About the accrual of quotas

Hi Sap Gurus,
I am having a small doubt about the configuration of accrual entitlement for Quota's.
We have a requirement that when a employee more than 4 hrs of unpaid Leave in a particular day,
he should not be able to accrue any absences but if he enters less than 4 hrs then he should be able to accrue the quotas.
Please somebody help me in this matter.
Thanks,
Leela.

HI,
This you have to define in the time evaluation the conditions for the quotas.

Confused about the meaning of Time Quota Types

I am learning SAP-HCM on IDES 6.0. I am confused about the meaning of Time Quota Type. I have gone thru the SAP documentation, but still not clear about it. Please help me with a few examples. How is it different from Absence Type?

Hi Gopal ,
Absences are very generic ones that we create which needs to be reflected in IT2001 and dedcution can happen.
Absence Quotas are the limited entitlement that is fixed say ur eligible for 10 days sick leave so here this is a Quota for each year and so becomes a Quota say Sick leave Quota =10 and will be seen in IT2006.
Now an absence needs to be linked to this Quota for dedcution.
An absence can be or may not be linked to a Quota.This depends on business Requirement.
Let me know if u have further Questions.
Thanks

About the pricing procedure of purchasing order

Hello friends,
can anyone tell me about the pricing procedure,conditions & texation of Purchase order?
and hoew to maintain all those term in Customisation?

The Basic thing is Condition Technique. In which there are
1. Access Sequence 2. Condition Record 3. Condition Type 4. Condition Table.
A Access Sequence access a Condition Record of a Condition Type in a Condition Table is a Condition Technique.This is a simple logic
Here the Condition Type is very important like PB00, PBXX,RA01 etc.
In the background every Condition Type has its own defition means the purpose of the Condition Type like, is it for Pricing or Percentage, Quntity base, Accrual Feilds etc is to be defined to work this functions. Normally we use the existing ones without any risk. But some cases, we have to Create a New Condition Types as per the organisation requirement.
The Pricing Schema is useful to minimise condition types while mention prices for Vendor on the basis of Pricing Schema which we defined according to organisation requirement.
The Pricing Schema means the calculations procedure of Condition Type.
Ex. RA01 - Discoount % is caclulated on PB00 - Gross Price means
RA01 is based on PB00 like that we have to define in the Pricing Schema
which makes easy to use in real time.
Here PB00 has the Access Sequence - 0002.
But RA01 does not have the Access Sequence.Why because it is a dependent on PB00. But both are Condition Types.
In the system, by default some standard Scheme will be there at Vendor Schema Group in the Vendor Master Screen means the standard one is assigned which is very lengthy which may fullfil our requirement. But some cases which may not fullfil our requirement, in such we have to define.
For the configuration, I may not able to explain properly through here but will give some idea.
Configuration: SPRO - IMG - Material Management - Purchasing - Conditions - Define Price Deternmination Process:
1. Define Access Sequence
2. Define Condition Type
3. Defince Calculation Schema:- Here you have to define the Schema - Define Schema group
1. Define Schema Group vendor
2. Define Pricing Schema group
3. Schema group for Purchase Organisation
4. Assign Schema group to Purchase Organisation - Define Schema determination
1.define calculation schema for Standard purchase organisation
After completion of the Schema Group, we have to assign it to Vendors.
Then whenever we use any transaction with this Vendor, the concerned Schema will work as configured by us.
The Pricing in MM is vast because each Condition have its own importance and each Access Sequence have its own importance. So you need not bother about this. First you learn how to define the Calculation Schema through the above.

Error while generating the annual leave quota.

Hi All,
For all the employee group's for the past 2 years we are generating the Annual leave quota.
For one employee group, management decided not to give annual leave quota. i have done the necessary configuration so that the quota will not get generated for them.
For the new employees quota is not getting generated.
For the old employees i have deleted the annual leave absence quota and run PT60. For these employees system is throwing the following error.
    Error entry no. 83 Error when creating absence quota
     General information
     Rule: 000 quota type 00
    No quota type for key 7 99 01 20110930
Please suggest the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumathi.

Hi ERP12345,
This is for employee Group,
We have 2 employee groups, 1. Permanent
                                                2. Contract
For all the contract employees, we have generated the annual leave quota for the past 2 years.
Now management doesn't want any annual leave quota to be generated for this particulat employee group. so i have deleted all the configuration related to this employee group from base entitlement, accrual of quota generation, deduction rule,selection rule & couting rule.
When i am hiring a new empoyee the quota is generating correctly, means annual leave quota is not generating, remaining leaves are generating.
Is it a right way of doing, normally if this is the scenario, what we have do to,
For the old employees, after deleting the 2006 IT also, system if thwoing the error as i mentioned in my first conversation.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumathi.

Can I complain about the Customer Service here?

I just had a very measured conversation with the Service Repair people, but there were a few things that struck me as utterly ridiculous. So if Lenovo is interested in understanding the customer perspective, I thought it would be a good idea to share.
I bought a IdeaPad s10-3 netbook a little under a year ago. I did extensive shopping around to find a machine that was not only a good deal, but that would be more than the piece of crap netbook that my sister has (she has an HP). I liked the s10-3, and despite the Lenovo reputation for bad customer service and questionable quality for their non-Thinkpads, I bought it.
I absolutely loved it for the 9+ months that I had it. It was good to surf the internet and write e-mails, it had an excellent battery life, it was very portable, and it could handle Microsoft Office. Apparently I loved it to much. I took it too many places. Because despite placing it in a memory foam carrying case when I took it around, I found that the cover (basically the screen) was misaligned when I closed it. One of the plastic hinge covers had broke.
The plastic had broken off the bezel and it was no wonder that the stresses was centered on that piece - there wasn't much else holding the hinge in place. Once that plastic was gone other plastic parts started to snap out of place.
"Okay," I thought," this netbook was fairly cheap, I guess eventually the plastics had to fail." I just thought that less than a year was a pretty short lifetime. I remembered that the warranty covered a year, so I sought to find out if it would be covered and how I could get it fixed. I thought about just gluing the piece back to the bezel and snapping everything back in place. But hey, if it was still under warranty, why not get it professionally fixed?
The first time I called the Support Center, the technician couldn't find my warranty because his system was down. He asked me to see if there was another Serial Number, which there wasn't. He told me he would call me back with the system was up again. He did not.
I called again, armed with the necessary information: Serial Number, Model, Type, Product ID, anything that identified my machine. This time, the technician was able to get my information and I explained the problem. I told him I thought the machine was still under warranty and he told me to send it in. I asked if I could just take it into a local Service Center but he said, no, it had to be sent to their center in Texas. He said they would take care of everything, unless they found that it was the product of abnormal use (i.e. I took a hammer to it).
I sent it in (for ~$20). So, done deal, I thought.
Nope, I got a call a week later. Apparently the hinge is not covered by the warranty. Only hardware is covered. So Lenovo doesn't have to replace or repair the cheap, superficial plastic outsides, but just the expensive, important insides. I had thought that this might be a possibility (despite the fact that the technician said that the warranty covered it), but the part I want replaced was plastic, so how expensive could it be?
Apparently, as much as the machine. Seriously. They wanted to charge me $300 to replace the bezel. I asked if it was that expensive because the LCD screen needed to be replaced. Nope, just the plastic parts. As a customer, it's ridiculous to pay that much to replace superficial, cheap parts. So I told them I wouldn't pay and that they should just send the machine back to me.
I also told them to make sure that they send back the plastic hinge so that I could repair it myself (super glue ftw!). The technician on the phone with me couldn't (or wouldn't) guarantee that they would send the hinge back. She kept asking if I sent it with the machine (I did, and I mentioned so in the letter I sent with the machine) and that she didn't know if the technician working on my machine had kept it. I explained why I wanted the hinge back and asked if there was anything that she could do for me if they didn't send it back. She stammered. I understood that she couldn't personally make sure that the hinge would be in the box with my machine. But really, couldn't she do anything to help me?
So instead of simply gluing the piece back and having a working (with less structural integrity) netbook, I'm already out $20, plus the time it took to call the Center and package and ship the machine, and I might not even be able to repair it myself!
I would have been infinitely better off if I had decided to trust Lenovo's Customer Service reputation and fix it myself. Or if I was simply told in the first place "Lenovo's warranty doesn't cover that."
Let's hope that my brand-new ThinkPad t420s never has to get serviced. Or maybe next time I should just get a MacBook.
Case Number WN378375

Well that settled it. I WILL NO LONGER BE BUYING LENOVO. My dad disapproved of me buying Lenovo over (what he perceived as) superior quality American products, and I disagreed - but not anymore. Some of Lenovo's policies are seriously idiotic.
I just got off the phone with their Repair Center/Customer Service line. I asked for his supervisor, since I was sure that the Support Rep. couldn't do anything for me. After a delay, I finally got to explain why I was calling and ask if there is anything that he could do for me. I told him that a customer has a reasonable expectation that sending in a machine should make the situation better, not worse. He kept saying "Unfortunately, we cannot give out free repairs..." But I wasn't asking for a free repair. I just wanted SOMETHING, ANYTHING other than a pat on the back and a "So sorry, pal" kind of attitude from a company that just screwed up. He said that the only "concession" he could give me was for free shipping of the machine. I asked what he meant, since I had already received the machine back. He explained that if I wanted to send the machine back to get it repaired, and pay the repair fee, Lenovo would pay for the shipping.
Seriously.
Lenovo's "concession" was to ship back the machine so I could pay for the service that I didn't want to pay for in the first place.
He couldn't offer me anything else. I asked if they could send me the missing part I meant a replacement part, but he thought I meant the broken piece I had sent in. He went on to explain that any broken pieces are automatically put in the trash as "scrap." Okay, makes sense that broken parts are useless if they're going to be replaced anyways. Except that mine wasn't. And it is reasonable to assume that some customers will be unwilling to pay for the repairs once they are quoted. You don't see car body shops throwing out bent fenders before their owners give the OK to do the repairs. It's just a stupid, stupid policy. And I said as much. I felt a bit bad for the guy listening to me, because he has no power over Lenovo's policies.
He put me on hold and tried to see if he could send me a replacement part. But nope, apparently the bezel is connected to the LCD cover (even though you can see a break in the plastic and my bezel snaps out of place from the cover) and he can't send me that entire set.
I asked if there was anything else he could do for me to placate my anger. You know, usually a company has some sort of policy to make a customer happier when there is a situation that they can't remedy. Like when I was flying Alaska Airlines for a 1hr flight and it was delayed 3+ hrs because there was a problem with the door - their customer service team gave me a $150 voucher. It doesn't take back the 3hrs I spent angry in an airport, but it makes me feel a little bit better about their company and how they value their customers. The poor guy couldn't do any of that for me.
So I just told him, if he ever had the chance to pass along these words to the higher ups, that the "resolution" to my situation was completely unacceptable. That Lenovo's warranty should be more specific that it only covers the electrical hardware, and that I was led to believe that my problem fell under the warranty. But more importantly, Lenovo's policies were not customer-friendly, and that they had lost a customer.
Put simply, Lenovo's customer service should nurture and grow a loyal customer base. It has done the exact opposite on me.
It just seems like Lenovo doesn't care about the ordinary customer.

Some Questions I Have About the GE70 Apache Pro

Hi Y'all,
I'm new here to the MSI Community and am looking to make my first purchase of a MSI Notebook. I'm looking at the new GE 70 Apache Pro because of the budget I have to work with thanks to having to go out and spend $6K to get my car fixed( but that's another story for a whole other day and a whole other online forum). I also have a ton of other gear that I carry with me on a daily basis so weight is critical to me. Forgive me because this is going to be my first real experience with Solid State Drives so if I ask something that seems stupid or dumb I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to them. I'm purchasing the Samsung 840 Evo 120GB mSata SSD, yes I would love to go out and get a bigger capacity SSD but again have to think of the budget, and I understand the basics of doing the actual physical installation into the computer itself but am a little unclear about certain things.
1. How do I get the OS installation onto the SSD itself?
2. Do I have to do anything special in the BIOS to get the computer to recognize the SSD?
3. As far as the recovery partition goes should I leave that on the actual mechanical hard drive or transfer that to the SSD as well?
I'm looking at the Apache Pro 012 with the 4th Gen i7 4700, 12 GB DDR3, 1 TB 7200RPM HD, and the Nvidia GTX 860M. Yes I would have loved to have purchased a top of the line GT Dominator Series laptop with all of this work already done for me, but the budget wouldn't allow me to do so. I don't do all that much as far as gaming goes. I play World of Warplanes and World of Tanks and that's as far as my gaming experience goes. I mainly use my machines for doing amatuer photography and working with Visual Studio and other App Development IDE's so as far as the Apache Pro goes I feel it will be the best fit for me inside my budget. Any assistance y'all can offer me would be greatly appreciated and I want to thank you all in advance for your help.

1. How do I get the OS installation onto the SSD itself?
Burn and prepare MSI Recovery DVDs, then:
Disconnect/remove your HDD, and leave the mSata SSD installed only.
Then use the burned recovery DVDs to restore it over the SSD.
Once you can boot your OS from the SSD and restore is complete,
install again your HDD, and adjust boot prioroty 1st boot: SSD
Or other options is to do a new fresh OS install on the SSD, instead using MSI's recovery disks,
other steps are the same.

On your original HDD leave everything as is, don't format it and don't change defaults partition configuration, ie: leave it as is.
By that way you will preserve the stock configuration and will have extra backup of urgent cases:
After your OS is setup on you SSD, you can boot from your HDD,
and to make OS image backup of your system partition [or assume will be one 128GB partition of your SSD]
and to create backup image, you can do this with Acronis True image or similar.
By this way if you have OS failure [installed on SSD], or SSD failure,
you can always boot your original config by pressing F11 and choose HDD,
then to use Acronis to restore the last know working by desired way OS backup over the SSD,
or over the new SSD

About the interface web oracle database express edition

Hi
I want execute a export from web interface I click on link "data" I choose the object table and after I click on link "download" but the file export at format csv contain only the lines which I see on the interface web .
is it possible to export all rows of the table object in CSV file ?
think

There are many ways to skin that cat, i.e. just using sqlplus and spooling to a file:
set pagesize 0 verify off feedback off linesize 500 trimspool on
spool filename.csv
select <col1> || ',' || <col2>[|| ','||<colN>] as csvout from <table>;
spool off
If there are date (or any of the timestamp) datatypes you'll want to be specific about the output format, i.e. use to_char( <col>, 'yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss')...
Also may want to have [var]char column values wrapped in single quotes, just add them in- i.e. ...''''||<col>||'''' it takes two single quotes inside a literal to get one in the output.
There will still be some stuff in the spool file needing cleanup, like the 'spool off' command and an echo of the SQL if you're running sqlplus interactively, don't think there's any way to turn off that echo. 'set echo off' doesn't do it as one would think.

how about the Chinese language doc. Able to use with the My Lyric Book program?

I'm not sure where you see that the links I gave suggested that. The iPhoto link (quoted below) in step 4 suggests dragging the library to the new location. You can do that in Finder by dragging the library to the external disk in the Finder sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar in Finder, go to the Finder View menu and click Show Sidebar. If the external disk isn't visible in the sidebar, go to the Finder Preferences, click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window, and put a checkmark in front of External disks in the Devices section.
You can move your entire iPhoto library to a different computer, a hard disk, or another location on your computer.
Important: Before you move your iPhoto library, it’s a good idea to back it up to a DVD or external hard disk.
Move your iPhoto library
If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it.
Quit iPhoto.
In the Finder, choose your home folder (it’s usually named after you).
Open the Pictures folder (in the home folder) to locate the iPhoto Library file.
Drag the iPhoto Library file to a new location on your computer.
Open iPhoto.
In the window that appears, select the library you want, and then click Choose.

So does that mean if a new one comes out i have to donate again for the mod?
Also what kind of donation are we talking about? like a couple of euro's?
If possible i would like to know how to do also for future bios release (so i can do it myself for my own laptop if it aint TO hard that is)

So curious about the digitiser thinkpad yoga

Hey so for about a month now Ive been obsessed with these laptop hybryds specifically with the digitizers and pressure sensativity. As I do lots of digital drawing and arty stuff on the computer, the idea of being able to carry around something like that at such an affordable cost really excites me.
So after doing lots of research on the subject I found that the most popular and known seemed to be the microsoft durface pro, and obviously I was skeptical about the whole n trig thing but so many reviews stressed that there was little difference between them and wacom so I decided to buy the surface pro 3.
I was dissapointed with the stylus, I found that my galaxy note works so much nicer and their technology come from wacom.
I sent it back after a few days as I realised it was for me, the thinkpad yoga I have recently ordered fromt the states at a really good price for the 8gb i7 model with the pen and diitaser.
Im wondering if anyone knows many artists who use this device for drawing or photoshop? Im going to be studying animation later this year so Im hoping everything works okay, there isnt all that much information about it that I can find compared to the surface pro 3.. Im really exited about it anyway.
Does anyone know how lenovos thinkpad yoga usibility for their wacom digitser compares to samsungs with their galaxy note line? thanks

Since posting this question, I did a couple tests.
It appears (not sure why) that the motion scaling effect loses some detail at times. I had written a sentence using quotes. For some reason, the quotes were partially cutoff on the screen when scaling with the Motion Tab, but did appear when using the Distance or X Scale function under the Controls Tab.
Distance and X Scale it will be.
Curious.

Confused about the default schema

Hi,
I am a little bit confused about the schema concept.
I want to create a new schema called APP and then create several users and roles based on the schema APP. The default schema for the users should be APP achema.
How can I make the schema APP the default schema for the new users that I am creating?
I feel that there are some schema design concepts that I have to learn. Is there any resource on the internet that I can read and learn more about oracle schema design best practices?
Any help would be appreciated,
Ali

A schema holds object definitions, and in the case of table & index objects the schema also holds the data.
A user owns the schema.
Therefore the user 'owns the definitions (including any functions, procedures, sequences, tabels, etc.)
Other users may be granted access to some, or all, of the objects in a schema. This is done through the 'GRANT ...' command. For example, consider the following steps:
1) create user app_owner
2) create table object test owned by the app_owwner
3) create user app_user
4) grant select, update, insert and delete on app_owner's test table to app_user
5) add synonyms to avoid needing to qualify the table's schema name.
done as follows:

A quick rant about the HP Pavilion 15 g021nr

Hello I just wanted to make a quick post about the g021nr and why it runs so badly. first off i got this laptop for christmas last year and had no coice on what i was getting as it was a supprise (it being christmas and all) but since then i have grown to dislike it more and more. My biggest question is why in the world would you put a 1.35GHz Processor in ANY pc as far into technology as we are. i understand it was probably to make a cheaper system but it just doesn't work and i guaruntee that I am NOT the only one that thinks this. it could have at least had a 1.8GHz or better processor because it can hardly handle a brand new OS that is supposed to run better than the last one. I am sorry if i posted this in the wrong section i didnt know where else to post it. -Alex

Hi,

New info about the whine, could this be true?

We all call the whine you get when your are idle called the CPU whine. I believe we discussed how the spinning or some field that produces the sound that we hear. Well according to one person at the apple store he says it is coming from this speakers. He said that the "tiny electromagnetic field that the processor creates has some how maybe through wireing or that the speaker is so close to the field that the speaker amplifies the sound." Now what I want to know is if this could be true or this could be the case. If it is the case, the problem might be a little easier to fix, but then again, why does it go away at different times? And I quote again "different usages could create a different field which would produce a different sound." Well this is deffinately a new idea that I don't remember talking about.

The Power converter is the most likely source of the whine (singing). When you run a CPU intesive app., the CPU is drawing more power, causing the power converter's operating point to change. It's probably still singing, just a tune higher than you can hear.
The AC Power converter is a Switched converter (transistors called FETs are turned on and off to "chop-up" the AC source voltage/current,) and this allows the converter to change the Power from 115V AC to say 9-12V DC.
The switching frequency (or a harmonic of that frequency) is what you are hearing, and specifically what your are hearing is either the vibration of the plates or the copper coils in a transformer.
Common switching frequencies of AC/DC converters today is typically anywhere from 100KHz up to several megahertz (MHz.) It turns out that the higher the switching frequency, the smaller you can make the Power Brick. Human Hearing is usually in the 10Hz to 20KHz (for the gifted.)

About the 25,000 track limit

I've got a question about the 25,000 track limit. I'm aware that it's 25k uploaded tracks, and that tracks I purchased from iTunes don't count against that.
However, is there a way of finding out how many of my tracks in the cloud are these "don't count against the quota" tracks? I'm nowhere near 25k, I think I have about 10,500 - but I am curious how many tracks up there I have that are the non counting kind.

Aah, I didn't realise you had already signed up.
In that case, create a smart playlist where the criteria is any of:
iCloud Status is matched
iCloud Status is uploaded
The number of songs in that playlist is what counts against the 25,000 limit.
