Business areas related question- please suggest

Hello,
we are implementing mySAP 05 from scratch , please suggest if we should define business area and if we can use them wihtout flaging it at the company code level. is it beeter to just rely on profit center and acitvate it required for all accocunts instead of using business areas, we are trying to avoid using BA's actaully so really need good advice if the same functionaluty can be captured by pca and how can it be acheieved.
kindly suggest, points will be awadred

Hi,
I suggest that you should go with Profit Center Accounting and not Business Areas. As you are implementing from scratch I suggest that you use New GL where the functionality of segment accounting / Leading ledger and other ledgers are quite good and will be helpful.
Some of the OSS Notes which you can refer are 826357, 1018065. There is alkso a specific OSS note which distinguishes Profit Center Accounting and Business Areas. I will let you know the Note number once I trace it.
Thanks
Murali.

Inteview questions: Please suggest

Hi SAP Gurus
I have a few questions, could you please answer them:
1) which of the following is relevant for delivery ; item category or sched line category and why. because both have a check button and what it is significance then.
2) From where does item category usage comes and what is its significance.
3)Shipping conditions are maintained for which partner function in customer master.
4)Storage location is determined on the basis of storage condn, shipping point and plant. Then what is the use of storage location rules and how they are applied.
5)When the pricing is done, is it applicable to header level or item level.
6) What are group conditions and header conditions, in which one of these there is no access sequence. Could somebody give me a scenario in which we can use group condition and what are the configuration needs to be done for this.
7) In consignment stock process there are 4 steps involved, which of them are not mandatory.
Thanks in advance
Naveen

Hi
Please donot post more questions in a single thread. If you post it separately, you will get many responses and detailed explanations from more members.
Regarding your queries.,
1. Relevant for delivery field in Item Category is for TEXT Items and for others you should configure the field in Schedule lines.
3. Shipping conditions will be defaulted from the CMR of SP. If a value exists in the sales document type (eg. OR) then it will have priority and will replace the value defaulted from CMR.
5. The pricing applies to Item Level only. But you cannot determine different procedures for different line items.
6. Header conditions will not have access sequence and you cannot create condition records for header conditions in VK11.
7. In consignment process - the first two steps are mandatory i.e., Consignment fillup and consignment issue.
The other two steps are required only if there are returns from the customer(not consignee) and if there are any unsold stocks at the consignee.
Thanks,
Ravi

Business Intelligence related Question - R12

Hi All,
We are moving to R12 soon, and right now use Discoverer Reports, BI Publisher Reports, RDF Reports and an in-house built data warehousing tool which we want to get rid of due to maintenance overhead. Moving to R12, we would like to have one tool where we can consolidate all our reporting in.
Is there BI tool that comes as part of R12, that can be used for reporting? We also might use OBIEE, which I think is a seperately licensed product.
Do you have any sugegstions?
Thanks in advance.

Some of the DBI (Daily Business Intelligence) stuff still works, I think, but I can't speak for how well the various dashboards have been maintained between 11i and R12. Oracle's preferred direction is seems to be for customers to use the OBIA (Business Intelligence Applications) product instead for pre-built Apps business intelligence (http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/ent-performance-bi/bi-applications-066544.html#erp) . And, of course, if you want to roll your own, there's OBIEE: http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/ent-performance-bi/enterprise-edition-066546.html .

Business Connector related question

When I am in Business Connector and trying to right click on Trident package to Unlock it so I cab modify it and it gives me the following error:
Java.lang.NullPointer.Exception
When I click on more details I get Server Error occurred
Any ideas what is missing
or what can be done

Hi Chander,
I think all you need to do is the following.
1) Logon to the new development bussiness connector server via the administrative UI
2) From the admin screen on the left tab click under Packages -> Publishing
3) You will be taken to a screen the has available releases ...click on Add Subscribers
4) you window should have the following path Packages>Publishing>Add Subscriber
5) Choose a package. enter the following:
    Host Name: ( your production bus. connector server ip
    Host Port : ( your production bus. conn. server port ( default = 5555 )
    Transport : HTTP
    Remote user name: (your production bus conn user name )
    remote pw:              ( your production bus conn pw )
6) Click on add subscriber ( provided you have entered the correct un/pw and have acces to the server..you will get message that server is now subscriber to package
7) Click on return to publishing ( path should read Packages>publishing
8) Click on create release
9) under the package you set as a subscriber to production click on create release
10) enter package release information - click on create release at bottom of screen
11) return to publishing - path should read Packages>Publishing
12) you should now have a link send release to the right of your package
13) click on send release - from next screen click on your subscriber (production bus conn ).
thats it...

2 collections related question, please:

1. Each time i'm overriding equals i must override hashCode too, right?
2. I have a list that it's items are:
public class ListItem{
    private Person p;
    // more members
public class Person{
   private String name;
   private int age;
   // more members
}I want to extract all occurrences that match a certain condition (for instance - the name contains aa and the age is 16-31).
I thought of iterating over the list and check listItems with equals (after i override equals of course) or implementing comperable in both classes above -
is there another way to do that WITHOUT iterating over the list?

The point is only to show
that a developer can always write some weird code
(probably caused by an even weirder design) which
will be in conflict with your must rule.Yes, and so far I think all such code would be wrong. Even if the field is private with no setter, some other developer (or even you, forgetting your youthful foibles) could change the value to something else, thus breaking the equals/hashcode behavior. Likewise assuming the class will never be used in a hash container is quite fragile. And in case there's any confusion, it is not my rule, I was just attempting to state it properly. From Object docs:
"The general contract of hashCode is:
- If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result."
So if equals doesn't use all non-final fields that are used in hashCode, it's extremely fragile at best.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

Hi,
I have an answer for your 1st question only.
After putting the data in F.01 click on the "Arrow" which is there beside the option Business Area which will take you tor "Multiple selection for Business Area" window.
In that window do not enter anything but select the 3rd option, "Maintain selection options". you will get one more window with the options 1. Single Value 2. Greater than or equal to and so on......
Select, 1st option, Single Value and execute (F8). Also select - "Classical List" option under List Output in F.01, you will be able to see "Non Business Area" related GL's in Balance Sheet.

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

A/c doc not created and error msg "Business Area Miss-Match Check input"

Hi,
After creation of new Plant and Business area create a invoice , But my accounting document does't created and error msg show "Business Area Miss-Match Please Check Your Input". plz suggest me.
Regards,
Sohail

Dear Sohail Rahman,
Looks like the Business area has not been properly assigned.
Business area can be created for three combinations:
1. Business area by sales area
2. Business area by plant and division
3. Business area by plant and item division
In your case, check whether the business area is maintained for the combination of plant/division and plant/item division.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Business Area not populating in Accounting Doc Post Division Change

Hello Friends,
Platofrm: SAP R/3
We created a new Divisions (06) and assigned them to the Material in Plant 155. A new business arae (PTIC)
was also created and assigned to sales are 0020 00 06.
Later we did couple of assignments (Enter Str>Assig>SD>) where we assigned business area to division - Plant - Sales Org
and Dris Channel ) .
Now to validate the changes I am posting a Sales order in sales area 0020 00 10 - to see whether the newly created business area is getting populated or not. Post sales order - delivery- goods issue and _accounting doc - in the accounting document
I dont see the business arae PTIC. Old business area (PTI) is getting populated.
I wanted to know whether Material is controlling the business area in accounting doc and where I am missing the link.
Our aim is to see business area PTIC in final accounting document so that we are sure that the material - whom we assigned division -06 is giving business are ptic.
Please assist and provide suggestions.
George

Hi,
Go to SPRO > Enterprise Controlling > Consolidation > Integration: Preparation for Consolidation > Preparation in the Sender System > Further Settings for Business Area Consolidations > Sales and Distribution
And check the below settings:-
- Assign Rules per Sales Area
- Assign Business Area per Plant and Division
- Assign Business Area per Sales Area
