Activity dependant planning and Activity independent planning

Hello gurus,
Can anyone please explain the difference between the Activity Dependant Planning and Activity Independant Planning with some examples
thanks
rihana
Please, search Web

Hi Rihana,
Activity indipendent planning : Activity-independent cost planning covers both primary and secondary costs, but does not refer to a specific activity type. Eg : internal and external distribution
Activity-dependent planning : Activity-dependent planning of primary and secondary costs, on the other hand, enables you to plan both fixed and variable costs. You may require this functionality if your costing system uses flexible standard costing based on marginal costs. In this release you can carry out flexible standard costing based on full costs.
This means fixed costs are used to calculate the cost rates and are in effect converted to variable costs.

Difference between client dependent table and client independent table

hi all,
i m new in sap pls tell me the difference between client dependent table and client independent table.
tell me in detail.
thanks and regards
vikas saini

HI
Client dependent Means if you create that data in one client is limited to that client only and it is not accessable in other clients
Like SAP SCRIPTS and STD texts data
where as Client Independent means the data if you create in one client that is available in that as well as in other clients
Like SMARTFORMS, All dictionary Objects data and Repository objects data like Programs, Fun modules, tables etc..
There is no specific reason behind why scripts are client dep[endent and smartforms are client independent!!!
As for SAP -- Scripts are called client dependent because if you create client in say,200 it would be available in that only.If you want to test the script in client 300 then it won't be there,you will have to go to transaction se71 in 300 .Then Utilities-> Copy from client.Give the source as 200 & form name(i.e. script name) & copy.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:
SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s.SAPscript forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively passive objects, with minimal embedded logic. These forms were designed to be driven and controlled by ABAP programs, much in the way ABAP programs read in database tables to produce reports;
if you ever download a SAPscript form (e.g., via utility program RSTXSCRP), and look at the portable text file it produces you'll see what I mean.
Many text objects (e.g., invoice header texts) are bound directly to documents which are client-dependent, so it makes sense for these text objects to also be client-dependent. From a complexity standpoint, SAPscript forms are close enough to these text objects where I can see how it made sense at the time to make them client-dependent too.

Client dependent objects and client independent objects

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to find which objects are client dependent and which are client independent? Recently, I changed a small GUI settings in testing client and the changes were happened in production also automatically without a transport request, how can it be possible?
How can I identify similar other objects changing whom it impacts other client w/o a transport request?
Kindly share your views on it.
Thanks a lot..
Regards
Saurabh

Just small correction to Rahul answer - tables with field defined as data element MANDT are client dependent.
Usualy that field will not be shown in SE16 and SE16N transactions but you will find it's definition in table definition in SE11 - ABAP Dictionary Maintenance transaction, content of this field is visible when clicking on icon

Activity Independent Cost and fixed activity dependent cost

Hello
In cost centre planning, how an activity independent cost is different from a fixed activity dependent cost? Are not the treatment of the two is same. B/c both ara fixed in nature and do not vary with activity output?

Hi
Activity Dependant cost is treated as Variable cost.... When you calculate act price, such costs are only divided by this act type
Activity Independant cost are only for Fixed Costs... These costs are split between all act types of a cost center during Actual Activity Price calculation

Activity independent in a work center

In a work center, When you define an activity-dependent quantity, the cost estimate is based in quantity. i.e.: lot size is 1000 and activity price is 10 usd.
if you change the lot size to 500, activity price will be 5 usd.
So, in case of activity-independent (i.e.: time of setup machine) that is independent of the quantity, how you customize this in a work center?

Hello Cetalina,
Set up time is not an activity independent for the machine... If you really have set up time for a machine as an acitivity then you have to assign this activity via standard value key.
Set up also base quantity dependent (Lot size dependent). In material master "work scheduling view" you can define the set up time for suppose base quantity 1000 is 10 minutes then every time during scheduling this time will be multiplied with base quantity...You have to manintained formula also. For costing create as activity as set up time to cost center and assign this to work center in costing tab with formula.
If you want to define the lot size independent then you can define total in house production time as lot size independent in the same view. There is no key to define setup time as independent time.
IF helpful please rewrads your points.OR let me know any more doubts.

Plant Dependent and Plant Independent Requirement.

Hi,
I want to know in details, meaning of "Plan dependent Requirement" and "Plan Independent Requirement".
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
PIR(planned independent requirement) is created for the parent(finished) material in tcode MD61
Then in MD04 you can check the same
Dependent requirement will automatically get created for the child materials(semi finished,raw) of the parent material for which PIR is created
Hope the above is clear

Activity Independent Costs -Splitting Equally

Dear All,
When I try to split the Activity Independent Costs among various activity types ,Independent costs are being splitted equally among the activity types,even though I have selected splitting method as 12 (i.e. Activity Quantity) while configuring the splitting structure.
Actually the system should have splitted the independent costs based on Activity qty instead of splitting the costs equally.
Please help me out as how get the splitting of costs based activity qty.
Regards
Su

Hi
Your splitting structure has 2 parts
1. Where in you define rule.. here you defined rule based on 012 (Qct Qty)
2. You create Assignments and assign your splitting rule here... I hope you have assigned the splitting rule here in the assignments
3. I hope the fiscal year from which you assigned cost centers to splitting rule in OKEW is also in line
4. Also check if you defined your target cost version in case you are doing splitting based on actual cost (KSS2)
5. Also, in splitting rule, I hope you have assigned a cost element group containing all your cost elements to this group and also your activity types between whom the costs are to be split up (In the tab "Selection for assignment)"
Once you do this, activity indep costs split based on act qty only... (KSS2/KSS4)...

Client dependent and client independent in ALE

I am going through pdf learning of an ALE scenario,i couldnot get wat is meant by client Independent and client dependent.
How can i conclude
Create message type (WE81){color:green} Client independent {color}
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
u2022 Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to add a new type
u2022 Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
u2022 Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) {color:green} Client independent {color}
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to create the link
u2022 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
u2022 Save and exit
u2022 Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to create the link
u2022 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
u2022 Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
DOC NAME: ALE_SCENARIO_DEVELOPMENT_PROCEDURE
Version 1 Page 6 of 16
ALE Scenario Development Guide
u2022 Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
u2022 Click on New entries
u2022 Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
u2022 Save and exit.
You have now created an object that weu2019ll use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) {color:green} Client dependent {color}
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
u2022 Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
u2022 Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
u2022 Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
u2022 For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
u2022 Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
u2022 Save the entries.

A client is an independent business unit within an R/3 System, Data in the R/3 are classified as cleint-Dependent and client-independent.
Client-independent data such as ABAP Programs, R/3 repository objects throught the entire system. Other data is client-dependent. meaning, it can be viewed from one client. Cleint-dependent data includes customizing application and user data.
Eg.
Scripts are client dependent, means the changes done to SAP scripts in particular client will not be reflected in other client.
Smartforms are client independent, means changes done in one client will be reflected in all the clients.
Server : ECC6
Client : 100 , 200 , 300 , 400
Now suppose you have developed report in DV server client 100.
Then you will be able to see that in all clients.
Hence this is called as client independent. You can change anywhere and changes will be reflected to all ...
Now suppose you have developed a script in DV client 100.
You will not be able to see that in client 200 or 300 or 400 unless ytou copy that from client since it is client dependent.

SALES ORDER AND CUSTOMER INDEPENDENT REQUIREMENT

What is the difference between sales order and customer independent requirement?
Where these are used?

Hi Sachin,
If you get an order from your customer you create a sales order in your system. Refering to this SO you can create (e.g.) delivery document and issue your goods from your stock.
In case of PIR (planned independent requirements) you don't know who your customer is. You can use these requirements e.g. for forecasts, MTS environment.
In MTO environment SO will generate PrdOrd, and after the confirmation your goods will get to SO-special stocks from where you can ship them out. You won't produce in this environment independently from SO.
In MTS environmnet you can use both SO and PIR. E.g. in case of planning startegy 11 MRP doesn't calculate with your SO, only PIRs are considered. This strategy is very simple: you input your production plan as PIRs. These PIRs will generate PldOrd, then production orders will be issued and after confirmation your PIRs will disappear. It doesn't matter how many SOs you have, it doen't matter how high your stock levels are...MRP displays them only for information purpose.
In strategy 40 (MTS) both PIRs and SOs (and stock levels) are considered, and (one) purpose of PIRs is to level your production (you will produce even thiough your slaes figure are low > later you can fulfill high demands from stock and you won't have to increase your production quantities). SOs will consume PIRs based on the rules you define.

What's the best way to convert between pixels and device-independent units?

WHAT I HAVE:
Visual Basic 2010, .NET 4.0, WinForms
WHAT I NEED:
I need a way to convert back and forth between device-dependent units (i.e., pixels) and
device-independent units (i.e., inches, centimeters, points). The VB6Compatibility namespace has TwipsPerPixel methods, but I figure there's got to be a more elegant way (especially since my program didn't start in VB6).
Robert Gustafson

"Dots-per-inch" means "pixels-per-inch", right? If I'm right, then
XPixels = Graphics.DpiX * XInches : YPixels = Graphics.DpiY * YInches
and, conversely,
XInches = XPixels / Graphics.DpiX : YInches = YPixels / Graphics.DpiY
Is that correct?
(PS. Why not just tell me about the DpiX and DpiY properties, rather than making me click a link?)

Diff client depandent and client independent

HI,
what is different between client dependent and client independent.Please explain...
gaurav mittal

client dependent is when u make some configuration which will effect all the clients.. i mean changes are reflected in all clients
for eg access sequence,
client independent is when u make any changes in some client it will reflect in particular client in which u r working

Transport client dependent table and data

Hi,
How do you add a client dependent table and the entries inside to a transport?
Please help.
Thanks,
John
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 20, 2008 4:33 PM

Hi there!!!
go to Txn SE09, create a request type "Workbench Request".
1 . Go to the Sub task, select the 'Objects' Tab.
2. Enter the Program ID - R3TR
                  Object       - TABU
                  Object Name - (Your Required Table Name)
3. Now Press the Function Button on the right, Enter the Table Key, which is nothing but the value of the primary key fields of row to be sent, typed as one.
eq. to send material number 1 from MARA in client 100, following would be the table key:
100000000000000000001
where first 3 characters are for the client
and the remaining 18 characters are for the material number.
Another simple method would be to-
1. execute Txn se16 and display the required Table Contents.
2. Select the rows to be sent, by selecting the check boxes corresponding to those rows, and then selecting the Menu Option
Menu->Table Entry -> Transport Entries.
3. Create a request.
    the enties would be included in the request.
Hope This solves your Problem. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
