SAP Note 28000 - Physical inventory: Special stock V and W

Symptom:

You could create a physical inventory document for a customer and a material for special stock V or W, even if no special stock segment for this customer was created for this material.
Now the error message 'Special stock V(W) "CUSTOMER" of this material does not exist' is output.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error

Solution
The error is corrected in 2.1M, 2.2G and 3.0B. You can make the following advance correction by changing the lines indicated below in the source code.

SAP Note 27999 - Repetition of change messages

Symptom:

Change messages (indicator NAST-AENDE is selected) that were created with "Repeat message" are not output.
ME90 or report RSNAST00 generate the following message: 'Messages output' (ME257), but no spool request is created.
For messages with transmission medium EDI, message ME760 is generated.

Cause and prerequisites

It is not possible to repeatedly output change messages because the print program always reads the purchase orders from the database and, of course, cannot determine any changes since the last printing. You can always create a change message, but the decision whether it is printed out is made by the print program. Especially in the case of change messages, all change documents since the last printout are read. And if you repeat the printout without any changes, the system does not find any, of course. However, you can always create a new printout, but then you always have to use the latest database status. Here, no change documents are interpreted. For this reason, you can always print it out.

Solution
For this problem, you can use the optical archiving of outbound documents. In the message type, you can determine whether the document is also to be written to the optical archive during the output. This way, you can display all new and change output at any time and output it again. In this case, however, you should contact your consultant.
Another option is that you repeat the message from the spool system.

SAP Note 27995 - Printing from networks in 3.0

Symptom:

Printout of a graphic in SAP R/3 3.0.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
The following options exist for printing network, hierarchy, cluster or bar graphics in R/3 version 3.0:
1. Choose `local` as the target printer if you have a PC with a local printer.
2. Printing to a Windows Metafile. You must enter a file name. This file can then be imported into Windows applications.
3. R/3 spool. To use this option, you must have a printer with graphics capabilities which is available on the network.
4. Graneda Metafile: This is a graphics exchange format, which is supported by very few applications.
5. The option to print in PostScript format is available for printers which can interpret PostScript commands.
On the one hand, it is possible to enter the name of the print server directly as a file name (check in the Windows print manager). On the other hand, you can print to a file, and then send it to a PostScript printer. Under DOS, this would involve the following command: copy /b
6. If you specify HPGL/2 as the target printer, the graphic can be output to a plotter. The file name should be chosen as described under point 5.

To print on several pages, you must doubleclick on the white field (upper right in the printer setup) that is subdivided by black lines. The number of pages to be printed depends on where you click in this field: the output is made to as many pages as there are red-colored boxes.

SAP Note 27967 - Address printing: Mandatory blank line unwanted

Symptom:

When printing addresses, a mandatory blank line is output between the line for P.O. Box / Street and the line for the city.
This is not required for the current destination country.

Cause and prerequisites

The country-specific formatting routines are coded in the function module ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM.
The formats were set up according to official requirements.
For all countries, with the exception of USA (routine 004), Canada (005), Great Britain / Ireland (006), Switzerland (011) and Austria (014), a mandatory blank line is output between the line for P.O. Box / Street and the line for the city, providing the number of available lines is sufficient.

Solution
As of 3.0C, you can use customer enhancement SZAD0001 in development class SZAD (-> transaction CMOD) to store country-specific formatting routines (for each recipient country) as a Customer Exit (see notes 40485 and also 38922, if necessary).
The following applies up to and including 3.0B:
It is not possible for customers to modify the formatting routines.
If the mandatory blank line should also be left out for other countries, the function module ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM must be modified.
However, this is only a temporary workaround that is generally not recommended.
For Australia, for example, a line would have to be inserted in the program code as follows:

SAP Note 27959 - Route determination: Info VC203 'System error ...'

Symptom:

Transaktion VORF, route determination, detail screen 'weight group route':
Screen shows one or more lines with weight group = blank and a related text <> blank (e.g. 'up to 10 kg'). Pressing a key like or on this screen causes an info message 'System error occurred reading internal table XD0400'. This message might pop up several times.

Cause and prerequisites

Table TVLGT (Routes: Weight Groups for Deliveries: Texts) contains an entry with weight group = blank and text <> blank.
Second possible cause is that table TVROT (Route texts) contains an entry in login-language with route = blank and bezei <> blank.

Solution
Remove entry from table TVLGT or TVROT (e.g. via transaction SM31 or SE16).

SAP Note 27958 - Double-account assignment during external operation

Symptom:

SAP Note 27957 - Export relevancy and transfer to FI

Symptom:

Certain item categories (for example BOM components) should not be relevant for export. However, the billing document cannot be transferred to FI since the export data in the billing document is recognized as incomplete.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
From 2.2G/3.0B, the export relevancy of the billing item is controlled by determining a statistical value with condition type GRWR in the pricing procedure.
Create a requirement for pricing, for example 601, using transaction
VOFM by copying requirement 008.
Change this requirement in such a way that the pricing indicator of the
item is queried.
Assign this requirement to condition type GRWR in the pricing
procedure.
If you now, for example, set the BOM components so that pricing is not carried out, the export data is no longer needed.

SAP Note 27953 - SAPDBA restart: Terminates after successful Exp/Imp

Symptom:

Only in 2.2D (2.1J):
If after an ORA, EXP, or IMP error, the SAPDBA restart option is used, the message "Export/Import not successfully processed" appears after a successful import or export, and processing is terminated.

If the number of errors which occurred is very large (several hundreds or thousands) (for example if during the import the DB is accidentally shutdown -> error messages for each table), this error, that is the termination after the actual successful export or import, can also occur in versions 2.2D to 2.2G and 3.00 to 3.0B.

Cause and prerequisites

SAPDBA incorrectly interprets the error messages that were already already in the log file before the restart as being current.

Solution
Rename the old log, for example .../sapreorg/1234567890.rtc -> 1234567890.rtc.old, before the restart.
SAPDBA then creates a new log 1234567890.rtc when restarting and
registers only the current export/import error messages.
or:
According to note 12741, copy the corrected version of sapdba from sapserv3/4 and redo the restart.
The first case is corrected in 2.2E, the second as of 2.2H and 2.0B.

SAP Note 27922 - Info: Settlement types and quantity settlement

Symptom:

During settlement, it is unclear what the processing type does in the initial screen of the settlement or what the settlement type does in the sender distribution rules. It is also unclear exactly when posted quantities are transferred to the receiver.

Other terms

KO8G, KO88, CJ8G, CJ88, KOB5, CJ70, investment profile, AuC (asset under construction), PER, FUL, SLCSinfo

Solution

In general, you can differentiate between the settlement type in the sender settlement rule and the processing type selected for the settlement.

  • Processing type in the initial screen of the settlement (such as KO88):
    The possible entries are 1 (Automatic), 2 (By Period) and 3 (Partial Capitalization). They determine which distribution rules are selected from the sender master data during the settlement. You can obtain the relevant information from the field help (F1) in the initial settlement screen.
  • Settlement type for a settlement rule in the sender master record:
    The possible entries are PER, FUL and PRE. They determine which periods are settled and how the quantity update is performed.
    It is not possible to manually create or change a distribution rule with the settlement type AUC. During the first settlement, the system automatically generates the rule from the asset under construction that is specified in the master data of the investment measure.
    • PER:
      Settlement rules with settlement type PER are applied only to settlement period debits.

The quantity update occurs as follows:

Release 3.0/3.1:
Activity quantities (and sending cost center/activity type) are generally updated except during settlement on profitability segment. The actual activity price calculation, the elimination of internal business volume and variation calculation in Cost Center Accounting can be performed correctly.
The system updates primary cost elements if these are settled by cost element. If you post different units of measure under one cost type to the sender and the quantity on the order is therefore incomplete, the system does not settle the quantity.

Release 4.0/4.5 and subsequent releases:
Activity quantities (and sending cost center/activity type) are generally updated except during settlement on profitability segment. They are displayed in the CO document in both the total quantity entered field (MBGBTR) and the total quantity field (MEGBTR). The actual activity price calculation, the elimination of internal business volume and variation calculation in Cost Center Accounting can be performed correctly.
In the CO document, the system updates primary cost element quantities in the total quantity entered field (MBGBTR) if these are settled according to the cost element or if the settlement cost element has a unit of measure. Only if the settlement cost element has a unit of measure, the system also fills the field 'Total quantity' (MEGBTR) in the CO document and then fills the quantity in the CO totals record as well. If the sender was posted to using different units of measure under one cost element, and if the quantity on the sender is therefore incomplete, the system settles the incomplete quantity.

    • FUL:
      Settlement rules with settlement type FUL affect the debits that accrued interest in the settlement period and earlier and have not been settled yet.

The following is valid for the quantity update:

Release 3.0/3.1:
The system updates only quantities for primary cost elements that are settled according to the cost element. There is no guarantee that the actual activity price determination, the elimination of internal business volume and the variation calculation will be performed correctly. If the sender was posted to with different units of measure under one cost element and the quantity on the order is therefore incomplete, there is no settlement. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use the settlement type FUL for receiver cost centers.

Release 4.0/4.5 and subsequent releases:
Activity quantities and primary cost element quantities are updated in the total quantity entered field (MBGBTR) in the CO document only if the cost elements for the activity allocation or the primary cost elements are settled according to the cost element or if the settlement cost element has a unit of measure. Only if the settlement cost element has a unit of measure, the system also fills the total quantity field (MEGBTR) in the CO document and then displays a quantity in the CO totals record.
For the settlement of activity quantities, the activity type that was originally performed is not updated on the receiver. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use the settlement type FUL for cost center receivers because the actual activity price determination, the elimination of internal business volume and the variation calculation also require the activity type information.
If the sender was posted to using different units of measure under one cost element, and if the quantity on the sender is therefore incomplete, the system settles the incomplete quantity.

    • PRE:
      Settlement rules with settlement type PRE make it possible to settle debits posted by capital investment measures before the periodic asset under construction accrual to CO receivers. Distribution rules with settlement type PRE have the same technical behavior as FUL. The explanations for settlement type FUL are valid for the quantity update.
Information about the quantity update during settlement into the profitability analysis:

If account-based profitability analysis is used, the logic for updating consumption quantities is the same as described above. For Releases 3.0/3.1, this means that primary cost element quantities are updated into the profitability analysis only if these are settled according to the cost element. Activity quantities cannot be updated. For Releases 4.0/4.5, the system updates primary cost element quantities and activity quantities if these are settled according to the cost element or if the settlement cost element has a unit of measure. If only the quantities for the revenue elements are required in the profitability analysis, then only the revenue elements should be settled according to the cost element because this generates a large amount of data.

If costing-based profitability analysis is used, the logic for updating consumption quantities differs from the general principle described above: To update the consumption quantity into costing-based profitability analysis, the quantity field in the PA transfer structure must be assigned to a value field. This is done in Customizing of the profitability analysis. Furthermore, in Release 3.0/3.1, the quantities must have been updated in all debits for this cost element. That is, the quantity incomplete indicator must not be set in the totals record. In Release 4.0/4.5, this second condition does not apply; the system also settle incomplete quantities. These preconditions are required only to update quantities both of primary and secondary cost elements into costing-based profitability analysis.

The reference to the deal can only be deleted using transaction VK11 in the additional SD data. Afterwards, the condition is also no longer displayed for the sales deals.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
Proceed as follows within the maintenance of the sales deals:
1.) Conditions: set the deletion flag
2.) Additional SD data: The reference to the sales deal need only be deleted if the condition is to be maintained again/differently.
Only the reference can be deleted. A link to another sales promotion must not be produced
3.) Save

SAP Note 27881 - Cost center in GR/IR clearing line

Symptom:

Question: For an invoice receipt in the GR/IR clearing item, why is the CO account assignment object (for example, the cost center or the order) set, and why is the consumption account additionally stored in the BSEG-SAKNR field?

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
Up to and including Release 2.2, this information is needed for purchase order processing with valuated goods receipt, in order to create a document with reference to the CO invoice, particularly if the invoiced amount corresponds to the amount from the purchase order and, therefore, no posting is made to the invoice receipt consumption account. The information in CO about the CO account assignment object and the usage cost element is taken from the GR/IR clearing item and a line item is created for this account assignment object and the usage cost element with value and quantity set at zero. This document is used to validate the expense account for external services during auditing.
As of Release 3.0, this validation is carried out differently, for the purchase order number is now written in the CO line item. This enables you to determine all expense accounts for an external service by calling up the purchase order history.

SAP Note 27880 - RFBIBL00: Structure ZBSEG cannot be created

Symptom:

For the report RFBIBL00, the customer-specific structure ZBSEG should be used. ZBSEG indeed does not exist in the Data Dictionary, but it cannot be created since a TADIR entry already exists.

Cause and prerequisites

Delivery of a TADIR- and a TDKZ entry

Solution
  • Delete the entry TABL ZBSEG in table TDKZ using SM31.
  • AN SAP employee must create and execute the report RFBICoR0 from P30 at the customer. The report is then to be deleted again at the customer.

SAP Note 27877 - Schedule line number display is incorrect

Symptom:

SAP Note 27876 - Planning time fence (man.firming/display/segments)

Symptom:

      a) Materials planning for a material with planning time fence and fixing type category '3' or '4' (manual fixing type):

The end of the planning time fence does not only refer to the value defined in the material master. For existing predefined inputs whose date is after the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is set to the most distant date of input.
This is not described in the documentation for Release 2.2.

      b) The following error occurred up to and including Release 2.2G or 3.0A:

In the MRP list (MD05), with firming type '3' or '4', the end of the planning time fence is always set to the date of the last firmed receipt. This is then incorrect if the last firmed receipt lies before the end of the PTF from the material master record. If no firmed receipt is available, the end of the PTF was not displayed at all.

      c) The planning time fence always refers to the net or gross segment. Nevertheless, up until, and including Release 2.2G, the end of the planning time fence was often displayed in another segment.
      d) The planning time fence always refers to the net or the gross segment. Therefore, when reading the MRP elements, the system ignores the planning time fence in all other segments of the MRP list irrespective of the MRP procedure.
      However, when creating new order proposals, the firming logic was used incorrectly in all segments.
Other terms

MD01, MD02, MD03, MD04, MD05, MD43, Planning time fence, Firming type

Reason and Prerequisites
      a) This is intentional.

This allows the MRP controller, who dispatches the inputs during this process (manual planning), to protect planning as well outside of the planning time fence from the material master against automatic changes.
If, for example, a production order is dispatched outside of the planning time fence or firms planned orders, the automatic materials planning should 'accept' his planning up to this date.

      b) This is caused by a program error.
      c) This is caused by a program error.
      d) This is caused by a program error.
Solution
      a) The documentation is completed for Releases 2.2G and 3.0.

If you do not want this function behaviour, you can switch it off using a modification (test and maintenance by customer). A modification proposal for Releases 3.0A - 3.0I is contained in the attachment.

      b) Correction.
      c) Correction.
      d) Correction. This is implemented in the standard system as of Releases 2.2J and 3.0F.

SAP Note 27863 - Material text not shown when unit of measure error

Symptom:

The user enters a condition record (VK11 VK12) for a condition table that has material on the line level and receives an error when the unit of measure is not defaulted (for various reasons). The user then enters the correct unit of measure, BUT THE MATERIAL SHORT TEXT IS NOT DISPLAYED.

Cause and prerequisites

When the error message occurs, the field that the material text is stored in is cleared. Then, the material text is never read again because the program thinks it has previously been read.

Solution
Program change.

SAP Note 27859 - Transport CO-PA: BREAK-POINT in SAPLKXOB

Symptom:

When transporting/importing/translating an operating concern, the program SAPLKXOB stops at a BREAK-POINT. The attempt to continue causes the dump SAPSQL_WHERE_ILLEGAL_VALUE.

Cause and prerequisites

The program refuses to transport data which could lead to inconsistencies in the target system. Every transport would cause inconsistencies due to an incorrect table entry in the delivery 30A. For this reason, every transport is refused.

Solution
Start the transaction OKXO. Confirm the warning messages that data is client-independent and belong to SAP. On the following screen, you choose "Position..." and enter the object type "BEWE".
Now select the first line (ObTyp "BEWE") and choose "Object dependencies".
Confirm the following warning message, that the data belongs to SAP. Select the first line (ObTyp "BEER") on the subsequent screen and choose "Object selection".
Confirm the following warning message, that the data belongs to SAP. The subsequent screen contains the following 2 lines: Pos Dep.field Operator Superordinate field
1 MANDT = MANDT
2 ERKRS = ERKRS
Change them to: Pos Dep.field Operator Superordinate field
1 MANDT = K_MANDT
2 ERKRS = K_ERKRS
Now save and exit the transaction.

SAP Note 27857 - CK267 with job definition SAPRCK32

Symptom:

When the user schedules a job that prints the logs for a costing run (with CK32), error message CK267 is issued because no logs yet exist. The user, however, wants to run the job as a follow-up job for selection, structure explosion or costing so that logs will exist when the print job is run.

Cause and prerequisites

The system checks whether logs exist at AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
This check, however, is not actually needed until START-OF-SELECTION.

Solution
The program has been corrected for 3.0B and 2.2G. A preliminary correction is possible. In Report SAPRCK32, deactivate the lines marked with <<<<<

SAP Note 27853 - SAPLBANK: F4211 for internal number assignment

Symptom:

When entering bank data (master record maintenance, posting to OTA) for countries with which the bank key is assigned internally (is numbered, T005-BNKEY = '3'), the error message F4211 appears.

Cause and prerequisites

Possible cause is a text element translated by mistake in program SAPLBANK:
Text element 001 must be called: 'INTERN' (in upper case) and not 'intern' or 'internal'.

Solution
With SE38 - SAPLBANK - Text element - Check/change text element 001.

SAP Note 27851 - Changing item category and delivery group

Symptom:

A material has a bill of material. A sales document is created with this material with an item category so that the bill of material is not exploded. The item category is then later changed so that the bill of material is exploded. In this case, a delivery group is not set up, although this is provided for the new item category in Customizing.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error

Solution
The following advance correction can be made as of 2.2C:

SAP Note 27848 - Language of work items in a workflow

Symptom:

The work items of a workflow have different languages. (Some of) the work items have a different language to the respective workflow.

Cause and prerequisites

All work items which were created due to asynchronous communication mechanisms in workflow are in the language that is entered for the user of the destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL, which was maintained in workflow Customizing.
All work items that were created due to an event have the language of the event.
Missed deadlines are in the language in which the background job SWWDHEX, which monitors the deadlines, was scheduled.

Solution
From Release 3.0B, the language of the higher-level workflow or of the deadline monitoring work item is evaluated when creating a work item. The new work item is then created in the same language as the respective workflow.
This procedure applies to all types of work items (that is, background steps, deadline monitoring) and also for final notifications which are sent via SAPOffice.
For Release 3.0A, assign the language in which all workflows should run to the user maintained for the destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL (for example, German or English).
When creating workflows or work items via events, set the language of the event, if possible, in the event container (constant evt_language from the INCLUDE file RSWEINCL). If the language of the trigger is not set, the event manager copies the system language from SY-LANGU. When triggering the event from the update, this is not the language of the previous dialog user but the language from the system default.

SAP Note 27846 - Addresses in Customizing: changes not possible

Symptom:

Changes to the address are not stored when you maintain addresses for organizational units in Customizing or when you maintain business or private addresses of customer contact persons.
If the addresses are on organizational units in Customizing, the note only applies if exactly the following symptom occurs:
If, from the overview of Customizing maintenance (for example, company codes or plants), you choose Edit -> Address (or, on the detail screen, you press "Address" or F17 "Address"), you reach the maintenance screen for addresses.
You make a change and save it (F11).

    1. The dialog returns to the overview screen of the Customizing maintenance without generating a message;
    or
    2. the misleading message SM810 is generated: "Unable to delete address $" (up to Release 3.1G).

As of Release 3. 1I message SM813 is displayed: "Data inconsistency, address & in table SADRP. Change not possible".
If you branch to the address maintenance screen again, the changes no longer exist but instead the original status before the change.


The error can occur for the following Customizing objects:

    • Company codes (Table T001) Transaction OX02
    • Plants/branches (T001W) OX10
    • Organizational unit: Sales offices (TVBUR) OVX1
    • Organizational unit: Sales organizations (TVKO) OVX5
    • Organizational unit: Shipping points (TVST) OVXD

Additionally in 2.2 and 3.0:

    • Taxes on sales/purchases groups Address OBCM
      Address tax office (T007F) OBCF

Additionally in 3.0:

    • Personnel areas (T500P)
    • Organizational unit: Transportation planning points (TTDS)
    • Tax district and reference details (T5G52)


A corresponding error can also occur in Transaction FSAP (company code-dependent reply addresses) since the same address maintenance module is used.
However, here the address maintenance is not called up via the maintenance of an organizational unit but from a separate transaction, which you can find in the Customizing tree under Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Closing -> Count -> Balance Confirmation Correspondence -> "Define reply addresses for balance confirmation".

The note also applies, if business addresses or private addresses are changed by customer contact persons and the following phenomenon occurs:

    3. If you change data on the address maintenance screen and save the changes (F11), the dialog returns to the preceeding dialog screen without message. If you then goto the address maintenance screen again, the changes you made before no longer exist.

This may, for example, occur when you maintain debtor contact persons (Transaction XD02).
Cause and prerequisites

    1. Option (screen change without generating a message after saving on the address screen):

Inconsistency in the central address table SADR generally caused by a transport.
The SADR-STDCOM field (type of communication, under the "Country" field) is empty or contains a value other than 'LET'.
The central function module also used for other address maintenance transactions expects a valid entry from table TSADC here.
If you use the maintenance dialog itself, this inconsistency does not occur; the entry 'LET' is always generated in this case.
This problem can occur up to Release 3.x; Release 4.0 uses a new function module for address maintenance in the Customizing.

    2. Option (message SM810 is generated after saving on the address screen):

Inconsistency between the address tables SADR and SADRP (the same address number is contained as a key in both tables). Also generally caused by a transport.

    3. Option (Maintenance of business or private addresses of contact persons):

This has the same cause as in Case 1.
This problem can occur in the contact address maintenance up to Release 4.0B. As of release 4.5, the system uses a new function module.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Caution: This note does not describe the error that two Customizing objects point to the same address number (see 'Related notes').
Solution

    1. Solution for the first error cause (screen change without generating a message after saving on the address screen): :

The inconsistency can be corrected as follows:

      a) Check whether the entry with key 'LET' exists in table TSADC. The 'Maintain' indicator must have the value 'X' in this case. You can maintain the table using Transaction SM31. As of Release 3.0, also by means of the IMG Transaction SADC (Customizing -> Cross-Application Components -> General Task Functions -> Address Management -> Maintain communication types).
      b) Determine the address number of the address allocated to the organizational unit. This can be found in the "Address" field which is generally called 'ADRNR' and refers to the domain 'ADRNR'.

Example: The address for company code 4321 is specified in the T001-ADRNR field under the key T001-BUKRS = 4321.
You can display the contents of the respective table using Transaction SE16.
Further fields with address reference are:
Plants/branches T001W-ADRNR
Sales/purch.tax grps Address T007F-ADRNR (only 2.2 and 3.0)
Address tax office T007F-FAADR (2.2 and 3.0)
Personnel areas T500P-ADRNR (only 3.0)
Organizational unit: Transp.plan.points TTDS-ADRNR (only 3.0)
Organizational unit: Sales offices TVBUR-ADRNR
Organizational unit: Sales organiz. TVKO-ADRNR
Organizational unit: Shipping points TVST-ADRNR

      c) Call the address maintenance Transaction SAD0, enter the address number determined above in the field provided (with leading zeros) and choose "Change".

Enter the value 'LET' in the "Communication type" field (SADR-STDCOM) in the maintenance screen that follows.
Fill any further required fields with useful values, if necessary.
Save the changes.

      d) The inconsistency is now eliminated. Check whether you can now make the required changes to the address from the Customizing maintenance, and whether these changes are saved permanently.
      e) In Release 2.1 and 2.2, it might be necessary to make a further table setting for the address maintenance Transaction SAD0.

If the error message SM306 "Maintain table TSAVT" is output after you have entered the address number and chosen "Change", maintain the table TSAVT using Transaction SM31.
Include the following entry:

  • Language: Your logon language
  • Version: Blank (SPACE)
  • Description: "Standard"

After saving the value with 'ENTER', the error message SM306 may no longer appear.
Upon completing Transaction SAD0, you can delete the entry from table TSAVT.

    2. Solution for the second error cause (message SM810 or SM813 after saving on the address screen):

Change the number range interval ADRNR 01 as described in the OSS Note 25182 and then apply report RSADRNNR as described in the OSS Note 25182.
For this, you must use the latest version of report RSADRNNR as described in Note 25182 in order to consider the special inconsistency with message SM810/SM813.

This corrects the data inconsistency.

Additional explanation:
At the program position where error message SM810 is issued up to Release 3.1G, another error message ought to be issued.
The following modification is necessary for this:
Replace the message I810 in Include LSAD2U08 with the message I813. (approximately at line nnn).
Create the message SM813 with the text:
"Data inconsistency, address & in table SADRP. No change is possible"
This program correction is not absolutely necessary to correct the error since the misleading message SM810 does not normally appear, except for the described data inconsistency.
It is sufficent to correct the data inconsistency.
As of Release 3.1H this program correction is contained in the standard system.

    3. Solution for the third error cause (Maintenance of business or private addresses of contact persons):

If only individual addresses are concerned, proceed as described in the solution for error cause one.
If several or many SADR records in field SADR-STDCOM do not contain any entry, create report ZRSADR27846 in your system and transfer the source code from the attached correction instructions 117861. After executing the report, all SADR records in the field SADR-STDCOM receive an entry and address maintenance will be possible again.
In addition, Note 122916 describes a correction which results in an s message after successful storage.

SAP Note 27839 - Error 'CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE'

Symptom:

When updating key figures the 'CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE' ABAP/4 runtime error occurs.
Termination occurs in the 'PERIODE_ERMITTELN' routine of ABAP/4 program RMCS1000.

Cause and prerequisites

This is caused by a missing check for update definition. In the update rules, a date field is specified by means of which the period is determined in which the key figure is to be updated.
When you specify this date field, a check is not run to see if it is in fact a date field. If a field with another category (value field, quantity field ..) is entered here, the above termination occurs during updating.

Solution
Check that only date fields can be entered.
This check is active with the following corrections:
P21K005983 in Release 2.1M
P22K010011 in Release 2.2G
P30K019988 in Release 3.0B

The check can also be carried out as an advance correction by making a number of changes:

SAP Note 27838 - Routing: In-house production time backwards

Symptom:

The routing scheduling calculates another in-house production time for forward scheduling than for backward scheduling.

Cause and prerequisites

The in-house production time is always calculated as for forward scheduling even for backward scheduling. This could lead to miscalculations when you are using different operating times.

Solution
The in-house production time must also be calculated backwards for backward scheduling. Import the required changes made in the program objects for the in-house production time with status 9/27/95 (Releases 2.2A-G) into the customer system via the sapserv* servers; see also note 13719. The respective transport request is P22K010111.

The data file and the control file of the above transport request R010111.P22 (data file)
K010111.P22 (control file)
can be found on sapserv3 in the directory $ftp-home/dist/permanent/Note.0027838

Please keep in mind that the objects transported in advance are not dealt with as corrections by the system. That is, the objects are replaced without further notice during the next upgrade and are also not considered during the modification adjustment with SPDD/SPAU.

SAP Note 27835 - ME90: Printing contract conditions in sequence

Symptom:

The display of the contract conditions is not sorted according to the entry but according to condition type. RA01, for example, is printed after RA00 although RA01 was entered first.

Cause and prerequisites

SAP Note 27833 - Ab. term. in function module 'READ_MDFA_FOR_SO'

Symptom:

An abnormal termination occurs in function module 'READ_MDFA_FOR_SO', if a search is run for more than 254 run schedule headers on production orders.

Cause and prerequisites

A 'SELECT' statement is executed with a 'RANGES' table containing more than 254 records. This is translated for the Oracle database into a 'SELECT' statement with more than 254 conditions.
Every database system can process only a certain number of conditions; if this number is exceeded, abnormal termination occurs.

Solution

SAP Note 27831 - Priority of output requests ?

Symptom:

In the spool, you can give spool requests a priority which is then passed on to the generated output requests.
Where does this have its effect?

Cause and prerequisites

- Inforamtion -

Solution
This priority has no effect on the processing sequence within R/3. If the system is set up "well", the spool work processes should be fast enough so that there is no queue that could be sorted anyway.
If the host spool supports a priority scheduler, the priority is passed via '&Y'). For details, please see note 15355.
However, many of the supported host spool types do not recognize these priorities.

SAP Note 27822 - DME in Great Britain - Changes in Release 3.0

Symptom:

Changes to data medium exchange with banks in the UK for Release 3.0

Cause and prerequisites

Release 2.2* Status:

    1. After running the payment program, the selected open items are cleared against an interim bank account.
    Example: Vendor A with two items (£200 and £300) is cleared against a bank sub-account (£500).
    2. Program RFFOGB_T is used to generate a data medium for BACS. All payment documents from one day's processing are posted again against an interim bank account and are marked with a reference number (1234). This happens within a BTCI session that can also be created from Report RFFOGB_T.
    Example: The bank sub-account with clearing for vendor A (£500) and vendor B (£1000) is cleared against another bank sub-account X (£1500).
    3. The bank receives the data medium, carries out the transactions and sends an account statement.
    4. The account statement is processed manually or electronically.
    Example: The electronic account statement contains a cash disbursement of £1500 with the reference number 1234. The Report RFEBGB00 determines the affected bank sub-account and the £1500 item is cleared against the actual bank account.


Release 3.0* Status:

    1. The selected items are cleared against an interim bank account after running the payment program.
    2. Report RFFOGB_T is used to generate a data medium for BACS. The payment documents from one day's processing are not cleared though against another bank sub-account. This posting is cancelled - it is therefore not necessary to create and process the BTCI-Session!
    Instead, the payment document numbers affected are grouped together and stored in the system by means of reference numbers.

    Example:
    Payment to vendor Adams : DM 1000,00 15.12.199x
    Payment to vendor Blithe: DM 2000,00 15.12.199x

    Payment to vendor Miller: DM 1100,00 17.12.199x
    Payment to vendor Norman: DM 2200,00 17.12.199x

    Payment to vendor Adams : DM 1110,00 19.12.199x

    3. The bank receives the data medium, carries out the transactions and sends an account statement. Each CONTRA record appears separately on the account statement.
    4. Manual account statement:
    Use Avis functionality in accordance with note 24546.
    5. Electronic account statement:
    The electronic account statement is processed by Report RFEBGB00. The payment documents for the transferred reference number are now read from the system and cleared against the actual bank account. Use the interpretation algorithm '19 - refence number (DTA management) and the processing type '05' for assigning external transactions to internal ones.

    Example: The two internally saved payment documents are determined for the consigned refence number SAPBACS0000123511, and cleared against the amount of DM 3300,00 in the bank account.

Note
The refence number specified in the DTA management always comprises complete payment document numbers of a BACS data carrier. If debit memos or credit memos are processed within a file, or if payments to several execution days are combined, then several CONTRA master records are created. The account statement always relates to the reference number ('SAPBACS...') specified in the CONTRA record.

SAP Note 27818 - ST11: damaged layout for 10 MB files

Symptom:

The following message appears when calling up the transaction 'ST11':
C_DIR_READ_NEXT SUBRC 3
And the list layout is affected.
The following message appears when you press [Refresh]:
3 <- CALL C_DIR_READ_NEXT(,infupdstat.log,..)
or another file name. The file named has a length of more than 10 MB.

Cause and prerequisites

Only 9 characters were provided for intermediate storage of the file name.
This can also affect unchosen files in a scanned directory. Reason: depending on the search pattern, large parts of the directory may have to be scanned.

Solution
The named file in any case is too long and can be deleted or reorganized. (depending on file: maybe note 26730 or 18813.)
Alternatively, continue to work with the inconvenient display.
Another option is to carry out the very simple repair.

SAP Note 27814 - Ordering or contract address ignored when printing

Symptom:

Although an alternative ordering address is specified in the purchasing document (under Owner -> Partner) (in the contract it is an alternative contract address), the address of the vendor (EKKO-LIFNR) is printed.

Cause and prerequisites

Possible causes:

    1. The partner function which is used as ordering address is not allocated to the (hard-coded) internal partner function 'BA' allocated (for the contract address this is 'VA').
    2. The customer uses his own print program in which the source code added to 3.0 that determines the alternative address is missing.
Solution
    1. This can be set in Customizing: Transaction WOLP, Partner functions, Environment -> Function conversion. The internal function description is entered on the left, the external (language-specific) one is entered on the right.
2. The corresponding part of routine LESEN in standard print program FM06PF01 which determines the alternative address must be added to the customer-specific print program

SAP Note 27799 - Turn off unwanted form feeds

Symptom:

You are using access method L to print from within the SAP system on a remote printer in UNIX. This printer sends the print request to another host spooler.

Some spoolers (for example Novell) attach an empty page to every SAP printout.

Reason and Prerequisites

SAP pads the last page of every printout with blank lines in order to output the last page from the printer. This works for most spoolers, but some still generate another form feed at the end, resulting in an additional empty page.

Solution
The problem can often be avoided by adjusting the relevant UNIX command (profile parameter rspo/host_spool/print), or with a modification in the host spooler. The following table lists print options (which resolve the problem) for the various operating systems.

UNIX Derivative Title page Blank page Titlepage&Blankpage
SUN/AIX lpr -h lpr -J/nff lpr -J/nff/nb
HP/UX lp -onb lp -onff lp -onb -onff
rlp -h rlp -J/nff rlp -J/nff/nb
Solaris lp -onobanner lp -onofilebreak -onobanner nofilebreak

In addition, it is possible that network card, printer boxes or the PC's network software adds the form feed. In these cases, it is often possible to log on to the corresponding print demon with telnet. The demon offers the telnet session a menu which, among other things, allows you to create form feed rules.

SAP Note 27798 - Drill-down reportng: DUMP DBIF_SETG_INVALID_CURSOR

SAP Note 27766 - Separate Backup of client or development class

Symptom:

How do you do a database backup of
a) an individual client
b) an individual development class

Cause and prerequisites

Only one part of the system data is important, and must be saved.

Solution
The database may only be saved in its entirety. It is indeed technically possible to save and reimport individual tables with the database resources, but consistency is no longer ensured after this.
The export of a client or a development class using the R/3 transport system is technically and logically possible (client: RSCLIEXP; Development class: SE02 -> "Utilities" -> "DevClass commfile").
The files generated in this way can be saved with the normal operating system resources. However, this is not a procedure recommended by SAP: The export of large datasets can cause considerable performance losses and transport is not provided for data backup. The only standard way to do this is via a complete database backup (see customer letter 12/95).

SAP Note 27761 - Starting several SAPF100 in parallel

Symptom:

SAPF100 can only run once on each system. If a second job is to be started parallel to the first one, you get error message FR369 'A valuation is already running in &'.
The customer wants to/must be able to start several runs at the same time.

Cause and prerequisites

The system was designed so that only one SAPF100 can run for each system.

Solution
Implement the following correction. Using this, one SAPF100 can run for each company code in the system.

SAP Note 27759 - IA11: Error message CV711

Symptom:

Cause and prerequisites

There are no number ranges defined in Customizing for the functional location.

Solution
Define number range '01' in Customizing for task lists for the functional location. This number range must not allow external number assignment.

-> Plant maintenance
-> Preventive maintenance
-> Task lists
-> Control data
-> Define number ranges for functional location task lists

SAP Note 27747 - Relationships and maint. packages exclude themselves

Symptom:

If you maintained a maintenance strategy including maintenance packages in the task list, you cannot create relationships or, the other way around, if you first maintained the relationships, you cannot allocate a maintenance strategy to the task list.

Cause and prerequisites

A parallel maintenance of maintenance packages and relationships for operations of the very same task list is no longer permitted.

Reason:
When you schedule a preventive maintenance plan, orders are generated automatically. The order operations are determined automatically because of the maintenance packages allocated to the operation in the task list.
If relationships were allowed between operations, the system would have to determine the relationships to be taken over into the order automatically based on the operations taken over. Unlike the material or PRT, however, the relationships are not directly allocated to the operation, but describe the dependency of two operations concerning procedure and time separately.
The only useful solution for such an automatic function would be not to take over the respective incoming and outgoing relationships for all operations that are not taken over.
However, an order with relationships which are determined that way leads to a result during scheduling which cannot be interpreted usefully.

Solution
1. The task list is created WITH relationships and WITHOUT maintenance strategy and maintenance packages.
2. The preventive maintenance plan is created without maintenance strategy (mixed task list).
3. The required cycles are determined (time-dependently or activity-dependently) in the preventive maintenance plan.
4. The previously created task list together with the relationship is allocated to the maintenance item in this preventive maintenance plan.
5. During the scheduling release, an order is created which contains all operations and relationships of the task list from the maintenance item.

This organizational solution contains the following restrictions:

1. The cycle refers to the entire task list and not to individual operations. As a result, different cycles for different operations of a task list are not permitted.
2. No shift factors are permitted.
3. No scheduling period is permitted.

SAP Note 27741 - Work items created repeatedly after Join

Symptom:

Workflow 3.0: When execution a workflow, work items for the steps are sometimes created twice after a parallel section.
Example: FIPP pattern workflow WS10000051, step 136 'Change document', after the join node 20/25.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error in the FORM routine cancel_wis_between_2_nodes in the program LSWP1F02 (function group SWP1):
The problem can occur after a parallel section if all parallel branches for ending the section do not need to be processed to end the parallel section (a so-called "n of m" join) and the parallel section is in a loop. In the second and any following passes of the loop, several work items can be created for the next task after ther joining. The cause is that the corresponding counter is not reset to zero for the terminated parallel branches when Workflow exits the parallel section.

Solution
When leaving a parallel section (only an "n of m" join!) the counter must be set to zero. Advance correction, see below
The error is corrected from release 3.0B.

SAP Note 27739 - Incorrect document numbers during deprec. posting

Symptom:

When you process the posting session, or when you are in the log, you see that incorrect document numbers were assigned. The document number assignment generally does not start with the directly preceding posting run but with the posting run from the previous year.
When you process the session, you receive error message
F5152 Document number & & & was already assigned.

Cause and prerequisites

At least one posting run terminated (TABA-XBUKZ = 0 or 1) or, in at least one posting run, no documents were created (TABA-XBUKZ = N).

Solution
First correct the document number interval in table TABA:
In order to do this, first determine how many documents were created in the session. This information is in the log, or in the display of the session that was created. Then find out the last document number that was assigned in the last correct depreciation posting run (you can use SE16 in table TABA, for example). In table TABA, find the entry for the "from" document number for the period you want to post. Enter the number here that sequentially immediately follows the last document number. As "to" number enter the number you get by adding the "from" number and the number of documents that were created in the session (which you found out in the first step). (Note 22767 describes how you can maintain table TABA. If you have any questions or concerns about maintaining this table, please contact the Hotline.)
Then install the following program correction. Carry out the syntax check only in the main program RABUCH00 or RABUCH20.
Then, in the case of a restart, start program RABUCH00. Or start program RABUCH20 to set up the BDC session again. (If the indicator "document posted" is set to '0' or '1' in table TABA, then you must use RABUCH00 with the "restart" option. If the indicator is set to ' ', then use RABUCH20.

SAP Note 27733 - IS-H: Create customer from ISH -> trans. displayed

Symptom:

When you create an ISH customer (business partner - customer or patient), a FI transaction screen is displayed when you save and all the predefined FI data has disappeared.
Mostly, one of the two following error messages appear:

  • 00347 'Field xyz is not an input field'
  • 00349 'Field xyz does not exist in the screen SAPMF02D'
Other terms

Business partner, customer, patient, self-payer

Reason and Prerequisites

Field or screen has been hidden or set as a display field via FI Customizing.
In table TN02Q, either default values for the corresponding field have been defined or patient or customer master data should be transferred to FI.
Unsupported screens of Financial Accounting were displayed.

Solution

Check whether the following screens are active and the named fields are not hidden:
Customizing -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master records -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records ->
-> Define account groups with screen layout (customers)
-> Define screen layout per company code (customers)
-> Define screen layout per activity (customers)
For the field or screen in question, check per activity (create, change), for the company code and the account group whether the field has indeed been hidden or set as a display field.
If all fields have been hidden on a screen, the entire screen is no longer visible in the screen sequence in Transaction FD01 or FD02.
Based on the possible customizing possibilities, you can only examine the screen list by executing Transaction FD01 to create the customer and Transaction FD02 online to change the customer.
After each screen change you have to determine the respective screen (program and screen number) via 'System -> Status'.

Program involved: SAPMF02D.

The following screens of Financial Accounting are part of the run and should be active:
