Common practice for additional cost like banking fees on PO's

Hi
Is it common practice to use the Freight functions for other cost like banking fee or other fees?
Can it be set up with different freight types that the user does not have to enter a value, instead he can just pick the type of freight and automatically gets the correct value?
I tried, but I it die not work ... its always 0 as proposed value.
Thanks
Franz

Hi,
Since freight is an expense, you can use this functionality wherein expense is involved, there is no wrong in this. Unless you have to keep in mind that the expense occurred in the freight tab would include in the itemcost if you run the item valuation.
To make the value come automatically you have to customize a bit. My idea would be define a user defined table, enter all the values required in it and apply a formatted search in the amount field which pulls the data from the user defined table.
Hope you understood.
Regards,
Aditya

Best practice for reclassifying Cost Center/Element

Dear experts,
Currently the company I'm working for are using SA document (FB50) if there are mistakes when posting cost to Cost Center, they will DR New Cost Center and CR Old Cost Center.
However, it is seem a bit difficult to trace the changes later on. Hence, I would like to ask for opinions on what is the best practice for reclassifying cost center or cost element.
Right now, I'm planning to propose of using KB11N to reclassify cost center. Is this a good practice and easy to trace the cost movement? Is there any different with normal journal adjustment via FB50 and KB11N?
Need some advices from experts.

Hi:
Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

Common Practice For Storing Application Data Files

During my application development targeting for XP and Linux time, I will store my application data files (Files where user may create, modify, rename, delete...) same path as my application directory. For instance, if my application is installed in :-
C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.jar
All my application data files will be located in
C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ directory.
This works quite well until Vista introduce UAC. Vista will not allow write opration to C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ folder (Config folder is being created during installer execution). However, to support legacy application, Vista use a workaround (Virtualization) for application to write. For example, MyApp.jar want to perform write on
Real path :-
C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config
Vista will redirect it to :-
Virtual path
C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\MyApp\Config
Please refer to the links for more detail
[http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/acl_common_data.aspx?display=Print]
[http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/MakingAppsUACAware.aspx]
However, this introduce several additional problems [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387]
May I know what is the common practice for storing an application data files? The below are my several thoughts
(1) Writing to
* Windows XP - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
* Windows Vista - %systemdrive%\ProgramData
* Windows 2000 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
* Windows Server 2003 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
* Windows 98 - %systemdrive%\Windows\All Users\ Application Data
which we may retrieve through "CommonApplicationData", using the API function SHGetFolderPath. However, how can we do that in Java? How to make compatible with Linux?
(2) Writing to user home directory through "user.home" properties. Create a folder .MyApp and write the application data on it.
Any input and suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks!

Is it common practice for Verizon to park in a private driveway to perform services?

A verizon Vehicle with the plate {edited for privacy} parked in one of my parking spaces for approximatley 4 hours today (he's still there as I'm typing this). Is it common practice for a represenative to park in another person's private driveawy to perform services for other consumers?
My son had no where to park, and he's still waiting for your rep to leave.
I want to file a complaint against this worker.
I can't even speak with him or her because they aren't in their car.
Is Verizon above the law? Can you guys just legally park whereever you want to? Serious question, maybe there's something you know that I don't.

Entering invoice for additional cost.

Hi,
I have a PO with some 200 line items and 3 header conditions.
I did migo and done MIRO also.Now I want to enter an invoice for subsequent debit for a value of say 200 EUR.
How can I apportion this in to all the 200 items ?
Is there any better approach ?
Secondly, If I want to enter an invoice only for unplanned delivery cost.When I try to do this the balance does not get zero.
Wher should I enter values.
Assuming 200 Eur , I put the value as unplanned cost then to balance out this where shall I put this 200Eur in invoice ?
I have 100 line items in PO.
Please suggest.
regards,
manOO

Hi,
Thx again for the explaination.However I am facing some issues and needs guidance from you.
When I enter invoice for vendor I always get some differences in the supplier invoice and the SAP value.Please suggest the approach in following cases:
1.
Invoice amount in supplier invoice greater than SAP suggested value.
The supplier invoice is correct but somhow SAP invoice shows lesser values.It sometimes goes to level of 50-60 USD.
In fact the user enters the PO based on the actual invoice since it comes with the shipment before GR(import procedure)
Still it gives differences.
If I want to accept vendor invoice then how can I adjust that difference in SAP.
Normally a PO comprises of 200-300 lines.In that case how can the value be apportioned on each line suggested by SAP ?
2.
Sometimes the SAP value comes more than vendor invoice.In this case how to adjust the invoice ? I can not put the exact value as received from vendor.
3.
In most scenarios I have PO with header conditions of 3-4 types(all copied from freight).However these are the conditions used for clearing charges,freight charges misc. charges etc and many a times they are to be paid to the local supplier.
If I have a exchange rate maintained on PO header and made it as fixed and my local currency is different(example: Goods supplier currency-EUR and Local clearing agent currency-say AED), then when I do invoice the exchange rate will be only applicable to the Goods supplier.Correct ?
When I enter Invoice for the same PO for Delivery costs which is a local vendor, it will not pick up the exchange rate mentioned in the PO.Correct ? It will pick the existing exchange rate maintained in system. Correct ?
4.
When can I use subsequent debit or subsequent credit considering my scenarios.
Thanks in advance.request you to answer the questions and suggest the approach.

manOO

If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

Inventorising a condition (for additional cost)

All SAP Gurus,
We have created a new condition type, cost of which needed to be inventorised (loaded on the material value).
What settings we need to maintain for inventorising this newly created condition?
Regards,

Hi
Add the new condition type in your calculation schema in the steps/counters as desired based upon your calculations requirement and put the from & to details. Once set , check the calculations working , by creating a PO & subsequent GR in your test/dev system. You may or may not have the account key & accrual key settings for the condition type you have added, depends upon your requirement.

Additional cost for finished goods

Hi all,
Here we are following fifo method valuation. we are using SAP B1 2007B PL 04.
I have a doubt how do we account the additional cost like Rent, Electricity etc.
and What G/L Account need to specify at determination level. Here we are determing G/L account with account groups.
I have a document for that but that doesnt give me clear picture of additional cost and
G/L accounts.
Kindly explain me in details with respectives to G/L Accounts
Regards
Shashi

Hi Shashi,
static costs should be included in a BOM as standard cost items. This will add to the item cost of the finished product.
Have a look at our Wiki here (Expert on Phone Newsletter April 2008):
[How to include labour cost in a BOM.|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/B1/Howtoincludelabourcostina+BOM.]
You can substitute other costs for 'labour'.
All the best,

Condition type for pricing came from PC but has not included the additive cost record

hello all;
we have the pricing base for the sales order with the estimated cost from pc; our costing process has a posting record for additive cost is not included on the total cost is sent to the condition type EK02.
question: It is possible to include these kind of postings?, in fact, these record apear on the costing report as part of the cost of sales..
thanks in advanced...

Hi Francisco
Two things,
1. Your condition type must be EK01 if you wanna use it in
Pricing
2. Additive cost in CK74 is at the level of material and plant. It is not at the level of sales order
If you wish to add costs manually in sales order cost estimate, then use Unit Costing as the costing method in your requirement class
Or use Product costing as costing method and use a costing sheet

Additive Cost and Variance Calcultion

We started using Tcode CK74N to enter additive costs for certian materials. I did the configuration needed in the costing variant and added a cost element for additive costs in the cost component structure.
Everything is working fine, when we run CK11n for a material that already have an additive cost estimate, the additive costs are being picked up and included in the cost estimate. if we mark and release the cost estimate the additive costs are being reflected in the new standard, so far so good.
My question is around the variance postings that happen once we enter a production order and settle the variance at period end.
lets look at this example
Assume the following:
Material X current standard = $100
Order X quantity produced =10 cases
Material X NEW standard after negative additive cost =$80
Scenario 1 (no additive costs) the total debits (Actual postings form material consumption and activity confirmation) to a the order = $900
The total credit was $1000 (standard*quantity produced) , a $100 in variance will occur, and the posting at settlement will be to Debit the price difference account and to credit the cost of sales account for $100. This is the normal case
Scenario 2 : We included a -$200 of additive costs for that material in the standard (new Standard is 80) , the credit to the order will be $800 instead of $1000 , which will make the variance -$200 and the posting currently is to DR cost of sales and credit price difference account for $200
The business and Based on scenario 2 wants to automatically generate a posting to the ACTUAL side of the production order equivalent to the additional variance caused by additive costs? which will put the variance back at 100.
They would like to see a credit to the cost element used in the cost component structure to book additive costs. and the reminder of the variance 100 in our example should continue to be booked to the same price different account .
If this is possible and right to do? what account should be used to offset this credit that being proposed to the additive cost element ? Because I assume that a new FI document should be created to record the credit?
Thanks for your help

Hey,
It depends a little upon the settlement rule of your process/production order.
If you are settling to the material (MAT), the price difference will only be accounted for with one line, without separation between difference coming from additive costs and other differences.
If you are settling not via within CO, you maybe have the possibility the way you settle, but I can not see how you can use such a logic in a settlement process.
What I would do, is to create a custom reposting program, which reposts the additive cost difference separately, after which the normal settlement can take care of the remaining difference.

Koen

Additive costs and LSMW

Hi ,
I have LSMW for Additive cost upload, but unfortunately we have additive cost for all materilas valid up to 9999 year so when ever we use LSMW for upload we need to hit (as it gives that screen showing previous additive cost estimate as it over laps) ENTER for so many times until we finish all materilas, so
can any one please tell me how to delete all additive costs which is maintainted till 9999 , so that we don't get any messages during LSMW upload?

Suraj,
Don't mind As both my issues are inte-rrelated I am dragging our conversaton, I saw that Field in KEKO-KKZMA, but it is Just a indicator that says this product is having some Additive costs, But not the Dollar amount,
S_ALR_87099930 the regular cost estimates report from the Field selection I can Have Additive costs but even this shows Blank, i really wonder "where can I see the actual dollar amount" or any Document that saves the data, Just Like a price change Document, as you said you guys developed the Z report (to be frank I couldn't do this in My last Project, Now I got the same requirement here with new Client) , If you can let me know the main Tables you (MARA, MARC, MBEW, KEKO, KEPH) you took as base,?
and where can I see actaul dollar amount, even in CK76N It won't show "the dolalr amount" for materials it Just Lists all materilas from where you need to Click and go in side to see the dollar amount,
If you want you can reply to below thread I will close this Thread,
Additive costs :Report

Best Practice for Extracting a Single Value from Oracle Table

I'm using Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0.
I'd like to know the best practice for doing something like this in a PL/SQL block:
DECLARE
    v_student_id    student.student_id%TYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT student_id
    INTO    v_student_id
    FROM    student
    WHERE   last_name = 'Smith'
    AND     ROWNUM = 1;
END;
Of course, the problem here is that when there is no hit, the NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised, which halts execution. So what if I want to continue in spite of the exception?
Yes, I could create a nested block with EXCEPTION section, etc., but that seems clunky for what seems to be a very simple task.
I've also seen this handled like this:
DECLARE
    v_student_id    student.student_id%TYPE;
    CURSOR c_student_id IS
        SELECT student_id
        FROM    student
        WHERE   last_name = 'Smith'
        AND     ROWNUM = 1;
BEGIN
    OPEN c_student_id;
    FETCH c_student_id INTO v_student_id;
    IF c_student_id%NOTFOUND THEN
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('not found');
    ELSE
        (do stuff)
    END IF;
    CLOSE c_student_id;
END;
But this still seems like killing an ant with a sledge hammer.
What's the best way?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Wayne

Do not design in order to avoid exceptions. Do not code in order to avoid exceptions.
Exceptions are good. Damn good. As it allows you to catch an unexpected process branch, where execution did not go as planned and coded.
Trying to avoid exceptions is just plain bloody stupid.
As for you specific problem. When the SQL fails to find a row and a value to return, what then? This is unexpected - if you did not want a value, you would not have coded the SQL to find a value. So the SQL not finding a value is an exception to what you intend with your code. And you need to decide what to do with that exception.
How to implement it. The #1 rule in software engineering - modularisation.
E.g.
create or replace function FindSomething( name varchar2 ) return foo.col1%type is
id foo.col1%type;
begin
select col1 into id from foo where col2 = upper(name);
return( id );
exception when NOT_FOUND then
return( null );
end;
And that is your problem. Modularisation. You are not considering it.
And not the only problem mind you. Seems like your keyboard has a stuck capslock key. Writing code in all uppercase is just as bloody silly as trying to avoid exceptions.

AS2 common practices and party definitions

Dear reader,
I've a question about AS2 identifiers and common practices as is explained in more detail below:
Context
We have implemented Seeburger AS2 adapter on SAP XI.
In our SAP XI environment we have depict parties in SAP R/3 (customers vendors etc) in SAP XI as well to enable clear depiction of message flows.
For large companies we may find several SAP XI parties because the company may have and an office in Canada and an office in the US. (These are two parties in the SAP R/3 system as well)
The company uses one AS2 server to communicate.
Seeburger AS2 adapter allows one AS2 identifier to be defined for one SAP XI party. It is not possible to define the same AS2 identifier for two SAP XI parties.
Questions
Is it common practice for large company to use one AS2 identifier for all their offices? Can we expect to have several AS2 identifiers, one per office?
If large companies only use one AS2 identifier is it wise to introduce a new SAP XI party specifically for AS2 communications and tigh the AS2 identifier to this party?
Note the questions above only apply to inbound processing. For outbound processing the sender and receiver party (AS2 identifier) can be set using a header map in an receiver agreement.
Your help is appriciated.
Best Regards,
Harald Kastelijn

Harald,
I think that the best way is to create different services for every division under the party (company) with multiple divisions. (Exp. for Party BMW you can have services BMW_DE and BMW_USA). AS2 ID is unique and even for large companies (if they have one IT department) is possible using of the same AS2 ID.

Best practice for SWC's in shared projects?

I'm creating a number of Flex components in Flash for a project where the development responsibilities will be shared between myself and another developer via SVN.
My question is regarding linking the SWC's in the Flex Build Path. The .swc files are stored in the project src folder (src/components/swc/Tab.swc) It doesn't look like I can use a relative path. When the other developer opens the project on his local workspace, will he have have to relink the SWC's?
What's the best practice for a scneario like this?

Um... ok. But, don't you still have to link the swc?
What I mean is, once I do that (place the swc in the library), I am unable to access that component. Seems as though I'm missing a step.
Will continue to consult the documentation, but some clarity on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
