configuration
profile for a material controls the configuration process in the sales order.
You can make the price of a variant dependent on the characteristic values assigned
(Pricing). You can use variant conditions to define surcharges and discounts for a
variant.
For variants that are required frequently, you can create material variants, which
can be produced without a sales order and kept in stock. When you receive a sales
order, you can check whether the variant required is in stock, so that you can
deliver immediately.

Varient configuration & batch management

Dear all,
How varient configuration is related with MM,Which are the related T-codes for it .How it is configured.
What is difference between material maintainance through varient configuration & Batch management.
Is it possible to maintain material by above options.
Regards,
Nitin Patil.

hi
Varient configuration & batch management are have diffrent use
Varient configuration is use for the material with diffrent properties like CARS
material is same but only due to the color the selling price will differ

POST Installation steps for SAP XI 7.0 SP06

Hi Experts ,
We are trying to install XI 7.0 SP06.We are suppose to carry out post installation
steps but we are not able to locate a proper post installation guide for the same.
We have succesfully installed XI 3.0 earlier .However XI 7.0 post installation steps in the guide that we have "SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+Java on Windows: Oracle" , are relatively less...
Nevertheless, we have carried out the following steps
5.21.1 Performing PI-Specific Steps for SLD Configuration
Local and Central System Landscape Directory (SLD)
Mapping Security Role to User
1. Log on to the Visual Administrator of the J2EE engine of the SLD host.
2. Choose Cluster® Server® Services® Security Provider.
3. In the Runtime tab, choose Policy Configurations and then the column Components, and select the component
sap.com/com.sap.lcr*sld.
4. Switch to the Security Roles tab to display the assigned roles.
5. Select role LcrInstanceWriterLD.
The user SLDAPIUSER already exists with its security role LcrInstanceWriterLD.
6. Switch to edit mode and add user PIAPPLUSER with the same role LcrInstanceWriterLD.
Note
For a central SLD, the user PIAPPLUSER must be created in the central SLD ABAP system first and be
assigned to ABAP role SAP_XI_APPL_SERV_USER. The password must be same as in the XI Exchange
Profile on the XI Integration Server.
Note
For information on the UME actions, see the Post-Installation Guide - SLD of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, section
Configuring SLD Security, at service.sap.com/sld® Media Library.
Maintaining SLD Connection Parameters (ABAP API)
1. Log on to the SAP XI Integration Server System as user DDIC and call transaction SLDAPICUST. The screen
Maintain SLD Access Data is displayed.
2. Choose Display <-> Change and proceed as follows:
a) Replace the existing SLDAPIUSER with PIAPPLUSER user.
Note
For a central SLD, make sure you use the user with security role LcrInstanceWriterLD.
b) Make sure your entry is marked as Primary.
Note
Only the entry marked as Primary is active.
c) Save your settings.
April 10, 2006 PUBLIC 97
Now we don't know wether the sld configuration is over or not ...or for that matter in RWB we see only J2se based adapter engine and not J2ee based adapter engine...
Kindly help

Hi..
Instaed doing this,please try out template based configuration which has been mentioned in the installation guide or else do as follows
1.Login into NWA (netweaver administrator)
as
http://<host.<domain>.<com>:<port>/nwa
2.Use J2ee_admin user id and password
3.go to deploy and change
4.select template based configuration for PI
5.execute the template
6.install it
you can find the list of other templates which are clear and easy to do the post installation step..i found it useful ..
Apart from these, as per sandro, you can check the data transfer in visual administrator or go the abap engine, transaction RZ70, press accept proposal button
then execute button , check the data supply without any error
Thanks

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Errors in few of the step while running configuration wizard for PI 7.0

hi all,
i have installed Netweaver 2004s (PI 7.0) quality. during installation i had chosen sld option to be my development system as i wanted to use just single SLD.
now for the post installation steps i had run Configuration wizard. i haven't yet implemented Note : 939592 : PI Usage configuration versus Central SLD as it says first i need to perform all CTC steps.
now in this i got error in few steps:
STEP1 : PI_00_This wizard will execute Postinstall steps of technical configuration for the PI Usage
the error was: CIM_ERR_FAILED: Object manager is not activated
PI_05_This wizard will configure the integration server for sld.
The error was:
Error: CIM_ERR_FAILED: User credentials are invalid or user is denied access
PI_09_This wizard will configure Role of Integration server
Not able to load function SXMB_SET_ROLE_TO_IS( Connect to SAP gateway failed).
What should i do?
Regards,
Priyanshu Srivastava

Hi Priyanshu,
"Object manager is not activated" simply means, that the SLD server is not started. So, please, first of all navigate to the SLD URL http://<host>:<httpport>/sld, login with an administrative SLD user -> Admininstration and push the star button.

Steps involved to Configure a Smartform for printing TO Item

Hi,
I want to develop a Smartform to print TO for each Item.
Currently it is being done using SAP Script.
I checked the Configuration in OMLV and assigned my print program Z****** .
This thing here is I don't see any values passed to my program like TO Number, Whse Number etc when called through LT31.
Where as I assign the standard program RLVSDR40 and debug it all the details are being passed to this program.
I am not sure if I am missing any configuration.
Please help me to figure out the issue and let me know all the steps involved in configuring the Smartforms to print Transfer Orders.
Thanks in Advance.
MK.

Hi Murali,
The SAP delivers the solution to print the TO item by SAPScript, but we can do it by Smartform as well, as in
You need to create a project for the enhancement MWMD0001, because EXIT_RLVSDR40_001 will fulfill your purpose of doing it the other ways i.e. via Smart from.
For this you have to use CMOD transaction to create the project for the above said enhancement.
Note: If you do this way any configuration done via OMNU wont't be considered.
Then after in teh import parameters you have a table XRLDRI, which contains both the warehouse number and the transfer order number, the same can be passed on to the designed Smartform to fulfill your purpose.
Sample Code, you can refer to:
*local variable declaration.
   DATA: l_wa_fm_name            TYPE rs38l_fnam.
* Local Field Symbols
   FIELD-SYMBOLS : <l_fs_rldri> TYPE rldri.
* Local Constant declaration
   CONSTANTS : lc_fmname TYPE tdsfname   VALUE 'XYXYXYXY', "Smartform name, here designated by 'XYXYXYXY'
               lc_chk      TYPE rldrudruck VALUE 'X'.
*Moving Transfer Order Print :Item level data into corresponding work area.
   LOOP AT xrldri ASSIGNING <l_fs_rldri>.
* Determine smartform function module
     CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
       EXPORTING
         formname           = lc_fmname
       IMPORTING
         fm_name            = l_wa_fm_name
       EXCEPTIONS
         no_form            = 1
         no_function_module = 2
         OTHERS             = 3.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
* Call the function module of the smartform
       CALL FUNCTION l_wa_fm_name
         EXPORTING
           user_settings    = lc_chk
           tanum            = <l_fs_rldri>-tanum
           lgnum            = <l_fs_rldri>-lgnum
         EXCEPTIONS
           formatting_error = 1
           internal_error   = 2
           send_error       = 3
           user_canceled    = 4
           OTHERS           = 5.
       IF sy-subrc = 0.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
   ENDLOOP."LOOP AT xrldri ASSIGNING <l_fs_rldri>.
Please validate the same at your end and let me know in case you require any further inputs from my end.

ECM 11.1.1.5.0 - need steps for SSO integration and configuration

Hi,
I want to upgrade recent UCM 10g to ECM (or Webcenter Content) 11g. I passed via upgrade process and it looks it is working fine. Need some validation, but basically upgrade went fine.
But I lost SSO (Windows Login) functionality, asi this ECM 11g is weblogic based and uses a bit different authentication than old version.
My current test instance setup is:
Oracle database 11gR2
Weblogic 10.3.6.0
Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite (ECM) 11.1.1.5.0
All running on the same linux machine
Currently I am only able to:
- define static users / groups in the weblogic's default authenticator
- define ldap authenticator in weblogic which can authenticate users defined in ldap
And I need to make it SSO capable (meant once user is authenticated in our windows domain, then when using Internet Explorer there is no need to enter user/password anymore)
I read some documentation and there they claim Oracle Identity Management / Access Manager is the right solution. But I do not know how to properly install and configuration of this.
Is there anybody here in this world who would provide some simple steps what needs to be done for enabling SSO for ECM 11.1.1.5.0 ?
When I read oracle documentation I am finding it to be written too much in general with too many referencing to too many other documents... I am searching for some kind of simplified installation guide for getting this SSO thing working.
Anybody here who could support me?

Hi
Steps for integration SSO (be it OAM or Oracle SSO or AD / LDAP etc ) the steps remain same except for one .
1. On WLS create the identity store provider .
This can be OID Authenticator , AD Authenticator , LDAP Authenticator depending on what you are using to store the users and their roles /groups etc .
2. Create SSO Identity Asserter .
This should be either AD Asserter (in case of using AD) , OAM Identity Asserter (if using OAM) , SSO Asserter (if using OID based SSO solution) .
3. Order the providers created in the following order and the respective flag settings :
Identity Asserter - REQUIRED
Identity Store Provider - SUFFICIENT
Default Authenticator - SUFFICIENT
After this is created stop UCM and WLS .
Start WLS admin , once it is up and running start UCM server .
Go to WLS - Security Realm - myrealm - Users and groups and verify the right set of users are seen with their correct groups .
Now launch UCM server and depending on which SSO solution is used the login page will vary where in the SSO user id / pwd can be entered .
Hope this helps .
Thanks

Configuration steps for split valuation

Dear Gurus,
I have completed following steps in MM configuration.
A.Defining Enterprise structure
A1. Defining controlling areas
A1. Defining Plants
A3. Defining Storage Locations for Plants
A4. Defining Purchase Organization
A5. Assigning Purchase Organization to Plants
A6. Assigning Plants to company code
A7. Assigning purchasing organisation s to company code
A8. Assigning purchasing organisation s to plant
A9. Creating Purchase Groups
Now I am facing problem in Split evaluation.I am not able to create create valuation class & valuation type.
What is the role of split valuation ?
What are the configuration steps for split valuation?
Can anybody guide me on this/
Thanks & regards,
NB

Hi NB
A fruit company is importing apple from America & Europe. The price of apple imported from America is Rs.10 per Kg. The apple imported from Europe is Rs.15 per Kg. How do they maintain material master for Apple with two prices..?
A chemical factory produces methanol. The cost of methanol produced internally is Rs.20 per liter. But due to high production they purchases methanol from outside at Rs.30 per liter. How do they maintain material master for methanol with two prices..?
Petrol bunks have different varieties of petrol. Hi speed petrol costs Rs.52 and ordinary petrol costs Rs. 47. How do they maintain material master for petrol with two prices..?
If your answer is to maintain two material codes i.e. one for apple-America & one for apple-Europe then you are wrong. If your answer is Split Valuation, then you are right.!
Steps:
We have to activate split valuation if you want to use split valuation. But by default split valuation is Active.To activate the split valuation:
tcode OMW0.
To differentiate between material stocks, you must define valuation category and valuation type.
The valuation category specifies which criterion should be used as the basis for differentiating between the various partial stocks.
The valuation type specifies an individual characteristic of a partial stock.
Go to tcode OMWC, create global types, then global category. assign global types to global categ. and then attach them to valuation area(plant).

It has been directly moved to 16-th step(setup Time and region). Then i tried to finish installing it. But in working with it, i recognized that Network card had been not found( i use NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter). I typed some command in console shell :
$netstat -in

and received only one row like above.
i have tried some times , but not succeeded
2)Port USB is also not working
Please help me. Thanks a lot !!!

Steps for configuring Outbound Idoc OILSHI01

Hi experts,
    can anybody tell me the steps how to configure an Outbound IDOC.
    It is better if somebody can take Shipment IDOC of IS-Oil - OILSHI01.
    if not anything else will also do.
    Kindly give me steps in detailed. Since i have never done this. Including
    distribution modle (BD64). in which case it generates the Automatic Partner
    profiles.?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Umesh
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 21, 2008 3:08 PM

Hi Umesh,
Sorry for the late reply. Let me clear your couple of misconceptions first.
Every idoc is an application idoc. That is, if an idoc is not attached to any application, then it doesnt make business sense to generate that idoc.
Secondly, an idoc is outbound or inbound depending upon its communication direction w.r.t. the sender system. If the idoc is going out from lets say R/3 system (where you are creating distribution model), then its an outbound idoc and if its coming inside, then its inbound idoc.
Now the further steps:
Since its a transactional data idoc, we dont generally go for change pointer activation. Kindly read the documentation to get more idea (if you dont have any then send me your mail id, i will send you a very good document). For transaction data, we use output type to trigger an idoc. Following are the steps to trigger an outbound idoc through output type.
However, remember that in this case, you need help of your functional consultant at every point so that you can clearly determine your application definations and configuration.
1. Go to transaction NACE. There you can see all the generic applications listed. Find out the one relavant to your idoc type from the functional person. If you select your relavant aplication, and click on the "Output types", you will see a list of all the output types for each business transaction defined for that application.
2. Again, ask your functional consultant, as to which output type is configured for your business transaction. Select that output type and go to "Processing routines".
3. There you will be able to see different ways in which the idoc can be triggered. Most of the time , we use processing routine "A (Distribution (ALE))". There you will also see the report which will trigger the idoc.
4. All the above mentioned customization is to be done by the functional consultant (or by technical after strictly seeking the permission). Once the output type is set, you go to the business application (IS-oil) which is triggering your idoc.
There, you will see the option of generating delivery (or something similar, again only the person who has worked on the application can tell that). there you can populate the idoc.
Once the idoc is populated by the application, there are couple of ways of triggering the idoc.
     a. trigger the idoc on saving the doucment. this triggers idoc as soon as you save the idoc.
     b. Collect for mass processing. For this you need to run the report RSNASTED after the idocs are populated to trigger them.
     c. Collect for application specific posting. For this , you need to know the transaction, specific to your business data to trigger the idoc and all you need to do is just run that transaction.
Hope you got the points mentioned above. Kindly go through them carefully and then give me your mail id. I will send you one good document which will clear your understanding.
Hope this was helpful.
