FI document number same as Billing doc number

There is a simple standard SAP mechnism to make billing doc number same as accounting documnet number.

Assign same number range for both. Keep Accounting doc number range as 'External'.

Please see doc  Dropbox->SD->'FI doc name same as Billing doc Config.docx'. 
 

Printer settings - SPAD

Printer settings:

SPAD (tcode): Define new printer here - Assign ' Host Printer' - actual windows printer address.

Device type links with Printer fonts in SE73. The fonts should also present in Font family - If not, you may get error in outputs sent to the printer, if the output uses these fonts. In this case, you need to install font to font family (Install ttf button in SE73).

In SPAD, you can Lock the printer - generally we do this in Dev and QA environments.

You can see spool requests, output requests buttons in SPAD - quite useful, while supporting ( when you dont get prints.. )

Credit checks - Credit blocking

OVA8 - tcode where you set rules for credit checks depending up on Cred.Contrl.Area, risk category (set for customers) and Credit group (at order/deliv/PGI level).

You can block at Order level or Delivery level or PGI level. - by using Credit group

 

Pricing tips

All non statistical conditions in Pricing procedure will appear in Accounting document.

To make Statistical conditions appear, we need to set 'Accruals' flag in V/06 and then assign account key accruals in Pricing Procedure.

New search criteria in Web UI

To create a new Search criteria (attribute) for Order/Quote

Structure: CRMST_QORDER_ERPIL
Append new field to this.

This appears like STRUCT.ZZXXXX in Context nodes..

To enable Operators (like CP, etc)
SPRO-> CRM-> Generic Interaction Layer/Object Layer-> Comp-specific settings->Define Operators for Dynamic Queries

CRM - Value nodes

Value nodes:
If you want to create a node which is not mapped with model (database table), then just create value node(attribute) via wizard (right click from context node).

Value nodes can be used to the fields in UI which actually do not correspond to database table fields - or you want to display same fields again in different assignment block or diff screen

AET can be used when you are creating model node. This is like adding field to database table.

AET fields deletion

AET fields can be deleted. Need to regenerate (make sure you see 'Generate' flag - if hidden, then make it displayed).

In general,  after go Live, try to avoid deletion of the fields.

Pricing date in Sales order

Pricing date can be changed to old date - a warning will be given, can be ignored. This way we can get pricing for old date.  Useful at the time of correcting some issues.

EDI Output - 'change' output

To send EDI Idocs for any changes to document:

For eg, Output type ZEDI
Set program-routine in Output type config (in NACE) to define what the change mean. for eg, SAPMV45A-ZZCHECK_CHANGE (keep condition on partner profile table - for EDI - as we dont want to unnecessarily trigger for which partner prof setup is not maintianed - otherwise change output gets triggered but goes into error, as there is no message type set.

Then set Partner profile - tick 'Change' box and give which message type the change idoc should go.

 

Networks - basic commands (command line)

TRACERT :
tracert google.com - Gives you the network path used while you are reaching google.. This way, you can find out in which part of network, the issue lies, if your internet not working.

PING
Check the connection

TELNET
You can send some info to website and check if you have connection established.
You need to have Telnet switched on in your system.
telnet [host[port]]

Firewalls:
Check firewalls, incase of connection issues. May be you blocked the ip.

NAT:
Internal ip will be mapped to external ip in NAT.

Internal IP will be like 192.168.xxx.xxx
