Conversion of GR/IR Account

Hi All,
Well, we are having a challenging task to perform. Currently, our GR/IR Account is opened as non Open Item Managed. We are now going to convert it to OIM account.
There are few suggestions of converting the account through a provided program of which SAP does not provide support and does not recommend as well.
What we can do is to create a new GR/IR Account. But all trails of current POs would not be available then. What we know is only 1 GR/IR account can be used at once, so new POs would be created in this new account but what will happen to the old ones?
Any suggestion?
BR

Thanks Santosh and Suwani for your suggestions.
The issue is there are around 150-200 invoices of which GR is posted while IR remains. We can't clear them all as PO use to create 20-25 per day therefore can have a single date of finding this account BALANCED.
What we have devised is
0. Create new GR IR Account
1. For all POs of which GR is posted but IR is not posted, debit GRIR in old account and credit with same amount in new GRIR account.
2. Balance will now be ZERO, of old GRIR account
3. Block old GR/IR account for posting
4. Configure new GRIR account in OBYC
5. Do MIRO (post IR)
6. Manually clear G/L through F-03
What do you people recommend of the aforementioned plan?
Thanks again
BR

How can I view all my iMessage conversations between a different account to the one i'm using?

Hi,
I want to find the first message I sent to an iMessage account, however since starting the conversation with this person, I have had a number of phones and therefore different iMessage accounts. I know the account that was the first one I used, however it is not the one on my iPhone 5 currently and therefore I can't view the first messages.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

Why would changing phones mean you have different Apple IDs? If you're changing AppleIDs everytime you get a new phone, you're eventually going to have problems. Signing out of iMessage doesn't delet the messages anyway. Signing back in won't restore messages you've deleted.

Data Conversion to Create Contract Account

What would be the best solution to use to create Contract Accounts from legacy data? I am weighing the options of using LSMW and Emigall. How would you weigh these options based on ease of use and performance?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi, Jack
Did you go to the path I indicated? In there, for each company code, you need to maintain which budget billing procedures you allow.
0 means no BB procedure.
SAP says:
"If you enter 1 (statistical procedure), budget billing requests are managed as statistical items in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) component and do not affect the general ledger.
If you enter 2 (debit entry procedure), budget billing requests are posted as partial bills.
If you enter 3 (payment plan procedure), the budget billing amount is requested as the new bill amount instead of the bill amount determined by billing and invoicing. The difference between the actual bill amount and the payment plan amount is managed in a special item. This procedure is used for monthly billing.
If you enter 4 (payment scheme procedure), the bill amount is integrated into the budget billing plan. The bill can no longer be paid separately. The budget billing requests are posted as statistical items in the same way to the installment plan.
If you enter 5 (down payment request plan), a special payment plan is created for industry customers. This plan is suitable for industry customers with monthly periods as the down payment plan for the month after next. To use this procedure, establish the settings in Customizing."
After that, you need to maintain all the activities related to the BB procedures you want to use, in SAP Utilities / Invoicing / Budget Billing Plan. Check all activities and see what you need to customize.

SIII S3 How do I send a long text message conversation to my email account?

I have a need to put my text message over the course of the past 4 months into an email to give to my attorney.
How do I tell my phone to send me the conversation?
I do not want to copy each piece and mail it as it is a discussion over over 4 months so there are hundreds of messages.

Have you looked at the numerous SMS Backup applications available in the Play Store? They can send the entire conversation to an email address or to a file for you to transfer to the computer and print from there.

IPhoto Conversion ModileMe + TWO Flickr Accounts

Two quick questions.
I just migrated over from iPhoto and I noticed that there does not appear to be an indication on my folders that I have published albums to Flickr or to MobileMe (as there was in my iPhoto Album).
I put a lot of time into getting these set up and can anyone assure me that this is idiot proof and I am unlikely to screw anything up? Do I simply try and publish something to MobileMe and just login with my account info?
Also, I have two Flickr accounts and I am constantly getting confused with this. Is there a way to publish an Album to one account as opposed to the other and vice versa? I mean, say it is linked to one of my Flickr Accounts but I want to publish to the other one.
Anyone know how to handle this?
Thanks (newbie).

Hi Ernie. Thank you. I just downloaded FlickrExport for Aperture for a couple of bucks and look forward to testing it out. I think it seems to handle metadata very nicely when linked to Flickr which is nice.
Can I please ask you what this looks like on your end from a mechanical perspective? I mean, you have a bunch of different Albums for your different accounts and you drop images in there when you want them to link to that account?
How did you get them to go to the different Facebook accounts? I guess you just entered this once (for each?) when you published it initially somewhere or did you just change the /global/ settings somewhere publish, change settings again, publish next Album etc?
Thanks.

Hyperion Planning - Exclude some accounts from currency conversion

Hi,
I am using a multi currency application. I don't want to apply the currency conversion for few accounts although I am specifying the a/c members property exchange rate table to No rate. But still the currency conversion happens for these accounts. Please help.
Thanks,

I got an answer for you, I was able to replicate the issue.
Issue: When its creating Calc in the back ground HspCRtB its using wrong UDA: "NoRate" which should be "No Rate".
Edit the script, save it and execute both the scripts HspCRtB and Currency Conversion and you will be good .
I will update the details in my blog soon today!
Cheers...!!

Managing conversations with user on different accounts in Messages

I'm having trouble understanding how conversations work across different accounts in Messages. For example, my friend and I sent messages to each other via my Gtalk account earlier today, then a little while later I clicked on her name in the left nav of the Messages window and the earlier conversation was gone. It was only showing our last iMessage conversation via our iPhones. I went back to the Buddies window and double-clicked her name, but it still didn't bring up the earlier conversation. BTW, I didn't close the Messages window from our earlier Gtalk chat.
Would someone explain how conversations with the same person on different accounts works within Messages? I assumed it'd retain all conversations between that user's accounts within the same window.

Hi,
Once you have a person in the "To" spot it should be linked to the Service (ID or Name) that you are talking to them on.
At the right hand of their Name is a small reveal arrow which makes it a drop down to Show other options (AIM, Jabber or Yahoo as well as iMessages)
It will depend on what is stored on their Address Card.
Example pic
It thinks my landline is a possible for iMessages
I have Messages open with 4 AIM valid Accounts logged in
From three of these I can call the one on this Address card (it's well known name that have been out there for a while)
Whilst you have to use the drop down and the Chat/Conversation can swap between the services the "History" should all be shown.
Example iMessage then AIM Chat
You Buddy can change their end and send you an iMessage and a New Chat should open up.
I.e. the Highlighted chat on the left is the one shown on the right and the "hi" opened the second item in the Chat list.
I am not sure why you appear to not keeping the "first" chat open or seeing a second in the list.
Having said I am having both ends of the conversation and your Buddy may be able to silently change the Service.
However you should still have the "History".
To See older Messages (or Chats) you have to be saving them.
At the moment I am not sure this is relevant though.

My brain hurts: Mega sharing multiple accounts and devices

What’s the best way to organize all this? I would like to avoid repurchasing the exact same DRM’ed content in too many itunes accounts.
I have a big family full of 6 people/laptops, 3 TV/PCs, multiple ipods, iphones, etc. per person; and a growing number of separate itunes accounts. All the computers are running Windows 7 and are on the same network so can all be shared. I don’t have a media server yet, but the PC attached to my “Main” TV serves this purpose at the moment and includes my “Main” itunes account. I’m beginning to consolidate all the media from the various PC/itunes accounts into this Main library.
*Answers to these questions might help me get started (and please also answer any questions I should have asked!)…*
1. How many different computers can be authorized per itunes account? I think this is 5.
2. Conversely, how many itunes accounts can be authorized per computer? (i.e. how many different itunes accounts/libraries can be shared and sucked into the Main itunes account connected to my Main PC/TV)? Also 5? Unlimited?
3. I think an ipod or iphone can only be synced to one library at a time (assuming no hacking). A library can hold media from several accounts (as in question 2). But how many different accounts/libraries, once sucked into the Main library, can then be synced to an ipod, iphone, etc.? Is the answer the same as question #2? I assume there is only a limit on DRM content (ie there is no from-this-library “tag” for non-DRM content).
4. I know I can have the same itunes account (ie apple id/login) on multiple computers. Each would still have its own “library,” however. Except for movie rentals, which are restricted to the computer, is all other DRM content tagged to the itunes account (apple id)? Not the computer or library? Does the “library” even matter in all these discussions? Or only the “computer” and the “account?”
*For sake of discussion, this is what I mean by (please correct)…*
A. Account = an itunes account, which is set up with a unique apple id.
B. Library = the itunes application on a computer has one library. Let’s assume “copy files” and “keep organized” are checked.
C. Hard Drive = where the content physically resides (a library can include pointers to files on multiple hard drives (what about on networked computers?))
D. Computer = DRM content can be played on up to 5 “authorized” computers. Is it the computer that is authorized or the library on that computer?
Ok, enough already. Thanks.

Hello!
1. Yes, the answer is 5. As stated here in the first few paragraphs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
2. I don't know. Why don't you tell us, since you have 6 accounts!
3. ipods can hold content of up to 5 itunes store accounts. As buried in this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1420
They can only auto sync to one itunes library, though.
4. DRM is tied to the itunes store account. You can check: highlight a purchased song, right-click > get info. The Summary tab shows the purchase info and itunes account.
Your definition of B) library is a little off. Each windows user Id on the same PC can have a different library database. If you have 6 windows users on one PC, and they each start itunes for the first time using all the defaults, there will be 6 itunes library databases. They can all be pointing to the same content.

Recent MCI to Verizon Residential Service conversion - Terrible

Hi Folks,
It is my understanding that Verizon staff members do review the posting here. I hope that this is the case as I would like to share many issues that I have experienced to help improve the process and services offered by Verizon.
First, ALL of the folks that I spoke with were very pleasant on the phone including someone in India! This is about all the good news that I can offer.
Background - Happily using MCI residential services over a number of years with two accounts. MCI worked great and performed all services in a clean and efficient manner.
Forced to leave MCI services and advised via letter that Verizon would pick up in the foot steps of MCI - I also understood that I could select other phone service providers other then Verizon if I choose to. Now I wish I had!!!!!
Typical MCI services that I had:
Caller ID
Call Waiting Caller ID
Three party Conference Call
Caller announce
Speed Dial
Voice Mail
Call Waiting, No Answer Transfer to multiple locations with Caller announce (managed by me the user)
Email Caller ID info (Sent to places I managed i.e. Black Berry - pop mail etc)
Internet Voice Mail pickup & Play - Store
Fast Access to Voice Mail from local phone (Dial 00)
Fast Access to Voice Mail from cell phone
Easily talk to live person for any variety of issues - Trouble - Billing - Competitive discounts - Promotions
Initial conversion to MCI (ALL service available and ready the day of conversion!!!!!!!!
Now the Verizon story and Oh what a story they weave.
Contacted the conversion Team as per the conversion letter TWICE two accounts.
Discussed all of the features that I had with MCI and Verizon's features & price (Did this twice - Two accounts)
Told by Verizon conversion department that 99% of the services are the same - NOT TRUE! Further the services were included in the discounted package (NOT TRUE!)
No date provided for the conversion
Call Waiting Caller ID was not provisioned
Speed Dial is not part of the package - More dollars and wait to have this added after service was turned up
Speed Dial is crippled and not very useful - No pause control so I can not program access number pause pause pause then account code or access number or pin number etc. Most Verizon folks I talked to have no clue as to what pause is in a speed dial string (this concept has been around for over 20 years - What is with Verizon?
Three party Conf call is NOT included in package Additional cost and wait to have this added after service was turned up
Call Waiting, No Answer Transfer to multiple locations (managed by me the user) is not available
Caller announce not part of package
Told that Email Caller ID info (Sent to places I managed i.e. Black Berry - pop mail etc) is not available - Found out from friends that have Verizon service that it is available via Verizon Call Assist
Contacted Verizon one day after orders placed to insure that I would have Verizon Call Assistant - Still waiting a week later - placed over 40 calls to numbers provided by Verizon (pass me on to someone or something else i.e. automated talking systems and 12 hours of on the phone over three days!!!! Most people that I spoke to have no clue what Verizon Call Assistant is, much less getting info or placing order for it - Even though it is FREE and part of service if you like.
Verizon services turned up randomly over the past week - What happened to Your are now on Verizon and your service are ALL available!
Additional note - After holding for almost an hour to connect with a live person in the Verizon Call Assist group - I was advised that the email they offer for Voice Mail deposits Only Indicates that you have a voice mail and does not include any Caller ID info - Since this service is still not turned up I am expressing what I was told. This means I am back to the drawing board - I really need to know who called remotly (IE Black Berry etc) whether they left a VM or not. Time to start looking for a new phone company....
I'm sure I left out a few things here and there.
My frustration level is beyond belief and it's hard to put into words that are acceptable for a forum. @#$%#$%&$^#%^
I use Verizon Wireless and have for many years - They have been top notch so I thought the incumbent wireline provider (Verizon) would have its act together. Boy was I wrong.
I invite any and all responses especially any Verizon folks that really want to do something about these issues - I would be happy to discuss in detail any and all issues presented.
Ren

Just a thought about Speed Dial - even if there were some way to program in a pause I do not see how this would help you in dialing account numbers or pin numbers because the Speed Dial service does not actually produce call tones but simply enables the user to dial a stored phone number by pressing 1 or 2 digits instead of 10.

Very Slow Query due to Bitmap Conversion

I have a strange problem with the performance of a spatial query. If I perform a 'SELECT non_geom_column FROM my_table WHERE complicated_join_query' the result comes back sub-second. However, when I replace the column selected with geometry and perform 'SELECT geom_column FROM my_table WHERE same_complicated_join_query' the response takes over a minute.
The issue is that in the second case, despite the identical where clause, the explain plan is significantly different. In the 'select geom_column' query there is a BITMAP CONVERSION (TO ROWIDS) which accounts for all of the extra time, where as in the 'select other_column' query that conversion is replaced with TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) which is near instant.
I have tried putting in some hints, although I do not have much experience with hints, and have also tried nesting the query in various sub-selects. Whatever I try I can not persuade the explain plan to drop the bitmap conversion when I select the geometry column. The full query and an explanation of that query are below. I have run out of things to try, so any help or suggestions at all would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Chris
Explanation and query
My application allows users to select geometries from a map image through clicking, dragging a box and various other means. The image is then refreshed - highlighting geometries based on the query with which I am having trouble. The user is then able to deselect any of those highlighted geometries, or append others with additional clicks or dragged selections.
If there are 2 (or any even number of) clicks within the same geometry then that geometry is deselected. Alternatively the geometry could have been selected through an intersection with a dragged box, and then clicked in to deselect - again an even number of selections. Any odd number of selections (i.e. selecting, deselecting, then selecting again) would result in the geometry being selected.
The application can not know if the multiple user clicks are in the same geometry, as it simply has an image to work with, so all it does is pass all the clicks so far to the database to deal with.
My query therefore does each spatial point or rectangle query in turn and then appends the unique key for the rows each returned to a list. After performing all of the queries it groups the list by the key and the groups with an odd total are 'selected'. To do this logic in a single where clause I have ended up with nested select statements that are joined with union all commands.
The query is therefore..
SELECT
--the below column (geometry) makes it very slow...replacing it with any non-spatial column takes less than 1/100 of the time - that is my problem!
geometry
FROM
my_table
WHERE
primary_key IN
SELECT primary_key FROM
SELECT primary_key FROM my_table WHERE
sdo_relate(geometry, mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003, 81989, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1, 1003, 3), sdo_ordinate_array( rectangle co-ords )), 'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
UNION ALL SELECT primary_key FROM my_table WHERE
sdo_relate(geometry, mdsys.sdo_geometry(2001, 81989, sdo_point_type( point co-ords , NULL), NULL, NULL), 'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
--potentially more 'union all select...' here
GROUP BY primary_key HAVING mod(count(*),2) = 1
AND
--the below is the bounding rectangle of the whole image to be returned
sdo_filter(geometry, mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003, 81989, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1, 1003, 3), sdo_ordinate_array( outer rectangle co-ords )), 'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'

Hi
Thanks for the reply. After a lot more googling- it turns out this is a general Oracle problem and is not solely related to use of the GEOMETRY column. It seems that sometimes, the Oracle optimiser makes an arbitrary decision to do bitmap conversion. No amount of hints will get it to change its mind !
One person reported a similarly negative change after table statistic collection had run.
Why changing the columns being retrieved should change the execution path, I do not know.
We have a numeric primary key which is always set to a positive value. When I added "AND primary_key_column > 0" (a pretty pointless clause) the optimiser changed the way it works and we got it working fast again.

Activate Open Item Management for a tax GL account

Hi experts
I have tried different options and explored forums but haven't been able to find the solution as yet.
I have some tax GL accounts (Tax Category field in their GL master is < or > i.e. Input or Output Tax Account). There have been postings to these accounts but these accounts are not open item managed. To perform clearing for these accounts, I need to activate OIM for which I'm trying FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP but the system gives me error"
"Not possible to determine tax indicator in company code xxxx
Company code xxxx is not considered for the activation"
When I further drilldown the error, i find the following information:
Diagnosis
Postings to the selected account require a tax code. On the basis of the company code data (T001), the system tried to determine a tax code for zero tax. However, there is no such tax code stored for the company code.
Procedure
Specify the tax code for zero tax in the company code. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Assign Tax Codes for Non-Taxable Transactions.
I have checked settings in OBCL for Non-Taxable Transactions and found that I0 and O0 are maintained for Input and Output tax (also tax jurisdiction). In Table T001 I also find these entries so these seem to be complete.
Can somebody please help me sorting out this issue.
Many thanks!

Hi,
Some G/L accounts cannot be managed on an open item basis,
specially G/L accounts that are used in account determination for
automatic transactions (ie: accounts set up as bank accounts, Tax
accounts, raw material accounts, reconciliation accounts, profit and
loss accounts).
It is the standard design of the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP that there is no
conversion of a tax account to open item management.
Processes as the posting of the sales/purchases tax payable do not
process any clearing transactions therefore the open item management is
not necessary. Clearings must really never be posted to an input VAT or
output vat tax account, otherwise it would prevent subsequent processes
on the actual open items (Customer or vendor). The only tax account on
which the open item management should be possible is the G/L account of
the deferred tax.
Hope my information was helpful for you.
Regards,
Cristiano

Currency Conversion issue for YTD model

Hello,
Currently our Client is using YTD (year to date) model to maintain data into BPC 7.5NW, and planning to use BPC for currency conversion from LC to USD. They are not converting the values in Transactional system. When performing this all Balance sheet accounts will be using YTD model for conversion, but income statement accounts should be using Periodic values for conversion.
We have two different Entity FX types: one is USDFNC - USD functional and NUSDFNC - Non USD functional. One of the differences between these two FX types is CTA account, USDFNC is using expense Account to Book CTA and NUSDFNC is using Equity Account to book CTA.
To achieve the above mentioned requirement, I did configure BPC as follows:
1) Use RATE type AVG (average for Income statement accounts)
2) Use RATE type END (spot rate for Balance sheet Accounts)
3) In business rules for Account rate type AVG- formula would be [AVG], apply to periodic flag will be checked.
5) in business rules for Account Rate Type END - Formula would be [END], apply to periodic flag will be blank.
6) To calculate CTA for ENTITY FX type- NUSDFNC, I configured the following in Account Rate type AVG - destination account is equity account, Formula is [END]-[AVG], apply to periodic flag will be blank and Entity FX type is NUSDFNC.
7) To calculate CTA for ENTITY FX type- USDFNC, I configured the following in Account Rate type AVG - destination account is expense account, Formula is [END]-[AVG], apply to periodic flag will be blank and Entity FX type is USDFNC.
Above configuration is giving me correct converted result for all Balance sheet accounts and income statement accounts are showing the correct values when I use the formula (current period LC amount-previous period LC amount)*(current period AVG rate). But I saw difference in Balance sheet, so further analyzed CTA (currency Translation Accounts) and found that the difference is because of CTA amount only. Similar CTA differences exist for both USDFNC entities and NUSDFNC entities. So, I think my logic to calculate CTA is not working.
I am using the standard script logic to run Currency Conversion:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
     CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
     TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
     CURRENCY = %RPTCURRENCY_SET%
     RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*COMMIT
Can any one help me to understand whether this configuration is correct? I feel that I may need to change the logic for calculating CTA. But not sure about what and where
Edited by: amarnathputta on Nov 24, 2011 5:36 AM

Thank you Ethan,
Let me try to explain this with few dollar amounts:
Let us consider that I have data for 1st month (Jan) of the year 2011,
Net income for Jan. 2011 in LC = 59916152.19
Net income for Jan. 2011 in USD calculated using Average rate is = $ 9,223,013.14
CTA for the same month is (net income in LC X spot rate) - net income in USD at average rate =((59916152.19)*(0.154617))-9223013.14 = 41,042.564
This value is correct.
For the month of Feb 2011:
Net income for Feb.2011in LC = 60415519.01
Net income for Feb.2011 in USD at average rate (with periodic flag on) = 9,300,112.38 ( I calculated this value manually and it is correct after conversion)
calculated CTA for the same month is (60415519.01*0.154083)-9300112.38 = 8,892.035.
But actually BPC calculated CTA is 18,547.56 (I felt that this may be because I am not using the Flag apply periodic value while calculating CTA and when I flagged that, BPC is giving me a very big difference in CTA)
My balance sheet is exactly off with the difference in CTA.
Hope this helps you to understand my problem.

Account is billing old, closed SA's on current bill

I have some accounts that are acting strangely in CC&B. I have a customer who moves out and leaves a balance. The SA's are closed and this information comes over during conversion. Now, the same customer starts service again and the first bill is showing the old closed SA's as well and charging the past amounts in addition to the new charges on the new SA's. These closed SA's can go back years...
Is this a configuratin issue and if so from where? Do we need a new algorithm for processing these scenarios or will this be a code change?

This is a standard feature of CC&B - if the customer moves out, leaving a debt, and then signs up again with the same account, the previous debt will appear on the bill along with any new charges. If you don't want it billed, you could choose not to convert these amounts, or write them off during conversion, or not reuse accounts - all are possibilities, depending upon the business requirement.
Regarding the status of the old SAs - if they have a financial balance, they should not have been converted as "Closed". In CC&B, the system will change SA Status to "Closed" only when there is no financial balance, and you can also close an SA online, but only if there is no financial balance. The meaning of "Closed" is essentially that there is no financial balance.

Post Accounting Entries only in Parallel Ledger

Hi All,
I am activating Parallel Ledger (Parallel Currency: USD) in a SAP system which has already gone "LIVE".
In our data conversion exericise, migration GL accounts will be created where all USD translation differences that arise will remain in these migration GL accounts.
Thus I would like to ask if there is any transaction T-Code where I can clear the USD translation difference amount sitting in the migration GL accounts,i.e. to post only in the Parallel Ledger without creating postings in the General Ledger (Leading Ledger).
Thank you for your time!!

Hi Sunil!
Thank you for the prompt feeback!
F-05 is very useful. But I can't seem to find a T-Code with FB50L.
Are we looking at FB50? If it is FB50, where can I determine in the document entry the Ledger Im posting to. By the way Im using SAP 4.7.
