Although many of the most common issues were relatively benign and will be discussed at the
end of the report, there were a variety of complex technical issues which resulted in the failure to
complete key steps.

Using the enter button in SAP will fill some of the information needed automatically without you
having to fill it manually.

Mac

Most of the Mac users had issues getting the “connections” to appear. To solve this issue, click
the menu bar and click View > Show All Workspaces and it will allow you to get the
“Connections” page:

I have also noticed when in TT2, when it asks you to display the purchase requisitions, on a mac
it won’t show you an arrow similar to this screenshot

The purchase requistaions is actually shown like this, with no arrows as you can see you just to
click on it to highlight it and select the PR you want.
General
I’m not sure if this is just for mac, or if it’s because of the new GUI, but most people did have
the execute button as shown below.

Some people had this screen below with the clock button up at top. That is the execute button.

MRP4 Generation
In Module 11.12 you are instructed to define MRP4 View for Finished and Semi-Finished goods

The assignment tells you to follow the menu path Logistics > Production > Master Data >
Material Master > Material > Create (Special) > Finished Product

In the document, it says it may throw this error code but if you follow the menu path below it
brings you to the same error code:

If you follow that menu path, enter the correct inputs and, in the toolbar, click Material > Change
> Immediately - it will allow you to go on to the next screen.

Purchase Order Creation

In TT2.3 while creating a purchase order from a purchase requisition - in document overview
someone had an issue with displaying their purchase requisition done the day before. It looked
like the picture below.

In that page, there is a button called Personal Setting - if you click that, you will get the
following screen:
Click the drop down menu where it says selection period for my docs and click No Restrictions
and then Save. If you follow the menu path again it will allow you to display your purchase
requisition.
Another issue some people were having was troubles showing the net price in create purchase
order screen similar to the screenshot below.

This can be fixed if there nothing written there, you can write any number other 0 in the Gross
Price and hit enter and on the bottom of the screen it will tell you the correct price for the
material. After this is done, you will be able to see net price as $9,400.

Unassigned **PT to **PR

Another issue that a few people were having is

If you click SAP Reference IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Material Assignment >
Assign Purchasing Organization to Plant

Properly assigning your plant beside your purchase organization will fix the issue.

G/L Account Entry

An issue that a few people had was on Module 11.

Most users entered an incorrect G/L Account in Module 3. They were instructed to go back and
enter it correctly in SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting >
Master Data > G/L Accounts > G/L Account Creation and Processing > Edit G/L Account
(Individual Processing) > Edit G/L Account Centrally. Click on [Change] in the tool bar and it
will allow you to change any existing G/L accounts.

Goods Issue Generation

Another common issue was the following error during Goods Issue generation:
You can fix this by going to SAP Reference IMG > Production > Shop Floor Control >
Operations > Scheduling > Define Scheduling Parameters for Production Orders or tcode OPJK.
In order to fix this issue, you have to make sure you entered PP01 beside your plant. If not you
can repeat module 10.6 and make sure you enter PP01 while also deleting any incorrect lines.

To check if you finished the config exercise, enter zgrade in the command bar.

Summary

Some of the most common issues included requesting clarification on due dates, [zgrade] and
generally missed steps in the modules. This includes failing to expand the header while posting a
Goods Receipt and a mismatched Valuation Grouping Code.

There were a number of times in which Modules had been skipped entirely. In these instances,
diagnosing the issue was more difficult because there were often no error codes to investigate
and there were many configuration steps that they could be tied back to.

Though some of the technical errors were complex in nature, utilizing resources like the SAP
Wiki and SAP Forums yielded a faster turnaround on each issue.
The underlying issue behind many of the technical errors was users rushing through the
assignment and failing to correctly follow instructions. Had some users started earlier with
steadier pacing, it is unlikely that there would have been any errors whatsoever.
