Variant Configuration / Need for a separate forum

Dear Moderators,
I have been contributing, accessing and extracting information from this forum for my projects and trainings. Recently we have added lot of new forums especially in SD, a separate forum for billing, sales etc.
On the same path, I feel that it will add immense value if a new forum for Variant Configuration is created. As this is an area which touches various modules, and various applications like configurable materials in SD, Release procedures in MM, etc, people can share all the information regarding variant configuration in a common forum like this.
May I please request you to consider this and take it forward if this makes some sense.
Any feedback on this is welcome, especially from people like Rajesh Banka, Laxmipathy etc who have been here for quite sometime in SD

I'm going to respectfully disagree.
I saw something similar at elementsvillage.com when they created a "Mac-Specific" forum. People who had questions that really had nothing to do with their Mac, for example "Can't open RAW from D7000", still put the question in the Mac-Specific forum, because they were using a Mac. As a result, the community was fragmented in ways that had nothing to do with the question. People who might have benefited from this question but didn't have a Mac and so didn't look in the Mac-Specific forum, and didn't get the answer as quickly. People who asked questions in this forum that had nothing to do with Macs wound up relying on a smaller community of experts to help solve the problem. I know I certainly never read that forum, so I didn't provide answers, nor did I learn from the information in that forum. I consider that decision to create a "Mac-Specific" forum to be a failure.

Configurations needed for Proxies.

What are the all configuration steps for using a Server proxy.?

Hi Soumyasanto Sen ,
Proxy generation converts non-language-specific interface descriptions in WSDL into executable interfaces known as Proxies. Depending on the target programming language, you choose one of the following:1. Java Proxies. or 2. ABAP Proxies.
We can interface to XI through proxies. From WAS 6.20, proxy generation feature enables application systems to communicate with XI using proxies. Proxy generation enables you to create proxies in application systems. Proxies encapsulate the creation or parsing of XML messages and the communication with the relevant runtime components required to send or receive the messages.
There are two types of Proxies.
1. Java Proxies.
2. ABAP Proxies.
Java proxies are used when java applications needs to send and receive data and ABAP proxies are used when ABAP applications needs to send and receive data.
The following websites contained detailed explanation (PDF & PPT docs) on Configurations needed for Proxies:

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA

Your iMac does have wireless capability. It does need, however, some wireless network in order to connect to the Internet. It sounds like there are several networks in your area, including one Belkin router that is not encrypted and several other networks that are. I presume that you would know if the Belkin one is yours, and you would have mentioned it. Do not use someone else's network without their permission. In some jurisdictions it is illegal, in others it is merely foolish.
It is impossible to know what Xfinity has given you. Possibly it is only a cable modem, or perhaps it has a router built in. Call them and ask them. If it has a router built in, get them to help you set it up. Note that some tech support people for Internet service providers will resist working with Macs. Be persistent, it is not that different.
If they did not provide a router, you will need to get one. Apple makes the AirPort Extreme base station, the AirPort Express base station and the Time Capsule. Other companies have their own. Be sure you get one that is up to date and has 802.11n capabilities (for the highest speed) and go on from there.
Best of luck.

Variant Configuration, Procedure for BOM Quantity Calculation

Hi, everybody,
I need to solve this problem and can't have any idea if this is possilbe.
Imagine a company that manufactures for customer specific requirement "plastic rectangles" (Length A, Width B).
Finished Product has a ZFG variant class with class 300.
Class ZFG has two characteristics, LENGTH and WIDTH
BOM for the finished product has one item class "Plastic" which can be replaced with any Plastic assigned to this class. Base unit of measure of Plastics is KG. If any plastic code has its own specific weight per area how can I calculate how much weight (Kg) I need for specific sales order?
The formula is Lenght x Width x Specifi Weight per area of chosen Plastic.
The two first values area characteristics values in configuration, the third one is a value dependent of material (could be a characteristic in plastic class too if this helps.....)
Do you know a way to achieve this? Is it possible to do it using a procedure?.
Thanks and best regards,
Sebastián Ligueros

1. Since youare using class item you will hvae one more characteristics called Plastic type in the Class
2. You can maintian one variant table, in which you can maintain Plastic Type and specific Gravity
3. Now using this you can try to infer the value and using a procedure you should be able to calculate the weight for the BOM item.
Kindly let me know for feedback

Configuration needed for SOA call to create PO in classic scenario

Dear Experts,
We are working in the SAP SRM 7.01 with backend system on ecc 6.0 Enhancement pack 5. The scenario configured is classic scenario.
I want to know what are the configurations needed to use SOA calls to create a purchase order in the backend system.
In the system landscape directory, when I use the system type "ERP_3.0" for backend system, the system uses the BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' to create a purchase order in the backend system.
When we use the system type "ERP_4.0", it does not use the BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' to create purchase order. It tries to use SOA calls to create PO in the backend system. However, it fails to create one.
Could you please let me know what are the settings we need to do to create a purchase order in the backend system?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Vardhan,
Can you be a little clear? are you using PDP scenario as in your requirements are coming as PR from ECC into SRM as SC? Is this the scenario?

Is there a need for a sub-forum focussing on PI Sheets, XSteps, etc.?

Hi,
during the last XStep-Café session the question was brought up why there is no separate forum for topics like:
- PI Sheet
- Work In struction Sheet
- XSteps
What do you think? Would you prefer that these topics are discussed in SCM-PP or should there be such a new forum section? How should it be named?
Regards,
Arne

Hi,
thank you for your many positve replies. It seems that the creation of a new sub-topic is hard te get approved by the SDN responsibles. However I have created an own blog on this topic with a lot of useful information. There is no real forum functionality yet but I might add that in the future:

Variant Configuration - Unable for converting a Plnd Order to Prdn Order

Hi Gurus,
Please solve this, while converting a plnd order to prdn order in variant configuration i am getting the following error is
"you cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock"
for fert maintained charateristics and class and class type: 300, strategy: 25, requrements type: kek,
configuration profile created. t-code: cu41 for bike
I created the order from customer requirements t-code:md81
pls guide how can i convert this to prdn order
Edited by: venkat jsr on Jan 31, 2008 6:38 AM

Hi Gurus,
I followed your instructions but the error is as it is only.
Actually when I am converting Plnd order to Production Order in stock requirement list of Configurable material, its not converting.
the error i am getting is " You cannot make an assignment to make to order stock"
and also i am getting the following information - the component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because make to order production and engineer to order production cannot be executed with this order
a possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a sales order / project where an account assignment to a sales order / project is not allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type this is inconsistent
Procedure : Choose another Order type.
Please guide what i have to do for solving the problem.

There is need for a separate sub-forum for Creative Cloud users.

i.e One for regular users of Lightroom and one for Lightroom users through the CC package.

Configurations needed for distributing central contract to backend system

Dear Gurus,
I have configured central contract and getting approved in the local SRM system. Now, I need to distribute the central contract to the backend system. I have already get the PI interfaces configured using the integration scenario Central contract management.
Now, I assign the backend POrg as well as the target values for the backend contract and try to release the central contract. The central contract is getting released. However, no contract is getting created in the backend system.
I donot see any XML messages generated in the SRM system (SXMB_MONI).
Do I need to maintain some settings in the SRM system to enable the distribution of contract to the backend system?
Thansk and regards,
Ranjan

Hi,
When one creates Local Contract; there is one option named 'Distribute' on contract screen.On drop down; one mention back end system. After clicking on it; contract has been created in ECC.
If contract is not getting generated in back end; refer SAP Note: 609222.
Check whether you find any error/information message in Txn BBP_CTR_MON.
SRM Settings:
1. Implement BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS: Determines whether contract is to be created in SRM or ECC.
2. Assign transaction type to attribute CT_PROC_TY in Org Structure.
3. Check whether have maintained message type BLAREL, COND_A, BLAORD.
4. Assign role SAP_BBP_STAL_START_PURCHASER to process contracts.

Configuration needed for setting revaluation of activity type rates

Hi,
I'm not sure about the obligatory settings I should make in order to configure revaluation of activity type rates.
I know that I have to set sth in Plan version and that I have to fill the Activity Type master data in a different way than if I used them without revaluation.
Can you tell me about the settings I should make?
Thanks and regards,
Karol

Hi Karol
Yes u r right u need to first set in plan version and after that its the client's discipline on transaction entry that drives this requirement.
1) If the transaction data is not posted correctly then activity hours will be vague and distorts the price.
2) You can do manual activity posting but that does solve the purpose.
3) Also u can correct activity hours posted for all orders in the system during month end, this also is a huge activity depending on the number of orders
4) Now if u wish to do price calculation thru system u need to decide on two aspects
One - plan ur costs for both activity dependent and activity independent
If your cost center has more than one activity being performed u need to do either cost splitting or enter equivalence numbers while doing activity planning
5) If u wish to hve prices calcualted by system, then during month end u need to run actual cost splitting and then do actual price calculation
6) Then u need to revaluate all your orders with actual activity prices
Hope the above clarifies - do assign points as a way to say thanks

ECM - Variant Configuration - Disable for specific Object?

Once we use change number for a material and Configuration profile, the change number will be mandatory field. This also occurs for CU02 - Object Dependencies, CL02 - Classification, CU60 Variant Tables and CT04 Characteristics.
We know this is a crazy question to some that have strict controls, but we would like to remove the requirement for some materials & configuration that no longer require engineering change management. Has someone experience something similar or implemented a configuration change that would fulfill our requirements?
Reading through the process documents, I believe it is not possible. But I thought I would check with the global experts on this matter.
Best Regards and Thank you for your feedback,
Ed

Hi,
I would suggest you better go with the authorization control for the same. Beacuse by that way you will be alble to meet your requirement up to some extend but by this way as you are asking, there is crezy in true mean as you wrightly said.

Configurations needed for Transportation Lane

Hi Gurus,
Good Day! I would like to know what are the needed configuration in R/3 and APO so transportation lane are automatically created in R/3 once Scheduling Agreement or Inforecord is CIF in APO.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,
No Specific Configuration is required. Following are the steps required to CIF Scheduling Agreement or Inforecord to APO as TLanes.
1. Activate integration model for recieving location and issuing location or vendor for which you want to CIF the Sched. Agreement or Inforecord.
2. Activate Product-Location Integration model with the material required for Inforecord or Sched. Agreement.
3. You need to activate the Integration model with valid IR and Sched. Agreement.
The same will be CIFed to APO as external Procurement relationship/TLane. You need to assign Means of Transport if not otherwise assigned.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Manjit
