Company new to robohtml products

Hi
I am a Technical Writer and have always used RoboHelp or
RoboHTML with companies that had already been using the products. I
have joined a company that has never used an on-line authoring tool
in the past. Here are some questions I have:
1. If we purchase RoboHelp or RoboHTML, do we need to get a
copy for the developers along with myself?
2. Do the developers need to understand single sourcing?
3. Should I generate HTML or XHTML help?
4. Exactly what do the developers need to do on his/her side
to be able to display the help file on a web-based application so
all of my conditional text and hyperlinks work?
5. Will they understand the map ID's and how they work?
6. How much time and training is needed by the developers?
They program in Java.
Thanks for all of your help
Caryn

Welcome to the forum.
1. If we purchase RoboHelp or RoboHTML, do we need to get a
copy for the developers along with myself?
# The only person who needs RoboHelp is the person producing
the help, so no your developers do not also need a copy. RoboHelp
installs both RoboHelp for Word and RoboHelp HTML. (I notice you
say RoboHelp or RoboHTML and I am not sure what you mean by that.
What versions are you thinking of?)
2. Do the developers need to understand single sourcing?
# No, that's your problem. You produce the online help in the
format(s) the developers require plus printed documentation if
required. The developers don't care whether you have a single
source or multiple sources.
3. Should I generate HTML or XHTML help?
# RoboHelp will generate HTML.
4. Exactly what do the developers need to do on his/her side
to be able to display the help file on a web-based application so
all of my conditional text and hyperlinks work?
# All the developer needs to know is how to call the help.
There are some topics on my site about that but they should already
know the basics at least. They don't even need to know about
conditional text. If you are using that, you will be creating
different versions of the help and all they need to know is which
one to use in which scenario. Once they call the help, all the
links will work, assuming you have created them properly of course!
Beware though if using conditional text that you do not exclude the
target of a link.
5. Will they understand the map ID's and how they work?
# They don't have to use map IDs as that is one of a number
of ways of calling webhelp. If they do choose to use that method,
again it is something a developer should know about. In any event,
it is their responsibility.
6. How much time and training is needed by the developers?
They program in Java.
# Depends how good they are! Seriously, this should be
straightforward stuff to them.

Adding new column in production order component overview

Hi Experts,
Please let me know any enhancement or badi available to add a new column to production order component list. There is a business requirement to display the fixed bin in component list.
THanks
RIjil

Sudhakar,
Check the MRP parameter 'Individual/Coll' in MRP4 view for the components. This should be set as 2 for collective planning. If this flag is left blank then planning will be based on the parent material (If the parent material is planned for special stock then the components will also be planned for special stock)
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Jaison

How to add new attribute in product catalog?

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
The requirement is to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen.
Do I need to create any custom java class?
Need suggestion!!
Thanks.

Rupali

Hello Rupali,
I am assuming a CRM E-Commerce scenario for my help here.
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
You must start from defining the new Attribute in an exisiting or new Set Type. Use transaction code COMM_ATTRSET. Once you have the attribute / attribute set defined, you can assign this to your catalog - in the header data as the Basic characteristic List.
to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen
See catalog/ProductDetailISA.jsp for tips - search for catalog.isa.attribute. The catalog item WebCatItem has all the details available already.
com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem currentItem = webCatItem;
If you want to show the details of attributes in the catalog page - say - catalog/ProductsISA.jsp, the instance of WebCatItem is already available. In this page look for
<isa:iterate id="item"
name="itemPage"
type="com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem">
You can see that item is an instance of the WebCatItem and follow the code in the <isa:iterate> loop. Using the following code
Iterator itemAttribute = item.getCatalogItemAttributes();
will give you the attribute list. You can iterate over the list of attributes and do what you want.

I want to propose an idea to Apple.has Apple an email to present new projects and products.

has Apple an email to present new projects and products? Microsoft for example has

Apple doesn't seem to accept product 'idea' submissions as much....you can use the bug reporter, however to make feature/enhancement requests tho.

However, if you intend to install it on behalf of your users (so that they do not install it and accept the license themselves) you need to get a distribution license. This too is free.

S there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & exec

ear All,
Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & execution module and CO-PC product costing module ??
Meaning.. any Power generation/Transmission/distribution or water production/Transmission/distribution company is using SAP PP or APO for their operation business processes.
Our client is actually an integrated Utility having very much integrated product lines like Processed Sea water for cooling, Process water for Industries, Potable water & Power for the communities/ industries.
Please let me know.. as we are planning to implement the PP and CO-PC for product costig..
As I know Tata chemical, Gujarat-India is using SAP PP module for their captive Power generation.(I have worked there as SAP CO consultant). But there is no transmission and distribution as such.
But production processes are covered by PP and product costing CO-PC is also implemented and it is giving very accurate cost per unit both for plan side and actual side.
regards,
George

Hello George,
I would not be able to provide you much detail about the PP solution as I was taking care of the controlling part. The BOM of power and water were defined as you have mentioned only thing we had additionally was Gas was also mentioned in the BOM since we had 6 gas turbines. But all of them were mentioned as not relevant for costing. So there was no cost being calculated from the material side. We had formula planning template (CPT1) that used to calculate the costs under the following heads which were defined as activity types.
a) Gas
b) Employee Costs
c) Consumables / Supplies
d) Operating Expenses
e) Depreciation
These components were planned at a initial price in KP26 and the quantity for them (except Gas) was units of power generated (for cost component it was 1 MW and for actual based on the quanity in the product cost collector). Power cost estimate used to be created at the begining of each period with help of this template and per MW cost was used in valuating the power generation in each of the product cost collectors (the turbines were defined as separate work centers as well as product cost collectors).
In the actual execution the power material used to be generated in all the product cost collectors and the usage of gas was confirmed. The template used to be executed in the month end (CPTA) and the same would allocate the costs posted in the power generation cost center to the product cost collectors (the amount would be the power units generated multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for Employee Costs, depreciation etc. and for gas it would be Gas units consumed multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for activity Gas). The power material generated would then be issued to the generation cost center along with the usage of gas for power as well. The next step is execution of the splitting transaction which would allocate the amount posted in the cost center to the various activities and then the actual price calculation would be carried out for the activities and the product cost collectors get revalued with the actual price. Upon settlement of the product cost collector to the generation cost center you would have the power material issue cost + settlement account. The amounts posted in these two accounts would be transferred to the water cost center using a assessment cycle with SKF that mentions the usage of water in power and another assessment cycle taking the costs in water cost center with help of SFK that quantifies usage of water in power. Now the power material cost + settlement amount - sent to water + received from water is sent to another cost center called power - distribution and from there the amounts including any distribution costs booked therein is transferred to other user cost centers using usage units defined as SKF.
What I feel later is the water activity could have been done before settlement and an activity type could have been defined for that purpose.
At the moment I can remember this much and would be happy to answer any more query which you may have. That was a good design though it had lot of scope for fine tuning.
Kind Regards // Shaubhik

Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & exe

Dear All,

Dear Pavan,
Thanks for the reply..
Yes, as you rightly mentioned..It is not very simple...Utility production is bit complicated than normally believed by majority.
But for captive production of power & water, we had used PP/CO-PC successfully for may be more than 12 years(in tatas)..
What was done in Tatas, power as a material(finished good) and BOM/ recipe for it in the PP.
(because we had used PP-PI there) and Power's BOM water is an input material and in Water production BOM power is an input material..i.e recursive BOM and system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And main product was input for itself in its third stage.. And steam is input for itself and input for power/water and opposite also true..
And we got 5 different steam, like 50 pound, 100, 250 pound ..Still with all these complexities PP/CO-PC is able to give actual cost per unit accurately. So for production/generation standard PP/CO-PC will work fine...we are 100% sure...but for transmission and distribution is there any better way or solution model ??
But the main thing or the question is that whether you are able to get the actual qty of production consumption in process.
Then system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And on the actual side of product costing, we have to use the material ledger functionality, wherein we can use multilevel settlement by which we can settle the actual cost variance at each stage of production to the next stage of production.
But the first reaction, when people hear about utility...it is very very simple...you are only producing one 2-3 final products..only 2-3 technologies involved...
But reality is quite different...and currently all the major utility company's production processes are outside SAP system, even when they are using SAP for all other functions/departments...but their main function is to produce water/power is outside the system..and like any other company production/generation processes are the most repeated activities in their company.
And if you see..even two repair works in say SAP PM module processes are different to each other..(still we are using a SAP module-PM for that to have historcial data and to learn from our from experience)
But production of desalination water from desalination plant is same today, tomorrow...day in ,day out...it is same..
And if we are saying we cannot co-relate input quantities with output quantities..we are essentially saying we have no control over production processes and we don't want to standardize our most repeated activity(production)
Anyway, since production processs is out of the system means, no quantitative data-production related is available in the SAP system and most of the organisation using excel for reporting of quantitative data-production related..

George

Transporting new developments in Production

Hello Experts,
I have made some new developments in an ODS that is already transported to production. The ODS is loaded with data and delta running daily on it in the production system.
Now my question is what steps (in proper sequence) should i follow to transport this new development to production , so that it will not effect the data and delta.
Please reply the steps.

HI..
Follow this order:
1] New info objects if any.
2] Targets(ODS)
3] Infosource, CS, TR, UR, TS and infopackages..
All are with overwrite mode..
Thanks
Assigning points is the way to say thanks.
New changes in the data target by addition of new objects doesnt cause any issue.. but if u are removing any existing object from ODS then u need to drop the data from target system before the import happens...
