Material ledger wrong cost component split

i have change the price detemination from '2' to '3' in the material ledger in period 04/2011.
now i wont to execute costing run for actual cost in period 10/2010. to do this i have update tables CKMLPRKEKO e CKMLPRKEPH..
in this mode I don't have error in costing run, but i have a big problem . i don'have a correct cost component split becouse all the value is on row material.
i give a look to the SAP table and i find table MLAUFKEPH and table MLKEPH that don't have data for period 10/2010.
someone can help me?
thank you.
Your issue is not related to FI but with MM, therefore your thread was moved to MM forum so the experts will be able to help you better.
FI Moderator.

I think this table gets updated only during changes to the material price(Accounting View) thats basically price change.
Once the Material is created, price changes are carried out using MR21.

SMD: Wrong system component definition from SMSY

Hi!
I am using SOLMAN 7.0 EhP1 and have successfully set up SMD functionility.
Among other I have a SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 that of course has only J2EE stack.
When I look into SMSY SOLMAN addes for my Portal with only J2EE stack additionaly ABAP stack.
This setting troubles the SMD set up via http://server:port/smd because I do not have any ABAP stack within my Portal.
Does some one know some workaround for this problem?
Thank you very much!
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
there are 2 possible causes for this problem:
1. Your PPMS data is outdated: Note 1283307 https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1283307
2. Implement the following note on your system: 1301106 https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1301106
You can also use the central correction note 1172948 for EhP1 which contains all known issues for the basic scenarios in EhP1 (this includes Diagnostics)
Best regards

Can we Set the Default SAP Component while Creating Support Message

Hi Friends,
I Have got requirement like, when we create the support desk message from any application system by default the sap component should get selected which we have determined in Solman.Our Business secnario is too complex user give create the support message without giving the Sap Component or they give wrong sap Component, so we want to set the sap component get selected by default while creating the support desk message, guide me in solving this issue.
Regards
Charan

I think your logic is reversed. I think it's better to let users create messages from the application areas from which they are having the problem. Based on the standard SAP component which defaults into the component field, the ticket can be routed to one of your 20 teams. This is where the agent detemination rule for support team can be configured. There are a number of message on the forum regarding support team configuration. This way, if your 20 teams can't solve the problem (for example SAP defect) then the message can be forwarded directly to SAP using the correct component. Good luck.

Setting color of a specific line?

okay so in swing is it possible to set a portion of the text in a text field to a different color? Like in my chat program(below) can I make it so all incoming chat(instring) is blue and all outgoing text(string) is red?
Am I using the wrong text component for changing the color of a line? Should I even be using J text components for this?
The tutorial often puts tons of different text components in to its examples, and uses odd methods to change the color.
It seems that I have to use something like setCaretColor, but i am not clear on how to use this in the way I want to use it.

Hmmmm im sorry but Im not quite sure I understand how to do this.
Do you have to know the exact digits at which the text starts and ends?
or can you, as mentioned just use html tags to set the text color?
If i were to highlight a line of the text, would that text be highlighted even if its location in the string changed?
It would seem that tags would be easier but from what I have tried they don't seem to work in editor panes, but the ydo work in buttons
Im sorry, Im being a bit of a pest, but I have not been doing java for that long, and I do not have a teacher, so all of my questions have to go here.

MSS business Pack 60.1.2 iviews (Appraisals)

We are using MSS business Pack 60.1.2. Two iviews with in
the 'Staff' workset group,
a. AppraisalOverview
and
b. EditAppraisal
are calling a function module groups
HRWPC_APPRAISALSOVERVIEW
and
HRWPC_APPRAISAL
which seem like using the old tables belonging to the
previous release of 50.4 or older.
Did any one ran in to this situation, and found any
solution ?
This seems like case for an OSS message, and I searched
for one, but I can't find. So I want to make sure it is
an established problem or not.
Thanks in advance,
Prasad Nutalapati

Infact, there is already an OSS message existing. I did
search with wrong 'application component' name.
Inbrief, the solution is that you are not supposed to use
those two iviews with ECC50, since they belong to prior
release of HR implementation.
Hope this helps,

JMS -- PI -- IDOC Party Communication

Hi,
I have a scenario JMS --> PI --> IDOC and vice-versa. JMS is an external system, so using PARTY communication. SAP System is within customer landspace.
My doubt is - I have to import a Business System in ID for the IDOC (SAP system). Now where should I import this Business System? Should I import the SAP Business System under Party or under Without Party?
If I am not wrong Business Component for JMS will come under the Party; have a doubt about the Business System.
Thank you,
Pankaj.

If this is in another landscape then use Party..
Ok. So nowI have imported the Business System (SAP ECC) under Without Party and will create the Business Component for JMS under Party.
Thank you,
Pankaj.

CRM business package 60.1.2 vs 60.2.3

Hi,
We are currrently investigatiing integrating CRM 4.0 functionality into Portal 6.0 SP19 using business packages.
I would like to know what are the main differneces between CRM Business Packages 60.1.2 and 60.2.3?
The link to online documentation via https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio seems to point to the same information for both. (http://help.sap.com/Business_Packages/EN/93/35C73C3D91995BE10000000A114084/frameset.htm)
Which is the correct version to use with SAP Best Practices V2.60, N12?

ABAP / using of 'balance sheet structure' or 'cost element group structure'

Hi together,
is it possible to use balance sheet structures (trx. ob58) or cost element group strucutures within an ABAP coding?
(including total and subtotal lines)
It would be great if there is any function module or class...
Thanks for any help

Hi Shreenath
This is very much possibie and correct as well
Eg: You assign GL 123456 to SFG Material ABC... In Itemization, this GL would show you a value of say, 100 USD
When you execute cost run of XYZ, which contains ABC - This 100 will show against GL 123456.. BUt, this 100 would comprise of raw mat, labor, power, overheads, etc
So, at component level the secondary cost element for Labor, power, Overheads will roll up to respective components in CCS.. Hence, this difference is very much possible
I dont know if the same is the case with you.... As long as the total is matching, you should not worry.... I have full faith in this aspect of the system that it would never assign a GL to wrong cost component

Problems with focus traversal after moving to j2sdk_1.4.1_02

Hi,
Just moved to j2sdk_1.4.1_02 and we are having problems where
focus stays on wrong UI component e.g. a user(user2) is taking edit/write permissions from another user(user1) that has write permissions. User1 is told that they will lose write permissions in
the next 15 minutes ( information dialog displayed on their screen ) while at the same time on user2's window a text label is updated
every 5 seconds to say how long before they will have write permissions,
however, the information dialog displayed on user1 hangs and
the user can't remove this dialog. Control seems to stay with user2.
This used to work with the previous java version we used.
Hope someone can help,
Thanks

Didn't say what version you came FROM, but I'm guessing if
you're having focus related problems it was from PRIOR to 1.4
when focus handling was revamped.
You probably need to make sure you are using requestFocusInWindow()
everywhere instead of requestFocus().
Check here and possibly search for 1.4 and KeyboardFocusManager
for new focus handling tutorials.

Updating the bills of ATO items

Hi,
We have identified one of the component in top ATO Model bills with wrong UOM.
ATO items (config items) were already created with this wrong UOM component (as part of bills).
Now we created a new part with correct UOM and assigned it to top ATO Model.
How to update all the these ATO items (bills) with new part/component.
Thanks,
Srini.

Another way to create itemRenderer for datagrid is to have a custom components that implements these objects
mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer,mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer, mx.core.IFactory
For example
<s:SkinnableContainer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer,mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer, mx.core.IFactory">
private var _data:Object;
private var _listData:BaseListData;
public function newInstance():*
return new myItemRenderer; // name of your renderer
public function set data(value:Object):void
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
[Bindable("dataChange")]
public function get data():Object
public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
public function get listData():BaseListData
</s:SkinnableContainer>

What's wrong in my customer component

Hi all,
I'm newer to JSF, and I am writing a component which extends UICommand,
The component is same to commandButton exclude that it preventing from duplicately submit .
When I complete it, I found that it doesn't fire the action. I found that the when the page is submitted by pressing h:commandButton, In the renderer class's docode method,I can get the button's clientID which is pressed.But when I click
the customer button, there is no my customer button's clientID in the requestParameterMap. Can any body tell me what's wrong .
here is my renderer's decode method:
public void decode(FacesContext context, UIComponent comp) {
        logger.debug("decode begin");
        Map map = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
        for(Iterator ite =map.keySet().iterator();ite.hasNext();){
            logger.debug(ite.next());
        if(map.containsKey(comp.getClientId(context))){
            logger.debug("queue event");
            comp.queueEvent(new ActionEvent(comp));
        } else {
            logger.debug("submitted by other component");
}

I got it, thanks . I miss the name property.

Wrong component aspect in the design tab of the jsp page

Hi,
Dont know if you can help me, but, I was developing my app and all of the sudden in the design tab of my jsp page the components stop appearing with the correct aspect (that is, a combobox, for example, is a edit with a little button on the side) and started to appear as squares with the name of component above the square.
I dont know what Ive done wrong, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ana Azevedo

Thanks for your responses, but I already tried both cases before I posted the thread and neither worked.
I don't have errors or warnings in the structure panel, creating a new JSP JSF page doesn't work either and I have this situation for 3/4 days, so I reopened JDeveloper a lot in between.
Meanwhile I started my app all over again because it was still very small (5 pages), but it had some aspects that I'm having difficult to make again, so it was best if I could resolve my problem.
Thanks again,
Ana Azevedo

Whats wrong with my IP textfield component?

Hi,
I have made a component to be used for entering IP Addresses....it should work so that when the user presses a . or TAB, that the cursor moves to the next octet...if the user enters 3 digits, it should go to the next octet... but for some reason it doesnt work. the user can enter as many digits, etc as they want.
