Valuation Type Issue with STOs

Hello Folks !!
In the client environment Materials are going to be Batch Managed as well as Split Valuated (by Country of Origin "H" Category).
When we create STOs, Valuation Type of the receiving plant is mandatory and it has to be specified up in the STO Order itself. [ According to SAP OSS Note: 66593]
The problem here is the Planner who is creating the STO is not going to know the Valuation Type of the Receiving Plant at the time of creating the STO.
The valuation type of the product will be known only at the time of Shipping. That is, upon delivery creation the Batches will be determined and the Shipping Valuation Type will be known.
Also Note that : If we pick any default valuation type at the time of the STO creation, that is going to create problems at the time of receiving at the receiving plant, because if a different valuation type is shipped than the one mentioned in the STO Order, the system is going to say, that the Batch Valuation Type and the Valuation Type Specified in teh STO are different.
What do you Experts Suggest !! How could this be resolved ??
Cheers

dear experts
we had faced similar issue and done enhancement to substitute Val Type of PDI to PO before GR.
But this has resulted in inconsistency in ML & MCHA.
The Financial & ML entry is posted at the time of PGI (641 mov type) and subsequent change on GR is not correct.
Now we have reverted the enhancement and finding alternative solution.
Some body suggested Automatic PO based on PGI.

Valuation type requirement at STO

Hi Friends,
We have a scenario in stock transfer as follows,
Material is split valuated( say valuation type as Traded and Manufactured).The valuation type for the material maintained at receiving plant is TRADED and for the same material at supplying plant maintained as MANUFACTURED.
While creating STO( PO with doc type UB) , system is picking valuation type in the PO as TRADED.
While posting out bound delivery and goods issue from supplying plant, system will pick valuation type as MANUFACTURED.
While receiving the goods at receiving plant( MIGO u2013with respect to Out bound delivery), system is picking valuation type as TRADED but not MANUFACTURED.
But client requirement is that, while posting GR w.r to out bound delivery , system should always pick valuation type which is maintained at supplying plant(in this example valuation type MANUFACTURED) but not from the PO(STO).
How to achieve the same

Hi,
The split valuation concept is like this.
Generally when a PO is created in a plant for a perticular valuation type means, you are going to purchase a material which is of that valaution type.the PO creating plant will be with the material and this material is to be extended to that valuation type for the new price in the new accountingh view in that plant.
In your case you are creating a sto--ub, means the material which is being procured should be in both the plants.
since you are creating the po in receiving plant and it is maintained as 'traded' in that plant po is being created for that valuation type.
since in the supplying plant the material is with 'manufactured' while its delivery system will take as manufactured.
As you want to receive the goods as manufactured, maintain the new accounting view as manufactured in the receiving plant and create the PO for manufactured valuation type and deliver through supplying plant.since delivery plant is having the manufactured valuation type it delivers the same and as you createsd the PO for manufactured, you receive the same.
After receiving that material will be with you and ready for a trade or resale.for such purposes use the traded valuation type.
Hope it is clear.

Valuation Type Check in STOs

In STO creation in ME27 Transaction, the field Valuation Type is mandatory.In availability check, we could able to find the available stock at issuing plant at quantity level. But our requirement is how to find the issuing plant stock at each Valuation type level? Is there any setting in aAvailability Check? or any Standard System message available?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi...
dear frnd the valuation type field is mandatory because the material for which you are creating a STO is split valuated, means in accounting view of the material you have maintained something in the field "Valuation category".
If this is the case, when you received the goods in supplying plant you should have entered valuation type as your batch.
And if the material is batch managed you have to check the valuation type for the batch in which the material stock exist.
Batch can be displayed in T-Code - MSC3N (Tables - MCHA and MCHB) Kindly check the data in both tables.
Hpe this will solve the problem.

Material Ledger with Split Valuation Type 'X' with FIFO

Hi,
The requirement from the customer is to have Raw Material, Intermediary and Finished Products valued at Actuals and on a FIFO basis. According to me, this is possible only if we activate Material Ledger, have batch split valuation u2018Xu2019 as the valuation type and have a batch search strategy which does a FIFO. Are there any technical issues with this solution? Or is there a better solution? Is any organisation ever using this solution for a similar requirement? As an extension of this requirement, how does commodity trading companies running in SAP handle their inventory and COGS valuation?
Thanks and Regards
Shivram.

Hi,
Using Material Ledger with batch management and split valuation of each batch ("X") leads to most aaccurate FIFO valuation result, however, depending on how many material and batch the customer has, huge number of materials will be processed and it will affect the performance issues. You should check the number and expected period-end time frame scheduling at least.
Financial responsible tell you to need this kind of solution (detailed FIFO calculation)?
They usualy needs to get simple FIFO valuation, meaning they don't care each individual logistic material movement as FIFO, but only care of periodic FIFO. I know, it depends on Finacial responsibes or their auditors, so it's also not general.
Please double-check the new FIFO valuation function for Material Ledger with using Periodic Closing and AVR. Some information is in SAP Note 1431829 and 1247053. Related transactions are there, CKLMBB_xxxx under Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Balance Sheet Valuation Procedures. I couldn't find any official documents for Material Ledger + FIFO valuation (like Release Notes).
Hope this will be an additional option to yours.
Best regards, Takashi

Valuation type management in STO

Dear Sap expert,
I have configured a materials split valuation and using it in Purchasing. I have created a Valuation Category P and 2 different valuation type u201CEu201D for External procurement and u201CIu201D for In-house production. I have also configured a stock determination rule. Everything works well in the whole purchasing flow.
I have now one problem with Stock Transport Order. The default valuation type for all purchasing is set to blank. When I create a STO (ME21N) using materials with Valuation type u201CIu201D the system assign for all item, in the delivery folder, the default valuation type u201CEu201D. I would like to manage automatically the value of this field (MEPO1313-BWTAR) depending on the material master data valuation directly in STO.
I can't create an info record in STO cause the supplying plant is not a vendor and I must maintain the right valuation type in STO.
I was thinking to use an user-exit or some technical way to maintain it.
Any idea, please!
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Paolo

Hi,
Create the 2 info records with vendor assigned to the customer for this STO and material combination and assign the valuation type in the info record.
I havent tried this, PLease revert back if it is working.

Issue with STO over delivery

I am sure this topic has been taken up so many times before. I have browsed through almost all of them. I still do not have a way of restricting STO over delivery! Require your expertise!!.
My requirement is that STO over deliver should not occur when using VL10* transactions alone.
We tried to export a flag (say delv_flag)from program 'RVV50R10C' to shared buffer and import the same into BADI LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC (DELIVERY_FINAL_CHECK) to capture error message when STO over delivery is created. The entire logic is built based on this flag alone.We are deleting the flag in V50R_MAIN of the program 'RVV50R10C'.
There are some issues with this method:
1. In some cases the delete flag statement gets executed before importing from memory and hence an STO over delivery gets created. (I don't know how or why!).
2. When VL10* transaction is executed, the delivery flag is set. At this point in time, if the user tries to delete delivery without exiting the transaction, the BADI will get triggered and error message will be displayed. This is not correct functionality since error message should be displayed only for VL10* transactions.
Suggestion:
If I change the location of exporting the flag to include 'LV50R_VIEWF43' (form delivery_create), do you suppose it would work? Would Idocs trigger this?
If anybody has worked on similar requirement please share your inputs. Urgent!!!!
PS:
I have read about delivery tolerances too "The overdelivery tolerance functionality is available only for the deliveries created with reference to sales orders and not for deliveries created with reference for PO's or STO's".

Dear Sapna Morey
I think OMCQ T.Code-- Select message M7--024 Change from Waring to error
Please try once with this it may work To control over delivery tolarency in STO
Dear Lakshmipathi G sir
i have one doubt please clear me sir please
To control Over delivery tolarance in sap standard is not available , then what is the use of the above one.
Because i have searched a lot , i didnt find the logic about this
Thanks a lot sir please help me sir

Paper Type issue with Adobe Standard X printing from browser

I work in IT and have two users who suddenly started having a problem printing PDFs from a browser (IE9). We cannot upgrade the borwser to 10 or 11 because it becomes incompatible with a few of our in house websites. I uninstalled standard and installed Adobe Reader XI and did not experience the same problem, but they are in need of Standard X in order to do their job.
What happens is when the PDF opens in the browser and they go to printer, the default for paper type is High Gloss paper instead of plain or unspecified. This doesn't happen if we open a pdf from the desktop and print and the default for the driver is plain. Yes, we could save the document and then print it, but they feel that takes more time and I have to find out why this is happening. Any help would be very appreciated.

Probable issue with the Firefox is that in the documentation it is poorly worded poorly, JIDS only support FF 17.
What is the issue with IE if that does fix the FF issue?

Font/Type Issue with Slideshow & Transitions

DVDSP 4.1.0. I've created a slideshow in DVDSP. I created all the photos in Photoshop.Each has a small caption at the bottom created as part of the actual photo. When I create a slideshow in DVDSP everything looks great. However, if I had a transition to the slides (say a fade through color for 1 second) the type on the caption looks crazy bad on SOME DVD players. Looks fine on my computer and two of my DVD players, but on one other one (and unfortunately my clients) DVD player the type looks very bad when the transitions have been added to the slideshow. The photo still looks great, but the type at the bottom looks horrible. Clearly it's an issue with some DVD players and some don't seem show the problem. Just wondered if anyone had any insight into this problem. Thanks.

hi, friend!
try this:
void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
good luck.

Mime Type issue with .docx Files in Apex 4.0

We are having issues with windows 2007 .docx documents that are when they are viewed on windows 2007 machines with ie8. If I look in the storage table the mime type is not set correctly. It is being set as application/octet-stream. When we download the file one windows 7/IE8 either the browser thinks it is a zip file or it does not recognize it.
If I go into the back end and update the table with the correct mime type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document it works fine.
We have tried to update mime types on the apache server but this does not help.
Apex seems to be deciding what mime type to populate the table with.
It seems like I need to update apex somehow to recognize that a .docx extension should be stored as type mime type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.
Does anyone know how I would do this?

We are upgrading from PI 7.01 to PI 7.11 and we've come cross an issue during the prepare phase of the install.
An error has occurred during the execution of the CHECK_SUPPORTED_SOURCE_USAGES phase.
This upgrade doesn't support upgrade of sap.com/MI usage detected on the source system.
You can find more information in the log file /usr/sap/PI3/upg/java/log/CHECK_SUPPORTED_SOURCE_USAGES_SSU_01.LOG.
Use the information provided to troubleshoot the problem. An SAP Note may provide a solution to this problem.

ZHRMD_A Custome message type issue with custom segments.

Hi Experts,
We have implemented ALE in HR system, we have all other ALE using HRMD_A and we have jobs scheduled for HRMD_A message type. We dont want this job should trigger our model and distribute the data. So we have reduced the HRMD_A messae type to ZHRMD_A for basic type HRMD_A06. Every thing fine. After upgrade of SAP FROM ECC6.O to EHP4, PFAL is not creating IDOC segements for custom segments Z*. for example Z1P0002....ETC, though there is personal data for PERNR.
Please guid if you have come across such situation and solution.
Thanks & Regards.
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
In the same way i too have one situation like...have different model view with same message types( and same extension type) for various countries from one sender system.
Should i create reduced message type for each model view?
Or can i use same message type HRMD_A for various model views?
If i can use same message type and same extension type for various model views is there any restriction we need to write in USER EXIT EXIT_SAPLRHA0_004?

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."<sup>1</sup>
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

Valuation type to pick from delivery in Goods receipt of STO

Dear experts
In case of STO, the material is Split valuated (Say RM local & RM Import). STO is created for 1000 qty with Valuation type of RM local.
But delivery is done in 2 steps with both the valuation types (say for e.g 1st delivery with valuation type RM Import and 2nd with RM Local)
When I do the goods receipt against the Outbound delivery, in Std system, it will fetch the valuation type entered in STO (PO), but the requirement is to take from Delivery.
Please suggest Solution for this (BADI or any User exit)
Regards
Muthu

Hi
The requirement is such that client does not want to split the Quantity in PO, as they don't know how much quantity will be delivered from different valuation types. So that SAP note may not be helpful
Anyway thanks a lot for your suggestion
