What is the role of navigation atributes in APO DP

What is the role of navigation attributes in APO DP

Hi,
      Navigational attributes bear the same meaning as in BW. They can be used for navigation- drill up and drill down in the planning book.  There is a very little difference in usage.
They also appear in the CVCs, they are just like a regular characteristic. You can select the N.Attribute in your selection profiles, you can use them for forecasting as well.
But the problem is , when you specify as a navigational attribute, additional tables are created and they have to be accessed from there instead of database like the regular key figures.  So it hampers the performance.
It is a good idea to define the characteristics that you think would be using in planning, macros, forecasting model selections, selection profiles etc. and have the characteristics by which you want to drill up/down the data in the planning book.
This saves a lot of performance.

  • What is the Roles Of Bridging Account

    *What Are The Roles Of These Accounts Bridging, Non-Invoiced Sales Orders And Non-Invoiced Revenue in Periodic Account Assignments form? [ID 1335054.1]*
    The Expense account is there to accommodate European accounting practices.
    The Bridging account (as seen in WIP accounting classes) is used only in France.
    The bridging account (and possibly others) was included at the request of the Global Accounting Engine team on behalf of France in the setup form at design time; but it has never been used as it was decided that transfer To GL would remain manual for the moment. In other words, today PAC only generates distributions based on GAAP/Brazil accounting.
    In other words: In US accounting, when you put something in inventory it is accounted as an asset, in France it is accounted as an expense; so during a period you total all expenses and at the end of a period in order to do a fiscal Profit and Loss, you "convert" to assets by using a bridging account : you debit the inventory account and credit the bridging account. This is done by Product Nature: So you have a Bridging account for raw materials, for finished goods and semi-finished.
    The fields 'Non-invoiced Sales Orders' and 'Non-invoiced Revenue' was set up with a view to replacing the functionality (used in Europe) that is currently provided by the Global Accounting engine (AX). However, this has not yet been implemented in the apps - which currently support only US GAAP & Brazilian accounting as methods of generating distributions from PAC.
    User Guide
    2 – 72 Oracle Cost Management User’s Guide
    Bridging: This account is optional.
    You can also optionally enter an Analytical Invoice Price Variance, Analytic a l Purchase Mirror, Non–Invoiced Sales Order, Non–Invoiced Revenue, Analytical Revenue Mirror, Analytical Margins of Goods Sold, and Average Cost Variance account.

  • What is the role of BIS server in blackberry?

    BIS refer to blackberry internet service ..it is just like an ISP = internet service provider...
    Hello,
    Actually, not quite "just like". An ISP provides primary internet connectivity to a computer/network, along with often other services (email, web, and other hostings). Most more recent BBs can, with no BIS-level service and using WiFi only, access the Internet just fine for web browsing and some other services. Further, many can, with just a generic data plan, access the same things via the Carrier Data Network. But, in neither case will any of the BB-proprietary services (e.g., BBM, email, BB Protect, etc.) function at all...all BB proprietary services require subscription to an adequate data plan from the mobile service provider.
    There further are many different levels of BIS plans...there are hundreds of carriers in the world, some with dozens of different BB data plans available. Some provide email and social networking only, but no web browsing. Others provide web and internet, but no social networking. And there can be quite a large number of variations given all of the different BB proprietary services. But, in all cases, they are provided by BIS...so BIS itself is the overall umbrella of BB-proprietary services, with the different carrier data plans enabling different mixes of those various available services...it all depends on what the user subscribes to from their mobile service provider.
    Hope that helps!

    Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.
    ALE consists of the following layers:
    Application services
    Distribution services
    Communication services

  • What is the Role that gives me access to JCO settings page?

    Hi all,
    I am at the customer site doing some WDP dev. I need to setup JCO so as to make use of RFC.
    Customer has already assigned all the roles they have and i still cant access to the backend setting page.
    What is the role to give me the access? how do i operate?
    thanks guys!

    Hi Erv2,
    As you have mentioned that you are at your customer, then I presume you would want to get things fix ASAP. Thus I would suggest that you talk to your custmoer that they allow you to have the below authorisations or role assignment to your userID (you can ask one of their Portal Admin to sit with you while you work on it and at the same time, train him/her    ).
    As already mentioned by Koti, in the backend, ask for J2EE_Admin role to be assigned to you via SU01 transaction. Then next, ask them to give you the "Super Administration" role in the Portal via User management ...this role contains all the neceesary authorisation that a Portal Admin needs to execute most/all Portal admin activities.
    Once you have finish setup, you can ask to remove the "Super Administration" role.
    As a customer (myself), I give the necessary Admin role in Portal and/or J2EE authorisation on backend systems to our portal consultant with me next to him, so as a reasurring to the SAP security team and also to achieve needed knowledge transfer. Its a win-win situation.
    If your customer does not want to give more authorisations...then the above mention roles/steps are to be follow..which at times, maybe afew steps instead of just 1.
    Hope that helps.

    hello, friend.
    actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive.  you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions.  and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
    it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
    "Hi,
    The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
    It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
    Import sequence
    It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
    Incompleteness
    It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
    A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
    The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
    This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
    You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
    Transport workflow as a transport strategy
    If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
    To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
    When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
    Special transport workflow (mass transports)
    You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
    To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
    thanks.  you have been most generous.
    regards.

  • What is XI ? What are the role of an XI Consultant ?

    Hi Everybody,
    I am presently working as an ABAP Consultant since 3 years.Thinking for XI.
    <b>Can anybody tell me about XI.
    What are the role of an XI Consultant ?
    Is it a good option for an ABAPer ?</b>
    <b>Reward is assured</b>
    <b>Thanks in advance</b>
    Srikanta Gope

    <b>What is SAP XI?</b>
    SAP Exchange Infrastructure is SAP’s platform for process integration based on the exchange of XML messages.
    1. It provides a technical infrastructure for XML based message exchange in order to connect SAP components with each other as well as with non-SAP components.
    2. It delivers business process integration knowledge to the customer in the form of SAP pre-defined business scenarios.
    3. It provides an integrated tool set for building new business scenarios by defining and maintaining all integration relevant information. (“Shared collaboration knowledge”).
    Before we take a closer look at how the Exchange Infrastructure will enter into the IT landscape of every SAP customer, let’s take a closer look at the capabilities as well as the strategic direction of XI. This particular module of Net Weaver is one of the most powerful and is undeniably the most critical. Its purpose is really three-fold:
    Connect:
    XI has the ability to connect all applications regardless of whether it is an application
    From a 3rd party or from SAP. The solution has pre-built connectivity to all SAP modules
    Such as SAP CRM and utilizes the Adapter Framework to integrate 3rd Party solutions
    such as Siebel, People Soft, Legacy systems, or AS/400s and Mainframes.
    Coordinate:
    XI has the ability to define a path/workflow for each business transaction that is
    Integrated. The system actively routes each message to ensure that it is properly
    Delivered from the source to the target destination. Active monitoring allows
    Administrators to manage document exchange on an exception basis.
    Communicate:
    XI has the ability to translate files into any format whether an internal file format or any
    Business to Business integration standard including but not limited to an XML format, an
    EDI format, a marketplace, or a Web Service. Finally, there are multiple communication
    Protocols included which allow the routing of a file over protocols such as s/FTP, http/s,
    SOAP, ebMS, Value-Added Networks, or EDI INT (AS1, AS2).
    Understanding The SAP Exchange Infrastructure_
    Now, you might be saying to yourself, we already have solutions that provide all of this
    Functionality. True, most organizations have invested previously in an integration strategy, but what we see in over 90% of organizations is that they have multiple translators and communication brokers, which they are supporting on a daily basis. This is both a resource drain as well as a monetary drain. For example, it is not uncommon to see the following even in smaller organizations:
    • Multiple Point to Point connectivity: For example, R/3 connected to a 3rd party
    Warehouse Management Solution via an internally developed adapter or with the SAP
    Business Connector
    • A 3rd party EAI Integration Broker to connect legacy mainframe systems to SAP and
    WMS
    • A 3rd party EDI translator to communicate messages
    • A 3rd party XML broker to communicate XML messages to marketplaces and non-EDI
    Trading partners
    • A communication server that focuses on sending messages via FTP, Value-Added
    Networks and Internet protocols such as AS2 solution of choice for SAP end users
    Interface-
    <b>Role of XI consultant</b>
    As a SAP XI Developer you will be required to : Gather requirements, develop specifications and technical documentation. Perform requirement analysis and high and low level design. Perform the coding, testing and integration mapping Interface with onsite / offshore project teams ,sometimes responsible for developing java applications based on clients requirement specifications, preparing the technical design document, creating prototypes, analyzing and identifying performance bottle-necks, providing technical and user documentation and training to client, providing relevant data to the Module Leader for status reports both.
    <b>It's a good option to switch to XI</b>

    <i>Sadly, current NW IDE does not support this via designer views.</i>
    Agreed, but "future" NWDS versions finally will provide  declarative parameter mapping.
    Additionally, I tried to alleviate the pain by introducing constants for the event parameter names used in the mapping statements, e.g. instead of "guessing" the event parameter names, you can at least write
    tabStrip.mappingOfOnSelect().addSourceMapping
      IWDTabStrip.IWDOnSelect.OLD_TAB,
      "name of action parameter"
