MDG DQM: Troubleshooting DQM validation rules for central governance - Product Master S/4 HANA

INTRODUCTION

In this blog post we will cover a few steps on how we can troubleshoot the BRF+ validations which is the underlying framework for MDG DQM. This module of MDG is still evolving rapidly as we move towards cloud first and a clean core approach. As MDG developers we are still pretty comfortable with classical BADI's for doing validations and we all know it's quite easy to troubleshoot the rules. But when it comes to DQM we might wonder how do my rules get called? how can i troubleshoot my rules if they are not working as expected? 

So let's see how we can troubleshoot the rules.

Inventory Aging Trend with S/4HANA Embedded Analytics

Inventory aging trend with S/4HANA embedded analytics? Hmm…Sounds like data warehousing  snapshot requirement. Actually S/4HANA inventory data model supports key date concept (with some limitation) making it possible trend analysis.

Example below demonstrates one of possible use cases – month to month comparison showing changes across different aging ranges

Unmanaged Query in Root View Entities

Introduction

In the context of the Restful ABAP Programming Model, when you think about an Unmanaged Query, you’re mostly thinking of a Custom Entity. In this blog post, I would like to introduce a method to implement an Unmanaged Query in combination with a Core Data Service (CDS) Root View Entity. I want to explain the advantages and disadvantages using a specific example.

“Unlocking EDI Flexibility: A Customizable ABAP Journey in SAP”

Enhancing EDI Processing with Customizable ABAP Code

In the realm of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), flexibility and adaptability are paramount. In this post, we will explore a robust ABAP code for handling EDI files, specifically in the context of SAP systems. The code is designed to be customizable, allowing for seamless integration with various client-specific EDI scenarios.

Customizing the Main Table

Creating custom DANFE | Output Management | S/4 HANA Public Cloud Edition | release 2308

Introduction

In S/4 HANA Public Cloud, we exclusively work with Adobe Forms to handle standard or customized forms. To develop a customized form, it is necessary to customize it using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and apply some settings in the environment so that the form in question can be used. I bring an example with one of the most requested forms by clients: the dear DANFE.

Encrypted E-mail Attachment Pdf

I am delighted to communicate my enthusiasm regarding the proposed measure to enhance the security of the payroll envelope mail that is slated for transmission within the Human Resources (HR) module. This enhancement involves the implementation of encryption to fortify the confidentiality and integrity of the sensitive information contained in the payroll documentation.

I have employed a third-party tool supplied by ‘VeryPDF‘ to implement PDF encryption with a password.

Specifically, the ‘Encrypt PDF Command Line‘ tool from VeryPDF facilitates the encryption of PDFs with a password through the Windows Command Prompt. We can easily trigger that tool from SAP. It is noteworthy that a trial version is available for testing purposes.

SAP Business Workflow – Trigger Workflow Behind Tcode: CJ20N

There was a requirement in a project that the users wants to control project creation with workflow. Project Builder (CJ20N) screen does not have standard workflow process working behind. First of all we need to find the triggering event works behind Project Builder (CJ20N) screen. In my case I need to start workflow process after creating project.

In this blog I will show you how to reach the standard class, events and event parameters to trigger and design a workflow.

SAP BTP ABAP Environment – Pre-Upgrade Option for Release 2402

Overview

Providing a significant number of new features is an important goal of release upgrades to deliver innovations to our customers and partners.

An upgrade is intended as a “no event” for customers and partners. For example, only compatible changes of released objects (APIs) will be delivered. But we recommend performing a test of the custom-built productive apps in a test environment for the new release. The complexity of the technical dependencies between the custom-built apps and the underlying environment cannot be tested isolated, only including the ABAP environment on SAP side. Therefore, we offer you to upgrade selected systems 15 days in advance to test the applications prior to the planned standard-upgrade.
