18 I refer to attachment 1; 3.4 Service 2
“Call-off Resources”, page 12/53 of the
RFP. Did we understand correctly that
you need a detailed CV for every SAP
topic that we offer as “Call-Off
Resource”? Due to the large number of
experts, is it sufficient for you if we will
list the modules / topics we offer? Or
can you specify exactly what resources
you need?
As listed in 3.4 in Attachment 1 please:
- Describe the functional scope of SAP
profiles (e.g., SAP Mobile, SAP Hana,
SAP Data Modelling, SAP Payroll,
SAP GRC, SAP Year End Closing)
that you can offer as Call-off
Resources.
- Describe in detail the qualifications
and experience of the proposed
personnel.
This does not imply to send CVs for
every SAP expert, but to provide a list
of topics covered in the functional
scope and a set of minimum
qualifications and experience that the
proposed personnel will have.
19 I refer to Annex B;
2.1 “Onsite Key Personnel” & 2.3
“Remote Support” page 46/53 of the
RFP. Can you please confirm that the
SLA applies to both onsite and offsite
resources?
The SLA listed in Section 2.3 “Remote
Support” applies to Service 2.3
“Remote Support”.
Service 2.1 will be managed separately
and service levels may be different
depending on assigned activities and
priorities.
20 I refer to Annex B;2.5 “System
Upgrade Support”, page 49/53 of the
RFP. Can you confirm that you
understand under “System Upgrade”
e.g. an upgrade from EHP 7 to EHP 8?

graphic of your system landscape
(release, CPU, storage, etc.)?
21 Do we understand correctly that we will
use the CTBTO ticket system (JIRA)?
Would it also be possible to use a
contractor-internal ticket system?
The ticket system for communication
shall be CTBTO’s Jira system. The
Contractor may use an internal ticket
system for internal processing, but
shall interact with end users and
communicate results via CTBTO’s Jira
system. If possible, an interface
between the ticketing systems can be
implemented.

Solution: Solved by xx
Closed date: 28/May/18 5:35 PM Description
Dear xxx,
Refer to Outline Agreement (OA) 5100000010 (Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 2008-0410) and OA MOA0000074 (Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 2008-0410). It is not possible to link release orders to OA 5100000010, i.e. the CTBTO contract number 2008-0410 and release number do not show on the relevant fields when linking to the OA.
Note that the SAP field Amendment No. shows "2" in OA 5100000010 although it should be "3". (MOA0000074 also shows "2" in the amendment no. field). Both OAs are correctly linked to 2008-0410 in the original PO/contract no. field.
See also screenshots.
Regards, xxx

UPDATE:
PLEASE CHANGE THIS TO HIGH PRIORITY SINCE IT DOES NOT WORK TO CREATE A CONTRACT REFERENCE AND FRD NUMBER WITH MOA0000074, AS WELL! SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE RELEASE OF OA 5100000010 CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, PERHAPS BECAUSE THE INITIAL DOCUMENT IS A MIGRATED DOCUMENT?
Regards, xxx
Comment by xxx [ 15/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
If I understand well your request when you perform the contract release order starting from the OA 5100000010, in the PO POFR some information are not retrieved.
I have tried in CED120 environment to replicate the case using OA 5100000010. OA 5100000010 has “Original PO/Contract No” 2008-0410. OA 5100000010 and OA MOA0000074 (migrated OA) have “Original PO/Contract No” 2008-0410.
Please find the steps below:
1.Run transaction ME33K and insert OA 5100000010
2. Click on Contract --> Follow on Functions --> Contract Release Order
3. I moved the OA item 10 in PO type POFR
4. The PO fields are filled with OA values
If my understanding is correct please let me know which fields you noticed that are not copied from OA to PO.
Otherwise, please provide the steps you performed in order to replicate the case.
Thank you
xxx
Comment by xxx [ 15/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
That is not how we process release orders when we have many items, i.e. manually search for items and drag them in one by one, then manually link them to each PR line one by one. The way we have been working with for years (although the above described method can also be used) is to select FRD as the PO type, drag in all PR lines and then link to the OA line items (note: the current system setup only requires the 1st line to be linked actually). This approach works for other OAs, only this one not. Since both documents have Amendment 2 (which is wrong), I think this is related to the migrated OA causing some issued.
Regards, xxx
Comment by xxx [ 17/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
Thank you for your feedback. I tried to replicate the same case in CED120 environment and in PO type POFR the field “CTBTO PO/Contract no” is correctly retrieved when I link OA. I create a PO type POFR and I drag in the PR. Then I link OA similar to the one you mentioned (same "Orig. PO/Contract no" and "Amendment No"). The field "CTBTO PO/Contract no" of PO is retrieved from OA and it seems that the same "Amendment No" doesn't influence the fields derivation. Please find the steps that I performed in the file word attached “Test in CED120 - OA linked to PO”.
Please let me know if you perform different steps and if you can, please provide some screenshot of your case.
Thank you Kind regards xxx
Comment by xxxs [ 23/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
Steps: 1. Open ME21N
2. With POFR as the PO type selected, drag in approved PR 10010924 into the PO. 3. Link at least first line to latest OA document, i.e. latest contract amendment which is OA 5100000010, which will generate the original contract no. to 2008-0410 and the release order number. 4. Insert at least the mandatory fields so that the PO can be saved 5. Save PO and open it again 6. The contract no. of the OA (2008-0410) is not inserted in the CTBTO contract number field as it should be, AND no release number is generated. Please refer to the attached screenshot. This is how FRDs have been prepared for years.
Regards, xxx
Update: until this is solved, I will use the ZMM_UPLOAD transaction to manually insert the correct contract number and release number.
Comment by xxx [ 24/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
Thank you for your feedback.
I replicated the case in development environment and the issue about missing PO fields derivation occurs when OA is not inserted in the first PO item.
In other words when OA is inserted in the first PO item, PO fields "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" are correctly retrieved; when OA is inserted in the next PO items the PO fields are not retrieved from OA.
In PO 4800001129 the OA 5100000010 has been inserted in PO item 20 and PO fields "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" are not retrieved.
If OA 5100000010 was inserted in PO item 10 the fields "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" were retrieved.
We have involved our technical team in order to retrieve the OA information when it is inserted in any PO items.
In the meanwhile you can insert the OA in the first PO item in order to retrieve the OA information correctly.
I will keep you informed
Please let me know if any clarification is needed
Kind regards
xxx
Comment by xxx [ 24/May/18 ]
Dear xx,
Sorry, I must have overlooked that the PO for some reason had the first line "hidden" at the top and I did not check the item number to the left (probably because the 2nd line highlighted a message so the cursor was set there). Thank you for implementing that in any case!
Regards, xxx
Comment by xxx [ 28/May/18 ]
Dear xxx,
We have implemented a change in the logic in order to retrieve the PO fields "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" when the OA is inserted in any PO items. Before changes, the PO fields "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" were retrieved only if OA was inserted in the first PO item.
Please consider PO 4800000937 in CEQ220.
OA 5300000040 has been inserted in PO item 30 and "CTBTO PO/Contract no" and "Release no" have been correctly retrieved from OA.
Please let me know your feedback and if we can ask the transport in production.
Thank you
xxx

Dear xxx,
This looks fine in CEQ. Please provide xxx with the transport numbers. Thanks.

Dear Xxx,
I've checked the status of the invoice doc. 5105617332 and it shows the same error massage. Annual Budget exceeded by 5,152.97 USD Message N. FMAVC008*
Please assist. Thanks and regards, Xxx
Comment by xxx[ 12/Feb/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
kindly be informed that we have checked the invoice doc. 5105617332 and the error is due to the Exchange Rate difference occurred between the Good Receipt and the Invoice.
The PO has been saved with the exchange rate eur/usd fixed at 0,837, as consequence the GR has been posted with the same ROE. It means that total amount of 108.500 EUR correspond to 129.629,63 USD (108.500 / 0,837).
In the invoice, instead, has been entered as Posting Date the 07.02.2018, when a new ROE has already occurred (0,805):
Therefore, the total amount 108.500 EUR is now equal to 134.782,61USD.
The difference between the old value in USD and the new one (134.782,61 - 108.500 = 5.152,99 USD) is exactly the amount triggered in the "Annual Budget exceeded" error. The error is triggered because the system is trying to allocate this additional amount on the Asset Account, but there is no budget available on this specific combination of Account Assignment (Available Budget - Posting amount = 0 - 5.152,99 = -5.152,99):
In order to solve this issue there are two possible solutions to be evaluated:
1. As mentioned in JIRA WAR-4022, the ROE difference of the Asset Account should be allocated on the Exchange Rate GL Account 163000, as already happens for Material and Service Accounts. At the moment for a reason we haven't identified yet this substitution doesn't occur for some Asset Invoices. Therefore, we have opened a
OSS Message in order to analyze these cases with the help of SAP. As soon as they provide us a proper reply we will understand how to manage also these particular cases.
2. The ROE is triggered by the date entered in the Posting Date, so you can change this date in a previous period where the other ROE (0,837) was still in use. In this way, the invoice will be created without any Exchange Rate difference. For example you can enter as Posting Date the "31.01.2018", that is still opened in the FI Posting Periods.
Kindly Let us have your feedback. Many Thanks,
Best Regards
Xxx

Dear Xxx,
I've tried the second solution, changed the posting date to 31.01.2018, but it still shows the same error message as before. kind regards, Xxx
Comment by xxx [ 15/Feb/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
As discussed, I have deleted DOC. N. 5105617332 (invoice log 40866) and parked new invoice under Doc. 5105617415 with the posting date 31.01.2018. The invoice was created without any exchange rate difference. The issue is resolved. You can close the ticket.
Thank you very much for your assistance and help! Kind regards, Xxx

Please advise.
Thank you,
Xxx

Comment by xxx [ 06/Mar/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
kindly note that this error is related to the closure of the FM posting periods.
From your screenshot we notice that you are trying to post a Purchase Requisition (Value
Type = 50) in 2019.
The FM Posting Period are maintained in transaction FMIR.
Our User ID is not authorized accessing it in CEP but we double checked data in the table FMIUR (Open Interval Rules for updating FM).
In 2019 it is not allowed posting any transaction, since no record exists:
We are going to open relevant time interval in Development environment and then we will release it to you in CEQ for your verifications.
Before start changes, would you confirm if the Value Type 50 "Purchase Requisition" for which you faced the error is the only one that you need to be opened in 2019?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Kind Regards,
Xxx
Comment by Xxx [ 07/Mar/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
Please open it for the Value Types 50 and 51.
Thank you,
Xxx
Comment by Xxx [ 08/Mar/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
Please be informed that the necessary data have been maintained in FMIR transaction and saved in the TR CEDK909964.
It has been moved in CEQ for your verifications before importing in CEP.
In addition, please note that in order to let you creating Purchase Requisition you need also to maintain the transaction FMBOSTAT.
This has been just performed during the Year-End Closing and Fiscal Year Change activities for Year 2018, same should be done for Year 2019.
That activity is in charge of you, as described in the shared guide “FI-FM-GM Annual Closure - Year-End Closing and Fiscal Year Change_User Guide_v1 0_14 12 2017.docx” (saved in the WAR-3860).
Please find below an extract about this point (paragraph 2.11). More details are available in the document:
Through FMBOSTAT transaction users maintain the combination of budget version and
budget status for each fiscal year, where: __
• Version represents an indicator of the available budget. In CTBTO only budget in version 0 can be spent.
• Budget status represents a specific stage of the budgeting lifecycle.
In this transaction it also possible to define Budget address check, if this indicator is set, then only the FM account assignments that were explicitly defined as budget addresses can be used for budgeting
This activity is accounted to the user.
Finally:
• the changes in FMIR have been performed by us and are currently in CEQ. As soon as you will give us your approval we will suggest to Xxx importing in CEP
• the changes in FMBOSTAT are in charge of you. You can follow the User Guide available in WAR-3860.
Should you need any further support from our side please feel free to contact us.
Thank you.

Xxx

Dear Xxx,
We usually run the transaction FMBOSTAT as a part of year opening exercise. For example for 2018 FY we run it in January 2018. But we were able to raise and approve SCs with 2018 FA in 2017.Could you please clarify why for FY 2019 we are doing it now?
Thank you,
Xxx
Comment by Xxx [ 12/Mar/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
please be informed that last year, in the beginning of 2017, we have suggested you to add Version 0 for 2018 in the transaction FMBOSTAT as well, in order to allow you to create Shopping Carts for 2018 already. This year you should perform the same action in order to allow you to create SC in 2019.
We had also update the related User Guide last year with this step.
Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification.
Many Thanks and Kind Regards,

Dear Xxx,
Does it mean that I will run this transaction twice, now and in 2019?
Thank you,

Comment by Xxx [ 12/Mar/18 ]
Dear Xxx,
you can now enter the Version 0 for 2019 in FMBOSTAT, while in the beginning of next year you can insert all the remaining lines for 2019 and the Version 0 for 2020.
I can confirm that you have to execute it twice now but then if you keep doing as highlighted above, for the next years you can execute it only once in the beginning of the year.
