Strock transfer process - Automating the document creation/flow

Hi,
I am working on an implementation of ECC6 where the client has a requirement to automate creation of many of the system documents.
We are following the standard SAP BBP J51: Internal Procurement (Stock Transfer With Delivery). To summarise the BPP, the following process is followed:
Stock Transfer (Purchase) order is created -> Outbound delivery is created with ref to the PO -> Picking/Goods Issue is done by the sending plant against the Outbound Delivery -> Inbound delivery is created -> Goods are Goods Receipted into the receiving plant.
Our client has a requirement that the process is done as follows:
- PO/Stock Transfer (ST) is manually created when a ST is required.
- On Saving of the ST, the Outbound Delivery is automatically generated by the system with reference to the PO/ST.
- The Picking is done and the Goods Issued.
- On saving the Goods Issue, the inbound Delivery is created with reference to the outbound delivery or PO/ST (or creation can be done at the same time as the creation of the Outbound Delivery).
- Goods Receipt is then manually completed by the receiving plant and the process is complete.
After searching various forums, I have found some people say it can only be done through ABAP customisation and and others who say that from version ECC6 onwards it can be done via SPRO config. The instructions I have found on how to do this via Config were unclear and I was unable to get the process working. I have been unable to find any information on this through help.sap.com or OSS notes.
If anyone is able to provide the steps required to set this up or a link to reference documents i can use to find the answer, it would be much appreciated. Please advise if you need more info.
Thanks

Process Automation and Recipe Creation Advice Needed

Hi all,
I'm new user of LabVIEW working on a process automation project.
The process involves a syringe pump, two temperature controllers, and an 8 channel Mass Flow Controller (with 6 process gases and a Mass Flow Meter attached). All of these devices are connected via RS-232 -->USB and need to be controlled by LabVIEW.
I've created a VI that allows for manual control over these devices from a single screen, but am not sure how to proceed from here to an automation scheme. I'd like for the user to be able to create and run recipes (with the option of loading previous recipes or saving current ones).
My current idea for each step in the recipe goes a little like this:
1) User selects device to be altered in the current step
2) User selects desired parameter change (temperature setpoint, flow rate, etc)
3) User selects condition on which step occurs (time delay, temperature reaches a specific value, etc)
4) User adds step to recipe sequence
I've read several other posts here about recipe creation using string tables, but have yet to see a working version's block diagram.
I'm not sure how I should control each device (subVIs, states, whatever), or how to use a table to set a sequence of events in motion.
Please help!
Thank you.

Hey Shawn,
I'd definitely recommend a state machine for this behavior. Here is an example that might help you get up and running. The file is missing the typedef for the steps, but you should be able to use this as one idea for how you could base this. Essentially you could have the File IO aspect be a list of 'steps' that are saved (in array form) by your user. If there are specific parameters that go along with them, you could figure out how to include this information in the file as well. This method is pretty slick, and is nice an expandable. The only tricky part would be to handle the additional data changes for the temperature setpoint and flow rate, etc). You could possibly do this with a 2D array and have the first dimension be the step, and the second dimension be the values, etc. Just an idea.

Item in Transfer Process - Follow on documents status not displayed

Hello experts,
User created a shopping cart of 12 line items (out of that no 3rd is deleted) and PO is created in backend r/3 system.
Now when i see the status of my last item ie 12th line item is "Item in Transfer Process". and for 3rd item which is deleted for that also Status shown PO NO (I1113) i can see that PO no is there when i check follow on document.Problem is i want to change the status of 12th line item with its respective PO no .
Activity done by me to solve
If i manually update the status in the table CRM_JEST then the status will get changed but the follow on document is not displayed evenafter run reports like CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and Get status2. i am trying to run a report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED but it got cancelled. even i tried to run a function module BBP_PD_SC_RESUBMIT but short dump will come. i have implemeted a suggested SAP note 729967 but still problem persist.
In BBP_PD and in table BBP_PDBEI field ( BE_OBJECT_ID ) in this field Ponumber is there against that line item.
Thanks
Sunny Sharma

Hi Sunny,
the manual action taken on the transfer is dangerous and can cause even more inconsistency.
Hence you may have changed some tables of the SC manually, I would suggest rather to delete SC items, and create a new SC for them.

Automating the Datastores creation using ODI SDK's in ODI 11g.

Hi Team,
We have a requirement in which structure of the Datastores to be reverse engineered is attached in the .csv file below. Please give a solution to reverse engineer the datastores reading them from the .csv file. Also, Please find the file "ODI_SDK_MODEL_DATASTORES.groovy" in which I have created the Datastore using the ODI SDK's but datastore names are hard-coded inside the groovy script. Please use this file as a reference and re-write the code for datastore creation in such a way that it reads the datastore, column and datatype names at the runtime from the .csv file and creates the datastore dynamically.
I have attached the needed files below.
Thanks a ton in advance!!!
Best Regards,
Shivesh.

I'll be very surprised if anyone will write the code for you. This is a discussion forum not a free resource for producing code. People will be willing to help point you in the right direction or help you if you hit an unusual issue. As you have done some of the work with the SDK you should be able to extend this to meet your requirements with a bit of research and trial and error.
If this is too much, it may be worth considering hiring and experienced consultant to help you with your more difficult requirements.

A failure occurred in the document conversion process

A failure occurred in the document conversion process. The document cannot be viewed at this time.
No matter what I can not view attachments. jpg will render, but it seems like nothing else will be.
I do not see Document Viewer Agent (DVA) as a service in GW 2012 (OES2 SLES10)
Seb

I am having the same issue, but only with wav files.
I can click on the <filename>.wav link and open the attachment fine in a selected program, but if I select the "Play" link, the window switches back to the login page with "[962D] A failure occurred in the document conversion process. The document cannot be viewed at this time" displayed underneath.
Any ideas what this could be?

SO from PO Process automation

hi,
I have a scenario when i have to a process automation of SO creation after PO generation.
The client is same, so i think we cannot do this with ALE right ?
I think i'll have to use exits or BDCs for this.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks & Regards
Megha

Thanks Martin
But my question now is that if i cannot configure in ALE Distributiion model since the sending and recieving system is same, how can i send IDOC ?

Solved my problem - random files dropped or corrupt in transfer process

Ok, problem for me similar to some others I've seen so I'll post it here: sporadic NEF files transferred with Bridge CS4 are unreadable about 1 in 20. Looking at the problem file itself, it's size is 0 bytes like the transfer process made the file, but didn't put the data into it. NEF's are still fine on the camera or cardreader. I have isolated this problem to Bridge only on the following computer while transferring JPEGs or NEFs from different cameras, cards, readers. Sometimes I'll also get random filenames with no extension as well. CaptureNX2 and explorer "drag and drop" work fine.
Windows XP 64bit
4GB RAM
2xHD RAID 0
3.0 GHz AMD
Bottom line, after a lot of experimenting, I could lessen the amount of errors that bridge made by turning down my processor. Going with that, I isolated some BIOS features and found the "cool and quiet" feature (which changes the CPU multiplier based on system load) as the problem. Now, with that feature disabled I can get 100% transfers with the system running at full speed. I would say by reading many of these threads that there are similar features on a lot of newer AMD and Intel systems that seem to not play very well with Bridge.
I know not exactly the same problem you may have, but maybe some insight to a larger issue with that function in Bridge/ACR/LightRoom

Hello and welcome to the Forums.
DBFixit by Pimlico software can be a god send at times trying to find and fix corrupt data. Although by Palms standards it is considered 3rd party software we cannot support it, but let me tell you we recommend it all the time to our customers with data issues. It is designed to work on Palm OS's and does a great job. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Cancel the material document creation process

Hello Experts
I am having the requirement where i have to check for some custom validations before posting the material document. If those validation fail, material document should not be created.
i tried that by finding suitable user-exit or BADI for MIGO but it seems every user-exit or BADI gets fired after material document is created. What i am looking at is when we 'Check' the document it should also include our custom validations.
I have implemented the similar scenario for PO creation.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rajeev

It is a mess! when the delivery is reversed, the user should have used correct reversal date. Now you can't cancel the material document. Consult MM specialist to add the quantity in the past period and off-set the same in the current period.
On a second thought, check with your accounting if you PGI in the current period as the reversal and new PGI happened in the current period, which off-sets the entry in accounting.If they are OK, then you need not bother about this.

SC Item in Transfer process active - follow on document status not updated

Hi Gurus,
    Follow on document is not updated in SRM after PO creation. Ours is classic scenario (SRM 5.5, ECC6.0) and passed thru the following steps - SC (FFT) created, document approved, sent to SoCo, purchaser assigned vendor and created PO, PO created in ECC.
In SRM SoCo screen displays message 'PO created 45xxxxxxxxxx' successfully. Checked the BE PO 45xxxxxxx that was created successfully.
Ran BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP jobs. jobs finished successfully. But status is not updated in SRM. RZ20/SLG1 does not have any errors.
BBP_PD shows following statuses:
     I105   Awaiting Approval         X
     I1021 Created
     I1038 Complete
     I1106 SC ordered
     I1129 Approved
     I1111 Item in Transfer process
                    The last status I1111 is still active.
Any advise are welcome. Not sure if I am missing any OSS Notes.
Regards
Viktor Paul

Hi,
1. Check in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB if the entry exists use CLEAN_REQREQ_UP program.
2. If entry in the table not exists then check in transaction BBP_PD if the follow on document ( PO ) Number reserved for
the SC .. then use FM BBP_PD_SC_RESUBMIT.
3. none of these use normal process execute BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER And then use CLEAN_REQREQ_UP

Error:-document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible

Hello,
While doing confirmation of PO I am getting this error, saying "document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible".
can anyone please suggest me solution on this type of error?

Hi,
Is the PO in ORDERED status? Is there any confirmation posted for this PO which might be stuck (idoc failed to reach back end)?
If it is a case of idoc failure, then reprocess the idoc and then do the next confirmation.

MRao

Activating the IDOC Creation Process

How or Where should I configure that an IDOC needs to be created followed by the Creation of the application document?
Thank You.

Hi Jenni,
you need help of your functional consultant at every point so that you can clearly determine your application defnitions 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 which is triggering your idoc and assign the output type & process it.
Also, you can configure the output type so that it will be created and processed automatically once the document is created. you can check with your functional consultant for the same.

IDOC user exit to update the document flow of the delivery

Hi all,
Scenario:-
There is an inbound idoc for delivery through which the delivery is getting posted ...while reprocessing the idoc (BD87) i need to update the dates on document flow of the delivery. The date to be updated is coming from the idoc.
I have the function module(RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW_UPDATE_U) to update the document flow but i am not sure in which user exit it can be placed. I tried checking for some exits but nowhere i can find the delivery number to which i need to update through the FM.
I am using the standard idoc with the message type as -DELORD and the basic type as 'ORDERS03'.
Kindly provide user exit where i can use the date coming from the idoc (IDOCDATA) and where i can find the delivery no also.
Thanks,
Neslin.
I have closed the other thread there is no more duplication.

I already checked VEDA0001, but the tables for the delivery is not getting populated as it is processing through BD87(Reprocessing Idoc). Is it advisable to use the export import parameter?. Exporting the idoc data from any of the user exit in VEDA0001 and importing it in some other exit where the vbeln is available.?
Thanks,
Neslin.

Where can I find the documents for disassembly process?

Dear all,
    I have a problem now. There's a finished product A. Materials B and C are its components. Now material A needs to be disassemblyed into B and C. B can be reused, but C will be scrapped.
   Where can I find the detail documents for disassembly process?
   Thank you.
Paul

Paul,
From your explaination, I think you need to map your disassembly process with the help of production order scenario.
Create order for material B. Component for that would be material A. No need to maintain material C as it is already consumed for material A.
Let me explain me in details.
You have cretaed order for A, you have done goods issue of B & C on the same order. You have done GR for A on the same order.
The costing you have achieved on the order.
Now for some reason you need to disassemble the A.
You create order for B, issue the A to this order. Not to take inot consideration the C as it is already consumed on A.
In SAP scrap does not carry any cost. Still you want to take into account the scarp then either do the GR with movement type 531 with any of the code.
But before that some of the things you need to take into consideration.
1. Material type of B has to be semifinished, to eanble the creation of order against that.
2. Create the special order type for disassembly process.
3. Maintian the special BOM usage if B has one primary BOM in the system or else you need to edit the component overview everytime you create the disassembly order.
Refer the link of mine to have the clear idea.
Re: Two BOMS for a Single material
Hope this helps you.

Proforma invoice number is not in the document flow of the order.

Hi all,
I have a doubt , if i create an proforma invoice based on order, and after that i create delivery and billing, i cannot able to see the proforma invoice in the document flow of the particular order. pls guide me on this
Thanks all
Kumi

Hi,
Goto VTLA, and check the UPDATE DOCUMENT FLOW in the copy control
If it is already set , then directly from sales order you can find the Proforma invoice .
Goto the sales order in VA02 and enter into the overscreen and from there check the document flow ( F5), now you can see the Proforma invoices.
