How do we cancel a contract (reverse move in), if the invoice associated with the contract has been archived?
Standard SAP calls for reversing all invoices if the move in is being reversed. If the invoices in question has been archived, is there a workaround to reverse the move in?
Any inputs on practices followed will be appreciated.

The periodic I changed to an estimate (due to the inside meter reading differently than the outside meter) but the final read is an actual read. When I invoiced the account and pushed it through the EA19, I only had the 4 installations. I am not sure why the estimated final bill message is appearing on this quarterly invoice. See screenshot.
Hi experts,
Can any one please let me know what is the difference between "Document line type 1" (DLT1) "Line item type 2" (LIT2)and "Document line type 3" (DLTy3) which is mentioned in Rate steps?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi everyone.
Im creating new migration project and im facing the following issue: when I try to convert the input file, I always get ABAP short dump saying: "When accessing the file "c:\test\test.tst", the system recognized that the file is not open. Therefore, the file cannot be accessed". The error is in the ABAP program SAPLEMIG_FILE.
I have only one migration object in the project. I have coppied the migration object from SAP reference company, as usual. I created a text file which consists of &INFO line, one set of data and its concluded with &ENDE command. The file is tab delimited text file.
What I tried so far:
- running the conversion through transaction EMIGALL, choosing migration object, then "Data import" from the "Migration object" menu, and then "Convert migration file" from "Utilities" menu
- running the program REMIG_FILE_TRANSFORM from SE38 transaction
- converting the file which is uploaded from the workstation (option: Input is local file)
- converting the file which was put on server (option: Input is text file)
- changing the user rights of the server folder (both input and output folders)
- making input and output folder the same, distinguishing the file extensions
- changing the content of the file (although the file should be ok, since Ive used the structure more than once)
- I get the same error when I click on "Create file" icon on "Data import" screen on the EMIGALL transaction
When I check the server folder, SAP actually created the needed file (lets call it test.tst in this example), but its size is 0 and it never contains anything.
Did anyone had a situation like this or has some ideas on solving this issue?
Thanks!
Marko

Hi Experts,
There is an issue we are facing while replicating bank details in BP from CRM to ECC.
BP is created in CRM with a custom role (The custom role is copied from the standard role "Sold to Party") and it is successfully replicated to ECC.
In ECC, Contract partner role (MKK) is assigned to the BP so that contract account can be created.
In this scenario, when bank details (IBAN) are updated in the BP in CRM, such bank information is not getting updated in the same BP in ECC side.
We have checked through T code SMW01 in CRM and it is showing an error "Validity of role MKK must not be restricted".
But if we check the validity of BP in MKK role in ECC, it is till 31.12.9999.
Bank details replication is working correctly if the BP is in the same role in both CRM and ECC.
Can someone please advise us as to what is causing this error? Is it due to the fact that role of the BP in CRM is different from the role in ECC?
Thanks in advance,
Anwesha.
My car is now 17 years old, close to 200k kms, I love it and keep it running. Of course, maintenance and repair is an ongoing issue. Recently, the ‘check engine’ light came on and it stays on. Of course, I could go to an auto repair shop and simply throw money at it. But that bothers me, I'd like to understand what the problem might be. The orange 'check engine' light means that the engine control unit decided there is a significant problem based on sensor data. All cars sold in the US since ’96 and the EU since ’01 must have a standardized onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) that collects error codes and shows the yellow warning light in case of major trouble. I would like to know the details, then do some research and decide if I try to fix it myself. Reading in a car forum, one guess is that the oxygen sensors are worn (easy to fix) or the catalytic converters need to be replaced (exceeds what I can do). But that’s all guess work, if I could only read the error codes. There are 100+ possible detailed codes like ‘P0135 Oxygen O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 1)’ but all I can see is an orange light in the dashboard. The OBD-II connector in my car is easily accessible next to the cup holder, but I don’t have a way to use it.
What are my options, which solutions are out there?
If I went to a dealership to have it diagnosed, it is $100 for a one time reading of trouble codes and they probably give me the translation of what they suggest to do, not even directly the error codes. They would have connected the interface with a cable to a station or a device in fancy tool case. Those diagnose units are 100s or 1,000s of $.
If I bought a small unit, the cost is $100 - 300, but there are some functional limitations what I read, the usability is low and if there was any trouble, I could only return the unit and get a different one.
Or I could buy an OBD-II adaptor cable for a PC and software for about $50 – 100. I would need to borrow a laptop from my daughter because unfortunately this type of software runs on Windows only.
But there is a new mobile solution. I can buy a small standard OBD-II adapter with Wifi or Bluetooth plus a mobile app than can do all of what I need, the cost is $15 for the adapter and $15 for the app. The risk is low, countless reviews in a car forum suggest it works. Why would I go for any of the other options? I can’t believe it, it’s only $30 to diagnose the engine control unit directly in the car with my phone from now on. It uses the least amount of additional hardware. This is the newest solution on the market and it comes in first.
Mobile wins - why?
Mobility is part of what IDC calls the 3rd platform (cloud, social and big data are the other parts). Almost all new application development is on the 3rd platform. Compared to classic applications, mobile solutions are typically simplified, highly usable, cross platform, standardized and easy to deploy. That makes them superior. The term ‘mobile first’ is used very often now but I think it is rather a ‘3rd platform’ first.
The ‘how to read and reset car trouble codes’ mobile solution above is clearly a 3rd platform solution if you look at the context. It’s a standard mobile app, it’s marketed and supported via a forum (social & cloud) and I got it from an app store onto my phone (cloud).
The solution is somewhere between a consumer scenario and a professional one with the path to replace the professional solutions. It’s not available in the typical car parts store and the big dealership might not use it because they still have the old diagnostic units from 1996 or so. But if they needed to service or replace their old unit, again, why would they invest hundreds or thousands if the new solution is better?
It’s not very different in the enterprise business context. Think about what it takes to roll out a new solution for maintenance, field service or reporting to employees or contractors. Compare the traditional ‘not 3rd platform’ solution including client server, desktop, etc. to a ‘3rd platform’ one using mobile, cloud, social and big data.
How do we from SAP industry solutions look at mobile solutions?
We use the same approach: You want to improve a process or solve a business problem? Together we go into details using personas and understand the context and the expected user experience by an employee, customer or partner. Then we look at standard applications, platforms, integration, application enhancements or development, security and deployment options and present a solution. Now in most cases, the solution includes or is a 3rd platform solution.
Our mobile portfolio shows this very well, it has evolved and will continue to change. If you are interested to learn more, please contact me or join a workshop. The next one is at the International SAP Conference for Utilities in April in Berlin, Germany:

hi,
I tried to upload meter reads on a device with current actual read being less than previous read. If I do it through EL28 - previous estimated read is adjusted and new read becomes plausible (i.e. Assess workflow is triggered). Is there any parameter in BAPI_MTRREADDOC_UPLOAD which enables evaluation/triggering of assess workflow for relevant reads?

Hello all,
we have a UCES web application active. If new user registered, the user data was per remote ABAP program (on SAP Netweaver Application Server ABAP 7.40) saved in Java UME (SAP Netweaver Application Server Java 7.40). The remote ABAP program has only declaration, no implementation. So I think, the remote ABAP program calls a service on Java Server over JCo connection. I found the JCo connection. But die configuration between the remote ABAP program and the java service I could not find. Could someone tell me how to find it? thx.
best regards,

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in FICA. If the users are clicking Authorize button in FPCD transaction more than once, transaction is completing with blank Authorization Number. So I need to deactivate / disable the Authorize button once the user clicked the button.
How can we to do this? Is this requiring a code change or Config change will be enough?
Or is there any other way to handle this?

Hi All
I'm evaluating a proposed change to the use of the BB Proc field on the Contract Account - FKKVKP-KZABSVER. We currently bill bi-monthly, and have an enhancement that auto-changes the value from 00 to 03 when customer requests BPP, and a 2nd enhancement that reverts it when the plan is de-activated.
We are now switching to monthly billing and also want to limit the creation of BPP to residential accounts. The plan is to remove both enhancements and perform a mass update to switch all non-BPP residential accounts from 00 to 03.
Having the value preset will allow users to create BPP without an enhancement or extra manual work, and with the value being 00 for non-residential accounts the plan creation is prevented unless there's some back office intervention.
While the possible values in the field aren't changing, the meaning of those values is, which I believe is technically "overloading", and I'm concerned about downstream impacts.
Can anyone advise as to what those impacts might be, or am I worrying un-necessarily.
Thanks
Astrid
Hi all.
While testing the IS-U data migration using EMIGALL transaction I came to a strange error.
In the PARTNER migration object, Im using TAXNUM automatic structure, as I want to import tax numbers for the business partners Im importing. I enabled/generated four fields: TAXTYPE, TAXNUM, CHIND_TAX and INTERNAL. When I either import/convert a file or I manualy enter the values, I get the error "Enter a tax number for the tax category". In EMIGALL, Im entering the following data: defined tax category in the TAXTYPE field, correct tax number in to TAXNUM field, "I" (as Insert) in the CHIND_TAX field and "X" (as enabled) in the INTERNAL field.
Meanwhile, while I start the BP transaction and create a business partner using the same data that I enter in the EMIGALL transaction, business partner gets created and I can enter the tax numbers. Its the same if I want to import one or more tax numbers per business partner.
Tax categories are defined (I checked IMG - Cross-Application Components - SAP Business Partner - Business Partner - Basic Settings - Tax Numbers - Maintain Tax Number Categories). I have entered the correct data (I have also tryed turning the checks off in OY17).
There is one strange thing I noticed:
- when I check the BP transaction, tab "Identification", the tax number field is TAXNUML
- when I check the DFKKBPTAXNUM table (via SE11), the tax number field (for the records manualy entered through the BP transaction) is TAXNUM
I have checked and imlpemented note 2058367 but it didnt change anything regarding import process and error.
Has anyone come to a similar error or has some ideas on what to check or how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Marko
