Check the cost per hour of a work center

Hi all.
I need to make some calculations to determine if a change in work tools is justified. Basically, on our CNC machines, we have one operation that requires 2 tools of lower value (drilled hole using a bit, tapered at the top with a reamer). Tech department has proposed we switch to a new single tool that replaces the 2 previous, resulting in a faster operation time (drill bit with reamer). I'm sorry, I don't know the correct name of the tools in English, but that's beside the point anyway.
The tool is more expensive than the 2 previous tools combined, but allows for a larger number of holes to be drilled compared to the old drill bit, but less tapers than the actual reamer can do. Assuming the bit does about 1000 holes before needing replacement and the reamer about 5000, I divide the total cost of the tool by the amount of operations it can perform and I get a aprox. cost per hole for each tool. The new tool does about 2000 then needs replacing. Being more expensive, I have worked out that at it's most basic level, the cost per hole is a bit higher for the new tool.
Now, however, I need to factor in the gain from the time reduction. For that I need to know the machine cost per hour.
My question: what TA can I use to check the total running cost for a workplace, given a specific time period, or the cost for a predefined time period? I was thinking of somehow using MM03 for that, but I can't since the TA seems to be pulling a production variant that involves several conventional machines instead of the variant that uses the CNC. If I could somehow get MM03 to pull the correct production variant for calculations, then I could maybe use that. Any ideas?
All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Nuno,
Cost esitmate is done using CK11n.
Cost estimate display using CK13.
The rate per activity can be maintained in KP26 against the cost center.
Contact your FICO consultant for the details.

Procedure to change the standard value key of a work center

Hi Gurus,
What is the procedure to change the standard value key of a work center.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
PPQMUSER

Hi,
Just go to CR02 and change std value key, system will give you an information massage 'Standard value key : parameter XXXX after changed' as per the parameters used in new std value key.
If you want to change the customization for allready used STD value key, then you need dealocate that key from workcenter, and then change the customization.

How do I check the cost of the query ?

I did
set autotrace on traceonly
set timing on
and executed a select statement.
I got a execution plan and statistics
What should I check in this output.
Pls help me how to tune the query

The EXPLAIN plan display will have a header called COST and that's where the cost of individual steps and overall cost of the SQL statement will be displayed. There is no such thing as normal value for cost.
Also, a high cost does not necessarily mean that the query execution plan is bad. Cost is dependent on how the statistics on tables / indexes etc. have been collected.

HT1688 my Iphone 4 quit working. It will not recharge and it was not low on charge when it quit. It was sitting on a table. I checked the time and then it never worked again.

My Iphone 4 quit. it has a charge. it was on a table. i checked the time and it never came on again.
Please help.

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If it hasn't appeared after 20 seconds of holding charge it for 15 minutes with the wall charger and try again.

Multiple cost centers linked to one work center

Hi all,
is it possible to link multiple cost centers to one work center ?

Dear Bjorn,
1.For the same work center its possible to assign only cost center at a time or say for a validity period.
2.Its possible assign different cost ccenter for the work center for different validity periods,provided the
rates are also define properly in KP26.
3.One cost center can be assigned to multiple work center.
4.Its possible to define different rates for the same cost center and activity type combination only
for different periods.
3.Same activity type may be having different rates for a different cost center combination.
4.Only one cost center can be valid for a work center.
5.Same cost center may be linked to many work centers.
Check and revert back.
Regards

HttpSession session =

If you pass "true" the session is always created
new.
Thanks and regards,
Pazhanikanthan. PI dont think that's correct -
1. request.getSession(false) returns a Session object if one exists.
2. request.getSession(true) creates a new Session object if it doesnt exist or returns the reference to the existing object if the request is part of an valid session.
OP, check with default session-timeout values in web.xml

HOW TO DIVIDE THE COST PER MONTH IN CONTRACT WHICH IS PER YEAR

Dear all,
i am triggring a project with reference to a quotation and i get the planned cost in
of the project in my quotation.So this cost of the quotation is for a year assuming the duration of the project is one year.
i am copying a contract document from this quotation in which the monthly billing
plan is there.here it is again multiplying for 12 months whereas i want it to divide it
by 12.can some body throw light for me to get a solution for this problem.
Assured reward points for timely support
Best regards,
R.Srinivasan

I think the answer is very simply that you should be using a 'milestone' billing plan rather than a 'periodic' billing plan. The milestone billing plan divides the total net value of the line into the milestones determined by the milestones in your WBS element, network, manually maintained in billing plan screen, or from a reference milestone billing plan. The periodic billing plan instead creates a billing periodically for the entire net value which in essence multiplies the amount by the number of billings in your plan.
You mentioned cost. If you want to divide cost across the term of the contract, you will need to look at CO functionality such as networks, service orders, RA, or other cost planning and accrual tools.
If you are trying to bill in accordance with your costs, you need to use resource related billing which can be integrated with milestone billing.

Check the time of edge server stop working

We have exchange 2010 in our environment. There is an edge role installed in a server. The server was hanged and mail service stopped working. But unfortunately we dont monitor these time.
How can we see the last time the edge server working i.e from when it stopped receiving mail from outside domain.
and what is the reason for server hanged?
NB: The whole time internal domain mail send/receive was ok.
Setu Bandhan Saha

Hi
In your event viewer it should give you some indication of when the server stopped responding. It can be due to updates, running out of resources, potential hardware failures.
If possible can u plz tell me where in event viewer(system,security....)

Cost Center - Work Center Table

Hi!
How to get Cost Center from Work Center? . Any Table?
Thanks in Advance
Bekele

Hi Bekele,
First get the Workcentre Object ID in CRHD table for your work center. Then with the Object ID, get the cost centre assigned in that work center in table CRCO.
I guess, you dont get both in a single table. Hope this help you !!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - The Really High Cost Per Page

On February 6, 2014 I bought an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-one, including the OPTIONAL tray 2.
I use it in my home office with five computers. One is a new Apple MacBook Pro OS 10.9.5, another is a three year old HP Laptop on Windows 7, and another is a five year old Dell Desktop still on Windows XP.
I bought the printer to . . . print. I thought I might be a nice convenience to write business correspondence and print an envelope, without the need to change paper, or otherwise touch the printer until I was ready.
The printer is advertised, even in the user manual and box, to be capable of 1200 dpi printing, even though it uses the below average PCL Print Driver and not Post Script.
The printer works fine, but the HP driver and utility software must be written for a different printer. If I put HP Inkjet 20# paper in tray 2, and #10 envelopes in a locked tray 1, I can print at the "best print setting" which still isn't great. But it works.
If I put HP Premium Presentation Paper 32# paper in tray 2 ($8.00 per 100 sheets), and the same quality #10 envelope in tray 1, the printer software loses it's mind. It performs the same on all five computers.
When I try to print a business letter and envelope the print driver and HP utility grays out tray 2, and it grays out the "best" print setting. In short the only choice is NOT to use HP brand papers, or remove tray 2, print the business letters, and then remove the 8.5X11 HP Premium Paper, install envelopes, and print again. Not what I had in mind.
I've been in touch with HP as the printer is still under warranty. They offered a replacement, that will have the same printer an utility problems, or to buy it back at $175.
I bought the original printer for $249, tray 2 for $125, and 5 XL print cartridges for $149. That is a total of $588. If I sell it back to HP check out the cost per page. At $588 - $175 = $413/2742 total pages = 15 cents a page! Owch!!!
There is nothing wrong with the printer as such. The problem is the HP Utility and Driver. When did HP stop using a traditional warranty, and give pennies on the dollar, when they clearly have a software problem, they refuse to fix?

Hi there @Oceankey , welcome to the forums
I understand your Officejet 8600 is no longer copying an entire page from the scanner bed.
I am unsure of which troubleshooting steps you have tried for this problem however, I would suggest updating the firmware (if needed), power resetting the printer and to ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Finding actual costs of hours booked in CAT2

Hello experts,
I am trying to locate the actual costs per hour that will be posted when a person enters time on a timesheet in CATS with a known activity type and cost centre.
I believe the formula in the work centre calculates 'planned' costs - but I am looking to find the actual costs from a costing sheet.
I hope this is simple enough
Many thanks

Hi,
Activity hourly rates, you can see in COST table. As for CATS cost, you can see against relevant cost object. For example, if you charged your time against a newtork activity then you can see this actual cost in COSS table against the network activity object number.

Sreekanth
