Hello,

I have been seeing a strange error with my lockbox files lately. I loaded a BAI2 file in FLB2 with the following processing parameters:

Input record format: BAI2   

Invoice number: 3 (Doc number first, if not found then reference #)

Enhanced Invoice check: Selected

Algorithm  checks with advice: 001

Algorithm check without advice: 001

I have checked the file format record by record and no issues with the file. When I load it in FLB2, I get an error message says: "Accounts Receivables error: F5 664 No Payment Advices were found", however the payment advice is right next to the error message itself. When I check in FBE3, I can even pull up the payment advice if I do an open search. However, if I enter the payment advice name in the search parameter screen, I says Payment advice not found- although I can see it when I do a drop down on that field.

Due to this, the file is posted on account although all invoices exist and payment amount match. The weird thing is that we cannot replicate this error all the time in QA. System throws this error in an erratic pattern, sometimes it works- with the same customer, same program, same process and sometimes it fails and just gives that payment advice not found error. I haven't been able to find any notes and have already contacted SAP for help. Only issue is that the BAI2 file is generated via a Z program although it calls the standard FLB2 program to load the file- SAP can still refuse to help since this is a slightly customized process.

Does anyone have any clue as to why this could be happening? I believe that the error we see is incorrect due to which we don't know waht is causing the file to fail. Since we are nearing year end, this is a high priority. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks

Hi All

I would like to find out if SAP has a official textbook for this specific exam and I would also like to know if there are any practice exams available which will be able to give me a feel of how the exam is laid out.

I have completed watching all the videos in the education section and also completed the self test questions however I would really like a book that contains all the information that I will need to study for this certification. 

Please if anybody can help me on this it will be greatly appreciated.

Recently, I was exploring some of the options in Rules Based Availability Check ( RBA ) and found that SAP has introduced the option of merging the sub items to ease the handling of transactional documents in ECC. However, it has some pre-requisites that has to be met.

As part of the implementation I was running through, I always had the following questions in Product Substitution (in fact many users did come to me with the same question ) for which I didn't have any answer.

If there is a Product Substitution between two products P1->P2; and if the Product 1 is fully available to the extent of ordered quantity ? Why would system create a sub item with the same ordered product ? 

Initially when I approached SAP with this question, they reverted to me saying that the "Rules Immediately" option in the check instructions is responsible for such a behavior, however from business perspective it doesn't make any sense to create a sub item when the same product is fully being fulfilled with enough stock being available.

With the recent upgrade to SCM 7.0 EHP2; I found something in check instructions that made me to setup some test data and see how it behaves and it did answer me the questions I initially had ( mentioned above )

I have created a sub item between two products P1->P2 with rule control as "Start from top of list" approach. There is some stock of 900 PCs available for P1 in the location L1 (1000 ) and there was no stock for Product P2 in the same location (1000) .

I have selected the check boxes "Activate RBA", "Start Immediately" in check instructions and I have created the sales document for 2000 Pcs with Product P1 as shown below

I have seen that the sub item has been created though P2 doesn't have any stock. This particular case is something similar to normal ATP check wherein P1 is being ATP checked to look out for confirmation. Following screenshots shows the ATP picture and sales order situation.

Note :- The behavior is same ( sub item is created ) when the sales order quantity is less than or equal to the stock available for Product P1.

Now, I have selected the "Merge Sub items" option in the Check instructions and executed the ATP check. There has not been any change in the delivery proposal however, the sub items have been merged together and only main item is available in the sales order with the confirmation 900. Also, you can see the confirmation picture of schedule line at main item level as shown below.

Now, I have created a stock of 500 PCs for Product P2 and re-executed the availability check ( by keeping "Merge Sub-items option ticked ) and following is the delivery proposal screen for the same ordered quantity 2000 PCs.

After accepting the proposal, I see the sales order situation as shown below.

Hence, it looks like whenever the partial confirmation picture is identified, the pegging areas are being shared for a single sales document and hence as per the SAP documentation, the merging of sub item is not possible. In short, whenever the substitution takes place between two same products, sub items can be merged to ease the transactional document in OLTP for further steps.

But, there is one thing that we need to keep in mind in terms of location substitution. If there is one single product that is being substituted between two locations and if the quantity is completely being fulfilled with only one single product though two locations are being substituted, in this case merging the sub items is still possible because there can be a Stock transport requisition that could be created between the two locations. This can be configured in location substitution procedure using an activity to tranship the product between two locations.

Hope the above information helps.

Hi Experts,

I would like to write SAP C_TB1200_88 exam for SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP Business One 8.8, I wanted to attend classes for TB1000 (Logistics) and TB1100 (Accounting) before writing the exams but the 5 days course is more than $1,777. I also realized that the course was not complete without TB1200 (Implementation & Support) which requires one to have covered both TB1000 and TB1100. Mark you the cost for TB1200 is separate and it is around $900

Where can I get SAP course materials so that I can read practice on my own and sit for the exam. I find the course too expensive and a rip off, please help.

Patrick.

Hi all,

Problem : - Auto valuation is not happening for smaller scope MICs during result recording.

If the "inspected qty" is less than "inspect qty" in result recording auto valution is not happening. I use smaller scope in control indicator of the MIC. in sampling procedure I used fixed sample type and valuation based on attribute inspection according to non confirming units.

what could be the reason?.

Hi,

For any reason, we need to delete material from material master record.

For the main reason, when we create a wrong material or we had created a material but its not usable for procurement.

If we set deletion flag for material, we are not able to use this material but its still saved in database.

Here we can delete the material from database.

Lets discuss about this.

Here we can see there are 3 material exists in database.

Set deletion flag from MM06 for these 3 materials one by one.

Then go to MM71.

Give a variant name as you wish, then click "Maintain"

You will see a dialog box as below:

Just select the "For All Selection Screens" ans press continue.

You can see the previous screen.

Press "Maintain" again. You can see the below screen:

Just give your material as per arrow, Tick the option which is shown in above figure.

Then press back.

You will get a message box. Save value? press option "Yes"

You can see the Variant Attributes screen.

Just fill the "Meaning" as a description. and then press save buttons.

You can see a success message "Variant ZMAT_DELETE saved"

Press back again.

Now you are on "Archive Administrator" main screen.

Now press the "Start Date" and select "Immediate" and press Save.

Then press "Spool Params."  give an output device then press continue.

You can see the both status will be green colour.

Now press execute.

You can see a success message "New archiving job was scheduled"

Now go to transaction SARA.

Select Archive Object "MM_MATNR"

Then press actions "Delete"

You can see the above screen.

Just press on "Archive Selection"

You can see the latest archive job which you have just created on MM71.

Just tick on this box, then press continue.

Set the "Start Date" and "Spool Parameters" as per mentioned above.

Here also you can see the green colour for these 3 selection.

Now just press execute buttons.

You can see a success message " New deletion jobs were scheduled"

Now go to MARA table or t-code MM60.

Put the material code.

You can't see the material in database. The below message will be shown.

That means you have deleted the material from material master record successfully.

Hope its doesn't take several times to do.

It can save our disk space for master record.

Thanks

Hello Friends,

Hope you are doing well.

In my organization, I have Configured the roll and profile for our new user.

I want to share with you about the settings and details. One document is really help me to learn this factor. One of our friend Sudeep wrote a excellent document MM Related Authorization Objects - How to Find out & Assig,  Its really help me a lot.

There is also very deeply explain about authorization in this document.

Lets discuss about roll and profile..

What is a Roll?

A roll is assigned to an user, its used to choose a T-code/Menu and its create authorization profile...

Suppose Roll A has authorization for t-code MM01, and the roll is assigned to use ABC, It means the user is able to use the t-code MM01.

What is a Profile?

A profile is the element in the authorization system. Its allow an user to access the system.

For authorization check, The system checks on the particular profile which is assigned to user for the proper authorization.

Create Roll

T-code = PFCG

This is initial screen of Role maintenance..

If you have a old roll and you want to copy as a new roll, then you can choose the option copy as...

Enter the old roll in Role field then press copy as...

Give the new name in to Role and press "Copy all", your new roll will be copied. Then you can change the role as you wish.

If you want to create a new one then just enter the name in Roll and then press "Single Roll"

The initial creation for the particular role will come.

We have to maintain The Menu, Authorization and User (If you want to maintain workflow, then you can maintain).

Click on the Menu tab.

In this tab we will enter the t-codes which we want to give authorization to an user.

There are many option to insert t-code

Its used to enter a single t-code. Suppose you want to give the authorization for MM01 only, then you have to click on transaction, and give the t-code MM01.

Its used to enter a whole menu area. Suppose you want to give the authorization for all Inventory management's T-codes , then click From SAP Menu and Select the Inventory Management option.

Lets give the authorization of all inventory management option, It means the use can do these all things which is in under inventory management tab in main menu.

As we can see the Menu tab's colour is Green. It means we have successfully assign the t-codes to this particular user.

Save your settings.

Now Go to Authorization tab.

Here you have use a profile name for this roll.

You can use the profile name as you wish or you can select Propose profile name to click the option

If you click the option, then system will propose you a 10 digit profile name and profile text (You can change the profile text) , you can continue with system proposed profile name or you can give as yours.

I use System proposed profile name, I have click on the option.

System propose me a profile name.

Save you data.

It will take all standard fields, which will need for the inventory management.

Then you gave generate the profile. Select the last option "Expert Mode for Profile Generation"

You have to give the authorization for required data for inventory management.

Suppose you give company code X in this field, Then the user will only can do a entry for company code X. It is for the all field which is shown in above figure.

After compete the all field, press save/enter.

We can there are no red colour on any field.

Now press in the screen.

You can see a message, press generate. You can see a success message

Now press back and go back to the initial screen. You can see the Authorization tabs also will green coloue. That means this tab is successfully completed.

Now press the User tab

Here just give the user id in the field "user ID", to whom you want to give the authorization.

You can restrict the roll and profile with validity period.

In default it come current date to 31.12.9999.

Now after giving the user name, press and then in the next screen, press

Save your data, You can see a success message

It means the profile and roll is successfully assigned to this particular user.

Now we can see the User option is also in green colour mode. It means we have successfully done this tab.

Now just save you data and press back.

Now we can see in User master record from SU01, the new roll and profile is assigned to the user.

Now Log in with new user.

When the user trying to enter t-code under inventory management, the user can do the all. But whenever he will try to enter t-code under purchasing and all (without inventory management), he will get a message

If any authorization missing in inventory management, then we can also add the activity to the user. Its is clearly discuss on this document

MM Related Authorization Objects - How to Find out & Assig,

If we want to restrict the storage location and G/L account, then we have to assign the storage location and G/L in Role and we have to activate "Authorization Check for Storage Locations"

Go to OLMB-Authorization Management-Authorization Check for Storage Locations and Authorization Check for G/L Accounts.

Tick for the storage location which you want check the authorization for user.

Tick for the company code which you want to check for the authorization.

This way you can restrict authorization for an user.

Thanks

I recent open period for 2014, sub-period should be month but I put year.  How can I correct it?

Hi experts,

Following some tutorials I have modified the parameter sap.ui.table.maxVisibleRowCount to -1 to remove the limitation of the webdynpro when copying rows of a table.

It seems that there is a problem with this parameter and the netweaver 7.3 because after the change NWA has stopped working.

The problem is I can't modify the parameter again because all the webdynpro crash.

I have tried with the configtool and this property is not there.

In previous versions I would use the visual admin but is not available anymore.

Anyone has any idea of how to modify the parameter again?

Thanks!.

Hi

I call the HANA procedures/views from ABAP and I would like to send the locale language as parameter. But I couldn't achieve this unless i do a language select from each and every table and compare to the parameter.

Here's what I observed, In HANA, there's a text join and you choose the language under the language column. It always picks up the locale which is set in the logon screen. But there's no way to pass the language from ABAP.

Your help is appreciated.
