Question for SVT Tracking Programs Using 'Initial' option

[ashish25bp]

Hi Experts,

I have a question on SVT tracking programs RREGCH_FILL & RREGCH_VT.

Currently customer is not fully ready with registration of all the products but he wants SVT to be started on a pilot project basis for only few Products for which the registration is done. The plan is, later as and when the further registrations are done those will be included for SVT tracking.

Here the technical issue is, If I run the RREGCH_FILL or RREGCH_VT program for only few products using 'Initial' option for the very first run with Starting date 01-01-2022 to till date, then this date will be updated in CCRCT_RUN program. Going further, say after few months, when the new products are included in SVT program, I assume I will not be able to track those starting from 01-01-2022. Infact the filling & tracking process will be in ' Delta ' Mode from the last date in CCRCT_RUN table.

Is there any way that can help me overcome this issue?  Can we run program RREGCH_DEL_DATA later at that time and re run the FILL & VT program selecting Initial Run ? 

Thanks 

Ashish

Hello

regarding:

The major issue I see is RREGCH_VT program related. Assume some more products are included in future in SVT program(these will not be a new developed products but existing products only). All this newly added products will have logistic data like Purchase orders / Goods receipts / Production orders etc created through out the year. Can we track the logistic data for those products from beginning of the year even though they are included in SVT program in the middle of the year? Because the CCRCT_RUN table time stamp will be current date in that case how can it track the backdated logistic data from beginning?

YOu have may be the wrong understanding how SVT works.

1.) Data can change at any point in time within the year (e.g. "composition is changing" etc.)

2.) New material can be sold, produced purchased this year never seen last year

any many other combinations.

Step 1 is always ro make sure: you have e.g. a "composition" (there is data in CCRCT_EHS_COMP for the effected material)

Step 2: then tracking will run.. (delta mode)

Step 3. If e.g. the user determines.. upps. now it is ime for "RetrackinG" ("reanalyse" all data since 01.01 of a year): SAP has delevered for this a special report to do so.

PS: https://community.sap.com/t5/product-lifecycle-management-blogs-by-members/substance-volume-tracking... might help

BUt you will find many threads regarding "SVT" (how to use it properly etc.)

Wish you the best

Hello

first: check the OSS Note docu (check SAP marketplace)

second: check e.g. https://community.sap.com/t5/product-lifecycle-management-blogs-by-members/substance-volume-tracking...

Third. You need to seperate the "fill" from the "tracking" part

To use SVT the "master data" must be present. Without that: the solution us "useless" (e.g. you need to know: which material is relevant; you need to have composition data on REAL_SUB level)

Regarding tracking: you can use SVT in two basic modes: only tracking; and tracking with blocking

If the data is not "good" enough: Tracking is the best option (no blocking)

There is a "retraking" report which you can use to do "retracking" (if data is better). => Check SVT docu to finde this ABAP routine. But if the data is "really"  bad: than initial tracking is better

Wish you success in SVT

PS: CBRC20 etc. can be used to control: what object need to be "registered". If you start with SVT you can use this option as well. BUT the tracking success depends HEAVILY on CORRECT Master Data.

Thanks Christoph for your response. Material, Composition and any other relevant data is perfect. The only concern as I mentioned is, If the inclusion of Product in SVT is going to be in different lot in future, then from Beginning (Start of Year or 2022) will not be allowed because the CCRCT_RUN time stamp will be latest. I will check as suggested.

Regarding: If the inclusion of Product in SVT is going to be in different lot in future,.. i can not follow your argumentation (especially in correlation to the run table)

the "RUn" tbal has different purpose...

Normally a material is (if it is a chemical) always relevant for "SVT".  We should have always data in CCRCT_EHS_COMP and if needed we should see tracking results.

In a nutshell: Start SVT always with relevance for all materials (so that you have data in CCRCT_EHS_COMP). Accept the tracking results and try to understand why tracking is coming up.

The most important success factor is to have master data in place. Without this .. tracking is useless

Hi Christoph,

As Christoph says, you must keep master data as accurate as possible (data in CCRCT_EHS_COMP). Then your tracking data can be recalculated without errors, you can included or excluded products. Tou can delete only the data form a specific regulation with RREGCH_DEL_DATA and load it again with RREGCH_VT.

Hi ashish25bp

You can delete the data, program RREGCH_DEL_DATA. And after this you can execute RREGCH_FILL again. Or you can run RREGCH_FILL only for the new material.

With SVT if you have made some error, you can always delete the data and recalculate again.

Check RREGCH_* programs.

Hi Carlos.

Thanks for the comments. 

But do you mean I can even execute RREGCH_VT program back dated after executing Deletion program ?
