SAP Tips and Tricks

• Logging on without being authorized

Client 066 usually exists in a SAP system because of EarlyWatch services. Often this client does not have master users. If it is true, anyone can log into the system using the client 066, user SAP*, and password PASS. Enjoy yourself.

• Special copy and paste

Click on the area and press CTRL+Y. It allows you to copy many lines at once and paste them afterwards.

• Long messages on footer

Click on the message and hold the mouse button. After moving the mouse to the left side.

• Direct input logs

The transaction BMV0 (direct input logs) shows all direct input logs.

• Graphics on SAPscript

The program RSTXLDMC can be used to upload graphics (file extension .tif on PC files) into individual standard text.

• Adding icons

The include «ICON» can be easily used in your programs. All icons can be checked through the transaction ICON. Sequences of characters begin and finish with the symbol @. Even plain files under operating system can contain those strings.

• Adding symbols

The include «SYMBOL» can be easily used in your programs. It makes available a great number of symbols.

• Filling up an empty date field quickly

Strike the key F4 (or click on matchcode symbol) and press ESCAPE. The current date is automatically set.

• Setting up module FI/CO without using IMG

Almost all parameters can be set using the transactions ORFA (Asset Accounting), ORFB (Financial Accounting), and ORKS (Cost Center Accounting).

• Deleting cost elements and cost centers

Since they have no postings you can use the transaction KA04 for deleting cost elements and KS04 for deleting cost centers.

• Displaying check object when not authorized

Soon after the lock try to access the transaction SU53. It reports the last objects verified and also the respective values.

• Table analyses between two systems

The contents of a table between two systems can be checked through the transaction OY19.

• Correction and transport system

             The transaction SE10 provides the easiest way to manage any request/transport and         

             corrections

This ABAP rings the bell on any chosen pc, that has a sapgui connected to SAP

Send Purchase Order by mail to vendor in SAP

This blog explains the steps involved in SAP ECC to send purchase order by email to a vendor as an attachment. Sending Purchase order by email to a vendor is called as "External Send" in SAP. Follow this Steps


1. mail address of the vendor should be maintained in the vendor master data while creating the vendor using Transaction code XK01, if vendor is already created maintain the email address using Transaction code XK02.

2. Maintain email address in your "own data", to ensure that the process has a sent from your email address (system>User Profile>Own Data).
Note: It is not possible to change the vendor email address permanently with standard purchase order transaction code ME21N or ME22N, we can maintain temporary only, for permanent change use transaction codes XK02 or MK02.

3. For output type default values, a communication strategy has to be maintained in the customization.
Menu path for communication strategy: (SPRO >IMG >SAP Web Application Server > Basic Services >Message Control > Define Communication Strategy). Here default value is communication structure is CS01 and communication type is INT (email), after configuration of relevant communication structure and communication type, we can find these entries in table TCSTRP.

4. Use standard SAP Program "SAPFM06P" FORM routine "ENTRY_NEU" and form "MEDRUCK" as processing routines for output type (ex NEU-Purchase order). For additional functionalities copy this program and smart form in to Z Program and Z form (Ex: Z_PO_PRINT and Z_PURCHASE_ORDER) and maintain these against output type (Ex: ZNEU-PO Email) by using transaction code NACE, For subject of the email goto Mail Title and Texts. In title give PO No. &EKKO-EBELN&

5. In order trigger the output type automatically in PO maintain the condition record using transaction code MN04 for output type, use medium as '5' (External send).

6. Use SCOT transaction code to trigger the output manually In SCOT transaction under INT double click on node SMTP and maintain SMTP connection.

  Mail Host: (IP address of the mail server)
  Mail Port :25
  Code Page: 4110 unicode UTF-8.(Example)
  Click on SET tab against the Internet check box and maintain
  SAPscript/Smart Forms: PDF or TXT as per requirement.

7. Status of the External send document can be seen in transaction code SOST.

Copy characteristics 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.

How to use MS Word Mail merge for mass update in SAP

This article explains the step by step, a simple and effective trick to do mass updates/creations on SAP configurations. In many cases this can potentially save couple of days. Conceptually it is very simple. Many IT professionals know how to use mail merge. For an SAP consultant, BDC is not a news. This will explain the steps to create a BDC session using recording and mail merge. 1. Prepare the dataFirst step is to prepare your data. It is easy to explain using an example. We will use IMG configuration for MRP Controller. We will use Name and telephone field of the MRP controller. The data to be created will be created as an excel sheet. Let us save this file as mrpc.xls

Next step is to create the recording. Before proceeding, decide your naming conventions. This will help you in troubleshooting and analysis. We will be creating 3 files, The basic recording as a text file The mail merge document as a word document Finally the merged bdc session as a text file. I use r_xxxx .txt (xxxx tcode or some other meaningful name) for basic recording, mm_xxxx.doc for the mail merge document and bdc_xxxx.txt for the merged session. To create the recording, you need to know the tcode. Most of the consultants are used to navigating using menu. Some experienced consultants know the tcodes by heart. It is easy to find the tcode. In the IMG screen>Additional Information>Additional Information>Display Key>IMG Activity. This will display the tcode of the specific IMG activity. 
Another point before actually proceeding to create the recording, it is better to create one MRP controller normally to create the transport request. If the transport request is already created or if you can create the transport request manually then this is not required. Create the recording using the tcode SHDB. IN SHDB>New Recording, enter recording name and the tcode OMD0. Click Start Recording. You will get the actual MRP Controller maintenance screen. Create a new MRP Controller. When the transaction is completed, you will see the recording in the SHDB screen. Export the transaction to the desktop as a text file r_OMD0.txt. Next step is to prepare the mail merger document. Open r_omd0.txt in ms word. You will see the text wrapped in 2 lines looking clumsy. 
Not to worry. Select File>page Setup. Choose paper size A3, orientation landscape and all margins as 2.5cm. EDIT>Select all and change font size to 6. If the display is very small, change zoom setting to 150%. 

2. Mail Merge With the file in the MS Word, select menu option tools>mail merge. Click on create and select form letters. Select active window to use the current document. The Get data button will become active now. Click get data>open data source and select your excel file you created in step 1 (mrpc.xls). A window will appear with the button . Click on this button will take you to the main document. In this step you have to link the excel sheet fields to the place in document, so when the mail merge is executed, the main document contents are repeated for each record in the excel sheet replacing the linked field with values from excel sheet. The mailmerge tool bar should appear. If not select view>toolbars>mail merge. All the fields that needs to be linked will be in the right hand side end in the recording. Highlight the plant number, click on from the tool bar and select plant. The plant number will be replaced with <>, indicating that it is a merge field. Like this insert the merge fields where ever required. Sometimes the same fields might appear in multiple lines. The merge field needs to inserted in all the lines. Now click on button, enter the parameters in the window and click in the window. A new document window will open and create the merged document. Save this file as text document. You can use md_omd0.txt as the naming convention.
3. Run the Update Login to configuration client and run tcode SHDB>new recording. Enter a name in recording field and leave the transaction code field blank and click on green tick. Click on icon to import the recording. In the file open dialog select the text file created in step 2 (md_omd0.txt). Click to run the bdc session.

How To Change Title of SAP Transaction Code

Sometimes, you may need to change the Title of the SAP Transaction code to a more meaningful one.

The steps are as follows:

Goto tcode SE63 ,On the top left Menu of the screen – Click Translation —> Short texts – –> Transactions

For example, assuming you want to change the title of the t-code su10 from user maintenance: Mass changes Initial Screen to Mass User changes . On the first screen, fill in the following information:

Transaction code – SU10

Source Language – English

Target Language – English

To change the Title, click the Edit button. On the second line (the one in dark yellow), type in the Title (For e.g. Mass User changes) you want for the transaction code. Click the Save button

Now, call up the transaction code /nSU10 again and you should be able to view the new Title

SAP Logon screen or SAP wallpaper

step 1: save a image in gif format with z or y intial letter

step 2: goto tcode smw0

step 3: select Binary data

step 4: click find button

step 5: click execute

step 6: goto settings > maintain MIME type

step 7: click create > type =*.gif >extension =.GIF click ok and then go back

step 8: click create >OBJ Name=name of image with extension>desc=any>click import

step 9: select image click local object

step 10: tcode sm30

table name >SSM_CUST click maintain
enter parameter RESIZE_IMAGE value =no
START_IMAGE value =name of object name / image name with extention (in capiatl letter)

step 11: click save

step 12: logof ans login again and see

SAP OSS Notes

What are SAP Notes? Where do I can find them? How to use it?


OSS is the online service system provided by SAP for support activities, like sometimes some issues which we can't resolve, then we have to send it to SAP, it is only sent through OSS and then SAP will login to our servers for doing the R&D of the issue.
SAP notes are the update information in SAP, frequently released by SAP.
It is SAP's method of Online Support System.
OSS notes are online documents published by SAP in their web site 


http://service.sap.com, aimed to take care of the following:


- Product errors
- Product modifications
- Product upgrades
- FAQs
- Consulting notes
- Customizing notes etc.
The notes contain, among other things, program corrections, methods for table/field additions, deletions /corrections, customization changes etc.
Once in a year or so, SAP comes out with upgrades which will include many of the notes issues between the provious upgrade and once being issues.
Certain notes (which are limited to code correction) can be implemented in a simple way using transaction SNOTE.
Other notes which include customization changes , field/table corrections need to be implemented manually.


If you have the access you can view from http://service.sap.com


OSS notes are the corrections and suggestions given by SAP for standard objects(Like programs, Function modules).


Oss notes provide either information or corrections to the customer.
Some notes contain critical information about the component and have to be used in addition to the component guides that are delivered to the customer.
Some other notes provide corrections to the code as a fix before a support package is released. The subsequent SPs contain the corrections that were delivered through notes before.  Hence it is important to check the current SP level of your system and the SP level with which the corrections come before applying the notes.
Some notes provide just manual corrections (in which case the procedure to make the manual corrections also need to be specified in the notes) and other provide automatic corrections (which are applied through TA SNOTE).
The notes can be searched or downloaded at http://service.sap.com/notes
