When trying to restore a backup, BRRESTORE reports that there is not enough space in certain file systems.
BR360E/BR360W Not enough disk space in ... for restore/verification, missing ... MB.
The same can occur in SAPDBA in the functions:
"Reorganize tablespace and data files" and
"Move/rename data files of a tablespace"
To create a file, UNIX does not only need the exact space in the size of the file but also another relatively small amount of space for the file system administration.
This additional space cannot be determined exactly before the file is created. However, you definitely have to take it into account when you check the available space because otherwise errors can occur when storing due to a lack of space.
BRRESTORE and SAPDBA therefore assume that in addition to the total size of the files that are to be saved (fsize), a reserve space (res) needs to be available for the file system administration.
In some cases this could be a little more than the actual space required. For this reason, it is possible that in a very tightly calculated file system this space is not available, although the files were or still are included in the system before restore (during backup) or during reorganization (check of space).
Thus, BRRESTORE and SAPDBA only provide a warning if the assumed reserve space does not exist. As a general rule you should not set up your file systems too closely to the exact size of the individual data files.
If an error occurs, the Restore or reorganization is terminated.
Depending on the release, the following values are rlevant for the space check:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
new insp. method (in 3.1I as of BRRESTORE Patch 12 or SAPDBA-Patch 22,
in 4.0B as of BRRESTORE Patch 24 or SAPDBA-Patch 69,

in 4.5B as of BRRESTORE Patch 1 or SAPDBA-Patch 1
and in general as of SAPDBA/BRRESTORE 4.6A):
Freespache: free
Reserve: res = free/1024
Ideal situation: fsize <= free - res
Warning: free - res < fsize <= free
Error (Termination): free < fsize
old insp. method (til SAPDBA/BRRESTORE 4.5B except in the a.m. patches):
Freespace: free
Reserve (til 4.0A): res = fsize/1024 + 1MB
(as of 4.0B): res = fsize/1024
Ideal situation: fsize + res <= free
Warning: free < fsize + res <= free + 10MB.
Error: free + 10MB < fsize + res
Caution with Unix installations:
--------------------------------
If disks for database files are re-formatted (file systems are created again), then the space reserved for Superuser Root and the number of Inodes should be kept at a minimum. For this refer to the SAP Installation Guide:

As of Release 3.0, it is possible in Great Britain to store bank transactions with different execution days in a telepay file. The creation of payment advice notes using DME management, which is common in other countries, can generally not be used in Great Britain because the bank gives a confirmation for each execution day but not for the entire file.
Cause and prerequisitesThe creation of payment advice notes in DME management creates a payment advice note for each data carrier. However, for different execution days this only applies to some data records.

If you want to make a clearing posting with reference to a reservation and do not know the reservation, you can search for it by means of search criteria. One criterion is the 'Requirements date' field. If you enter a date here, the system searches for the reservations which correspond to this date. However, the documentation says that all reservations with a requirements date with a date less than or equal to are found.
Cause and prerequisitesVariance program logic and documentation.
SolutionIf items have already been specified in the purchasing document, the price per purchase order price unit is not changed if the currency and/or the exchange rate is changed in the document header (this also applies to the creation of POs with reference to a requisition).
Example: Item 10 DM per 1 pc.
Currency changed from DEM to USD with exchange rate 2
Expected value in item: 5 USD per 1 pc.
Displayed value in item: 10 USD per 1 pc.
Design decision: Were the purchase order price to be translated, in the event that the currency were entered wrongly, precisely this system behavior would be undesired.

In flexible analyses, totals are not displayed. In standard analyses, values/quantities without unit are displayed although they must be available.
Cause and prerequisitesThe missing totals can be traced back to missing units in the information structures. If several entries with differing units are read and displayed from the information structure, then it is not possible to display totals, because it might lead to apples and pears being added together. If no corresponding unit was updated for a value/quantity in the information structure, the system interprets the missing unit as a different unit for the display.
This means that the actual cause for the error in the analysis is the fact that units are missing in the info structure.
The missing units can be traced back to an error in the generated update programs. If the value or quantity to be updated is 'zero', or ifupdating is prevented by a requirement, the unit is not determined. If, however, a record already exists in the information structure to which the new value/quantity is to be cumulated, the unit there that has already been correctly updated is overwritten by the unit that is now missing.
In most cases, this incorrect overwriting of units only occurs if requirements which prevent updating of a value are used in updating definitions.
Coding was corrected for 2.1M and 2.2G.
Advance correction is possible by making changes to the program (new coding lines are marked '<-- new', coding lines to be deleted are marked '<--del'); lines of coding relevant to release levels 2.1M, 2.2G and 3.0ABC are marked '<--new 2.1M, 2.2G, 3.0ABC').

When upgrading to Release 3.0, conversion program MMXPRA06 is run automatically. This may result in the system issuing the error message "Maintenance status overflow", stating the client and material master field concerned.
Cause and prerequisitesOne of the functions of the conversion program is to extend the maintenance status of some material master fields. (You can check the current maintenance status with Customizing transaction OMSR - Assign fields to field groups.)
If, while making modifications, the customer has defined his own maintenance statuses in addition to those defined in the standard SAP R/3 System, it is possible, however, that not all the new maintenance statuses (compare report documentation for MMXPRA06) will be assigned since a maximum of 15 maintenance statuses can be specified for each field. In this case, the maintenance status for the field concerned is not extended in the client.

In the ORACLE table TST03 (tablespace PSAPPROTD) the variable length field DCONTENT has a size of 9996 bytes in most cases. As the ORACLE block size is 8Kb on many installations, almosts all rows in TST03 are chained on 2 blocks and the second one is filled only 25%.
Cause and prerequisitesWhy you cannot change the structure of TST03?
As you can see from the type of the fields, this table is not handled by ABAP programs, but only by routines of the C kernal. Ant the C kernal knows the maximum length of that field.
Why that strange length?
The length had been 31 kbytes long time ago. I had to reduce this to 9996 at a moment, when the R/3 data dictionary could handle only length information with four digits. At that time we did not know about the 8 Kbyte blocks of ORACLE. Or maybe ORACLE did not use blocks of that size in those early releases. Today I think 8032 bytes would have been better.
Why not to change the length at SAP?
The price for reducing the length is:
What SAP shall do?
The C kernal has to be modified in a way, that it still can handle data base rows of 10 Kbyte, but that it will insert only new records, which are smaller that 8032 Bytes net data.

SolutionAlthough a tape unit with hardware compression is available and the compression is switched on as a default on the tape deck, it is inactive during database backups with BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE. This means that the whole tape capacity (see Note 8707) cannot be used.

Cause and prerequisites
During the goods receipt with reference to the purchase order or the production order, overdeliveries are only allowed if this was determined in the purchase order or order (indicator "Unlimited" or definition of the "overdelivery tolerance"). If this is exceeded, the system will always display an error message.

SolutionThe documentation for the user exit is missing for the electronic account statement.
This is caused by a transport error.
SolutionBy means of this function exit, it is possible to analyze every line item on your electronic account statement and to add additional information.
In particular, it is possible:
CAUTION: If you want to post with summarization (i.e. the posting rule of the current line item allows summarization), you must not fill E_FEBEP-KFMOD. Since summarized posting posting to various accounts is not planned for the electronic account statement and would lead to errors.
The electronic account statement is first imported completely into the bank data buffer. After importing, the so-called interpretation of data is carried out. During this step, every line item on the account statement is searched for clearing information by scanning the notes to payee line for document numbers or reference document numbers. After every interpretation of a individual sales by SAP modules, the function exit described here is called up. Here each customer can influence the further processing individually. After each callup of the function exit, the changed data is updated in the bank data buffer.
The actual creation of the postings is only carried out if all line items of the account statements to be processed were interpreted.
The function exit imports the following structures:
The function exit exports the following structures:
The structures FEBKO, FEBEP, FEBRE and FEBCL are defined in the Data Dictionary. Note
NoteVia the structures FEBKO and FEBEP as well as the tables FEBRE and FEBCL, you receive all data which is contained in the SAP System for an individual sale (line item) of an account statement. This is data which come from the bank (e.g. amounts) and data that was extended during the process (e.g. company code).
ad 1.: Finding and transferring clearing informationProcedure: If the standard SAP algorithms for finding clearing information are not sufficient for your purposes, you can complete or reject the information already found (FEBCL). To do this, you must evaluate information from table FEBRE. This table contains the notes to payee which were supplied by the bank for this line item.
Example:
Your customers use your pre-printed money transfer forms. In this case, you know where you can find the clearing information in the note to payee. For the automatic clearing, you either need the document number (BELNR) or the reference document number (XBLNR) or the account number plus additional information for automatic clearing, such as document date.
Once you found the document number, you can fill the table FEBCL as follows:
T_FEBCL-KUKEY = I_FEBEP-KUKEY
T_FEBCL-ESNUM = I_FEBEP-ESNUM
T_FEBCL-CSNUM = 1.
T_FEBCL-KOART = 'D' for customer
T_FEBCL-AGKON = SPACE if clearing with BELNR, no account required
T_FEBCL-SELFD = 'BELNR' the selection field is the document number
T_FEBCL-SELVON = found document number
T_FEBCL-SELBIS = SPACE only to be filled for intervals
In this case, it is not really necessary to specify the customer number. If you do it anyway, you can possibly facilitate the postprocessing of incorrect transactions in the batch input session considerably. You can then choose the correct open items from the open items of the customer.
By means of the table FEBCL, you can transfer any number of clearing information. This is necessary, for example, when a customer settles several invoices by means of one payment. Do not forget here to extrapolate the field FEBCL-CSNUM.
Once you found a customer number and a document number, you can transfer the clearing information as follows:
T_FEBCL-KUKEY = I_FEBEP-KUKEY
T_FEBCL-ESNUM = I_FEBEP-ESNUM
T_FEBCL-CSNUM = 1.
T_FEBCL-KOART = 'D'
T_FEBCL-AGKON = 'TESTDEBITOR'
T_FEBCL-SELFD = 'BLDAT'
T_FEBCL-SELVON = '19940520' for document date 20 May 1994
The internal activity (field FEBEP-VGINT) determines the posting rule and the account determination. It was determined via the allocation of external to internal activities (table T028G). It can happen that not all line items, that received the same external activity from the bank, are to be updated with the same posting rule. In this case, you can allocate another internal activity to certain line items and therefore change the posting rule.
Example:
You have assigned the Telekom and the utility company for service of electronic power a collection authorization for the telephone bills or account statements. On the account statement, you then get the same external activity for both direct debits. As a result, you must use the same posting rule for both activities without function exit, since exactly one internal activity is allocated to this external activity. By means ofthe function exit, you can then filter the telephone bills from the direct debits due to the note to payee and allocate them to another internal activity. You can thus , for example, post the telephone bill with another document type than the electricity bills.
CAUTION: If you want to post with summarization (i.e. the posting rule of the current line item allows summarization), you must not fill E_FEBEP-KFMOD.
The accounts to be posted to are determined via the internal activity and by replacing the account symbols. Account determination can be additionally influenced by means of account modification (field FEBEP-KFMOD).
Example:
An insurance company has defined the account symbol GELDEINGANG for the cash receipts of the policyholders. To improve transparency, the accounting department would like to post the cash receipt postings to another cash receipt account, depending on the insurance type. The insurance type is encrypted in the first three characters of the insurance number. The policyholders pay the insurance contributions using the pre-printed money transfer forms of the insurance, on which the insurance number is printed. In the function exit, the account modification can be set equal to the first three characters of the insurance number.
The G/L account for the bank account is 113100. In account determination, the follwoing entries are made:
| Acct.symbol | Acct.modif. | Currency | G/L account | |
| GELDEINGANG | + | + | ++++++++01 | |
| GELDEINGANG | 200 | + | ++++++++20 | |

When a cash receipt occurs for the insurance numbers 200.1234.2345.11, the field FEBEP-KFMOD is set = '200' in the function exit. Thus, the postings are made to the account 113120. In case no insurance number is found with the cash receipt, the field FEBEP-KFMOD remains = SPACE and the postings are made to account 113101.
Note:
When defining the account determination, you can check with the function 'Simulation' whether your entries lead to the required result.
Individual billing document numbers are missing from table VBRK - there are gaps in the number range interval.
Number range object, RV_BELEG SNRO
The problem is caused by update terminations in the billing document creation (transactions VF04, VF06 and VF01).
The billing document number is reserved prior to the update. After a possible update termination, it cannot be used again.
Update terminations are displayed in transaction SM13.
Fax documents can only be sent in portrait format.
Cause and prerequisitesDependent on the fax system in use:
1) GammaFax:
Landscape is not supported by the GammaFax card.
2) Topcall:
Preconditions for landscape format:
- SAPcomm version 3.0A4
- Topcall version which supports the pagination command "++FF".
When working with the Informix backup tools, for example: ondatartr 'list/tape=(/dev/rmt0)'
the following message appears: ARC-E-01341, Error while reading save-set HDR1.
ARC-E-01342, Save-set file not found.
ARC1341, ARC1342, INF1341, INF1342, no save sets, empty tape
The scrolling functions in the calculation logs of vendor evaluations generated via ME61 or ME63, or in the background via report RM06LBAT were not active.
Above problem also occurred in RM06LBEU, RM06LC00, RM06L001, RM06LBEW.
The functions were not defined in the CUA interface.
SolutionWhe you transfer the bank directory with report RFBVD__1 or RFBVD__2, error message FU808 is displayed if the indicator 'End of record marker' is set and error message FU806, if the indicator 'End of record marker' is not set. The bank directory originates from the Dresdner Bank.
Key words: RFBVD__0, RFBVD__1, RFBVD__2, BNKA, bank data
The bank directory which is output by the Dresdner Bank has another format than the standard system.
SolutionThe Informix backup tools OnArchive and Autovop do not carry out actions properly even though the hardware is OK.
For example, archive requests by the OnCatlgr are not deleted although the expiry date is already exceeded.
Inconsistencies have arisen in the OnCatlgr tables due to unusual events, for example, cancellation of OnCatlgr during the current operation.
SolutionTo eliminate the inconsistencies, please proceed as follows:
ArchiveLink (Monitor) job queues are not processed, even though the ARCHIVELINK job runs periodically without error. The following error message appears in the job log of the jobs processing the queues: Error opening queue
When the job queues from the ArchiveLink monitor are to be displayed, the error message "Error opening queue" is issued.
Key words: ArchiveLink monitor, queues, jobs
the queue is active and, therefore, blocked.
SolutionWhen backing up log files with the "arcauto" script, all backups are written to separate volumes.
Cause and prerequisitesThese settings were consciously made in such a way to simplify tape handling (for example, one tape per day).
SolutionIf the tape is to be changed only when it is full, "/APART" is to be changed to "/NOAPART" in the "arcauto" script (lines 117-119).
The tape then is written up to its end.
In every case, however, make sure that the tape is changed before the expiry date of the requests in the OnArchive Catalog: after this date the Request IDs are used again and having identical IDs on one tape can ruin the restoring the backup.
If you would like to set a tape explicitly to "full," so that a new volume is used for the next backup (for example, daily cron job), you should proceed as follows:
The system displays message M7 158
'Could not find sales price for & & & &'
as error message or warning.
The sales price valuation is activated in the valuation area in question and the system does not find a sales price for the material in question.

A positive lead-time is not taken into consideration for lead time scheduling of planned orders (e.g. during requirements planning).
Other termsNegative lead time, scheduling, positive lead time, planned order,
NLFZT
The entry of a positive lead time in the MRP data of a BOM component makes no sense for lead time scheduling.
SolutionDatabase has no access permission to its raw devices
system was booted with boot -r, or drvconfig command from command shell
When the SPARC system is rebooted using the boot -r command from the boot PROM monitor or when using a drvconfig command as user root from a standard UNIX shell, then the system reconfigures all the attached SCSI devices. This includes the generation of new device drivers in the /devices and /dev directory.
During this process the owner and group of the block and character special device files are set to root. Also permissions are set to 600 (rw-------)
If you try to startup the database (Informix or Adabas) it may complain that it has no access privilege to the raw devices.
Solution: set the right permissions manually
When using for example Informix as database do the following:
as user root: cd /informix/SID/sapdata
chown -R informix *
chgrp -R informix *
chmod -R 660 *
Customer has several bank accounts with the same account number at one bank for different currencies or other subgroups and has problems when customizing the electronic account statement.
Design.
So far it was assumed that an account can be clearly identified by the bank number and account number.
This was really the case until the credit institutions extended the account number that were not agreed upon.
A currency or branch code of the credit institution is now often added to the account numbers.
Inconsistently, the banks send the extended account number with the account statement. However, they are not able to receive these extended account numbers during the data medium exchange.
The Alternative account number field was added to the house bank account table T012K (T012K-BNKN2). There, you have to enter the extened account number.
1. Apply for different account numbers at the bank
If this is not wanted, use solution proposal 2
2. Double entries in the house bank account table T012K
The entries in the house bank table are used by the payment program and the electronic account statement. Since the bank uses two different account numbers and only one field is available for the account number in Release 2.1and 2.2, the problem can only be solved by double entries in the house bank account table T012K.
Here aou have to consider the following:
This is caused by missing Customizing settings.

Customer inquiry:
How can you enter a text in the SAPscript editor with Cut&Paste without any changes?
Request for consulting
Every time a function key or return is pressed, the automatic screen formatting aligns the text according to automatic word wraparound points. This means that words that are split over the end of a line when typing are automatically joined again on the next line to allow faster text entry.
If you want to deactivate this screen formatting, you should use the paragraph format "/(". The "/" symbol stands for new line, the "(" stands for raw line, that is, line which is not to be formatted.
If you want to use this format for a whole screen, you should create this as a template first (for example, with 20 lines) in a user clipboard (Goto - User clipboard 1 - 3).
Reminder: Lines are copied with Mark F2 or a mouse double-click in the format column), then Copy and, as often as required, Insert. The user clipboard is also retained after the session (Clipboard - Save).
The following is recommended before using Cut&Paste:
