A few queries about SAP B1

Hi,
I am sorry if this is not the right forum to put thes queries to.
I am in the process of evaluating an ERPs for our organization and would much, much appreciate your help/guidance for the following. Unfortunately I couldn't get to this specific infomration on net.
1- How many maximum level we can go to map organization hierarchy, country, regional, zonal, offices, departments, etc.
2- How many maximum levels in COA can we go for
3- Assuming we have 3 levels in organizaion hierarchy and 4 levels in accounts, the records in COA table will be 3 x 4 x (active accounts), or would it be 3 x 4 x (all accounts) or would it be that application will map them at the time of entering a voucher.
The numbers of users we have are around 90, out of which about 60-70 would be accessing the application over the net
4- The current licensing policy for B1 8.8, the one that I could get to on the site was updated in 2004
5- B1 being C/S application, what is the best (performance, cost effective, secure) method of accessing it over the net
6- Some of the users (Top management and Executives) are generall on travelling, can they access the application on mobiles
7- In B1, the procurement cycle starts from Purchase Order. Do we have and Add-on for Pre-PO processes starting from Purchase Request
We want to do our homework before contacting a partner / representative.
TIA!

Few queries about foreign revaluation for vendor/customer open items

I am trying the transaction F.05 for the first time for vendor & customer open items in foreign currency. I have a few queries:-
1. The ouput contains 2 exchange rates. One is picked from the transaction header. My query is from where is the other rate being picked up. In my current system, I could make out that exch rate in transaction header is being picked automatically from table OB08....however I am unable to deduce the source of the 2nd exch rate.
2. What is the significance of "balance sheet preparation valuation". Earlier in test runs, only "new difference" was getting populated. However the user wanted to see "old diff" also. So while doing some trial run in test client, I checked the "bal sheet prep valu" and posted.....after this run, I am getting values in "old diffe" and "new diff" also. And the posted amount is the difference of the two. What is the significance and ideal way?
3. Should the entry be reversed if I am revaluating at year end? Why I am asking is because in some threads I read that revaluation at year is not to be reversed....
Thanks,
SM

1. To find out difference latest date(Key Date for OI Overview) will be taken by comparing with document posted dated. Based on that system shows diffrences
2.   The items are valued using the exchange rate valid at the key date. The
      difference determined in local currency is output and posted. The
      valuation can also be done for parallel local currencies and according to
      different valuation approaches (HGB, GAAP).
      The result of the valuation is required for the creation of the financial
      statements. You should therefore carry out the valuation before the
      grouping of receivables and payables with program SAPF101. The valuation
      difference is then noted in the document. Use the valuation areas to
      calculate a different valuation method, or to save the result for further
      processing activities.
3.   we need to reverse entries .

A few questions about SAP MDM

hi,
my company is preparing now to implement system for corporate reporting. I am wondering if MDM would be useful for this. Reporting tool will be SAP BW.
I have read some documentation on help.sap.com and have some queations:
1. I saw paragraph 'Master Data Objects' and there was only a few objects. Does it mean that MDM supports integration and management of only those objects listed there? Or I can use MDM to map any other master data like e.g. 'product groups' ?
2. Does MDM have its own data repositories or only provides mechanisms to match MD from various systems and sends it back to its clients (or SAP BW)?
3. Does MDM distribute data in XML format or in other way e.g. IDOCs?
Thanks,
Andrzej

You ask very fundamental questions and I'm afraid my answers will lead to more confusions. But to ask is the only way:-)
> 1. I saw paragraph 'Master Data Objects' and there
> was only a few objects. Does it mean that MDM
> supports integration and management of only those
> objects listed there? Or I can use MDM to map any
> other master data like e.g. 'product groups' ?
MDM can supports any business objects you model in MDM. The ones you mentioned are coming with ready repository and XI mapping but you're not confined to use only them.
>
> 2. Does MDM have its own data repositories or only
> provides mechanisms to match MD from various systems
> and sends it back to its clients (or SAP BW)?
Yes, MDM has its own repository and even to match MD from various systems you have to import it to MDM before.
> 3. Does MDM distribute data in XML format or in other
> way e.g. IDOCs?
XML and plain text are currently available formats for output and XML and all supported DB's native formats are available for importing.
I advise you to read materials from the MDM page on SDN and for MDM scenarios see my last article (not published yet):https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/mdm/mdm - many different models, part one.pdf

Few queries regarding J3RFLVMOBVED Report

Hi all,
I have a few queries regarding the J3RFLVMOBVED Report.
First and most inconsequential, the report reads Stock Overview (Russia). So why Russia?
Second, there are two checkboxes in the selection selection screen namely,
Read List from Database
Save List to Database
When I run this report once, it takes about 10 mins to fetch the output. But if I select Read List from Database, I get the result in a matter of few seconds to a couple of minutes.
So obviously I would like to know the secret behind this magic trick.
Also, what does Save List to Database do? Im a little apprehensive of trying this option. Just dont understand what it means. Hence did not try it yet. Does it mean that it is saving to a buffer or to the database as suggested(which I feel is highly unlikely).
I did debug the program. But found it too much to comprehend - pardon my n00biness for that.
If anybody has looked at this report or a similar one, with the above checkboxes, please help me out.
pk
PS: Logging out for the day. Will respond to replies on the morrow.

Hi Amit,
The Documentation for this report can be found either in Tcode J3RFLVMOBVED by clicking on the Blue i button or by going to the report J_3RMOBVED and checking the documentation there.
This part of the documentation is pretty useful:
Options to keep / receive the report from a database.
If the option "Keep report in database" is active our report is kept in the databases table "INDX" with the key "IM". That report can be used operatively for the further analysis.
The storing is possible on two vevels:
on a plant level
on a company code + GL account level
In both cases storing is possible only for one period (month).
Will check out the Notes. Actually services.sap.com has problems opening in my browser. Will have to get that rectified first.
Thanks for the info.

PS: Im on ECC6

A few queries regarding the beauty that is Nokia 5...

I got this beautiful lil machine a lil over a week back. It looks lovely, and sounds even better. And even though, being a student/intern, it cost me more than my monthly salary, I am mighty pleased I got it. And despite the opposition before, it's a great hit, both at home and work.
Just a few queries regarding the usage from my experience so far, the answers to which I could not find in this forum and a few other review sites. [Apologies if I'd missed something.]
1- First, the battery. It only lasts for a little over a day on full charge. From what I'd heard and read, it looked like it should last quite a bit a more, atleast 2 full days. The phone even hung up a couple of times, while recording/playing video. Upon which I had to remove and reinsert the battery. How seriously wrong is this ?
2- How do you forcefully exit an application, if need be ? It suggests in the guide, and from the reviews I read, there's supposed to be an exit and a start button with the applications when you bring up the task manager. Where're they?
3- There's this option where you can insert a Slideshow as your Wallpaper. But when I go to it, select the desired images, [ Tried various random images, yes ]it only shows Options and Back button, when select Back, it just goes, well, back. Nothing really happens to the wallpaper. How does that work ?
4- This might seem like a petty issue, but it can be pretty annoying. Once you go to Options and tell it you are marking, e.g. in the Inbox or the File Manager, how do you mark multiple items, WITHOUT having to go to Options >Mark >Mark/Unmark for each item ? What's the point of having a seperate Marking option in the first place then, when I could just Move or Delete each item seperately anyway.
5- And last, any news on a free full version of a document viewer ? From what I looked up, it costs around US$70, which is about a quarter of the phone's purchase price itself. And that's not a modest sum, that too for a basic application such as this, for a anyone with my status.
Just so any prospective buyer or amateur user such as myself doesn't get scared off by the seemingly long list of inquiries, the phone's an absolute pleasure to use. Specially, for someone with their first Touchscreen/Symbian experience. I got this phone after a LOT of research, both online and in the field. And it's bloody well worth it so far.
I know, it's a huge post, but you'd have my utmost gratitude for an accurately detailed response. Thankyou. =)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why of course. Something happening to your phone during the process would brick it, not to mention that the attempt would install something in your phone that voids the warranty, meaning that you just made yourself a very expensive paperweight. ^_^. We're not really allowed to talk about it, other than the fact that with the above possibility, I strongly advise you not to do so. There is a way to do it without hacking it. I know of people who have managed to do it without hacking, but it was on the 5800. Hmm, ok, maybe they'll work for you too though.

Few queries across the BSEG & REGUP tables.

Hi all.
Am hoping that you might be able to assist. I have a dataset that has a few tables from a SAP system & I have been asked to run a few queries across the BSEG & REGUP tables.
I have tried using EBELN, BELNR, AUFNR and REBZG to try and join the two tables but unfortunately these fields are not consistently populated. Is there any other fields that I could use that are common to both tables and should be populated by default ??
Any assistance that could be provided would be appreciated.

Hi Ashutosh Kumar
You can join both table with
                          BUKRS - Company Code
                          BELNR - Accounting Docu. No.

Data discrapancy between queries in SAP and BW

Hi All,
I have a problem in data discrapancy between the queries in SAP R/3 and BW Queries .can any one please tell me how to investigate this kind of problems and how to fetch this data ,
please help me ASAP this is an urgent issue
and how many ways we can investigate this kind of issues ,please send me some steps .......
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can proceed in a step by step fashion when trying to match the BW query data with that in R/3 reports.
. Try to check the filters and calculations applied in the BW query. You can create a very basic query if required.
. If this does not work then try using transaction LISTCUBE so that you can directly see the data in the InfoCube as per your chosen selections.
. If this doesn't yield anything, then look at the way data is being processed: Any code in the Start routines, Update or Transfer rules. Check them for correctness.
. If you loaded through the PSA, you can also check data in the PSA. Or you can also check the data extracted using RSA3 in the R/3 system.
. Try to provide us some more specifics about the data that you are trying to match. Which module is it? Which is the datasource?
Hope this helps...

Few issues about MSI P965 Neo F

I have recently put together my C2D system. Details are in my sig. I have a few queries related to the mobo. BIOS is already flashed to v1.5.
1. Are P965 and P965 Neo F 2 different boards? Because their pics, specs etc are the same.
2. My 2 optical drives are connected as master/slave to the IDE port while my HDD is SATA. I cant figure out which mode the optical drives are running in. Current transfer mode shows 'Not Applicable' in Device Manager in Windows Control Panel. During boot, both drives show up in DOS screen. How do I get them both to run in UDMA mode?
3. My DVD writer is running slowly while the combo drive runs well.
4. When I install SMART monitoring utilities, they are unable to retrieve any info from my HDD. Why is this so? SMART is enabled in BIOS. I want to monitor my HDD's temp. through Windows.
5. I have installed CoreCentre. Whenever I run it a warning sounds and CPU Fan speed flashes. Speed is shown around 830-840 rpm. Is this enough? If not how do I increase it? My system is running at default speeds. I havent overclocked at all. Fan monitoring is enabled in BIOS.
6. When RAM timings are set to auto in BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 5-5-5-13 latency. But when I manually set the timings to 4-4-4-12 through BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 4-4-4-20 latency! What is going on?
Kindly advise. Thanks!

But that is exactly the problem. I am unable to set the UDMA mode. All IDE channels in BIOS try to detect the hard disks, when actually no hard disk is connected to IDE. HDD is SATA. Optical drives are connected to the solitary IDE port. I have kept all PIO mode and DMA mode settings to AUTO.
Windows is showing my optical drives to be SCSI devices.
Even Sisoft Sandra is showing my optical drives in SCSI devices tab. Following are the details for my dvd writer :
General Information
Device Type : CD-ROM/DVD
Manufacturer : SONY
Name : DVD RW DRU-820A
Version : 1.0b
Serial Number : Feb07 ,2006
Removable Drive : Yes
Embedded Media Changer : No
SCSI General Properties

Terminate I/O : No
Performance Tips
Warning 2600 : SCSI version does not adhere to ANSI. Probably ATA/ATAPI device.
Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip.
How should I get Windows to detect the optical drives as IDE?

A few questions about Patone colors

I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
1)
I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
Thanks.

You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point? If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type. UGH!
Good luck! :+)

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.
