Valuation process in COPA with ML

Hi Gurus!!
I would like setting the valuation process in COPA, we have configured Material ledger without actual costing and all our products have the prices control indicator (v ) variable price/periodic unit price. I’m trying to do all the process but I don´t know how can I get the correct value in COPA for the Material Cost for each delivery (SD). Because the system takes the material Cost for the company code currency and uses the Exchange rate day to determine the value of the COPA Currency, and we need that the system takes the value of the material from Material Ledger.
How can I get the right value in COPA (ML tables)?
Thanks in advanced for your Help

MK

Hello Susan,
I got the information about using different value fields for each point of valuation from SAP's help notes. I also have a training document I am following. Here is an excerpt:
Assign Value Fields
Here you can assign the components of a cost component structure from Product Cost Controlling to the value fields of your operating concern. Note that you need to maintain separate value field assignments for each point of valuation in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
You can divide the cost components into fixed and variable parts before transferring them to CO-PA.
For each cost estimate, you can transfer any number of cost components to the same value field (n:1 relationship). The values from these cost components are then added together in the value field.
If you valuate using multiple material cost estimates simultaneously, this means that the values of different cost components within the same cost estimate are aggregated and then entered in one CO-PA value field. However, value fields that already contain data from a previous cost estimate are not overwritten by a later cost estimate. Consequently, you should assign value fields in Customizing so that the values of different cost estimates are entered in different sets of value fields.
You can assign up to six different value fields from your operating concern to each cost component in the cost component structure. These assignments is indicated by the value fields entered in the columns Field name 1 through Field name 6.
Different value field assignments are important whenever you want to use multiple valuation approaches with different cost estimates. Six is the maximum number of cost estimates that you can transfer simultaneously from Product Cost Controlling to Profitability Analysis.
If you want the whole document you can email me and I will send it to you.

Repost SD document to COPA with KE4S

Hi ,
I'm having the following issue:
I'm trying to re-post an SD document to COPA with KE4S. The sales order was changed from the original posting: it was filled an internal statistical order. The problem is that the reposted document to COPA doesn't have the characteristic internal order. Does anybody have an idea why? And what else can I do to repost with the internal statistical order?
Lavinia

Dear Lavinia
the question which i have understand that you want COPA document of internal order!!
if yes than process the following step
T.Code KB61, enter I/O in Order and than execute
double click on line item you want to fetch in COPA. In New Account Assignment click on Prof. Segmt. Than click on Derivation(Optional). than save .. Run report Ke24. and see the line item.
Hope this might help you

How well does SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ......?

Hi all,
I wanted to check about how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

Hi,
Not sure about the scenario - many BOMs for many production line - Is it that there are very high number of material master data which has BOMs or there are lot of BOMs for single material. If it is the second case, concept of variant configuration can be used, where number of BOMs are reduced by using super BOM.
Regarding high quantity of POs: probably you can exlpore the option of clubbing small POs into a single one for common vendors.

Hi Usha,
...you should have a look at the diffeent best practices offerings (aka. All-in-One). Theree are a lot of offerings there - pre-configured, ready to go - that apply to manufacturing industries like Chemical, Automotive, etc. Go to help.sap.com and you will find details abiout the content of the different best practice solutions.
I hope this helpes.

Hi,
SAP was built around the manufacturing functionality. I have been implementing SAP into Manufacturing companies for the past 17 years and the size (Big or small) and complexity (simple or complex) has never been an issue.
In fact, I would say that the companies that benefit the most from SAP are manufacturing companies that have lots of BOMs, lots of POs etc.
there couldn't be a better fit of functionality.

How does Arch cope with occasional upgrades?

Hi all,
I'm a long time Gentoo user, but as I don't have the time to upgrade my system every five minutes I only end up running upgrades every few months (or when I want to install a program that has a long string of dependencies.)
Unfortunately this process always ends in tears for me, as Gentoo is not designed to go for more than a few weeks between upgrades. So every time I do this packages fail to compile, programs won't run because of missing dependencies, libraries can't be upgraded because of weird conflicts, and I generally end up tearing my hair out trying to get my system back up and running again.
So I've pretty much had enough of this and I'm looking for a new distro. Gentoo would be perfect if it could cope with lengthy delays between upgrades, and from what I have read Arch has a similar methodology so I'm thinking Arch might be the way to go.
So - how does Arch cope if you wait six months or more between upgrading software packages? After upgrading a library, do you need to "manually" (at least Gentoo has a script) find applications that have broken and update those too? Or does pacman leave you with a working system every time you run it?
Any other insights that would be useful for someone coming from the Gentoo world?
Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful replies! Just to clarify, the problems I have with Gentoo are not so much the changes (e.g. updating configuration files to work with a new app version) my main complaint is that the upgrade just doesn't work. If I could run one command and come back 24 hours later and it was complete then that would be fine, the problem I have is that it breaks every few packages so doing a full upgrade takes days - and I mean days where you are sitting in front of it manually adding, removing and reinstalling packages to keep the package management system happy.
So when you mention things like packages changing their names or a python2 -> python3 transition, do you mean that pacman can't automatically handle this, and some manual intervention would be required? Because really, all I'm after is something like Gentoo but with less compile errors and nonsense complaints about package conflicts - something smart enough to just figure out what needs to be done by itself. But if this is likely to happen under Arch as well, maybe you're right and something like Ubuntu would be more my style (wow, coming from Slackware originally, I never thought I'd say that!)
Of course if it's binary-based then presumably these errors surface much faster than they do with Gentoo, so I'm curious - what are the types of problems you mostly get from pacman when upgrading your whole system?

Split Valuation Process

Hello SAP,
Can anyone explain the Split valuation Process step by step, what are the settings has to be done in backend and how can we apply it to the material?
How it will effect the material process?

Hi Mohan,
The SAP R/3 System allows you to valuate stocks of a material either together or separately, that is, according to different valuation criteria. Split valuation is necessary if, for example:
1. Stock from in-house production has a different valuation price than externally procured stock.
2. Stock obtained from one manufacturer is valuated at a different price than stock obtained from another manufacturer.
3. Different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices.
4. Value damaged and repair part differently from a new part.
To used split valuation, you have to activate it using 'OMW0'.
To change split material valuation once it has been set, you must
1. first post out all stocks (for example, to a cost center or with movement type 562)
2. then change the control parameters
3. if necessary, change the automatic account determination
4. finally post the stocks back in again
In split valuation, you can distinguish between partial stocks of a material according to certain criteria and valuate them separately.
The material stock is divided according to valuation category and valuation type.
The valuation category determines how the partial stocks are divided, that is, according to which criteria.
The valuation type describes the characteristics of the individual stocks.
With the function "Setting" you can determine:
which valuation categories exist in your company (global categories)
which valuation types exist in your company (global types)
which valuation types belong to which valuation category
which valuation categories exist in a valuation area (local categories)
Your entries are only relevant if you set split valuation as active in the function "Global settings".
In the standard SAP R/3 System, the following valuation categories are default settings :
B procurement type
with the valuation types:
"EIGEN" for in-house production
"FREMD" for external procurement
H Origin
X automatic valuation (only for batch)
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.
Specifying Split Valuation by creating Material Subject to Split Valuation
1. Create a material master record, selecting the Accounting View 1.
2. Enter your data as required on the Accounting data screen, specifying a valuation category.
(If you can't find the valuation category field, it might be hidden, use OMSR to define the Field Groups.
Look for the field MBEW-BWTTY for Valuation category).
3. Be sure that the price control indicator is V for moving average price and enter a moving average price.
4. In the case of split valuation, you can create only one valuation header record with price control V because the
individual stock values are cumulated, and this total value is written to the valuation header record. This is where the
individual stocks of a material are managed cumulatively. To do this, fill in the Valuation category field on the accounting
screen when you create the material master record and leave the Valuation type field blank.
5. Save your data and the system creates the valuation header record.
6. The initial screen appears.
7. Extend the material by creating new material master records from the Accounting view 1. For the first material, specify a
valuation type in the Organizational Levels dialog box and enter the respective accounting data on the data screen.
Proceed likewise for the other materials, distinguishing between them by valuation type. To do this, call up the material in
creation mode again. Due to the fact that a valuation header record exists, the system requires you to enter a valuation
type for the valuation category.
8. Repeat step seven for every valuation type planned.
Hope this helps!

(and yes I went through all the possible options (other Quick Starts, API documentation))

Yes, removing the block diagram obscures the code so much that not even newer versions of LabVIEW can make sense of it.
I think under the hood it must be converting it to Perl.

Valuated Sales order stock with CO Production Order

Dear All,
Our clinet is manifatcuring cables and having 2 plants, for one plant we have configured PP module so we are arriving valuated sales order stock, for another plant we didnt configured PP module so we planned CO production order, but where as we are not meeting our ultimate goal i.e; valuated sales order stock.
So please guide me how to arrive valuated sales order stock with CO Production Order.
Thanks & Regards
Narasimham T

Valuated sales order stock is not dependent on PP, so you should be able to still to use it. The requirements class associated with the sales order item determines whether the item is valuated sales order stock and it also determines the valuation method. If you do not have Boms and routings in this plant you can still value the line item based on the material valuation in the material master. You can also value it based on a unit cost estimate that can be created seperately for the sales order item. Justt make the desired settings in the requirement class.
thanks,

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

Exception thrown while processing pdf file with composite fonts using adobe pdf library (v 9.1 )

Hi All,
I have an issue with processing composite fonts with adobe pdf library (v 9.1 ).
While processing a pdf file having composite fonts, the pdf library is throwing an exception.
The api which throwed exception is "PDPageAcquirePDEContent()". In my code i am calling PDDocGetNumPages(), PDDocAcquirePage() before this api is called, but all those functions suceeded. In the HANDLER, using the ASGetErrorString(), i got this exception error as "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing."
Now coming to the input file (which is also attached), this document have three different composite fonts ( details are given below )
Font Name : TicketBold, Bold(Embedded)
Font Type : Trueype (CID)
Encoding : Identity-H
Font Name : Times-Roman (Embedded)
Font Type : Type 1 (CID)
Encoding : Identity-H
Font Name : TimesNewRomanPSMT (embedded)
Font Type : TrueType(CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If i convert all the composite fonts to outline using pitstop before processing, it works fine.
So my question is that whether pdf library doesnt support composite fonts (which i dont think so ) or i need to do a special handling for these kinds of fonts in my application ( which i strongly belive ). If its the latter case, please let me know how to handle it in my application.
thanks in advance
best regards

Hi Leonard,
Thanks for your reply. May i ask you which sample of the PDF Library you used to test my scenario.
One question i would like to put to you beofre going for filing a formal issue to Adobe will be does this issue has anything to do with the initialization of the pdf library?
What i meant is that when we call the PDFLInit() we pass a PDFLDataRec structure which is initialized by various path to font folders, cmap folders and unicode folders. Whether if i miss any of these folders will it cause this issue???
thanks again

Acrobat/Reader cannot cope with internal Webserver connectivity problems, leading to comments being hidden/deleted. Any thoughts?

Adobe Acrobat/Reader do not cope with interruptions to access to the internal WebServer hosting the PDF/XML review files.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Connection is lost to the WebServer hosting the PDF review files.
After connection to the WebServer is regained, access to the PDF review files is blocked by Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
Sometimes this can be resolved by deleting the entire contents of the folder:
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer
NOTES:
We have experienced this behaviour especially when connecting to the WebServer via VPN. I reckon the connectivity issues could be initially our problem, that Acrobat/Reader simply do not handle.
Clearing the contents of the Synchronizer folder does not always work.
Team members have also seen situations where significant numbers of review comments or status values have been not been displayed, but exist in the XML review files. In some cases comments/status values have been automatically deleted without warning from the Adobe review XML files.
PDF reviews are sent out via email as links to the PDF review file hosted on an internal WebServer.
Writers and reviewers in the team either have either:
Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 with Reader 11.0.08
Acrobat XI Pro 9.5.5 with Reader 11.0.08
I have personally experienced the above behaviour with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 and Reader 11.0.08.
Could this experience be connected the Synchronizer (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html )?
For example, where a reviewer uses a different version of Acrobat/Reader?
Could anyone please provide a list of compatible versions of Acrobat/Reader?
Expected results:
Adobe Acrobat/Reader should really handle connection issues with a warning and later check for recovered connections.
However, what appears to be happening is that Acrobat/Reader writes some sort of blocking code to the Synchronizer folder that prevents future checks of the PDF review files on the review WebServer.
As far as I understand, the connection issues are not caused by Adobe software, however the problems we are experiencing relate to how Adobe Acrobat/Reader handle this loss of connection.
Plea for Help!
I have checked and the experience of missing comments and persistent "connectivity issues" seems to be a reported but sadly outstanding issue...
This has been an ongoing headache for some time, so solutions would be great, but any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...?
For example, has anyone using SharePoint to host PDF reviews experienced anything similar?
Many thanks!

Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 with Microsoft SharePoint Repository Trial Update
We've completed week one of a three week trial (see above) that will go on until Friday 24th October.
We currently have just four PDF files out for review that make use of the SharePoint repository.
To-date:
Each review file has had multiple concurrent reviewers posting comments over several days from both over the office LAN and also via VPN when working remotely.
Dynamic stamps seem to be working as hoped and are all visible.
We have not experienced any connection-type issues and the we have not had reason to clear out the Synchronizer folder as described above.
Counter balance:
I have experienced the situation with a remote VPN connection, where Adobe Acrobat could not connect to our internal WebServer repository. At the same time, I was able to connect to PDF review files hosted in SharePoint.
Summary:
The experience so far does suggest that problems are caused by the an inconsistent connection to the WebServer repository (especially over VPN) combined with Adobe Acrobat/Reader's inability to cope with the resulting situation.
At the moment I must say that while it is early days, I am hopeful that the combination of SharePoint as the repository and the update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 11.0.09 will continue to prove to be reliable.
I'll provide an update to this post on Friday 24th October...
Here's hoping!

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.

How do you cope with releases of your custom Portal Content (PCD Content)?

Dear SDN Community,
I'm very interested in how you cope with release management in the Portal (PCD).
Where I'm focusing on is the release of a "project" trough your landscape (Dev, Test, QA, Prod)
When starting a project you start with a new folder lets say "My Custom App" that contains all your content.
Once done you transport to Test, QA and eventually Prod. Now the Content is in use and roles are assigned.
Request for changes arive from the customer and eventually a new release need to be implemented.
Offcourse you could then change/update the content in the initial folder and transport that to Test, QA again but you will not be able to fix incidents while creating the new release because objects maybe touched.
I was thinking about a scenario where you create subfolders in your application folder, see example below:
\ "My Custom App"
|--- Release 1.0
|--- Release 1.1
|--- Release 2.0
|--- Current
You only do this on your Dev system. Everytime a Release is OK you put it in the "Current" folder and transport this to Prod.
Using this you won't have to change the Role assignments in your different landscapes as they are always pointing to the "Current" folder. In addition this scenario enables you to provide Pilot rollouts to smaller groups parallel to the Major release.
My question to you is to shoot on it and give your oppinion/feedback... where possible provide links to SAP document or best practices that describe this subject...
Thnx in advance,
Benjamin Houttuin

Hi Bejamin,
It is an interesting approach you describe and I see no reason it should not work.
The only thing which can create some problems is that the object ID of roles must be unique. For example com.mycom.roles.roleA cannot exist in two separate folders in the PCD. For all other PCD objects it is the PCD ID which must be unique and this includes the folder prefix.
In my experience, the most natural solution for this in large portal environments is to have both a version and a production line.
The production line will be your standard sandbox, development, test/QA, production and the version line will consist of an development and test/QA systems.
Long running projects for enhancements to existing functionality will be done in the version line, before being transported to the production line when ready for GoLive. This makes even more sense when you have version lines for backend systems your portal are using which are modified at the same time.
Whilst the project is running, the production line can be used for changes to the current version, but it is important to note that all these changes have to be migrated into the version line in order to make sure they are not overwritten.
Of course, a version line brings extra cost related to synchronization and similar, so it is not always it makes sense.
Amit's two documents of large portal installations might be somewhat relevant:
