Eliminating the use of Activity Types -- what are the impacts and risks?

Our primary FI stakeholder wants to eliminate the use of Activity Types in our ERP 6.0 system.  He would prefer the use of cost elements and cost centers.  I know that the elimination of using Activity Types will impact our planning processes plus our ability to segregate costs within a cost center.  What else am I missing?

Hi,
I can't understand the idea of "eliminating the use of activity types"...
What about direct activity allocation (based on time confirmation using activity types)? Is there no need to do so? Don't you use production orders?
best regards, Christian

    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
    Thanks.

  • Looking at getting Lightroom but not interested in the cloud monthly payments. What are my options and is lightroom 4 still available to purchase from Adobe?

    I'm new to Adobe so I know absolutely nothing.

    LR 4 is not available for sale from Adobe.    LR4 is the last version that will run on OSX 10.6.8+, Windows XP and Windows Vista.  You may be able to find it still for sale on Amazon, but be careful of scammers that aren’t Adobe authorized resellers and are probably selling pirated software that won’t be able to be licensed.  Also don’t buy the $80 upgrade version when you’ll need the $120 full version.  The upgrade and full versions function the same, but the upgrade version requires having a previous version’s serial number in addition to the current version’s serial number to be licensed.  Since you’re just starting out with LR you wouldn’t have a previous version serial number.
    LR 5 is available for purchase both with and without paying a subscription.  LR 5 requires OSX 10.7+ or Windows 7+.
    If you are interested in LR 5.x without paying a subscription then download the LR 5.6 update from here, and run it in trial mode for up to 30 days, to see if it’ll work on your computer and with your workflow:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
    For completeness, here is Subscription LR5 which includes PS-CC for $10/month (U.S.):

    The subscription version is the only one that has LR Mobile sync capabilities.

  • ValueObjects...who uses them and what are the advantages?

    I have a lot of information crammed into my application that manages a ton of things for organizations. I am recoding the application as part of a refactor/upgrade/v2 version and am interested in looking into adding VO's if they are still worth it. I use the Mate Framework for MVC and IoC and declare my bindable variables in the manager classes, then populate them as needed.
    Is it better to have a collection of VO's in another folder and just use those? Other than having code hinting for the value names and data types, what are the benefits? Is having another 30 class files (VO's) in a project better or worse for performance? Thanks!

    VO's will save you time when typing code, ctrl + space  autocomplete and ensures that data is passed around correctly.
    If you use object you dont have compiler checking of properties as its dynamic class.
    They will help people to understand your code.
    Do it!

  • What are the steps to make it seamless for a customer to use the install program and then use the installed program?

    I wrote an install program (.exe) that is downloaded from a website.  When run, it 1) leads a customer to browse to a directory, and 2) copies files (.exe, .dll, etc.) from a website to that directory.  When I run, the installed program works.

    This site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/2kt85ked%28v=vs.110%29.aspx provides a basic description of the Visual Studio Windows Installer. 
    Near the bottom of the page is "You can unlock all the features of InstallShield by paying to upgrade to the full version of InstallShield."  Where do I find info that describes the differences between the "free" and the "full"
    versions?
    bhs67
    Hello,
    The default feature does support the task for your requirement, so there is no need to pay for the other features unless you want to use some feature which is not free.
    In addition, as this thread
    InstallShield LE not available with VS 2012 RTM? shared, even through there is a link to InstallShield LE in the New Project dialog under Deployment solutions, but it belongs to third-party that I would recommend you consider posting this issue
    at the following forum to get supports about InstallShield.

  • What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?

    hi,
    We dont have SQL server to use and opting to use windows internal database
    What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?
    tnx

    Hi,
    the main limitation is that you cannot access a SQL express from remote (even there are tricks to work around that), so you cannot add another machine to the RMS cluster. 
    Microsoft's recommendation for production systems is to use a full SQL server, what allows you clustering and running all sorts of maintenance tasks.
    Other than that SQL Express has a 10GB total limitation for all databases running on that server.
    See also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772673(v=WS.10).aspx for RMS hardware and software requirements. 
    Hope that helps,
    Lutz
