Corrupted characters when synchronizing cost centers between clients

Hi experts,
I use message type COSMAS to synchronize cost centers from FI client t to HR client, but I encountered problems: all Chinese characters in FI client change to # character in HR client after synchronization using program RBDMIDOC.
Can you tell me what is the problem?
Thanks a lot,
shaoming

Check the RFC destination settings in FI client which is pointing towards HR client.
'Unicode' option should be enabled.

Corrupted characters when importing PDFS to combined PDF

When I import PDFS they are showing up in the combined PDF with corrupted characters. What's up?

You probably nailed it on the head. The fonts in the separate PDFs have issues already. So when you attempt to combine them Acrobat tries to save and ... Voila! Garbage characters. You might be able to test this by exporting the separate PDF files to MS Word documents. My guess is that you will get garbage characters on the same pages as you would when you combined the PDF files.

Corrupted characters when combining pdfs

I am trying to combine a set of files into one pdf document. Each pdf file was created from Microsoft word and they all display perfectly as single files.
However when I combine all the pdfs into one document a lot of the text becomes corrupted and displays as square boxes instead of the correct characters.
Can anybody help please?
Thanks
Steve

I am not sure Preflight is part of Standard. If it is, you will find it under the Advanced menu. However, it appears that the embed fonts is not one of the profiles for AA8. AA9 has an embed fonts profile. If you have all of the original files available, the fastest approach might be to go back to the original files and recreate the PDFs, selecting the Press or Print job options. For combining, you may have to change the job options to not embed subsets. Sometimes the use of subsets causes problems when combining. Before you waste time on a whole set of files, I would suggest you play with 1 or 2 to see if things work out. I hope this process resolves your issues. Basically, all I am suggesting is what I would try to make it work. You can also use ctrl-D in Acrobat to get the document properties and check the font embedding under the font tab. If it does not say embedded, then it is not embedded.

Oracle returns redicrect when there is NAT between client and server

I have Oracle 8i on Linux sitting behind a firewall/NAT. I have two Apache webservers that run both Tomcat and WebLogic webapps, also behind the NAT. One of them is on the same machine as the Oracle server. Those all connect just fine. I recently had to load a JBoss/Tomcat webapp (no Apache) outside the NAT which needs to talk to the Oracle server. It's using a JDBC driver, I believe calling on this class: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. The configured URL is "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:qlink". Using ethereal (A GUI frontend to the packet sniffer tcpdump, which understands the TNS protocol) showed me that this is the connection request being made: "(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=qlink)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=__jdbc__)(USER=oracle)))
(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))))". I notice it uses SID, where it seems everything else I've analyzed with Ethereal is using SERVICE_NAME. I was first trying to pipe the data through an SSH tunnel. This technique works with all of Oracle's tools that I have tried it with, and with TOAD. I can connect to this Oracle server with the DBA Studio and sqlplus, over an ssh tunnel. But as soon as this JBoss/Tomcat webapp tries, Oracle returns a REDIRECT message. There are two things that strike me as odd: The REDIRECT message returns the hostname of the Oracle server and a nonstandard port; and the JBoss/Tomcat webapp doesn't seem to do anything about it. I has assumed the TNSLSNR forwarded data between 1521 and the appropirate port for requested databse. The port is the same every time, so I made sure that the hostname/port returned was reachable from the client side. But like I said, the client seemed to just ignore it and hang. Getting desparate, I then tried to open up the Oracle ports on the NAT, and use ipchains to restrict what IPs could connect to it, that yielded the same results. I've seen this webapp work with Oracle running on the same machine, both configured identically. (Running Oracle behind the NAT and using SSH tunnels gives the same configuration for JBoss/Tomcat as if I was running Oracle on the same machine)

I'm pretty uninitiated with Oracle. I don't know how to verify/disprove your guess about the shared server dispatcher, or even what it means. Should I try to pursue the observation that the JDBC client specifies a SID to connect to and everything else specifies a SERVICE_NAME, or is that of little consequence? I'm not sure how to interpret the output from 'lsnrctl serv'. Here's the chunk pertaining to the database in question:
qlink has 3 service handler(s)
DISPATCHER established:120 refused:0 current:120 max:254 state:ready
D000 <machine: sark.unboundtech.com, pid: 15801>
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sark.unboundtech.com)(PORT=41714))
qlink has 3 service handler(s)
DEDICATED SERVER established:46 refused:0
LOCAL SERVER
DISPATCHER established:0 refused:0 current:0 max:254 state:ready
D001 <machine: sark.unboundtech.com, pid: 15803>
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sark.unboundtech.com)(PORT=41716))(PRESENTATION=oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer)(SESSION=RAW))
Presentation: oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer
The (ADDRESS=...) is what is returned in the redirect. I created the database with dbassist using the default setup type. I'll have a look at listener.log (the name/location of a log file is actually a question I had but forgot to ask, so thanks), I don't know how to check trace output. The webserver is able to resolve the hostname being returned, and knows how to route to it.
Localhost is the correct entry. If you've never used SSH tunnels here's a quick rundown. You can tell most SSH clients to listen on an arbitraty port on your machine, and forward data to a remote IP/port from the other side. So from the webserver, I would say to forward localhost:1521 to localhost:1521 on the oracle server. So for sqlplus, for example, I setup tnsnames.ora to route connections to a particular SERVICE_NAME to localhost:1521, which is forwarded through my SSH connection, to localhost:1521 on the Oracle server. This lets gains me two things, all connections look like localhost, making my firewall rules simpler, and I get encryption through SSH (I know Oracle can do encrypted connections, but some clients might not support it, and I don't know how to set it up yet.) I am able to connect to the database over an SSH tunnel using sqlplus, from the webserver (since I ended up installing Oracle on it), so I know the connection is possible.
After reading that, you might wonder if the hostname:port returned in the redirect were accessible from the web server. They weren't at first, but opening port 1521 and 41714 for sark.unboundtech.com at the NAT, and firewalling requests from IPs other than the webserver, then giving the JDBC config sark.unboundtech.com instead of localhost with an SSH tunnell yielded identical behavior. After recieving the REDIRECT, the JDBC code doesn't seem to do anything except hang, nothing is sent to the location given in the REDIRECT response.

Transferring the cost centers from ECC to Sourcing

Hello Experts
I have a requirement to synchronize cost centers between ECC and Sourcing systems . . The approach I am thinking is-
     Schedule a import job in sap sourcing which will be pointed to FTP and can import data.
     ECC will trigger the XML data from for any change / creation of cost centers .
     This data will come to FTP and from there this would be imported by Sourcing .
Can anyone let me know if there is any particular XML format for Cost centers for importing to Sourcing ?
Thanks
Sudipta

Hi Sudipta,
If Cost Center data extracted from ECC is rendered in CSV format, then XML file may not be required for the import job.
The CSV file format should be available in the Enterprise/Company workbook.

STATISTICAL POSTINGS repost between cost centers

STATISTICAL POSTINGS repost between cost centers.
I try to repost statistical postings in a cost center with KB11N tr., but I can´t because the original cost center (sender) still have the statistical postings and the receiver cost center will have the reposted amount like real posting intead of statistical posting.
When I run the KB11N I fill with the cost element (the same), the sender and receiver cost centers and the original order but I can´t repost like statistical posting in the receiver cost center.
There is another transaction to respost statistical postings between cost centers?
B.Regards
Francisco

Hi Ajay,
This is the first thing that I try when I run FK11N tr.
Real Cost Ctr (43424) , Statistical Order (4024332) and primary cost element (307015) --> I have statistical postings to repost
What I want is :
Real Cost Ctr (43398) , Statistical Order (4024332) and primary cost element (307015) must be the same--> I need the statis. post.
*If I run KB11N , only with the sender, (43424), and receiver, (43398), cost centers I will have:
1. In the original (sender) cost center ,43424, I still have the statistical postings
2. In the Receiver cost center as 43398--> I will have the statistical posting for reposting like real posting intead of statistical postings.
This is because I try also with the original order the tr. KB11N and the reason of this message.

Difference between SKFs for Cost Centers and Profit Centers

Dear All,
Three cost centers A,B and C have two profit centers say X and Y assigned. When we run SKFs report for Cost Centers - S_ALR_87013645 total for all the Cost centers is say 30 (81210). When I run the report S_ALR_87013342 for Profit Centers SKF break down total is 30. However break up is not matching. Cost Center A and B have Profit Center X and C has Profit Center Y. Ideally in PCs break down for SKFs must be X = 20 and Y=10. However this is not the case. Total is tallying but the break up is not tallying. Y has total of say 25.
Cost Center C has profit center assignment changed in the middle of the year. Is the difference because of changing the PC assignment to CC in the middle of the year/in between? Do we need to adjust the SKF numbers for incorrect PCs in 9KE5?
Is there any other way to correct the difference instead of posting in 9KE5? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Satya

Report for cost centers when using MVT 261

Guru's,
Most of the request for material for our storerooms are done through a work order and issued out using MVT 261. We're trying to find a report that shows the cost centers used when using MVT 261. I've tried using MB51 and MVT 261 but no cost centers populate. When I use MB51 and MVT 201 for reservations created manually there's no problem, all cost centers are populated.
Thanks
Eric

Hi,
The movement 261 is for Issue to Order & no issue to Cost Center, hence you have the problem.
You will get only the order number is case of 261.

I don't choose the cost centers when I enter a vendor invoice...

Hı friend!
when I enter a vendor invoice,I don't choose the cost centers that I have created before...
the cursor in cost center field,I press the F4 button and a window opening for cost center,and I have double clicked on the cost center what I want,nothing is coming...
Thank you for interest...

Hi
Directly enter the cost center while posting the invoice, if you have already created the cost center
and
also check whether the company code is assigned to that particular cost center related controlling area.

How to find the list of cost centers reporting to a particular employee

Hi Experts,
I have to create one report in Java Web Dynpro. In the report, I have to display all cost centers reporting to a paricular employee. For example suppose Vice President of company has pernr 6481. From pa20, we quickly find out that his cost center is say 1209000. Now the Vice President has several reporting cost centers. For example one cost center will be for Marketing Deptt, other may be of HR deptt.
Please let me know how I can find out that what all cost centers are reporting to pernr 6481(Vice Preseident)
Regards,
Gary

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for email. In my project name has been maintained in CSKS-VERAK. However this name does not matches exactly with the name of pa20 (HR). It looks like SAP has not provided data integrity between HR name and CSKS-VERAK. It seems that while creating cost center, the user enters name in his own way. For example "Al-Fahad Malki" can be written in "Malki Fahad-Al" or "Malki Fahad" or "Al-Malki Fahad". The name of user in pa20 may be "Al-Fahad M". So it is not possible for us to use solution provided by you.
Hi Pradeep, SDN Users,
I have used following logic for getting cost centers for given pernr.
1)     Take pernr as input. Exexute RFC HRWPC_RFC_OADP_GET_NAVOBJECTS. While executing RFC pass following values:
a.     OBJSEL - MSS_TMV_EE_ORG1
b.     Begda u2013 Today date
c.     Ends u2013 Today date
d.     User u2013 pernr
e.     Cachemaxage - -1
2)     Then program should read the value of OBJID from HRWPC_RFC_OADP_GET_NAVOBJECTS output.
3)     After this program should read value from HRP1001 for following condition
PLVAR = 01
OBJID = OBJID of step 2
RELAT = u2018011u2019 and
RSIGN = u2018Au2019 and
(check todayu2019s date is >= begda and <= endda ) and
SCLAS = u2018Ku2019 u2026 and
SOBJID = first 10 charactersu2026
The cost center will be first 10 characters of SOBJID.
4)     Return the Cost Center as derived in step 3. The cost center name and cost center name both should be returned as the output.
5)     Sort the Cost Centers in ascending order of Cost Center name, if needed.
Regards,
Gary

WBS Elements and Asset Under Constructions have different Cost Centers

Hello Experts,
We have created a WBS element in one of the projects.
As per standard process, when we create the WBS Element the Asset under construction is also getting created through the settlement rule within the WBS.
These assets should have the same Cost Center as the WBS has. However we are in a situation wherein the Cost Center in the asset under construction is different than the Cost Center in the WBS.
I have checked the settings like automatic account assignment, etc but all settings look correct.
Can you please explain first what could be the reason for such a difference between Cost Centers in WBS and AuC's and what is the solution to avoid it in future?
Thanks in advance
Leena

Thanks for your replies...
@ Alex - There is no Investment Programme ID maintained for this WBS in question since there is no IM for this project.
@ Abdul - Please elaborate more on Validation and Substitution.

Leena.

Usage of Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Internal Orders

Hello everyone,
i have perhaps for some of you a simple question but it bothers me alot.
Imagine we are using Cost centers and Internal Orders. For them we create statistical key figures using transaction KB31N.
Now we are installing SAP BI and want to create a report which would be generated acording to cost centers but with statistical key figures.
The question would be how to make a connection between cost centers orders and those stat.key.figs?
In our case the economists say that we are using this kind of scenario:
Dist.chanel ->
Sender: Cost center, Cost element
Receiver: Int.Order
and Stat key fig.
This is the only place where we have a connection between thos objects. Is there other way how to connect them. perhaps using profit centers?
If somebody didnt understand it, maybe ill try to explain it a bit better

Laurynas Prikockis

Hi Laurynas,
Pls try to understand the concept as explained hereunder...
Cost Element:
Primary Cost Element : Replication of GL to bring costs into CO module when they are posted in FI
                                   module
Secondary Cost Elements: Carriers of costs between two Cost Objects (when we want to transfer the
                                        cost from Cost Centers to Internal Orders, vice versa and more, we create
                                        Secondary Cost Elements to carry the costs and transfer them to the
                                        reciever objects from sender objects)
Cost Center: It is a Cost Object, maintained on long-term basis, where we can capture the costs (Ex:
                    Marketing Cost Center)
Internal Order: It is also a Cost Object, maintained on shor-term basis, where we can capture the costs
                     (Ex: Internal Order for Special Marketing Campaign). Ultimately, whatever the costs
                      posted to this Internal Order, will get settled to Marketing Cost Center.
Staitistical Key Figure: It is used as a basis for allocation of certain expenses (Simple example would
                                  be, Total rent paid for office is $100000 per month. This cost has to go to
                                  different Cost Centers like Finance and Accounts, Marketing, Purchase Dept
                                  etc on the basis of "Area Occupied". So, We will define "Area Occupied" as a
                                  Statistical Key Figure in our system.
                                 Now, when the Rent amount is posted in FI, it wil reach a Virtual Cost Center
                                 (An "Allocation Cost Center" with name "Rent" to be created under your
                                 Controlling Area) "Rent". From there, it has to reach the other Cost Centers (lie
                                 F&A etc as explained above) on the basis of Area Occupied (SKF Created
                                 for "area occupied")
For this, you need enter the Area Occupied values (Ex:Sq Ft) in KB31N and you need to create an Allocation Cycle (Distribution / Assessment) where in you will select "Area Occupied" (SKF) as your Receiver Tracing Factor.
I hope I am clear, don't hesitate to revert back for more explanation...

Validation for Cost center for Goods issue against the cost centers

Dear Friends
In my client place we have 6 plants are defined and profit centers are defined for each plant. Hence here each plant is one profit center. Cost centers are defined plant wise.
The requirement is when the goods issued to cost center system should check the cost center is defined against the plant. ( i.e., Cost center def against the Profit Center, and Profit center equal to Plant).
Is there any provision to assign the plant to profit center or vice versa?
Please guide me how to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please check EC01. May be it can help you. But in my view it is not possible.

In OKC7 you can define validations to check the relationship in CO and FI postings. You can use exit RGGBR001 for custom code. You could set this relationship up in a table and then check that.
pts appreciated.
