WIP for Repetetive continuous process

Hi,
Can any one clarify how the WIP will be calculated in Repetitive manufacturing for process industry. The production is continuous with output of 50MT/Hour until there is a shutdown. The materials will always available and flowing throght the pipe lines.
thanks and regards
Murugean

Dear Mario,
I agree to your point that if we are doing final backflush there will be no WIP for REM.
Assume that they start the plant initially there is nothing in the pipeline and reactor. The raw materials are feed from the pipeline continuously. The reaction started and the plant starts deliverying output. When we do backflush we can do GR for the finished product and the Goods issue for the raw materials. But the complete system pipeline and reactors are filled with materials. Is it not to be considered as WIP.
The production plant is continuously working and deliverying output at a rate of 50 MT/HR output.
So the quantity of raw materials equivalent to the materials initially loaded to fill the reactor and pipelienes will always be in the sytem. Is it ti be considered as WIP.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Graphing measurement versus position for a continuous roll based process

I am working on a DAQ application for a continuous roll-based process. What I want to do is plot measurement versus position. What is unique is that the graph x axis has to reset for each new roll that is created for the process. i.e. I want to plot measurement versus position in a roll. The attached file shows what I am trying to do. Has anyone tried this? Is it even possible to have positive numbers on both sides of a zero point in a graph?
Thanks,
John

John,
Unfortunately, there wouldn't be a way to have an arbitrarily numbered x-axis as you are describing. In cartesian coordinates, you cannot have repeated points like this.
If you know how many points are acquired per roll, one way to do this is to clear a charts history after this number of points and for every clear increment a roll counter. See the attached VI for an idea of what I'm talking about.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
DESCRIPTIONS:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the DAQ Configurations tab, specify the sample rate, samples per channel, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
NOTE: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to Extract Even Angle Reference tab. Specify the number of samples to acquire and the # of revs in reference which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click Start to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in Even Angle Reference.
4. Switch to the Remove Slow-roll Errors tab. Click Start to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click Stop in this tab to stop the acquisition.
ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

WIP for order

Please explain about work in progress for order

Hi Balaji
WIP means work In process. That means you have issued the components to production & the production not yet completed.
This situation you will normally during month ends/year ends.
you have issued components & production is half way & not yet fully confirme & Goods not received.
Then to calculate the cost of the components & aslo acdtivity costs.
Co guy will run WIP transaction KKAX or KKAO.
This way they will arrive at cost & include in monthly finance statement.
Hope it is clear.

How to catch date errors and continue processing in a PL/SQL procedure

I'm updating a date field with dates constructed from day, month and year fields. The incoming data has many instances of day and month that are not valid dates, ex 11 31 2007. There is no 31st day in November.
I would like to write a pl/sql script to scan the table containing these values and log the rows that produce conversion errors.
I thought I could do this with exceptions but there are no exceptions that correspond to the ORA-01847 error for mismatched day and month.
Here is what I tried (the print procedure is a local wrapper for DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line):
PROCEDURE date_check IS
start1 DATE ;
BEGIN
select to_date(nvl(yearcollected,'9999') ||'/'|| nvl(monthcollected,'01') ||'/'|| nvl(daycollected,'01'),'YYYY/MM/DD'))) into start1 from incoming_data where id=1 ;
     BEGIN
          update temp_test set test_date = start1 where id=1 ;
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          print('Date error message from exception block');
     END;
print('Processing continues after handling date exception') ;
END date_check ;
Is there a way to catch this kind of error and continue processing after logging a message?
-=beeky

Hi, Beeky,
There are lots of different error messages associated with bad dates. Rather than try to catch them all, I use a BEGIN ... EXCEPTION block that contains nothing but a TO_DATE call. This is one of the rare occassions when I think "EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS" is okay,
The following function comes from a package. If you want to make a stand-alone function, remember to say " *CREATE OR REPLACE* FUNCTION ...".
--          **   t o _ d t   **
--     to_dt attempts to convert in_txt (assumed to
--          be in the format of in_fmt_txt) to a DATE.
--     If the conversion works, to_dt returns the DATE.
--     If the conversion fails for any reason, to_dt returns in_err_dt.
FUNCTION     to_dt
(     in_txt          IN     VARCHAR2                    -- to be converted
,     in_fmt_txt     IN     VARCHAR2     DEFAULT     'DD-MON-YYYY'     -- optional format
,     in_err_dt     IN     DATE          DEFAULT     NULL
RETURN DATE
DETERMINISTIC
AS
BEGIN
     -- Try to convert in_txt to a DATE. If it works, fine.
     RETURN     TO_DATE (in_txt, in_fmt_txt);
EXCEPTION     -- If TO_DATE caused an error, then this is not a valid DATE: return in_err_dt
     WHEN OTHERS

Tracking of wip material in externally processed operation

Hi All,
As part of production process, most of the operations would be processed internally in the manufacturing plant and some of the operations would be
performed by vendor at his own premises (outside the manufacturing plant). Material will be called as WIP (work in process) material if it completes some of the operations (two operations completed out of four operations) in production process without forming its final product shape
WIP (work in process) material will be sent out to vendor against externally processed operation in production order. We’ve a business requirement to track the WIP (Work in Process, No inventory yet in system) material status details such as when was the WIP material shipped out to service provider by purchasing department or returned back to production floor from stores after receiving from vendor for externally processed operation in production
order
The scenario is explained below and the process in SAP would be as follows.
1. Production order would be created for
respective header material (semi-finished/finished) with required quantity with five operations to be processed, for example: OP10 (turning), OP20 (drilling), OP30 (milling), OP40 (shaping), OP50 (powder coating). OP10, OP20, OP40, OP50. would be processed internally in the shop floor of the manufacturing plant
2.After finishing the internal processing at OP10 and OP20, Operation no 30 (OP30-milling) for the respective header
material would be processed externally by sending the partially processed part(WIP) to vendor outside the manufacturing plant. In SAP, the partially processed part doesn't have any material code and will not be updated in the inventory and will be treated as WIP (work in process) and automatic purchase requisition for external processing through production order is generated as follows
For OP30 Milling (Externally processed operation), from PP module perspective, we would be maintaining a control key which supports external
processing in the Operation 30 (OP30, external processed operation - An externally processed operation is not carried out within own organization, but is assigned to a vendor, who then does the work) with relevant information such as material group, purchase group, description of operation, cost element to track costs in the production order.
When the respective production order is saved, system creates a purchase requisition for external processed operation 30. We can see
the number of the purchase requisition on the external processing tab of operation details screen of OP30 in SAP Production order.
Purchasing department generates a purchase order against the automatic purchase requisition generated in production order, which informs the
vendor which service is required.
With reference to the purchase order – service oriented, the WIP material (no material code exists in SAP) is sent out to vendor. After the material has been processed, the vendor delivers the material back to manufacturing plant. When a goods receipt against purchase order is posted at manufacturing plant, the system displays the received quantity on the external processing tab of operation details screen of the operation - OP30 in production order and also displays in order information system reports. It also possible to track the cost incurred for external operation. However, Goods receipt against production order does not cause an increase in the quantity and value of the warehouse stock of header material of production order.
The above mentioned process is not a subcontracting process - where in we send raw materials and receive semi-finished/finished materials from vendor
3. The respective partially processed part (WIP) received from vendor is sent to shop floor to complete the rest of the process
in OP40 (shaping) and OP50 (powder coating).
4. After OP50, the respective header material (semi-finished/finished) of the production order will be received (goods
receipt against production order) as inventory in respective storage location.
With reference to the above process, we can track the status of receipt of WIP material from vendor after processing at his premises;
however, we can’t track when WIP material ( after completing processing at OP20) was sent out to vendor for external processing by purchasing department and when WIP material was returned back to production shop floor for further processing at OP40 after receiving from vendor by stores.
Please provide your feedback for the possibility to track the details of WIP material (no material code exists in SAP system) sent out to
vendor and received back at shop floor from stores for external processed operation of production order
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Process what ever you have explained is the right process with respective to operation wise subcontracting as per SAP Best practice. As you rihtly said in operation wise subcontracting PR is created with any material code. Once PR is created after PO and GR actual cost of that particular operation will be seen on the order. I believe sub contact operation after GR can be confirmed through confirmation transactions. Since it is subcontract operation specfic to peration seperate inventory is not tracked instead cost is reflecting directly on order
If you to want to track the inventory of the intermdiate product then you need to have a seperate material code for intermediate product (Eg A) received after second operation and do seperate subcontacting PR for seperate new material (Eg B) by issuing the intermediate material (Eg. A). Upon receivng GR for PO inventory will be updated for the new material (Eg B).This new material can be issued to your final product which has operation 0040 and 0050. Here two different material codes will be required.
Else follow the suggestion given by expert Caetano.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

OWB mappings to skip rows that are in error and continue processing

OWB mappings to skip rows that are in error and continue processing.
1) Enter a record into an error log
2) Skip rows that are in error
3) and continue processing
Type of information could be needed in the error log:
SY_LOG_ERROR_KEY
ERROR_TIMESTAMP
MAP_NAME
SOURCE_RECORD
ERROR_CODE
ERROR_MESSAGE
ERROR_NOTES
Example:
If the source table has five records, in that 3 records has some error.
When I run the OWB mapping to load the source data to target table, OWB should skip the 3 record and load all the remaining record. This is our requirement.
Another think I want to store the error record details in a error log table.
Can u plz tell me whether it is possible in OWB. If not means please give some suggestion to do this.

Hi,
thanks for ur help, As is OWB version is 10.2.0 so for set based it is not working. with your idea i create a POST PROCESSING MAPPING. it is now working fine.

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.
See also: Display/Maintenance of Process Chain Attributes ® Execution User.
Features
For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

How to Map Fomulas for Float Glass Process

Hi All,
Can anybody suggest how to map formulas for float glass process.
As in float Glass process continuous production is going on single line, within that continuous ingredients are added in furnace and molten glass mass is coming out. this molten glass is now adjusted to particular thickness and then finally cut into specific sizes as per cusotmer requirment.
Final product is in various thickness, width and length.
Entire process is automated.
If anybody already implemented same scenario, please share knowledge.

Hi
The following is the mapping process and it is tricky process need to map carefully.
You can define this as a single formula.
Output: Packed - cut to size - Finished Good Item.
Input: All the Raw materials (Sand, Dolamite, Limestone, Soda Ash, Sodium Sulphate, Carbon, Iron Oxide)
Packaging materials + Labels + Boxes etc.
Define Routing:
Resource: Furnace, Any other importance resource like Equipment that controls thickness, cutter etc, Labor, Associated Overhead
Create recipe using the formula and routing.
Various factors that can affect the mapping:
1) Formula maintenance: You have to define formula for each output item.
2) Possibility of dynamic determination of output item: If it is possible to produce different combination of thickness/width (and hence different FG item) in the same batch, then this won't be the right mapping.
3) Process variations: Also formula mapping depends on how accurate is production process. If user wants to produce item X (say thickness 10mm) but due to quality issue produced item Y (say thickness 9mm) and such cases happens very often, this won't be right solution.
4) Inventory measurement: This will determine the break-points. If you cannot measure the quantity (or even estimate) then you cannot define it as an intermediate item.
I will explain how point 4 can lead to different way of formula mapping.
Say you have a furnace that needs to run continuously for better quality or throughput. Hence you will be continuously adding raw materials to furnace and produce different outputs. You can break the single formula into multiple formulas as -
Formula 1) Output: Molten mass of glass
Input: All the Raw materials (Sand, Dolamite, Limestone, Soda Ash, Sodium Sulphate, Carbon, Iron Oxide)
Formula 2) Output: Packed - cut to size - Finished Good Item.
Input: Molten mass of glass
To have formula in such fashion you should have a way to measure or estimate the weight of Molten mass of glass.
If you are estimating the weight, there should be historical data available to determine what should be realistic output quantity for given input quantity. How much will be process loss and loss due to unwanted by product such as slag etc.
Further you can break formula 2 as
Output: One large sheet of give thickness
Input: Molten mass of glass
Output: Packed - cut to size - Finished Good Item.
Input: The large sheet of give thickness.
This kind of different mapping is possible which normally depends on:
1) Complexity of process
2) How complex BOM structure user wants to have
3) Are there any benefits of maintaining such complex system - like accurate costing or accurate production monitoring or facilitating planning process.
4) Can user maintain the complex system? Are they ready to capture data at finer level. Is it possible to capture the data.
5) And most important thing is how to handle exceptions. If every thing goes smoothly as planned (less exceptions) then user can have and afford any level of complexity. But if there are many exceptions to the normal process you have to concentrate more on how to handle the exceptions.
6) Satisfy all users: Accounting, Planning, Production, Quality, Inventory handling. Formula/Recipe touches all these modules.

CORM --- There is still WIP for order u201Cu2013 error

Dear SAP Experts
When doing CORM (close process order), the error message u201CThere is still WIP for order u201Cu2013 WIP in financial accounting is still to be cleared.
For this process order, the WIP is calculated in period 11 2009,The order was final confirmed and final settlement to COPA was done on feb 2010, So we tried to reverse the settlement , the settlement on feb 2010 is getting reversed ,but the WIP in period is not reversing in KO88
How to reverse the WIP posted in period 11 2009 ,now the period is closed for year 2009. now the order status was in CNF . Please suggest a solution for this .
Thaanks
Partha

HI,
WIP-posting for a given period is reversed when the settlement for this period is reversed.
As this is in an already closed fiscal year there is no way to do so as this will change accounting figures for closed fiscal years.
What causes the "WIP is not zero for order..." message? This needs to be solved and I doubt that the reversal of the old WIP settlement will help you on this.
Best regards, Christian

Catch a JBO-26041 error on insert, but continue processing

re-post:
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm creating new rows in a ViewObject within a loop. It's possible that the record that I'm trying to create already exists, so I want to catch a JBO-26041 error and basically ignore it (don't insert/create new row) and continue processing/creating rows within the loop. Committing at the end of the loop.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

try {
row = vo.createRow();
row.setAttribute("ScreenObjectId", objectIdList);
row.setAttribute("AccessId", accessId);
am.getTransaction().postChanges();
} catch (JboException je) {
if ("26041".equals(je.getErrorCode)))) {
// ignore error, don't insert
????? what can I do here?
} /// for loop
if (am.getTransaction().isDirty()) {
am.getTransaction().commit();

Teri:
This looks like a duplicate thread. Please refer to
Catch a JBO-26041 error on insert, but continue processing
Thanks.

Techniques for smooth continuous motion in a game

Hello all,
I'm working on a brick-breaker variant and all is going well except for the motion of the ball-- it isn't as smooth as I'd like. I've done some reading on the subject and have come away with two promising techniques for smooth continuous animation:
1. Use time based position update functions rather than frame-based. This basically allows you to cheat the SWF's FPS setting and make a certain object move more fluidly without jacking up the entire movie's FPS. This is handy and does have a dramatic effect, but it also costs much CPU and/or battery power to process so it (might) not be suitable for continuous motion. It is better left to tweens and other animations that are both short and critical. Also, I found that in order to get the ball moving at a reasonable speed for difficult gameplay I had to either lower the time delay or increase the velocity modifier to the point that the ball appeared to half-vanish much of the time (presumably) because it was getting too far ahead of the movie's frame renderer. As such, this method really isn't suitable for managing continuous core gameplay mechanics.
2. Convert velocity modifiers to floating point values rather than integers. This worked very well to smooth out the motion a bit, and has had no adverse side effects so far as I can see. It doesn't quite get the ball to the level of smooth animation I'd like, however.
Currently my movie's FPS is set to 45 and I'd prefer not to go any higher than that if possible. With floating point modifiers and 60 FPS everything is very smooth, but I am wary of using an FPS setting so high, particularly as this is eventually going to be a mobile app and therefore battery life is a consideration. Does anyone know any more tricks to smooth continuous, game-mechanics-centric motion?
Is there perhaps any magic that can be worked with the new Stage Video API and/or any other hardware acceleration offered by flash player/AIR? Is Stage Video even usable in iOS and/or Android apps created in Flash CS5?
Thanks,
CCJ

I am looking for a word processing app

I am looking for a word processing app that I can use for sending .doc and .docx format papers via email or uploading them to websites directly from my ipad 2 without having to export them to or sync them with my actual computer. Does the Pages app allow users to do this? I need to make a purchase of such an app soon. If this app is incapable of these actions, can anyone suggest an app or design an app for me that does them?

Pages can export documents in MS Word format. When I last did this (with Pages '09, the Mac version), the result was a .doc file.
Note that this is a translation, and like most translations, it's not always a perfect one. Some features of Pages are not supported in MS Word, and some Word features are not supported in Pages.
For a more precise answer wrt Pages for iOS, you should repost your question in the iWork For iOS community. The link will take you there.

While we created the service order as a fallow up document of the quotation system unable to create the PR. System showing the above error in the service order.
We created the service order with same items directly not as fallow up document to quotation PR created with out any fail.
As per my analyses above error because system unable to find out the Internal order to create the PR hence we created service order as a fallow up document of the service quotation.
Revert require data to understand the issue more.

Dear Gurus,
Thanks for your update. we checked as per your suggestion but the issue is PR is not determining the IO while creating the PR.
We used the different item cat in quotation and service order system generating the PR, But our Clint want to use the same item cat in the both service order and quotation.
If we created the quotation after that service order with the service line item and spare part line item system creating the IO (internal order) but PR not generating.
Please help me in this scenario what should we do.
Best Regards,
Prakesh.

Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try agai

I have just had a Windows XP failure and took the opportunity to replace with Windows 7. After I reinstalled PhotoShop CS(1) the message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again" is shown and forces PhotoShop to close. I have 4Gb of Ram installed and a total of about 10Gb of Page File space on three partitions of a 500Gb HDD. The system is not heavily loaded! However, I cannot access Photoshop to check scratch disk allocation. How to fix???

Yes, there are many forums, and it can be confusing. Your question has the best chance of being answered if it is in the proper place. I think it is there now.
