Z-document-type vs. standard-document-type

All,
I'm facing a philosophical question:
Since there's no REAL guideline for this I wanted to collect a few opinions and see where this is going.
Whenever I'm part of an implementation project, there's a lot of discussion going on concerning the approach when it comes to the realization. The question is whether to take the original, i.e. SAP-standard-document-types and customize them according to my customer's requirement or FIRST copy them and THEN customize them.
Don't want to present my personal opinion, yet, but I would appreciate you to post a few words on this!
Thx & regards,
Bobby

True, true,
but why not customize the SAP-tested stuff according your customer's requirements?
The original SAP-setup may be copied from the golden client at any point in time, which is why I don't understand, why people tend to go the extra-step and copy it first (it always gives me the impression, that MORE than just customizing has been done to that type... especially, when it's poorly documented, which happens way too often!).
Any other opinions on that?
Regards,
Bobby

Excise document number in standard document flow

Dear Friends,
Is it possible to capture the excise invoice no. in the standard document flow so that at any point of time , either from the sales order or the delivery document or the billing document, the excise invoice can be seen in the flow?
Although the excise document flow can be seen in either J1IIN or J2IF, my customer wants to have the same in standard flow. Please suggest whether any ABAP development needs to be done for the same or it can be achieved through functional customization only.
Regards
Raja

Hi Raja
This functionality is not available in standard SAP as far as I know.
Also there is no append available for VBFA table.
U can check with SAP OSS if they can guide on it.

Question about what the content should be for a database standards document

Hi Experts,
I am working as development DBA in a J2EE project and have a task to create a database standards document. The document should be used as a reference by the developers when they submit requests for database changes - like adding or making changes to the database schemas (adding tables/modifying them etc.). I thought of what would be the right content for this type of standards document and I think that such a document should have the following as database standards:
1) Naming standards for the database objects.
This will include all database objects like tables, columns, primary keys, foreign keys, views, triggers, procedures etc.. For example a standard can be defined like: all primary keys should be named as PK_TABLENAME. All indexes should be named as <TABLE_NAME>_IDX01 etc.
2) Use of Oracle reserved words should be avoided in the schema object names.
3) The names should be descriptive so as to make their purpose self evident.
4) Wherever possible, tables should have primary keys.
5) Wherever possible columns should be defined NOT NULL -as it helps performance (Indexes on NULLABLE columns are not used by the optimizer).
6) When submitting request for a new table/tables, typical queries against these new tables should also be worked out and based on that indexes that will be needed for the new tables should be defined. In case this is not clear at the time of initial table creation, it should be clarified within 3 weeks (just a reasonable period to be mentioned here).
Is this fair enough content forthe standards document or does it miss some important aspects? Note that we do not have to cover in this document standards for database creation or RAC installation etc. It is a document of standards to be followed by developers as a reference when submitting database changes. I will be thankful for your review.
(Oracle version info: We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10.)
Thanks,
OraserN

That isn't true - post a link that supports that statement.
Heap indexes do not INDEX null values but indexes on NULLABLE columns are most certainly used by the optimizer for use cases where your query is looking for non-null values.
Columns should be defined NOT NULL when your business requirement is that the column should ALWAYS have a value. You can, of course, adopt some standard default value (e.g. 'U' for unknown) and make an otherwise NULLABLE column NOT NULL so that each row WILL be indexed. That may only be useful if you want to be able to search for rows that have that value and those rows are in the minority.Then I must be wrong....I will modify the standard as:
5) Whenever the business requirement is such that the column will allways end up having a value , then all such columns should be defined as NOT NULL. Also if a column can be defined to have a default value then this default value should also be specified.
Hope this is more proper then earlier and thanks a lot for the review!!

How to use a non-standard true type font that won't be changed by the native environment on others' computers when they open the document?

We are using a non-standard true type font (Zurich Ex BT) when creating a .pdf document but when others view it, the font is changed on their computers. How do we use this font and keep it from being changed when others look at it?

This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.

Different movement types in MM documents in SSR

Hello,
How can I use different movement types in logistic documents for meter readings?
I set up additional meter event for own consumption and I need to get logistic document with other movement type (as standard we running creating logistic document types an 251/252 movement types for fuel sales).
To realize at least those two types of sales wehave only two possibilities in the system:
1. Setup separate processing profile for location for purpose of own consumption.
The stop over point is only one processing profile can be assigned to the location at once.
2. Setup a new process with new movement type.
The stop over point - restriction in the customizing - only one main process can be used for posting based on meter readings (error message OQ_C601 "More than one entry selected as main MM process for location indicator 01").
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks and KR,

Can I create a list which counts the number of documents of a specific metadata type by the folder they are stored within?

Running SP2013 Foundation. My users interact by uploading documents to personal folders within a document library, selecting the type of document they have uploaded via a lookup column and SP list. I have two levels of view in my library, a top level view
and an in-folder view which contains the metadata and standard document information like version and modified date etc.
Currently I am able to count the total number of documents that have been uploaded of a particular document type against my document type list, but I would also like to include folder along with document type to thoroughly track document returns by folder
name. The desired output being a list with a count of document type uploaded by folder name.
I have tried creating an associated user column at the top level view and also uploading an associated user and folder name list.
Is this possible and how would I go about this?
Many thanks for any assistance

Billing Type for Sales Document

Hi,
I am trying to create Sales Order from WEB UI(CRM 7.0). I need to enter billing type this sales document. But, I am not able to find this Field neither in CRM WEB UI nor VA02.
Can you please tell me, how can I enter billing type for Sales document or change Billing type for sales document.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
sounds like you refer to the ERP Sales Order in the CRM WebClient UI? Not sure whether the billing type is available in the standard, but are you aware of the enhancements concepts of the LORD (see SAP note 1224179)? In addition, you should use the AET as outlined in the FAQ note 1446253.

Default document currency as per document type for sales order

Dear All,
We are facing problem in Default document currency as per document type for sales order,
Our requirement is not to give currency in customer master & set it as default document currency as per document type,
for example: Document type 'OR' default currency 'INR',
                     Document type 'ZEU' default currency 'EUR',
                     Document type 'ZUS' default currency 'USD',
                     Document type 'ZNP' default currency 'NRP,'
                     Document type 'ZAF' default currency 'RAND,'
Is it any how possible in standard setting ?,
Regards,
Sai

Hi,
The system proposes the sales document currency from the customer master record of the sold-to party. You can change the currency manually in the document or change in currency in customer master. If you change the currency, the system recalculates prices for the entire document.
to determine different currrency in sales docuement you need to write an user exit and then overwrite the docuement currency copied from customer master. Try user exit 'USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK' under include MV45AFZZ for this change.
with regards
vivek.

Output Determination Procedure
Output is a form of media from business to one of its business partners. The output can be sent to any of the partners defined in the document. Outputs are usually in the form of Order Confirmations, Freight List, Delivery Notes, Invoices & Shipping Notifications. Determining form of output is output determination
Types of Output: Print Output, Fax, Telex, E-Mail & EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
PRINT OUTPUT:
SPRO- IMG- Basic Functions- Output Control- Output Determination- Output Det using Cond Tech- Output Det for Sales Documents & output determination for billing documents.
Create Condition Table: select the field Sales Doc Type from field catalog & Save
Maintain Access Sequence: 4-digits code & description. Assign condition table to access sequence. Select Accesses line item and Goto Fields. Fields will display the fields we have selected in the condition table i.e. sales doc type.
Select BA00 & Copy & Rename. Give the same 4-digit code as given to acc seq.
You Can Maintain:
Languages of Output
Partners (to whom we want to send output)
Print Program- print specification
Sap Script- layout
Assign Output Types to Partner Functions: go to new entries & assign your output type to partner functions.
Maintain Output Determination Procedure: V10000 (Standard Procedure). Go to new entries & create your own 6-digit code with descp. Select the procedure & go to Control Data. Here mention the output type i.e. cond type & leave requirement and manual only columns as blank.
Determination Rule: link the 6-digit procedure code to doc types.
Create Condition Records: VV11. Select document type and click on Communication. Mention partner function, medium, time. Output device: LP01, Spool request Name: SD_003, Suffix 2: order_confir & flag on print immediately.
Once you press enter you will come across 2 key combinations:
Sales organization/ Customer Number: fill SO, Customer No, Partner Function Abbreviation, Partner to whom the output should be sent, time, medium, language. {It contains: Sales Orgn, Customer, Partner Function (The abbreviated form of the name that identifies the Partner) (During output determination, the system determines the recipient of the output from the master record for the specified partner function. In this field, you can explicitly specify a recipient that will override the standard partner. There must also be a master record for the partner that is specified explicitly.), Medium, Time & Language.}
Order Type: Document Type, Partner Function (abbreviation), Partner, Medium, Time & Language.
In SAP we can send the documents to respective partner functions through different transmission mediums. SAP uses condition technique to determine output t relevant partners with relevant transmission mediums.
Out put determination procedure has a integration with technical module, as ABAPers has to write SMART forms and FORMS to print the output , that SMART form output can be send to relevant partner function through relevant transmission mediums.
Out put determination procedure for order confirmation: (V/57)
a) Maintain condition table:
Path:

Maintain data in general data tab
General data tab:
Access sequence: 0010(order type)
In IMG define access sequence and assign to the output type
Check access to conditions:
     This indicator allows the system to read the condition records for output. If it is not been activated then system determines out put from customer master ex: By following out put determination procedure DB0001
Check cannot be changed:
     This control specifies whether the out put can be changed or not
Ex: direct mailings can be changed during processing
Check multiple issuing:
This indicator allows the system to send the output multiply
Ex: sales order has been sent for 10 items again one item has been added to sales order so that business has to issue the new out put for sold to party with added line items. This indicator allows the system to send out put repeatedly.
Check partner independent out put:
During output processing when the indicator has not set then system allows only specific functions in specific partner functions
Dont write processing:
This indicator determines whether system has to write processing log for output
Default values tab:
Dispatch time:
Ex: send immediately: when carry the application this indicator determines when the output should be sent.
Transmission medium:
Ex:     print out

How to add a button in top ribbons of ALL library types (Not just document libraries)?

Hi there,
How to add this custom button on all Library Types (Not just document libraries)?
RegistrationId="101" RegistrationType="List" adds this button to Document Libraries only - which does not work for me.
Thanks so much.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a custom button on the ribbon of all the library.
You can refer to the following code snippet, it would add a custom button “Site Settings” on the ribbon of all the libraries.

Issue with New Document in a document library with multiple content types

Hi,
I have a created a custom list definition based on a document library. I added 3 content types in this list, one is a document set (lets call it DOCSET), the two others are content types inheriting from Document (DOCA and DOCB).
I deployed the list definition with a site scoped feature and the list instance with a web scoped feature. After activating the two features, the list is created and the content types are present in the list.
When I click in the New Document button and choose either the DOCA or DOCB content type, a Word document opens and the DOCA content type is always associated to this Word document.
With SharePoint Manager 2013 I saw that the template.dotx document was not in the Forms/DOCA or Forms/DOCB folder.
So I decided to remove all the content types from the list definition and add them by code with the ListAdded event receiver. I used list.ContentTypes.Add to add the content types to the list.
With this method the templates are correctly copied from the template.dotx in the RootFolder/Forms folder of my list. These templates have the rights content type id, but the New Document button still does not work properly.
So I looked at the Content Types inside my library and saw that the DocumentTemplateUrl linked to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx and not the RootFolder/Forms/DOCA/template.dotx or RootFolder/Forms/DOCB/template.dotx.
I debugged my code to look closer and see that right after the list.ContentTypes.Add, the DocumentTemplateUrl is correclty set but when my EventReceiver finishes, the DocumentTemplateUrl get back to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx.
Have you any idea why this is not working ?
Regards

Hi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue about the DOCA and DOCB content types which inherits from Document Content Type in your custom list definition.
By default, if there is a custom content type inherits the OOTB Document Content Type, it will also inherits the template.dotx file from the OOTB Document Content Type.
The template URL of a custom content type which inherits the OOTB Document Content Type:
If you want to specify different templates for different content types, the code demo below would be helpful:
