Standalone As-Built Configuration in SAP ME - Excess component Qty removal

[ManoharM]

Hi All,

I have stuck at a point while developing a custom solution for Excess qty removal for components in SFCs.

Issue: Due to changes in BOM in S4 after order release and start of execution in SAP ME, there is an error during the completion of the operation "Check config for <<SFC>> reports <<QTY>> missing <<component>>, 0 excess, 0 non-BOM and 0 test part Components (Message 13920)". upon checking, found that due to changes, there is an excess qty for the component is available, using standalone As-Built configuration activity, we were able to return the excess qty for an SFC but it's taking huge efforts to return for each SFC.

So, I have started developing a solution where the input will be the shop order and all the SFCs with the excess qty in the component should be returned.
I'm able to fetch the excess qty info from SFC_ASSY & SFC_ASSY_LOG tables.

I tried to use removeComponents PAPI but getting an error while executing the MII transaction.

can you please let me know if there is any standard service/solution is available to return the excess qty.

Thank You!

Hi!

You can activate BusinessServiceExecutionInterceptor log (see Note 3082957) to find out if the GUI of As-Built Config calls any PAPI on Remove action. If no PAPI is called (so it is the old code not using PAPI), then you can submit a request to MFG-ME-API component so that Support team can consider possibility of implementing a missing feature.

You can also try the same but with As-Built Config Tabular, which might be different from the standard (legacy, non-tabular) activity that you are using on the screenshot.

Regards,

Sergiy

Hi  @sergiy_katerinich 

Thanks for the process to get the PAPI from the GUI. I found the below service from the logs but I'm not sure how to use this plugin in the MII BLS transaction.

Service:
com.sap.me.production.client$AsBuiltConfigurationPluginService#remove

Thank You!

Hi! I guess you will not be able to use Plugin-related services. Looks as if RemoveComponentServiceWSService is the only service for you. So you need to play with its methods. It should work with the data returned by RetrieveComponentsServiceWSService. So, if if those 2 services are not sufficient to resolve your task, then it might be an error in the Remove method or a missing API - then you can submit a support ticket..

Thank You @sergiy_katerinich, I have used the RemoveComponents PAPI which is working fine, I need to execute a scenario for the excess qty and validate.

Thanks for your Support!

Appreciate it! 👍
