  • Error in execute planning sequence variant in process chain

    Hi ,
    While creating an Execute planning sequence variant in process chain in Quality system , i am getting an error" variable variant not selected ' though i created a variable variant and selected it in execute planning seq variant.
    Transporting it from development system didnt work therefore i am trying to create it directly in Quality .
    Any idea what could be the issue.

    Hi,
    Variable variant can be saved for planning sequence in modeler and then cab be used in process chains.
    In process chain you can choose "Execute planning sequence"( separate process type) and add planning sequence with variant.

  • Report variant not transport to ECC 6.0

    hi all,
    after migration from SAP 4.6 to ECC6, i cant see the SAP transaction report variant not transaport over....is there any SAP table store the user variant not transported ?
    Thanks .

    Pls. check manual:
    Phase SAVE_VAR_CHK
    After the upgrade, many of your variants can no longer be used because the relevant selection screens
    have changed. If your Basis Source Release is 4.5B or higher, the SAP system offers two reports to
    save the variants:
    n RASUVAR1 saves your variants on the source system.
    n RASUVAR2 restores the variants in the target system.
    During phase SAVE_VAR_CHK you can decide whether you want the upgrade tool to run report
    RASUVAR1. The report is started in phase JOB_RASUVAR1. If you have decided to run report
    RASUVAR1, phase JOB_RASUVAR2 automatically starts report RASUVAR2 towards the end of the
    upgrade.
    For more information about the reports, see SAP Note 712297.

  • Re-using variants in process chains

    Hi experts,
    Need some clarification on variants used in process chains. I have variants created as they are needed when adding steps like activating an ods. However, I need to re-use this step (activating the ods) in another chain, however I cannot seem to reuse the existing variant as it is a 1-1 relationship (e.g. 1 variant to 1 chain). Is this a limitation to process chains or is there a way to reuse a variant since the step is exactly the same?
    mark

    Hi Mark
    U can reuse the Varian no problem ..
    just search the varian and select it . and then u just need to insert it and while inserting it will ask u "whud i need to display the corresponding PCs attached to this variant " if u dont want u just click on "No" so u can get the Process variant on the maintainnance screen ..
    It not like one Process varian to one PC
    Hope it helps

  • Do we need to create individual shipment document for Transportation Chain

    Do we need to create individual shipment document in Transportation Chain if the forwarding agent is same for all shipment?
    For Example :
    first it takes truck,
             then ship,
             then again truck to reach Customer.
    in all above case forwading agent is same eg: DHL Service

    Hi Doak,
    Yes you need to create individual shipment document in Transportation chain.
    For Example : when the trucks go from their respective shipping points to the harbor, the freight documents should not also contain main leg and subsequent leg information. When you create texts, you would not know if they are supposed to be valid for the preliminary, main or subsequent legs.
    In order to avoid such limitations, we would recommend that you denote a transportation chain using multiple shipment documents. You can create these shipment documents almost automatically by using collective processing.
    If you want depict a transportation chain within a shipment document, you must also accept the limited functions available to you.
    The reason: Almost all shipment document functions refer to the document as a whole:
    1.Outputs can only be printed for the entire document, not for individual legs
    2.Handling units can only be created for the entire document, not for individual   legs
    3. The same is valid for texts, deadlines in general, etc.
    Hope this provides you some clarity.  Reward points if helpful.

  • Transport request creation date

    Hi Experts,
      How can I find creation date of a transport request. I am able to find the last changed date only. Is there any function module or table to find out the transport request creation date.
    Thanks in advance,
    Venkat

    HI
    Check in the table E071, search entries with TR number, and in the results the column OBJ_NAME will have creation date and time.
    Here you get all the details related to the TR.
    Or you can also go to se16 and and give the wild card E* and those are almost related to Transports table.
    Hope this may be help ful to you
    Many thanks

  • Transportation chain / multimode transport

    Dear All,
    1) I got lots of documents for Transportation chain / multimode transport but not able to configure it. Could you please share me the steps involves and brief about configuring Multimode transport such as how many shipment document types / shipment cost document types needs to define etc.
    2) In Shipment cost and Item category definition we assign the cost type such as Shipment header, shipment leg etc. Why do we assign this? What will be effect if I maitain each and every option
    3) In the configuration Define Shipment cost relevancy to shipment type, we can select the check box Header, Leg, Loading point etc. why we use this setting? What will be the effects
    Please let me know on above points
    Thanks & Regards
    Rahul Mirashi

    1)  One Shipment Document Type and One Shipment Cost type is enough
    2)  In IMG path Define Transportation Connection Points, you have to define whether a shipment is related to Load Transfer, Border crossing etc.,  This Transportation Connection Point should be assigned in the next IMG Define Routes and Stages.  Based on this, when you create a shipment document via VT01N, multiple line items would flow under the tab "Stages".  Ideally, this would be applicable in case of exports shipment where you would have stages like Plant to Port, Port to importing country's port, customer destination and for each of these, you have to key in different vendor codes.
    3)  Based on the tick only, when you create shipment cost, the respective amount will be calculated.  For example, if you not checked any of the boxes here and while you create shipment cost in VI01, once you tick the box Transfer, system will throw an error.
    On your query, 
    What will be effect if I maitain each and every option
    I request you to make a test on your own and update your findings.
    thanks

  • Transportation Chain Shipment Planning

    Hello Experts.
    I am currently working on our SAP implementation (Wave 2) project team representing the logistics department.  We are currently processing collective shipments successfully.  I am trying to determine how to incorporate pool shipment planning for a shipping point that will be added in wave 2.  I have reviewed the SAP help documentation for transportation chain shipment planning and have not found a solution.  Please review my shipment scenario and advise how to correctly plan the shipments to allow for 1 manifest tender and cost document from the shipping point with 1st service agent with truckload mode and separate individual tenders and cost documents with alternate service agent(s) and LTL mode.
    Shipping Point (20 deliveries), truckload, Service Agent A (cost document & 1 manifest tender) ---> Chicago, IL -
    >
    Chicago -
    > 1 delivery, LTL mode Service Agent B -> Champaign, IL (1 cost document, 1 tender)
    Chicago -
    > 2 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent B -> Matoon, IL (1 cost document, 2 tenders)
    Chicago -
    > 5 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Jacksonville, IL (3 cost documents, 3 tenders)
    Chicago -
    > 4 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Decatur, IL (2 cost documents, 2 tenders)
    Chicago -
    >5 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Quincy, IL (5 cost documents, 5 tenders)
    Chicago -
    > 3 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Summit Argo, IL (3 cost documents, 3 tenders)
    I am also interested in how collective processing can be used to create these type of shipments.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

    Transportation planning point : ATP1
    Item determination procedure group : 0001
    Service agent group :
    Shipping type group :
    As per the above system message, you should leave blank second and third tabs of your screen shot.  Remove those (0001) values and retry.

    Characteristics and class are master data so system will not ask for transport.
    if you want to migrate to another system than you have to create the LSMW (upload program)
    using this you can upload all the char value into release strategy in wach client
    now if you are migrating the whole client than system will copy the class and char along with release strategy but not value.
    to upload the char value of release strategy
    use LSMW with std  object 0130.
