Update: VZW shipped me a brand-new Samsung Droid Charge in retail box

The VZW store that i went to was very nice and knew immediately what to do. I was in
and out within minutes. The phone arrived via FedEX and it was a BRAND NEW phone
in retail box.   Again, this may vary.... others on this forum have reported getting
certified like-new phones.     I had to go back to the store because VZW forgot to include
the 4G SIM card which is required for 4G phones.   The manager gave me a SIM card
and activated it for me.   She said that most of the customers who exchanged Fascinate
for the Droid Charge have been getting new phones in the last few weeks.... the reason
is that VZW doesn't have that many pre-owned Droid Charge phones. That's not surprising
because the Droid Charge has been out only a couple of months.
VZW only guarantees that you will get a cerfitied like-new replacement Samsung Droid Charge.
It should be as good as new. If not, VZW should have no problem exchanging it for another
until you're happy.   I personally would not have minded if they sent me a like-new unit.
Makes no real difference to me. IMHO, getting a brand-new phone in retail box was just a
just a nice bonus.
My Droid Charge has been working great and I am very grateful for all the information that
other VZW customers and employees have posted on this forum.

OMGoodness!!!
The VZW rep in my local store did the exact same thing! I just got my phone today (spanking brand new, in a retail box) - alas, minus the sim card, which won't be delivered until tomorrow...
I think I'll go into the store, too - mainly because they want the Fascinate returned w/in five days. I need time to transfer everything over & make sure I don't miss anything. It's going to be a super-charged weekend & I really need to get this done tonight & play w/it.
Hopefully, they'll give me one.

Multiprovider for Brand and Inventory Cube

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I have been asked to show the stock report (0RT_C37) at Brand/Monthly level.
But the problem is that 0RT_C37 does not have Brand field.
I have tried to create a multiprovider on 0RT_C37 and 0MATERIAL to show the Brand as Brand is available in 0MATERIAL. But somehow I feel this is not the right join as the cube 0RT_C37 does not have the field for Brand (or is it that I'm wrong ? )
EG:
0RT_C37 fields
PLANT, MATERIAL, STOCK Qty, STOCK Val (No Brand)
0MATERIAL fields
MATERIAL, BRAND...etc
Now my result should look like:
PLANT, BRAND, STOCK Qty, STOCK Val
If I activate the brand as a navigational attribute in the cube 0RT_C37 then I will be able to see brands from today and not for the historic records.
Please do send me your suggestions in order to create the result as shown above.
Regards and Thanks in advance,
Govind

Hi All,
I have found a solution to my problem.
I have created a query by giving brand selection on the infoobject 0MATERIAL.
Now the result is just the 0MATERIAL on the row.
This will return all the articles of the brand given as an input.
This rersult is then chosen as an input via a variable created with replacement path on 0MATERIAL.
hence I get the movements of the articles for a particular brand.
Regards
Govind

Field and table

Hi,
Can any one tell me the difference
1) We can unarchive repository after right clicking on specified repository
or right clicking on server.
What is the difference between two?
2) Can any one explain me with example what is Qualifier table , qualified record, Display Field, Remote key (which we can see in destination field during field/value mapping). It is not clear to me which source fields we should map with which destination field.
3) I am some doubt with look up table, fields and taxonomy field Can any one give me simple example rather than link.How can we create all this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pappu,
1) We can unarchive repository after right clicking on specified repository
or right clicking on server.
What is the difference between two?
Ans : The only difference between the two is when you unarchieve the repository by right clicking on the server it will ask the name of the repository and creates the new one while in other case it overwrites the existing repository on which you have right clicked for Unarchieving.
2) Can any one explain me with example what is Qualifier table , qualified record, Display Field, Remote key (which we can see in destination field during field/value mapping). It is not clear to me which source fields we should map with which destination field.
Ans : Qualifier Table:
Consider the simple example given below:
If one Product is to be sold in different countries with different price depending on the country then in such case if you kept all this information in the main table then it creates the redundancy
E.g.
Product     Country     Price
100     India     50
100     US     60
100     UK     40
Now if you model the above data using Qualified table in which Country will be the non-qualifier and price will be qualifier fields then
Product                                       Country     Price
100                                             India     50
                                                  US     60
                                                  UK    40
i.e. you are eliminating the redundancy by storing the repetative information in another table and just forming the link between main table record and its corresponding qualified table records.
Qualified Records:
Records stored in the qualified tables are known as qualified records like India 50 is the qualified record in above example.
Display Field:
If any field is declared as the Display field then the data of that field will be visible in the main table in MDM Data Manager.
E.g. Consider the lookup table name Countries with the structure shown below:
CountryName     Code
India     Ind
United States    US
then when you select the drop down list say while entering data then you will get
India,Ind
United States,US
Otherwise if only code has been set as the Display Field then only code will appear in the drop down list
Ind
US
Remote Key:
Remote key is used when you want to communicate with many systems like say you want to send particular MDM records to R3 and some records to BW system.Then you have to enable the Remote Key property of the main table and select the remote system say R3 if you want syndicate the records only for R3 system.
3) I am some doubt with look up table, fields and taxonomy field Can any one give me simple example rather than link.How can we create all this?
Ans:
Lookup table:
These tables are used when you want to select the data from some fixed set of records like countries.
Create the lookup table countries and assign the table to the field(lookup flat) of main table then when you enter data into that field you will get the drop down list.
Taxonomy table:
Taxonomy table is used when there exists some fields whose occurance depends on the value of other some field.
E.g. Say there a main table field named Product which consists of values like Shoes and Bottles.When you select Shoes then field Brand appears and when you select Bottles field Quantity appears.Now if you create 3 fields named Products Brand and Quantity then for product field value Shoes quantity will be null and similarly for Bottles Brand field will be Null.Imagine the scenario with lacs of records.
Now when you use taxonomy table to model the above design it will be as shown below:
1. Create the field Product in the main table with type Lookup Taxonomy.
2. In the Data Manager create two attributes named Brand and Quantity.
3. Link the value Shoes with the Brand and Bottles with the quantity.
Whenever you select Shoes, Brand field will appear automatically and similarly for other case.

How we add a field in Article Master

Hi,
In MM41...Basic Data view.. My client required Brand as a field.
Brand field was avaliable in Mara Table.But in MM41 its not appearing.
Let me explain clearly..
I put Brand as a Mandotory field with HAWA Article Type in SPRO.I created a Article (MM41) and i am trying to save that it was showing that you made Brand was mandotory.please insert value. But i am not able to find that Brand filed in any view in the Article Master.
Please help me..
Thanks & Reagrds,
Srinivasa Kumar.
Edited by: Björn Panter on Aug 11, 2008 9:47 AM

Hi,
Ensure you are using the correct screen sequence settings...You made it required in HAWA try making it required for MM01 as well in your configuration settings. Hope that helps.

MDM for Retail Hierarchies

Hello,
We are planning to implement SAP-MDM as master data solution for retail hierarchy management. By retail hierarchies, I mean, lcoation hierarchy, merchandizing (product) hierarchy, time hierarchy etc. Each of these hierarchies have 4-8 levels, and have 10-40 attributes at each of the level. The business requirement is to create, maintain, and distribute the hierarchy data.
1) There are requirements around validating the attribute values for required vs. non required (by business unit, for instance?), drop down vs. free form text field, text length, text vs. numeric;
2) Then there are requirements around security that apparel user cannot update hierarchy for footwear products; an in-line user cannot update a promotional product; in-line and promotional are values of a node.
3) Then there are audit requirements on who made what change when.
Q1: Has anyone done retail hierarchies in MDM so far? If so, any tips/tricks or learnings you had? I know MDM can meet all the validation, security, audit requirements for fields; are the same available at taxonomy attribute level?
I am also planning to use Retail artcile (out of the box) repository as the base, and add the retail hierarchy taxonomy on top of that.
Q2: Does anyone have field meanings, descriptions or notes for the tables and fields in the retail article repository? f you have, could you please share them with me soon?
My deadline for finishing the prototype and doing a demo is next Friday.
Thank you in advance
Savi

Yes , Equipment master can be modeled in SAP MDM through the use of a custom repository as out-of-box business contents are not provided by SAP . Recently I came across an opportunity where they wanted to implement MDM for equipment master due to following reasons :
Maintain a complete Equipment/Location wise hierarchy at a central place
To be able to consolidate similar equipments across plants
Cleanse existing Equipment masters
Effective data management (Search , Author , Update etc.)

Inconsistent Purchase Prices in Retail Promotions (transaction WAK1)

Hi guys
I have an issue on my current project whereby purchase prices are not being pulled into the Purchase Price fields in the Retail Promotion correctly. Currently the system pulls Purchase prices as follows
When the user creates Retail Promotions SAP pulls purchase prices as follows.
If a List Price exists and no Deal Price then it doesnu2019t pull anything into the Purchase Price Fields
If a Deal Price exists which has discounts maintained against it SAP pulls the gross Deal price, i.e. it doesnu2019t take off the discounts
If a Deal Price exists without discounts, it pulls this correctly.
If anyone has encountered this before your advise would be warmly received.
Thanks
Brett

Hi
This will work for POS but the actual purchase price pulled into the promotion is still not consistent with the condition record price. What the system does is it looks in the price schema, picks the first condition type (in this case the deal price condition) and just pulls the price from this ignoring any discounts maintained as supplements. If no deal price exists it pulls nothing rather than looking further down the schema and pulling the list price. Anyone know if I can make this work so it acts like pruchasing document pricing, i.e. includes supplements and keeps looking until it finds a condition record

Microsoft Access 2010 Creating a Form from Multiple Tables

Hi.
I am brand new to Microsoft Access and have had some exciting success making forms from single tables. This has made my data entry life much easier. However, I am continually stumped on one form I want to make. I would like to make a form that will let me
update which brands retailers are selling. Most of this information is in my SalesHx table. However, my SalesHx table only uses RetailerID and BrandID to record history. The Brand's name (linked to a BrandID) is stored in my Brand Table and the Retailer name
is stored in my Retailer table (linked to a RetailerID). I would like to be able to see the brand's name and the retailer's name when entering in data on a form, since I cannot remember the ids that associate with the names. I have been able to make a form,
with a subform, that displays all of the information I want to see. When I update this form, though, with a new record, it invariably thinks that I am adding an entirely new record, not simply recording a new sales date for an already known brand. Even if
I make the brand name a combo box that is limited to the fields on my table, this still happens. I will have BrandX as brand number 100 and as brand number 300 if I add it in through my sales history form. I am ready to throw access out the window. Can anyone
offer advice?

When I update this form, though, with a new record, it invariably thinks that I am adding an entirely new record, not
simply recording a new sales date for an already known brand.
In what table is the SalesDate recorded?

An Open Letter to VZW Regading the Fascinate Debacle

To Whom It May Concern:
My wife and I have been faithful,long term Verizon customers utilizing most services that Verizon provides: wireless,DSL,and land line. We decided to go the smart-phone route last year in September and took advantage of the BOGO offer that was being pushed on the Samsung Fascinate. We were exceedingly happy with this phone. However, in February of 2011 my phone became inoperable and was replaced with a CLNR. We both waited patiently for the Froyo update to be available;that occurred ,I believe in May, and that was when our problems with the phone started becoming more prevalent! Sporadic missed calls and texts,random reboots,screen freezes, and failure to install downloaded apps to name just a few. ED04 was supposed to fix these issues, but proved to be an accelerant to the aforementioned problems.
I tend to follow the technical aspects of my electronic equipment faithfully on various forums (including VZW's). I learned that we were not alone in these issues and contacted VZW customer service tech Kate on 07/21/11 in regards to my Fascinate problems. We went through all the recommended troubleshooting on the phone and she concurred that I was eligible for a replacement (my choice of DINC2,X2,or Charge). I opted for the Charge and she said I would have to go to a Corporate store and have them process the order as she could not. My wife subsequently contacted Tech support and was deemed eligible as well. The ensuing few days were busy for my wife and I, so we went to our local Corporate store in Dedham,MA on 07/24/11. We presented ourselves to the CSR and explained that we were already approved for the Charge as our replacements. We spent the next three hours in the store trying to obtain what we had been cleared for to no avail!!! Needless to say I was very upset and chose to leave the store, stating that I would take this matter to the next level. While driving home I was contacted by Christopher Stevens(sic), a supervisor from the Rochester,NY service center. He was very polite and professional. He said that the Charge was out stock at the moment,but that he would see to it that our request for the Charges were fulfilled! We were content with that. He went on to say that he would be off on Monday and Tuesday (also saying that a shipment of Charges was expected on Tuesday), but that he would work everything out Wednesday (0727/11) and have them to us by Friday. I was told to also expect a call from him with tracking numbers for the phones once they had shipped.
I waited patiently for his call, even left him a message. I received a call at 2:48 PM Friday July 29 from Chris stating that they were in stock but that he couldn't order them on his end and that once again we needed to go to the corporate store. We did this and yet again we were stonewalled!!! Our tech was Orlando( very nice and professional),who went to the back area of the store to speak with the manager;he in turn spoke with Chris Stevens(sic) in regards to our phones. Again we were offered everything but the Charge!! The manager didn't even come out to speak with me! Orlando informed me that Chris needed to speak with his assistant director(Amy) and that Chris would contact me today(07/30/11) regarding this matter. We left the store at about 8:10PM. I didn't hear from Chris this AM,so I left a message on his phone(585-xxx-69xx) at 1:04PM to see where my wife and I stood. He called me back at 3:32PM,but I could not answer the call because my phone froze up on me,Twice!! I finally got to speak with him at 3:43PM and the news was not what I was expecting! We were left holding the bag on what should have been a smooth transaction; I fully expected to receive two new Charges for my wife and I. Instead the only thing we got was an offer for two CLNR Fascinates or DINC2's and to try the ED05 update (which was done already AND does not fix our issues) if we didn't want the offered equipment. This kind of service is abhorrent!!! This morning my phone refused to even turn on. I performed two soft resets, and finally got the phone on. I'm truly disgusted by all this!!
Sincerely,
An Extremely Angry Pole

I'm very sorry to hear about your unplesant experience.
IMHO, you went to the "wrong" Verizon store.... did you try going to a different store?
(assuming there's another one within driving distance)
Here is another post about the same issue... except the results are the complete opposite
of what happened to you:

Need BADI or user exit to check info record on MM41/MM42.

System: SAP ECC 6.0 Retail
Problem: During article maintenance (MM41/MM42), we want to check certain fields on the info record (EINA) for only one valuation class.
Steps already taken:
Checked the current BADi. The current BADi, BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK, did not contain a parameter for EINA. (It did contain parameters for MARA, MARC, MBEW, MKVE, etc.)
Searched for other user exits and/or BADiu2019s. In SPRO/IMG under Logistics General, Material Master, Retail Specific Settings, Settings for Core Master Data and BADi: Additional Checks and Data Adjustment, I found u201CWRF_MAT_MAINTAINDATAu201D which contains a method u201CMODIFY_INFORECORD_DATAu201D. This looked like it may be what I was looking for.
So I created an implementation ZWRF_MAT_MAINTAINDAT. It insisted on defined filters. So I set up the following filters:
01     Core Article Master Data Maintenance
02     Article Copy Functions
03     Article Mass Maintenance
99     Not Specified
Then I activated it.
I put a break into the method, but the transaction MM42 (nor MM41) would stop at the break point.
Did I miss a step? Is this the wrong BADi? Are the filters wrong?
Can anyone help?

There is BAdI for this.

Group By in Report View

Hi,
I am trying to add a calculation field in my database object which sum the sales on basis of brand field. For that i tried to add calculation field in the report view but Group By button is disabled. I try to write "Sum(Sales) Group By Brand" but it gives syntax error. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arsalan.

Hi Arsalan,
"Group by" is not a valid calculation option for calculated fields in the database object, nor is it for the calculation fields in your report.
I believe that what you are trying to achieve is to have a SUM of all the sales done, grouped by Brand. This is typically something you configure while building your report(in Active Studio).
If you for example would only want to show 2 out of 5 Brands in your report I suggest you use a filter(which is configured while building your report as well).
For all calculation and operation options in calculated fields you can go to the Help section of BAM and search for "Calculation Operators and Expressions".
I hope I helped you solve your problem.
Kind regards,
Martijn van der Kamp

Can I talk to a live tech person?

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Your carrier/mobile provider *should* transfer you to BlackBerry level tech support if they can't help you.
Who is your carrier?
Also, where did you buy the device... brand new from a retail mobile provider, or used?
Also, getting assistance here is helpful if you would state the model device you have.
But for the problem at hand: You must enter the correct password to unlock the device. That is set at Options > Security > General Settings (or Options > Security > Password, according to the model device and OS release, but you didn't tell us that).
So, after a normal ten attempts, the device WILL wipe itself of all personal data, contacts, calendar, preferences, etc. That's the way it works. You either know your password or you don't.
Have you NEVER had to provide a password to access the BlackBerry in the past?

SharePoint 2010 Column Data Filtering

Good Morning!
Two questions for everyone. Building a SharePoint 2010 site and am looking to learn a bit about the SP interface.
Question 1: Is it possible to link information in the Content Organizer drop down menus to begin to filter the results that appear in drop downs further down.
Example: User selects a value under "Brand Field." Future fields are filtered based on the first selection. In this example, Brand and Product Segment are both Choice Columns (Multi-Variable).
User Selects: Brand 1;
Product Segments Available: Product Segment 1
User Selects: Brand 2; Product Segments Available: Product Segment 2 & 3
Question 2: Is it possible to create levels of library filtering in the tree view. I am working for a client who has 300+ product lines across their 5 brands, so the ability to limited
results while centrally warehousing information would be preferred. In the past they had accomplished a system using an intricate series of sub directories, but I would prefer to avoid if possible.

Bluetooth basics

I have a few basic questions that I couldn't find clear answers to elsewhere if anybosy can help me I would be grateful
I'm looking to connect mt Imac (which doesn't have inbuilt bluetooth with my SE V600i phone.
1) Can anybody recomend a good USB Bluetooth Adapter (or brand)? A decent retailer would help as well! Any kind of buyer advice would be lovely
2) Many USB BT Adapters talk about what OS they run on (most seem not mention OSX) does this only apply to the software? Will any USB BT adapter be compatible.
3)I know isync will do my calender and Contacts but without the software can I still transfer my photos and sound files?
Thanks you for your time.

Hi, Will —
Imho, the best answer to this query is also the simplest — as is the reason why:
D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter —
because:
(a) It works [1]
(b) The DBT-120 Revisions B2, B3, and B4 are the only adapters that Apple formally supports with its Bluetooth Software 1.5 and Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2.
In fact, I name these with intent — because you'll need to run both updaters to take fullest advantage of Bluetooth on Mac OS X 10.4. Please refer to this post from Alexander Traud for advice on the latter. For clarity, please note that the DBT-120 comes with Bluetooth Specification 1.1 "built-in" (as is the case with many Bluetooth adapters and other Bluetooth-enabled products on the market). Bluetooth technology has "come a long way" since then — with v.1.2, and then 2.0+EDR. Apple's firmware updater provides ~compliance with v.1.2 — thus the importance of its applicability. (2.0+EDR requires a different Bluetooth chip.)
I'd also suggest upgrading to OS X 10.4.6, if you haven't as suggested by your signature, using the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC.
[1] If you read the Apple Store reviews (1st link above) or do a search for, say, "DBT-120" via the Bluetooth forums' index page, you'll find that a number of folks have experienced difficulties, however — even with the appropriate model of the DBT-120. So please feel free to pursue any further questions you may have.
There are also some limitations in Apple's current Bluetooth implementation — for example, some existing profiles aren't supported yet. See Which profiles does Apple Bluetooth support? (Bluetooth 1.5 Help) for a listing of those that are. From what you've written, these issues may not be important to you for now.
I also suggest that you search this forum for "v600i" from the Search box at the top-right-hand-side of the main page. This should help you to answer all of your other questions — including some you may not have thought about yet...
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Dean
