Substitution rules at save

Hello all,
We are currently working with SAP PPM 4.5, and we are facing one issue: our projects are really integrated with SAP PS (structures & planning costs), and we would like to set up substitution rules at save to update some cProjects fields, depending on other entries or custom rules. However, when I look at DPR_ATTRIBUTES badi, both methods "check" and "verify" have only input structures, and not changing ones... So where can we really update the data at save?
What's more, the goal is to be able to update any entry at any level in the project stucture, for instance a task field updated from a phase/project one.
Thank you for your help.
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I feel that 'verify' can serve the purpose for you.
As far as I can recall there are parameters IS_ATTRIBUTES_OLD and IS_ATTRIBUTES_NEW by which you can compare the old value and the updated value.

Again I guess here you need to check the value of FLT_VAL, which determines the Object Category of the data you are processing.
If it is a Project( DPO) or a Phase (PPO), you can run the standard BUS21 series function modules to update the project elements.
This solution approach is just based on my current thought process and you may need to re-look it again. Approaches suggested from other users are appreciated.
Please let me know if this helps you.

Substitution rule has to triggered after save document in FB70 and FB75

HI,
I have a substitution rule for REFNR field and that will trigger when you make FB70 and FB75 for 2 company codes. In the user exit for subustitution we have a code to get the next object number for some other purpose. because third party will use this generated next number for their legal requirement.
The real problem comes this substitution rule is triggered before save document. due to this if i came back from the transaction without saving the document I am losing that generated number which i dont want.
I need some tips on this. is there a way in the substituion settings we will trigger this exit at save document.
I would appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards
PRasad

Hi Rob,
I would like to know.
call point 001 is document header
call point 002 is document item
call point 003 is complete document.
I am assuming 003 triggers after complete the document.
Any clue on this.

Substitution Rule for Payment Term

Hi Expert,
I have to have Substitution for payment term the following criteria:
Company Code = '1000' AND Document Type = 'L1' AND Posting key = '14', then ... substitution bseg-zterm with certain payment term.
Problem: there is no substitution for bseg-zterm.
I read the post at http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/substitution-rule-for-payment-term-489202
and found that I need to apply a SAP note 42615 in order to enable the BSEG-ZTERM field in Substitution Rule for Payment Term, and after that run Program RGUGBR00 to regenerate the substitution.
But, problem again, our SAP is ECC 6.0, and the said SAP note is not applicable.
Kindly advise is there any other way that I can enable the bseg-zterm field at substituion.
Thanks,
sbmel

Hi
1. Go to SE16N and enter Table GB01
2. Enter &SAP_EDIT in the command prompt i..e the space where you type your T code and press enter
3. BCL TAB = BSEG and Field = ZTERM... Execute
4. Remove the X for the field BEXCLUDE.. SAVE....
5. Select this entry and menu Table > Transport > Include in tr request
6. Run RGUGBR00

Payment Block in Substitution Rule

I' created a Substitution rule to block particular vendor invoices at callup point 2 when they are entered in the system. At some point in time, I need to unblock these vendor invoices in order to make a payment. When I unblock the invoices, my substitution rule keeps blocking the invoices again. What do I need to do to only have my Substitution Rule work at the time of invoice entry?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK I am not sure your processes you currently use.
Do you use MIRO or FB60.
You could JUST add the tcode to your rule if you new the tcodes you used to create the vendor postings.
Please consider Vendor credits as well, do they block as standard?
Anyway I guess you have a rule that says something like if doc type is "KR" then add a payment block. What you need to do now if you know ALL of your doc types is say, if the doc type is "KR" and the tcode is "MIRO, FB60" then add payment block.
That way when you go to change the payment block in FB02 you can save it correctly.
Please assign points if this is useful.

Substitution rule: (CJ20N)Move PROJ-PLSEZ to ANIA-AKTIV based on condition

Hi,
    I am facing problem in creating a substitution rule in t-code OPSN. On project save in CJ20N PROJ-PLSEZ(finish date) is to be moved to ANIA-AKTIV (activation date).
    I am aware of the client specific user exits and i have successfully created a substitution rule for some other fields(Copying standard program RGGBS000 and setting the necessary configuration in SPRO). The problem is that ANIA structure is not available in the program. Could any one please help me out in solving this problem.
Thanks in advance

Substitution rule: ania-aktiv with proj-plsez(t-code: CJ20N)

Hi,
I am trying to create a substitution rule in transaction OPSN. On project save ania-aktiv is to be substituted with proj-plsez based on a condition in t-code: CJ20N.
I am aware of the client specific user exits and i have successfully set substitution rule for another field( Copying standard program into a custom program and setting the configuration in SPRO).
I am facing problem to set substitution rule for ania-aktiv as these fields are not available in the exit. I could populate only PRPS and PROJ fields and not ANIA fields.
Can any one please give a solution for this.
Thanks in advance

I will suggest you to use <b>BADI PROJECTDEF_UPDATE</b>, Method <b>AT_SAVE</b>. Inside your implementation, you can call another function module to update ANIA fields.

Need to bypass Material substitution rule for SO created through RFC

Hello SAP Geniuses,
I have an external process that creates Sales orders using a RFC calling BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
My Users want to create orders for Materials that have substitution rules defined, but they want to bypass these rules when the Sales Orders are created from the external process. Other Users in the same Sales Organization and Distribution Channel need the substitution rule to sell these materials, so config cannot solve this.
I have already tried detecting when VBAP-MATNR NE VBAP-MATWA and calling BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE with the original MATNR, but the same substitution occurs in this FM.
Can anyone point me to a User Exit or BADI that can add flexibility to the Material Substitution mechanism in SD module?

Jack,
You are a genius!
These are the steps I followed to implement this idea:
1) VOFM -> Requirements -> Material determination -> New rule in the 800 series
2) Insert code into rule with SSCR key; Activate code; Activate rule.
3) Run utility program RV80HGEN to create rule in FG V61D -> SAPLV61D -> LV61DNNN -> RV61DNNN -> RV61D8xx
4) SPRO-> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Maintain Prerequisites for Material Determination -> Maintain procedure -> select procedure -> double-click "Control data" -> enter rule into box "Requiremnt". Save.
5) SPRO-> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Assign Procedures To Sales Document Types -> select doc type of interest -> enter procedure name into field "MatDeterm." for doc type. Save.

Substitution Rule in SAP 7.0

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0
What is the meaning and the functionality of u201CFill in for meu201D selection, that can be met in the course of the engaging of the substitution rule?What is the difference between u201CReceive my tasksu201D and u201CFill in for meu201D?
Any pointer will be highly appreciated,
Regards,
Rupesh

Hi,
Receive my tasks means that your taslks will be traasfered to your substitutes for the period determined meaning between start and end date.
Fill in for me means that if you didn't plan to be unavailable (no start and end date), your substitute could take your tasks.

500 internal error in managhe substitution rule in UWL

Hi All,
One user is getting 500 internal error when cklicks on manage substitution rule in UWL.Only one user is facing this problem.
I checked in backend system, so substitute exists.
Can some body help me what could be the problem? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Thirun.

Hi Thirun,
This is a common issue and usually has to do if the 'substitutee' for lack of a better word, is no longer a valid user.
4. When there is a substitution rule connecting the current user to a
deleted user, the following problems were discovered:
   - substitution rule management returns 500 browser error;
   - it is not possible to delete a Java Workflow substitution which
refers to a deleted user as assignee;
   - Java workflow connector is not able to retrieve items for user that
has a substitution rule with a deleted user;
   - The "status", "What to do", "assignee" and "Task Owner" fields are
not properly filled in the Manage Substitution Rules view.
Do a search in SAP notes in component EP-BC-UWL and also for your version. Alternatively you can let me know the version here and I can tell you in what release this is fixed in that matches closest to your version. (maybe only a patch required).

Error in Manage Substitution Rules - MSS

Hello Team,
I am working on new Implementation for ESS MSS in ECC6.0 and the country grouping is 99. I am getting error in 'Manage Substitution Rules' in MSS.
When I create the substitution rule, I am getting 'problems Reported' in the 'Rule activation' field.
The detailed message is 'System does not support Substitution methods'.
I tried different options in the rule creation. All gave same error.
I have activated the standard workflow TS12300097 and changed the task to 'General Task'.
Is there anything else I need to do?
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks for your help.

Have you ensured that the source person actually HAS items in their inbox?
Because of the way that task processing occurs you might also want to make sure that the source person hasnt already started processing the item. You should ensure that the task item is "released" in the backend - something as simple as opening the item could cause this. Once you open an item it is locked into your inbox - I dont believe from memory that these can then be substituted to someone else.
If all of that appears OK (and you can actually see the items mixed with your own) then I would suggest you check the properties of the iview and make sure that all "options" (like buttons etc) are turned on. In EP7.0 there is much more control over what is / isnt displayed to the end user. Those facilities (filters) you speak about "should" become visible when you have susbstituted items.

Substitution rule is not working correctly

Hi PS Gurus,
We have a problem in one of the newly created projects that the substitution rule is not working correctly; the data is not copied to the WBS element Cust. Enhancement tab.
Project 1 is working fine and the data is copied & Project 2 and Project 3 are not getting all the data copied to the WBS element,
In that project profile (substitution rule is given), substitution rule is also maintained
So please help why in one project substitution rule in working & other isnu2019t.
Many Thanks in Advance.
MM

Hello Menaka,
Select the WBS element in the project builder.
Cleck on Edit --> Validation Substitution --> Substitution
You will get the list of Substituitions, Double click on the required Substition rule.This action will generate a log, whether substitution has been succesfully caried out or with some error.
Kindly provide us that error log to guide you further.
