Advantages of using SRM over R/3
Hi,
What is the advantage of extending the contract management from R/3 to SRM do we gain any advantage in this?
Can we have SUS implemented to Ver 4 classic scenario.

Can you please tell me what the benefits that we yeild out when it is extended from R/3.

Advantages of using BO over tools provided in BEx
Hi,
I am wanting to know if there is any documentation enlisting the advantages of using BO over the tools provided in BEx.
Also, what is the advantage of using BO analysing data from cubes in BI 7.0 than accessing data from SAP R/3 directly.
Thank you.Hi
Advantages of BO (as well as other Query/Reporting) are that they provide robust end users interfaces
in terms of designing queries, reports and also run on a standalone desktop client. Their user interface is
easy to use and much easier environment to design manus, drop-down boxes/lists and buttons and also provide wizards to help users guide. These tools can also work against several heterogenous data sources.
There are several factors one needs to keep in mind when selecting 3rd Party tools for SAP BW. A few are listed below:
BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEX query. This causes extra overhead because here you have BEX resources and then you add up BO resources to manage infrmation to/from BEX query over the OLEDB interface. Some vendors, like arcplan, use OLAP BAPI to access BW data. This API has somewhat lower overhead because it bypasses the OLEDB for OLAP layer.
As you know that BEX is MSExcel based. It is not easy to build sophisticatecd user interfaces without doing extensive VBA or Macro programming.
Thanks & Regards

Advantages of using activities over outlook
Hello, All
Can any one explain me the advantages of using activities over outlook? In Outlook you can schedule the activities for the whole day, see if the period of an activity clashes with another activity so you can reschedule it etc.
In short, can anyone explain why would anyone prefer using Activity Management over Outlook?
If any documentation is available please mail me at [email protected]

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes. -

Is there any advantage in using Vault over Time Machine?
Hi all,
Yesterday I imported around 6000+ pictures from iPhoto and consolidated them into my Aperture library. After much re-organisation into projects, folders etc. I decided to update my backup Vault to preserve all my hard work. The Vault is located on a connected external drive with plenty of spare storage. I had previously backed up successfully to the vault when there was only a few dozen pictures in my library.
After initiating the Vault update process I then left it to get on it (and to have dinner and then watch the football...) and after several hours was dismayed to find that the process appeared to be stuck at just over 50% completion. It was obvious that no further progress was being made.
I was also concerned that there appeared to be no mechanism to cancel the process and the only course of action I could take was to apply a Force Quit against Aperture - not something that I care to do, if I can possibly avoid it.
After a rudimentary search of this community I saw that several others had experienced the same problem - although some suggested that a fix had been applied in recent versions (although I am running the latest version).
Given this, I'm reluctant to use the Vault again - particularly as there appears to be no means of cancelling a stuck job. I do however use Time Machine, so my questions are:
1) Do I really need to use Vault if I have Time Machine making regular backups of my Aperture library to an external drive?
2) Does using Vault give any advantages over Time Machine?
3) Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the current version of Aperture (v3.3)?
4) Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
Thanks in anticipation,
Simon.SImon,
Vault and Time Machine address different needs. Probably you will want to have both.
The advantage of Time Machine: incremental backups of previous versions, very compact storage. And you can integrate it into your regular backup of the whole system and include the regular masters as well. But the disadvantage: Time Machine decides for you, what will be deleted, if the backup drives get full. You do not have control over what will be saved and what not from the previous versions.
The advantage of vaults: You can make full backups of your library for well defined moments in time - snapshots of important states. I'd create a vault, whenever I make a major upgrade of the system at least.
Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
If the graphical user interface is unresponsive, like when updating a vault, you can use the Terminal to send the "termination signal" to Aperture: Sometimes this will succeed, even if the "Quit" button does not work:
Look for the Process ID of Aperture in the Activity Monitor (launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor" and click the CPU heading. This will bring Aperture close to the top of the list. Make a note of the PID number in the first column, in this case 66550.
Launch a Terminal window and enter the following command:
kill -TERM 66550 (insert Aperture's PID instead of 66550)
This will send the "Software Termination Signal - TERM to Aperture, the same as pressing the "Quit" button should do, but send it directly, and not from the GUI that is unresponsive. This way I always succeded in cancelling a vaul update without force quitting. Not all processes can be terminated this way, however. The Terminal.app is also in the Applications > Utilities folder.

Advantages of using PCK over normal XI adapters
Hi Gurus,
We are in a situation where in we need to choose either implementing PCK or a complete XI . We are a medium sized manufacturing company who need to talk to customers and vendors who already have XI.
Please let me know what are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a PCK over a full blown XI .
Should we implement XI itself or a PCK would suffice our needs.
Thanks

Advantages of using RDF over JSP
Hi
1. What are the advantages if i save the reports in .rdf or .rep or as .jsp for a paper layout reports.
2. To run the batch is it necessary to save the report as .rdf or .rep.
3. Can we schedule these reports in Job scheduler(OEM).
Regards
RanganathHello Ranganath,
1. You can save your reports either as RDF or JSP to run them to paper. Both report formats store the paper layout information. REP files are run-only report definitions, in that they are pre-compiled and cannot be edited/opened in Reports Builder.
2. Both RDF and JSP reports can be run in batch mode.
3. Similarly, reports in both these formats can be scheduled.
One difference between the two formats is that JSPs are pure text files and can be opened and edited in any text editor. On the other hand, RDFs and REPs are binary format files. Further, only JSPs can be deployed on the web using the JSP engine.

Hi,
Could any one please explain the advantages of using SAP SRM over MM module. As per me we can de most of the activities in MM except some vendor related activities (and that even if SUS is used).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
LalitHi Lalit,
All advantages of using SRM and MM module is in Plan-Driven Procurement documentation on service.sap.com/instguides -> SRM.
Generally planning in APO or MRP in an ERP system calculates the quantity and materials required. This requirement can be transffered to the EBP system. Requisitions from SAP Plant Maintanance or Project System are also possible requirements.
The requisitions are passed to EBP. If the data is complete and unique, purchase orders can be created automatically. If the data is missing, the proffesional purchaser has to complete the missing information in Sourcing or via Process Purchase Orders. An option for the professional buyer is to assign un-sourced PO to an RFQ and send it out for bids.
The proffesional purchaser completes the orders, assings source of supply, add or deletes item.
Once the order is complete it is issued automatically to R/3. XML is the upcoming medium, since the data can be automatically integrated in more and more supplier's systes, or You can send orders by e-mail, fax or print them.
Goods receipt is either done in EBP by supplier via an XML confirmation, by employee who requested the item by general goods recipient or in the backend system. Inventory is updated in backend.
The invoice is processed in EBP manually by the requestor or an accountant submitted by the supplier via an XML invoice, possibly from SUS or backend system.
You can also look in Self-Service Procurement documentation on:

What is the advantage of using Yosemite on my iMac over 10.9.5
What is the advantage of using Yosemite over Lion on my iMac? Is it any faster, slower or what?
Before upgrading to a new operating system, here are a couple considerations:
1. If you are having problems with your current system, full version upgrades
will make them worse. Fix all issues before making the upgrade.
2. Make sure that any third party hardware is compatible with the new operating
system, i.e. drivers available to support the OS.
3. The hidden cost item of needing to upgrade apps to work on the new OS.
If your any of your favorite or mission critical applications are not compatible,
expect the possibility of needing to purchase upgrades of those apps so that
they will work on the new OS.
4. If you rely on your computer for your livelihood, be absolutely sure that you
have a backup strategy and plan to quickly recover should there be any issues.
There has been many a complaint on this forum that new OS upgrades have
have ruined their business and had no recovery strategy in place. Besides,
anyone relying on a computer for their livelihood is REQUIRED to have such
a strategy in place regardless of OS upgrades as anything can happen at
any time.
5. If everything is working fine and dandy for you currently, you need to ask if
any of the new features of an OS of any use to you. If not, then perhaps
a "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy is what you should follow. -
What are the advantages of using grub2 over just grub? Why would I want to upgrade?
The coolest thing about Grub2, as far as I'm concerned, is that it supports booting off of software raid natively (and LVM volumes as well, I think), the downside is that there's really not that much detailed documentation available on how to do that(at least at the time I tried it) ... or on Grub2 configuration in general (again, at the time I tried it), I tried to use it when I got some extra hard-drives and began running on Software Raid, but in the end I gave up and went back to Grub, because I already knew how to use it and the work-around's to make Grub boot software raid are really not that bad. (you just need a separate non-raid or raid 1/boot partition).
I think sometime in the not too distant future (perheps next Sunday, AD) Debian/Ubuntu are switching to Grub2. I imagine the documentation situation will get better if that happens, and I might try and switch again. For now, Grub gets the job done for me. -
What are the advantages of using TaskFlow over traditional J2EE apps?
All answers are welcomeADF task flows provide a modular approach for defining control flow in an application. Instead of representing an application as a single large JSF page flow, you can break it up >into a collection of reusable task flows. Each task flow contains a portion of the application's navigational graph.Read this blogpost for more details:

As part of proposal activity, I need to identify cost, technical and business benifits of investing SRM over and above R/3 solution. In this regard I need to find relevant answers for the following queries. Can any of the esteemed members of the forum help me out?
1. What is so useful about SRM compared to ECC 6? Of
course, everything is based on business requirements
and investment capability by the client. However, from
an industry perspective (say manufacturing) cant we
have additional developments made to ECC6 rather than
huge investments in business suites like SRM? What
could be the differences between ECC6 (MM and
Logistics) and SRM?
2. I understand that SAP-MDM is essential if SRM is
implemented especially for Catalog and Content
management. Is it not just sufficient with SRM rather
than investments into SAP-MDM? Any big advantage with
SAP-MDM for SRM?
3. Is there any disadvantages in implementing SRM
other than investment costs to the client. Just gave a
thought the client may think later after
implementation that all functionalities built could
have been achieved through ECC6 instead of having
additional investment into SRM?
Could you please share your thoughts on the above and
if possible can you please let me know where I can find relevant study
materials?
