Switching on HCM business functions with EHP4

Hello
We have installed EHP4. When trying to activate business functions for talent management using the img, we get a message "no activation necessary".
Does anyone know why this is so and how it can be fixed
Thanks

Thanks Sergio. Can you tell me where the planned column should be located? Is this the same as planned status?
When I open this configuration task, I have a planned status but no planned column.
I have the following
Business Function Set is blank
Under Enterprise Extensions, business function EA-HR is activated and release is showing 600
Under enterprise business functions, the function I am trying to switch on is HCM_TMC_CI_1 (it shows release 604).
The columns I see are: Name; Description; Planned status; Dependencies; Documentation; Release info; Release; SAP Test Catalog; Test Catalog and Activated On
Is it possible that the basis team did not install ehp4 properly?
When I look at system status in the test system it shows the followign for basis and hr
basis 701
ea-hr 604
thanks

Procedure Business Function Activation - How To

Hi all,
i have a customer that just upgraded it's systems to ehp4, our newest available release. He is now asking on a general best practice procedure how business functions should be activated in which client and what needs to be transported or not.
He has a system with a reference client (000) and a customizing client (200). My guess would be:
- Activate all required business functions in client 000.
- Make sure, all BC-Sets have been extracted and activated perfectly.
- Activate all missed BC-Sets manually in client 000.
- Transport all changes to client 200.
- Make sure the transport was performed successfully.
- Activate all required business functions in 200.
Is that the correct approach? I guess BC-Sets containing C-Tables can only be activated in a reference client!?
Thanks. Kay.

Sunny - Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the help. You indicated that if transports do not have objects related to the business function, they may not be affected. That's the crux of my question. I certainly understand if SAP requires matching BF activation for any transports that change config in that area, but want to be sure an upgrade of one piece of functionality is not impacting ALL transports to related systems.
Our main driver for the EHP project is updating functions in FSCM (Dispute Management, Collections, etc). These are the only BFs we're intending to activate at this time. I'll lay out an example of my question:
EHP4 installed in all systems (Dev/QA/Prod). Active Business Functions from EHP4 are only related to FSCM and they are only active in Dev system for unit testing. Now say an issue arises in Prod related to Fixed Assets that requires a config change. The normal method would be config in Dev, followed by unit testing. Transport to QA for integration testing. Finally transport to Prod.
Would this transport go through b/c the config has nothing to do with the new business functions activated or would the transport not move to QA b/c the same BFs were not active in QA that were in Dev?
Hope this helps clarify. It seems SAP would never "back you in a corner" like that and the transport should go through, but I've seen stranger things happen!
Thanks again!

Business Functions Switch to activate Enhancement Package 4

Hi SAP experts,
can you help me?...
We will implement SAP CRM 7.0 with scenario of creation ERP Quations & ERP Sales Orders, therefore we have installed Enhancement Package 4 in our ERP, but I've been looking for information to know which Business Functions (switch) we need to activate for this scenario, but in all documentation I've been looking doesn't indicate this.
Can you let me know wich switches we need to activate or share documentation about this?
Your help is most highly appretiated.
Regards
Gonzalo C.

> We will implement SAP CRM 7.0 with scenario of creation ERP Quations & ERP Sales Orders, therefore we have installed Enhancement Package 4 in our ERP,
So there was any business reason to install EHP4? Who told you? And those people should also be able to tell you what to activate
I'd go through SFW5 and click the "documentation" button next to the functions, this will open a browser window explaining what this function is about.

Creating Switch.
1. in SFW1, Once you create your SWITCH and assign your package and Activate it, it shows in Active mode but the SWITCH is not still Active GLOBALLY.
2. To activate it, create a Bussiness Function in SFW2 and assign your SWITCH to this and Activate it.
2.1 Here if you select the Business Function as type ' INDUSTRY ', then again you need to assign this Business Function to Business Function Set in SFW3.
2.1.1 In SFW3, Create a Business Funstion Set, and assign this Business Function to it and Activate it. But your SWICT is still it not active Globally.
2.1.2 Go to SFW5, and Activate your Business Function Set here, then your SWICT is GLOBALLY ACTIVE
2.2 If your Business Function is of type ' Add On ', then there is no need to assign it to any Business Function Set.
2.2.1 Directly, go to SFW5, click on type ' Add Ons ', and after identifing your Business Function, Activate your Business Function here, then your SWITCH is GLOBALLY ACTIVE.
But the final problem is : Once you activate your SWITCH, there is no other way to deactivate your SWICTH.
Enhancement implementations are switchable.
Steps to assign a switch to BADI Implementation:
1) Assign the Enhancement Implementation containing the BADI implementation to a Package/development class.
2)Assign this Package/development class to a switch in transaction SFW1.
3)Make sure the switch you are using has state ON. For this assign this switch to an ACTIVE business function using transaction SFW2. A switch inherits the state of the business function.
Reward Points if answer is useful.

EHP4 Talent Management business function CA_HAP_CI_1

Hi
We have applied EHP4 and have ECC6 Basis 701 SP6 and HR 604 SP24 and Netweaver EP7.
Has anyone experience of acitivating business function CA_HAP_CI_1.
I have researched this functionality and know of SAP notes 1239427 and 1239426.
It would be most useful if someone could advise on what steps they have taken when activating this business function and what other configuration steps have been done.
I know to activate it is done in the IMG under Activate Business Functions.
Many thanks
Julie

Hi,
This can be activated in SWF5 .Ask basis consultants to activate it.
Cheers

I guess I can't activate these business functions.Am I right?
And I read that only one BF set is activated per one system.I did not find any BF set related to Finance in the drop down list of SFW5 in the system.Please enlighten me on this topic.

Dinakar

> Thanks for your reply,as I mentioned the list of BFs are applicable for the 3 technical usages I had selected during EHP4 upgrade.I need to select out of them.
I understand your question - however, how should anyone else but you know whether you need the functionality behind them? This is a business decision.
I suggest you use the documentation (press on the corresponding "i" in SFW5) to see if the business requires the functionality. If yes, enable it, if not, you don't need to enable it.
Some of those BFs will need a BW/BI to work. You have to decide, whether you need them or not.

Status bar missing in Firefox 6.0, also Real player does not function with updated version, had to switch back to 3.6

I've installed Firefox 6.0 about 3 times and each time I noticed that the status bar at the bottom of the page was missing. I relied upon the Norton Security "lock icon" which in version 3.6 would appear in the lower right hand corner of the status bar before signing in to websites or making transactions and found it very helpful. It was present in version 3.6 but not in 6.0. When I went back to 3.6 I suddenly had problems with the page freezing up so returned to 6.0 which corrected the problem but was not comfortable without the icon. I contacted Norton and via remote access the tech determined that the problem exists with Firefox's 6.0 version so he reinstalled 3.6 for me. Also I have a paid subscription to Real player Plus and it does not function with 6.0. I'm concerned because it seems you will soon phase out 3.6 and I will be without these functions which are important to me.

I have a solution! Follow this link and download the older version. When I installed it, everything came back as it was before! Yay! Good luck to you all. And bad move, Mozilla, in not making it clearer what the system requirements were for the update!!!!

Help on Business Function "Reporting Financials 2" and its impact

Hi All,
I am looking at 'SAP Help' for Reporting Financials 2 (EhP4).
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/6a/cd7dbd74694af3ac13b3c24a10def4/frameset.htm
basically I want to use the standard extractor 0FI_AA_20 FI-AA: Transactions and Depreciation . when i try to run the extractor i get an error saying: Business Function "Reporting Financials 2" is not switched on
In order to use the new data sources the pre requisites are:
1. SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0
2. Activated the Reporting Financials 2 business function.
The EnP4 is already implemented what i have do next is to activate the business function.
Can any one help me with more details on what all gets activated with this business function 'Reporting Financials 2' and its impact.
With Best Regards
Shilpa.

Hi,
in SFW5 you can get an overview over the business functions. There you could activate the appropriate Business Function.
But I would recommend you strongly before to read some information and documentation about business functions and the enhancement package concept.

May be this adds some infor for your query.

Correspondence in e-Recruiting with EhP4

Hi,
We are running ERECRUIT 604 SP3.
I try to create any letter using standard SAP setup, e.g. returning forgotten password HRRCF_CS_EXA_NEW_PASSWORD (one of the simplest one), but the system always returns the same form - HRRCF_CS_IT_APPLICANT (or HRRCF_CS_APPLICANT - I cannot figure it out) - without regard to the setup in the table V77RCF_ACT2FORM.
Up to EhP3 the table V77RCF_ACT2FORM was the place where it was possible to assign a required smartform, also the customized one, to the selected activity. Now I cannot find out where the assignment of form to the activities is done.
Another issue in the new EhP4 is where and how to get an overview of the outstanding correspondence and mass-process it?
Please, anyone has an answer?
Best regards
Beata

Hello Beata,
short version:
use HRRCF_CS_IT_EXA_NEW_PASSWORD
long version:
the reason for you correspondence effect is just a wrong correspondence smartform customized for the activity. So V77RCF_ACT2FORM is the right place to look at.
E-Recruiting started with a correspondence change solution using the BTF editor. Later with 600 there came another solution using include texts. Up to E-Recruiting 600 EhP3 you can choose for simple correspondence and invitation which one you want to use. Therefore you have to set T77S0 RECFA INDCO switch and assign the correct document category to the activity category.
With EhP4 this changes. Only the include text solution is now supported. But now it uses not only a plain text edit but an editor which allows formating of the include texts when changing them.
As it is still the include text solution, the smartforms you use need the interface of the reference smartforms for this solution. These are HRRCF_CS_IT_APPLICANT for simple correspondence and HRRCF_CS_IT_APPL_INVITATION for invitations. If you use a smartform with a wrong interface the system sends the reference smartform instead (no idea why there is not an error message, probably a bad joke :o). So using HRRCF_CS_EXA_NEW_PASSWORD results in sending HRRCF_CS_IT_APPLICANT as it has the wrong interface, HRRCF_CS_IT_EXA_NEW_PASSWORD will work.
for the other question:
When everything was rebuild in WebDynpro SAP accidently "lost" some of the functionality from EhP3 and lower. Due to the huge demand of customers sap will bring the missing stuff with EHP4 SP4 as downgrade from EhP5. Part of it is the recruiter's work center, a dashboard for recruiters. According to the EhP5 documentation for the HCM_ERC_CI_3 business function, this dashboard will include My Planned Activities and My Planned Correspondence Activities. So far I had no possibility to check if SP4 really has this (as this SP is not existing yet officially) but I could verify that a EhP4 SP4 system includes the business function HCM_ERC_CI_3 so it is highly probable that it is there.
Best Regards
Roman
