BPS Variable-Cost Element is not displaying Text

Dear Team,
We have a peculiar issue one of the BPS Variable defined for Cost Element is not displaying text in one of the Planning Layouts.
Another variable is displaying text in another layout.
Surprisingly...when I reused the old variable in the new layout it is also not displaying the text.
Am I missing something....appreciated your quick support.
Thanks & Best Regards
Srinivas

Have you check the layout Lead-Column setting? Is it set to 'Key/Description'?

Fixed and variable cost element's cost

hi,
i would like to clarify. need your kind advice.
1) can direct cost has both fixed and variable cost? can have example?
2) can indirect cost has both fixed and variable cost? can have example?
3) direct cost only happens in direct cost center and indirect cost only happens in indirect cost center?
4) can direct cost center assign to fixed cost element and variable cost element? Likewise, indirect cost center assign to fixed cost element and variable cost element?
thanks

Hi,
As per my understanding
Direct cost to a department could be variable or fixed.
Example: A supervisor in the X department would be a direct cost to the Dept A department. Since the X salary is likely to be the same amount each month regardless of the quantity of products manufactured, it is a fixed cost to the department. The supplies furnished to the X department will be a direct cost to the department, but will be a variable cost to the department if the total amount of supplies used in the department increases as the volume or activity in the department increases.
Indirect cost is the Power used to operate a production machine.
Example: The cost of the Power is variable because the total Power used is greater when more products are manufactured on the machine. Depreciation on the production machine is also an indirect product cost, except it is usually a fixed cost. That is, the machineu2019s total depreciation expense is the same each year regardless of volume produced on the machine.
As you can see, costs can be direct and indirect depending on the cost object: product, department. The cost is fixed if the total amount of the cost does not change as volume changes. If the total cost does change in proportion to the change in the activity or volume, it is a variable cost.

Activity Type: cost element does not exist

Dear All,
I am working on ERP configuration for PP module as an academic exercise. I am already through with FI, CO and MM modules.
I am not able to get through the Activity assignment step in PP module. (Accounting u21D2 Controlling u21D2 Cost Center Accounting u21D2 Master Data u21D2 Activity Type u21D2 Individual Processing u21D2 Create). While creating activity type labor (labor hours), I am getting error "cost element does not exist for aggregated period"
In CO module I have created primary cost element for "Labor"(Category: primary cost/ cost reducing revenues). Also created secondary cost element for labor (cost element category: Internal activity allocation).
Can anybody guide me on how to go further?
regards,
Supriya

Dear
Please revivew the following steps when you are creating a New Acvity type :
OP51 - Check Settings for formulas
OP54 - Check formulas for Costing
Ensure that usage of the parameters are indicated. Some parameters are appropriate for capacity calculation but not for schedule calculation. If you like to find out the parameter id, you could use the Search Fld. for Param. pull down button to do so.
KLH2 - Maintain hierarchy of Activity type group.
OP19 - Define standard value key
The purpose of standard value keys is to group together a set of parameters for the purpose of ensuring that the standard values for the parameters are supplied in the operations of the routing. This is so that the formula (for calculating cost, schedule, and capacity) could have the necessary figures to work with. Once the parameters are associated with the standard value keys, work centers quoting this standard values will be able to dictate whether or not the parameter values are optional or mandatory entry in the operations of the routing. The pre-requisite for using this transaction is that the parameters must have been pre-created.
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type. Maintain Correct From and To date inline with Activity Type KL01 - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element. (the Cost element field)
KP26 - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
If the user include the additional activities in their work center, the routing that used the work center will required more time to finished the jobs.
The operations Start and Finish date will be extended due to the extra time spent on the work center. The cost of production increases in line with the extra activity which will be reflected in the Factory Output when you do a cost analysis in the production order. The new activity will have a price attached to it and the moving average price will increase.

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

Firefox 33 HTML select elements do not display correctly

HTML form <select> elements do not display options correctly in Firefox 33.
For example:
<select id="field_4" class="mainForm" name="field_4">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="submitted"></option>
<option value="pending"></option>
<option value="discarded"></option>
<option value="all"></option>
</select>
should display a drop down with 5 elements (first one blank) but no elements at all are displayed.
The bounding box does not seem to be computed correctly so no options display.
I have observed this issue on multiple pages. These pages displayed correctly in older version of Firefox and they display correctly under IE. The problem occurs with no addons or additional themes installed. The problem does not occur in SafeMode so I suspect that it is theme related but the Default 33.0 theme is the only installed theme and it cannot be disabled outside of SafeMode. I tried installing and changing multiple themes without success. The problem persists after restarting Firefox and after rebooting the computer and even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
I can supply a screen shot if needed.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

Hello,
We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

Selection text and text elements contents not displayed

I have a language related problem
I have 2 servers .
In first server I logged in english language and the selection text and text elements are displayed in English.
The requirement is I dont want to translate these texts it should be displayed in English only even if I log into SAP with other language.
So if I log in german I see the texts in English in the first server.
But this is not the case with second.
If I log in with English I see the english texts but if I do in german I am not able to see this english text with proper contents .
Can anybody let me know if there are any settings to be done ? As its working fine in first server but not in second .
Edited by: Jalpa Shukla on Oct 22, 2008 11:19 AM

Hello Jalpa Shukla,
If you want to display the text in english language only better dont use Text-element
instead of using text element you hard the text in the program then you will display the text in same in English.
Try in this way, If not past the code i will give the solution

IMail not displaying text

I am using a 3.6 version of imail, when I send an email with attachments in it to someone using microsoft outlook they don't receive the main body of text. How can I fix this!?

In what way does this not make sense? The first line:
var welcomeMessage:String = "text I want to be displayed";
creates a string variable.
The second line:
welcomeMessage_txt.text = welcomeMessage;
uses the value of that variable as the text for a dynamic
text field. It
works, it's a pretty normal method of defining a variable's
value. And
it's a pretty normal method for using that value.
Please explain more about how and why this is incorrect.

Text is not displayed / Text wird nicht angezeigt

Working with FM 11 I've got a longer text written with an older FM-version with some headings and paragraphes that are not displayed. It's just free space or lines and in some cases it's underlined like misspelled words but the characters are not visible. Paragraph- and character-formats look normal (that is black text on white background) and the text is not conditional. BUT the text is displayed in the Markers-Pod, when I mark a passage and it's even possible to find words in these paragraphs searching for them. I would appreciate any hint, how to deal with this problem.
Georg

Hi Georg,
Sometimes I encounter a bug (FrameMaker 11.0.2.348) which also hides some text. I have a two-column layout with columns balanced. Usually some text is hidden at the end of the second column. When I add some empty paragraphs after the hidden text, the text appears again.
MIF washing does not help.
Luckily pages with hidden text have the Overflow property set. The bottom line of the text frame is solid. I wrote a FrameScript which checks for such pages.
I do not know, if your problem has the same cause.
Best regards
Winfried
