🚦 SAP S/4 HANA – AVC: Now You Can Edit the Restrictable Flag!

by

A small improvement for anyone working with PMEVC and characteristic modeling in SAP S/4HANA. SAP now allows changing the Restrictable flag for

existing characteristics — with important conditions.

🔍 What’s New?

  • ✔️ The Restrictable flag is now editable after characteristic creation
  • ✔️ By default, PMEVC sets the flag as Restrictable when creating characteristics
  • ✔️ Previously, this was locked and couldn’t be modified later
  • ✔️ SAP Note 3645148 now enables the change — but only when conditions are met

✅ Conditions to Modify the Restrictable Flag

 

  • 🔸 The characteristic is NOT used in any released dependency
  • 🔸 Additional Values is NOT active in the value domain

📌 Reference: SAP Note 3645148 – PMEVC: editing of restrictable flag after creation of characteristic

If you’re working on AVC modeling, review your characteristics and check if this update can simplify your current project.

How to find the odata errors in SAP S/4HANA

by

Loading

Check OData Error Logs in /IWFND/ERROR_LOG

The primary location for checking OData service errors is the transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG.

  • Steps:
    1. Execute the transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG in the SAP GUI.
    2. Use filters such as User, Date/Time, or Service to narrow down the results.
    3. Check the error details for further analysis.
  • Error Analysis:
    • Analyze the error codes and messages.
    • Inspect the stack trace for technical details.
    • Often includes information about missing authorizations, incorrect URIs, or payload issues.

Advanced Variant Configuration screen does not open in classic SAPGUI transactions

by

The Advanced Variant Configuration screen does not open in classic SAPGUI transactions (e.g. Sales Order processing) and shows an error page or an empty screen or an error message that some requests were not successful in case the S/4HANA embedded Fiori deployment option is used, which means S/4HANA backend and Fiori frontend server system are the same.

Another issue is that a logon page comes up in SAPGUI for Windows when opening the Advanced Variant Configuration screen in case the S/4HANA embedded Fiori deployment option is used.

The reason for the issue in the Advanced Variant Configuration screen is that an origin URL parameter is added to the OData requests sent to the SAP Gateway system, which is prohibited by SAP Gateway in the Co-Deployment scenario.

The logon page issue happens because in SAPGUI for Windows, the SSO logon cannot be established the same way as when accessing the system via Fiori Launchpad and embedded SAPGUI for HTML; instead, a ticket-based logon using special capabilities of the SAPGUI HTML Viewer control is used.

🎯 SAP S/4 Hana 2023: New Fiori APP’s in Manufacturing

by

Loading

The below are the list of New apps that have been released in SAP S/4 Hana 2023 in the Manufacturing LOB

⚡ Historical Buffer Performance  –

is a new app using which you can view the historical data for your buffer stock related to the time-dependent buffer level charts within a specified time period (for example, last month). The visualization and analytical capabilities helps the production planner to gain an insight into the historical buffer performance for a material.

⚡Manage Material Coverage(F0251A) –

With this app, you can display and analyze coverage issues that exist for selected materials. For each material that you select, you can display a stock / requirements list including material shortage information, which helps you determine shortages that can cause disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. You can also take actions directly from the app, for example, start an MRP run or edit MRP elements to resolve coverage issues

⚡Evaluate Capacity is a new app using which you can better visualize capacity situation of work centers within a plant. You can group work centers based on work center group and visualize the utilization on the group level. The visualization and analytical capabilities helps in understanding and managing the impact of capacity situation.

⚡My Area of Responsibility – Work Center Person Responsible

With this new app, you can define your area of responsibility by selecting the respective combinations of plant and work center person responsible. In the Mass maintenance of work center capacities app, only those work center capacities are displayed in the worklist that fulfill your selection criteria.

⚡Advance Variant Configuration(AVC) &VCH_HL_AFL_CHECK⚡

🎯  As we know the AVC has to be installed after the S4 Hana has been installed. This can be part of your upgrade or even for new installation

🎯 It is always important to evaluate if all the Technical Pre-Requisites are completed correctly

🎯 This is completely as Technical task for validation but still it is good for the Functional consultants also to be aware of this Pre-Requisites.

🎯 SAP has provided a standard report -VCH_HL_AFL_CHECK which will help you to execute and confirm the same.

🎯 There are parameters which are more technical but the important part is you should be getting a  message -“Procedure Called Successfully” in Green Highlighted color. This confirms that the technical pre-requisites are installed correctly.

Sales order Creation with Variant Configuration

by
The creation of sales order with variant configuration characteristics will be a little tricky one.
we have to use the below  Function module(FM) –
For Creation : SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE
For Changes: SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE
 
one of the advantage of using this FM is that this will support all document types like Sales order, Scheduling agreements, Customer independent Requirements.

In the following section we will see the usage of this FM to create a simple Customer Independent requirement (MD81) with the variant configuration values passed on to the same.The below are the fM structure you need to work with

 

ORDER_HEADER_IN
ORDER_ITEMS_IN
SALES_SCHEDULES_IN
SALES_CFGS_REF
SALES_CFGS_INST
SALES_CFGS_VALUE
