I already added the port (2099, 8005, 8009, 8080, 8443, 1433) needed to this application but there is no luck. in the red box we need to see the localhost/ip add or the127.0.0.1:8080 so we can access the tabs beside the box like the SLD to set-up the integration of Mobile and Outlook. I've upgraded also all the components to v9-PL9.

Dear Experts.

We have a scenario where we give to an employee a payment in advanced , and then the employee delivers several invoices to liquidate the advanced, until now we are posting a FB60 using the employee and that’s all.

But now the Tax authorities needs the detail of each vendor-invoice of this scenario, does someone has an idea of how to include several vendors in this scenario?

Thanks in advanced experts.

Since updating from Visual Studio 2008 to 2012 numeric fields that exceed the set width display as ####. I realize that this behavior was changed so that the 'Allow Field Clipping'  is defaulted to false and setting it to true will change the behavior back to what it was in VS2008. I have changed my default option to set this value to true but want to dynamically change any numeric field object to set this value to true for my existing reports (so I don't have to change each field individually on the report canvas). I would expect to be able to set it in the NumericFieldFormat or ObjectFormat but do not see anything obvious.  I can not find where this property lives. Can someone help me?

My group is looking at doing an upgrade in the near future.  We're going to be moving from BOE IX 3.1 SP5 to BI 4.1.   We are also looking at moving from Windows to Linux.  My questions are as follows:

What were you expereinces with upgrading?

How much involvement/support from SAP did the upgrade require?

Did you use any professional services?

Do you have any lessons learned to share?

Does anyone have any feedback about running BI on virtual Linux machines?

Thanks!

Dear experts,

I have a quite specific query. Is it possible to link for a desired vendor two different text meesages depending on the freight used?

For instance, in case I need to set a PO to be shipped via air freight, I would like automatically to have a text filed with a specific forwarder contact information, but if I set it as an Ocean freight, that text should change to a different contact.

I couldn't find it in previous threads so I placed a new question.

Best regards,

I have some very complex SQL that I am try to build into a report using a Command object.  I am trying to use Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.1 SP01 Patch 6 against a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 database.  I have my query working in SQL Server Management Studio, but I am getting error in CR4E.

I have written two simplified queries to troubleshoot this.  This one uses a table variable ("@Affinities")...

DECLARE @Affinities TABLE

(

    AffinityID SMALLINT,

    AffinityName VARCHAR(50),

    AffinityNum VARCHAR(3)

)

 

INSERT INTO @Affinities   

        ( AffinityID ,

          AffinityName ,

          AffinityNum

        )

 

(SELECT AffinityID, AffinityName, AffinityNum

FROM dbo.luAffinity)

 

SELECT *

FROM @Affinities

I get this error...

When I try using a local temporary table like this...

SELECT AffinityID, AffinityName, AffinityNum

INTO #Affinities

FROM dbo.luAffinity

 

SELECT * FROM #Affinities

 

DROP TABLE #Affinities

I get this error...

Both of these queries work in Crystal Reports 2013.  Is there a way to get this to work in CR4E?  I know that I can wrap my SQL in a stored procedure, but this would be easier.

Any ideas?

Hello

I have been attempting to add configuration to a HWC app that is being deployed using Afaria.

I want to fill the  HWC app settings in the general section of the ipad settings (to save the user time).

I have tried unsuccessfully a few different ways.

So to begin with all I want to do is add server name, server port, farmid, protocol and url suffix.

The application policy has a configuration tab, there are 2 sections to the configuration tab

Managed App Configuration

Afaria Library

What is the difference between the 2? I found some documentation but is does not explain it well.

Below is the last thing I tried, but I also tried populating the Managed App Configuration section and then I tried semi colon delimited etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello, experts!

I have a problem where I generated a transfer document MB1B/833 for 2 items and receive the material in your destination through MBSU/835, the system accepted only receive 1 material, getting pending the second code. To set the stock i did MB1B/305 movement of the missing item but do not know what could impact the fiscal part and/or accounting system.

Has anyone experienced this and know what might have happened?

Best regards.

Can anyone point me to a current and comprehensive list of all available SAP modules and sub-modules?  Currently, the best source I have found for this list is SAPNote 36677, which lists all the structure of components for customer incidents.  However, this SAPNote list is over 23K line items and includes information outside of the modules and sub-modules, in a format that is difficult to normalize.

Greetings, i need help, in transaction XD01 (screen "Datos Generales")

the tabControl name is ses[0]/wnd[0]/usrUSRAREA/subcntSUBTABSAPLATAB0100/tabstripTABSTRIP100, before click in button "Datos Sociedad"

and the tabControl name es ses[0]/wnd[0]/usrUSRAREA/subcntSUBTABSAPLATAB0100/tabstripTABSTRIP100 (same that previous control), i don't understand, different buttons...same tabControl?... now... when hide 3 tabitem in "Datos Sociedad"

now, the screen "Datos Sociedad", only tabItem "Gestión de Cuenta"

but, click in the button "Datos Generales"

and my tabItem "Datos de Control" disappeared, why? what is wrong?, i used /n/persos/admin_ui and insert the next.

is correct? create new tabControl, but how use in my button "Datos de Sociedad"?

Thank you.

Pessoal, Tudo Bem?

Estamos com um problema, ao alterar o campo Formato DANFE (campo TPIMP) através da visão J_1BB2V, não é salvo. Algum de vocês tiveram esse problema?

Estamos no EHP 6.04, sp 007.

We are implementing the form for mass new hire and the basic pay annual salary is not populating.  WE are using Back-End service SAP_PA and service Field 0008 / Infotype version 10 for the USA with screen structure HCMT_BSP_PA_US_R0008.  Then selecting I0008_ANSAL field with Data Element ANSAL_15.  Every time we save the form the salary is 0.00.

Anyone else see a similar problem?  We can get our Reason code, pay scale area, Pay scale group, etc. to populate but not the annual salary.

Thanks.

I would like to share some of my notes and experiences which I believe might help ones who are planning to implement SAP MRS. These notes were taken one year ago and I used MRS 8.0 but I believe they also hold for MRS 9.0.

This document and the following documents that I am planning to prepare will be limited to MRS usage with Logistics Work Centers and will not cover using MRS with business partners as well as with Notification Tasks, CRM Service Orders or C-Projects.

This document is neither a training document nor a “how to do?” document. What I am intended to deliver is to highlight some of the important points which might help consultants to improve their skills in this area. I will try preparing more detailed documents for most of the bullet points here in the near future.

Here are my list of comments, recommendations and ideas: 

Start reading - Try to understand what are the capabilities of SAP MRS. You may start from here:

http://help.sap.com/mrs

There are lots of useful documents here including the installation guides and configuration documents. (You may need SAP Marketplaceuser id to download them).

Training - Consider getting a standard MRS training. Check the following link:

https://training.sap.com/shop/course/plm360-multi-resource-scheduling-mrs-90-classroom-098-g-en/

Understand the terminology – SAP MRS uses a different terminology than the usual terminology that we use in PM or PS streams. Here are some of the concepts:

• Demand – A demand is a transactional object that represents a requirement for resources. For example, in PM, demands can be Order Operations or Notification Tasks. In PS, Network Activities are demands.
• Resource – A resource represents a machine or human capacity that can be assigned to a demand in order to fulfil the capacity requirements.
• Assignment – This is the relationship between a demand and a resource which simply represents which resource is scheduled and assigned to complete the task represented in a demand.MRS considers several parameters while deciding on the assignment such as skills required to complete a task, availability of the resources, geographical location of resources etc.

System Landscape – Speak with your BASIS and HR teams to understand what will be needed to implement MRS. Check with HR team to understand where the HR Data will be located at. Some companies, due to security concerns want their HR system to be separate from other ERP Modules as well as MRS.

If a non-SAP HR system is used, while planning and estimating the effort, consider interfacing and conversion efforts between MRS and non-SAP HR system. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, this can become a major technical effort.

Another point is, SAP MRS has the capability to support multiple-demand generating systems.

Determine your scheduling requirements and prioritize them – Start evaluating your scheduling requirements by listing the functionality that you may want to get from MRS. Here are some of the scope questions that you may want to ask yourself or to business:

• Do you really need a qualifications/skills comparison during the assignments?
• Do you need to run optimizations?
• What are the demand types that you would like to schedule? (i.e. PM Order Types, PM Orders with certain maintenance activity types, PS Network Activities with certain control keys…)
• Determine exceptions also if you will not have any schedulers for certain plants, you may want to exclude them from SAP MRS processes.
• Do you need to link MRS with mobile equipment?
• Do you need MRS to integrate with material availability checks?
• Do you want to schedule PRTs also?
• Do you want to integrate MRS with GIS?
• Do you need color codes in the planning board to represent different statuses for the demands/assignments?
• Which type of assignments will you be using? (Stretched/Capacitive/Concrete)
• What are you reporting requirements?
• Do you need any custom enhancements relevant to MRS scheduling?
• Do you want to consider the travel times during the scheduling process?
• Do you want to integrate time confirmations with MRS?

After this initial determination of your requirements prioritize them and based on this prioritization, communicate with Project Management and business about the implementation strategies. (i.e. Do you want a big-bang approach or do you want to implement the core functionality first and then add the other advanced functionality during the upcoming releases of implementation?, Which locations will start using MRS and will there be additional deployments of the initial solution? etc.)

Once the requirements and solution options are set, you may think about the master (like work centers, HR data for individuals, positions, qualifications, requirements profiles, task lists) and transactional data (for example existing demands, availability/leave data for individuals etc.) conversion process.

Change Management – Does business have or will you have dedicated resources (planners or schedulers) for running MRS? If not, check with the organizational change management teams to make sure that you will have users who will be trained to use MRS and who will be responsible for scheduling.

Don’t underestimate effort required to implement MRS – MRS has several very useful functionality. If you take a quick look at MRS configuration steps, you will realize that there are more steps than configuration of several of the SAP Modules. MRS can be linked to several SAP Modules (PM, PS, PPM, CRM, HCM etc.) which means you will need help from consultants of those modules too.

But if you want a quick initial implementation of MRS, you may want to consider RDS Solution:

http://www.sap.com/solution/rapid-deployment/software/multi-resource-scheduling-planning/index.html

Differences between different demands - Keep in mind that there are serious differences between implementing MRS for PM, PS, CRM or PPM. For example, MRS for PM works with standard PM operation fields. On the other hand, MRS for PS networks requires new custom enhancement tab and several custom fields

On top of this RDS solution, you may enrich the functionality afterwards.

Work centers - One of the key objects of scheduling are Work Centers by which you record your resources. You need to determine how do you want to represent the individual capacities in your work centers. MRS has huge flexibility to calculate the availability of individuals. But what I suggest is to focus on one of the following two possible HR-Logistics integration methods:

• Create one HR Work Center for Each Logistics Work Center– In this option, there will be a 1:1 relationship between logistics work centers and HR Work Centers. What I recommend is assigning positions to the HR Work Centers and finally assigning individuals to the positions.
• Create one HR Org Unit for each Logistics Work Center – This option is only feasible if your HR Organizational Structure is compatible with your work center organization. For example, if the HR Organizational Units reflect the maintenance work teams, then this option can be used.

Other options are still available (like the classical assignment of individual capacities to the logistics work center capacities etc.) as MRS gives you a flexibility to control different types of organizational structuring with the help of evaluation paths. One major option is using Business Partners instead of logistics work centers for scheduling and assignments which is not covered in this document.

HR Evaluation Paths– MRS heavily uses evaluation paths while determining several data elements like responsible resource planners, individuals assigned to each work center, the availability of individuals for a specific work center etc.

Check the standard MRS evaluation paths with your HR Consultants and try to understand the usage of them in MRS. Wrong usage of evaluation paths will end up with miscalculation of available resources. Check the MRS Configuration Step “Define Resource Planning Nodes and Evaluation Paths” to understand different usage of evaluation paths.

HR Data requirements – HR Personnel Data Records must be updated with the infotypes that keep the availability, absence, skills, organizational assignments of individuals. Discuss which data you will need to use in MRS with HR consultants. Similarly discuss the options that you may need to transfer some of these from MRS back to HR. For example, you can set periodic project meetings in MRS custom enhancement tab of PS Network and write this information back to HR as a specific infotype .

SAP MRS also allows you to configure to work with custom info types if you need to. For these cases, you have to do the proper configuration as well as you may need to replace some of the standard function modules that are used to transfer data from HR.

The following are some of the infotypes that can be transferred into MRS with standard functional modules and configuration:

• 0007 - Planned Working Time
• 0105 Communication - Assigning an SAP user to the individual.
• 2001 - Absences (Several Subtypes)
• 2002 – Attendances
• 2003 – Alternative Working Times
• 2004 – Availability
• 9222 & 9223 are used for approval workflow for the individual MRS qualifications. (Consider using these custom info types if you are willing to use MRS qualifications with approvals.)

Understand Usage of Abstract Status and User Status – Understand the concept of abstract status in MRS and understand the capabilities of representing demand status in MRS Planning Boards. (Status translations/transfers can occur at the demand header (PM/CS Order or PS Network header) or item (PM/CS Order Operation or PS Network Activity) level. Before designing your solution, you better understand this functionality by which you can determine how MRS should response in different status. MRS allows schedulers to change the system and user status of demands from planning boards.

Hi All,

We have a clustering BOBJ environment (4.1 SP4) and I have installed explorer on both servers.

When I start explorer services, only one explorer master server is started, the other is stopped.

The error message says:

Stopping this Explorer Master server because Explorer Master servers cannot cluster together. It may be due to either IPv6 or 'master.cluster.name' Explorer application property variable not set or ports from 5701 to 57xx are blocked (where 'xx' is the number of Explorer Master servers and '5701' is the default value of 'master.cluster.multicast.port' property) or the network does not support multicast.

Could anyone tell me where to setup master.cluster.name ?

I have tried to setup this variable in default.settings.properties file under webapps\explorer\WEB-INF\classes folder, adding master.cluster.name=<clustername>, but not work.

Appreciate your help.

Regards,

Ryan

Hello, We started to have a weird problem about a week ago. Suddenly about once a day all Crystal reports on the web server stop loading ("Load report failed."). All of them at once (we have around hundred). There is no apparent reason for this. To fix the problem I have to re-publish the ASP.NET application. What's more - this is a server specific. We have 3 web servers where this application runs, and only one of them has this issue. We had tried to reboot the server, clear the cache - no luck. What could be an issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
