Basic Packing process

Example: You want to pack a material - MTS in Packaging material – PACK1.

Create Packing Material: T-code - MM01, create material type=VERP - PACK1

1. SPRO IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing- Define Packaging Material Types. EG: JPAC.



2. IMG - Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing - Define material group for packaging material. EG: JGRP.
 
 

3. IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing- Define allowed packaging materials JGRP - JPAC MM02:


4. Check settings for the materials

T-code: MM02 - PACK1; Tab Page: Sales: General/Plant


5. Tab Page: Sales: General/Plant




Repeat for the material to be packed. In our case Material MTS
1) Create Packing Instructions (it is like a formula definition -that how you want to pack your material) in
T-code-POP1.
2) Packing determination in T-code - POF1.
T-code - VL01N Outbound Delivery -> Packing Enter the materials at top and at bottom (Select Material - MTS and Edit - Pack). This is how the basic process of packing works.

Invoice number range skipping

There are a number of reasons why gaps in invoice numbers may occur:
1. Number range object is buffered. Please refer to note 62077 for details.
2. Update terminate/short dump occurs while billing document update.- the number is set in to the invoice at the beginning of the program If an interruption of the process happens after the assignation of this number, the number has run in the range and cannot be recovered. Update terminations in transaction VF01 and VF04. The billing document number is reserved prior to the update. After a possible update termination, it cannot be used again. Update terminations are displayed in transaction SM13. At present, there is no possible solution.
3. Incorrect user exit, eg. in Program RV60AFZZ, USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE.
Please check the following notes in order to solve this incidence: 175047 Causes for FI document number gaps (RF_BELEG) 19050 Gaps in document number sequence for billing document.
Unfortunately nothing much can be done on the missing/gaps on invoices as this problem happen randomly & not able to reproduce.
As you might need to answer to the auditor on the gap of the invoices, report RFBNUM00 from note 175047 will help you to display document number gaps to the auditor if in your country the FI document numbers must be assigned continuously. You use this report to document the number gaps and the auditor will accept it.
It is known that in different countries you have to explain document gaps to Legal Authorities. For this reason there is report RFVBER00 to document gaps occurred due to an update termination.
As already stated above report RFVBER00 does only list update terminations that are not older than 50 days (or according to what time is maintained in your system). So it could be that this log has already been cleaned up. It is necessary that these update terminations are documented before the 50 days expire.
Or a second possibility is that the gaps occurred NOT due to an update termination. Gaps without update terminations be (easily) explained. They can be (only) detected via report RFBNUM00. Report RFBNUM00 display these document number gaps for the number range object RF_BELEG.

Deleting old Support Desk messages in SAP-CRM.

Unfortunately it is not that easy to delete old Support Desk messages.As you know every message consists of two messages in reality. The CRM message has to be archived using transaction SARA. The archiving object
is CRM_SERORD. The basis messages cannot be archived because there is no archiving object existing for them. What you can do is to set the deletion flag (status I0076) for every message you do not need any more.
Afterwards you can use report Z_DELETE_BASIC_NOTIFICATIONS provided in the attached note: #566225 Report to delete the basis notifications with deletion flag for CRM test messages alternatively the report CRM_ORDER_DELETE can be used with the following restriction.
Deleting of CRM message with report "crm_order_delete" works only if the item of the CRM message (with exists in the background without being displayed) is not released. But if you are using transactiontype SLF1
for the CRM message the status 'Released' is set for the item as soon as you set the status 'In process' for the message. As 'Completed' is a follow-up status of status 'In process' you cannot delete the CRM messages  anymore using the report.
To set the deletion flag for the basic notification you have to use transaction DNOTIFWL. Here you have to set the status 'complete notificattion' so that it is set to completed. Afterwards you can set the status 'Mark for
deletion' at the same place.
