Best Practice for CATTS time entry to Purchase Order

Hello All -
We have a scenario where we create a purchase order to a recruiting company for a contractor.
When the contractor works on our project and books hours via CATTs, we would like the hours to post back to the purchase order like a goods receipt.
What is the best way to do this?  Service Entry Sheet or Goods Receipt?
if so, technically, what should be done?
Thanks for your help!

Well their first requierement was to get real time data .. if i am in Xcelsius and click refresh then i want it to load my last data ..
with live office , i can either schedule a crystal report and get the data delayed or use the option from live office to make iterfresh as right now .. is that a correct assumption ?
I was talking about BW, just in case they are willing to change the requierement to go from Real time to every 5 min
Just you know we are also thinking of the following option:
1 - modify the virtual provider on the  CRM machine to get all the custom fields needed for the Xcelsius Dashboard
2 - Build some interactive report on the top of these Virtual Provider within CRM
3 - get the link to this report , it is one of the Report feature within CRM
4 - design and build your dashboard on the top of it
5 - EXport your swf file to the cRM web ui
we are trying to see which one is the best one

  • Best practice for real time requierement

    All,
    I am trying to find out what is the best practice for reporting against real time data ?
    is it while using
    1 - webi against universe/bex query on the top of hybrid cubes ?
    2 - Crystal report directly against the ECC data ?
    3 - using another solution such as Data Fedrator ? or something different ?
    I am looking to know if anyone got such req and also to share their experience 
    did they get some huge challenge against hybrid cubes ?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Best-practice to redistribute NAT entries into OSPF

    I have several different subnets that are all either NAT'd or accessible via a VPN. There's no actual route on the ASA to the addresses, and they're not directly connected, eliminating the usual redistribution commands.
    What is the best-practice for redistributing such entries into an OSPF area? In the past, I've had static entries on the upstream firewall, allowing the rest of the network to see this. I'm trying to get rid of as many static routes as possible (or at least make them a floating route so as to provide backup should something in OSPF fail), but am having difficulty figuring out how to redistribute these into the OSPF area.
    I can't use a summary-address command as there's no external routes that are being redistributed. The area range command is out as I don't have a separate area that routes are being redistributed from.
    One thought I've had is to create a static null route for each subnet (allowing me to redistribute static, and have the static entries only on the originating box), but I imagine rather than NAT'ng or open the site-to-site VPN, it would discard traffic (as the destination is null).
    Any ideas on what to do when you have "imaginary" addresses that don't exist anywhere but in NAT entries or that's defined as interesting traffic for a site-to-site VPN?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the code working without use of config files. I am just disappointed that it is not working using the configuration files. That was one of the primary intents of my code re-factoring.

    Xiong , If you are proposing this as an answer then does this imply that Microsoft's stance is not to use configuration files with SSIS?? Please answer.

  • Best Practices for Service Entry Sheet Approval

    Hi All
    Just like to get some opinion on best practices for external service management - particularly approval process for Service Entry Sheet.
    We have a 2 step approval process using workflow:
    1 Entry Sheet Created (blocked)
    2. Workflow to requisition creator to verify/unblock the Entry Sheet
    3. Workflow to Cost Object owner to approve the Entry Sheet.
    For high volume users (e.g. capital projects) this is cumbersome process - we looking to streamline but still maintain control.
    What do other leaders do in this area?  To me mass release seems to lack control, but perhaps by using a good release strategy we could provide a middle ground? 
    Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    AC.

    Hi,
    You can have purchasing group (OME4) as department and link cost center to department (KS02). Use user exit for service entry sheet release and can have two characteristics for service entry sheet release, one is for value (CESSR- LWERT) and another one for department (CESSR-USRC1) .Have one release class for service entry sheet release & then add value characteristics (CESSR- LWERT) and department characteristics (CESSR-USRC1). Now you can design release strategies for service entry sheet based on department & value, so that SES will created and then will be released by users with release code based on department & value assigned to him/her.

  • Best practice for passing parameters to a Timer event handler?

    The code hinting is suggesting that I use a Timer object rather than setTimeout or setInterval, however I need to pass a parameter to the timer handler.
    What is the best practice for doing this?
    + Subclass Timer?
    + Subclass TimerEvent?
    + Global variable?
    + other?
    Thanks

    Hmm.  I don’t think I would’ve chosen that option.  I would probably create a class that listens for the TimerEvent dispatches a custom event.  Unless there is information you need in TimerEvent, I don’t see a need to extend it.

  • Best Practices for new iMac

    I posted a few days ago re failing HDD on mid-2007 iMac. Long story short, took it into Apple store, Genius worked on it for 45 mins before decreeing it in need of new HDD. After considering the expenses of adding memory, new drive, hardware and installation costs, I got a brand new iMac entry level (21.5" screen,
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, 1TB HDD running Mavericks). Also got a Superdrive. I am not needing to migrate anything from the old iMac.
    I was surprised that a physical disc for the OS was not included. So I am looking for any Best Practices for setting up this iMac, specifically in the area of backup and recovery. Do I need to make a boot DVD? Would that be in addition to making a Time Machine full backup (using external G-drive)? I have searched this community and the Help topics on Apple Support and have not found any "checklist" of recommended actions. I realize the value of everyone's time, so any feedback is very appreciated.

    OS X has not been officially issued on physical media since OS X 10.6 (arguably 10.7 was issued on some USB drives, but this was a non-standard approach for purchasing and installing it).
    To reinstall the OS, your system comes with a recovery partition that can be booted to by holding the Command-R keys immediately after hearing the boot chimes sound. This partition boots to the OS X tools window, where you can select options to restore from backup or reinstall the OS. If you choose the option to reinstall, then the OS installation files will be downloaded from Apple's servers.
    If for some reason your entire hard drive is damaged and even the recovery partition is not accessible, then your system supports the ability to use Internet Recovery, which is the same thing except instead of accessing the recovery boot drive from your hard drive, the system will download it as a disk image (again from Apple's servers) and then boot from that image.
    Both of these options will require you have broadband internet access, as you will ultimately need to download several gigabytes of installation data to proceed with the reinstallation.
    There are some options available for creating your own boot and installation DVD or external hard drive, but for most intents and purposes this is not necessary.
    The only "checklist" option I would recommend for anyone with a new Mac system, is to get a 1TB external drive (or a drive that is at least as big as your internal boot drive) and set it up as a Time Machine backup. This will ensure you have a fully restorable backup of your entire system, which you can access via the recovery partition for restoring if needed, or for migrating data to a fresh OS installation.

  • SAP Best Practice for Document Type./Item category/Acc assignment cat.

    What is the Best Practice for the document Type & Item category
    I want to use NB -  Item category  - B & K ( Blanket PO) , D ( Service)  and T( Text) .
    Is sap recommends to use FO Only for the Blanket Purchase Order.
    We want to use service contract (with / without service entry sheet) for all our services.
    We want to buy asset for our office equipments .
    Which is the best one to use NB or FO ?
    Please give me any OSS notes or reference for this
    Thanks
    Nick

    Thank you very much for your response. 
    I hope I can provide some clarity on how the accounting needs to be handle per FERC  Regulations.  The G/L balance on the utility that is selling the assets will be in the following accounts (standard accounts across all FERC Regulated Utilities):
    101 - Acquisition Value for the assets
    108 - Accumulated Depreciation Value for the assets
    For an example, there is Debit $60,000,000 in FERC Account 101 and a credit $30,000,000 in FERC Account 108.  When the purchase occurs, the net book value for the asset will be on our G/L in FERC Account 102.  Once we have FERC Approval to acquire the plant assets, we will need to enter the Acquisition Value and associated Accumulated Depreciation onto our G/L to FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 respectively with an offset to FERC Account 102.
    The method that I came up with is to purchase the NBV of the assets to a clearing account.  I then set up account assignments that will track the Acquisition Value and respective Accumulated Depreciation for each asset that is being purchased.  I load the respective asset values using t-code AS91 and then make an entry to the 2 respective accounts with the offset against the clearing account using t-code OASV.  Once my company receives FERC approval, I will transfer the asset to new assets that has the account assignments for FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 using t-code ABUMN or FB01.

  • What are best practice for packaging and deploying j2EE apps to iAS?

    We've been running a set of J2EE applications on a pair of iAS SP1b for about a year and it has been quite stable.
    Recently however we have had a number of LDAP issues, particularly when registering and unregistering applications (registering ear files sometimes fails 1st time but may work 2nd time). Also We've noticed very occasionally that old versions of classes sometimes find their way onto our machines.
    What is considered to be best practice in terms of packaging and deployment, specifically:
    1) Packaging - using the deployTool that comes with iAS6 SP1b to package is a big manual task, especially when you have 200+ jsp files. Are people out there using this or are they scripting it with a build tool such as Ant?
    2) Deploying an existing application to multiple iAS's. Are you guys unregistering old application then reregistering new application? Are you shutting down iAS whilst doing the deployment?
    3) Deploying ear files can take 5 to 10 mins, is this normal?
    4) In a clustered scenario where HTTPSession is shared what are the consequences of doing deployments to data stored in session?
    thanks in asvance for your replies
    Owen

    You may want to consider upgrading your application server environment to a newer service pack. There are numerous enhancements involving the deployment tool and run time layout of your application that make clear where you're application is loading its files from.
    If you've at a long running application server environment, with lots of deployments under your belt, you might start to notice slow downs in deployment and kjs start time. Generally this is due to garbage collecting in your iAS registry.
    You can do several things to resolve this. The most complete solution is to reinstall the application server. This will guarantee a clean ldap registry. Of course you've got to restablish your configurations and redeploy your applications. When done, backup your application server install space with the application server and directory server off. You can use this backup to return to a known configuation at some future time.
    For the second method: <B>BE CAREFUL - BACKUP FIRST</B>
    There is a more exhaustive solution that involves examining your deployed components to determine the active GUIDS. You then search the NameTrans section of the registry searching for Applogic Servlet *, and Bean * entries that represent your previously deployed components but are represented in the set of deployed GUIDs. Record these older GUIDs, remove them from ClassImp and ClassDef. Finally remove the older entries from NameTrans.
    Best practices for deployment depend on your particular environmental needs. Many people utilize ANT as a build tool. In later versions of the application server, complete ANT scripts are included that address compiling, assembly and deployment. Ant 1.4 includes iAS specific targets and general J2EE targets. There are iAS specific targets that can be utilized with the 1.3 version. Specialized build targets are not required however to deploy to iAS.
    Newer versions of the deployment tool allow you to specify that JSPs are not to be registered automatically. This can be significant if deployment times lag. Registered JSP's however benefit more fully from the services that iAS offers.
    2) In general it is better to undeploy then redeploy. However, if you know that you're not changing GUIDs, recreating an existing application with new GUIDs, or removing registered components, you may avoid the undeploy phase.
    If you shut down the KJS processes during deployment you can eliminate some addition workload on the LDAP server which really gets pounded during deployment. This is because the KJS processes detect changes and do registry loads to repopulate their caches. This can happen many times during a deployment and does not provide any benefit.
    3) Deploying can be a lengthy process. There have been improvements in that performance from service pack to service pack but unfortunately you wont see dramatic drops in deployment times.
    One thing you can do to reduce deployment times is to understand the type of deployment. If you have not manipulated your deployment descriptors in any way, then there is no need to deploy. Simply drop your newer bits in to the run time space of the application server. In later service packs this means exploding the package (ear,war, or jar) in to the appropriate subdirectory of the APPS directory.
    4) If you've changed the classes of objects that have been placed in HTTPSession, you may find that you can no longer utilize those objects. For that reason, it is suggested that objects placed in session be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize this effect. In general however, is not a good idea to change a web application during the life span of a session.

  • Best practice for "Quantity" field in Asset Master

    Hi
    I want to know what is the best practice for "Quantity field" in asset master. It should be made displayed only or required field in Asset Master creation.
    Initially I made this field as required entry. So user entered 1 quantity. At the time of posting F-90, he again entered quantity. So my quantity in asset master got increased. Hence i decided to make that field display only in asset master creation.
    Now i made that field as display only in asset master creation. At the time of posting F-90, that quantity field is not coming only. I check my field status group for posting key as well as GL account. Its optional field. Inspite of that user is able to make entry in F-90. Now quantity field is '0' only in asset master even though there is some value in asset.
    Please help what is the best practice wrt quantity field. Should be open in asset master or it should be display only.

    Hi:
               SAP Standard does not recommend you to update quantity field in asset master data.  Just leave the Qty Field Blank , just mention the Unit of Measure as EA. While you post acquisition through F-90 or MIGO this field will get updated in Asset master data automatically. Hope this will help you.

  • Help Please!!  Best Practices for building an NDS Project...

    We are doing a Proof of Concept on using NDS to develop non-SAP Java applications. We are attempting to determine if we can replace our current Java development tools with NDS/WAS.
    We are struggling with SAP's terminology and "plumbing" for setting up/defining Java projects. For example, what is and when do you define Tracks, Software Components, Development Components, etc. All of these terms are totally foreign to us and do not relate to our current Java environment (at least not that we can see). We are also struggling with how the DTR and activities tie in to those components.
    If any one has defined best practices for setting up Java projects or has struggled with and overcome these same issues, please provide us with some guidance. This is a very frustrating and time-consuming issue for us.
    Thank you!!

    Hello Peggy,
    this is my first post but I hope it helps you anyway.
    To learn the SAP "language" I additionally used the a SAP Presentation regarding the SAP JDI.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/java development infrastructure real world use webinar.pdf
    I think this one is quite useful as an addon to the other links for information you already got. Your name also indicates that your mother-tongue language is German. If so, the german version of the book (Java-Programming with the SAP WAS) is already available for purchase and really useful. Then, you can also use the information provided by the University of Potsdam. They have an introduction about how to setup a track in the SLD and then how to setup SCs.

  • Best Practices for NCS/PI Server and Application Monitoring question

    Hello,
    I am deploying a virtual instance of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.1.012) on an ESX infrastructure. This is being deployed in an enterprise enviroment. I have questions around the best practices for moniotring this appliance. I am looking to monitor application failures (services down, db issues) and "hardware" (I understand this is a virtual machine, but statistics on the filesystem and CPU/Memory is good).
    Firstly, I have enabled via the CLI the snmp-server and set the SNMP trap host destination. I have created a notification receiver for the SNMP traps inside the NCS GUI and enabled the "System" type alarm. This type includes alarms like NCS_DOWN and PI database is down. I am trying to understand what the difference between enabling SNMP-SERVER HOST via the CLI and setting the Notification destination inthe GUI is? Also how can I generate a NCS_DOWN alarm in my lab. Doing NCS stop does not generate any alarms. I have not been able to find much information on how to generate this as a test.
    Secondly, how and which processes should I be monitoring from the Management Station? I cannot easily identify the main NCS procsses from the output of ps -ef when logged in the shell as root.
    Thanks guys!

    1.) What is the cost of having the scope in a <jsp:useBean> tag set to 'session'? I am aware that there are a list of scopes like page, application, etc. and that if i use 'session' my variable will live for as long as that session is alive. (did i get this right?). You should rather look to the functional requirements instead of costs. If the bean need to be session scoped (e.g. maintain the logged in user), then do it so. If it just need to be request scoped (e.g. single page form data), then keep it request scoped.
    2.)If the JSP Page where i use that <useBean> is to be accessed hundred of times a day, will it compensate my server resources? Right now i am using the Sun Glassfish Server.It will certainly eat resources. Just supply enough CPU speed and memory to a server. You cannot expect that a webserver running at a Pentium 500MHz with 256MB of memory can flawlessly serve 100 simultaneous users at the same second. But you may expect that it can serve 100 users per 24 hour.
    3.) Can you suggest best practice in memory management given the architecture i described above?Just write code so that it doesn't unnecessarily eat memory. Only allocate memory if your application need to do so. You should rather let the hardware depend on the application requirements, not to let the application depend on the hardware specs.
    4.)Also, I have implemented connection pooling in my architecture, but my application is to be used by thousands of clients everyday.. Can the Sun Glassfish Server take care of that or will I have to purchase a powerful sever?Glassfish is just an application server software, it is not server hardware. Your concerns are rather hardware related.

    In this case, I recommend proposing that the department managers create GRC Access Requests.  In order for the managers to comprehend the new process, you should create a separate "Role Catalog" that describes what abilities each role enables.  This Role Catalog needs to be taught to the department Managers, and they need to fully understand what tcodes and abilities are inside of each role.  From your workflow design, it looks like Role Owners should be brought into these workshops.
    You might consider a Role Catalog that the manager could filter on and make selections from.  For example, an AP manager could select "Accounts Payable" roles, and then choose from a smaller list of AP-related roles.  You could map business functions or tasks to specific technical roles.  The design flaw here, of course, is the way your technical roles have been designed.
    The point being, GRC AC 10 is not business-user friendly, so using an intuitive "Role Catalog" really helps the managers understand which technical roles they should be selecting in GRC ARs.  They can use this catalog to spit out a list of technical role names that they can then search for within the GRC Access Request.
    At all costs, avoid having end-users create ARs.  They usually select the wrong access, and the process then becomes very long and drawn out because the role owners or security stages need to mix and match the access after the fact.  You should choose a Requestor who has the highest chance of requesting the correct access.  This is usually the user's Manager, but you need to propose this solution in a way that won't scare off the manager - at the end of the day, they do NOT want to take on more work.
    If you are using SAP HR, then you can attempt HR Triggers for New User Access Requests, which automatically fill out and submit the GRC AR upon a specific HR action (New Hire, or Termination).  I do not recommend going down this path, however.  It is very confusing, time consuming, and difficult to integrate properly.
    Good luck!

  • Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

    Greetings:
    I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs.  If there is a specific article please point me to it.
    Here is my situation: 
    We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer.  I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret.  As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video.  I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
    So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads).  Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
    My questions:
    With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids?  Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing? 
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Bonesaw1962,
    We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
    If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
    I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
    Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

  • Best practice for integrating a 3 point metro-e in to our network.

    Hello,
    We have just started to integrate a new 3 point metro-e wan connection to our main school office. We are moving from point to point T-1?s to 10 MB metro-e. At the main office we have a 50 MB going out to 3 other sites at 10 MB each. For two of the remote sites we have purchase new routers ? which should be straight up configurations. We are having an issue connecting the main office with the 3rd site.
    At the main office we have a Catalyst 4006 and at the 3rd site we are trying to connect to a catalyst 4503.
    I have attached configurations from both the main office and 3rd remote site as well as a basic diagram of how everything physically connects. These configurations are not working ? we feel that it is a gateway type problem ? but have reached no great solutions. We have tried posting to a different forum ? but so far unable to find the a solution that helps.
    The problem I am having is on the remote side. I can reach the remote catalyst from the main site, but I cannot reach the devices on the other side of the remote catalyst however the remote catalyst can see devices on it's side as well as devices at the main site.
    We have also tried trunking the ports on both sides and using encapsulation dot10q ? but when we do this the 3rd site is able to pick up a DHCP address from the main office ? and we do not feel that is correct. But it works ? is this not causing a large broad cast domain?
    If you have any questions or need further configuration data please let me know.
    The previous connection was a T1 connection through a 2620 but this is not compatible with metro-e so we are trying to connect directly through the catalysts.
    The other two connection points will be connecting through cisco routers that are compatible with metro-e so i don't think I'll have problems with those sites.
    Any and all help is greatly welcome ? as this is our 1st metro e project and want to make sure we are following best practices for this type of integration.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Jeff

    Jeff, form your config it seems you main site and remote site are not adjacent in eigrp.
    Try adding a network statement for the 171.0 link and form a neighbourship between main and remote site for the L3 routing to work.
    Upon this you should be able to reach the remote site hosts.
    HTH-Cheers,
