BP consolidating feature

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the Consolidating BP feature with Delivery Consolidation option enabled.
Unfortunately, it seems that it doesn't work for goods receipts posted before the activation of that fucntion.
Is that correct? Does a workaround exist?
Thanks
Fabio Tombesi

Hi Gordon,
and thanks for your feedback.
In this case the reverse method isn't applicable. We have a quite complex organization and I cannot reverse a goods receipt just because the invoice has been issued by the parent company.
I'm wondering if SAP can modified this feature. It would be really very useful.
Regards
Fabio

Payment Consolidation Feature

Hello --
We have several accounts where we use the Payment Consolidation feature in the Accounting Tab. We would like to be able to see the total sales generated by these accounts (i.e., the sum of all the individual accounts that are consolidated with this main account). What is the easiest way to see this? Thanks.
Mike

Mike,
Use the Sales Analysis Report for this. When you open SA Report, the BP Properties are available as a selection to filter results.
Using this you should be able to get what you are looking for.
Simple query to find all consolidated BP.
SELECT DISTINCT T1.CardCode, T1.CardNAme
FROM [dbo].[OCRD] T0 INNER JOIN [dbo].[OCRD] T1
ON T1.CardCode = T0.FatherCard
WHERE T0.CardType = 'C' AND T0.FatherCard IS NOT NULL
From the result, click the Yellow link arrow to go the BP and Mark the Properties

Library Consolidation help

Hi all.
So, I'm a little confused about the 'Consolidation' feature for iTunes. I'm not sure exactly what it does from reading the forum posts.
Here's my situation:
I'm quickly running out of space on my computer, so I have been shifting around my music to different hard drives to free up space both for more iTunes downloads and for my C drive on my comp to not be full.
I understand how the 'iTunes Music Folder Location' function works in the Advanced tab, and I have since changed that to my D drive, which has more space.
I have manually moved my entire iTunes folder (including Album Artwork, Music, Applications, Libraries, etc) onto the D drive and I was planning on deleting the copies on the C drive so I can free up that space.
My question is: what exactly does Consolidate Library do? Do I still need to Consolidate if I've already manually moved the files? Will Consolidating be an easy one-step method to have iTunes look for those files in the D drive instead of the C drive (without manually 'searching' for each file as I try to play them? And, does Consolidating also make iTunes read the ITL file from the new location as well?
I know those are a lot of questions, and I appreciate any feedback I can get.
Thanks in advance.

I have manually moved my entire iTunes folder (including Album Artwork, Music, Applications, Libraries, etc) onto the D drive and I was planning on deleting the copies on the C drive so I can free up that space.
Press and hold SHift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library.itl_ file in the iTunes folder on the external.
That is all you need to do.
Yes, you can delete the iTunes folder in \My Documents\My Music\.
what exactly does Consolidate Library do?
It copies everything in iTunes to the iTunes music folder location shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
Do I still need to Consolidate if I've already manually moved the files?
Not if you move the entire iTunes folder.
You consolidate before you move the iTunes folder.
If you wantot move th eiTUne smusic folder, point iTunes prefs to a new location/drive, then use Consolidate. If you move the iTunes music folder (or if you move/rename ant music files) yourself, iTunes will lose everything.
Will Consolidating be an easy one-step method to have iTunes look for those files in the D drive instead of the C drive (without manually 'searching' for each file as I try to play them?
No.
And, does Consolidating also make iTunes read the ITL file from the new location as well?
No.

How best to move user folder to a Mac Mini + external drive

I am streamlining my desktop computer setup. Whereas before I was using a PowerMac G5 as my primary desktop computer, I realize I am using my MacBook Pro more often, so in the interests of conserving space, I will be switching over to a Mac Mini connected to my AV system for hosting all my iTunes music, videos, media, photos, etc.
Here is where I need advice. My PowerMac has a lot more media on it than can fit on the internal hard drive of a Mac Mini. I have already secured a 1 TB external drive which will be permanently connected to the Mac Mini, but I am unsure as to how to best go about copying my data to it.
My initial thought was that I could move the iTunes music folder to the external drive using the library consolidation feature, and I could copy my iPhoto library to it, then point the respective applications to the new location. However, I want the external to act as my home folder where the OS looks for all my personal data, including movies, documents, etc.
I know there is a procedure for changing your home folder's location to an external drive, but because of the limited size of the Mac Mini's internal HD, I would like to use migration assistant when I first start using the Mac Mini. Should I hold off on moving the home folder until after I have migrated, or can it be done beforehand?
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for the procedure. It seems very easy, but I am wondering about the consequences depending on when I do it. For example, let's say I first copy my entire home folder to the 1 TB external drive, set up the PowerMac to use it as my home folder, then use migration assistant to import my user accounts, applications, and settings onto the Mac Mini. Will it try to extract the data from the external drive onto the Mac Mini's internal drive? There won't be enough room for everything.
As an alternative, I can move my iTunes library and iPhoto library onto the 1 TB external first, keeping the rest of my user data in its original location. Then it can fit on the Mac Mini, and I can do the migration, then move the home folder to the 1TB external once it's all up and running on the new computer.
Which will work best?
I had heard about people using a single drive as their home folder across multiple computers, but that is not the case for me. My MacBook Pro will become my primary computer, but I intend to keep it clear of media, whereas the MacMini will become my media server for my AV system in my living room. The 1 TB will be constantly connected to the Mac Mini, so there shouldnt be a problem with starting it up once the user folder location has been moved.

Trial Balance and/or FSG for different period than calendar

Hi
We have a calendar which is from Jan 08 to Dec 08. We need to have a Trial balance from April to March.
How can this be done from General ledger
Thanks
Ninad

Ninad,
The issue you are pointing out here is that your accounting year that is setup in oracle is between Jan to Dec but your desired reporting accounting year is between Apr to Mar. Meaning all the year end activity that happens in Dec ideally should happen in March. Is that correct?
One way is to mirror another set of books and have calendar setup between Apr to Mar. This is a pain to maintain two setup of books but works OK if you use consolidation feature to transfer all the balances as is. You can report trial balance or FSGs off of that SOB.
Or if you know what happens in year end closing in your system (apart from standard oracle processes for retained earnings account among others), you can change the reports to show that balances in the month of Mar or Apr rather than in Jan.
Thanks

Music Management & iTunes??? Help Please!

I have several issues that I'm hoping someone can give me some helpful hints for. I looked through about 23 pages of forum posts, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I have music stored all over my computer. It's in various directories & folders, rather randomly slung all over my HD. Some of it was due to a computer upgrade a couple years ago that I never bothered to clean-up properly after the move. The rest is due to just poor import/copy management.
Short of doing a labor intensive manual clean-up (i.e. creating a new master folder, copying everything into it and deleting any unwanted or duplicates) ... can iTunes still do a system search and copy it all in to one main folder? There used to be a "search system" feature, but I've yet to find it in 7.5.0. I tried using the library consolidation feature, but that accomplished exactly nothing. IIRC from another post, it was supposed to ask me where/what I wanted to consolidate. No such luck. Just a button to push that said "consolidate". That I can see, no real change was made.
My other question is ... if I do do a manual clean-up is there a method for doing a fresh re-creation of my library while keeping my playlists and podcasts intact?
I really really need a music management overhaul, but don't particularly want to spend a week doing it.
Thanks~
Kat

+I did try the add a folder command ... that picked up a few, but not all.+
That could mean a couple of things. There is a known problem with Add Folder where it will sometimes fail to complete on large adds. If that is what's happening, do it in smaller batches by adding subfolders. The other thing that could be happening is incompatible files. Try to add a missing file individually using File > Add File to Library. If it does not add, there is an issue with the file.
+So that brings me to my next question. Once I get together a master folder with all my wanted songs in one place ... what is going to be the best way to rebuild my library while keeping my playlists intact?+
Once the files are in your iTunes library, do not manually move or rename anything. Use the Consolidate command. It retains play counts, playlist membership, etc.
By the way, if you haven't backed up your hard drive lately, now would be a good time to do so.

I.m trying to recover my playlists

I.m trying to recover my play lists accidentally deleted but when I click on recover play lists it's telling me that I haven't deleted any..HELP..

Firstly, do you have all of the appropriate music files? Is the content of your ipod the same as was in your previous library?
Personally I don't trust the consolidation feature. I prefer to drag my music straight into iTunes (open iTunes and drag and drop it over the music library). Here you have two options
1) get iTunes to copy files into your iTunes music folder when you add them to the library
2) If you've placed them into the appropriate folder and just want to link the files to your iTunes library go to preferences - general - deselect "Copy to iTunes folder when adding to library". Then drag and drop.
I have yet to come across any software that will recover playlists
This is a very useful site for finding suitable applications regarding retrieval of files from your ipod.
http://www.macdownloads.com/
Finally, does your PC library file still exist? Do you have a backup? because although this won't contain the music files it will still contain your playlists - I have successfully transfered an iTunes Mac library file to iTunes on a P C. It might work the other way round! (By exporting the library from the PC and importing it to the Mac) This way you keep your playlists but will need to delete the unlinked files and then add the music files as previously mentioned. If the worst comes to the worst you can open the file on you PC and use it to help recreate the old playlists on your new library.

Final Cut Library Won't Load!

My Final Cut Library, based on an external drive, won't load. It gets stuck loading certain events.
It all began earlier when my Library WOULD open, but it would take 10-15 minutes to do so. I finally realized it was because it was attempting to access thousands of PNG files on an external drive that caused the hangup. Noticing that the local machine drive handled these files much better than my external drive, I moved the folder of media to my local drive with the goal of reconnecting the media files.
Then, when I opened up my Library in Final Cut (after taking 15 minutes to do so), the event with the trouble files contained NO CLIPS within it whatsoever (in fact, the star Event Logo wasn't present next to the name of the event). The clips were still in the sequence that I had cut in, but they would not open in the media browser at all.
Now, trying the main Library again OR the local backup (from the Movies folder), the app gets stuck once it opens. I can't click anything within it.
I'm stuck, don't know what to do, am on a deadline, and would sure love some help. Thank you to any kind and knowledgeble souls out there!

All the files were being linked to the folder on the same external drive at the library is on. I.e., I "left the files in place." I figured if I just renamed that external folder, the files would register as off-line in the event, and I could relink the event to the copy of the files on my internal drive. Granted, I did not know you could use the consolidated feature in Final Cut Pro to relocate original files. I did it by hand in the Finder. The weirdest part of all, is that the event still remains in the library within Final Cut, but it's only text with no event logo next to it, and if I selected, all the original clips that were in that event have vanished, meaning I can't select and relink them.
Unless I can try what you're saying of inserting the files directly into the event folder within the library package, I'm having to create a new event and import the new files from the internal drive clean. It requires me to redo all my edit with the graphic files, but it seems I don't have much other choice. Even if I were to replace the graphic files back into the original event folder, they would still be running off of the external Drive, which caused the problem in the first place. So far, accessing the graphic files off the internal drive has gone lightning fast.

BCS 604 SP6 - Change to Consolidation Group extra features

Hi All,
We've upgraded from SP0 to SP6 and noticed some new options for CCG config:
IN UCWB we have rthe following new options:
1. under Consolidation area --> Settings --> Consolidation Functions used, we have:
(checkbox) Separation of Goodwill from Investment (ERP 2005)
2. Under Changes to Consolidation group we had:
- Selected Items
- Task
- Document Type
- System Utilization - NEW
> (checkbox) Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
Help on "1" reveals:
If you select this checkbox, you enable the separation of goodwill from the investment relationship.
Use
If the Separation of Goodwill from Investment function is active, you can manually enter a goodwill entry on a separate consolidation unit for the Reclassification of Treasury Stock activity. The system does not post a minority interest to effects from valuation allowance or currency translation. The system suppresses the posting of minority interests on the assumption that no investment and equity data exist for a separate consolidation unit for which you have entered a manual goodwill entry. (However, the system does not check whether investment and equity data on the separate consolidation unit really do not exist.)
Help on "2":
Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
If you select this checkbox, you enable the system to post the other comprehensive income in the Total Divestiture activity with an effect on net income.
Use
If the Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture function is active, the system posts the group value of the other comprehensive income in total divestiture to the income statement.
Dependencies
You define the items for other comprehensive income as a subset of the equity items in Equity Data Customizing on the Other Comprehensive Income tab page. You specify there for each item for other comprehensive income the relevant posting item in the income statement.
Anyone used either of these extra features,
found them useful, any problems?

I have not used the 1st "Separation of Goodwill".
The second feature is needed when Cons of Investment (COI) is not used. I actually configured Cons Grp Chgs with this and subsequently implemented COI in the same system. What happened is that this feature disappeared from Cons Grp Chgs and reappeared in COI > Settings > Appropriation of Retained Earnings.
I hope this helps.

Feature request: write consolidation

Could BDB do write-consolidation on memp_sync(), so that if several writes to the same record exist, only the newest write is actually effected? I believe this could provide a significant performance boost in certain usage situations, with no negatives.
A bit of background...
In my web-based application, the same record will tend to be written over and over with slight changes, while a single user is logged in and performs various actions.
For example, I have a record of "books on my wishlist", and users will tend to add a few books in a session, over (say) a 10 minute period of that day's use of my site.
I'm currently delaying database updating, by doing dbenv->memp_sync() every 5 minutes. This greatly increases write throughput, I've found.
However, an analysis of those delayed writes finds that about 1/2 of those writes are replacements of the same record, and thus of no use.
Could BDB improve dbenv->memp_sync() so that it discards previous writes to the same record, and only actually writes-to-disk the final data?
I believe this is a trivial patch to make to memp_sync() -- it could just write out the backlog in most-recent-first order, and then skip writes to keys that have a newer write that was already done in that memp_sync() call.
-john

Hi John,
I don't completely understand the context of your question.
The DbEnv::memp_sync call works at the level of database pages. If you overwrite a record on a page multiple times, then call memp_sync, the page containing the record will be written once (which I think is what you are asking for).
So can I ask how you analyzed the writes? Could the data have been going to the log rather than the database?
Lastly, memp_sync doesn't make any strong guarantees about durability: it just flushes whatever dirty pages it finds. If there are concurrent writes, or a crash partway through, there is no guarantee that data will be consistent on disk. In other words, if you don't need durability, there's no reason to call memp_sync, but if you do need durability you would be better off with transactions and calling DbEnv::txn_checkpoint.

ITunes Consolidation: Will it create duplicates of media files if they already exist in the new itunes destination folder but arent being referenced by the itunes library?

I have a macbook pro from fall 2010. I have been using my external HD as my primary itunes folder for the past 7 yrs ( i.e it is organized by itunes default categorization, etc). However, there is some overlap between my external HD itunes folder and my comps original itunes folder (probably 20-30% of my current library's media files were already duplicated there from when i first bought the HD and transferred files to the external, however they are mostly referenced from the external now). Also there are files in the comp's itunes folder that are not on my external (probably due to organizational mishaps and podcast downloads when not connected to the external, etc). I do not know how many files this is the case for.
Recently, i decided that i wanted to consolidate all of my itunes music into one concise folder on my macbook's HD to avoid these issues going forward. I also just bought a new external which i will use to back up my comp's itunes folder once i consolidate everything to the comp. But i plan on using the itunes folder on the comp going forward or at least using the consolidate fcn to avoid these issues.
Here is my dilemma. Prior to learning of the consolidate feature today, I changed the default itunes folder in settings to the original itunes folder on the macbook and then manually dragged all of the media files from my external itunes folder to the macbook's itunes folder. There were a ton of duplicates or overlapping folders with similar artist names, so i opted to have them merge all folders where possible. After doing this, i realized the itunes library still references these files that i dragged and dropped from the external since that is where my default itunes folder used to be. At that point i then read and learned of the consolidate itunes feature which seems like the best way to do this. But i am afraid that if i consolidate my library to my macbook's itunes folder now, will it create duplicates of the 4000 + media files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder which are already in the itunes library but being referenced from the old external??
Question: Is there a way that i can make these files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder become the ones referenced by the itunes library through the consolidate feature without creating duplicates of these 4000+ files? I want to avoid having three copies of these files (two duplicates in the itunes and the originals on the external). Furthermore, is there a best way to find out which files in the macbook's itunes folder are not being included in the library after consolidating everything to the computer's HD? Then after that, what is the best way to start backing this all up to my new external, so that this overlapping issue doesnt happen again? Im assuming i just need to make sure to consolidate first when changing itunes folders going forward. Thank you. I know that was a lot to read but hopefully someone can help with this issue.

In general:
- The best way to check if files are in a library is to drag the whole media folder to the library. If something was missed it will be added. If it is in the library is won't be added a second time.
- If you have a second copy of a file and iTunes does not currently list that specific file in its database then even if it is identical to one already in the database it will add it a second time. So if you have file xyz on the internal drive and the external drive and add them to iTunes you will end up with two entries for the same thing in iTunes because you really do have to copies of the files. While this can happen with two copies on a single drive, it will almost definitely be the case when you have a copy of a file on two drives because iTunes really sees them as two different things.
-Unless you know how iTunes works, avoid moving files yourself. Let the consolidate feature do all the file moving. Manually moving files can really mess up iTunes unless you know what you are doing and have iTunes set to not try to do it itself.
- There's no clean and easy way to delete duplicates. The best thing is to change practice so you don't create them. Here are references:

How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?

In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.

This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
THanks
Matt
