RE: Difference between Trading Goods and Finished Goods

What is the difference between a trading good and a finished good?
My business contracts the manufacturing of surfboard to third party manufacturers. We then distribute the surfboards out as our product to customers. Would you describe our surfboards as a trading good or a finished good?
Thanks

First of all, I am not sure which is the right forum for this question
Coming to your query, a trading goods can be a finished goods or semi finished goods but not all finished goods can be treated as a trading goods. Hope you got the difference.
From manufacturers point of view, whatever they produce and sell, it can be treated as a finished goods. Whatever they procure and sell, that can be treated as a trading goods.
thanks

Difference between Bom of semi-finished goods & f/g material master

Dear all,
What is the Difference between Bom of semi-finished goods & f/g material master ?
Just I don't know wt r we maintained in s/f BoM ?
Regards,
sahoo

There is no difference in SFg and FG Material master. some time Straegy group will differ.
FOR BOM
create a seperate Bom For SFG anf FG
In SFG BOM - maintain what are the materials required to make the FG in Compnent and the quantity.
In FG BOM- maintain SFG material as component and give the quantity, item category and other raw material or SFG

The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

hi,
what is the difference between system restore and last good known configuration.
in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
very short answer wil be enough.
thanks
johan
h.david

Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

What is the difference between delivery date and actual goods issue date?

Hi ,
Can you please tell me the difference between Delivery date and Actual goods issue date ?
Delivery data can be be greater than goods issue date?
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Delivery date means its the original date on which the delivery should be done.Actual goods Issue date is the date on which goods to be delivered according to the purchase order.There can be delay in the delivery so we maintain 2 objects.
Yes delivery date can be greater than Goods Issue date.
Hope this clears

Notifications. Difference between All sent and Finished.

Is there a difference?

Here is a description of all status:
Created: A notification has been created. It is not yet queued or sent.
Queued: A notification has been added to the queue. The devices are chunked before the notification could be sent to the devices. So the push notification could be going through chunking.
Started: A notification is being processed.
All_sent: All notifications sent to Apple’s APNS.
Finished: All notifications sent to the devices.
Failed: A notification has failed due to some reason. The reason for failure would be listed.
Here is a document that also descibes this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/segmented-push-notifications.h tml

Difference between inbound delivery and Goods Receipt

Can any one explain difference between inbound delivery and goods Receipt??

Hi dear,
Inbound delivery is one confirmation used to indicate the expected goods receipts in advance, so that the related process partners like warehouse personnel , planning personnel can utilise this data for initiation of actions and planning. Also , we can make this confirmation relevant to Planning in the customisation, to enhance the performance.
In general , we need confirmations only as a kind of assurance/information , in absence of the goods.
But if the goods are received physically , obviously we do not need any confirmations , we would perform the goods receipt .
When working with Inbound delivery , the goods receipt is done with respect to specific inbound delivery( though not compulsary to do so) , so that the integration done in the system works to the advantage of the users.

Difference between Standard cost and standard price

Hi:
I have gone through google but i could not find any answer to the question clicking my mind. When we talk about standard cost and standard price..Should they be taken synonymously? Are these two same concepts... If there is any difference between two please do let me know..Similarly is there any difference between Actual cost and actual price. Please guide
Br

For Finished Goods, Cost is nothing but your manufacturing or procurement cost.
Where as Price is nothing but your sales price of the same Finished Goods.
Simply when you buy, it is cost and when you sell it is price.
Price includes cost + Profit or loss.
But from SAP point of view Standard Price field in Material master is Standard Cost.
Standard cost will be arrived when we manufacture or procure
Sale price will be entered in Sale order as condition value.

What is the difference between Standard text and Text Symbols?

Hi,
1.Difference between Standard text and text symbol,?
2. Which we use Standard symbol?

Text symbol
Text symbols are symbols representing text elements. In fact, a text symbol can be defined for every text elements. The reading of the form is easier in the SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol must not exceed 32 characters and its value 60 characters. The value assignement can be done in two ways:
- Using the following command: "/: DEFINE &SYMBOL&='TEST_SYMBOLE'"
- Using a standard text symbol.
The text symbol value is temporary stored. When the print program finishes the execution, the text symbol does not exist anymore. The text symbol must have a value when it is declared.
Also check this link,
http://www.supinfo-projects.com/en/2005/forms_sapscript_en/5/
Standard text are good, if you are using them in more than one SAPScript, because you have to maintain them only once, and not in every SAPScript.
It is really good to write rarely changing texts into the SO10 standard texts (for example company name, and address).
standard text is not always used in scripts. when ever u want to display some data u need to use standard text so that the data gets displayed. Say, u have a large piece of document which needs to be printed at end of script... rather than writing the whole thing in script, we create standard text using SO10 and then use the name along with standard text in script.

Difference between Temp table and Variable table and which one is better performance wise?

Hello,
Anyone could you explain What is difference between Temp Table (#, ##) and Variable table (DECLARE @V TABLE (EMP_ID INT)) ?
Which one is recommended to use for better performance?
also Is it possible to create CLUSTER and NONCLUSTER Index on Variable table?
In my case: 1-2 days transactional data are more than 3-4 Millions. I tried using both # and table variable and found table variable is faster.
Is that Table variable using Memory or Disk space?
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Check following link to see differences b/w TempTable & TableVariable: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/05/15/temporary-tables-vs-table-variables/
TempTables & TableVariables both use memory & tempDB in similar manner, check this blog post: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/07/20/table-variables-are-not-stored-in-memory-but-in-tempdb/
Performance wise if you are dealing with millions of records then TempTable is ideal, as you can create explicit indexes on top of them. But if there are less records then TableVariables are good suited.
On Tables Variable explicit index are not allowed, if you define a PK column, then a Clustered Index will be created automatically.
But it also depends upon specific scenarios you are dealing with , can you share it?

Difference between unique constraint and unique index

1. What is the difference between unique constraint and unique index when unique constraint is always indexed ? Which one is better in this case for better performance ?
2. Is Composite index of 3 columns x,y,z better
or having independent/ seperate indexes on 3 columns x,y,z is better for better performance ?
3. It has been very confusing for me to decide which columns to index, I have indexed most foreignkey columns, is it a good idea ? We do lot of selects and DMLS on most of our tables. Is there any query that I can run and find out if indexes are really being used and if they are improving any performance. I have analyzed and computed my indexes using ANALYZE index index_name validate structure and COMPUTE STATISTICS;
null

1. Unique index is part of unique constraint. Of course you can create standalone unique index. But is is no point to skip the logical view of business if you spend same effort to achive.
You create unique const. Oracle create the unique index for you. You may specify index characteristic in unique constraint.
2. Depends. You can't utilize the composite index if the searching condition is not whole or front part of the indexing key. You can't utilize your index if you query the table for y=2. That is.
3. As old words in database arena, Index may be good or bad for a table depending on the size of table, number of columns in the table... etc. It is very environmental dependent. In fact, It is part of database nomalization. Statistic is a way oracle use to determine the execution plan.

What is the difference between knowing J2EE and knowing Java?

Okay, I need a little help and guidance. I've been doing integration work for the past couple of years and I've been creating small programs in Java with our EAI application. Basic database updates, reading different file types from disc (XML, fixed-length, etc.), and a lot of other things. But never full-blown applications. So I think I know the Java language pretty well, although I haven't used everything, just what I needed.
I've been hearing this phrase getting thrown around a lot: "Do you know J2EE" instead of "Do you know Java". What is the actual difference between the two? (Any good websites or books would help a lot).
Another question I had since we were always building small programs they was never a great deal of stress to build object-oriented code. Is there a good book and/or websites on some basic standards and rules of thumbs to think about when I start designing my code?
Thanks everyone

Think of all the rich programs you can write with no import statements. That's knowing Java the language. Start adding the packages in the SDK. Ok, now maybe that's enough Java to get a job. J2EE adds a lot more packages for a bunch of interesting things - JSP and Servelets, EJB containers, etc. Sun docs on J2EE ought to list out all the wonderful added features. I'm sure I don't know anyone who has mastered ALL of these packages - "knowing" J2EE might take a direct download from the Matrix. Many interesting programs get along fine without any J2EE features.

Difference between connection pooling and simple connection

Anybody please tell me what is the Difference between connection pooling and simple connection and also where we define connection pooling and how.
Thanks
Please reply soon
amitindia

Creating and closing connection to the database is a relatively slow process. Equally connections use database resources so you can't just open as many as you want.
A connection pool maintains a number of open connections throughout the lifetime of the application. Instead of opening and closing the connections your application just "borrows" them from the pool when they're needed.
If the pool runs out of connections it will usually create new ones as needed until you reach some predefined upper limit.
A good connection pool will also manage connections which have failed for any reason, and report code which fails to return connections to the pool (ie connection leaks).
The number of connections created at startup is referred to as the "low water mark" and the maximum number that the pool will allow to be opened at any given time is the "high water mark". If no connections are available client code will generally block until one is released.
If by "defined" you mean where can you get a working implementation then your database or application server vendor is likely to provide one. Also the Apache Jakarta Commons includes [url http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/]an implementation which you can use with any JDBC driver.

Difference between conn.close() and conn=null;

Hi All,
Can anybody please let me know the difference between conn.close()
and conn=null;
where conn is reference to Connection.
Thanks and Regards
-sunjavadeveloper

Thanks for your response.
Is there any other good approach to close() & then
null the Obj. can u give us your opinion.
          finally
            try{
                     if(dbconn != null)     dbconn.close();
                     if(stmt != null) stmt.close();
                     if(rs != null) rs.close();
                     if(con != null) con.close();
            catch (Exception e)
                   logger.fatal(e.getMessage(),e);
throw new Exception ("Exception -- Vendor.java --
a -- authenticate -- " + e.getMessage() );
               dbconn = null;
               rs = null;
               stmt=null;
               con = null;
Putting the close() calls in finally block is good, but having them in individual try/catch blocks is better. That way you can still try to close the connection if closing the statement throws an exception.
I don't bother setting them to null. GC is smart enough to know that they've gone out of scope. I don't think it helps.

What is the difference between scheduling agreement and delivery schedule

Hi
1. Can anyone explain me the difference between scheduling agreement output
    and scheduling agreement delivey schedule
    Will the both look same in T.code SP02 when seeing the output for a document.
    Can anyone send me T.codes for above ones in purchasing.
2. when seeing the Detailed statement for rebate agreement,there is item number.
    In which table can we see the item number for rebate agreement

Hi,
If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle

Difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule

Hi SD Experts
can u say me the clear difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule.
where we will maintain deliver schedule. whether delivery schedule is automatically created along scheduling agreements..
with regards
James

Hi James,
Schedule Lines: Has basically information realted to delivery scheduling in Sales Order level.
Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.
Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
We give deatils while creating order:
Order Creation Date
Required Delivery Date
Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date.
Give your mail Id I have some Presentation I will send you across.
REWARD POINTS IF IT HELPS

Srini
