Advanced Planning for the retail industry

Hi,
First, I would like to know the best solutions for planning in the retail industry and if you can share with me more detail about these solutions.
Second, I want to understand the SCM menu....I know that under the point Advanced Planner and Optimzer are the DP, SNP, PPDS and GATP solutions......but I want to understand the point Forecasting and Replenishment, is it for the retail industry or what it is for?....how does it interact with SAP-Retail or the solutions that you explained in the first point?
Thanks a lot!

SAP has avoided making any recommendations. I specifically asked one of their architects a similar question a couple of weeks ago.
In general the X12 and EDIFACT standards are king within the retail industry. Within the United States X12 has been the default standard for many years and is used by all the giants. Within the European Union EDIFACT is the default standard and is used by the vast majority of retailers. However the UK has a standard which is called Tradacoms. In my experience UK retailers have, when pushed, also offered EDIFACT messaging. It should be noted that these formats are not XML. However many XML convertors exist for them. X12, EDIFACT and Tradacoms are what are commonly referred to as Traditional EDI.
The GS1 standard called eCOM is being increasingly adopted. I do know that Accenture and CapGemini have recently been heavily involved in promoting GS1 and eCOM. This is because eCOM standard is realistically the most heavily backed replacement for the Traditional EDI standards. The several of the largest US and European retailers and manufactures are now throwing their weight behind eCOM.

Balance Sheet Planning in the Banking industry

I am trying to understand the peculiarities of implementing Planning in the banking industry, especially for balance sheet planning. I am assuming a typical bank which serves individuals and companies with various products. There are a few areas that I wanted inputs on:
a) What would be the key drivers for such a bank
b) How are these drivers factored into modelling the Planning app.. as in are these drivers corporate of branch level or both
c) How do the products offered by the bank affect balance sheet planning
Again due to the generic nature of the request I am expecting a wide range of answers. Hence please chime in with your inputs.
Thanks in advance for you help.

How to treat the accounting entries for the Process industry?

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am working with the Process industry client. Here one raw material goes with chain of process. In one plant half of the process will carried out and the rest of the half process would be carried in another plant. the entire accounting entry would be as follow.
Plat A
While Purchasing the RAW material the account entries are
Raw material Inventory A a/c     Dr
     To GR/IR a/c                Cr
While issuing material to process order
Consumption a/c      Dr
     To Raw material A inventory   A/c      Cr
While the FG receipt into the stock
FG B inventory      a/c     Dr
     To COGM   a/c      Cr
Stock Transfer from Plant A to Plant B
Goods issue from Plant A
Goods in Transit   a/c        Dr
To FG B inventory      a/c     Cr
Plant B
Goods Receipt at Plant B
FG B inventory a/c      Dr
     To Goods in Transit a/c      Cr
While issuing Goods to process order
Consumption a/c      Dr
     To FG B inventory a/c     Cr
While Final FG receipt
FG C inventory a/c Dr
     To COGM a/c          Cr
In this case mine consumption account gets hitted two times. One at Plant A and another at Plant B. So in my P&L account the consumption will be in two times. In this case how should i treat the accounting entry??
Advance thanks for the help.

Deva

Hi Ravi,
I have discussed with my user. The business requirement is they want the plant wise Balancesheet and Financial statement. If i do the stock transfer from one plant to another it is very difficult for me to get the balance sheet. What we are planning is while transfering one plant to another the FG invertory credit agaist Intra transfer account (One P&L account) then in the receiving end the intra transfer a/c debit to FG inventory so that i can get the trial balance.
I will get back to you once i get the solution for this. Let me know if you have some idea on this.
Thank you.
Deva.

Wireless in the Retail Industry

I have come across a few of my clients in the retail industry that have both bar code scanners and cash registers that connect to the wireless network. I just wonder how other retail giants deploy wireless networks considering the weaknesses in WEP. Most small bar code scanners don't support EAP and some may not even support WEP.
Any scenarios that could be thrown at me in terms of deploying a wireless newtork in retail industry with wireless bar code scanners and cash registers.
Thanks in advance!

Cisco's new WLAN security architecture goes well beyond traditional WLAN security to provide the following enhancements:
* Centralized user-based authentication integrated with network logon
* Dynamic WEP key distribution when integrated with Cisco AccessControl Server 2000 version 2.6
* Broad client and operating system support
* Framework for future security policies and integration of security into other network services such as mobility and QoS
The following is a good document which will give some WLAN case studies.

Is it necessary to create a Billing Plan for the Service Contracts

Hi All,
Is it necessary to create a billing plan for the service contracts.
My requirement.
In CRM 7.0, we created a service contract. For the item in that service contract there is a Billing Plan tab.
In that tab we have the dates for Period, Billing Date etc.
Now our requirement is to get the Billing Date quarterly. For this we created date rules and date profiles and assigned these date profiles to header and item level transactions.
And we are able to see the date rules under the drop down of the billing date.
I copied the standard date rule BILL004 to ZBILL004.
But when we changed to our date rule it is not changing to quarterly date.
Can you please let me know what are the configurations to be done for this.
Is the billing plan has to be created for this kind of scenario.
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

CBO generating different plans for the same data in similar Environments

Hi All
I have been trying to compare an SQL from 2 different but similar environments build of the same hardware specs .The issue I am facing is environment A, the query executes in less than 2 minutes with plan mostly showing full table scans and hash join whereas in environment B(problematic), it times out after 2 hours with an error of unable to extend table space . The statistics are up to date in both environments for both tables and indexes . System parameters are exactly similar(default oracle for except for multiblock_read_count ).
Both Environment have same db parameter for db_file_multiblock_read_count(16), optimizer(refer below),hash_area_size (131072),pga_aggregate_target(1G),db_block_size(8192) etc . SREADTIM, MREADTIM, CPUSPEED, MBRC are all null in aux_stats in both environment because workload was never collected i believe.
Attached is details about the SQL with table stats, SQL and index stats my main concern is CBO generating different plans for the similar data and statistics and same hardware and software specs. Is there any thing else I should consider .I generally see environment B being very slow and always plans tend to nested loops and index scan whereas what we really need is a sensible FTS in many cases. One of the very surprising thing is METER_CONFIG_HEADER below which has just 80 blocks of data is being asked for index scan.
show parameter optimizer
optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 2
optimizer_features_enable string 10.2.0.4
optimizer_index_caching integer 0
optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100
optimizer_mode string ALL_ROWS
optimizer_secure_view_merging boolean TRUE
**Environment**
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE     10.2.0.4.0     Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
Note: : There are slight difference in the no of records in the attached sheet.However, I wanted to tell that i have tested with exact same data and was getting similar results but I couldn't retain the data untill collecting the details in the attachment

Hi Paul,
I misread your question initially .The system stats are outdated in both ( same result as seen from aux_stats) .I am not a DBA and do not have access to gather system stats fresh.

Multiple Executions Plans for the same SQL statement

Dear experts,
awrsqrpt.sql is showing multiple executions plans for a single SQL statement. How is it possible that one SQL statement will have multiple Executions Plans within the same AWR report.
Below is the awrsqrpt's output for your reference.

Dear experts,
awrsqrpt.sql is showing multiple executions plans for a single SQL statement. How is it possible that one SQL statement will have multiple Executions Plans within the same AWR report.If you're using bind variables and you've histograms on your columns which can be created by default in 10g due to the "SIZE AUTO" default "method_opt" parameter of DBMS_STATS.GATHER__STATS it is quite normal that you get different execution plans for the same SQL statement. Depending on the values passed when the statement is hard parsed (this feature is called "bind variable peeking" and enabled by default since 9i) an execution plan is determined and re-used for all further executions of the same "shared" SQL statement.
If now your statement ages out of the shared pool or is invalidated due to some DDL or statistics gathering activity it will be re-parsed and again the values passed in that particular moment will determine the execution plan. If you have skewed data distribution and a histogram in place that reflects that skewness you might get different execution plans depending on the actual values used.
Since this "flip-flop" behaviour can sometimes be counter-productive if you're unlucky and the values used to hard parse the statement leading to a plan that is unsuitable for the majority of values used afterwards, 11g introduced the "adaptive" cursor sharing that attempts to detect such a situation and can automatically re-evaluate the execution plan of the statement.

Planning for the future...

I've just started using Garageband to write my own music but as I'm more used to pro studios I'm finding it a little limiting, and consequently looking to upgrade to Logic.
This will probably mean buying a new machine. So, can anyone give me some bits of advice?
- What is the minimum size of Mac I should be looking at?
- Will any off-the-shelf mac be able to cope with running Logic and recording, or do I need to get anything customised?
- Should I use one machine exclusively for music?
- I will be recording anything from vocals to guitars, so what sort of interface should I be looking at?
- Is it as simple to write songs in Logic, or does it make sense to use GB as a "scratch pad" for building basics and then transfer to Logic to "take it to the next level"? Or am I just over complicating things?
- Should I really be doing this? Help...

1. You've got to be more specific
2. Yes, but a RAM upgrade is customary. 1GB should be considered an absolute minimum. A Hard drive for audio is also good if you use many tracks or samples,
3. That depends on what else you do. I don't do it. It is a good idea if you need it to work under high stress sutuation every day...otherwise you could start with 1 and see how things go.
4. Vocals to guitars...well if that's all you need...then an interface with 1 in and 2 outs would be the absolute minimum....realistically you should plan for the future. Get a sytem which has more I/O than you think you'll need and is expandable...someday you may need to record a drumkit and may have to start all over if you chose poorly. For I/O... I would consider more than you think you'll need. If you think you may need 2 ins max... consider 4 ins 4 outs...this is very small number of I/Os today. But if you know your needs ahead of time getter better converters instead of more is a very good idea (espescially if the system can expand well).
5. They share amny things... I find GB cumbersome to edit, whereas somebody else finds it's lack of features perfect for no distraction. I think eventually you'd just start using Logic full time. There are things GB won't touch.

I'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan. heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill...

To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

MS Project plan for the upgrade of 10.7 SC to 11i

Can some kind person supply me with a MS Project plan for the
upgrade of 10.7SC to 11i. Our applications are GL/AP/FA/Project
Acc. Any other doco would be most helpful.
Thank you
[email protected]

We have completed our first upgrade of FA from 10.7 SC to 11i. Most issues arose from the introduction of WorkFlow for Account Generator. In addition we have had difficulty activating the "security by book" new feature. This is still under investigation. We upgraded PO, AP, FA and GL. I can say that more than half of our time has been spent resolving FA issues.
The length of time the task will take will depend on which functionality you use. Have you seen the upgrade kit on metalink? it has all the upgrade steps. From that you could determine how many steps you need to perform.
Hope this helps.

Is there any prepaid plans for the iPhone 5s?

I was wondering if there were any prepaid plans for the 5s.

I tried to live chat with the carriers up but for almost everyone of them I had to have an account so that didn't work out too well.
