Hello Gurus,

I have setup intercompany STO ( 2 different plants with 2 different company codes)

Intercompany Stock Transport order with billing and shipping:-

Purchase order created for 500 Qty with over delivery tolerance 10% and released it  ->in VL10b , created delivery for 800 qty for that Purchase order-> the Billing done in SD module for 800 Qty

System has created delivery for 500 Qty but user has changed the qty and did the PGI for 800 Qty

MIGo- with Reference to Purchase order for 800 Qty which system should not allow because Good Issue more than the over delivery tolerance 10% defined in PO  

How to stop system in which system should check the overdelivery Tol. ( in this case 50 Qty so total 550) and should not allow delivery more than 550 qty ?

Thanks

Hi

Once the vendor has been selected based on the quotations the user will create PO. If the value of the PO is more than 10000 then the contract or agreement (with terms and conditions) will be prepared and send to the vendor. For each PO they want to create a contract. This contract won't be used to create another POs.

Can you please share your ideas to fulfill the below requirement.

Hi Experts

We have come across an issue in which a customized PO message output is not getting triggered in some cases.

We have checked the condition records and did not find any discrepancy.

We also looked for any particular timings or trends but could not get anywhere.

Any suggests are welcome. Please advise.

Thanks

Dear Experts,

My customer (a trading company) ask for a quantity/value contract in the same Document, which means when one of the two conditions (quantity & value) is full filled, the contract will be ended.

In a trading company, Quantity contract or Value contract is enough. I want to show him the redundancy of this requirement but i couldn't find the appropriate reasons.

Could you experts give me some analysis for this. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Experts,

I would like to understand how the posting key is determined for consignment settlement in MRKO.

When we are trying to settle the consignment using MRKO for 262/k movement type, it is looking for posting key '21' since last week, but before that it was checking for posting key '31' when creating the FI document for the same 262/K.

So, I am curios to know what setting in SAP will determine the posting key for movement type 262/K for creating FI document in MRKO.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

hello everyone,

any help .. thanks

Dear All,

Client requirement is like this-  Coal is procured based on tentative price at the time of PO. This price is linked to Indonesian coal index which keeps on changing. At the time of creation of GRN system should automatically pick coal price based on Indonesian index at GRN date. We have activated CPE(Commodity Pricing Engine). Condition type ZC01 with calculation type Q is created. Formula is linked to this condition type to calculate Coal price from Indonesian coal index. We are maintaining the quotations for Indonesian index for various dates and same is being used in formula to arrive the coal price(ZC01).

Issue is- At the time of GRN system is not referring to Indonesian index based on GRN date. How do I configure the system so that at the time of GRN value for condition type will be calculated automatically using CPE formula, based on GRN date Indonesian index.

Dear MM Gurus

I have a scenario which I need to configure but I am confused whether is it possible or not? Scenario is that we will create STO and outbound delivery. Freight will not be entered in STO. Stock will be issued with 641 movement type and after PGI we will create shipment document with VT01N. Freight vendor will be added in shipment document. After this we will create shipment cost document and freight charges will be determined and calculated here. We will transfer this to FI using freight PO and then MIRO for freight payment to transporter/vendor. Process with T codes will be

ME21N > STO

VL10B > Outbound Delivery

VT01N > Shipment Document

VI01 >    Shipment cost document

VI02 >   Transfer freight charges to FI using freight PO determination

MIRO > Payment of freight charges to vendor

I am not adding MIGO because it is understood that stock which we have issued will obviously be received from receiving plant. This is plant to plant transfer in same company. Requirement is that freight charges should be charged to inventory or in other words freight which we have entered in shipment cost document should be capitalized. 

Another requirement is that there will be two delivery orders in same shipment document. One from sale order and one from STO. I have checked this and system is allowing to add provided that there is same route in both deliveries. Sale order freight charges will be posted to expense GL and STO delivery freight charges should be capitalized. I have done sale order part but got stuck in STO. Is it possible that we post sale order delivery freight to expense GL and STO delivery freight to inventory in same shipment cost document.

Have anyone of you ever configure this or have you any idea that how to capitalized freight charges in transportation process? I have done this in normal STO process but not using transportation management.

Quick response will be highly appreciated.

Many of you know from various LSMW blogs and documents and from my BIF  that Master Data Management and Data Migration is my main activity field for about 10 years now, and I expect it to continue for some years.

Looking at the number of views on my LSMW blogs and documents makes me feel like a teacher. And if you still remember your school days then you know what teachers are notorious for: A quiz to check what you remembered

Before you ask.

Yes, it is allowed to search SCN if you do not know the answer from your mind.

Some questions can have more than one correct answer.

No, there is no price to win, no T-shirt, no badge. It is just  for fun, and maybe to learn or refresh the one or other thing on LSMW

1) SCN celebrated its 10 years anniversary in 2013. How many LSMW questions got posted in SDN/SCN since its foundation?

¨ < 5000

¨ 5001 - 10000

¨ 10001 - 20000

¨ > 20000

2) What is the current version of LSMW (in ERP 6)?

¨ LSMW 1.0

¨ LSMW 1.6

¨ LSMW 1.8.0

¨ LSMW 4.0.0

3) Which statement is true?

¨ A LSMW project can have any number of subprojects

¨ LSMW can only be exported and imported but cannot be included into a transport request.

¨ SAP recommends to use recordings if no standard import objects are available.

¨ LSMW can be used to extract data from a legacy system

4) Which import methods are supported in LSMW?

¨ only recording

¨ Idoc

¨ Bapi

¨ Standard Batch Input/Direct Input

5) How many main steps does the BAPI import method have

¨ 14

¨ 16

¨ 18

¨ 20

6)Which statement about the maximum file name length is true?

¨ File name "Imported data" Max 45 characters

¨ File name "Converted data" Max 45 characters

¨ File name length is not limited

¨ File name "Exported data" Max 45 characters

7) Which authorization is needed to work with a LSMW project

¨ B_LSMW_EXEC

¨ B_LSMW_CHG

¨ B_LSMW_ALL

¨ B_LSMW_PRO

8) Is the authorization B_LSMW_ALL sufficient to post the transaction, e.g. to create a vendor master?

¨ Yes, B_LSMW_ALL is all I need to create a vendor

¨ No, the LSMW authorization is limited to the usage of LSMW but does not overrule the authorization needed to post a vendor master

9) You have to load 500000 spare parts. Business does not want new material numbers to avoid relabeling in the warehouse. Customizing is set to internal numbers only. Assumed that the numbers do not conflict with existing material number ranges. Is it possible to load the material masters without changing the customizing?

¨ Yes, it is possible with standard batch input/direct input import method

¨ Yes, it is possible with recording method

¨ Yes, it is possible with Idoc method

¨ No, it is not possible without changing the customizing

10) All recordings done in a project are visible if you click the Recordings Overview button in Step 1 Maintain Object Attributes. But can you use more than 1 recording per LSMW object?

¨ No, per 1 object you can only use 1 recording

¨ Yes, it is possible to run multiple recordings within 1 object

11) Which task do you need to do before you can create IDocs and when at the latest possible time?

¨ Post a discussion in SCN an hour before Go-Live

¨ Activate Idoc Inbound processing latest before you execute the "Convert data" step

¨ Activate Idoc Outbound processing right before "Start IDoc Generation"

¨ Activate Idoc Inbound processing right before "Start IDoc Generation"

12) What is a disadvantage of the recording import method?

¨ No simulation mode

¨ The target structure must be flat

¨ The target structure must not contain item structures with a variable number of items

¨ There is no disadvantage

13) Step 4 Maintain Structure Relations. Which of the following statements is true?

¨ A flat source structure can be assigned to multiple target structures

¨ A complex source structure (header level - item level - sub item level) can be assigned to a flat target structure

¨ A  source Idoc structure can be assigned to a target Idoc structure of the same message type

¨ A flat source structure can only be assigned to a flat target structure

14) Your client prepares the data in Excel, you save this as text file to read it with LSMW. You know that your Excel file has 1000 records, nevertheless LSMW read log says that it read 1002 records. What can be the root cause?

¨ Unknown bug in LSMW

¨ Hidden lines in Excel

¨ Deleted Excel cells

¨ Headline counts twice

15) You are using Idoc import method and 1 Idoc failed posting. You edit the IDOC and correct the wrong value. Then you execute  "try posting again" in step Start IDoc Follow-Up but you receive the message  "No data selected". What can be the reason for this message.

¨ An Idoc cannot be edited

¨ you missed to execute the step Start IDoc Generation

¨ The Idoc is no longer in status 51 and you need to switch the radio button to "Resubmit the edited IDoc:"

¨ You need to switch the radio button to "Reset status 62 Idoc passed to Application"

16) You did a recording for MM01 Create Material Master. When you run the batch input you receive the error  "Formatting error in the field xxxxx" . What can be causing this error?

¨ A field in Excel was maintained in bold letters

¨ Material master recording needs to be done with MMZ1 instead of MM01

¨ A mandatory field was not included in your recording

¨ LSMW object was created by a different user

17)  You did a recording for MM01 Create Material Master. When you run the batch input you receive the error  "Field MARA-EKWSL does not exist in screen SAPLMGMM 4000" . Why do you get this error?

¨ The screen in the batch input is not the same screen as currently processed

¨ EKWSL field is in table MARC

¨ You do not have authorization to create material masters

¨ The field is set to "display only" in material master field selection

18) How can you secure that you do not  process an incorrect file in LSMW (e.g. customers instead of vendors)?

¨ Display read data and display each segment in detail to ensure that all fields are filled with the right content

¨ Run batch input session in foreground

¨ Have field names in source file identical to your source definition and remove the flag for "Field order matches Source structure definition"

¨ Let some from customer service run the batch input session for customers

19) In field mapping of a standard batch input/direct input you are missing some target fields. How can you solve this issue?

¨ Switch the import method to recording

¨ Adding the fields in the step 3 Maintain Source Fields

¨ Activate technical fields in Display variant in step 5 Field mapping

¨ Execute Auto-Field Mapping

20) You loaded purchase order long text to the material master in your logon language using the direct input method. However, you cannot see the long text in MM03. What can be the root cause to this issue?

¨ Characters are loaded in the same color as the background color

¨ Missing leading zeros for the material number

¨ Text longer than allowed

¨ Text ID wrong

I hope you had your fun with the questions, and got to know if you are ready for the real world of LSMW,  beyond the school exercises.

The answers to the questions are not far away . In any case you can find them in help.sap.com  and blogs, documents and discussions in SCN.

You can leave me your comments, your score, which question was easy or extra difficult, but please do not post answers in the comment section

1) 22455 discussions per  December 2nd 2014, use the SCN search and only enter LSMW and execute, you can see the number for discussions on the left

2) Goto LSMW, select from menu Extras > Display LSMW version

3) LSMW can have any number of subprojects assigned to it, and SAP recommends to use recordings only for own developments , see OSS note 554635

4) LSMW supports Standard Batch Input/Direct Input, Idoc, BAPI and recording. Only recording is a wrong answer.

5) 16 main steps -  Click the user menu button in LSMW and then the main steps button

6) file name "converted data" has a maximum of 45 characters

7) B_LSMW_PRO came with LSMW 1.8 version, without this authorization object you cannot open any Project

8) No, you need to have the authorization for vendor master creation too, otherwise your posting run will result in errors

9) Yes, it is possible with Idoc method. It is standard design that IDOCs ignore the settings for number ranges

10) Yes, it is possible to run multiple recordings within 1 object, there is a button for "more recordings" in step 1

11) Activate Idoc Inbound processing latest before you execute the "Convert data" step, because you need already Idoc specific header data in the converted data before you start creating the IDocs

12) The target structure must be flat, The target structure must not contain item structures with a variable number of items

13) A flat source structure can be assigned to multiple target structures. A  source Idoc structure can be assigned to a target Idoc structure of the same message type

14) Hidden lines in Excel. Deleted Excel cells. If only cells are emptied instead of lines deleted, then this space is still reserved in Excel and when you save it as text, then you have empty lines at the end of the text file

15) The Idoc is no longer in status 51 and you need to switch the radio button to "Resubmit the edited IDoc:"

16) A mandatory field was not included in your recording, this can happen if you record Spare parts and use this recording to load other material types too.

17) The screen in the batch input is not the same screen as currently processed, details see in my blog Explained issues with LSMW recording for material master

18) Display read data and display each segment in detail to ensure that all fields are filled with the right content. Have field names in source file identical to your source definition and remove the flag for "Field order matches Source structure definition"

19) Activate technical fields in Display variant in step 5 Field mapping

20) Missing leading zeros for the material number. Text ID wrong. The direct input does not validate your entries, you have to do this yourself, see my blog LSMW Long text load by Direct Input method

Hello,

I'm trying to use idoc BLAORD03 to create lsmw for purchasing contracts (services).

I'd appreciate if someone could guide me on the structures to select and how the mapping should be done.

BAPI BUS2014 (PURCONTRACT_CREATE01) would've been my preferred option, but it doesn't have the ESLL structure.

Thank you.

Hi Experts,

We have two documents type NB & ZNB for Purchase Requisition.

1) We are using Doc type NB for Requisition which is Triggered /created through APO/MRP.

2) Doc type ZNB we are using for Requisition which is created manually.

Now what we want is to Restrict Doc type NB, if someone tries to create Requisition manually through it as it is only used in case of Requisition Triggered from APO/MRP.

Do we have any Standard Config setup available to restrict this or we need help from technical Consultant to go for some Enhancement? Please Suggest.
