Are Business Areas obsolete with ECC 6.0 and the new GL?

I have long heard that SAP is not planning on supporting Business Areas long term. Howver in the help documenation they still have them listed.
One solution offered to remove them is: With the advent of new GL in ECC; the field profit center and the PCA ledger is now an integral part of new gl (FAGLFLEX). profit center and other custom fields can now easily be defined as a zero balance entity - which means it works exactly in similar fashion as BA use to work. In addition, you can mantain a PCA hierarchy and it is an attribute that appears on key objects in SAP i.e. material master, production order, purchase order etc.
However, for customers that are using both BA's and PC's already (for example using BA's to represent plant groupings and PC's along product lines) is there a real need to make a change and remove the BA's from the current system to avoid future problems?

Hi,
The answer is most probably Yes. However, those who are having business area and those who like the concept can continue. New GL has revolutionised the segmental concept which is very much needed for the day to day running of business and to meet the accounting standards which are becoming more rigid due to the prevalance of fraud across the world.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

  • So what exactly does limited to "one app" mean with a Pro account and the new prices?

    So it seems Pro has dropped in price but it is now limited to "one App".
    So what exactly does that "one App" mean?
    Only one tablet version or one phone version for a certain title?
    Or you can have a tablet & phone version including android & iOS for that one title?

    I think that everyone received it just now…
    Changes to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition
    Effective immediately, all customers who newly purchase or renew Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Professional Edition, will be able to publish only one app per license of DPS Professional Edition.
    Under this policy change, Professional Edition customers can publish an unlimited number of issues (.folio files) to a single app and distribute those issues based on purchased fulfillment bundles.
    An app created with a single license of DPS Professional Edition can be distributed to any or all of the marketplaces that DPS supports, including the Apple App Store (and Newsstand), Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and the Windows Store.
    In conjunction with this policy change, Adobe is reducing the price of a Professional Edition license to $4,800 USD annually (€3,600/¥480,000) or to $400 per month (€300/¥40,000) and will include 1,000 fulfillments annually. The number of fulfillments included with a monthly subscription remain unchanged.
    This policy does not apply to test or demo apps published using Professional Edition. The one-app-per-license policy applies only to an app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an agency, upon your renewal or purchase of Professional Edition, you can create only one app per Professional Edition license. If you have multiple clients for whom you are creating apps, either you as the agency or your client must purchase a Professional Edition license for each app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an existing Professional Edition customer and choose to renew your Professional Edition license at the end of your annual agreement, these changes, including the lower price point and 1,000 fulfillments, apply at that time. These changes do not apply to your existing DPS Professional Edition agreement and take effect only if you renew your license.
    DPS Professional Edition customers can continue to create unlimited Single Edition apps, which is unchanged under the new policy. A Single Edition app is defined as an app that includes one built-in or embedded folio.
    If you expect to publish three or more apps annually, we encourage you to contact your local reseller to discuss pricing for a multi-year Enterprise Edition license.
    Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and benefits not available through Professional Edition. These include app customization, integration with back-end business systems, in-app marketing tools, targeted content based on user entitlement, and the ability to publish apps privately.

  • I have a problem with my Internet Security and the new Firefox, where can I get the previous version which I had before my system crashed?

    Hi I use CA Internet Security Suite which checks ALL pages and searches, but it does not work with this version, also I wish to use Goggle Toolbar which ALSO does not work with this version where can I get the previous version? As my harddrive crashed I have had to install windows 7 and this version doesn't seem to allow me to change my homepage, why is this? Cheers Ernest

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Unable to fully sync with iPod Touch 1G and the (new/lat)est iTunes versions in a very old Windows XP Pro SP3 machine?

    Hi.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installations too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk '...' failed. The device timed out."
    "The iPod '...' cannot be synched. An internal device error occurred."
    Sometimes Windows XP Pro SP3 thinks my USB connection is not fast? Huh?
    No problems when I synched almost 8 GB of music to an iPod Nano 6G from the same machine and USB connector and port. Same collection, and random songs.
    I tried again on a borrowed old 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2008) with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes v10.6.3. Synced from its local HDD to it without any problems.
    So, I had an idea. I retried with iTunes v11.1.3.8, that I used end of 2013, in the same Windows XP Pro SP3 machine from scratch. It worked like the end of last year! No errors! Wow! :O
    OK, so what changed in iTunes after its v11.1.3.8 to cause this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
    I only see mdnsDSP from Apple in my WinSock Provider tabs in AutoRuns v11.70. I do remember I had a low memory error during a very long synchronization, but that only happened once. I doubt that is related to creating a new account especially after I rebooted my very old Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine.

  • Im stuck on either buying the latest ipad or waiting fpr the next generatons of ipads to come out.. Id like to get it as a gift for my mother but with ios8 coming soon and the new gen soon im stuck on if i should wait

    please help !

    You do realize that all models of the iPad currently out will be able to run iOS8? the 2nd gen iPad may not get all the features of iOS8 but those aren't for sale anymore so not an issue.
    If you need it now, buy an air now. If you can wait a couple of months, wait and see if a new model comes out later this year. There is a big press event scheduled for the 9th and it may include news of any upcoming models to be released for the holiday season.

  • Premiere Pro CC and the new Mac Pro - are all upgrades necessary?

    Monday I'm ordering the new Mac Pro because my Mid 2012 Mac Pro tower is simply too slow and crashy no matter how much money I sink into it. Thing is, every little upgrade I add onto this new Mac Pro is very expensive, so I want to make sure I don't add anything that won't make a difference in edit performance.
    My ultimate goal is to be able to work with 4k, and even 5k footage in 2014. More and more clients are giving me Red media, and my system right now can't handle it (I have to render proxy files for everything).
    Attached are my hardware upgrade options for my processor and graphics card. These options can only be offered when I order the computer. Neither the processor or the GFX card can be changed by me later. Note that these options alone almost double the computers's price (3600). As of now I assume that getting the fastest everything is the way to go, but is there any reason I should not go this high?

  • Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

    Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

    First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
    I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

    What do you mean it isn't' compatible?  What isn't compatible?
    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account.  Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

  • HT204370 My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
    Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
    That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
    Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

  • ESS implementation posibility with ECC 6.0 and EP 6.0

    Hi ,
    To implement ESS with ECC 6.0 and EP 6.0
    Any body can suggest for this implementation feasibility and  possibility.
    What are the Business packages has to down load and where can we get those BPs.?
    After importing into EP 6.0 , what are the configurations and settings required to get SAP HR screens/ivews (preview when we create after systems in EP),
    What are the prerequisites and hardware and software requirements for 8000 users (apprx) ?
    Any version upgradations are required for implementing this or
    can we use this ECC 6.0 as backend and EP 6.0
    and please help required for all those things.
    Thanks
    Kumar.

    For ESS/MSS based on ECC 6.0 (ERP 2005), you can download the XSS business packages from     
    service.sap.com/download --> Support patches and packages --> Entry By application Group --> SAP Application Components --> SAP ERP -->      
    SAP ERP 2005 --> Entry By Component --> SAP XSS --> (SAP ESS 600, SAP MSS 600 and SAP PCUI_GP 600).     
    You can use JSPM to apply these business packages on to the portal. To use JSPM, you have to login to the portal server using <SID>adm to be able to use the JSPM tool.     
    Business Packages and components in it: you BP consists of the 2 following parts
    1) BP_ERP5ESS / BP_ERP5MSS is Portal Business package which consist of iview, pages and roles.. while SAP_ESS / SAP_MSS. is WebDynpro part of it.           
    These iviews will direct to some WD application which are part of SAP_ESS / SAP_MSS. and they are deployed on server.          
    2) you have to simple go to          
    service.sap.com/downloadSupport patches and packagesEntry By application GroupSAP Application ComponentsSAP ERPSAP ERP 2004/2005--Entry By ComponentSAP XSS          
    pick the correct version and download. You get full package not incremental. Old ones will be overwritten when you deploy them. try to download them again if it failed first time.          
    3) Refer note 761266 for package compatibility.

    How do i find my newest itunes tv downloads, in my video app.  In the OS7 all my purchases are there so i can find which onw is the new ones that i have not watch

    Well blow me down & keelhaul me! I've solved my own problem. The issue appears to be that Apple won't sync Smart Groups from Address Book to the iPhone. I created a test group with a few dud contacts in Address Book; iTunes sync'ed then OK & as soon as I went into Contacts on iPhone, there suddenly was the Groups button appearing with 2 Groups - my Test Group + all Other contacts. Nice one apple - another undocumented feature! Looks like I have to do away with the Smart Groups feature & convert them all to normal Groups in Address book - bugga!
