SAP > Form not Found

Posted by Aries Wandari

       Trying to print PO doc type ZSVS (PO service), error notification comes out “Forms not Found”. Search on NACE, show that the smartforms is not assigned yet. It mean that for this 2 years users not using PO service print…
clip_image002

          Accounting boss want to trial a schema that PO service has quantity as the value of the PO. While its value is 1. Hopefully the schema will make GR and invoicing more easier. But it will need some modification on smartforms.

SAP > SAP PM Meeting Update

Posted by Aries Wandari

Rough note of latest SAP PM meeting attended.   
---
Beberapa poin dalam enhancement modul SAP PM:
1. Penerapan refurbishment pada store, dengan demikian material yang (sedang dalam perbaikan) di vendor dapat dimonitor.
2. Cross application timesheet (CATS), dimana data jam kerja karyawan di modul PM link dengan modul HR sehingga hour rate dan pay hour-nya bisa dimonitor.
3. Membuat printed form untuk permit request di SAP.
4. PR maintenance harus dari WO.
5. Store withdrawal from SR --> WO.
6. Setiap WO harus berasal dari Notifikasi.
7. Pembenahan cost centre, karena banyak cost centre yang budgetnya ada namun aktualnya tidak ada, atau sebaliknya. Perlu pembahasan bersama antara user pengguna cost centre dan pembuat budget dengan cost centre maintainer (pak Rashid).
8. Masalah cost centre lagi, untuk kasus dimana suatu pembiayaan (material/service) namun penggunaannya oleh banyak departemen. Biaya akan dibebankan ke cost centre mana. Saat ini biaya dibebankan ke cost centre yang paling banyak menggunakan material/service ini.
9. Pertanyaan pihak maintenance dimana banyak WO yang sudah closed namun masih ada PR yang terbuka sehingga WO harus di un-close PR bisa proses ke tahap selanjutnya. Juga pertanyaan proses akunting selanjutnya apabila sudah CLSD.
10. Mengecek script pada WO apakah cost centre yang keluar sudah benar atau belum (cost centre yang keluar adalah hasil script dari input user pasangan Functional Location+Planner Group).

Pak Imam said that he’ve been doing upload vendor banks account.We should check the vendor account on XK03, go to change in sensitive fields.
clip_image004
Yes, it shows than bank details has been changed.

We need to confirm the changes of sensitive field with FK09. Note that the SAP user that doing the confirmation has to be different user who doing the changes. After this, PPL can be done.

Batch Programming

Posted by Aries Wandari

I need to compress .bak backup MSSQL database file and copy to another server weekly. One option of doing it is using batch command and run it by scheduler.
clip_image002
This batch programming below is capture current year month, and compressing file based on file name (the filename has month description in itself).
-------------
::Display command at screen
echo on
::variable definition
set yyyy=none
set mm=none
set yyyymm=none
::take year and month parameter
for /F "tokens=2 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set mm=%%i
for /F "tokens=3 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set yyyy=%%i
::fill year month parameter
set yyyymm=%yyyy%%mm%
::looping at criterialysized file list at directory (by year month) and creating compressed 7z file

set source=D:\BackUp
pushd "%source%"
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%z in (' dir /b *%yyyymm%*.bak') do 7z a Z:\backup%yyyymm%.7z "%%z"
popd

SAP > Error Enter G/L Account No when Creating PR

Posted by Aries Wandari

User experience “Enter G/L Account No” error when creating PR.
clip_image002
This error related to gl account automatic posting, thus related to material valuation class.
Go to Display Material MM03 > Accounting 1 tab to see material valuation class.
clip_image004
Go to OMWB to see G/L Accounts in MM Account Determination (Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Account Determination > Account Determination without Wizard > Configure Automatic Posting > G/L Accounts)
Configuration shows that the valuation class only has one gl account configuration, that is account balance. While the P&L account is not configured yet.
300116     Receipt Credit A/C (GR/IR) - Services              Balance
           3090 Services Expenses          
                WRX GR/IR clearing account


Compare with valuation class that has balance and P&L gl account pair.
300116     Receipt Credit A/C (GR/IR) - Services              Balance
    2060 Stationeries/Supplies/Pri
        WRX GR/IR clearing account

780000 Stationeries/Supplies/Printing/Photocopy P&L
    2060 Stationeries/Supplies/Pri
        GBB Offsetting entry for inventory posting
        VBR Consumption for Internal Goods Issues
        VBR Consumption for Internal Goods Issues


I should ask accounting to config P&L account for this automatic posting then, since this things is their authority.

     Our SAP system now maintain two company. Since both using same smartforms, we have to modify it. Today I have to modify procurement manager name. When we print to Company A, it shows Mr A, when we print to Company B it will shows company B. The node shows that the element is using SAP standard text. So I just have to add new SAP standard text (tcode: SO10, as SE78 to input graphics) to Company B and add condition to the node. Not a big deal.
     Test part at PTD (development environment) shows o.k. But after transport it to PTQ (quality environment), the item is just blank. Try to debug it in PTD everything is fine. But in PTQ it still blank. After minutes work around, it just a silly mistake. I forgot to create the standard text in PTQ also. Standard text (and graphics) is not automatically transported when we transport the smartforms. And ofcourse, I have to add it manually at PTP (production environment).

SAP > Old Memories on Sales and Distribution

Posted by Aries Wandari

Todays job is uploading PO that has been already GR by store. How come doing Good Receipt without PO? Hehehe.. this early phase of SAP implementation is not perfect yet, we have to do 'back door' things to keep the plant running and money in balance.

Meanwhile, our Sales and Distribution key users and IT who guard this module is in holiday (ups, it is me who take the job on Saturday). Warehouse and sales team start asking about Sales Quotation, Sales Order, Delivery, Credit Limit Check, Finish Goods Stock Balance, Consignment, etc etc.... Gotta hardly remember SD things one year past.

For email address, I found the table from this article, since at the technical information of the field it point to a structure, not direct point to original table.
http://husnie.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/finding-email-address-customer-and-vendor-master-on-sap/
You need to activated SQL trace and change email on master to find where email address is stored. Here i share the result of tracing using SQL trace of email addess Customer and Vendor master.
For Vendor :
select adr6-addrnumber (email)
from table adr6 join table lfa1 with key adr6-addrnumber = lfa1-adrnr
