Define Scenarios for the Request of Adjustment Postings

In this IMG activity, you define scenarios for the request for an adjustment posting.

Standard Settings

All scenarios provided by SAP are in the S* namespace.

SAP provides

notication type 60 for adjustment posting requests.
The notification type contains the information on whether the request must be approved, and if so, by whom. Note that you can use a notification type for more than one scenario.

Requirements

SAP recommends that you copy the scenarios for master data changes as a reference for your own scenarios, and then to adapt the copy accordingly.

Activities

1. To copy a scenario, select is and choose Copy.
To create a scenario, choose New entries.
2. Enter a key and a description for the scenario.
Caution
The scenario key must not be in the SAP (S*) namespace.
3. In the general data, make the required entries.
Take this opportunity to store a long text for the scenario. This description is displayed as an explanation when you call up the form. You can also use this description to find a corresponding form in the intranet. When you enter the text, you do not have to enter key words as the search engine filters the text using not only the words, but also their conjugation or declination. Word groups are also used for the search.
For more information on the search engine, see the SAP Library under Financials -> Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Information System -> Interactive Information System, and then see Report Documentation under Document Search Using The Retrieval System.
4. Transfer notification type 60, depending on the scenario.
5. Use Entry with form as the entry type.
6. You only need to specify an ITS service if you choose the Entry with form entry type. You use an HTML form specially designed for the scenario. You also need to assign an Internet service to the scenario that contains the required HTML templates, ITS (Internet transaction server) and language-dependent resources. In addition, there is a choice of business add-ins (BADIs) that you can use, in which you can define specific requests.
You can assign an Internet service to maximum one scenario. To create a new Internet service, choose Generate.
You have two options:
Note
Before you can test the Internet service, you need to publish it manually. This takes you automatically to the Internet service processing in the development workbench, where you can publish the entire Internet service. Then you can test the ITS service from Customizing using Test.
7. To modify forms, choose Business Add-Ins. You can now change the implementation (create, change, delete and so on).
If you require special initialization or checks on the request for the scenario, you can use a business add-in (BADI QISR1). For more information on BADIs, see Basis -> Change and Transport System - Overview -> Transactions and Tools -> BC Changes to SAP Standards -> Business Add-Ins.
Recommendation
For adjustment posting requests, it is recommended that you transfer the corresponding business add-in from the scenario using the F4 help.
8. Do not activate the cost incurring indicator.
The scenario for an adjustment posting does not incur costs.
9. Select your scenario and choose the Characteristics selection area.
You select fields in characteristics that are to be provided in the request form.
Recommendation
Accept the structures suggested for the adjustment posting request. Fields are contained within the structures that you can use for the form. You can add further characteristics via New entries.
In Basic data, you use ITS to determine which fields are provided on the form and in which order. You can use a Business Add-In to control which fields should be filled as default.
10. In the selection area choose Tasks.
Using the workflow or worklists, specify the processing procedure for the adjustment posting request in the SAP System.
11. Give each task in the processing procedure a description.
12. If you want to use tasks for evaulation, store a key.
Follow-up actions are filled automatically according to the choice of key. A follow-up action is carried out automatically when the form is sent. Thus, with the adjustment posting request, update occurs in the footer between the incorrect document for which the correction was requested and the message generated when the form was sent.
13. Enter a processor or a standard role.
The system automatically provides this information when you call up the request form.
SAP supplies the standard role 20000102 for the adjustment posting request. It is recommended that you copy this, and adapt the copy accordingly.
Note
The partner role is used to control whether an individual processor ( task processor) or an entire department is put forward in the request form (responsible department). You can find more information on roles in the SAP Library under Basis Components -> Business Management -> Organizational Management -> Integration with SAP Business Workflow -> Role Resolution -> Role Definition -> Define Roles using Responsibilities.
