Hi All,

I understand that the Requirement from ECC (as PR) can be sourced in SRM through Shopping Cart created via Plan Driven .

This will be driven by tables T160 EX and PR.

Now in the Practical Scenario, when once the PR is created and Sent to SRM for SHopping cart based on the above Tables entries and Sourcing was done in SRM to create further PO/Contract.

So once my Source of Supply is determined, do every time the PR created form ECC will go to SRM even if the Source of Supply is there.

How to realize this Practical case.

I dont want the PR to go to SRM for Shopping Cart creation instead only when I need Sourcing(when Source of Supply was not there)

Expecting a Help in this regard.

Regards

Hi,

I want to transport Bex query which I modified but I don't want to transport any variable associated with the query. When I click on "Query Element" check box, it selects all the objects underneath it including variables and I don't want to manually uncheck any box as there are chances I may or may not select any object that i don't want to transport.

I know if I check the query name check box (highlighted in red in below screenshot) then I can only select the objects I need to transport but the check box highlighted in red is grayed out

How can i select the check box in front of my query (highlighted in red) why is it grayed out, will appreciate your help, thanks.Regards

Jagpreet.

We had to do performance optimization of one report.

So for that we had created an index for field INFNR in table PLPO.

Then we move the changes in report and index to Quality system,

which was successfully done and the changes were there in quality.

The changes were not moved to production due to upgrade activities.

After upgrade, Basis team tried to move the changes in Quality but

there was one TR which was conflicting the movement.

The TR was related to upgrade activities and the index was there in the

TR.

SO, they deleted the index from that upgrade TR.

Now we are trying to create the index in new TR and trying to move it

to

quality.

But its ending with errors.

Please help

Hi

I am interested in downloading xECM to see what it is liked. Any idea where and how?

Dear All,

I have developed a scenario which is Database to IDOC using multi-mapping. Each row from the database will generate an IDOC. Each Select statement may contain thousands of rows. I am unable to count the number of IDOCs created per transaction. It is also not possible to count the number of rows selected as there are several thousand segments formed from one select statement.

Is there any other way I can know from monitoring screens i.e. sxi_monitor etc.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Experts,

My purpose is to update customer prices from Excel to SAP automatically with a script. My problem is: I dont know how to call a certain Excel-file?

If I record a script that opens transaction VK11 and put the right constants in right places places, how shall I call it to open an excel-file and then pick information from cells A1(customer number) B1(product number) C1(price) and then save it and then continue picking rows from excel until blank comes ahead?

Could someone please give me a example of this code?

Thanks in advance!

3.2.5 Preprocessing Logs

3.2.5.1       General information

Providing your users with information on the progress and/or the results of data archiving programs is mandatory since this enables them to trace back or prevent problems that may occur during archiving.

3.2.5.2       Selection screen

Use standard include ‘ARCH_PREPROC_PRG_STANDARD2’ in the program to enable the selection screen parameters P_PROT and P_PROT_O for preprocessing log.

3.2.5.3       Initialize Object Log

Initialize the object log using the function module ARCHIVE_PROTOCOL_INIT, according to the user input given in parameters P_PROT and P_PROT_O.

3.2.5.4 Build Object Log

Call function module ARCHIVE_PROTOCOL_COLLECT once for each ARO object to build the preprocessing logs.

3.2.5.5       Output Standard Log

          1. Provide the 2 processing choices: production and test mode.

          2.  Enable the detail log.

          3. ILM parameters.

3.3.4 Further notes about write program

3.3.4.1 Function ‘ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_WRITE‘

Function ‘ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_WRITE’ should be called with following import parameters:

3.4 Delete Program

3.4.1 Flow Chart

3.4.2 General Information

Authorization check should be taken in consideration to prevent un-authorized user from operation.

3.4.3 Selection Screen

Delete Program Name: /LOGWIN/EXT_LOG_ARCHIVE_DELETE

Selection Screen Title:  Delete Program: Archiving Program for UI Logging

Include standard archiving selection options and parameters by adding include ‘ARCH_DELETE_PRG_STANDARD2’.

3.4.4 Authorization check

Authorization object: /LOGWIN/CR

Authorization fields: SRV_NAME = (Program, transaction or function module name for current External log)

      Activity = ‘24’ (Archive)

If the authorization does not pass, you have no authorization to delete the archive data.

3.4.5 Check ARO current DB archiving status

Check External Log status against current database /logwin/ext_log. If the GUID does not exist or the archiving status is not ‘30’ (archived), then ignore this External Log and go on to process the next one.

GUID-not-exist may happen when first delete run is not successful and current run is a re-run session. In this situation, some records may have already been deleted.

External Log status may be changed in the interval of write program and delete program execution. Thus, External Log status check is necessary.

3.4.6 Delete Methods

Detail information about calling deletion methods:

Method:                          /LOGWIN/CL_EXT_LOG_ACCESS=>DELETE_RECORD

Description:                  Delete a single record from the external rep.

Delete commit counter should be retrieved by accessing the External Log archiving object configuration. In delete program, database commit work will be executed according to this commit counter.

3.5 Read Program

Processing program name:       /LOGWIN/EXT_LOG_ARCHIVE_READ

Selection screen title:    Read UI Logging Archiving

3.5.1 Archive File Filter

Creation date means the date when archived file was generated.

Archive file could be viewed in Archive File Browser (Transaction AS_AFB).

3.5.2 Archived External Log Filter

This part of the selection screen is identical with show external log program (/LOGWIN/SHOW_EXT_LOG_2), user could filter the external log records in archived file to be displayed.

3.5.3 Display of Archive Data Result

Result should be identical with show external log program(/LOGWIN/SHOW_EXT_LOG_2).

3.5.4 Processing Logic

Following is an external log archived file in Archive File Browser. All the external log file will be archived in object /LOGWIN/ET.

3.5.5 Read Archive file

Program will read all archived files which belongs to object ‘/LOGWIN/ET’ and archived file creation date should fulfill selection screen.

Then, will read each data record in each data object, convert data record into an internal table which has the following type: (structure could be extended for each technology)

3.5.6 Data conversion

/LOGWIN/CL_EXT_LOG_ACCESS~CONVERT_ARCHIVE_TO_DISPLAY will convert archived data.

For each record in /LOGWIN/EXT_LOG_ARCH_RECORD_T Convert /LOGWIN/EXT_LOG_ARCH_RECORD_S to:

After data is converted, there is an authority object /LOGWINDC/ to check if data is to be decrypted, method ARCHIVE_DISPLAY_DECRYPT will be used to decrypt the data.

After all, the converted data will be filtered by the External Log Filter in the selection screen.

Extra customer BAdI /LOGWIN/EXT_LOG_BADI called at the very last of method CONVERT_ARCHIVE_TO_DISPLAY,  customer could do their own conversion in method CONVERT_ARCHIVE_TO_DISPLAY.

3.5.7 Data Display

After conversion, data will be passed to a general show external log data interface.

3.6      Reload Program

3.6.1 Flow Chart

Selection Screen Title:  Reload Program: Reload Program for UI Logging

Include standard archiving selection options and parameters by adding include ‘arch_reload_prg_standard2’.

3.6.4 Authorization check

Authorization object: /LOGWIN/CR

Authorization fields: SRV_NAME = (Program, transaction or function module name for current EXTERNAL LOG)

      Activity = ‘24’ (Archive)

3.6.5 Check EXTERNAL LOG current DB archiving status

Check EXTERNAL LOG status against current database /logwin/ext_log. If the corresponding external log is still existing.  it will take no action and give a hint message.

3.6.6 Reload Methods

Detail information about calling deletion methods:

Method:                          /LOGWIN/CL_EXT_LOG_ACCESS=>RELOAD_DATA_FROM_ARCHIVE

Description:                  Write data back to the database from the archive

3.7 Accessing archived data

Following are the approaches to access the archived external log.

1. Standard ADK functions

Archiving file browser (T-code AS_AFB) is available to browse contents of all archived files. From the left tree of transaction main screen, archived file can be selected.

Note: Current solution does not include the read program. Therefore, it is not possible to read the archived file from transaction SARA.

Hello, I have a query regarding Bex.

I have a dso which has customer data in it with multiple dates like this:

Customer      ZDTE            Quantity
101                01/01/2014        10
101                02/01/2014        25
101                02/28/2014        45
102                01/01/2013        19
102                02/02/2014        20

My requirement is to get the latest date with aggregated quantity: like this

Customer      ZDTE            Quantity
101                 02/28/2014       80
102                 02/02/2014       39

Do you know how to do this at Bex level?

Thanks.

Hello Experts,

Before posting this thread, i have gone through several threads about my query.  Still I have a doubt.

Material Cost always should be Variable.  Cost Component Structure OKTZ also the Inventory Valuation would be Variable Cost as per as Std SAP.

But where as the Raw Material Price control would be "S" & the Cost Component Structure of OKTZ having Inventory Valuation Fixed + Variable Cost then what would be the effect..?

I have run a SCE for a Material & both Material having standard price 140.6 & 1.09. Then how come the Fixed Value shows here as 10.37 & 0.9 & How can it be divided into Total & Fixed Value..?

Regards

Raj

Hi experts ,

could you help me to get solution for my client ,

by review the semi finished consumption account we found a lot of amount carried out to Dummy profit center not on our Brands profit center .

the journal carried out balance sheet account [ Inventory ] to Profit Center and on the same time carried out the consumption for the same material

to Dummy profit center .

could you help me the solve this issue and carry out the consumption to correct profit center .

Thanks in advance for quick response

1)when we  will update tax updates in US-Payroll? half yearly or yearly?

2)what are country legal pathces? when u will update this in SAP?

Hi,

We have many queries in SAP that have not been used for long time. I would like to delete them based on when it was ran last time by whom in ECC system. SQ01 is one option to find but is there a better way to do this type of clean up.

Appreciate for your support..

Folks ,

I've an object called ' Serial number' (12 digits long) but when I set this in query filter as a prompt number format gets changed.

Similar like this:  

whereas I am expecting to see 123456789123 something like this.

I made sure that object data type is number while designing universe as well as also format the object ( using format object option) and set as ############. ( 12times #) to forced as 12 digits number.

When I drag this object in 'result objects' results shows fine but if i add this as 'Query Filters' number gets changed as above pic.

Any advise ?

Cheers,

Dear experts

I have a problem as below

When I create Action = Termination -->   Record in IT0000 and IT0001 have created with position = 9999999

Afterward, I create Action = Re-hire --> Just only record in IT0000 have created   (Not for It0001 )

when I save It0000 , the next screen It0001 display old information of the previous action (termination) with Position = 999999 and I cannot maintain.
