Anand,
Your question is not clear for me to provide an answer. Basically, the shared entities like item, SOB etc provides the integration of various models and Security, Validation Rules provide the security for the data.
Make your question clear, I will try to answer.

Invoice Matching - Best Business Practice

As far as I know matching invoices to PO or to a receipt is done in AP. A colleague of mine is stating that matching should always be done at the purchasing level and that she has never seen it done in Payables. Other than the user's guide, would anyone know of a white paper that addresses the matching business flow.
We are not usinf Oracle Purchasing, but rather a third party solution (ePlus), and for whatever reason, the matching is going to be done in that solution. Invoices will also be created in that system, and interfaced to AP in order to issue checks.
Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
It depends on the kind of External Software you are using and the purpose of the same.
You cannot Import PO to Payable to perform Matching in Payables unless PO is created in Oracle purchasing. Secondly performing a match between two system, Oracle Payables(Invoice) and PO in (ePlus) is very difficult. Also it depends on the type of item they are using in ePLUS. If it is service oriented Organization, then they would have created only service items which might have Performance Guarantee etc., which can be better reviewed and analysed by an Engineer who is incharge of the PO rather than Accountant performing the PO to Invoice Match
So it is better to identify and analyse the client Business and choose where to perform the PO to Invoice matching.
The choices are as follows
If it is inventory based matching then, Convince the client to use Oracle PO and Inventory Module and make the set up and import data from ePlus to these modules and create Invoice in AP and perform PO to Invoice Matching in Oracle.
If it is service oriented Item it is better to create Invoice in Eplus Itself and perform matching in Eplus and Push the Invoice and PO reference details to Oracle Payables to make payments
Hope this helps

Poor business practices and customer services

Best Buy, that's a LIE! Shoppers beware! I purchased a Sony theatre system from Best Buy, store #251 at 8290 W. Bell Rd, Glendale, Arizona, which was on sale for $249 ($10 less expensive than Walmart), 12-days prior to my wife's birthday. I gave it to her on her birthday and attempted to return it within the 14-days of actually giving it to her, but past the 14 days from original purchase. I brought the item back to the same store and Best Buy told me they won't accept the return and for me to just keep it, they will not accept a return. It was in perfect working condition, but for some reason they said even if it wasn't working I had to give it to their 'Geek Squad' to repair it. Even If it wasn't working I would've wanted a new replacement under 1-year warranty. This was something very strange I never heard of before from any retailer. It was working fine, so this wasn't an issue, but I was puzzled to hear them say something about their replacement policy. Wow, watch out when you buy a product, you never know if it's new, used or repaired! I also contacted customers service by telephone on several occassions and they regurgitated their written policy of no returns past 14-days. I explained that I am a totally disabled veteran with limited income, plus my wife has been battling cancer that spread to her lungs and that she has been undergoing chemotherapy, plus she was hospitalized three days the week prior and two days the next week and several additional times since, due to the chemo treatments. I explained to them I believe they should be flexible and compassionate, use good will and good faith to accept our return because of these circumstances beyond our control. I asked them, what is someone to do when they purchase an item, that's on sale, in advance of someone's birthday, Christmas, anniversary, wedding, etc., and it's past the 14-day return policy and they try to return it. I received no answer. After requesting to speak with a supervisor and explaining all this information and requesting they allow us to return the item, Best Buy stopped all communication with us! We haven't heard a word from them and we are now left with the Sony system we cannot use. They show total disregard for both my wife's and me and totally lack of customer service and appreciation in the entire matter. They seem to be only concerned with the bottom line, greed and Money! I'm totally disgusted with their policies and business practices. They don't care about the customer, only the bottom line, lining their pockets with our hard earned money! I may have saved $10 at Best Buys price of $249 versus Walmarts price of $259, but it cost us $270 for a product that is useless to us, just becuse they will not allow us to return the item. cheaper doesn't mean BEST BUY! I never had a problems returning any items to Walmart!!!

Hello Ken1,
I was very disheartened to read of your wife's condition and I my best wishes go out to her. I also wish to thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country. I was further dismayed to read that your intended gift of the home theater system didn't meet your needs and that you weren't able to return it as expected. Certainly causing you aggravation was never our goal.
As published on your original receipt, our website, and posted in your local Best Buy store, our Return & Exchange Promise allows for a return or exchange of a product within 15 days of purchase (30 days for My Best Buy Elite members and 45 days for Elite Plus members). Outside of this time frame, we are unable to offer a return or exchange.
I'm grateful that you took the time to write to us and for your feed back on our Return & Exchange Promise.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Price Adjustment on Order Denied / Unfair Business Practice

I was just notified that I was denied a price adjustment on my order for the Ecobee3 Wireless Thermostat. I had purchased it for 206.99 and a few hours later the price went down to 179.99 which is $27 lower than the price I had bought it for. I was told that the reason for the denial in the price adjustment was because I used a 10% off mover's coupon on my initial order.
If the item was delivered in time, I could have returned the item and re-purchased it with my wife's 10% mover's coupon. It makes no sense that I would have to go through the hassle of doing this instead of having a price adjustment.
Now I see the item is out of stock at my local store and online and I can't even do the return and re-purchase at $157 ($180 less $18 coupon less $5 reward card) due the price not showing in the local BestBuy system.
This definitely seems like a shady business practice. All other major online retailers (Target, Staples, Amazon) would have adjusted the base price of my order and I would have been credited the $24 without a hassle.
Please tell me how I can escalate this issue as I feel mistreated as a loyal BestBuy customer. My order number is {removed per forum guidelines}.

Hello LightC,
Best Buy's Price Match Guarantee and movers coupon are great ways to ensure that you get the best price on products that you'll need to settle in your new dwelling. You ask a great question!
As poprex911 mentioned, the two offers cannot be combined as coupons may not be used with a price match. Per our Price Match Guarantee:
Our Price Match Guarantee does not cover: Any financing offers, bundle offers, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers...
I regret that I do not have better news for you, but I hope this helps. Thank you for writing to us.
Sincerely,

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

Hi,
Lets first start from your Select Statement.....Replace your SELECT ....ENDSELECT by SELECT Into Internal Table
Your program is having a SELECT...ENDSELECT within LOOP...ENDLOOP........One should avoid doing this as far as possible.

       and mseg~sobkz = i_list-sobkz
       and mseg~werks = i_list-werks
       and mkpf~budat in budat.
Restructure youe complete code with this approach and Share your Finding's.
You can also think of using a SAP Standard FM.
Anyway..What is the objective/Output of this report?

What's the Best Business-Card Scanner for Leopard?

Hello, All:
What's the best business-card scanner for the Mac, using Leopard? Anyone currently using one or know of one? Or two?
Thank you,

I use the IRIS card scan which works but is a long shot worse than the Cardscan which i used to have on a pc back in 2000.... there is currently no really good solution for business card scanning on the mac that i have seen.

Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application

So another in my long line of questions in trying to change the implementation of the help systems at my new employer.
So, the pressure is to convince the existing guard to toss out the old method and go with a new method... One of the issues has come up for CSH Webhelp (via RH10)...
Apparently, in the old method (where every help topic was it's own CHM - no, I'm not kidding). They kept it that way so that any time a help file was updated, they could just send out that one chm to update that one topic.
Now they are worried that if we switch to webhelp using topics in one single big project that we can't just send out a single updated file any more...
So I'm trying to get ammunition as to how updates to the help can be distributed without it being a big hassle...
We do have small updates that go out about every week, and they are afraid that going to the webhelp (1 project with lots of topics) method will require more time and effort for the techs because they will have to complete the update of a huge help system every time.
One solution we have suggested is that we only update help files on major releases and add any changes to help procedures in the Release Notes or in a separate PDF and also include a note that the help files "will be updated to reflect this change in the XX/2015 XYZ Release).
Does ANYONE have any other ideas of how distribution could be done efficiently so that we don't have to continue this "project per topic" fiasco?
HELP!!! PLEASE!!!!

Amebr - you hit the nail on the head... i want to apologize to everyone for all this mass hysteria...but this has been a freaking rollercoaster... one day they are happy with the plan, the next day they decided they want to complicate it more... So now my job is to find out how viable and how tricky and perhaps how dangerous it will be to send out JUST the files that have been changed. Especially for CSH!
Anyone have any experience with this or have any advice? Peter? I suspect you might know how this might work... are they any pitfalls to watch out for.. I just have this fear of sending out a few files from an entire project... Altho, it appears when I publish, ONLY the files that have been edited in some way show a new date.. that includes non-topic files - so i'm assuming sending all those will keep the TOC, Index, and Search features working properly... as well as incoming and outgoing links from an edited topic?
Another question would be how to handle new images in a project... as the image folder tends to be the largest, i don't want to have to send the entire image folder... Thoughts...???? Advice? Jeff? Peter? Amebr? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller....?
THANKS!Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application
OH... and Jeff... my apologies for the misnomer of using the term "Fat-ish" client in reference to this... I totally misspoke and should have said Mobile App... but in my mind, any time you have to download something to use it, it's a fat client... sorry! :-/

Could you elaborate; are you looking for how to distribute the tiers(forms, web, conc., etc.); are you asking about PCP (parallelt concurrent processing)..

What is the generally accepted Business Practice in developing Data Flow Edit Tasks in SSIS

We have lots of data edits that we need to create for some 3rd party data that is coming into us. Is the generally accepted business practice to perform these data edits against our database in one Stored Procedure or multiple Data Flow Tasks?
Kind of new to SSIS and just don't know what the most efficient means is to perform these edits and whether to create multiple Data Flow Tasks to perform these edits against our SQL Server Database or perform these edits in one whole SQL Server Stored Procedure.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Like I have to perform some drill down edits on my 3rd party data against our SQL Server Database
Does the First Name and Last name Match?
Does the Zipcode Match?
Does the Birth Date Match?
Things of that nature. My feeling is to put it into a Stored Procedure. That way if we need to flex the matching criteria down the pike here, it's all in one place...rather than in a Stored Procedure and a Data Flow Task somewhere. Just seems to be more
logical and organized to keep it all in one place and then call the Eedit Stored Procedure from SSIS.

Verizon wireless shady business practices

TIERED DATA AS A CHOICE FOR NETWORK OPTIMIZATION-what a jokethe only thing that optimizes is their bank account.very flawed theory,if every one is connected trying youse their monthly dats allotments the way the network is currently designed performance decreases as more and more users connect until the network is useles as itcis in some of the bigger cities where they are scurrying to activate AWS to eleviate the stress on on the 700mhz frequency currently being used.
Solution:
Tiered speeds like a normal isp uses.there is only so much spectrum available.create speed tiers so nobody's device is conflicting with anyone else's.
Hypothetical situation as I don't know the real numbers but network engineers do and could convert to working numbers:
Tower capability:60mbps down/20mbps up unsaturated saturation begins at 1000 connections.once saturation begins performance decreases.
To prevent saturation the following speed tiers could be created and data caps comparable to dsl/cable:
Dedicated internet devices(tablet,usb modem,mifi,etc)
20mbps down/5mbps up $120/month
10mbps down/2mbps up $60/month
5mbps down/1mbps up $30/month
150gb cap with coverages billed at $10/20gb
Smartphones-i spent a fair amount of time at a friend's house and there was virtually nothin that I couldn't do on his 6mbps dsl connection so in my opinion here are smartphone pricing options:
Bring back the nation wide plans same pricing as it was fair(except for add a line pricing below),not every one needs unlimited talk/text
Data pricing would be the same with each additional line added at 50% with the highest speed choice at full price.data usage is shared between all users and usage cap is increased by 20% per line on family plan
Nation wide talk n text 700 minutes unlimited messaging-$80/month
Smartphone 1-20mbps choice-$120(150gb of usage)
Line 2-10mbps choice-$30(increases usage to 180gb)
Line 3-5mbps choice-$15(increases usage to 210gb)
Line 4-20mbps choice-$60(increases usage to 240gb)
Up to 10 lines
This is just an example of what could have been.if tiered speeds have worked all these years for land isp services why won't they for mobile isp services.the cellular network recognizes our devices buy the mobile number and can be programmed to restrict speeds accordingly.this is the fairest solution for both sides

That is because the people editing the comments don't necessarily know anything about Verizon services, plans or business practices. They are simply forum moderators, not CS reps. Not everyone is capable, proficient or qualified in performing all tasks, or even allowed to do so.
For example, when you go to the emergency room at your local hospital and someone is emptying the garbage while you are waiting to be seen, you could just as easily say "nice of them to have time to empty the garbage but don't have time to see me" when in fact the person emptying the garbage does not have a job which includes "seeing" patients. You most likely would not even like the outcome if THAT person was the one to diagnose your condition.
