I was playing a bit with CL_GUI_TIMER some time ago and I thought that this would be good to use it somewhere to have idea how it works. So I've created then a small game Battleships, which you for sure know from analog version. 

Game is very simple, firstly you have to build your own map with ships. Just to remind you, there are 2 submarines, 2 destroyers, 1 cruiser, 1 battleship and 1 aircraft carrier. Map is created with CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. Once you click on status button to add one of the ships, map will show you in which place you can start ship. When you'll select position of the start it will show you possible fields for end.

After you build your map hit Join Game button and wait for second player to join you.

This topic was raised many times, I always found it's not possible to (or at least to hard to try) to update components allocation for routing operations. Fortunately I had to do it somehow and I manage to do it in two ways : 

1) with BDC (yeah I know, creepy but possible)

2) using EWB FM's basing on the SAP note 488765 - "Do it yourself EWB programming".

Today I will present program which is using EWB, in future I will post an example of doing this by BDC.

 

 

This program reads data from Excel file with proper structure (you can find Excel template in attachment). After reading data it collects all routings which needs to be updated to be sure that each routing is updated only once. Then the most important part is done in following way:

1) We need to load each routing and connected BOM to memory with CP_CC_S_LOAD_COMPLEX_BY_TSK and CP_CC_S_LOAD_COMPLEX_BY_BOM,

2) Next step is to get the BOM into internal table using CP_CC_S_PROVIDE_ITM_BY_AS_PATH.  BOM table contains also a explosion of sub-assemblies which are not phantoms which at the beginning seem to be useless, but after a while you'll notice that we need all levels of multilevel BOM in order to calculate Path (PLMZ-KANTE) and order level (PLMZ-STLST).  If you have to do components allocation for single level BOM then reworking the table is not needed, but in my example I did it as I needed to allocate components from multi-level BOM. You'll find here a form ITEM_CHECK which do the manipulation of the table. 

3) After it's done we need load operation data (CP_CC_S_PROVIDE_COM_BY_OPR) and current allocation of components (CP_CL_P_OPR_ALLOCATION_PROVIDE). We need to do it in order to delete current allocation.

4) Deletion is done with CM_CL_P_COM_DELETE and saved with CP_CC_S_SAVE. Deletion is committed as in other case there is no possibility to create new allocation.

5) Allocation is deleted, so we can now recreate it with new values. Firstly we need to reload again operation data to memory with CP_CC_S_OPR_PROVIDE_BY_MTK and then create allocation with  CP_CC_S_CREATE_COM. Again we need to save allocation with CP_CC_S_SAVE.

 

Bellow you'll find the code of the program. You can download also NUGG file for it!.

 

Program works in two steps, firstly it displays reading log, if it is ok you have to press first button on the toolbar  to create allocation.
