Using RF for daily plant to plant delivery route

Greetings All,
What is the best way to handle the following in IM and WM?
We have a stocking plant that supplies materials to our 30 other locations (all are defined as plants).
We have 6 trucks. Each truck drives the same route each day, and delivers material to 5 plants each.
Currently, material is moved between plants using STO's and paper outbound deliveries.
We would like to develop a RF process to track material from the from the shelf to the truck. Material moves as follows:
STO deliveries print for each plant.
Material is picked and moved to a staging area. There is one staging areas for each of our 30 plants.
Finally, all material for a truck route is moved from the staging area to the physical truck.
How can we do this with RF using as little customization as possible?
From I read and learn about WM, transfer orders for all plants would go into one large predefined staging area (9xx), with no way to verify or track down to the plant or route level.
How do we make sure that the material is correctly placed in each plant's corresponding staging area?
How do we insure that material is moved correctly from staging area to truck?
Thanks!

Any inputs from experts?
Thanks!

Using ArchLinux for daily work!

Hello!
I started my Linux career with Debian Sarge (currently running on my server). For my desktop-machine I use gentoo Linux about 6 weeks, but it was to much "package-administration" for me. I like it to work with my console, but I want a distribution, who isn't so costly to administrate.
config-files --> my job
package-management --> job of the distribution, without much work for me.
ArchLinux is a distribution, which hit's my philosphopy of a ideal Linux system.
But their is a problem:
Arch is a very young distribution, which haven't so much packages like gentoo. Ok, no problem! I can made my packages easy by yourself!
But the basic system + desktop should be stable packages, without much error fixing.
Now my question
Is ArchLinux "mature" to use it for the daily work, without much error fixing?
Thank's for your answers!
Greetings,
flasher
P.S.: I hope someone can read my english, it's a little bit german-english

I've been using Arch as my main machine at work for several months now. The updates have gone fairly well with no major problems. Overall it's done better than other distros in this regard and so as far as stability goes I'd give it very high marks.
I only have two complaints which you may want to consider:
1) If you are using it as a server it's tough to differentiate which updates are needed for security. Yes you can ignore packages but unless you keep track of the security updates individually you'll have a tough time. IMHO the Debian way is better where they have a source specifically for security updates. That way you don't have to worry about your postgres dbase getting updated unless there's a security flaw.
2) Using it as a desktop machine I had major problems with my USB card reader that I just couldn't ever figure out. I tried just about everything I could imagine but never got it working. Same hardware worked flawlessly in Ubuntu and OSX just by plug and play.
But to reiterate, I've been using it as my main machine at work for at least 3 months now with no failures. So if you can get it working the way you want you should have no problem using it long-term

Bapi to be used for delivering data of outbound delivery to LDL

Hi,
I am new to ABAP development and I need to do some enhancements for standard bapi BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA .
I have to use bapi for delivering data of outbound delivery to LDL.
I have created segments with additional fields for order header and item header in we31.
The additional fields should be implemented in created segments.After creating segments the additional fields data should be assigned to Idoc structure OBDLV.
This is the requirement I need to deliver by tomorrow.Please help me by providing step by step procedure and how to do?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Dear Venkat,
for cancelling GI/GR you may use BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE with GM_Code 06
for cancelling confirmations you may use BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CANCEL

BAPI Required for Plant to Plant Transfer using HUMO

Hi
I need to tansfer many materials from plant to plant it will be more than 5 lakshs line items.
All these materials are Handling Unit managed materials and need to use WM transaction HUMO to transfer this materials.
Is there any BAPI available to process this transaction?
Please let me know if anyone faced the same situation.
Thanks

Hi There,
Couple of options here
VLMOVE is the standard transaction for moving HU (Although these are at the IM level this means that the WM activity is ignored, so no WM requirement is created)
HU_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT
GN_DELIVERY_CREATE if you want to create a delivery to instigate the movement
I think you may have an issue at the warehouse level with these though
Cheers
Steve

Hi,
Here is the sample code to do that...
*---> po header data
wa_poheader-vendor    = your vendor..
wa_poheader-doc_type = Your doc type..check with Functional contact....
wa_poheader-purch_org = Purchasing Org..
wa_poheader-pur_group = Purchasing Group
*---> po header data (change toolbar)
wa_poheaderx-vendor    = 'X'.
wa_poheaderx-doc_type = 'X'.
wa_poheaderx-purch_org = 'X'.
wa_poheaderx-pur_group = 'X'.
*---> poitem data
data: item like ekpo-ebelp.
item = '0010'.
loop at t_parts.
it_poitem-po_item = '00010'.
IT_POITEM-PLANT    = Plant..
IT_POITEM-STGE_LOC = Sloc...
*---> poitemx (item data change toolbar)
it_poitemx-po_item = '0010'.
it_poitemx-po_itemx = 'X'.
IT_POITEMX-PLANT    = 'X'.
IT_POITEMX-STGE_LOC = 'X'.
*---> add record's to internal table
APPEND: it_poitem,
         it_poitemx.
endloop.
*call bapi_po_create1
CLEAR v_ebeln.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
    EXPORTING
      poheader         = wa_poheader

How to calculate the next incoming PO for a given material/plant in an elegant way

Hi experts,
Given a material and a plant i want to find out when the next PO is arriving. Is there a function module to calculate it?
This is the values i want to retrieve, but this method is not very optimized and can have performance issues:
"Entry un EKPO with material (MATNR), plant (WERKS), and Delivery Completed Indicator (ELIKZ) = blank, select the PO
numbers.
For all the POs, sort in EKET for the field ‘Delivery Date’ (EINDT) to get the next delivery date being
EINDT ≥ Todays day
Take the next PO to be received. Do the calculation (MENGE – WEMNG) for the item
The result of the calculation is the amount still open and that is supposed to be received. "

Hi,
You can use the FM: MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API. Execute the FM with plant and material number in selection. Now, check the structure: MDEZX which will give you all the requirements for the item. You can filter the items in the structure where MDEZX - DE = BE which will give you only the purchase orders. Also, the items will be sorted automatically based on the date.
Please check the same and revert back.

Update Plant details from MM to SRM for an already replicated plant

Hi All,
In order to replicate all plants from MM to SRM, we use program - BBP_GET_LOCATIONS_ALL
In order to replicate selected plants from MM to SRM, we use program - BBP_GET_LOCATIONS_SELECTED
In case a plant has already been replicated from MM to SRM, and subsequently the plant address details are changed in MM,
what is the process to reflect the changed plant details in SRM side? Is there a separate program for this?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Ruchika

Hi
LOCATIONS reports helpful to bring plant data into SRM as a business partner.
even you do run a report again you maigh get a report that plant BP updated successfully in SLG1 log.
you can test them in develoment box.
but we dont deal with any processing in EBP other than plant number.
Plant address is not a ship to address as in EBP . Ship to address attributes helps for f\delivery address.
i believe no harm in plant ADDRESS data in srm.

Report for planned or prodcution order for production in Alternate plants

Hai gurus,
I have two plants - X and Y
Plant x have finished goods A and B to be produced and procured from plant - Y
plant Y have finished goods C and D to be produced and procured from plant - X
The production in alternate plant concept is used in plant X for Product A and B
The production in alternate plant concept is used in Plant Y for Product C and D.
Now my requirement is how to get the report for the Purchase order raised by the
plant X for the Finished product A and B , also how to know the planned order
and production order with reference to purchase order for Finished product A and B
under plant - Y
and VIce versa for the Finished product C and B in plant X and Y
Waiting for the positive reply.
Regards,
Sekar chand

There are a few reports that you can use to display STO requisitions and orders, by supplying plant, material, or MD04 like was mentioned.
The only thing that you don't have in a report is the link to the production order. In SAP in a MTS situation there's no fixed link (pegging) between the requirement (STO) and the supply (prod Ord).
You can view the pegging dynamically, for example in MD04.

Report for stock transfer from plant to plant

Hi,
Is there any standard report for stock transfer from plant to plant .
If not is there any enhancements to get the above report.
Regards,
Ravindranath.

Hi Ravi,
U can use the tcode MB51 and their u can give the input as 301 if it is 1 step in the mvt type or use 303 and 305 for 2 step transfer. and generate the report.
if u want the list of stock transport orders then use tcode ME2N and the input parameter as item category "U" and generate the report.
hope it wud have answered ur question

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

System identification for open loop unstable plant?

Hello,
I have been trying to use system identification on labview. My problem is that my plant is open loop unstable and none of the tutorials or examples I have found seem to cover this so I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should go about it? My plant has an RC servo so it needs a PWM signal to stimulate it.
Thanks

I want to control my plant with lead/lag control but I do not know the plant model which makes this very difficult. I cannot theoretically calculate it because the information I need to obtain a numerical transfer function or state space model is unavailable.
I have it controlled with PID at the moment but this is not ideal.
I am trying to use the system identification toolkit to obtain a transfer function but I do not know what to do because the examples do not work for open loop unstable plants.
Adam
Ok Open loop unstable functions cannot be predictably controlled (hence the terms; open loop and unstable,) Not being able to model the actions is a bit of a problem too.
Somehow, someway you need to get some kind of model or some kind of feedback to either provide stability in the plant or close the loop.
Adding hardware (sensors) is the most likely solution.
tell me more about the plant, I do this kind of thing for a living, so I could offer some ideas.

Good receipt for Production in alternate plant

Hi,
I have scenario where i have using production in alternate plant. when i do GR in production plant the stock is getting updated in planning plant.
But physical material movement from production plant to planning plant will take 2days.
Is there anyway i can do GR in production plant and then do plant to plant transfer, so that i can ensure there is no mismatch between to physical stock and system stock.
or
is there any other process to overcome this problem.
kindly give a solution..
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
SAP Help
Stock Transfer from Plant to Plant
Within the stock transfer procedure, goods are produced and delivered within a company. The plant that is to receive the goods (receiving plant) orders the goods internally from another plant that is in a position to deliver the goods (issuing plant). The dependent requirements for the components to be transferred are determined in the receiving plant.
You use the stock transfer procedure, if two plants are located far away from each other, as the transport of materials to be transferred is taken into account in MRP with this type of procedure
So , pls try with 40 - Stock Transfer from Alt plant . Then , you can use combination of either 303 & 305 or 351 & 101 .With this procedure , there will be no mismatch bw the physical stock and system stock in the receiving plant.

Process for batch level at plant level

Folks,
In case we have set batch level at plant level, how does the system reacts in case of an STO? I.e. I ship batch 1 for material 1 from plant A to plant B. In plant B, this batch might already exists as the level of batches is on plant level. HOw will the GR react? Will it create a new batch number in plant B?
Regards,
MdZ

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Just to be sure; in case of a scenarion in which we have an STO, an outbound delivery with message type SPED which creates the inbound delivery and copies over the batch numbers in the inbound delivery and we do a GR on the inbound delivery, the system will try to do GR for these specific batches. Will the system then also either receive the batches on the inbound delivery in case these do not exist and create new ones in case they do exist?
Regards,
MdZ

Transfer Posting for Plant to Plant: Account Determination

Dear all,
I'm performing a standard transfer posting from Co. X Plant A (issuing plant) to Co. Y Plant B (receiving plant). Upon successful of the transaction, there are 2 accounting documents generated for both issuing plant and receiving plant, respectively.
Alright, when I view the accounting document for the receiving plant, it's debit stock account and credit another account. I know that the configuration for stock account is under BSX. However, I'd like to know how the SAP system determine which account to be credited at the same?
Thanks.
Steven

Dear all,
Thank you for the answers so far. However, I apologize if I've caused some misinterpretation.
Let me explain further. I'm not using STO. I"m doing a transfer posting of stock using movement type 301 between 2 interco. plants as explained earlier. My question is more on accounting document generated for the receiving plant. The following is what I get:
Accounting Document for Receiving Co. Y Plant B:
Debit - Account GLxxxx -> Spare parts (This is my stock account configured in OBYC - BSX) => OK, no problem here.
Credit - Account Nxxx -> Co. X => My question: Where or how did the SAP system acquire this account information at the first
place? I don't remember configuring this in SPRO.
Thanks.
