SAP Note 28758 - Line item commitment: Performance improvements

Symptom:

Message: Line item commitment has very bad runtimes

Cause and prerequisites

The Select was previously called with an object number table. The Select optimizer of the database, therefore, does not work.
The Select is now relocated for each object.
During line item reporting (actual and commitment) for projects, a significant potentiality is available for improved performance in Release 2.2A - 2.2G. See Note 32181.

SAP Note 28754 - System -> ... terminates current transaction

Symptom:

A user is processing a transaction and chooses one of the functions, System -> User defaults, System -> Services or System -> Utilities
A new transaction is started and the old one is terminated without warning.

Cause and prerequisites

This was implemented this way, as the ideal technical preconditions were missing up to now.

Solution
A better technical solution is being worked on. Until a change occurs, the above-mentioned functions should only be called directly from menus and not from within a transaction.

SAP Note 28753 - Releasing blocked invoices: list of blocked invoices

Symptom:

Releasing blocked invoices: The list generated by the system can be displayed in various ways. The display variants are defined in Customizing; the display variants delivered in the standard system cannot be changed there.
Sometimes the standard display variants contain formating errors.

Cause and prerequisites

Wrong entries in tables T180S and T180U

Solution
Check the display variants and make any necessary changes in tables T180S and T180U. The program concerned is SAPMM08A and the variants are
L0 Document number - Purchase order
L1 Release automatically (with vendor)
L2 Vendor - Document number
L3 Release automatically
L4 Document number + blocking reasons

Dislay variant L0 (Document number - Purchase order)
If the column Days appears twice, delete the second entry SAPMM08A L0 ... RM08A DTAGE in table T180S.

Display variants L2 (Vendor - Document number)
If the column Days appears twice, delete the second entry SAPMM08A L2 ...RM08A DTAGE in table T180S.

If the headers for the columns in a standard display variant are wrong, change the entry for these variants in table T180U. Ensure that you have the proper number of blanks between the headers in the columns.

Finally, generate the changed display variants in the Customizing system of Invoice Verification.
(release invoice -> environment -> generate)
Choose "Release invoices" and regenerate the list to check whether the tables have been properly maintained.

SAP Note 28742 - Aut.bal.carry fwd: problem with alternate accounts

Symptom:

Only affects ledgers in which alternate accounts are stored (not the 00 G/L ledger).
When posting to a prior fiscal year, a balance is automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year. Under some circumstances, the balances carried forward are not found in the expected account.
Cause: Balance sheet accounts are carried forward to a carry-forward account, and profit and loss accounts are carried forward to themselves instead of to a carry-forward account.

Cause and prerequisites

Cause:
The analysis which determines whether a balance sheet or profit and loss account is involved is not carried out correctly. Therefore a balance sheet account could be interpreted as a profit and loss account,or vice versa.
Within the program, the classification of the original account (XBILK) is passed on in BSEG. Interpretation of the alternate account is based on this indicator.
Prerequisite: The alternate account must have a different account classification (SKA1-XBILK) than the operative (company code) account, for example, account 400000 is a balance sheet account in the operative chart of accounts, and a profit and loss account in the alternate chart of accounts.
Customers should check whether they actually want this master data specification, and correct it where applicable.

Solution
Restart the SAPFGVTR program for carrying forward balances after you completed making postingsd to the prior fiscal year. This will correct any incorrect balances.
A program change is not planned at this time.

SAP Note 28741 - KE24 branches to range scan on double-click

Symptom:

If a line-item report is displayed via KE24, an overview list of the line items is displayed.
However, if the user branches into the detailed display using a double-click, then the system hangs with the hourglass.
Checking in SM50 shows that the system is performing a range scan on CE1.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error.

Solution
Install the following correction (marked with "WKB) in Include RKEVRK1F. Afterwards, regenerate the program for the line item detailed display with function module RKE_GENERATE_KE21 for the current operating concern.

SAP Note 28737 - RFFOUS_C - incorrect amount in words

Symptom:

The amount from the previous check is output on a check instead of the correct amount in words.
The error log contains the message that an entry in table T015Z is missing (error message F0277).

Cause and prerequisites

On the one hand, an entry can actually be missing for converting the numbers into words in system table T015Z. You should then analyze whether this error is a delivery error on the part of SAP or whether it is a table maintenance error on the part of the customer.

On the other hand, a language can be entered in a vendor master for which a conversion into words is not maintained (for example due to a typing error in the language). The language is to be corrected here in the master record.

Solution
The fact that the amount is output in words is a program error. This error is corrected Release 2.2G or 3.0B in the standard system. An advance correction can be made.

SAP Note 28732 - Stock transfer for sales order across plants

Symptom:

Purchase requisitions can be created from material requirements planning for transfer posting a material of unrestricted-use stock of one plant to the special stock E (sales order stock) of another plant. However, transfer posting is not supported in inventory management.

Cause and prerequisites

This function was not yet supported.

Solution
Add the listed table entries and program code changes in your system.
Transfer posting is then possible in the following way:
In goods issue, the stock is debited directly from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant. The debited value is then debited to the sales order.
During goods receipt, the transferred quantity is posted as a receipt to the sales order stock. This posting is not valuated.

For the required source code corrections for Releases 3.x, see the 'Corrections' section of the note.

Release 3.0C:
Ignore the correction in program MM07MFB9. Only implement the correction for Release 3.0D in programs LMBWLU11 and MM07MFB7. In addition, implement the program corrections of Note 40029.

SAP Note 28730 - Court Orders during Retroaction

Symptom:

The requirement is that if a Backdated change is put into a wage type
that affects arrestable pay, the positive or negative amount should be rolled forward to the current open payroll period and be included in arrestable pay for that period. That way any arrears can be recovered, and for the salary band types the employee pays the extra in the period
that they receive the extra money, or conversely they pay less in the period that total pay is reduced. Like all deductions court orders should never be recalculated retro-actively.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
Due to the differences in useage between '/105', working net pay and arrestable earnings when in a retroactive situation, a new cumulation wage type for Arrestable earnings; '/141'.
As well as this new wage type we require two new retroactive wagetypes for the correct processing of court orders via backdated changes to the arrestable earnings amount.
Please note that due to the use of the new /141 arrestable earnings wagetype, all user wagetypes that should be deemed as building up to gross, should also be marked with an 'x' on position 41 of the cumulation calsses within T512W. That way /141 can be built up correctly.

SAP Note 28728 - No scrolling to Next page

Symptom:

SAP Note 28727 - Incor.acct.assig. with comp. for sales order stock

Symptom:

If a component for sales order stock is allocated in a network with allocation to sales order item and WBS elemement, item category 'E', instead of item category 'D' is set in the reservation/purchase requisition. This can cause subsequent errors in purchasing or in materials planning/inventory management.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
1. Check table TCOKT using transaction SE17:
The last entry (TCOKT-Acc.Cat_005) should be 'D'. Since you will be able to maintain this data field only as of Release 3.0C, the field must be set here using ABAP.
2. Change Include LCNWBTOP (see below.).
3. Change function module CN_WB_CHECK_SD_ORDER_FOR_NETW (see below).
4. Change Includes LCOMDU02 (see below.).

SAP Note 28723 - Sequence key for routing

Symptom:

It is no longer possible to enter sequence keys in transaction 'OP84'.

Cause and prerequisites

The screen sequence control of the detail screens is no longer required, now that a number of detail screens have been converted to one large screen in the routing.

Solution
In Customizing, it is no longer possible to define the sequence keys or include these keys in profiles.

SAP Note 28721 - Operation sequence for confirmation

Symptom:

Despite the setting "any operation sequence for confirmations" in the confirmation parameters (transaction OPK4 field MRFLG), when you try to confirm a production order not in accordance with the operation sequence, error message RU024 is displayed.

Cause and prerequisites

The milestone indicator is set for one of the control keys of the production order (can be set in Customizing OPJ8).

Solution
The Customizing setting "any operation sequence" does not apply to milestone activities. If an operation is marked by the control key as a milestone, a preceding operation which is also declared as a milestone must at least be "partially confirmed".

SAP Note 28717 - VD346: Period indicator 4 is not defined

Symptom:

The error message VD346 appears when you create a sales order with date type P (period):
VD346 "Period indicator 4 is not defined".
However, table TPRG contains an entry with language D, Deliv.date P, date type 4. This means that date type P is proposed as a possible entry by means of F4.

Cause and prerequisites

Date type 4 (period indicator P) is not defined. This is hard checked during the date conversion.

Solution
None. This date type must not be used in sales orders.

SAP Note 28706 - RFSBWA00: Alloc. of accounts indep. of debits/credits

Symptom:

The RFSBWA00 program always allocates accounts that are allocated to different items with debits/credits according to the year-end balance, independently of the period selection used at the beginning of the program.

Cause and prerequisites

Is programmed to do this. The reason is the option to interactively change the displayed periods in the program. The selection at the start of the program is then only the restriction for the displayed period. The allocation is always carried out according to the total balance.

Solution
None. In this case, the program must be modified to produce the required result.

SAP Note 28705 - ME21 ME31 ME41 ME51 Material short text

Symptom:

As of Release 3.0, the short text (short description) for items with material can be changed in the following purchasing documents:
RFQ, purchase order, contract and scheduling agreement.
The changed short texts are also adopted in follow-on documents (e.g. contract text is adopted in the release order).

Restrictions:

    1. The short text is not changeable in the purchase requisition. Since the requisition is maintained in the system language but the short text is sought in the vendor language in other purchasing documents, the changed short text from the requisition can never be adopted in other purchasing documents. So as not to awaken any false expectations: the short text in the requisition remains unchangeable.
    2. On the item overview screen the short text is always overwritten by the short text from the material master record if you change it after receiving a warning message (e.g. "Delivery date lies in the past"). The system cannot distinguish at this point whether the old short text is a short text suggested by the system or an already changed text. In particular, the material number may have been corrected again subsequent to the warning.

    Furthermore, as of Release 3.0, an item with material can also be entered if the short text is not maintained in the document language.
    The message ME095 can be deactivated or changed to a warning message in Customizing for this purpose. The system then reads the material short text in the system language.

As of Release 3.0F, it is possible to decide by field selection whether the short text of the material as described above can be changed or not.

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
Release 3.0.
If you do not want to use this new functionality, you may decide as of Release 3.0F by field selection that the short text of the material cannot be changed. In the field selection control, a new entry 'Material short text' is included in the 'Basic data of the item' group.

You can make the following advance corrections:

In the screens SAPMM06E 0121, 0221, 0321 change modification group 4 for the EKPO-TXZ01 field from '102' to '104'.
In the screens SAPMM06E 0111, 0211, 0311 change modification group 3 for
the EKPO-TXZ01 field from ' ' to '002'.

Save and generate all screens.


Add the entry 'D' '1' '102' 'Short text of the material' '01' 'X' 'X'
'X' 'X' ' ' to table T162X using transaction SM31. You may add the same
entry in other languages than 'D'.

Implement the advance corrections of programs MM06EO0M and MM06EF0M.

Maintain the field selection as desired.

SAP Note 28704 - F4: Double byte systems and matchcode values

Symptom:

When extending the material number to more than 32 characters, all characters after the 32nd are truncated after selecting a matchcode value using F4 help when resetting the values on the screen.

Cause and prerequisites

The screen processor checks whether the information on the length of the value is available. If not, the value is limited to 32 characters.

Solution
The field length must be returned from the matchcode help to the screen processsor.
In Release 3.0A proceed as described below. In Releases 3.0F/3.0G use the appended advance correction.

Additional key words
