Wild Card Postal Codes in Transportation Zones and Postal Code Range in TCM

Hello Experts,
I have 2 queries on Postal Codes usability in SAP TM:
1. Postal Code Transportation Zones:
Business Scenario: Some countries have non-numeric Postal Codes and you can not maintain From and To Postal Code range. System supports Postal Code to be entered as Wild Card (XY1*) in Transportation Zone but does not respect them during charge calculation.
2. Postal Code Range in Rate Table:
There are standard Calculation Bases for Source/Destination Postal Code Range but these do not allow maintaining values like Source Postal Code Range (90100-90199) to Destination Postal Code Range (63100-63199). I am unable to understand the use of these 2 calculation bases since they do not accept range.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vikas Chhabra

I start with the first question: Well, well, well. Probably one of the most underestimated topics in the transportation network. A bit of a background: Postal codes are alphanumeric meaning they allow numbers and characters. Of course for some countries only numbers are required and those are pretty easy to handle. Nevertheless, SAP produces global software and there are countries having postal codes with unfixed length, character first, in the middle, at the end. This makes ranges ugly, tough, sometimes impossible.
The range definition works alphanumeric, which is a position to position comparison based on single chars. You can check the inclusion results in excel or with any database. For the zone definition this can mean that you are forced to enter postal codes and no ranges. Of course this blows up the maintenance effort in the beginning, but ensures the correctness.
I was surprised by your comment that the zone definition allows '*' because this would make this whole thing even more complicated and error prone. I tested it and it does not work, at least for Germany. I think in the address definition per country you can define valid formats for postal codes and there '*' is not valid for Germany. The transportation zone location inclusion will not work with pattern!
In case you have manages to maintain this: I would advise to take the effort and enter at least valid ranges.

  • Change the Transportation zone - No jurisdiction code could be determined

    Dear All,
    when trying to change the Transportation zone for the customer of Brazil ,
    Error message comes as : No jurisdiction code could be determined
    Message no. TAX_TXJCD101
    Even you change a single character in the address any where e.g. Name, City, Postal code- The same message comes.
    Please advice
    Thanks in advance,
    Ranjan

    In other words, your address is currently incorrect according to your tax jurisdiction determination.
    You surely have a tax jurisdiction engine like Vertex and your Vertex (or other) database is not maintained properly.
    As a result the determination, from the maintained element of the address, fails.
    Or simply, your current address is incorrect according to your determination engine.
    You may have a look to your settings in the customizing first.
    SPRO / and start find engine with 'Tax Jurisdiction' as key word.
    Feel free to provide points if useful.

  • Keeping Swing calls on the EDT, app code off the EDT, and boilerplate code

    I have been reading about the EDT and Swing for a while now and I have not been able to find very good tutorials or explanations. I understand that swing calls should be on the EDT and I have seen hints about application code needing to be on its own thread, which seems obvious. I have seen code for how to do this, but it seems like in order to really enforce these rules, I'd have to setup invoke SwingUtilities.invokeLater on all my swing related functions (I have a ton of them), and then for non-swing related functions, I'd have to constantly check to make sure they are not on the EDT with javax.swing.SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread?

    BoBear2681 wrote:
    Also keep in mind that many very quick non-UI tasks can safely be done on the EDT. For example, if you load a very small text file (a few KB), this is usually so fast that there's no need to do it off the EDT. Just pointing out that not literally everything needs to be done off the EDT, just anything that runs long enough to produce a noticeable unresponsive pause in your GUI. Users are okay with an application taking 0.1 seconds to open a file, for example. But doing 10 seconds of number crunching, connecting to a remote server, etc. are the kinds of things you'd want to do off the EDT.That's extremely true, and I meant to touch on that but forgot (yep, my memory is so bad that I forget what I was going to type in the amount of time it takes to post a reply).
    When I first started to figure out the EDT, I became paranoid about keeping non-GUI stuff off of it. However, I've since realized that sometimes it's unavoidable, and usually it doesn't matter anyway.

  • File adapter wild card not working

    Hi Gurus,
    My file adapter seems to have issues with me
    This adapter do not obey me when I specify wild cards. I have tried * , ? and also "Adavnced selection of source file" but no use. Although, he is a perfect gentleman when I specify complete file names.
    Could you please suggest how to tame him?
    Regards,
    AV.

    Hi,
    this is what SAP Help says about it:
    file.sourceFileName=<filename>
    Specify the name of the file that you want to process.
    The name can contain a placeholder (*) at any point, so as to be able to select a list of files for processing.
    The following are valid examples for filename:
    myFile.txt
    my*.txt
    *.txt
    File.
    File.*
    myle.
    Names that comprise more than two parts are also permitted.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards
    Patrick

    My calculation costs is based on stage condition (FRT_PEDIDO).
    My configuration for this scenario is:
    )    Calculation Sheet
    )    Rate Table
    )    Config to condition
    )    Master data to Transportation Zone
    )    Locations included in transportation Zones
    )    transportation Lane
    location “PLC_SBC_014” is my plant and “Z_SP_SUL” is my transportation zone.

  • "Transport zone is not defined for country US"  error during sourcing

    Hi Friends,
        I have an issue that is happening when I transfer purchase reqs from ECC to SRM sourcing. We are on ECC 6.0 and SRM 5.5.
    when there is a transport zone defined for a storage location for a certain plant, then transfer of that purchase req does transfer to SRM SOCO. I get a error "Transport zone MXXXXXX is not defined for country US".
    DNL_CUST_BASIS3, Prod0, Prod1 have been replicated from ECC to SRM. It works if there is no Transport zone defined for a storage location.
    SRM Org structure has Location and Storage locations defined that has Transport Zone and exists in ECC.
    This is stopping me from moving forward with proper testing. Please advise or suggest anyresolution.
    Thanks all
    Viktor P

    Dear Muthu,
       Thanks for the reply. There is another Address spro setting in SRM - Address Management where Transport zones can be nmaintained. I have not tried this Tcode as I do not have authorization.
    Thanks

  • On my i phone account is says...we couldn't verify your address.  make sure you've entered the correct street, city, state, and postal code.

    ive recently purchased an i phone.  i have an ipod with and account.  while trying to access i tunes or apps for purchase, i am able to log in, but then it asks me to validate my info.  so i do.  same credit card, card number,  sec code. billing address, everything that is used on my ipod.  then i try to verify and it says....we couldn't verify your address.  make sure you've entered the correct street, city state, and postal code.  please help.

  • So whenever I try and download an app, apple is making me put in my security code for my visa card. But, it's saying my security code is invalid. And I know that it's right. What do I do?

    Apple is making me put in my card information to get free apps. And when I put in the vista card information it's saying that the security code is invalid. It is also doing this to my brothers account. I have no idea what to do!

    Go to Settings > Store tap on your Apple ID, then billing information.
    Make sure every single bit of information in your credit card is 100% correct and matches the credit card information you have in iTunes (if you have an iTunes account and you have entered the credit card information there).  Make sure your credit card expiration date is accurate and correct.  Make sure that if in iTUnes you said you live at say 150 Red Road, you don't say you live at 150 Red Rd on your iPad.
    Once you've verified the billing information is 100% accurate, save and then try again to download from the App Store.
