Warehouse Management for Third Party Logistic Company

Dear All,
I need your input for the following scenarios:
Company having 5 legal entities
One Legal entity ( X) is Mnaufacturing Cosmetics
Legal entities ( A, B & C ) are the Distribution Companies
5th legal entity ( Y ) is 3PL for the 3 Distribution Companies, A, B & C. Y has a warehouse which stocks the goods of the 3 distribution companies A, B and C. Inventory and goods still belongs to A, B & C
We need to implement warehouse management for Y ( 3 PL) company
Our proposition is to create warehouse structure which will address all the 3 legal entities ( A, B & C). So essentially the assumption is that warehouse is above the company code
We wanted to know the folloiwing:
1)If Y has to service all A, B and C at the same time and it needs to plan the routes for the deliveries created across the legal entities, how is this possible?
2) How will this impact the shipment planning, pick pack and the shipment cost?
Thanks in advance.

I would assume you have separate sales orgs and distribution channels for A, B and C.
But you would have to tie them together at a higher level may be at the comp code level and plan the supply chain from a higher level.
A good forecasting tool will help in distributing and managing inventory across the 3 different distribution companies.
There has to be some type of segregation of distribution between the 3 companies either at geographic level or by volume or something else. Otherwise it will be a real complex business planning and forecasting process if the 3 companies overlap in all aspects.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Using work manager for third party connections

Folks we are trying implement work manager to
Allthough WL is self tuning, and you could "increase the internal socket pool", you have to fully understand the implications of this.
-It increases the # of threads, which ultimately degrades performance, due to the amount of context switching which would have to occur (this is at the application layer)... in general
-It will require additional memory, of which, we'd need to account for this, otherwise, it can run the WL instance out of memory, if we're in a fault condition
Let me explain this "fault" condition a little further...
There's a BIG difference between a 3rd party being down, and a 3rd party being able to respond to our request, but unable to process it in a timely fashion (i.e. they're overloaded, or the tcp connection is happening properly, but the application response from the 3rd party isn't properly responding/working in a timely fashion). We've seen this condition on a # of occasions and need to be able to have a max limit or governor on each 3rd party... of which, my understanding of WL work managers allows for this (I do have to note, I am not experienced with these, and my knowledge is only with what I've had time to read on). Ultimately, I'm trying to prevent the condition I've seen in a # of serious "slow downs" or hang-ups within the application... we should NOT be able to have 3rd party calls hamper the performance or availability of our application

Note that you can reduce the context switching by 'pinning' certain CPUs to handle, for example, the network interrupts.
You can use (on Linux): cat /proc/interrupts (shows information related to hard interrupts).
From http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=8133
"In a multi-processor environment, interrupts are handled by each processor. Two principles have proven to be most efficient when it comes to interrupt handling:
Bind processes that cause a significant amount of interrupts to a CPU. CPU affinity enables the system administrator to bind interrupts to a group or a single physical processor (of course, this does not apply on a single CPU system). To change the affinity of any given IRQ, go into /proc/irq/<number of respective irq>/ and change the CPU mask stored in the file smp_affinity. To set the affinity of IRQ 19 (which in the above example is the network interface card) to the first CPU, we can use echo 2 > /proc/irq/19/smp_affinity."
To configure a work manager properly, you have to throttle the maximum threads and the capacity. The maximum number of threads are the number of threads
that are allowed to run simultaneously. Usually, you set this equal to some resource (such as the number of connections in a data source). This to prevent
contention for that resource (otherwise the thread would be waiting for the resource and thus consuming CPU cycles by polling if can go or not). When the maximum
is reached no other threads are spawned to run. The request that comes in is put into a piece of work and stays that way until an execute thread comes available
to process that work. The number of work instances you allow in your heap can be set by the capacity constraint (which thus throttles the memory consumption).
When the capacity is reached, new requests are rejected.

Third party Return Process
If the vendor grants you a credit memo on a quantity or a value basis, you can then send this credit memo directly to your customer.
The billing type Third-party credit memo (G2S) is available for this. The billing type Third-party credit memo works with the item category TASG (third-party credit memo item). The Billing-relevance indicator F is set in Customizing for Sales for this item category. This means that the cost is not created. In Customizing for Sales, the item category TASG is set at item level in copying control for the billing type G2S (copying control sales document by billing document) as the target item category (source: TAS-> Target:> TASG.)
Process Flow
Create a billing documente with billing type Third-party credit memo (for further information, see the section Creating a billing document in the Billing document). Enter the third-party order as a document still to be processed. The quantities are automatically removed from the invoice.
The above is the process for giving a credit memo which can be adapted for return goods.
Hope it will help you

Generate CSR for Third-Party Certificates

Hi All,
i have an issue when i tried to Generate CSR for Third-Party Certificates,
i follow step by step in the document of cisco until this step:
3.
Now that your CSR is ready, copy and paste the CSR information into any CA enrollment tool.
In order to copy and paste the information into the enrollment form, open the file in a text editor that
does not add extra characters. Cisco recommends that you use Microsoft Notepad or UNIX vi. Refer
to the website of the third−party CA for more information on how to submit the CSR through the
enrollment tool.
After you submit the CSR to the third−party CA, the third−party CA digitally signs the certificate and
sends back the signed certificate via e−mail.
4.
Copy the signed certificate information that you receive back from the CA into a file.
This example names the file CA.pem.
my issue is where i sould copy and paste the CSR information into any CA enrollment tool. i just have done create mykey.pem and myreq.pem in my folder OpenSSL\bin
Please help and Thanks you.
Regards,
Jasa

you have to do more steps using openssl.
before you obtain the third−part certificate, you have to copy that on a notepad text, and you have to obtain an intermediate and root certificate from the company that gives you the certificate.
Then you have to copy and paste on a notepad or gedit:
SSL (the certificate that they give you)
Intermediate (the certificate that you obtain from the company that gives you the certificate)
Root (the certificate that you obtain from the company that gives you the certificate)
name the text file like: allcerts.pem
then... you have to run this commands:
C:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl pkcs12 -export -in allcerts.pem -inkey mykey.pem -out All-certs.p12 -clcerts -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassowrd
C:\OpenSSL\bin>openssl pkcs12 -in All-certs.p12 -out finalcert.pem -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassword
Then you are going to have a file named: finalcert.pem, thats the one you have to update to the WLC. please note that on those lines "yourpassword" is the password you use when you create the certificate and its going to be the same that you have to use for upload to WLC.
Note that you have to use openssl version 0.9.8 because its the only version thats WLC support
If you have doubts please contact me.
Have fun!

Standard SAP process for third party repair or subcontracting repair

Hi All,
Please let me know if there is any standard SAP process for third party repair or subcontracting repair.
Given below is the process in brief.
1. Receive the repairable product in the warehouse from customer
2. Do the inspection in warehouse
3. Send the repairable product to the subcontractor to do the repair
4. Receive the repaired product from the subcontractor
5. Send the repaired part to the customer.
6. Bill the customer
Please share your inputs if you have any.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Madhu.

Hi there is no SAP standard process for this. I can give you work around for that.
1.. Receive the repairable product in the warehouse from customer - Normal customer returns or customise a movement type to receive it with our without value as per requirement
2. Do the inspection in warehouse - Normal inspection
3. Create a service PO with the vendor.
4. Send the repairable product to the subcontractor to do the repair - Send using 541 movement type to vendor or use the copy of 541 movement type to send to vendor.(you can refer PO also system does not validate)
5. Receive the repaired product from the subcontractor - Reversal of 541
6. Send the repaired part to the customer.
7. Bill the customer

How to know Delivery Note no. for Third Party sales

Hello Experts,
I am configuring Third party sales process.and got the suffcient help from old posts.But i got stuck in MIGO step.While doing MIGO we have to enter PO and Delivery Note No so where to find delivery note no.?
Another confusion is, In some of the posts in community,for third party sales configuratuion MIGO is one of the step while in other similar posts there is no MIGO step instead they have shown direct MIRO after PO creation so which i should follow ?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vikal

Do you really just follow what others have posted and do not double check with the SAP documentation and even more important with your business needs and some logical thoughts?
In all our >750 plants is a guy who receives the material that is coming in, he compares the paperwork with the goods and then enters the receipt in SAP.
This is the normal and logical process of a receipt in your warehouse.
And now compare this with a 3rd party sales, where the goods are shipped from your vendor directly to your customer.
The warehouse guy does not get any papers from a truck driver, he can't count any goods before he could do something in SAP, he does not even know about this order. And exact this situation is the basis for the standard design: no goods receipt, just invoice.
And any deviation is made because of some special requirements (legal and country specific, or just because of an almighty finance department which can't understand that some of their requirements do not make much sense in logistics. e.g. mandatory 3way matches PO - GR - IR which is not worth the name if you force warehouse people to make theoretical receipts which physically never happened and cannot be verified.

How can i get different Condition Type for third-party Purchase Order?

Hi, experts,
for standard PO my Schema works well. now I want to get a different condition type for third-party purchase order. I try to extend field catalog (Pricing Purchasing). The Field PSTYP exists already. However, it is not provided in the field catalog.
How could i do?
Thanks
Rene

Hi Rene,
If you are seeing fields in the field catalog but are not seeing this field when creating the condition table then the field probably does not exist in the KOMG structure for allowed fields for condition structures. KOMG represents the total of KOMK and KOMP which are the pricing communication structures. If your field is not there then you need to append it to item data in INCLUDE KOMPAZ in KOMP since this is an item level field. If it were a header level field you would append it to include KOMKAZ in KOMK. The inclusion of new fields in KOMK or KOMP automatically means that they are also included in KOMG.
After doing this you will see the field when creating a table. There is further documentation on this process in the IMG under SPRO-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Conditions-> Define Price determination Process -> System Enhancements - View the documentation associated to this node in the IMG
Hope this helps,
Matt

It's most likely caused by a client agent setting called "Agent extensions manage the deployment of applications and software updates", see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx#BKMK_ComputerAgentDeviceSettings. It has to be set to "disabled" if you are not using any third party software that plugs into ConfigMgr.

Printable Files for Third Party

Newbie here. I am trying to create printable files, which are self contained, and can be independently printed by a thrid party.
I am wondering if BI Publisher is capable of creating a format where the graphical layout is only stored once, and then the variable data is stored and/or integrated seperately. The goal is to reduce the file size of the files which we would like to send to a third party to be printed, by avoiding fully populated PDF pages, which are identical except for the variable data.
By requesting that the printable files be self contained, I mean that the end result or the printable files would need to be in an industry standard PDF printing format, as the third party printing company does not have BI Publisher, nor access to our databases.

I have come accross FDF and XFDF format that stores the data seperately from the graphics. Can BI Publisher do anything like this?
My documents will generally be 1,000 to 2,000 pages, but the graphics are 80% the same.
Please let me know if there is a way to make my file creation faster and my file size smaller.

MOH for third party sip phones

Hello ,
I using CUCM version 9.1.1.2000-5 .
Does this version support MOH for third party sip phones ?
Thank you

Hi,
I couldn't found better piece of information which list all cases how MoH is implemented for various terminals and hence thought of testing the same. My observations;
SCCP phone -> Hold -> SIP Phone -> MoH plays to SIP phone
SIP Phone -> Hold -> SCCP phone - > Doesn't play MoH
SIP Phone -> Hold -> SIP phone -> Doesn't play MoH
Please note that I have checked with both Xlite and 3CX, results are same.
I have verified in wireshark also, call manager is not sending RTP packets to held party when call is hold by third party SIP phone.
Checked in CUCM 9.1
Thanks

Can someone explain the reason behiind this determination.
P.S.- For all non -Third PartyChild Items (with non-Third Party Item Catefory & Material Type), the Plant is population correctly as per Delivering plant in Material Master.
TIA.

Hi,
Thanks everyone for the feedback.I agree with Samir Danish.It is a standard functionality of SAP which does not allow free goods for BOM material.
However, can someone suggest work around to deal with this issue.I mean if any one has been doing any work around for this issue then please let me know.It s becoming critical for me.

PO document type for third party PO...?

Hello friends,
My client's requirement is that third party PO should have different document type, say ZTRD?
I tried to configure the same with PR and PO doc types. I created new PO type ZTRD. I maintained the combination of PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type ZTRD with item cat S. I also deleted the standard config i.e. combination PR doc type NB with item cat S to PO doc type NB with item cat S.
I created third party SO which created third party PR (doc type NB). But when I tried to convert this PR into PO, still with above config, I am getting error - Doc. type/item cat. NB/S (requisition) <-> NB/S (purch. order) error.
Please help me to configure the Z doc type for third party PO.
Thanks in Advance,
Pat.

Hi
Please try the following, do not delete the standard settings
1) Create Z document type for PR and assign this document type to relevant Schedule line Category ( CS for example) in SD
2) Create Z document type for PO and keep only Item category S & Z document type for the Item category S created for PR.
Hope it helps.
Thanks/Karthik
