Using the ViewPoint MM Module

IntroductionThe ViewPoint modules are constructed in modular form and cover the application modules FI, SD, MM, CO, etc. with a special program package for exactly this application. You can easily see from the name which ViewPoint module belongs to which SAP module: FI, SD, MM, CO, etc. All ViewPoint modules have in common that they can be easily installed in the SAP R/3 system via the SAP transport utilities "tp" and "SAINT". Installation details of the ViewPoint modules are in the EMC ViewPoint for SAP Modules Installation Manual.

This administration manual was written to make construction and administration of the ViewPoint MM Module as easy as possible. At first, data archiving with transaction SARA is discussed; the second topic is the ViewPoint index construction from the SAP archive files.

The EMC ViewPoint for SAP Modules Utilities User Manual contains additional module information.



Display transactionsThe ViewPoint MM Module provides the user in the online operation with purchasing documents which have been removed from the R/3 database by the document reorganization with transaction SARA. In the same way, migrated R/2 documents can be displayed as well, which have been transferred into the ViewPoint module, as detailed in the EMC ViewPoint for SAP Purchasing Module Administration Manual. Version 2.0 provides the display transactions listed in Table 1-1, “Transactions of ViewPoint MM Module and corresponding SAP original transactions,” reading not only documents from the operative tables of the SAP system but also documents from the ViewPoint archive.

be called by indicating the ViewPoint transaction code or integrated in the menu ’Purchasing.’

Not only in the single displays ((/PBS/ME23, /PBS/ME33, /PBS/ME33K, /PBS/ME33L) but also in the list displays the documents from the ViewPoint MM Module are marked with the symbol ’*’.

Please keep in mind that, in contrast to the SAP original, the printing transaction /PBS/ME90 cannot be used to make updates on the database table NAST. The printout can be made with or without consideration of the message status. In the mode without consideration of the message status it is especially possible to print also SAP R/2 documents migrated to the ViewPoint MM Module.

You do not have to know the names of the transactions as all ViewPoint transactions can be called via the menu, as shown in Figure 1-1, “ViewPoint SAP menu.”

Figure 1-1 ViewPoint SAP menu

If you use more than one ViewPoint program package, you can start for the releases 3.0 and 4.5 via the main menu transaction /PBS/MAIN, from there via function > Material Management you get to the submenu for the control of the ViewPoint MM Module. If you only use the ViewPoint MM Module you can start directly via the menu transaction /PBS/CMM. From 4.6 you use start menu /PBS/S000 which corresponds to the SAP standard menu S000 after entering the SAP system. The only difference is the additional mode "ViewPoint modules". From this mode you get via the menu points Logistic > Material Management > Purchasing to the node ViewPoint MM Module which controls the ViewPoint MM Module.


1-6


To be able to use menu /PBS/S000, please enter it in your users master, as shown in Figure 1-2, “ViewPoint MM Module menu.”

Figure 1-2 ViewPoint MM Module menu

From 4.6 the main menu /PBS/PBS and menu /PBS/CMM (material management functions) can be integrated into the existing activity group (4.6B) or into roles (from 4.6C), as shown in Figure 1-3, “Archive menu.”

Figure 1-3 Archive menu



Integration into the menu purchasing

The menu purchasing of the area MM (menu ME00) in the release 4.0 is to be updated. This is to be updated in the following positions:

Tools > ABAP/4 Workbench > Development > More tools > Range menu update > Menu ME00.

Analogue to transaction SE43, as shown in Figure 1-4, “Purchasing menu ME00 with ViewPoint CMM Module.”

Figure 1-4 Purchasing menu ME00 with ViewPoint CMM Module

For the integration of the archive submenu into the menu 'Purchasing' several steps are necessary:

� In the table TADIR you have to qualify the source system to <SID> (e.g., C11) and the edit flag to 'R' for the object 'R3TR TRAN ME00'.

� For the release 3.0 you have to enter then a key for the update of the object 'R3TR PROG MENUME00'. You must apply for this key with SAP, the easiest way to do this is by addressing the OSS (Online Service System).

� Repeat step a for the object 'R3TR PROG MENUME00'.

Then you are authorized to update the purchasing menu ME00.

Transaction material purchase orders

In this section we discuss the example of the archive transaction /PBS/ME2M, displaying the material purchase orders. The transactions /PBS/ME2L, /PBS/ME2N, /PBS/ME3L, and /PBS/ME3M are analogue in display and handling.


1-8


/PBS/ME2M Figure 1-5, “Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME2M,” shows the request screen of the transaction /PBS/ME2M.

Figure 1-5 Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME2M

Besides the standard delimitations, the screen mask contains a further delimitation specific for the archive module.

Select data source The transaction /PBS/ME2M can display data from the archive and the SAP database. To select the data source please use the parameter '1=Arch. +Database 2=Db (=database) 3=Arch (=archive)'. By entering the corresponding number 1, 2 or 3. Vendor orders are displayed either from the R/3 database, the archive or both data sources. For example, if you search for all operations you should qualify this parameter with '3' as you can thus save database accesses to the SAP files and reduce the general load on the system.



List If all delimitations have been entered correctly, the system provides a list displaying the requested order regarding the material. Figure 1-6, “List of transaction /PBS/ME2M,” shows such a list.

Figure 1-6 List of transaction /PBS/ME2M

The list screen is analogue to the transaction ME2M, however, bears in addition the archived indicator.

Archive indicator You can see from the last column if the displayed order is contained in the archive module or in the SAP database. In the first case the last column contains the symbol '*'; otherwise it is empty. Figure 1-6, “List of transaction /PBS/ME2M,” displays the data from the residence and from the archive module.

Document display By moving the cursor to a document and pressing the left mouse key twice, you branch off into the transaction 'Display Purchase Orders'. If the selected document is still in the SAP database you branch off to the SAP transaction ME23. If the selected order is contained in the


1-10


archive you branch off to the transaction /PBS/ME23, displaying the archived document in analogy to the transaction ME23.

Printing of documents from the archive module

There are two possibilities to print purchasing documents from your ViewPoint MM Module. On the one hand you can export your document via the transaction /PBS/ME90 to a printer. On the other hand, you can start directly the main report /PBS/RM06ENDR of the transaction /PBS/ME90.

/PBS/RM06ENDR You use this report to print documents of the ViewPoint MM Module. For this purpose, please enter the document number of the purchasing document you want to print. Figure 1-7, “Selection screen of printing program /PBS/RM06ENDR,” shows the entry mask of the report.

Figure 1-7 Selection screen of printing program /PBS/RM06ENDR

By activating the parameter 'Transfer to optical archive', users of an optical archive can print any purchase order archived in CMM directly in the optical archive. The printed purchase order form can then be displayed without problems using the ViewPoint transaction /PBS/ME23 (display purchase order) Environment > Display originals.



Figure 1-8, “Creation of original document,” shows an original document created this way which is based on an archived R/2 purchase order which was never posted in the R/3 database.

Figure 1-8 Creation of original document

Transaction purchase requisition regarding account assignment

In this section we discuss the example of the archive transaction /PBS/ME5K, displaying the purchase requisitions for the different account assignments. The transaction /PBS/ME5A (purchase requisitions regarding purchase requisition number respectively requisition note number) is analogue with regard to display and handling.


1-12


/PBS/ME2M Figure 1-9, “Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME5K,” shows the request screen of the transaction /PBS/ME5K.

Figure 1-9 Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME5K

Besides the standard delimitations, the screen contains a further delimitation specifically for the archive module.

Select data source The transaction /PBS/ME5K can display data from the archive and the SAP database. For the selection of the data source the parameter '1=Res+Archiv 2=Res (=database) 3=Archive' is to be used. By entry of the corresponding number 1, 2 or 3 the orders regarding the vendor are displayed either from the R/3 database, the archive or from both data sources. For example, when searching for old business transactions this parameter should be qualified with '3', as, this way, you can save the database accesses to the SAP files, thus reducing the general load on the system.



List If all delimitations have been entered correctly the system shows a list displaying the requested purchase requisition regarding a cost center. Figure 1-10, “List of transaction /PBS/ME5K,” shows such a list.

Figure 1-10 List of transaction /PBS/ME5K

The list screen is analogue to the transaction ME2M, but bears the archive indicator.

Archive indicator You can see from the last column if the displayed order is in the archive module or in the SAP database. In the first case, the last column contains the symbol '*'. Otherwise, the column is empty. Figure 1-10, “List of transaction /PBS/ME5K,” therefore, shows not only data from the residence but also data from the archive module.

Document display By moving the cursor to a document and pressing the left mouse key twice, you branch off into the transaction 'Display purchase requisitions'. If the selected document is still in the SAP database you branch off into the SAP transaction ME53. If the selected order is in the archive you branch off to the transaction /PBS/ME53, displaying the document in analogy to the transaction ME53.


1-14


Transaction vendor purchasing info records

In this section we discuss archive transaction /PBS/ME1L showing the vendor purchasing infor records an example. Transactions /PBS/ME1M (material purchasing info records), /PBS/ME1W (material group purchasing info records), are similar regarding design and handling.

/PBS/ME1L Figure 1-11, “Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME1L,” shows the request screen of transaction /PBS/ME1L.

Figure 1-11 Entry screen of transaction /PBS/ME1L

In addition to the standard delimiations, the screen mask contains one more delimiations which is specific for the archive module.

Select data source Transaction /PBS/ME1L can display the data from the archive and the SAP database. For the selection of the data source parameter '1=Res+Archive 2=Res (=database) 3=Archive' is used. By entering the corresponding number 1, 2, or 3 the vendor purchasing info records are either displayed from the R/3 database, the archive or from both data sources. For example, when searching for old operations this parameter should be qualified with '3', as you can



thus save database accesses to the SAP files and reduce the general load on the system.

List If all delimiations have been entered correctly the system provides a list displaying the requested vendor purchasing info records. Figure 1-12, “List of transaction /PBS/ME1L,” shows such a list.

Figure 1-12 List of transaction /PBS/ME1L

Transaction invoice documents

In this section we discuss archive transaction /PBS/CMM. You can use this transaction to display a list of invoice documents from the archive and the SAP database.


1-16


/PBS/CMM13 Figure 1-13, “Initial screen of transaction /PBS/CMM13,” shows the request screen of transaction /PBS/CMM13.

Figure 1-13 Initial screen of transaction /PBS/CMM13

Select data source The data source can be selected with the parameter 1=DB + Archive, 2=DB and 3=Archive. Then the resulting list contains data either from database or from archive or from both data sources which corresponds to the entered selection criteria (document number, posting date, vendor, purchase number or material).



List Figure 1-14, “Transaction /PBS/CMM13 list,” shows a list of invoice documents originated by transaction /PBS/CMM13.

Figure 1-14 Transaction /PBS/CMM13 list

Via double-click you can go to transaction /PBS/MR3M, whose functionality is similar to the SAP transaction MR3M.


1-18


/PBS/MR3M Figure 1-15, “Invoice document of transaction /PBS/MR3M,” displays an invoice document originated from an archived R/2 purchase order.

Figure 1-15 Invoice document of transaction /PBS/MR3M

Transaction price comparison list

Since ViewPoint release 4.6C the transaction /PBS/ME49 is a new component of the ViewPoint MM Module. This transaction allows the comparison of Quotations in a Purchasing organization from archive and from database.



Figure 1-16, “Initial screen of transaction /PBS/ME49,” shows the initial screen of transaction /PBS/ME49.

Figure 1-16 Initial screen of transaction /PBS/ME49

Figure 1-17, “Services listing output,” shows a comparison list of the selected Quotation in the given currency.

Figure 1-17 Services listing output


1-20


The listing will vary depending on the Quotation selection in Figure 1-18, “Service specifications.”

Figure 1-18 Service specifications

The "Services" listing with more than one selection can only be made when the Quotations are compatible with one another.



Figure 1-19, “Service specifications,” shows the service specifications of the selected "Services."

It is possible to see the additional information from the selected Quotations by selecting the "Additional info" button in Figure 1-18, ”Service specifications,” on page 1-20 and Figure 1-19, “Service specifications.”

Figure 1-19 Service specifications


1-22


Adjustment of customer reports

Logical databases If you want to write your own evaluations for purchasing documents from the residence and the ViewPoint CMM Module or if you want to extent already existing evaluations to the archive module, the following logical databases are available:

� /PBS/EKM — purchase order re account assignment

� /PBS/ENM — purchase order re purchase order number

� /PBS/ECM — purchase order re material group

� /PBS/ELM — purchase order re vendor number

� /PBS/EMM — purchase order re material number

� /PBS/IFM — purchasing info records

� /PBS/BAM — purchase requisition re purchase requisition number

� /PBS/BKM — purchase requisition re account assignment

� /PBS/YAM — SAP archive sequentially

� /PBS/MEPOLDP — selection of purchasing tables (from 4.6B)

In all cases it is possible to restrict the selection also to the archive module.

Access via conversion tool

ABAP reports, accessing the R/3 database via the SELECT command, can be modified with the ViewPoint Conversion Tool in a way that they can also access the data from the ViewPoint module. For this purpose, function module /PBS/SELECT_INTO_TABLE (respectively 3.x: SELECT_PBS_INTO_TABLE) is used, accessing the archive module and returning in an internal table the data records of the requested table.

The EMC ViewPoint for SAP Modules Utilities User Manual contains additional information.
