SAP- Enhancment Package

by

Earlier, People used to discuss on the version of SAP like 4.7 or ECC  then ECC5 /ECC6 etc.
But currently the trend is about what EHP levels we are exposed and how much new functions we are aware of.

What is EHP ?
SAP delivers all the new functions that are delivered for different modules in a one single package called EHP.

So when you upgrade to the EHP 5 to EHP6 technically all the new EHP6 functionalities will be made available in the system

But there are instances that few functions needs to be activated in the Business Framework to make it work. This is because not all the new functionalities in the EHP6 will be applicable to the business.

To know about the new functions in each of the EHP kindly CLICK HERE.

This link will take you to the screen like below and from there is it self explanatory.

Do leave a comment of what lates EHP levels you are working and what functionality is being used by you.
 

 

Planning Calendar With Insufficient Periods

by

When we work with the Planning calendar make sure the material master is having the right master data set up.
IN some instances we may use a Lot size with planning calendar , but forget to maintain the planning calendar in the material master.
or 
In sufficient period in the assigned planning calendar.

So during such instance we fill face an error like below.

 Message no. 61123 

Error determining plannin
Solution:

In such case do check the material master and then the planning calendar.

Let me know if it helped for you .

 

Finding the Inconsistent / Incomplete configured materials

by

As we work on the Variant configuration. There are instances where we will have incomplete / Inconsistent configurations.

The reason for me for many things. But in case if you need to find the list of materials that are like this.

Then we have 2 options to find them

1. Use the report RCU_MAINTAIN_IBASE_STATUS.

* This helps to find the inconsistent configuration for sales order/ material/Class etc.

2. You can use the standard CL30N using the classification  report.

 Let me know if this was helpful and if you are looking for support on this subject do leave a comment.

Transfer of the Materail Variant and Configurable Materials Char & values

by

When we work with the variant configuration environment and in case of interfaces with the Third party system.Then there will be requirement to transfer the Material along with the char values to other systems.

It is recommended to use the standard IDOC methods. 

We have the MATMAS message type to transfer the material. But generally when you try to transfer using this message, the char  and the values will not be transmitted automatically.

In such case kindly check the setting in the OMT0. In this you need to activate the tranfser of char values.

 Once done then the IDOCS will carry the char values in the segments.

Quota arrangement item cannot be deleted or date modified

by

It was an  interesting scenario where the existing quota was created with end date of the quota as 31.12.9999 and when i tried to modify the date. we were not able to modify the date or delete the quota or  delete the item.
We encountered with the below error message:

Quota arrangement item 001 cannot be deletedMessage no. 06521

Diagnosis

The quota arrangement item 001 cannot be deleted because it is active in the system (that is, the quota-allocated quantity is not zero).

Now when the Alloted qty was to be made zero, but i didn’t find any order in the MD04 screen.

Solution:
To make the alloted qty zero run the report RM06Q003. Once this is executed for the particular material the allotted qty becomes zero and it allows to modify the date.

let me know if this helped for all.Do leave your comments if this worked or if it not worked. also.

SAP Standard Errors

by

1)message no. 29119

For material XXXXXXX, material status YY ‘All functions blocked’ does not allow BOM maintenance
Message no. 29119

In such cases check if there is any blocked status in all the plants. So better check it in the table level if any plant is having this all functions blocked.

Only after in all plants it will allow the BOM Maintenance.

Initializing or emptying a Field in LSMW

by

During some master data creation like the IA05 ( General Task List – Plant Maint) the group number (if internal) needs to be generated every time newly.

In case if you need to intialise the field or empty the field it need to be marked as “!” or “/”.

This will help to initialize the field or make it empty.

Making it default of constant in the LSMW does not work some times so it is better to have this field in the upload file and enter the value “!”.
