3.1 Transaction ZWFA05H – List of generic mail

This transaction controls the routing of NOGR and Quantity Discrpancy web cycles to the Plant Generic Web cycle accounts for Raw Material (3014), Packaging(3010) and Industrial Supply (3012) POs.

This table does not require any recurring maintenance (ie. daily, weekly, monthly, etc). It will only have to be updated if a new Site/Plant is set up in WP1 or a Site/Plant is being removed from WP1. This is rare.

Since these are the Generic Web Cycle Accounts for the plants/sites, there would only be requests to set up new sites or delete existing ones. Front Office should notify D&A team of a new site, providing new email address and company number/site code etc. if applicable. If it is a request for a deletion then Front office will provide the company number and site code of the existing location and reason for its removal.

When D&A team receives a request:

For a new plant/site – D&A team will create a new generic web cycle ID via transaction /COCKPIT/WUM and link it to the email address provided by FO. After the new ID is set up then they can add the entries for the new site/plant in table ZWFA05H for each Purchase Org: 3009, 3010, 3011, 3012, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3016. After the table has been updated they will advise FO that request has been completed and the New Generic Web Cycle account and initial password.

Deleting a plant/site – After D&A has received the request from FO, they must contact AP's team leader and request that the web cycle account be checked for any outstanding web cycles.   If there are, then redirect them to the new WC id that will be handling them.  Once completed, the AP Team Lead will advise D&A and they can delete the web cycle id, who will go into transaction ZWFA05H and remove all entries for that site/plant. After the entries have been removed, then D&A team will delete the generic web cycle id(s) via transaction /COCKPIT/WUM. Notify FO when deletion is completed.
