  • Stock Value (VPRS- VRPRS ) doubled in COPA

    Dear Gurus,
    In COPA the value field  (VRPRS) stock value shows the exactly double., where as in the sales order it shows correctly.
    Is there is any way to correct the error of showing the VRPRS as exactly double for documents already posted for prior years=2007,2008
    This situation happened when we went for upgrade where in we forgot to put the standard user exit which will deactivate the existence of 2 VPRS condition type values at the same time where in only 1 VPRS condition type will be made active.
    We found this after upgrade and were able to correct this by moving the user exit code to Production and arrested the duplication of VPRS condition value update happening in  Profitability Analysis documents prospectively. 
    The client  is now asking us to rectify the duplicate VPRS value updated already for previous years in COPA.
    The value of COGS from FI side is okay for all the documents
    Is there any way we can rectify this?
    We have tried by deleting the existing COPA document generated with duplicate entry and subsequently posted the same sales order via Transaction code KE4F (Prepare subsequent posting of Incoming Sales orders to COPA) KE4S Transfer SD Billing documents to COPA and checked again the values for VPRS is doubled.   For information, presently the sales order contains value of VPRS (Cost) shows correct values (single time only and no duplication of the same)
    Thanks in Advance

  • COPA Subsequent Posting of Documents for Acct-based only

    We would like to change a few characteristics in KEQ3 from costing-based to both costing-based and account-based for the same operating concern.
    After doing this we would like to update account-based data subsequently (KE4F, KE4T, KE4S, KE4SFI, KE4SMM).
    It would be greatly appreciated if the experts could tell us if these programs will update only account-based COPA, as well as any other risks or considerations regarding this scenario.
    Thanks, Dan

    Hi Dan
    When you do KE4S, it would reverse and repost the COPA docs. I assume it will do so only for Cost Based COPA.
    ABCOPA docs are related to the COEP table. So, in my opinion, unless you reverse the FI doc and repost it, it wont take an effect.
    Also, PSG for ABCOPA gets determined during Sales order itself. So, you will have to redetermine PSG..
    Easiest way would be to roll out the changes for prospective Sales orders.
    Lets hear it from Waman Shirwaicar. He is the expert in this area

  • How to convince prospects that CF8 is OK?

    I realize this is a developer's forum, and I apologize
    because this is a "marketing" question, but does anyone out there
    have any suggestions (besides "run away & hide") for a large
    prospect that comes back and says (verbatim) --
    "Thank you so much for sharing this. [our latest new release
    features list] The functionality looks excellent. Will it continue
    to run on a Cold Fusion platform? Our Technology Services Team has
    determined that our CoP must be on a .net platform. If [yours] is,
    we would love to consider it. Thank you very much."

    Not much without knowing why their "Technology Services Team
    has
    determined" that their "CoP must be on a .net platform."
    Especially
    since those reasons may very well be quite valid.
    But, if you have not consider this, there are two angles that
    maybe
    relevant here.
    1) As of ColdFusion 8, it can make use of .NET code so they
    can become
    quite integrated.
    2) Take a look at New Atlanta's BlueDragon product. They
    offer a CFML
    engine that *is* a .NET platform. I.E. The CFML is used to
    create .Net
    applications just as Visual Basic, C, C++, C# or any of the
    innumerable
    other .Net language offerings
    http://www.dotnetpowered.com/languages.aspx
    It does not have all the
    bundled ColdFusion functionality you get with Adobe's version
    such as
    Verity, Report Builder, etc. But otherwise is a very
    competitive product.

  • FF downloaded some update and now I get error message saying update cannot be installed until I get rid of extra FF copies on computer-but I DON"T have any extra copies. I cannot even uninstall the only FF I now have!

    I have a Toshiba laptop, Windows & Home Premium Edition operating system. I had FF 3.6.3 installed and up until 6:00 today it was sort of working properly. I find out later that my huasband cannot even open the browser, as every time he does, a dialog box opens up whcih says "UPdate cannot be installed. Please make sure no other copies of FF are running on computer, then restart FF to try again." But I do not have any other copies of FF. I really do not like it when FF auto installs stuff without my permission. Many times this stuff is downloaded and installed, only to raise havoc with my computer.

  • COPA reporting with open and closed projects

    Dear All,
    I am designing a COPA solution for an infrastructure providing company using project systems and posting to/settling out of projects on a monthly basis. Projects run for long periods and continually incurr costs and earn revenue untill they are closed. The requirement is to report by common characteristics (say customer group) and separately for open and closed projects. My issue is how to separate the line items of projects where status changed to closed (having posted with the status REL previously), from the open ones, without entering the projects individually in the selections screen.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Maddy

    Dear Satya,

    An item of a purchase requisition is only regarded as Closed if the requested order quantity has been included in a purchase order.
    You can also set an item to Closed manually. <b>This item will then not be taken into account by the materials planning and control system.</b>
    You can set the Closed indicator manually at the following points (it can later be cancelled if necessary):
    When changing a purchase requisition, on the item detail screen
    When creating a purchase order referencing a requisition, on the item detail screen of the PO
    You can still create purchase orders by referencing a requisition if this indicator has been set in the requisition concerned.
    The indicator can also be set in the case of automatic PO generation from purchase requisitions. On the initial screen of the requisition, you can specify that the requisition is to count as closed as soon as an associated purchase order has been generated, even if the complete quantity requested has not been ordered, for example (Set reqs. to "closed" indicator).
    Analyses of Purchase Requisitions:

  • How do you stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies and backups of everything?!

    I already have a similar topic on this when I needed to figure out how to stop Mountain Lion from making endless copies of my text edit files and I was going to try the disabling of it that someone in that thread suggested, but I can't find where the Versions backups are being stored.
    Anyway, tonight I cam across a new problem, when I went into "about this Mac" and looked at my Storage, I had almost 1gb of data in the "backups" section. I just happened to have Finder open when I went into the Time Machine in the status bar and when it entered Time Machine, I had dozens of copies of my desktop. Thing is, I don't have my Time Machine hard drive connected and I don't have a Time Capsule router/hard drive. And don't give me this garbage about how "It's not real backups, it's just a snapshot" or whatever, because the ONLY things that I have stored on my computer that I have altered since I got mountain lion is two Text Edit files and the Finder Desktop (and yes, I have checked almost all the programs I use, and of the things that Time Machine will open in, those are the only things that have backups listed that I can access) and almost 1gb is being taken up completely needlessly with the computer backing up things onto itself. Obviously these are more than just snapshots and are obviously the real files because after throwing EVERYTHING on my desktop into a file, that file is only 3.8mb in size, so that almost 1GB in backups is coming from SOMEWHERE.
    The solution I aluded to in my first sentence also depends on going into the Terminal to make each individual app stop auto saving Versions, however, since my desktop is being backed up, there's no program to stop Mountain Lion from doing that.
    Can anyone help me figure out how to make it stop backing up? Seriously, almost 1 gb is being totally wasted on a series of desktop items that are 3.8mb in size, one Text Edit file that is 250kb in size, and another text edit file that is 41kb in size. What person in Apple would possibly have thought this endless backing up of files onto the main hard drive would have been a good idea? So in a year if I did nothing but go on the internet, save one picture to one file on my desktop and did nothing else with my computer, would I have 200 gb of desktop backups that the computer saved onto itself? Are you kidding me? OR failing that, can anyone tell me how to find this damned backup file and delete it? I'm not an idiot, I know how to plug in a hard drive or flash drive and backup my information, I don't need my computer to be making hundreds of copies of every single file on my computer that I change slightly onto itself that not only needlessly eats up it's own space, but if the hard drive died, all those "backups" would be gone too because it wrote the backups to itself.
    I am so frustrated by this totally ridiculous and wasteful "feature" they put in, it does nothing but waste hard drive space with it's hundreds of copies of everything you alter slightly. And I am absolutely not starting any video editing projects until I figure out how to turn this off. If around 4mb of total text and desktop backups add up to almost 1gb in a few weeks, what the heck is a video editing project going to end up in with size? Am I the only one completely flustered by this ridiculousness? Is there any point in writing into Apple to complain or are they just going to say "No, we're brilliant, we think this is an amazing feature so you just have to deal iwth it and when your hardd drive fills up, too bad, jerk!"?? Help! Thanks!

    Well as I pointed out in my post, "Sadly, my Text Edit documents are still all there, every single time I opened them and made a small change, there is another copy stretching all the way back to the day I installed Mountain Lion." so if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will concede that it is a good idea. Short of that, no I have been capable of making my own backups since I was 16 years old (16 years ago) I don't need my computer to endlessly do it for me in a way I am completely unable to shut off. That's what I have external hard drives, flash drives, a DVD burner, Drop Box, E-mail (as in emailing copies to myself) and icloud for. If I am doing something and I don't have access to a single one of those options, I don't know why I brought my computer with me in the first place. And I don't see how you can say it's an illusory gain in disk space, hundreds of copies of text documents, garageband files, Final Cut files, Motion Files and basically any program that makes files onto my comptuer that I can myself make incremental changes to, those all need to be stored somehow. Again, if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will agree with you that that is a good thing because IF it only saved for a week, it wouldn't be an issue. Sadly, no matter how many links you post, I still have text edit backups stretching from today back to July 26. They're not going away and I have no reason to beleive any other file I edit is going to go away either since they haven't been. They're all there eating up HD space and this imaginary "week" limit is simply not coming into effect. I hate it and there needs to be a simple way to simply shut it off. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on external drives just for my main hard drive to be filled up with hundreds un useless, undeletable backups of stuff I already have backed up.

  • Problem with multiple copies of Office 2013 in the same account

    This week our company purchased five more copies of Office Home & Business 2013. I followed the steps to redeem online and try to activate it. Now the problem I can't add any more license into this account (it already have 8 licenses
    of office 2013). How many license can register in one account? How can I find out which one is which one? It is a pain to install a copy of office 2013.    Due to this situation I am sure I had made a misktake and used the same key twice...now
    I need to find out which key is reused and try to fix the problem.  Can Microsoft make it easier for us?  Please!!!

    Hello friend,
    I've never heard the limit of the number for one Microsoft Account, there shouldn't be a limit as I know, and One product key should only be able to activate one machine, if you attempt to use it activate a second machine, there should be a prompt.
    It seems you don't have "too many" machines in your organization, you can refer to the below:
    http://www.msoutlook.info/question/537
    We can find the license keys for Office 2013 via a script from Microsoft:
    Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    It only displays the last 5 characters, but in most cases you can tell which key this machine is using.
    You may also need contact Microsoft's phone service when you need activation issue:

    I hope this helps on your scenario.

  • Is there a way to "purge" muliple copies of the same song?

    Hi, I lost my iTunes library after connecting my iPhone (don't know how or why or even if that was the cause). The library had around 20 songs total in it after disconnecting the iPhone - down from several thousand. I did have a few older copies of the Library in different places which were not identical so I imported each of them which resulted in many duplicates or triplicates. I thought I could easily purge - i.e. delete all but the most recent copy but I have not been able to find a way to do this. It would take forever to delete them one at a time. Can anyone please tell me how to accomplish this? Thanks - Dave

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and copes sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Production Variances of semifinished goods in COPA

    Hi,
    We are using Costing based COPA, which is updated at the time of billing.
    The production variances are posted to COPA when the settlement of the production orders are done.
    The production variances if brought within the purview of COPA report (based on sales), the plan vs actuals can be compared. However, in case of actuals, the production variances would appear only to the extent of tha particular product sold (that too, to the extent of qty produced and not qty sold)..
    I have two issues:
    1. Whether system can explode the BOM and bring in the production variances of semi-finished goods into the total production variances, if I drill down only on the Finished product sold. The total actual cost would include the variances of relevant SFG also. Is this possible, if so how?
    2. Whether, by bringing production qty and sales qty, the proportionate prod variances be calculated (total prod var * sales qty / prod qty). This can surely be done by inserting formulae. But is this justified from business point of view?
    Please help me resolving this issue..
    Edited by: Swapvik on Mar 17, 2009 7:11 AM

    Hi Swapvik,
    Issue No.1:
    When you are using only Standard Costing in CO-PC, variances will not get rolled-up to the next level. Only costs get rolled-up. As per your requirement, when you see the report in COPA, when you see the details of FG and you want to see the variances of it's SFG also, this would be possible only if you have activated Material Ledger. If ML is active, variances also get rolled-up along with costs.
    Issue No.2:
    The ultimate purpose of bringing Variances into COPA and making part of them in a report is to consider COGM subject to the variances. Though it is not 100% justified, it gives you the most appropriate analysis compared to where you don't consier the variances at all. If you don't consider variances there, that means, you are considering only COGM and not taking the effect of variances, which will definitely not a correct picture of Profitability.
    Pls revert back for further explanation...

  • Issue with creation of COPA document

    Hi
    Can you please look into the following scenario and provide inputs on the issue
    Single Finished Material Number in SAP for both plant
    Plant 1 (Co Code 1000)u2013 Trading Material
    Plant2 u2013Co Code 2000) Manufactures Material
    Plant 2 manufacture Material and sell it to plant 1 and plant 1 sell it to third party. How can we create the COPA document at the time of billing (OTC) for plant 1
    We do nt want to run the Std Cost Estimate for Plant 1.
    thanks in advance
    kind regards
    sap student

    Hi
    If this scenario is applicable always i.e. Plant 2 will always make and Plant 1 will always sell, then you dont need to release cost estimate in Plant 1
    1. Maintain Price Control V in Plant 1 so that it will accet the Std Price of Plant 2 whenever you do the GR
    2. Create a Costing Key in Ke40 and specify the cost estimate Plant = PLANT 2... DO NOT check the radio button "use line item plant as cost estimate plant)... With this, whenever billing hapens from Plant 1, it will pick the Std cost of Plant 2

  • Impact of Addition of New Value Fields in the existing Op. Concern-COPA

    Hi All,
    Want to know the steps of adding new value fields in the existing operating concern in COPA?
    What is the overall impact of addition of New Value fields in the running Operating Concern?
    How do we test the addition of new value fields?
    Is the addition of New Value fields to the running Operating Concern advisable?
    Your support and advice is highly anticipated and appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    9819528669
    Ohter details are as follows...
    VALUE FIELDS : Defines the Structure of your Costs & Revenues. (Op. Concern 120 Value Fields) 
    1)     The client requires three new value fields to be created. Value fields for :
    -     Other Airport Charges - International
    -     Cargo Commission Cost
    -     Personal Cost (Direct)
    2)     What are the Steps involved in creation of new value fields? The steps are :
    1)     Before creating new value field we need to check whether we can use already existing UNUSED value fields (There are 62 value fields created for the op concern 1000, in production the value fields TBUL1-L7 i.e. to be used (I assume) screen shot1 provided. My predecessor has used value field VV291, VV292, VV380 original description being TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1. I believe he has changed the description in development client and created a transport request ref screen shot 2)
    2)     You can create new value field thru T-Code KEA6 (4-5 characters beginning with VV) u2013 My predecessor has reused the value fields originally created he has not created new one I believe. please provide give your comments)
    3)     Specify whether this field is for Currency or Quantity (currency defined in attribute of op concern and quantity defined by its own field u2013 unit of measure) u2013 My predecessor has configured the three value fields as Currency.
    4)     Describe how the values in this field are aggregated over characteristics. (SUM, LAS, AVG) u2013 My predecessor has aggregated all the three value fields as SUM and they are in Active status.
    5)     After the value field is created you have to add the value field (active status only) to the operating concern by Editing the Data Structure. (I guess this is done in the next step)
    6)     Assign newly created Value fields to the Operating Concern u2013 T-Code KEA0 (In development client the value fields are assigned to the op concern 1000 refer screen shot 3. In the production client also those three value fields exist (does it mean they are assigned? your comments please.) As they have the original description TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1 refer screen shot 4.
    7)     After the Data Structure is defined you need to activate them. (creates plan vs actual database) u2013 Go to the data structure tab and Choose Activate. The status in dev client is Active with correct description but in the production client it is Active with the OLD description. After addition of the value field you need to regenerate the operating concern. T-Code KEA0 u2013 right?
    8)     Condition Types are assigned to Value Fields? Donu2019t know u2013 T-Code KE45 (I think this is NOT required in our case u2013 Please give your comments)
    9)     Define and Assign Valuation Strategy u2013 Cost assigned to Value fields u2013 T-Code KE4U (I think this is also NOT required in our case)
    10)     Define PA Transfer Structure for Settlement u2013 T-Code KEI1 (This step is crucial u2013 I think I have to to include newly created value fields, but am not aware how to do it and what is the connectivity or what happens after this is done)
    Note: My predecessor has created a Transport Request No# KEDK902167 for the value fields created by him.
    3)     Whether my predecessor has performed all the steps for value field creation? How to test it and check that?
    4)     If yes then,  Do I need to perform additional configuration or can I proceed to transport it to Production?
    5)     What is COPA Allocation Structure & PA Transfer Structure? Where and Why It is used?
    6)     What are the different methods of cost and revenue allocations in SAP?
    7)     I have checked the status of the value fields across clients, It is as followsu2026
         Value Field     Value Field For     Description     Development      Quality     Production
    1     VV291     Other Airport Charges International     TBUL3     Exists      DNE     DNE
    2     VV292     Cargo Commission Cost     TBUL4     Exists      DNE     DNE
    3     VV380     Personal Cost u2013 Direct     TBUL1     Exists      DNE     DNE
    #DNE : Does Not Exist (assumed since the description given to value field is not the same as in development client.)

  • Free Goods, Samples in COPA

    Hello Friends,
    I searched quite a bit on FREE GOODS,SAMPLES (Outgoing), and how to handle the same in COPA, there were lots of threads on same, and few good ones. But i had some specific questions on same:
    1) For Free Samples in Billing, its planned to do a sort of zero amount invoice (with some tax postings), hopefully the material cost will then flow to COPA through the VPRS condition type. Is there a way to route the VPRS values of scenarios like FREE GOODS, FREE SAMPLES to different value fields, and not the same value field which is used for Material Costs in the common billing scenarios.
    FREE GOODS are those that are tied to some mail billing item, basically in those scenarios we have normal GOODS as well as FREE GOODS where as in FREE SAMPLES scenario, we just have free samples in the billing item, and nothing else.
    Thanks
    Balla

    Hi
    What you want is not the right way of doing it, but still it is possible in SAP
    Either create a new cond type ZPRS as a copy of VPRS and use it in the Case of Samples... This means your Pricing Procedure needs to be changed in SD
    ANother option is to use a Separate Bill Type in SD and use exit COPA0002 to move the Value from Normal Val Field to another in the case of Samples

  • Photosmart C4580 "stuck" printing about 20 copies of each when I only asked for 1!

    Hi,
    I am baffled and I need to fix this problem soon!  I need my printer.  All of a sudden, my printer started printing about 20 copies of each item when I only asked for one!  This not only uses a lot of ink, but wastes a ton of time, for the little of time I have put up with it.  Lately, I have just shut it off.  Please - any suggestions??  I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I can't find my disk!  Thank you,  Soly

    Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have no problem printing the business cards out on a Canon printer, or a different HP printer I used to have, but the D110 is nothing but a pain in the you know what !  I'm using publisher and the avery 8371 card stock,  I searched solutions for days and did everything possible but still they're not printing correctly!! I'm dissapointed in this printer, every time I have a problem with something it always seems to be an HP product!!!  Very frustrating because I never had to mess with any settings in the other printers I had, I would just put the file in, change the quality and click the print button with no problems. I'm ready to throw this printer out the window Anyway thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me with this issue !!! 

  • Can not find virtual copies in Windows folder.

    I can not remember to have encountered this before, so here I go: I just created a virtual copy of some photos from my summer holiday, and all works well. But when I needed to access these photos going the Windows' way (Windows/My Pictures that is), the virtual copies do not appear in my YYYYMM folder. Going back to LR though, they will appear there with a /Copy 1 extension. RIghtclicking the VC, then "Show in Explorer" will highlight the original in the folder, the VC still not being there. Part of the frustration is that I can not remember this happening before (or maybe it has), so I'm wondering if I by accident have changed any settings.
    Running LR 4.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks in advance.

    So you have 1 master (an actual raw) and 10 VC’s. What happens to the VC’s if the master gets corrupted?
    If your master has say Adobe Standard as the DNG Profile but the VC has a custom DNG profile, what happens to the VC if that profie goes missing or gets corrupted? Try it.
    If by "master", you mean the Raw file on disk, then if that is corrupted (something I have never yet experienced IIRC; although I still backup against this possibility) then certainly, all images derived from that will suffer. However adding VCs does not increase the absolute risk of that. The way I was using "master", was to refer to the one LR metadata set which, unlike a VC metadata set, currently asserts a functional link to the source file. If that LR metadata set were to get corrupted, (something I have never yet experienced either IIRC, although I still backup against that possibility too) then I might be glad of a VC which I could immediately promote to that role and status instead.
    Certainly bad things may happen to a VC if a required external file is lost or changed - but these are exactly the same bad things, as if the exact same events had happened for the "master" version alongside. I do take the point that there is protection in redundancy - no question - and also that instantly written-out metadata is a useful separate backup of one's work (as I mentioned, I'd be glad if VCs could get the same thing too somehow, someday).
    One-to-many dependency on a single source file can make some good things happen too,though, which may be judged worth any potential added risks. Say deliberate changes are newly made to a Photoshop edit on which several LR image versions are based. These updates will ripple through all virtual versions automatically; whereas if these versions had instead been fully independent, the same changes would need to be made repeatedly to get the same result; assuming one wants all these versions to reflect the changes; which is (should be; needs to be) the realistic expectation, when one has opted to use a cluster of VCs in the first place.
