Variable UOM of an Article in Logistics

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need two different UOM's in case of a StockTransport Order.
Example:
I have one article 'A1' which is to be ordered in 'CAR'(cartons) for a
Distribution Center 'D1'
and the same article 'A1' is to be ordered in 'EA'(each) for a
Distribution center 'D2; then I
can use the field "Variable Order unit" in the Purchase Info record and it is possible.
But How to achieve the same functionality in the case of an STO(Stock transport order)
i.e. Store 'S1' should be able to raise the STO the for an article 'A1'
in 'CAR'(cartons) and the Store 'S2' should can be able to raise the STOin 'EA' (each).
In case of a Purchase Order,
I can use the Variable Order unit and it serves my purpose.
But, How to achieve this in the case of a STO(stock Transport order).
Please suggest how this can be done in SAP.
Kindly revert for any more information.
Regards,
Kumar

HI,
Why dont you try maintaining in Additional Data while you are creating Material master. This is where we can maintain multiple UOM's. give it a try.
Thanks & Regards

Merging variable data using data merge plug-ins for In-Design

Has anyone had any experience with merging variable data (such as articles for a newsletter) with either of these plug-ins:
DesignMerge, www.meadowsps.com/site/marketing/productinfo/designmerge.htm
or Pageflex Studio ID, www.bitstream.com/publishing/products/studioid/index.html

Only Pageflex Persona (cut down version of Studio - doesn't require InDesign Server).
Variable stuff is extremely customisable, but design stuff is !@##%. Like Quark 3 simplicity... Customer support is poor in my experience. Program is clunky - they've only just added keyboard shortcuts to access tools... woohoo. Spot colours aren't fully supported - you have to specify them as CMYK and tell your printer to substitute later... you can't design across a spread at all - any two-page graphics have to be placed twice... I could go on!
For a newsletter, I'd just find a way with InD CS5. Maybe with the Copyfit plugin if you want more functionality, but not with standalone software. For complex variable areas in InD, I just create pdfs or separate InD files of the variable area, and list these as you would images in the csv file. The free LayoutZone addon (Thanks Martinho!) makes region exporting very simple - beware of some occasional bugs with strokes changing.
I did a job recently with 36 variables per entry, including 2 embedded InD files. The layout was a 3-fold A4 double-sided flyer, with each 3rd page being a few mm shorter to allow for the fold-in. CS5 multi-page size and 3-page spreads made this quite simple to set up.

Need logic to find Year to Date for customer exit variable

Hi to all,
I am creating customer exit variable for query .
query should display data according to current system year from jan till current system date.
here senario is like that user never enter year and query will automatically will fetch the data according to current year starting from jan to current system date.
example.
current year 2010 and today is system date is sep 29 2010, so query will display data from jan 2010 to current data sep 29 2010.
please can any one provide me logic for that.
any code .

pavneet rana

Hi,
You need to create the characteristic customer exit variable of type select-options. Restrict your keyfigure based on this variable.
In the logic in CMOD,
write as below
i_step =2.
case i_vnam.
When 'exit variable'.
temp = sy-datum+0(4).
concatenate temp '0101' into temp1.
l_s_range-low= temp1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
l_s_range-high= sy-datum.
append APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endcase.
For any further help on customer exit based variable, please refer below article.

WERT Article in Contract

Situation: IS-Retail
I would like to know the following:
1) What is the purpose of having a WERT (Value-only) article in Contract proposal?
2) What is the purpose of having a WERT article and also a Generic Article in a Contract? Generic article appears in Sales order and billing.
Note: WERT article does not appear anywhere except for the contract proposal. There is no material substitution involved (from WERT to Generic saleable material)

Hi Raj,
WERT i.e. Value only article is ALWAYS required to sell/bill something.
This also applies to article-independent value contracts. In this case, an article for settlement (dummy article) is used instead of a specific article. The article for settlement is used to control the value contract items with regard to tax determination, statistics updates, division, and other variables derived from the article master.
Hope this info will be useful.
Bye,
Muralidhara

Hallelujah, finally disabled OOPP. I use Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade to anything that ignores my settings. Been looking for this info for years!

As soon as Firefox came out with OOPP, I immediately asked how to permanently disable it and had a Firefox developer straight-up lie to me and say it couldn't be done without downgrading. Thank GOODNESS for the instructions on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/713600?page=1 Finally, finally I have excised the hated OOPP!
I run Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade, ever, unless I see signs that Mozilla has radically altered its development direction and discarded most of the boneheaded, broken, anti-user development that has gone into versions more recent than Firefox 1.x. Actually making your mission statement more than an empty promise might be a good place to start.
Let's see...anything else? Oh yeah, any developer who advocates overriding or ignoring user settings, or taking control away from the user, should be kicked off the team. (and investigated as a possible Government mole, but that's a lot to ask for). I hear Konqueror and Safari are looking for new devs. It gets old fast when you try to get support and instead get haughty "You're doing it wrong, stop doing that" responses. I'm doing exactly what I intend to be doing and if you can't support that, someone else will. If you really gave a damn about your users, you might start by backporting security fixes to previous versions instead of spewing out a cacophony of incompatible new versions so rapidly you end up confusing and alienating users and making them switch updates off entirely. I mean seriously, what happens when Firefox hits triple digits? You could stick a decimal in front of it, and name that build after a historic baseball player who had that batting average. But even then you will run out of players in a few months.
It's truly sad. I switched to Firefox because it was the best browser. But Firefox has been backsliding horribly since around 2.0, and the other browsers seem to be in about the same boat. Firefox IS still the best browser - but only if you use an ancient, unsupported version. That's a big problem.

Using an obsolete version released [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/9.0.1/releasenotes/ December 11th 2011] is the exact definition of downgrading. It exposes your system to all the security vulnerabilities that have been fixed since then.
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Out-of-process plug-ins was made mandatory on Windows Vista and later because Adobe don't test Flash Player's protected mode with OOPP disabled. This change didn't happen until Firefox 14, so there was no need to go as far back as Firefox 9.0.1.
If you absolutely have to, you can disable OOPP by creating the ''MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS'' environment variable and setting its value to '''1'''. Firefox must be restarted for the change to take effect. This works in the current version of Firefox, so there's no need to use obsolete insecure versions.<br>
If you don't know how to create an environment variable, see the following article for instructions (the "Using the Custom Environment Variable" section is not relevant).

Sales Set

Hai Guys,
I am having a problem on having a Sales Set. We have two company codes.
I am creating the sales set by the following steps.
1. Create an article, (type: Sales set instead of single article) and in the Basic Data, click the components button, in the subsequent screen entered the component articles and the qty.
2. After listing that Sales set article to the desired sites, I am creating the sales set article using the movement type 317 in tcode mb1b.
3. In my inventory, the component's stocks are reduced and the stock of the Sales set article is increased.
4. Once the Sales is made for the Sales set article, and PGI is done, the system reduces the stock of the Sales stock and no changes is made to the remaining component article stocks.
Here is where I encounter the issue.
In one of the company code, this is working fine.
But in the another company code's sites, when I do the PGI for Sales Set article, the stock of the Sales Set remains the same but the component articles' stocks are reducing.
I am startled to find the unusual behavior. Does it has anything to do with the site profile or any other MM customizations?
Had anybody come across this kind of issues previously? Can anybody help me in this aspect?
Regards,
Maheshwaran. I

Hello Maheshwaran,
Did you check the standard sales set explosion configuration in Logistics-General -> Material Master -> Retail-Specific Settings -> Settings for Structured Materials -> Structured Article in Logistics Process? Maybe in here, for the other company code's plants, the settings are maintained differently.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Amitabha

Replenishment in SAP-Retail

Hey,
My requirement is to group certain customers having same replenishment requirements and then assigning it to materials with defined replenishment parameters.
I have figured how to trigger the replenishment parameters at a material group level or merchandise category(for retail) level.
This is done by using the "Requirements Grouping" field in reference material for the material group.
Please tell me if its possible to maintain replenishment requirements and parameters for a group of external customers for materials.
-Shubit

yes..your are correct and thanks for the help.
but see,I had actually done all that and it is reflecting correctly against the material when im checking the parameters of replenishment in WR60.
My issue now is that, I want to make these parameters avaialable for non-retail or external customers which we create in XD01....I know how these parameters are gettin reflected for stores but what shall be done for specific customers we create from xd01.
As,I want to maintain one material,its replenishment parameter for multiple external customers at once and not by one by one(this one by one assignment which can be done in the Article Master-Logistics Store view).
Im maintaining competitor group now which is in Site master-Merchandise category view...one can assign external customers to a competitor group...but I dont see it getting reflected when im creating the article in that particular site, and hence i dont see the parameters maintained for the customers that are in that class in WR60.
Please tell me if theres any way I can maintain parametrs for numerous customers at once for replenishment for an article.
Thanks!

Choice of supplier in SAP Retail

Dear Retail experts,
I am new to SAP Retail, but I am sure someone out there has a quick answer to the following question.
A store has a need of an article. If there is stock in the DC it should be supplied from there; otherwise, the store shall order from the vendor. Such process doesnu2019t exist in standard SAP (probably in SAP APO), but maybe thereu2019s such process in SAP Retail?
TIA
Raf

On the Article Master Logistics Store view, maintain the setting for Supply Source. 4 = Stock Transfer Before Standard.
This works in conjunction with ATP checking.
Store Order: Document Categories with Sourcing Check
The document category controls the conversion of store order IDocs into follow-on documents. If a sourcing check is to be carried out for the document category, the system determines a source of supply, and if it finds an internal source of supply, it also performs further checks on the goods, to ensure that they are available, for example.
The following are examples of document categories without a sourcing check:
Warehouse order with single availability check
The system checks availability for an internal source of supply according to ATP logic. If the available quantity is insufficient, the system searches for an external source of supply (the availability check cannot be carried out for an external source). The availability check is only carried out for a single internal source of supply.

Profile manager wildcard options

Is it possible to use wildcards for such things as usernames in the profile manager for VPN? I'd like to preconfigure VPN for all Macbooks without having to setup a profile for each user. The username field is a required field so leaving it blank isn't an option.

I haven't tried this for a VPN profile but have done variables with an Exchange email profile. The user logs into the My Devices web portal with credentials that are then used for the installation of the profile substituting their real information for the variable. See these articles:

Battery draining when macbook pro sleeping

When i leave a certain program open and the macbook pro goes to sleep the battry drains to 0%. When the program is not open the battery holds its charge when sleeping. Is there anything i can do to prevent this program from runing down the battery?

To anyone claiming that the poster is "wrong" about their Unibody Macbook Pro battery draining during sleep- I would counter that you are the one who is wrong.
I used to have a 2006 Macbook Pro that I could close the lid, let it sleep for several days, open it back up and bingo, plenty of life, nearly unchanged from when I closed it. On my new 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody, if I close the lid and open it back up the next day, the battery is either completely gone and in hibernate mode or I have about 10% left. This is from a full charge!
Yes, I know the machine is actually sleeping because I have the pulsating light. No it isn't any software I'm running because I cloned over the hard drive from the old machine resulting in an identical system and experienced the issue right away. Later, I performed a clean install from Snow Leopard DVD, didn't install any software, and noted the exact same problem.
No it isn't the battery. It is in "normal" condition with over 5200 mAh remaining at full charge.
No it is not from BlueTooth; it is disabled. No it is not from a CD or DVD playing in iTunes, there is none inserted. No it is not from File Sharing or any other sharing; none are enabled. I have eliminated all the variables identified in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776) but still the problem persists.
This is definitely a hardware problem and one that Apple seems to be ignoring. I just can't justify buying another computer from these guys as all indications are that they have abandoned supporting their once core user base, professional media authors, in exchange for teeny-bopper iPod buyers.
Absolutely no acknowledgment of this issue after countless posts on many threads from dissatisfied users verifying the problem is bad customer service and bad public relations.

REPLENISHMENT PLANNING

Hi,
We are planning to use Replenishment planning for stores.
1. I have maintained RP type as "RP"- Replenishment.
2. I have also selected the check box "Use Replenishment-Based Inventory Management" in article master.
Now when i run planning thro WRP1 the system creates purchase order for quantities issued as well as the last planning result.
EX:
Step 1
Issues              -10 pcs
Planning result -10 pcs (PO & GR has been completed)
Step 2
Issues              -7 pcs
Planning result -17 pcs (PO & GR has been completed)
Step 3
Issues              -3 pcs
Planning result -20 pcs
What should i do so that the system considers the issues alone ?
Regards,
Shakthi.

Hi Shakthi,
check necessary settings in Article
under Logistics DC and Store Rp type should be RP, mention the
Reorder point,
target stock,
planned delivery time
Availability chceck - 01
Purchase group
and then Run WRP1
Thanks

Creating Purchase Requistion through WRP1 (Replenishment planning)

Hi,
We use transaction WRP1 to create requistions. There is a requirement to store the stock on hand of all articles in the requistions at the time WRP1 is executed and report on it later. I tried to achieve this by adding field STOCK in EBAN and WVFB and hoping that will automatically be transferred from replenishment to requisition. But, this does not happen. Also, table WRPT has this field, but does not store the value.
Is there any where else that I can get the stock on hand used by the replenishment run from.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers
Tim

Article UoM conversion differs from Inforecord UoM conversion

Hi experts,
While creating article through MM41(ALE), in basic data, we have maintained base UoM as KG and another UoM 1 CAR = 12 KG. The article is gettting created properly.
But the issue is the conversion for CAR is not reflecting correctly in the info record, it is 1 CAR = 1 KG in inforecord. In Purchasing view, We have maintained CAR as order unit. and variable order unit as 2 (active with own price).
The conversion in inforecord should be as same as the article UoM conversion. Can you please throw some light on why is this happening?
Many thanks,
Maniraj

Hi,
I have checked inforecord log, there is no change log.
If the UoM measure has not been transferred to inforecord, the ideal conversion should be 1 KG = 1 KG, but in my case its 1 CAR = 1 KG, the order unit is getting transferred, why not the conversion value (1 CAR = 12 KG).
When i create directly throught MM41, all the details in the Note applies, and everything is fine.
Thanks,
Maniraj

Replenishment in SAP Retail - Article with multiple UOM/EAN

Dear all,
I am using SAP Retail. I have an article with multiple unit of measurement as well as multiple EAN. A good example of this article will be canned soft drinks. It comes in pack size of each, 6, 12, 24. I have only one article number for this soft drink but I maintained multiple UOM and EAN for this article.
When I run auto-replenishment, I can only run it based on one of the packed size (fixed it as the default ordering unit).
Is it possible to run auto-replenishment for the various packed size?
Best Regards
Junwen

Hi,
One suggestion. You can buy it in UOM bottle, minimum qty: 6 bottle. Multiples: Your vendor that decide the package size. When you do the GR then set the UOM of the size package, set a lot size calculation (each 6 units) or rounding profile.
Regards,
Eduardo

Default data for article master -Purchasing/Logistics view

Hello,
What is the difference between below configuration settings:
1. Logistics general --> Basic data retail --> General control, retail master data --> tab Control parameters for article master --> field 'vendor default data'
2. Logistics general --> Business Partner --> Vendor --> controls --> Define account groups --> go to details --> tab default values
Are these settings intended for same purpose ( e.g. copy default data from vendor master to article master) ?
Thanks,
Pat.

Found the answer
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Purchasing Data
All changes that you make to the reference data in the vendor master record are copied to the purchasing data in the article master record if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Business Partners in Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Vendors.
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Logistics Data
The changes are also copied to the site-specific logistics data if the vendor is either the sole vendor or the regular vendor and if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Logistics Basic Data: Retail in General Control, Retail Master Data. For more information, see Vendors: Copying Changes to Other Data Records.
