Steps required for Sender IDOC adapter PI 7.0

Hi all,
My basis guy has installed SAP EHP1 for PI7.0 for handling the idoc packaging(sending idocs in packs)...
Please can any one let me know the further settings required in PI after it has been installed...
and even when i open the sender IDOC in comminication channel in ID i am able to see only 3 options
Transport prtocol, message protocol,Adapter engine...
But i am not able to see the other fields...
Can any one help me...
Thanks and Regards,
sridhar

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply..
I searched for the docs in many ways.. but couldnt find proper information regarding the IDOC packaging with sender IDOC adapter and steps required...
Could you please let me know  if i can get the book in Singapore since our project, because almost 90% interfaces are related to IDOC...
And request you if you can share me the steps required in PI to confirgure IDOC packaging for EHP1...
Regards,
Sridhar Reddy

  • Why do we require Receiver IDoc Adapter wen Sender IDoc Adapter is not req?

    Hi All,
    We require Receiver IDoc Adapter( if the receiving System is R/3 and uses IDoc) but when sending BS uses IDoc, Sender IDoc Adapter is not required since it resides in ABAP  Stack. So, can anyone explain me as why do we need to configure Receiver IDoc adapter?

    Hi,
    Both the sender and receiver IDoc transmission is done by the RFC communication channel.
    In case of the sender IDoc, partner profile configuration in the sender system will tell for a particular IDoc type which port should be used. This port will have the details of the RFC channel to be used to deliver the IDoc.
    However, in case of SAP XI/PI system we don't configure partner profile and hence we need a way to tell which port & RFC destination should be used to deliver the IDoc and hence we define a receiver aggrement and adapter. This is just used as a reference at rutime and unlike the other adapter, this receiver IDoc adapter doe's not process any message over Adapter engine.
    Hope this helps...!!!!

  • Sender IDOC adapter for SAP 3.1H system & XI 7.0

    We are on XI 7.0 and XI would receive a IDOC message from SAP 3.1H system.
    I need to import IDOC's in imported objects in integration repository but I cannot see any IDOC under the IDOC node. I am able to see the RFC's. Do we need to do extra steps with SAP 3.1H version for IDOC adapter?
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Ahmad,
    This thread is for sender RFC adapter. I am able to see the all the RFC's but not IDOC's from Integration repository for imported objects from SAP 3.1H version.

  • Why we r not Creating Sender Agreement For HTTP & IDOc Adapter at Sender .

    Hi Buddy's,
                         Why we r not Creating Sender Agreement For HTTP & IDOc Adapter at Sender .And why we create receiver agreements at receiver side bt not sender agreement at sender side.
    Wat Is GLOBAL Container ?, where it will Occur & wat is the functionality of that.

    Kumar,
    1) XI integrattion server - IS expects the messages in XML format. If you see the HTTP request you will see that we pass all the info contained in the Sender areement in the the HTTP request itself , namely - Message interface, message type and the namespace (along with login parameters). For IDOCs the the IDOC- XML are are sent to the IS (through IDOC port configuration at the source system.
    2) When send a message to XI the sender knows that XI system parameters, but when at the reciver end there could be any any system that is reciving the IDOc/HTTTp message. you specify those message through a commumication channel and this channel is associated to a receiver agreement.
    3) A Global container is like a place holder for variables. You can set a variable here and access it throughout your mapping and hence the name.
    A good example for a gloabal container is a counter to countthe number of records in te target side.

  • Why no sender idoc adapter .

    hi,
         while configuring idoc to file ......... why we are not using sender communication channel or configuring sender idoc adapter ..............
    thanks in advance,
    jp.

    The main use of a sender adapter is to convert the input format into an XI supported XML format. Once this is done, the sender agreement appends the header with the sender details. In the case of IDoc adapter, you would not require a sender agrrement or a sender channel for the following reasons
    1. The adapter resides on ABAP stack hence the integration server takes care of the IDoc to XML conversion without requirement for adapter.
    2. The business system that is sending the adapter has already been assigned to a technical system which normally acts as an Integration server.
    3. In the system, you fill in the adapter specific identifiers where you define under the IDoc adapter, the Logical system name and the R/3 client and the number.

  • Step-by step procedure for INBOUND IDOC (VENDOR CREATE / CHANGE)

    Hi ,
    Can any body provide me the step-by-step procedure for Inbound IDOCS.
    As i'm new to this i need the the clarification between Inbound & outbound idocs.
    How can we differentiate both?
    where to define outbound & where to define Inbound?
    ( If possible Please explain me the procedure for  Vendor Create through INBOUND IDOCS )
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    Ale Technology is SAPu2019s technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
    Outbound Process:
    ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
    1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
    2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
    3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
    4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
    Inbound Process:
    The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
    1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
    2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
    3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
    Over view of IDocs:
    IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
    IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocu2019s definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
    IDoc Types:
    IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
    An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
    i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
    ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
    iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
    Message in IDoc Type:
    A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
    Outbound Process in IDocs:
    Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
    The Customer Model:
    A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
    Message control:
    Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
    Change Pointers:
    The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
    Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
    IDoc Structure:
    A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
    Selection Program:
    Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programu2019s design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
    Filter Objects;
    Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
    Port Definition:
    A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
    RFC Destination:
    The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
    Partner Profile:
    A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocu2019s packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
    Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
    The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
    Process flow for Distributing Transactional Data:
    Transactional data is distributed using two techniques: with Message control and without message control.
    Process flow for Distributing Master Data:
    Master data between SAP systems is distributed using two techniques: Stand alone Programs and Change Pointers.
    Triggering the Outbound Process via Stand-Alone Programs:
    Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another. Standard Programs for several master data objects exist in SAP. Ex. The material master data can be transferred using the RBDSEMAT program or transaction BD10.
    The stand-alone programs provide a selection screen to specify the objects to be transferred and the receiving system. After the stand-alone program is executed, it calls the IDoc selection program with the specified parameters.
    Triggering the Outbound Process via Change Pointers:
    The change pointer technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically when master data is created or changed.
    A standard program, RBDMIDOC, is scheduled to run on a periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and start the ALE process for distributing the master data to the appropriate destination. The RBDMIDOC program reads the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program for a message type.
    Processing in the Application Layer:
    The customer distribution model is consulted to make sure that a receiver has been defined for the message to be transmitted. If not, processing ends. If at least one receiver exists, the IDoc selection program reads the master data object from the database and creates a master IDoc from it. The master IDoc is stored in memory. The program then calls the ALE service layer by using the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, passing the master IDoc and the receiver information.
    Processing in the ALE Interface Layer:
    Processing in the ALE Layer consists of the following steps:
    u2022 Receiver Determination: The determination of the receiver is done through Customer Distribution Model.
    u2022 IDoc Filtering: if an IDoc filter is specified in the distribution model for a receiver, values in the filter are compared against the values in the IDoc data records. If a data record does not meet the filter criteria, it is dropped.
    u2022 Segment Filtering: For each sender and receiver combination, a set of segments that are not required can be filtered out.
    u2022 Field conversion: Field values in data records are converted by using the conversion rules specified for the segment.
    u2022 Version change for segments: Segments are version-controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from the preceding version and fields added for the new version. Release in IDoc type field of the partner profile to determine the version of the segment to be generated.
    u2022 Version change for IDocs: IDocs are also version controlled. The version is determined from the Basic Type field of the partner profile.
    u2022 Communication IDocs generated: The final IDoc generated for a receiver after all the conversions and filtering operations is the communication IDoc. One master IDoc can have multiple communication IDocs depending on the number of receivers identified and the filter operations performed. IDoc gets the status record with a status code of 01 (IDoc Created).
    u2022 Syntax check performed: IDoc goes through a syntax check and data integrity validation. If errors found the IDoc get the status of 26 (error during syntax check of IDoc u2013 Outbound). If no errors found the IDoc gets the status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch u2013 ALE Service).
    u2022 IDoc dispatched to the communication Layer: In the ALE process, IDocs are dispatched using the asynchronous RFC method, which means that the sending system does not await for data to be received or processed on the destination system. After IDocs have been transferred to the communication layer, they get a status code 01 (Data Passed to Port OK).
    Processing in the Communication Layer:
    To dispatch an IDoc to a destination system, the system reads the port definition specified in the partner profile to determine the destination system, which is then used to read the RFC destination. The RFC destination contains communication settings to log o to the remote SAP system. The sending system calls the INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS function module asynchronously on the destination system and passes the IDoc data via the memory buffers.
    Inbound Process in IDocs:
    An inbound process used IDoc structure, posting programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables to post an application document from an IDoc.
    Posting Program:
    Posting programs, which are implemented as function modules, read data from an IDoc and create an application document from it. A posting program exists for each message. Each posting program is assigned a process code. A process code can point to a function module or a work flow. In the standard program process codes always point to a function module.
    Ex. The posting program for message type MATMAS is IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS which has a process code MATM.
    Workflow:
    A workflow represents a sequence of customized steps to be carried out for a process. The workflow management system is used to model the sequence, identify information required to carry out the steps and identify the person responsible for the dialog steps.
    Partner Profile;
    A partner profile specifies the components used in an inbound process (partner number, message type, and process code), the mode in which IDocs are processed (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of errors.
    Process flow for the Inbound process via a Function Module:
    In this process, IDocs are received from another system and passed to the posting function module directly.
    1. Processing in the communication Layer:
    The IDOC_INBOUND_ASYCHRONOUS program, triggered as a result of an RFC from the sending system, acts as the entry point for all inbound ALE processes. The IDoc to be processed is passed as an input parameter. Control is transferred to the ALE/EDI layer.
    2. Processing in the ALE/EDI Interface Layer:
    u2022 Basic integrity check: A basic integrity check is performed on the control record.
    u2022 Segment Filtering and conversion: Filtering out unwanted segments and carry out any required conversion of field values.
    u2022 Creation of Application IDoc: The application IDoc is created and stored in the database and a syntax check is performed. If there are errors it gets status code of 60 (Error during Syntax check of IDoc u2013 Inbound). At this point a tangible IDoc, which can be monitored via one of the monitoring transactions, is created and the IDoc gets status code 50 (IDoc Added).
    u2022 IDoc Marked ready for Dispatch: IDoc gets the status code 64 (IDoc ready to be passed to application).
    u2022 IDoc is passed to the posting program: The partner profile table is read. If the value of the Processing field is set to Process Immediately, the IDoc is passed to the posting program immediately using the program RBDAPP01.
    3. Processing in the Posting Module:
    The process code in the partner profile points to a posting module for the specific message in the IDoc. The posting program implemented as a function module either calls a standard SAP transaction by using the Call Transaction command for posting the document or invokes a direct input function module.
    The results of execution are passed back via the function moduleu2019s output parameters. If the posting is successful IDoc gets the status code 53 (Application Document Posted) or it gets status code 51 (Error: Application Document Not Posted).

  • Assignment IDX1 port to sender idoc adapter ...

    Hi gurus,
    I have a big problem and I don't have any idea how to solve it. Please, help me.
    I have a non-SAP system, regular SAP ERP and SAP XI and I need to transfer IDocs between them.
    There is no problem to send IDoc from ERP to XI and forward it to non-SAP system. Unfortunatelly communication in opposite direction doesn't work. XI is not able to receive IDoc sent from non-SAP system because appropriate metadata can not be found in IDX2 cache.
    In configuration of communication channel for sending IDocs to non-SAP (receiver idoc adapter) I selected IDX1 port that is directed to the ERP and it's worknig fine. I can send IDoc from XI to non-SAP.
    But in configuration of communication channel for receiving IDocs from non-SAP (sender idoc adapter) is not possibility to determine any port. Does exist a way how to force sender idoc adapter to use some specific IDX1 port?
    Thank you in advance for every reply!
    Regards,
    Zbynek

    The IDocs are sent from non-SAP system by means of tRFC. Connection type of the RFC destination is type T (TCP/IP) and activation type is Registered Server Program.
    If we sent the IDoc directly into SAP ERP (where the IDoc Type is known) everything is fine

  • Steps required for cin configuration

    hi,
    can anybody give me the steps required for cin configuration.

    Hi,
    CIN Setting:
    Check Calculation Procedure
    In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
    Standard settings
    Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
    The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
    Note
    In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
    Recommendation
    If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
    Activities
    If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
    Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)
    Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
    Example
    Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
    · Pricing in sales and distribution
    · Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
    · Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
    · Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
    · Account determination
    · Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
    · Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
    · Pricing for resource planning
    Definition: condition type
    Controlling (CO)
    A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
    · Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
    · Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
    In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
    Real Estate Management (RE)
    An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
    Condition types include:
    · Basic rent
    · Advance payment for operating costs
    · Pest control
    Sales and Distribution (SD)
    A characteristic of a condition.
    For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
    Treasury (TR)
    A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
    Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
    Return ->
    Definition: condition_type
    Condition type
    The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
    Access sequence
    With the access sequence you define
    · the condition tables used to access the condition records
    · the sequence of the condition tables
    · which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
    Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
    In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
    Requirements
    Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
    Activities
    1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
    2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
    Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
    In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
    · Tax type
    Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
    · Nondeductibility of tax amounts
    For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
    · Posting indicator
    Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
    · Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
    This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
    Standard settings
    Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
    Recommendation
    Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
    Activities
    If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
    Note
    You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.
    Internal processing key
    The internal processing keys are used by the system to determine accounts or posting keys for line items which are created automatically.
    The processing keys are defined in the system and cannot be changed by the user.

    Definition: excise group
    Financial Accounting (FI)
    A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
    Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
    Return ->
    Definition: excise group
    Maintain Series Groups
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
    Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
    Activities
    · Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
    · Assign series group to excise registration ID
    · If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
    · If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
    Example
    You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
    Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
    Maintain Postal Addresses
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
    You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
    You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
    Definition: ARE-1 document
    Logistics - General (LO)
    A form, in India, that companies have to fill out when they remove excisable goods from their manufacturing plants for export.
    The form exempts them from paying excise duty when they remove the goods from their premises.
    Return ->
    Definition: ARE-1 document
    Definition: ARE-3 document
    Logistics - General (LO)
    A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
    The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
    Return ->
    Definition: ARE-3 document
    Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
    Sub Transaction Type
    Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
    Subcontracting:
    It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
    Excise removals
    Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
    With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
    Select Tax Calculation Procedure
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
    · If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
    · If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
    This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
    We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
    Definition: condition-based excise determination
    Logistics - General (LO
    A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
    This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
    When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
    When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
    Return ->
    Definition: condition-based excise determination
    Definition: formula-based excise determination
    Logistics - General (LO)
    A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
    This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
    When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
    When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
    Return ->
    Definition: formula-based excise determination
    Maintain Excise Defaults
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.

    Classify Condition Types
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
    The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
    In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
    · For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
    · For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
    Standard settings
    The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.

    In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
    If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
    Activities
    Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
    The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
    Example
    Excise TT DC ind Account name
    GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
    GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
    GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
    Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
    When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
    · Excise group
    · Company code
    · Chart of accounts
    Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
    Requirements
    You have already:
    · Defined the G/L accounts
    · Defined the excise groups
    · Maintained the transaction accounts
    Activities
    For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
    Note
    You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
    Define Processing Modes Per Transaction
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
    This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
    Standard settings
    The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
    · J1IEX_C
    This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
    · J1IEX_P
    This transaction is for excise supervisors: they can change, display, cancel, and post excise invoices.
    · J1IEX
    In this transaction, users can capture and post excise invoices, as well as displaying, changing, and canceling them.
    Activities
    If the standard settings meet your requirements, do not do anything.
    Otherwise, you can adjust the standard settings or you can create your own transactions. To do so:
    1. In Maintain Transaction, create a new transaction by making a copy of one of the standard transactions. Give the new transaction a transaction code of your choice.
    2. In this activity, enter data as follows:
    o Tcode: The transaction code that you have just created.
    o Proc. mode: Specify what the users of the transaction will do with the excise invoices.
    o Active: Select this indicator to activate the setting.
    Example
    You might want to create a transaction that only allows users to display excise invoices.
    Define Reference Documents Per Transaction
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify for each combination of transaction and processing mode which reference documents you want the users to be able to use.
    Activities
    If the standard settings meet your requirements, you do not have to do anything.
    Otherwise, add the entries that you need to the table: For each transaction, make one entry per combination of processing mode and reference document. Activate each entry for it to work.
    Definition: excise invoice reference document
    Logistics - General (LO)
    A document, in India, that you refer to when you enter an incoming excise invoice.
    If you have already posted the goods receipt, you can use the goods receipt document as the reference document. Otherwise, you can use the purchase order (or another purchasing document, such as a be a contract or a scheduling agreement).
    Example
    In the SAP System, you create a purchase order for 100 bags of sand and send the order to your vendor. Two weeks later, the vendor delivers the sand, accompanied by an excise invoice.
    When you enter the excise invoice in the system, you specify the number of the original purchase order: this is the reference document.
    Return ->

    Maintain Rejection Codes
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
    Activities
    For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
    Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise InvoicesUse
    In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
    The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
    Note
    This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
    Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
    Activities
    This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
    In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
    Use
    The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
    The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
    Requirements
    Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:

    Return ->
    Definition: movement type
    Utilization Determination
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
    You can either:
    · Debit all the excise duty to one account
    · Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
    Example
    If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
    Acct name BED perc.
    RG 23A BED account 50
    RG 23C BED account 50
    Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
    Acct name BED perc. +
    RG 23A BED account X
    RG 23C BED account X
    When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
    Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
    Activities
    Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.
    Specify SAPscript Forms
    Use
    In this IMG activity, for each of your company codes, you specify which SAPscript forms the system prints the excise registers with.
    Standard settings
    Country Version India includes a number of sample SAPscript forms and printing programs, which you can use as follows:

    From note 455127, I understood that "Sap Internet Mail Gateway" is required and there are other settings to be done. (SAPconnect with RFC can only be used as the Kernel version is 46D)
    It will be great if somebody can explain me in simple steps if He/She has done this before.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    Varun,
    sendmail comes with UNIX OS, there are versions of sendmail programs available for Windows too, but i guess you have to purchase them.
    Another alternative is a discontinued product called SAP Exchange connector, if you have a Windows environment and MS Exchange server as your mail server, you could use a SAP exchange connector and get your SAP Email config done.

  • Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

    Hello experts,
    Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
    I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
    The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
    I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

  • FCC Paramenters for Sender File Adapter

    hi
    I am using FCC in the Sender File Adapter. I have defined the structure as below. Fields ID, Filename, Values will be generated at Runtime as I have defined Used Defined Funtions for Both.
    Only I will Pass the value in Body. i.e "Hello".
    So How should I define the FCC Paramenters For Sender File Adapter ?
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns0:MT_Source_FILE xmlns:ns0="http://city.net/FILEtoHTTP">
       <Message>
          <Id>123456</Id>
          <Head>
             <Id>123456</Id>
             <Filename>sample.xml</Filename>
          </Head>
          <Body>hello</Body>
       </Message>
    </ns0:MT_Source_FILE>
    In the source text file, Do I need to send only "Hello" value because ID and filename will be generated at runtime?
