Confused about the Landed Costs Allocation Account

Hi, Im uncertain about which account to use in the landed costs module.
What we are doing right now is this:
We add our raw materials throught the Goods Receipt Module Debiting our inventory and Crediting the allocation account which its in the liability category.
Next we add our transportation and import costs through the landed costs module. Here we debit the same inventory account and Im not sure as to which acount to credit. Should I use the same allocation account?
Can some please share your experience?
Thank you.

Hi Jose,
You should use a different allocation account. When you pay the bills to the customes agents and freight companies for the landed costs, they can be coded to this allocation account and can be reconciled accordingly.
The allocation account used for the goods receipts is cleared when processing AP Invoices to the suppliers, and should also be reconciled for differences
Hope this helps

How the Landed Cost Absorption will be null

Dear ,
I create a new PO amount is 1000 $ with landed cost shipment is 50 $ . After received the shipment system creates the following GL entries.
Receiving Entry :
DR Accrual Account = 1050
     CR Accrual Account = 1000
     CR Landed Cost Absorption = 50
Material Entry :
DR Inventory Account = 1050
     CR Accrual Account = 1050
After create a invoice and match with receipt and shipment the "Accrual Account" is "0" which is ok. But what about Landed Cost Absorption which is still reamins the balance in GL "50" $ after complete the full cycle. Please advise when or how the Landed Cost Absorption will be "0"

Hello
Please accept my appology for this delay,
I know it is too late for this reply, but I just following this discussion for the general benefit of this community (sure, if you still following this, it will be greate)
Generally, by referring to Oracle Support Document ID 782920.1, Landed Cost Absorption account should not be zero if the following conditions are met:
1. Default Charge Account (in Receiving options of LCM enabled organization) is different that account used for Landed Cost Absorption Account, and
2. Estimated LC amount differs than Actual LC
Accordingly, the opposite is true, you have to use the same account for LCM charge and absorption and LC estimated amount(s) are the same as actual LC actual charge amounts
For complete explanation just review the following oracle support document:
How Landed Cost Management and Accounts Payable Accounting flow (Doc ID 1310019.1)

Confused about the default schema

Hi,
I am a little bit confused about the schema concept.
I want to create a new schema called APP and then create several users and roles based on the schema APP. The default schema for the users should be APP achema.
How can I make the schema APP the default schema for the new users that I am creating?
I feel that there are some schema design concepts that I have to learn. Is there any resource on the internet that I can read and learn more about oracle schema design best practices?
Any help would be appreciated,
Ali

A schema holds object definitions, and in the case of table & index objects the schema also holds the data.
A user owns the schema.
Therefore the user 'owns the definitions (including any functions, procedures, sequences, tabels, etc.)
Other users may be granted access to some, or all, of the objects in a schema. This is done through the 'GRANT ...' command. For example, consider the following steps:
1) create user app_owner
2) create table object test owned by the app_owwner
3) create user app_user
4) grant select, update, insert and delete on app_owner's test table to app_user
5) add synonyms to avoid needing to qualify the table's schema name.
done as follows:

6 temporary tablespace temp;
User created.
Creating objects in a schema can be done by providing the schema name, or by switching schema in newer versions of Oracle
SQL> create table app_owner.test ( t number );
Table created.
Create a userid that will access the table. Set that userid up to access the database and (for future) give it the capability to create it's own synonyms
SQL> create user app_user
2 identified by xyz
3 temporary tablespace temp;
User created.
SQL> grant create session to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant create synonym to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
Now give the user access to the objects
SQL> grant select, update, insert, delete on app_owner.test to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
Let's test it out. Insert by qualifying the schema name on the object, then create a synonym to avoid using schema, and try it all using the synonym
SQL> connect app_user/xyz
Connected.
SQL> insert into app_owner.test values (4);

Landed Costs- Allocation By Weight.

Hi,
When trying to allocate landed cost by weight the Freight(FC) column which shows the bifurcation of cost amongst individual items distributes the cost in a manner which is difficult to understand.
e.g. If the landed cost is $50
There are two items as follows:
Item 1: Qty 50 , Weight 75 kg
Item 2: Qty 20, Weight 20 kg
The Per unit bifurcation of the cost in the "Freight (FC)" column is shown as 0.79 for Item 1 and 0.53 for Item 2.
Logically, the total cost should be divided by the Total weight and then priority should be given to the item weighing the highest....
However, this is not what is happening.... Instead $50/95 kgs= 0.5263 or 0.53 is the costing apportioned to the lowest weighing item
Can you please explain?
Regards

I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!
Cheers,

Confuse about the document

Hi,all . From the document ,i had confused about the following .
Automatic Undo Management in Oracle RAC
url >> http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b28759/adminrac.htm#CHDGAIFJ
Oracle automatically manages undo segments within a specific undo tablespace that is assigned to an instance. Only the instance assigned to the undo tablespace can modify the contents of that tablespace. However, each instance can read the undo data blocks created by any instance. Also, when performing transaction recovery, any instance can update any undo tablespace, as long as that undo tablespace is not currently being used by another instance for undo generation or transaction recovery
what's the meaning of above that is bold ?

Say you're running a 2-node RAC and node 2 dies. The services which were running on node 2 now get re-located to node 1. It is then possible that node 1 will perform transaction rollback/recovery and, when it does so, it will need to be able to read from node 2's undo tablespace (and maybe update the undo segment headers in node 2's undo tablespace, too).

Question about the order to creating Account, Contact, Contact Role

Hi, my friends,
I have some questions about the order of creating Account, Contact, Contact Role, etc in Web Service 1.0. I could create them in the following case:
1. Insert Contact object and get contactId (now new contact exists in CRMOD)
2. Insert Account object with Contact Role child associated with contactId
My questions are:
1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).
2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?
Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,
In response to your questions:
1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).No. Both the Account and Contact must already exist. The Role value is an attribute on the Account Contact relationship, this relationship must exist in order to assign a role value to it. This is consistent with the behaviour of the UI, when you press the New button on the Contact child applet, you are taken to the Contact New page where you can create a Contact record. Once you save, the relationship is created but you cannot assign a role value unless you click the Edit Roles link next to the new Contact.
2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?Correct, the system needs to know which Account/Contact pair is being assigned a role value. To do this the Account and Contact values must be uniquely identified using the Id values for each.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sean

Confused about the battery...

Hello everyone,
I'm from Pakistan and I just switched to Mac almost 2-3 weeks ago. Since, they have proper apple authorized dealers here so I finally decided to get one for myself. I had some confusion about the battery and my system and now I'm getting very much concerned and worried as a matter of fact.
I installed coconut battery (as few people suggested me) to check my battery status. First of all, it shows the age of my Mac as 5 months, which is pretty surprising since I got a brand new one and even the condition is of a brand new one so I have no clue why did it say that.
Secondly, I would like to tell the condition of my battery:
Current Battery Charge: 3591 mAh (I'm using on battery power right now)
Maximum Battery charge: 4068 mAh
88%
Current Battery Capacity: 4068 mAh
Original Battery Capacity: 4100 mAh
99%
Additional info:
Battery-Loadcycles : 12
Age of your Mac: 5 months
Charger connected: No
Battery is charging: No
I am just concerned that my battery current capacity decreased to 99% after just 12 load cycles. Why is that? Some people tell that they have a 100% even after using it for a long time and other than that does anyone have any idea why is the age being shown as 5 months when I have only used it for 2 weeks.
I'm really confused.
Another suggestion that I want is that in Pakistan, we are having major electricity load shedding so I can't keep it on AC power most of the time so if my computer is shut-down and being charged. If the electricity goes and when it comes back and it starts charging to the point from where it left, will that waste the load-cycle or will it continue to charge it from there without wasting cycle? Does that affect the battery life? (Assuming that the computer is shut-down while being charged)
Last thing, should I use it mostly on AC power or is it better to charge it and then drain the battery and then charge it and then use. Till how much percent should I keep using on the battery power and then connect the Magsafe connector?
Please help people
I'd highly appreciate if you could answer my questions.
Thank you.

I was told that it is best to keep it plugged in and connected to the charger when you can, but if you are not able to do that then just use battery power. I just know you don't want too many cycles, which means you don't want to drain the battery completely then fully recharge it. You should calibrate the battery, which is pretty much just draining battery then recharging it, every couple of months if you keep it plugged into the charger and don't use just the battery often.

Confused about the meaning of Time Quota Types

I am learning SAP-HCM on IDES 6.0. I am confused about the meaning of Time Quota Type. I have gone thru the SAP documentation, but still not clear about it. Please help me with a few examples. How is it different from Absence Type?

Hi Gopal ,
Absences are very generic ones that we create which needs to be reflected in IT2001 and dedcution can happen.
Absence Quotas are the limited entitlement that is fixed say ur eligible for 10 days sick leave so here this is a Quota for each year and so becomes a Quota say Sick leave Quota =10 and will be seen in IT2006.
Now an absence needs to be linked to this Quota for dedcution.
An absence can be or may not be linked to a Quota.This depends on business Requirement.
Let me know if u have further Questions.
Thanks

Confused about the 'cpu fsb clock frequency' setting, etc., in cell in bios

just got a new k8n neo2-f nforce3 board with an a64 3500+ venice chip. It is properly recognized in the bios and windows as an a64 3500+ at 2.2ghz, but I'm confused about the cell menu settings in the bios. I see a 'cpu fsb clock frequency' which was automatically set at 200mhz, but the fsb runs at 1Ghz (1000mhz), so what is the 'fsb clock frequency' if not equal to the cpu fsb? Is 200 the correct setting for that? Should I need to change any of the other settings in here? I wonder, because my 3dmark03 score only went up 200 points from the same system with a AthlonXP 2500+ chip and kt4avl mobo, which seems like a low increase to me.....

I would set that to Manual in BIOS, so that you can incremently increase the CPU speed without causing a sudden crash. Each system is different and operates within the specs of not only the CPU, but system memory and PCI-E add-ins as well. Your video card is the primary driver behgind your 3DMark scores...but you haven't listed that?!

Landed cost - gl accounts connected to it

good morning
creating a landed cost from Goods receipt PO,
items tab (1st time) "Projected and Actual Customs" are the same, so put $ value at Actual
nothing entered on "Costs" tab,
So we "add"
and, get the error message "custom allocation and custom expense accounts have not been defined" (message 3569-7)
the GL's have been set up for "landed cost" and have checked the GL account determination and nothing is blank
what/where are we missing.
Thank you

Hi Jill2 Byford
Go to Administration >>> Setup >>> Inventory >>> Custom Group to define Custom allocation and custom expense accounts.
Hope this helps,

Confused about the date/time processing logic

Hi Experts,
i've sent this issue to OSS but they replied this is not a bug and not giving me any info, so I'm here ask for help:
(i've got 2 screenshots but it seems there's no upload in the sdn forum?)
we have the equipment warranty master data (check 1.jpg, the Warranties
assignment block)
and there're "Warranty Start" and "Warranty End" dates
we are confused how the data is saved and loaded with the timezones:
(how are the User Timezone & Server Timezone, or any other value related
in the following problems)
1, there're two pairs of columns, the 1st pair only shows date, the 2nd
pair shows the time also. --What's the diffenence?
2, when creating a new warranty master data, the 2nd pair shows the
hour/min/sec(in 1.jpg, "17:00:00"), by what logic, does the hour/min/sec
value come?
(in the 2.jpg, we can see different data with different hour stamps,
how is the value determined?)
3, how about if we use program to write the data, if we put timestamp
20120228000000 in the database, what does that mean to the system(which
timezone means to the system)?
4, when showing the start/end date data, by what logic (using which
timezone value) does the system calculated and then bring to the webUI ? (e.g. at Account Identification, after entered Serial Number in Objects, there're Warranty Start/End date, how's the value calculated?)
Thanks
Kane Xu

Hi All,
Thanks for your deatiled reply, I think the logic is somehow clear for me,
but now I'm facing a strange problem:
as the screenshot shows, the 2nd pair of time(with hour/min/sec) is the UTC time
I found that is stored in table COMM_IL_IOBWTY, the value is exactly the same on UI
we have a program and a FM, both using " CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_IBCWTY_IL_API_CREATE' " staement to write this value.
the program is set as a background job, but for now, at testing period, we run it manually in se38 each time we need
the FM is called from EN_ONSAVE of an OVView page of webUI
in the code, both in the program and in the FM, we put 000000 for hr/min/sec,
they works fine in our dev system, but in qas system,
the FM works fine, and after running the program, the hour value in table(and in webUI) is not zero,it seems changing by user timezone settings.
I'm so confused and tried to debug into the 'CRM_IBCWTY_IL_API_CREATE' and not found any code might be related to timezone.
Do you have any idea why this happens? Thank you!
Kane

Confused about the instructions for installing MySQL on my OS X client

I installed MySQL for OS X as recommended here:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
it looks like I managed to created a test database in the mysql directory, but now can't access it.
Basically, I'm confused about what to do after installing the MySQL server about setting permissions, getting databases to be where I want them to be, etc.
I tried download phpMyAdmin, since I am used to using that via cPanel on my ISP, but don't know how to use it on my Mac. Do I need to start up Apache to do that? And if I do that, won't it interfere with the mongrel server that I'm trying to use in the separate Ruby on Rails instructions?
I guess I could probably do all my development online via my ISP, which supports Ruby on Rails and where it is easy to set up MySQL databases, but if I could just figure out how to use MySQL on my Mac it would be fun to try to do this development offline.
Any hints?
Thanks,
doug

Have you done anything past those instructions? like creating MySQL user accounts, granting permissions, etc?
There's a whole lot more to running MySQL that just installing it (and I'm not sure why Apple suggest building from scratch when MySQL offer binary distributions which do all the hard work for you.
Once installed you should follow the MySQL Post Install Instructions for guidance on setting up accounts and configuring MySQL.
As for the PHPMyAdmin question, yes, you'll need Apache running. Whether that will conflict with any other web services you're running depends on how they're configured. I've never heard of mongrel to be able to advise further there.
