Hi Experts ,

We are facing a buffer related issue with the Resource Planning Assignment in CRM UI .In the RPA , when for any assignment , the status is changed to any other value [ other than Completed ] , it gets updated at the RPA level and also at the item level of the Service order. But only for the Completed status , the staus gets updated at the RPA level but not at the Service order item level.

The issue is coming in our custom code where , when all the assignments are completed ,we are setting the Header staus of the service order to 'Final Confirmation'.  We had raised the issue to SAP and according to them , in the custom code there are lot many Status buffer related updates and that might be creating a problem .

The Call Stack till the custom method where the issue is coming is  -

1)Custom implementation for CRM_WFD_RPA_WFM~Assignment_Modify  : fetches the Appointment details for the assignment .

2) Call back event    Function module    CRM_PARTNER_DETERM_INITIAL_EC

3) Order_Save BADI Implementations

4) Callback events

5)  Z method where the issue is coming.

We tried to implement the code in ORDER_SAVE BADI implementations

In the mentioned method , instead of CRM_ORDER_READ to fetch the assignment details , we tried fetching the assignment details directly from database using CRM_SERVICE_I_READ_DB

We even tried   CRM_ORDER_SAVE and CRM_ORDER_INITIALIZE   for the service order header , before fetching the assignment details.

But none of this worked .

Kindly suggest what can be done to rectify this issue.

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Everyone,

Hope all are doing fine.

Guys i am getting some memory dumps whenever my HCM Consultant is running a retro payroll.

The dumps are as follows.

How to correct the error

    The amount of storage space (in bytes) filled at termination time was:

    Roll area...................... 6238112

    Extended memory (EM)........... 4001259000

    Assigned memory (HEAP)......... 2000720624

    Short area..................... " "

    Paging area.................... 679936

    Maximum address space.......... 18446604152724142095

    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to

    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.

    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following

    keywords:

    "TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED" " "

    "SAPMS380" or "MS380F10"

    "EXTRACT_STRINGS_FROM_SNAP"

    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error

    notification to SAP, include the following information:

    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)

       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File

    (Unconverted)".

    2. Corresponding system log

       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.

       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes

    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File

    (Unconverted)".

    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP

    program: The source code of the program

       In the editor, choose "Utilities->More

    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".

    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which

    actions and input led to the error.

Hi All

We have active plants that use material staging to production orders (261 movements)

We now have a request to material stage in a new plant but to Network demands (281 movements) and not Production order demands (261 movements)

Is this possible? Or does WM-PP interface only work with 261 demands for production orders?

Thanks in advance

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the option "Change production version on error". I have two production versions available, both are validated and can be used. These production versions are assigned to a product.

Now I have two planned orders with the first production version introduced on them. I dispatch one of them and it uses all the available capacity on the first work center assigned to that production version. When I try to dispatch the second one, SAP should try to dispatch on that work center and when impossible it should try to dispatch it at the second work center introduced on the second production version.

The thing is it gives me two errors (Message number CY744) because it has not been able to dispatch the second planned order on the first work center and it is checking the same work center twice. Additionally it gives one information line telling me that SAP has not been able to schedule on the next line (Message number CY444).

Any help?

Thank you all,
