AT&T changing terms for profit

I received my last bill from AT&T. In bold print on the first page was this notice:
"An eligible data plan is required for Smartphones (including iPhone, Blackberry, and PDA devices) per AT&T's Wireless Rate Plan Terms and Wireless data Service Terms and Conditions at: www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/plan-terms.jsp
If you are using a Smartphone without an eligible data plan, AT&T reserves the right to add an eligible data plan to your account and bill you the appropriate monthly fee."
When I went through all the trouble of getting this BlackBerry as my last upgrade, there was no mention of this policy. If you look into this document, it shows a date after July 31st, 2009, you will also be billed a lot more for intermittent use of their services, such as texting, etc.. I hope someone with some legal connections can get a class action suit against AT&T for their deception! If so, please include me.
Solved!

Yes, I have heard of this coming, that ATT would be requiring a Data Plan for thier Smartphone (including BlackBerrys) subscriptions.
It is their company... they have a right to require what they wish, and modify the terms of use as they see fit.
Just FYI: it is nothing new among carriers, Verizon and Sprint have required it for years. Tmobile, does not, at this point.
And, what I am not clear about is whether they will require this if you bring your own device "off contract" to use on the ATT network. For instance, if you buy a BlackBerry with a two-year contract, you will certainly be forced on a Data Plan. If you bring your own device, will they? Verizon and Sprint currently do so.

Unable to change payment terms for BP

Forum,
I have a system where on the business partner master if we change the payment terms for a business partner the price list is also changing which we do not want it too. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
An example is:- The business partner's payment terms = 30 days with a price list called 'Distributor'
After changing the payment terms it changed the price list 'End User'
And if we change the payment terms back to 30 days it changed the price list again but to another called 'GN Purchase Price GBP'
I look forward to receiving your advise.
Regards,
Juan

Noticed afterwards that there is a Price List option within the payment terms screen. This is what's causing them to change.

Profit Center Group Organization Change - Effective for Prior Periods

Hi Experts,
A client wants to perform a horizontal organization change (profit centers) and see the effects retroactively to the prior periods. To achieve this, they plan to re-execute the consolidation tasks going back two to three years once the org change is made, so that they have comparative financial statements that take into account the change. The requirement is to re-post the group level postings to the updated profit center group after the change. For example, Italy related postings would occur under the group Central Europe instead of Western Europe as before. All the group level postings previously booked to Western Europe would now need to recorded under Central Europe going back prior periods.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to meet the requirement without re-consolidating?
One option was the restatement feature but based on the SAP help description of the monitor required, it does not take into account consolidated postings, only uploaded PL00-10 data and translation.
Another option is to copy the version but then the results is in another version rather than the original 'actual' "100" version.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eyal Feiler

Eyal,
I know of no other way to accomplish this than to re-execute the consolidation for the prior periods after the hierarchy has been changed.
I have used the restatement feature and like you have found it very limited.
The copy to another version would only work if you copied the existing data to the new version before re-executing the consolidation. The the version 100 can be re-consolidated for the previous periods and the existing reports do not have to be changed for a new version.
However, with the copy, it is important to set the cons group and cons unit hierarchies to be version dependent so the changes are only good for the version that is to be re-consolidated for previous periods. This allows you to report on the data before the change where the logic will read the old, unchanged version of the hierarchy.

Cost component split transfer for Profit center valuation in ke27

Dear All,
We have activated multiple valuation/transfer prices. Material ledger is also activated.
We want to transfer cost component split to CO-PA by ke27.
We have defined separate costing keys for access to actual cost estimate for legal and profit center valuations.
But cost component split transfer to COPA works only for legal valution. Even we have defined type of valution for profit center costing key -transfer cost component split and total costs.
What should be else customized to transfer cost components splitting in profit center valuation to CO-PA from actual cost estimates?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi,
I have assigned the same value fields used for legal valuation to column 2, which was pointed in message.
But now I got following message in ke27:
For actual data, value fields that were already populated before CO-PA valuation cannot be changed in valuation.
1. As a rule, value fields that were filled before CO-PA valuation - be it from SD or by a manual entry of a line item - can only be changed by means of user exits.
(Note that for plan data, CO-PA valuation always has priority over the values planned manually.)
2. The valuation steps in a CO-PA valuation strategy are numbered sequentially. These numbers determine the order in which the steps are carried out within that strategy. As a rule, value fields populated in one step can be used as a basis for calculating values for other value fields in a subsequent step.
Value fields that were populated in a previous step are generally not overwritten by subsequent steps.
The exception to this are steps that use a CO-PA user exit. User exits let you change individual value fields.
3. If you valuate using multiple material cost estimates simultaneously, this means that the values of different cost components within the same cost estimate are aggregated and then entered in one CO-PA value field. However, value fields that already contain data from a previous cost estimate are not overwritten by a later cost estimate. Consequently, you should assign value fields in Customizing so that the values of different cost estimates are entered in different sets of value fields.
4. When condition values are transferred to CO-PA value fields, note that condition types that are assigned to the same value field are added together. This is also the case when the condition types come from different costing sheets within the valuation strategy.
So does it mean we should define separate value fields for PC valuation?
With best regards,
Kamila.

How to Create payment term for -Net Due 1st Day of Second Month Following

Hi,
We need to add a payment term for "Net Due 1st Day of Second Month Following Delivery". We need this to be in the system as soon as possible as we just were told of a change in terms for our client effective May 1st.
Kindly advice me how to select the dates in OBB8?
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
In OBB8, create a new payment term with the following settings -
Default for baseline date = No default
Payment terms/Term 1/Fixed date = 1
Payment terms/Term 1/Additional months = 2
This payment term will ask you for a baseline date on document entry. You can give the delivery date as the baseline date. If required, this date can be changed after posting the document also.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike

Payment terms for different products from a single vendor

Hi Pundits,
Our client has a requirement to assign different payment terms for different products. Each product he buys from his vendor has it's own payment terms. He wants us to customize in such a way that when he/user enters the invoice, not only the vendor number is shown along with the product name but also the payment terms for that particular product are calculated.
I know that only one payment term can be assigned in the vendor master data. Is there anyway to get around this?
Creating the same vendor multiple times and assign payment terms looks a possible option but that looks quite hectic cause he has close to 1000 payment terms.

Taurian, thank you for that suggestion!
I can maintain as many existing payment terms as the client has with his vendors and let him choose the payment terms at the time of invoice entry.
The only problem is that he might have to change it according to the current market rates for that product. So maintaining any payment term is of little use.

Payment terms for Customer Invoice with a credit line item

Hi all,
We have a business scenario where we create customer invoices on a weekly basis. The payment terms for these items are a certain payment discount if paid within 365 days. Included in these invoices are credit items which relate to refunds that are due to the customer.
Below is a scenario for Customer XXXX:
Invoice 1 Baseline date 12.01.2007
Invoice 2 Baseline date 08.02.2008
Invoice 3 Baseline date 15.02.2008
I have set up a payment run for this customer to direct debit their items. In my scenario I only want to pick up the first two invoices.
Therefore I set up the payment run to pick up those items which are due up to 09.02.2009, setting the next payment run posting date to 10.02.2009. I would expect the system to pick up only the first two invoices.
What the system does is that it pays/collects the first two invoices in total, but then selects only the credit items of invoice 3. I would expect it to ignore Invoice 3 altogether.
In another example if I had the same invoices, but invoice 3 did not have any credit items involved, then it does ignore invoice 3 as
expected.
I need to understand why for the credit items within a customer invoice are treated differently in relation to payment terms.
Thanks
Natalie

In the customer master assign a different credit memo term than the payment term.
Try changing the credit memo term for 3rd Invoice as such it do not fall in your selection criteria.

Payment terms for particular line item

Hi gurus
i have defined payment terms and assigned to customer master, when ever i am creating sales order payment terms are getting in the sales order if i want to change the payment terms for particular line item what is need to be done
please let me know asap
thanks n regards
srinvias

Hi,
There are few ways:
- You need to check in respective Item Category, the field "Business Item data" should be unchecked, this will allow you to change the Payment Terms at Item Level.
-Even if the above settings are not being done, you can have the Payment terms fetched from Condition record maintained for that item. Mind that you need to maintain the Payment terms in Condition Records of the pricing of the item.
Do reward answers with suitable points.

Lock indicator for Profit Centers

Hello,
I have a problem with the Transaction KCH5n, KE52 and KE5X. If I change the Lock indicator for Profit Centers in the Transaktion KCH5n I can not see the changing of that indicator within the report KE5X. The lock indicator is still as it was before that changing. Furthermore, I have the same result in table CEPC - no changing.
However, if I make the changing in Trx KE52 I can see it in all Trx's and tables.
Does somebody has had that problem before as well and know a solution
Thx in advance
Ruediger
Edited by: Ruediger Steinberg on Mar 27, 2008 6:28 PM
PS that happened on 4.6c

Have you activated it after you locked it? First it goes to inactive status. In KCH5N once you have set the indicator, the activation status goes red. Select that profit center and then click on activate icon. A dialog box appears with the check box enabled for that changed profit center. Click on green tick icon to activate.

Reporting - restricted for profit center-wise

Hi
My client has two profit centers (1000 and 2000) in one company code. Both profit centers are totally independent. Now my client requirement is that when user of profit center 1000 runs AR01 (i.e. asset balances), he should be able to see assets only for his profit centers i.e. 1000. Asset of profit center 2000 should not appear in that report.
In EHP 4, there is provision for Profit Center-wise document posting, change and display functionality. But i want to know if this profit center-wise authorization will work for asset balances report (AR01) and other assets reports also.
Please help.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Jan 1, 2012 5:43 PM

K_PCA or authorization object for profit center is not check in assets report.
In AR01 you cannot restrict the results to profit center as it is not checked in authorization . The fields which are checked are company code , Asset class and asset views.
Hence you will have to lookup for alternatives like selection based on plant or cost center or responsible cost center etc.
In case if the requirement is a show stopper then you will have to code the things in Enhancement points as there are no BADI or Exits available for the same .
Cheers,
Dewang

Balancing error for profit center in transaction FB08

Dear All,
We have made Vendor payments for some invoices. But for some reaseon, we have to reverse the document. When we try to do FB08, we are unable to do so and we are also getting an error ' Balancing error for Profit center.' In our case though we are on ECC6, we have not activated Document splitting.
Kindly suggest how to reverse this document and what additianal steps to be followed to overcome this error.
Thanx
Shivaji

Hi Shivaji,
Please check the field status group of the GL accounts which you are reversing and check whether the Profit center field is maintained as Mandatory or not .If its so, then please change it as to Optional and try.
In your case you are not activated the document splitting function.so that i recommend you to check the same.
So please Check the field status group of vendor payment GL accounts for reversing .Ie Bank Account GL and Vendor Recon Account GL. If the profit center field for these GL are maintianed as mandatory in the field status group ,then change it as to Optional .
Please let me know...
Regards

Need search help for Profit centre

Hi all,
I am struggling to facilitate profit centres in SRM. I am quite close to it. I have done some config changes and could get the profit centre option in web browser under cost assignment. The POs are going through in R/3.
BUT the searchhelp is not available in the web browser in the next field "Assigned to". There are different search helps available in the program LBBP_PDH_ACCF32 for different account assignment categories but not for profit centre.
Let me know if there is some search help available somewhere in SRM for profit centre.
Regards,
Ravi

Ravi,
Hi. Profit centres, like cost centres, doen't exist on SRM as an entity. What the system does for cost centres is it holds a key to which system this exists on (eg the logical system name for R3). When you search for cost centres on the account assignement screen the system runs a search help on the R3 backend.
My guess is that you would need to configure the system to act the same as with cost centres and run the search help for profit centres on teh R3 backend.
Cheers
Rob
