COPA Characterestic Hierarchy

Many times in the past, other application support teams and even business teams had requested for soft copy of the characteristic hierarchy, so that they can replicate information in the hierarchical way SAP is showing. The following tables store the details of the tree structure TKCHH SAP-EIS: Hierarchy header TKCHHT SAP-EIS: Texts for hierarchy header TKCHN SAP-EIS Hierarchy nodes TKCHNT SAP-EIS: Hierarchy node texts TKCHV SAP-EIS: Hierarchy variants TKCHVT SAP-EIS: Description of hierarchy variants TKCHW SAP-EIS: Hierarchy data The tree structure can be replicated using the TKCHW table, which stores the tree relationship.

This activates the consignment prices to be picked up using the consignment info records. configure a special procurement type using IMG->Production->MRP->Master Data->Define special procurement type. In OBYC configure the consignment payables account (transaction KON). Assign the special procurement type created in step 2 to all the materials that are to use the consignment process. This is done in the MRP2 view of the material master maintenance transaction Create Consignment info record using tcode ME11. Select info category as consignment. Create general data, Purchase Org data and conditions. Conditions allow you to create time dependent prices. Cre...

Rounding off of Amount fields in SAP

I remember, when I learnt COBOL, our instructor used to give us problems to solve. One of the problems often repeated in all programming classes was to write the code for rounding off numbers, without using built in functions. In SAP it is a bit tricky, as SAP stores amout fields as currency types. These fields are stored internally with 2 decimals, irrespective of the currency used. It can be easily done using write statement if you want to round the amount field in the report. How to do it if you want to round it store it as a currency amount field itself. This is a problem in SAP query reports. In my case the user wanted to amount fields to appear rounded to nearest integer. SAP has some built-in-functions like ceil, floor but they can not be used as it is, due to the fact that the amount is stored internally with 2 decimals. Most of the currencies are with 2 decimals and it is still not a problem. This can be easily achieved by the following operation. A constant need to be defin...

LSMW Tip

This tip is very useful for Master Data LSMWs that updates many fields. Usually it happens that during a specific project we realise a need to update specific fields. We design these LSMWs in such a way that these values supplied in the input file is updated in the master file. Later on we try to reuse the LSMW for updating a subset if these fields. If we leave the values of other fields blank in the input file, depending on how the LSMW conversion rules were designed, the the master data will be updated with initial values. Common practice in many organisations is to create a new LSMW for the new set of fields. This is not required if the LSMW uses Direct Input. Direct input uses a special character to denote no value. The default is "/". This allows us to reuse the LSMW. Reformat the input text file and fill fields that are not to be disturbed with this character. For example if the LSMW is for updating the following fields 1. storage bin 2. picking area 3. reord...
