Customer orders arriving into the past - How to avoid?

Hello Experts,
I would like to ask regarding the scheduling agreements which are affect the production planning.
So the problem:
I have some customers who sometimes sending their orders so that the delivery date is already in the past when the IDOC arrives (e.g. today is 13/04/2014 and the delivery date of IDOC is 02/02/2014... it is very annoying and to top it all completely impossible to deliver on time), due to this incidents the backlog management is not so easy.
Is there any kind of option to change somehow the scheduling agreements so that if the delivery date of IDOC (when it is arriving) is earlier the than "Today" then the system overwrite it and the new delivery date will be "Today + Delivery duration"?
The time fence setting in MM is not allowed option.
Thanks in advance the response!

Péter,
Before you change anything in your system, don't you think it would be smart to first talk to the customer(s); to find out:
1. Why he is sending past due dates
2. What is his expectation for your company concerning these dates?
2. What impact do these dates have on any contracts there may be between you and him?
You customer may have a purpose for sending such dates. It doesn't make sense to change these dates just because you think they are 'annoying'. In particular using the formula 'today plus delivery duration' could be dangerous, if the customer believes that the contractual commitment is that your company will deliver the products 'today'.
These dates represent 'requirements'. A planner cannot assume that all requirements dates will always be reasonable. His purpose is only to create the best supply plan possible to meet the requirements, even when the requirements are unrealistic.

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

Well from my observation, whether SMART is disabled or enabled in the BIOS, SMART is always working within the HDD itself.
Basically SMART is acting like a blackbox, monitoring and tabulating HDD condition from time to time and its attributes only fully revealable by the manufacturers. SpeedFan's SMART status only displays partial information that is displayable. Some attributes are hidden, ~OR~ the attributes' locations are different from one HDD to another brand, such that some values don't correspond to the attribute meaning at all.
It is very doubtful to claim that enabling SMART in the BIOS will hog down the performance. Just like a transport bus (yeah real bus that fetch passenger :P ), with or without the black box installed can't help it if the driver wants to speeding. :P

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Planned order creation in the past

Dear Experts,
For some business requirements, I have a necessiity for placing orders in the past.
Is there any method to make a planned orders manually in the past in APO ?
Thanks in advance four your input.
Regards,
Lee, Seung Won

Hi,
Yes it can be created.
Check strategy profile maintained for interactive planning in Production planning and detailed scheduling--global setting--maintain global parameters and defaults.
Now go to Production planning and detailed scheduling--global setting--maintain strategy profile.
For strategy profile maintained for interactive planning maintain scheduling offset in minutes with minus sign.
Means if you want to allow order to be scheduled maximum two days in past from todays date+time
Scheduling offset= -2880..
Then go to product veiw /SAPAPO/RRP3 and create order manually.
If you donot want to change configuration setting you can change strategy setting for product veiw interactively and save it for particular user.
Hope this helps.

How can I analyse user statuses a maintenance order had in the past?

I want to make an analysis from maintenance orders backlog (orders over required end date). I use IW39 and analyse the user status to define the status of the order in the proces......
In this way, however, I am only able to make an analysis of the data in SAP at this moment, so not in history. Is there a way to analyse the status of maintenance orders user status in the past (or the change of user statuses in the past)?
Thanks!

Thanks for your answers;
I learned that the data for change status and related time can be found in the table JCDS (and for a single order via I near the order status); So if I can get the data from JCDS table I can learn the status of an order in history. By using (incidental analysis) excel I can look if an order is over its required end date in history to analyse the backlog.
Right?
Thanks.

When I expand the address bar it shows sites I have visited in the past, how can I clear this?

When I go to my address bar and click on the small arrow to the right the bar expands to show sites I have visited in the past. The only problem is that these are sites I have visited a LONG time ago. I want to clear these sites and populate this drop down feature with more recent web sites I visit more frequently.

Thanks so much! That was exactly what I needed. But I do have a follow up question; how is it that items end up in your location bar history?

I am desperate to transfer a file from my mac laptop to my ipad.I was told to use iphoto ,but it scrambles up the order I want the pictures ,how can I move the pictures to the sequence I want?Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I am desperate to get my photos onto my ipad for a presentation tomorrow.The photos are from different times and dates.When I put the photos onto iphoto they all come out in a completely different order to what I want.How can I arrange this so that the pictures are in the correct order.Thank you for assistance .Delia

Learn how things work
files have no order at all -- the program that views them sets the order -- in iPhoto you can do this with a number of sorts on the photo data or manually -- in a file viewer like the finder or windows explorer there are a number of sorts on the file data (not the photo data) that you control - so in the finder you can sort by alpha file name, date or file creation or last modification, size of file, etc
So having the file sdisplay in your selected order first off involves understanding the difference between file data and photo data, then making a decision how you want them to display in the file system (and verifying that the file system you plan to use supports this) and then use the iPhoto export to create files that will match the sort you want if iPhoto supports this
the most common way is to display the files in alpha file names order at the destination - so you need to export the files so their file names are in alpha sort order using the sequential numbering option of export

my digital copies that ive downloaded in the past are not showing up in my library. how can i get those back?

I have the T4i — you do not need to change codecs, not even for RAW images.
The best way to import your images/videos from your Rebel is to take the memory card and put it in an sd card reader (the iMacs already have one.) Copy the files to a location on a hard drive (or use the Importer to make a camera archive.) Then import the clips from there. You will be able to preview your clips/images before deciding what to import.

Business rules inside the dabase - how to avoid

Dears,
I have a friend who is working on our project and he is an
Oracle DBA. The problem is that he's been very stubborn when it
comes to the app's business rules. He insists that all of the
business rules should be inside the database, represented by
triggers, stored procedures and the likes.
Even the applications's parameters should go into the database,
according to him. "Property files ? Hell no !"
I tried to convince him of the importance of OO design principles,
abstraction, blah blah blah but he won't listen.
Does any of you guys know of a link or an article available on
the web that addresses this discussion ?
I wanted to persuade him, instead of forcing him to accept our
design decisions.
I mean, I know we all have to be reasonable but I wanted to
have something written by some of the OO gurus, it would be
easier...
Thanks a lot

Finding a case study for what you speak will not be easy, and I suspect will do little to sway the opinion of your DBA. If you do find something, please post it to the list here.
Here are the fundamental problems with his approach (feel free to use these arguments against him):
1) Business logic is hidden / spread across multiple tiers. This is a biggie. If you are using triggers, etc you have business logic that is spread across both the actual code level and across the DB. For a developer that is going to implement a change you have effectively doubled the cost of that change. Plus your development team has to be well versed in both Java coding and in SQL / DB specific coding as well - if your DBA is doing proprietary things in Oracle... well, you get the picture.
2) Changes to DB. If you ever change DB solutions, or even want to switch to a new set of tables, you have to replicate all of that work. There is no real reason for doing that with todays technology - you are just creating more work and making your system(s) less flexible to change and more challenging to migrate.
3) Object / DB disconnect. When you get into the guts of things, there is a wide gap between what is considered best practices for DB design and what is considered best practices for OO design. This culminates in a lot of work going into how to map objects to DB's and vice versa. The differences between these paradigms can cause huge problems when you are implementing business logic in both tiers. Here is an example:
Let's say that you have a universal rule that states that you must have a full 9 digit zip code for all addresses. In the object world this type of rule implementation is simple - you simply enforce this rule on your Address object and use it everywhere you need an address. But in the DB world it is a common practice to embed this type of data within other tables. For instance, you have a customer table with address fields. Same thing for employees, vendors, etc.
Now in order to enforce that 9 digit rule you have to create a stored procedure (or a constraint, whatever) on each of the tables that contains address data. Add a new table with address data? Re-create the rule enforcement.
4) People - As you had mentioned (or maybe someone else did), most companies follow this formula; coders > DBA's. And they do it for good reason. By making the DBA the gate keeper for all of the rule logic you are increasing your "bus" risk factor (he gets hit by a bus, your company is screwed). Plus he is certainly increasing his own job security (I call this complexity based job security - the more complex I can make my work seem, the less likely anyone is to fire me). If I were to perform a risk assessment here I would definitely want my larger group of coders handling rule logic.
Hope this helps.

After updating my iPad mini to iOS 6.2 iTunes decided to wipe everything off and seem to take my account back into the past as all music, apps, videos was gone! Only a few songs where left that I have never seem before? How do I get my liabary back?

Today I got a iPad mini but after updating it my pc and iTunes decided to clear my whole iTunes library including manual downloads as well as purchased items (apps, music etc) it seems iTunes has gone back in time as there are only a few songs on my iTunes which are really old ones of mine. How do I get my current iTunes library back? Thanks.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

I want to insert images into the type, how do I do it?

is there anyone to guide me through. I had done this before with outline type on the image, and then copy pasting onto another layer, but not working now. It is creaitng a mask sort of thing

You don't even mention Photoshop, let alone what version.. Is this application what you're using?
This would be ideally done in Adobe InDesign or Illustrator.
Please clarify.
If you gave some complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, etc., someone may be able to help you.

After my warranty form has arrived in the mail how many days do I have till I have to send my ipod to UPS?

I called the My Appleid number and registered my Ipod touch with a one time curtesy because I did not have my receipt. My sister stepped on my ipod and cracked the screen, I finally got the form in the mail with the sticker, I am supposed to put on the bow that my ipod goes into. How many days do I have till I have to send my Ipod, form, and packing sticker to the UPS center?

I would say five days. Note however, that a cracked screen is not covered by warranty since that is accidental damage. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
- $99 for 16 GB 5G and 8, 16, and 32 GB4G,
- $149 for 32 and 64 GB 5G
- $199 for 64 GB 4G
