SAP Note 26631 - SD 2.2* : VF04 - confirmation prompt when saving

Symptom:

If data is selected on the selection screen when editing the billing due list, and then the pushbutton "Save" is pressed, the billing due list is then edited without giving you a confirmation prompt.

Cause and prerequisites

This function was not provided by SAP up to now.

Solution
The problem is corrected by installing the following repair in the program code.

SAP Note 26629 - Duplicate invoice not checking across companies

Symptom:

According to warning M8108, duplicate invoice checking is based on vendor, document date, reference document no., $ and currency.
However the system does not check across companies, even though it is
the same vendor, in both invoice verification (warning M8108) and
accounts payable (warning F5117).

Cause and prerequisites

Documentation is incorrect.

Solution
The duplicate invoice check is based on company also. In the
documentation of message M8108, 'Company' should be included as one of
the fields involved in the duplicate check (change via transaction SE61)

SAP Note 26627 - Price PR00 missing for intercompany billing

Symptom:

An intercompany billing document is entered for a delivery which contains an additional item.
1) Although the billing document for this item category is created with a new pricing, price PR00 is missing.
If a new pricing is then carried out on the item condition screen, the price is found.
2) If the business area is determined with the sales organisation (rule 002, table TVTA), this additional item gets the wrong business area. The business area of this item is identical to the business area of the same item in the customer invoice.

Cause and prerequisites

1) The incorrect distribution channel or division is transferred to pricing when creating.
2) The access to table TVTA is done with the organisational data of the customer invoice, und not with the organisational data of the internal sales organsiation.

Solution
Corrected in 2.2G/3.0B

SAP Note 26625 - LDB PSJ: Browser view of subnetworks

Symptom:

Activities for a subnetwork in the Project Information System are displayed on the same level as the network header.

Cause and prerequisites

Although the 'ENTRY_LEVEL' parameter is changed in routine GET_NETZ_FOR_AFVG, it is not transferred to the calling routine because it is defined as VALUE(ENTRY_LEVEL).

Solution

SAP Note 26624 - RPDSYS00 term.: CALL_TRANSACTION_NOT_FOUND " "

Symptom:

If you try using the menu option 'Alternative transaction' within RPDSYS00 to branch into a table (TABL), the program terminates with the runtime error CALL_TRANSACTION_NOT_FOUND " ".

Cause and prerequisites

The possibility of branching into a table using transaction SM31 was removed from RPDSYS00 in Release 3.0; due to a program error, the system carries on trying to call a transaction, but the name of this transaction is blank (" ").

Solution
You should add the program line indicated below to the corresponding Include RPDSY999.

SAP Note 26619 - Tax and NI calculated on -ve Taxable, NIable pay

Symptom:

Tax and NI calculated even when the Taxable pay and NIable pay figures are negative.

Cause and prerequisites

The tax and NI routines should not even be called when this occurs

Solution
Ensure they are not called when negative gross values
In the case of tax the following rules have been incorporated.
If PAYE is calculated on a cumulative basis then tax should be
calculated and a refund made. In the test PAYE is on a week1/month1
basis and calculating positive deduction. Rules therefore are.
1) In a week1/month1 basis no tax deducted or refunded when taxable pay for the period is negative.
2) In cumulative basis if positive taxable pay year to date is reduced by a negative period taxable pay, and total for year is still positive, then PAYE fires and tax is refunded.
3) If a negative taxable pay is for the whole of tax year then fatal error and employee rejected.

SAP Note 26609 - Incorrect requirements for returns in basic order

Symptom:

If a returns item is entered in a normal sales order, for example with order type TO, in addition to the items to be delivered, then a requirement is posted by the delivery as an outward stock movement for this returns item, which, of course, is incorrect.

Cause and prerequisites

This case was not taken into account.

SAP Note 26601 - Reorder point is greater than maximum stock level

Symptom:

When maintaining material master records, you can enter a greater value in the "Reorder point" field than in the "Maximum stock level" field. However, this makes no sense since the maximum stock level of a plant may not be exceeded.

Cause and prerequisites

Until now, no check was made whether the reorder point is at most equal to the maximum stock level.

Solution
A corresponding check has been included in both Release 2.2G and Release 3.0B.

SAP Note 26598 - Message: Work center is still being used

Symptom:

When you delete a work center, message CR002 is displayed:
"Work center & in plant & is still being used".

Cause and prerequisites

Before the work center is deleted, a check is made whether the work center is still being used in the system. This check also takes into account whether objects (for example, operations in routing) were possibly only deleted logically (key word deletion indicator or deletion flag).
Before the work center can be deleted, these logically deleted objects first have to be deleted physically in the database by means of a reorganization of the objects in question.
The check refers to the following objects:

  • Operations and suboperations in routings
  • Order operations
  • Backflushing
  • Task list headers (Plant Maintenance)
  • Equipment time segment and main work center (Plant Maintenance)
  • Functional location (Plant Maintenance)
  • Maintenance items (Plant Maintenance).


The usage as reference in hierarchies and the usage of the capacities defined in the work center in capacity requirements is checked as well.

Solution
The objects in which the work center is still being used must be deleted physically in the database, if necessary, by means of a reorganization.

SAP Note 26597 - CZ141: Entry is too long

Symptom:

Symptom:

Capacity requirements planning for process order: Dispatching an operation with phases on the planning board leads to the following message in the planning log:
'No capacity requirements record found for the operation'

Cause and prerequisites

The operation has more than one phase. At least one of the phases has no capacity requirements (for example, because of a corresponding control key) and at least one of the phases has capacity requirements.

SAP Note 26595 - Depr. before depr. start date for net bk value roun.

Symptom:

During the acquisition to a fixed asset with depreciation start date in the following year, the depreciation is already planned and posted in the acquisition year, to round off the net book value for the year-end closing according to the number of characters specified in the depreciation area for the company code.
Since no true depreciation is calculated yet, it is only possible to round down the net book value, since a negative depreciation would result if it were rounded up. Therefore, decimal amounts over 0.50 are kept.
You can set the depreciation start date in the following year, for example, when you use a depreciation calculation key with the following period controls:
08 (= by year-end = start date in the following year) or
11 (= following month) or
12 (= subsequent quarter).

Other terms

T093B-RUNDEN, T090-PERBZU, OAEC, AW01

Reason and Prerequisites

The rule for rounding off the net book value has priority over the depreciation start date rule.

Solution
In Customizing, for the relevant depreciation area and company code, maintain the setting that ensures that no rounding occurs.
Rounding off the net book values is only useful if it is used for all fixed assets of a company code, so that the entire book value of the fixed assets is rounded off according to the specified number of characters.
If you want to calculate the depreciation for certain fixed assets or depreciation keys without roundoff, you can generally deactivate the roundoff for all fixed assets of the company code.

SAP Note 26594 - Terminat. when maintain. the quality info record

Symptom:

Whenever you create (QI01), maintain (QI02) or display (QI03) the Q-information record you are on the 'Inspection control' screen. If you choose function F4 on the 'Inspection type incoming inspection' field, an abnormal termination occurs: 'Missing parameter for CALL FUNCTION'

SAP Note 26592 - Value on moving average price basis

Symptom:

When maintaining a material master record, you enter a price unit on the Accounting screen or Costing screen.
The system thereupon calculates the value on the basis of the moving average price (field MBEW-SALKV) without taking the price unit into account.
This can result in the moving average price being calculated incorrectly in the case of goods movements for materials with standard price as the price control.

SAP Note 26589 - KI249 in preliminary posting

Symptom:

If documents are posted in preliminary posting, the system issues a message informing you that double-account assignments are not allowed (KI249).

Cause and prerequisites

A default account assignment (for example, a cost center) is defined for the cost element. In preliminary entry, the user cancels the default account assignment (cost center = blank) and specifies a project account assignment. During posting, the cost center is again proposed through the default account assignment and at the same time the project account assignment is transferred.

Solution
You can use the following repair to prevent default account assignments being proposed again during posting (FBV0). However you must comply strictly with the following:

This repair may only be made if fields are not hidden (for example, profit center) and if these fields are to be supplied through the posting transaction by means of the default account assignments. Otherwise these fields would contain no data in the accounting document.

SAP Note 26586 - Line item: Double values or missing values

Symptom:

Message 1: Values are displayed twice. This becomes obvious if the same document number with the same item is repeatedly displayed.
Message 2: line items are misssing

Cause and prerequisites

ad message 1:

  • Here groups are used for which the unambiguity check was deactivated. This can actually only be done in the set maintenance (transactions: GS01, GS02). These ambiguous groups were not supported so far.
    However, it should generally always be checked whether these ambiguous groups are required. You can, for example, work with several logical lines in a Report Writer report and thus separate the debits and credits of certain cost elements.

ad message 2:
Cause: Note 25501 implemented in advance or program error in maintenance level 2.2F.

Preconditions

  • Only transactions KSB1, KSB2 are affected.
  • For Releases 2.2A-2.2E, note 25501 must be active
  • In 2.2F, the error only occurs in the transactions KSB1 and KSB2
  • A cost center group was used
Solution

ad message 1

  • As of 2.1M or 2.2G or 3.0B, this is also supported in the standard system. Until then, you can make the following correction for urgent cases. This does not require any further actions.

SAP Note 26584 - No transfer order for the delivery (LT03)

Symptom:

You cannot create a transfer order for the delivery (transaction LT03). The note 'No items to be picked were found' is displayed.

Cause and prerequisites

The delivery items are not relevant to WM, that is, the WM status is not set to ACTIVE for the respective items although they are to be picked with WM means.
This problem can occur both during integrated and decentralized processing.

Solution

As long as the WM status is not set to active in the delivery item, it cannot be processed in WM. The WM status cannot be set for the following reasons:

  • No storage location in the delivery item - you have to enter the storage location.
  • The storage location entered in the delivery item must be relevant to WM. In WM Customizing Interfaces --> Inventory management --> Plant assignment, you have to assign the storage location and plant to a WM warehouse number.
  • The MM movement type is not set in the delivery item (check via debugging in the 'Display delivery item' whether it needs to be set: Field -> LIPS-BWART ). If it is not set, you have to maintain the movement type determination in SD. Proceed as follows (Sales/distribution Customizing):
    • Transactions -> Deliveries -> ItemCatDetermination: Here you have to check the item category in dependency of the delivery type and item category group from the material master.
    • Transactions -> Sales documents -> Sales document types -> Schedule line categ. -> Assign: Here you have to determine the schedule line category in dependency of the item category and MRP type from the material master.
    • Transactions -> Sales documents -> Sales document types -> Schedule line categ.: Here you have to check the schedule line category determined above whether the movement type has been defined.

SAP Note 26577 - Asset transf.: AA698 (T_ANLB not equal to T_ANEP)

Symptom:

For a transfer with transaction type 300 (transfer of asset data from previous years) from a fixed asset onto which only current acquisition from the same fiscal year has been posted, to a fixed asset for which more depreciation areas are active than on the issuing asset, error message AA698 is issued:
SYST: Abnormal termination in SAPLAFAR ( T_ANLB not equal to T_ANEP )

Cause and prerequisites

Program error (internal table XANEP set up incorrectly.)

SAP Note 26575 - Variable lists: Termination when pressing F4

Symptom:

The variables lists / object overviews terminate when you press the F4 possible entries pushbutton.

Cause and prerequisites

If the field you have selected with the cursor has no DDIC reference, the help module processes a termination.

Solution
If the field you have selected with the cursor has no DDIC reference, you must not call the help function module.
Instead, a message must be issued in this case.

SAP Note 26573 - PARAMETER/SELECT-OPTIONS with SPA/GPA

Symptom:

Up to and including 3.0A:
If a parameter or a select option was assigned an SPA/GPA ID by adding ... MEMORY ID abc, then this was active during background processing and for a selection screen processed in the background. As a consequence, the value from the SPA/GPA memory is taken (even for initial values transferred explicitly during the SUBMIT) without the user being able to see this. The effect is particularly unpleasant in the case of background processing: if the report was scheduled here twice within the same job (and a value not equal to the initial value was transferred the first time, but the initial value was transferred the second time), the value from the first step was taken for both the first AND the second step.
As of 3.0B:
SPA/GPA handling is deactivated on the selection screens in the case of a selection screen processed in the background and in background processing. The above problems no longer occur. However, all of the programs which transferred parameters using SPA/GPA (instead of transferring them explicitly during the SUBMIT) run into difficulties.

As of Release 4.0:
In the variant maintenance, SPA/GPA handling can be deactivated for a parameter or a select option.

From 4.0 to 4.5 (and after implementing the advance correction specified in Note 74501 also in 3.1H/I):
The following occurs:
You get a variant on the selection screen. You overwrite a field supplied with a memory ID (parameter or LOW field of a select option) with an initial value. After pressing enter, the old value from the SPA-/GPA memory is there again.

4.6A to 4.6C: You overwrite a field, which has a memory ID (parameter
field or LOW field of a selection option) by using the initial value.
After ENTER, the system displays the old value from the SPA-/GPA memory.
This makes it necessary to delete all these values twice. The problem
only occurs, if you start the program using a variant.

Cause and prerequisites

The cause and prerequisites are known.

Solution
There is a correction for Release 3.0B for the problem described at
the beginning.

The problem described under 4.0 to 4.5 is corrected by a kernel
patch.
Text: "Correct handling of flag NOGPA".

Resulting problems are eliminated by an additional kernel patch (text: "SPA handling on selection screens").
For Release 3.1H/I: If the preliminary correction given in Note 74501 was implemented, you must check whether this implementation was complete, because the preliminary correction has been extended in the meantime.

Make a correction to solve the 4.6 problem. You can make an advance
correction.

SAP Note 26565 - Requirements for MRP-rel. delivery block too high

Symptom:

Incorrect predecessor requirement after dynamic credit limit check:
A quotation item is copied into a sales order, and then both the preceding document and the subsequent document have created MRP records. The dynamic credit limit check blocks the sales order and resets all the confirmed quantities (also the respective MRP records). Quotation requirement results in the full amount.
Predecessor requirement is not set up when deleting the subsequent item. The subsequent item was blocked in the document header for the delivery ( with relevance to MRP) or had a dynamic credit limit block.

Cause and prerequisites

SAP Note 26564 - IDoc: Can status values be defined?

Symptom:

Can the customer define status values for the IDoc Interface?

Other terms

Table TEDS1, view V_STACUST
Transaction WE47

Reason and Prerequisites

You want to confirm specific information about processing an IDoc to the SAP System.

Solution

The definition of separate status values is a modification and harms the concept of the status values.Separate status values must not be created as a result.
Specific information for a status value (processing milestone reached like statuses) can be transmitted in the STACOD, STATXT, STAPA1, STAPA2, STAPA3, SATPA4 and STATYP fields.If the status record is used in Version 3 (as of Release 4.0), the STACOD field is split into the three fields (STAMQU, STAMID and STAMNO). A status value can also be sent repeatedly so that as much detailed information as desired can be transferred.
There are two possible procedures:

    1. Detailed information is stored in the T100 table.

Define a message for all of the detailed information in the T100 table.Then in the EDI subsystem, fill the STACOD field with 'SAP' (or STAMQU = SAP, STAMID = and STAMNO = ).

You can then access the detailed information in the IDoc display of the status records.The information is language-dependent and is displayed with a long text which supports all hypertext functions.

    2. Detailed information with EDI subsystem source codes.

You can occupy the first three characters in the STACOD field with a fixed prefix. You can then transfer any EDI subsystem source codes to the five remaining characters (or STAMQU < > SAP).

You can implement your own function module which transfers the format of this source code to the IDoc display of the status records.The function module is communicated to the IDoc Interface with transaction WE43.

SAP Note 26552 - Calculation key NA0 with incorrect base value

Symptom:

The American calculation key NA0 (ALTMIN Tax, wiht declining balance of 15%) was delivered with the incorrect base value 'Acquisition value' (01). Declining balance keys can only calculate correctly with the base value 'Net book value' (24).

Cause and prerequisites

Incorrect delivery

Solution
Advance correction: You can also use key M150 instead of NA0 which delivers the same result.
Change the base value on the detail screen of the calculation key NA0 to '24' with transaction AX01 and save it afterwards.

SAP Note 26550 - Doc.archiving: User exit without test run spec.

Symptom:

A user exit has been set up for document archiving. However, a production run and a test run cannot be distinguished between when the deletion program is started manually.

Cause and prerequisites

Up to now it was not possible to start the program manually and to supply the user exit with test run/restart flag.
Note: This problem does not persist if you start archiving in the normal way using SAPF040 or SAPF048, since here, in the test case, the deletion program is not called up and the user exit is consequently not processed. The user exit can only not distinguish between a production run and a test run in the case of a restart.

Solution
As of 3.0.b: I_TESTRUN and I_RESTART are transferred to the user exit as parameters and from these it is clear which type of run is involved (correction P30K015141).
Up to and including 3.0.a: A change to the user exit interface is too costly. Instead, the following program change should be made in SAPF040D or SAPF048D. It is not possible and in general not necessary to take the restart flag into consideration here.

Additional key words

Up to and including 2.2: SAPF040, SAPF040D, EXIT_SAPFF040_001, SAPFF040

SAP Note 26549 - KSH3: Value set of the node is not explicit

Symptom:

When calling transaction KSH3 for displaying a cost center group which belongs to the standard cost center hierarchy of a controlling area, error message K0127 "Set of values of node & not explicit" appears (in a dialog box).
The cost center hierarchy contains the same cost center repeatedly in the bottom nodes. If you display these bottom nodes directly with transaction KSH3, they contain other cost centers than in the display of the whole hierarchy.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error.
The error only occurs together with a formal defect in the bottom nodes of the cost center hierarchy. Before Release 3.0, this defect did not cause any errors.

Solution

Three measures are necessary.

  • 1. Correction in program LGSACF03, see 'source code corrections'.
  • 2. Correction of the defective cost center groups with the following
    program (create and execute with transaction SE38):
    REPORT ZZRGSCOR.

    TABLES: T800S, T803J.

    UPDATE T803J
    CLIENT SPECIFIED
    SET STATUS = '40'
    WHERE STATUS < '40'.

    UPDATE T800S
    CLIENT SPECIFIED
    SET UPDFLAG = 'U'
    WHERE UPDFLAG <> 'U'
    AND TYPE IN ('M','S').
  • 3. In all clients which have defective cost center groups and in
    which validations or substitutions are used, you must execute
    report RGUGBR00. On the selection screen of RGUGBR00, select
    all application fields and application times and only mark
    'Generate sets'.

Solution


Format conversion
Format conversion enables you to allocate paragraph and character formats in source and target text to each other and to rename them when the formatted texts are being converted. To start processing, call up transaction SE74 (format conversion). You will find this transaction as a menu option everywhere in the word processing environment in the system.

Caution:
In Releases 2.1 and 2.2, format conversion was still controlled via tables TTDCF and TTDCW. If you have already worked with the older format conversion, you should change to the new Release 3.0 procedure. To do this, start report RSTXDUMS once and once only. This report gives all of the old conversions a new form so that they can be edited using transaction SE74 (format conversion).

    1. Style sheets and document templates
      a) Word 5.5 for DOS or OS/2

Character and paragraph styles (formats) can be defined in what is known as a style sheet (*.sty). They are identified by means of a "key code" (a two-digit key), and some of them by means of predefined descriptions such as "structure 1".

      b) Winword 2.0

In the "document template" (*.dot), "styles" can be defined for paragraph formats. The names of these styles can now (unlike in Word 5.5) be more than two characters long.

      c) Winword 6.0 or higher

In addition to the features available in 2. 0, it is also possible to determine styles for font styles (character formats) in Word 6.0.

    2. Styles and layout sets in SAPscript

Paragraph and character formats are defined in styles and layout sets. To ensure that a text can be output in formatted form, you must assign it a layout set. Sometimes, the text may already have been given a style as well. In this case, the formats that exist in the style are used, otherwise the formats of the layout set are used. The format tags are two-digit keys.

    3. Maintenance of format conversions
      a) Import of RTF files

When RTF files are imported, the styles of a document template must be represented as the character and paragraph formats of a SAPscript style or layout set. The maintenance of these conversions is split into paragraph formats (screen after initial screen) and character formats. Exactly one paragraph style can be linked with exactly one SAPscript paragraph tag; on the other hand, one character style can be linked with up to four SAPscript character tags.

Example: The style "Combi" might contain the character formatting for bold and italics. The SAPscript style might contain only the formats "ZB" (Bold) and "ZI" (Italics). In conversion maintenance, you should in this case define a conversion from Combi to ZB and ZI.

Please note the special RTF descriptions that correspond to the standard Word descriptions (for example, "heading 1", "annotation text" etc.) and also the RTF notation of foreign characters, such as French accents or German 'umlauts'! The following characters should never be used in the names of styles: '\', '{', '}' and ';'. In both cases, import a stylesheet first:

If you have already imported a style sheet (see point 3. c)), the styles will be listed as source formats. However, the SAPscript character or paragraph formats are always proposed as possible entries for the target format.

If a SAPscript paragraph is not assigned to a paragraph format, the SAPscript default paragraph ("* " ) is used. If a target format is not defined for a character style, this style is not processed.

      b) Export of RTF files

If you export a SAPscript text without specifying a document template, a document template is generated from the style and layout set information. There are two possibilities when you specify a document template:

  • A style sheet prototype (see point 3.c)) exists in the system

    The resulting RTF file is given this style sheet as a leader. This means that the original Winword styles described in this style sheet are used for formatting. In format conversion, you will see a list of all paragraph or characterformats from the style or layout set. In the field 'Target format', enter the name of the required style. A possible entries function with all styles from the style sheet is available to help you here.
  • A style sheet prototype does not exist in the system

    Here, you merely rename and enter values for the formats in format conversion. A style sheet is generated with format definitions from the style or layout set for the RTF file. Here, only the names of the styles can differ from the original tags and, for example, different SAPscript formats can be linked with one single Word style.

    In the column 'Source format', you will see a complete list of all paragraph or character formats from the style or layout set. In the column 'Target format', enter the name that this format is to have in the Word text.

    You may have used outline paragraphs in SAPscript. To inform Word that a paragraph is, say, a header of level 2, make sure that the description "Heading 2" is in the RTF file for this format (you can find the standard RTF descriptions under the menu option Environment -> RTF descriptions). Enter "heading 2" in the field 'Target format' in paragraph format conversion.

    The column 'dominant' is used to analyze the formats. Below is a short example of what this means.
    You have, say, two character formats: Z1 and Z2 (Z1 means bold, Z2 underlined). In Word, however, you do not want to have any more characters underlined, but want to use a uniform format "highlighted" instead. In this case, enter the following in format conversion: ------------------------------------------
    | Source format | Target format | dominant |
    -----------------------------------------------
    | Z1 | highlighted | X |
    | Z2 | highlighted | |
    -----------------------------------------------
      a) Word document templates (prototypes)

RTF descriptions of Word document templates already in R/3 are intended for the conversion of SAPscript formats into the formats of an existing document. For example, Word uses the document template abc.dot. This template should also be used for texts converted from SAPscript. To do this, you must store a Word text linked with the document template abc.dot as an RTF file, for example, as xyz.rtf. In format conversion itself, enter the name abc.dot and then carry out the action "Import" (function key). In the subsequent screen, you must enter the name of the RTF file (in our case xyz.rtf). Once the transfer has taken place, the style sheet part of the RTF file is now available for format conversions.

      b) Format conversion in SAPscript texts

Situation: Text ABC was formatted up to now with STYLE1 and LAYOUTSET1. Now, it should only be assigned LAYOUTSET2.

In the format conversion of SAPscript texts, the relevant paragraph and character formats are compared against each other. In the above case, the formats in STYLE1 are compared against the formats in LAYOUT2. Just an for the import of RTF files, up to four target formats can be assigned to one character format.

This format conversion between SAPscript texts can be started in the editor under the menu option "Format -> Convert..." or via the function module "EXCHANGE_ITF".

    4. Transport of conversions and style sheet prototypes

Conversions and style sheet prototypes are stored in client 00 as SAPscript text, language D, and can be transported using the mechanisms provided for SAPscript objects. To do this, create a transport request in client 00 (either manually or by using report RSTXTRAN) and release the transport.

Caution:
Format conversions and style sheet prototypes are client-independent!

      a) Transport of format conversions

Format conversions are SAPscript texts with the text object STYLESHEET and the text ID ABB.

The text name is 34 characters long:

Character 1: Type of source format:
S for style, F for layout set or D for document template
Characters 2 to 17: Source format name (as specified in the initial screen of format conversion)
Character 18: Type of target format:
S for style, F for layout set or D for document template
Characters 19 to 34: Target format name (as specified in the initial screen of format conversion)
These texts are stored in client 00, language D.

The entry in the transport request should look as follows:
R3TR | TEXT | ,,,

Example:
You want to transport the format conversion of layout set ABC into the document template xyz.dot into another system. You create a transport request with the following entry:

R3TR | TEXT | STYLESHEET,FABC-------------Dxyz. dot,ABB,D

(the minus signs in this example stand for blanks in the text name)
Alternatively, you can also execute report RSTXTRAN, and then choose the texts that you want to transport.

      b) Transport of style sheet prototypes

Style sheet prototypes are SAPscript texts with the text object STYLESHEET and the text ID RTF. They are also stored in client 00, language D. The text name corresponds to the prototype name.

Example:
You want to transport the style sheet prototype "xyz.dot" into another system. The entry in the transport request looks as follows:
R3TR | TEXT | STYLESHEET,xyz.dot,RTF,D

SAP Note 26526 - Conversion of SAPscript texts, Release 3.0

Symptom:

Which conversion programs (both directions) are available for SAPscript texts? How are these conversions built into the R/3 system?

Other terms

SAPscript, Conversion, Format conversion, ITF, RTF, ASCII

Reason and Prerequisites

This note is not an error note, but merely an overview of the filters available in SAPscript and how they are built into Release 3.0 and higher.

Solution

SAPscript texts are stored in Interchange Text Format (ITF). SAPscript also provides conversion programs for the text file formats Rich Text (RTF) and ASCII.
RTF files contain the entire formatting information of a text and can be both interpreted and also generated by all the common word processing packages.
In ASCII files, the text is stored without any formatting information. The only layout element available is the line break. However, different character sets are supported.
The SAPscript editors offer the following functionality:

Transfer of texts in different formats

You can execute the following from within the SAPscript editor:

  • export SAPscript texts into a local file in ITF, RTF or ASCII format
  • import local files in ITF, RTF or ASCII format and insert them as an ITF text at the cursor position.

You can find this function in the editors under:
Text -> Upload... / Text -> Download..., Documentation -> Upload... /Documentation ->Download...
or
Folder -> Upload... / Folder -> Download.....

The result of the individual transfers is as follows:

    1. ITF export (SAPscript text -> local ITF file)

A leader with the text header information is prefixed to the output file. A text header is also constructed from this leader should the file be imported again. Following this is the text just as it is displayed in the editor that is, with all character and paragraph marks, symbols, commands and so on.

    2. ITF import (local ITF file -> SAPscript text):

Both ITF files with a leader (see itm 1.) and those without a leader can be imported. If a header with specifications for style and layout set exists, then the style and the layout set in the text and folder editor are given these values (this does not apply to the documentation editor!).

    3. RTF export (SAPscript text -> local RTF file):

In this case, an RTF file is created where the character and paragraph formatting from the style or the layout set of the original text are (to a large extent) retained.
Variable symbols in the ITF text are replaced. INCLUDEs and control structures are broken up, comments ignored.
If a document template is specified, then a format conversion into this document template is started from the SAPscript format (style or layout set) relevant to the character and paragraph formatting. This format conversion is described in Note 26528.
RTF files can be imported easily into modern word processing packages; in the case of older DOS programs, you will have to carry out some preliminary work first:
For Microsoft Word (as of Version 5.0), the RTF file (plus style sheet) must, for example, be converted into a Word text file using the following command:
For MS-DOS: rtf_dos file1.rtf file2.txt file3.dfv /o/c
or - " - /o/m
For OS/2: rtf_os2 file1.rtf file2.txt file3.dfv /o/c
or - " - /o/m
(/o if file2.txt already exists, then it is overwritten without the user being asked to confirm this
/c style sheet file3.dfv is created again
/m style sheet file3.dfv already exists and might be modified)

    4. RTF import (local RTF file -> SAPscript text):

NB: the source text must have been created with a document template and stored as an RTF file. On the R/3 side, a style or layout set should exist whose character and paragraph formats correspond to those of the document template. The keys of both should be the same. If this is not the case, or if this is not possible because the descriptions in the document reference are different, it is still possible to specify a Format conversion (see Note 26528)
If "style" or "layout set" are specified in the second dialog box, then style and/or layout are set to these values (either with or without format conversion) in the text editor and folder editor.

    5. ASCII export (SAPscript text -> local ASCII file):

All the formatting in the ITF text (with the exception of line feeds and tabs) is removed. The pure ASCII text is transferred exactly as it would appear in printed form (only content of text!). The only formatting possible is provided by the parameter "Line width". Variable symbols are replaced, INCLUDEs and control structures removed.

The ITF text can be converted into any character set that is maintained in spool management (SPAD).

    6. ASCII import (local ASCII file --> SAPscript text):

Any ASCII file can be uploaded into the SAPscript editor. The character set of this file (i.e. its number in spool management (SPAD)) should be specified; data is then converted into the character set of the system.



Function modules for this environment

The following function modules are documented:

  • IMPORT_TEXT:
    Upload of local file + conversion
  • EXPORT_TEXT:
    Conversion + download to local file
  • TRANSFER_TEXT:
    IMPORT_TEXT + EXPORT_TEXT + dynpros, that is exactly what is shown in the editors
  • CONVERT_TEXT (up to Basis Release 4.6D; afterwards, the function module must be replaced by one of the following):
    Mere conversion of text formats; not ITF-->ITF!
  • CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII (as of Basis Release 6.10):
    Conversion from ITF to ASCII
  • CONVERT_ITF_TO_RTF (as of Basis Release 6.10):
    Conversion from ITF to RTF
  • CONVERT_ASCII_TO_ITF (as of Basis Release 6.10):
    Conversion from ASCII to ITF
CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF (as of Basis Release 6.10):
Conversion from RTF to ITF

SAP Note 26521 - Country version (RSCICO02) terminates (TK428)

Symptom:

The program for setting up country version RSCICO02 terminates and message TK428 'Table AUFK is not part of the customizing object COAS'.

Cause and prerequisites

This problem only arises if the program of the country version is not started in simulation mode and if an order number is required.
Due to a tightening of the checks on transport objects, the change in table AUFK cannot be entered in the order specified via view COAS.

Solution
Changes in program code.

SAP Note 26520 - Problems with user-defined matchcodes for SAPF020

Symptom:

Document posting (in background input or manual mode) terminates abnormally and the following or similar message is output: "Tuple in MC table xyz exists for an INS operation", where table xyz represents a user-defined matchcode table. OR
This error results when reloading document data after archiving.
When a check is run on table xyz it turns out that this table contains a record which does not have a corresponding record in the BSEG.

Cause and prerequisites

Transaction data deletion program SAPF020 or document archiving and its deletion program SAPF040D (up to and incl. 2.2) or SAPF048D (as of 3.0) were started at an earlier point in time. Furthermore, a number of fields were added to table BSEG and matchcodes (ID 9, synchronous) were entered for these fields.
Up to and including Release 3.0a a cluster deletion was always attempted if tables BSEG, BSET, BSED and BSEC had been stored in cluster RFBLG. However, a cluster deletion skips the matchcodes and does not update them.

Solution
As of 3.0.b.: In these cases program SAPF020 or SAPF048D must be started with option 'Cluster deletion off'
Up to and including 3.0.a: After program SAPF020 has run, the user-defined matchcode objects are reset manually by means of program SAPMACO. Then: Program code repair and set 'Cluster deletion off' for the next run.

SAP Note 26516 - AM Report.: Balance sheet item SPACE or '?????????'

Symptom:

If lists are created in AM Reporting using a sort version which contained a balance sheet item, and if this balance sheet item could not be determined, the report outputs control levels both with balance sheet item SPACE (blank) and with balance sheet item '??????????'.
This creates unnecessary control breaks.

Cause and prerequisites

13.7.11

SAP Note 26511 - Dep. start date is not set, no depreciation

Symptom:

If you post to an asset using only transaction types that do not result in automatic capitalization, then no depreciation is calculated for the asset, even after manual capitalization. In these cases, the depreciation start date is not set either.
If the depreciation start date is to be set via the master data function, especially using the 'Determine depreciation start' function, or if it is supposed to take place automatically based on the capitalization date during old data takeover, then the depreciation start date is still not set.
In particular, the start date is set to the initial date when the depreciation start date is changed in the asset master record.

Cause and prerequisites

The 'Capitalization' indicator is not set in the default transaction type for 'Purchase acquisition'. In the standard system this default transaction type is transaction type 100.

Solution
If this indicator in the transaction type was removed by mistake, reset it. Then run a recalculation (program RAAFAR00). The recalculation will correct the assets, if the error occurred in an open fiscal year.
However, if the indicator was removed so that capitalization always has to be entered manually, then you have to install the following advance correction. After installing the correction, you also have to carry out a recalculation for the assets concerned.

SAP Note 26509 - Line items: Selection criteria in the list header

Symptom:

Message: Fields from the initial screen are to be shown in the header of the list.

Cause and prerequisites

At present only 3 lines are available in the standard system. Therefore, fields from the initial screen are no longer repeated. Exception: The object, such as the cost center, is displayed with its text.

Planning: In later release it should be possible to output a cover sheet on which the fields of the initial screen are repeated.
As of releases > 3.0, the line-item report is to be replaced by a flexible tool with which the customer can also lay out the list header himself.

Solution
Do without this function. In case of an emergency, the following modification can solve the problem.
Please note that this guideline was created by SAP. However, the customer takes on the responsibility, in particular for release upgrades.
No warranty is given for upward compatibility.

SAP Note 26502 - Read accesses to COSP, COSS under ADABAS or MSSQL

Symptom:

Under ADABAS or MSSQL, read accesses to the tables COSP and COSS can take a long time. The performance of many CO transactions (such as allocations, overhead calculation, or settlement) and of reporting is poor.
Under certain conditions, when the above tables are accessed records are not found even though they are on the database. This of course has fatal effects in the various transactions. For example, in activity price determination the cost centers that are planned still show a value of zero.

Cause and prerequisites

Inappropriate database selection / ADABAS or MSSQL error

SAP Note 26482 - Selecting by posting date instd of asset value date

Symptom:

The asset value date is the deciding date in Asset Accounting, and not the FI posting date. The asset value date determines the selection of line items in reporting, the calculation of depreciation (RABUCH00), and proportional values. The use of the asset value date can lead to problems in reconciling FI and AM if the asset value date and FI posting date are in different periods. The statement on selection during a RABUCH run is only valid if the 'Catch-up method' is activated in the depreciation posting run. With 'Smoothing', the planned depreciation is distributed to the still open posting periods for which the depreciation is planned, independent of the posting date or the reference date of the transaction.

Cause and prerequisites

Missing functionality

Solution
The correction is included as standard as of Release 2.2G and does not need to be installed for releases after 2.2G.
The correction is included as standard as of Release 3.0B, and must be installed in 3.0 releases up to 3.0A.
It is not possible to provide an advance correction on SAPSERV3. The program change has to be tested extensively in a test sytem.

For 2.2 and 3.0, install the advance corrections below.
Before installing the CODING, create view V_ANEPBU (using SE11).
Create the view as a database view.
(delivery class: BLANK, maintenance status: R). development class: AC
The view contains the table ANEP as primary table, and the table ANEK as secondary table.
Please note: You should create the relationship between ANEK and ANEP using the field LNRAN and NOT the field AUGLN.
As view fields, create all of the fields in table ANEP, as well as the field
MONAT in table ANEK. You can create the view fields with the same names as the table fields.
After creating the view in the Dictionary, you also have to create the view in the database with the database utility (SE14).

After you install the correction, you also have to start the program ZZANEKRP, which is located at the final position in the coding block. This program recognizes and corrects ANEK posting periods that are not set.

**********************************************************************
------------------------< d019144 26/OCT/95 >--------------------------
Please note that the tablespaces PSAPES300D and PSAPEL300D may NOT be
empty after the upgrade from 3.0 FCS to 3.0A. You cannot therefore
delete the tablespaces as described in the guide (chapter 4,
Subsequent processing activities for the database).

First check whether the tablespaces still contain tables:
1. Log on to the database with sqlplus.
2. Enter the following SQL commands:

SELECT SEGMENT_NAME, SEGMENT_TYPE FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME = 'PSAPES300D';

SELECT SEGMENT_NAME, SEGMENT_TYPE FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME = 'PSAPEL300D';

If table names are displayed for one of the two commands, for example
'T100O TABLE' or 'EUGUITEXT TABLE', you will have to move these tables
before deleting the tablespaces.

To do this use program sapdba (Version 3.0A) as follows:
1. Call sapdba as user ora at operating system level.
2. Select Reorganization --> Reorganize table or index.
3. Enter for example "T1000" or "EUGUITEXT" for the table name.
Under the menu option "Target tablespace" enter the target
tablespace "PSAPDDICD".

Afterwards you can delete the four PSAPE*300 tablespaces as described
in the guide, with the following exception:
Replace the four drop commands with:
drop tablespace PSAPES300D;
drop tablespace PSAPES300I;
drop tablespace PSAPEL300D;
drop tablespace PSAPEL300I;

---------------------------------------------------
To avoid problems when backing up, the following new parameters have to
be inserted into the init.sap profile:

- cpio_in_flags = -iduvB defines the cpio flags for reading
from tape
Caution: If you have changed the standard value for parameter
cpio_flags (= -ovB ), you must adjust the new parameters
appropriately.
Example: cpio_flags = "-ov -C 16384"
cpio_in_flags = "-iv -C 16384"

- uncompress_cmd = "uncompress - c $ > $" defines the uncompress
command
Caution: under Windows NT this parameter has a different value:
uncompress_cmd =
"\\%SAPLOCALHOST%\sapmnt\\SYS\exe\run\uncompress -c $ > $"
(line break is not necessary)
- tape_pos_cmd = "mt -f $ fsf $" defines the tape
positioning command

Caution: under HP-UX the parameter has a different value:
tape_pos_cmd = "mt -t $ fsf $"

under AIX the parameter has a different value:
tape_pos_cmd = "tctl -f $ fsf ape_pos_cmd = "tctl -f $ fsf
$"

------------------------< C1016615 15/NOV/95 >------------------------
SINIX only:
When you click on "CPU" after starting SM50/SM51, the "CPU" time used is
displayed. However many defunct processes, which are generated like
work processes, remain at the operating system level so that after
clicking several times the SINIX resource "MAXUP" is used up.
The only solution at present is:

- not to click on "CPU"
- to afterwards cancel the dialog work process without the core
- restart R/3

SAP Note 26469 - RFCHKN00 - Scheduling and printing via the payment program

Symptom:

You should include the check register (as a list) when scheduling a
payment program run. However, there is no way to maintain the print parametzers.

Cause and prerequisites

The print parameters of the user who schedules the print job will
be used.

Solution
The first option you have is to configure that user's print parameters
so that the printout will be satisfactory.

As of Release 3.0B, you can select the 'list separation required'
parameter in the check register program, in which case the output will be controlled by the print output parameters in the list separation table (see online help on this parameter).
An advance correction in earlier releases is possible.

SAP Note 26466 - VKM4: Credit limit, performance

Symptom:

When you use Transaction VKM4 to select sales documents and deliveries from the credit point of view, long waiting times can occur.

Cause and prerequisites

Under certain circumstances, you need to set up secondary indexes for the database tables VBAK and LIKP.

Solution

The correction in Note 26464 or Release 2.2G or 3.0B is a requirement.
This is caused by missing secondary indices for the database tables VBAK and LIKP.The following contains examples of where the secondary indexes are necessary.

  • All sales documents and deliveries should be selected which are outstanding, authorized or blocked from the point of view of credit and whose next shipping or goods issue date lies in the first half of the month of September 1995.

SAP Note 26460 - Item category determination

Symptom:

If a warning message occurs do to quantity when changing the material of an order item, and then the quantity is changed, the item category can be determined incorrectly.

The error occurs, for example, in the following situation:
Creating an inquiry
Initial situation: The customer wants a certain material, for which the material number is not yet known. This item is entered as a text item: Item category AFTX

Final creation of a quotation which refers to the inquiry. In the quotation, a material is chosen which corresponds to the required product from the inquiry.

The item category is determined again by entering a material number. AGN is normally determined correctly.
A warning message appears after entering a material number:
W: the item category is determined again (everything is still OK)
AGN is determined correctly. ENTER: a warning message appears:
W: Please consider the delivery unit: ...

If a quantity is now changed directly, the item category AGNN is determined afterwards. This should not happen. (AGNN is not allocated to the item category group at all).

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
The error does not occur if the warning message is first confirmed by pressing ENTER.
The error can be corrected by the following repair

SAP Note 26459 - Make-to-order: Results analysis for KMAT materials

Symptom:

It is not possible to perform results analysis on sales order items with materials of material type KMAT.

Cause and prerequisites

In make-to-order production, the inventory and the cost of sales are notposted through goods movements because the materials are managed in a nonvaluated sales order stock. The only way to create postings in FI is to use results analysis (see Note 26456). If the sales order item consists of a material of material type KMAT, results analysis is not possible because no cost estimate exists for this material.

Solution
Results analysis must be performed with a valuation method that uses profit basis C. With this profit basis, the system uses the planned costs of the production orders for the sales order instead of a cost estimate for the KMAT material.
In Release 2.2 a modification is needed for this which is described in Note 25772. In Release 3.0 this function is provided as standard.
From 3.0C onwards the planned costs of the sales order can also be calculated in a product cost estimate for the sales order. You should use profit basis E in this case.
However, if you are using assembly processing with production orders, you can only use profit basis C.

SAP Note 26456 - Order/project settlement to CO-PA and into FI

Symptom:

Values of an order/project should also be posted to Financial Accounting in addition to the settlement of revenues and costs of sales to CO-PA (for example, costs of sales and work in process).

Cause and prerequisites

For make-to-order production, no posting is created in FI for the goods issue (nonvaluated sales order stock). To nevertheless be able to implement a cost-of-sales accounting in FI, it is necessary to post the sales costs.

Solution
1. Customizing of results analysis in product costs controlling
2. Definition of posting rules in Customizing of results analysis for posting the sales costs to FI
3. Activation of the switch Financial accounting in the results analysis version
4. Periodic results analysis of the respective object ( internal order, sales order, project), to calculate sales costs.
5. Periodic settlement of the respective object
This procedure can be used for all data calculated by results analysis to post it to FI.

SAP Note 26455 - NT 3.51 Oracle: Work procs. hang in Reconnect

Symptom:

With NT 3.51, Oracle and R/3 Release <=3.0B, the work processes hang if the database was shut down. The work processes are not completed even if the database is booted again.

Cause and prerequisites

If the Oracle database is shut down in the current R/3 System, a work process receives an error return code from the database (for example ORA1089 or ORA1034) for a database request. Then, the work process is restarted or enters the reconnect status if the parameter rsdb/reco_trials is set (see Note 24806) and tries to reconnect itself to the database. If the database is shut down, the work process hangs when carrying out the Connect statement. The work process is not exited. It hangs even when the database is booted again. The problem was only observed up to now for NT 3.51 and Oracle (not for NT 3.5).
The cause for this behaviour is a bug in Oracle Pro*C 1.6.4. This problem was only solved with Oracle Pro*C 2.2. At the moment it is not quite clear for which Release SAP will introduce Pro*C 2.2. We do not use the Pro*C for the connect anymore as of and including Release 3.0C (instead we use Oracle Call Interface).

Solution
The hanging work processes can be found via transaction SM50. If the database is booted again and logon to the database is possible again, then the hanging work processes can be restarted in SM50 via Cancellation without core> or if this does not work with Cancellation with core>. If the majority of the work processes is affected, we recommend you to restart the R/3 application server.

The hanging of work processes can be avoided by the following work around:
Registry entry: You have to implement with regedt32 for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/ the value "LOCAL" with the string "T::" (for example: LOCAL:REG_SZ:T:pn1234:C11). The disadvantage of this workaround is that all connects to the database go via the TWO-TASK-MODE, that is, also those connects that are already established on the database server and who run high performing via the PIPE-MODE. However, this is no disadvantage in a decantralized system, for example, Unix Database Server and NT Application Server, because the connect to the database server takes place via the TWO-TASK-MODE anyway.

SAP Note 26447 - RV_REPORT_VARIANTE_SEARCH

Symptom:

Function module 'RV_REPORT_VARIANTE_SEARCH'
(searching for a variant for a report) :
In the subroutine 'REPORT_EXISTANCY_CHECK', the program checks (via table TRDIR) whether the report (parameter) exists in the system. The check is carried out with the current client (sy-mandt) against the field TRDIR-RMAND. This field contains the client under which the program in question was created. If the function module is not called in the client in which the report was also created, the exception REPORT_NOT_FOUND is returned although the program exists in the system.

Cause and prerequisites

For operation in multiple clients, client 000 must be the central client. Only the reports from client 000 and the current client should be displayed.

Solution
See the repair.

SAP Note 26445 - OMFV Linking header texts

Symptom:

The following phenomenon occurs when linking the text for request for quotation/quotation, vendor and contract for the purchase order:

Header texts are maintained in several source objects. However, its copying sequence cannot be controlled. The text from the source object which is found first in table T165K is always used.

Cause and prerequisites

Functionality is not (yet) implemented.
The option to specify a copying sequence as for item texts (table T165P) is not (yet) available for header texts.

Solution
Currently none.
This requires the conversion of table T165K.
However, this is only planned for a later release.

Reversal of reconciliation posting
Transactions: KALC , KALS , KAL1
Termination : because function module ENQUEUE_EKCOFIEE is missing

Cause and prerequisites

Transport error:
The termination occurs in the production run (not in the test run) of almost all reconciliation ledger transactions. The reason is that the lock objects EKCOFIEE and EKCOFIES were not transported.

Solution
A preliminary transport of the lock objects must be carried out.
Please see note 13719 for this.
After the import into the customer system has been carried out, you must check (SE37) whether the function modules
ENQUEUE_EKCOFIEE and
ENQUEUE_EKCOFIEE
exist. If this is not the case, the lock objects EKCOFIEE and EKCOFIES must be activated.

SAP Note 26426 - Incorrect postings: Stocks are repeatedly debited

Symptom:

Under certain circumstances, it is possible that negative stocks are posted in the system although this is unwanted.
An example is the withdrawal of components for a run schedule header.
Providing you do not exit the run schedule header transaction after posting the withdrawal and you are using the same components again in the next document that is posted, then the material master is not read for these components. This leads to incorrect data which is then used for the computation of quantities.

Cause and prerequisites

SAP Note 26420 - brbackup runtimes longer after OS upgrade

Symptom:

brbackup runtimes are longer after the OS upgrade from DEC UNIX 2.x to 3.2x.

Cause and prerequisites

This is caused by a new cpio.

Solution
The cpio installed in the system under OSF 3.2 has a different saving structure. If you look at the cpio in /usr/bin or /sbin, you can see that the cpio, tar and pax have the same inode. This is a single program which internally processes the 3 different tools, distributed in 2 directories (once with libraries and once without).
The "old" cpio which is installed on the system or which must be installed can help here.
To do this, you have to install the following subset (all the following commands are performed as the user root). # setld -i |grep OBSOLETE
OSFOBSOLETE3n0 installed Obsolete Commands and Utilities (System
If this subset is installed , you can find the "old" cpio in /usr/opt/sterling/usr/bin or /usr/opt/sterling/sbin.
The "old" tar can also be found here.
Now move the "new" cpio and tar for security. # mv /usr/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar.newer
# mv /usr/bin/cpio /usr/bin/cpio.newer
(pax can stay where it is).
Now copy the "old" cpio and tar into here # cd /usr/opt/sterling/usr/bin
# cp tar cpio /usr/bin
# cd /usr/opt/sterling/sbin
# cp tar cpio /sbin
Afterwards, the brbackup should run with the same time as before.
PS:
If the subset specified above is not installed, you can install it at any time. For this, you need the DEC UNIX CD for your current operating system (here 3.2n).
Mount the CD as follows. # mount -dr /dev/rz4c /mountpoint_cd (rz4c stands for the CD device)
These subsets can be found in the directory /mountpoint_cd/ALPHA/BASE.
Install the required subset as follows. # setld -l /mountpoint_cd/ALPHA/BASE OSFOBSOLETE3n0
