Creating only one or several invoice smartforms for a global company

Hi,
I'd like to hear your thoughts how smartform development should be arranged for a global company. Let's take an invoice as an example.
A global company has several divisions, company codes, plants and sales organizations. Invoices are printed in different languages in several countries.
Of course it would be better to build exactly one smartform for everything, but on the other hand, the smartform would be extreme complex and difficult to maintain in future, since each company has slightly different requirements for the invoice. On the other hand, it doesn't make any sense to just keep on creating a new smartform for each country, since at the end you will have tens of almost identical smartforms which doesn't sound good either.
What is your experience--should one try to build exactly one smartform for all the company codes, or would it be better to create a new smartform for each company code? In general, I would say that the latter one is perhaps a better approach.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Jarmo Tuominen

My first thought was that it is better to maintain only one form for everything.
However, I am aware that there are also opposite opinions. They explain that creating one form for everything is not the best approach. Because of this, I would like to understand the reasons for that. Do others have any other point of views?

Only one time Froforma Invoice

Hi All,
Is there is any check for Froforma Invoice that should come only one time ...when they will creat the forforma invoice the system should give a error massage that " the Proforma Invoice is already created" and that is error massage ...
Thanks in advance ....
Regards,
Abhijit

Hi Samier,
Actually the requirement is they will allow the user to take only one time Proforma invoice ...But in SAP standard u can take save the Froforma invoice as many times as the user want ...In item category the completion rule will not work ....because i want to check the delivery document should be refence for two times once for F2 and again for F8.As if we want to creat the billing doc for 2 time the system shows this billing has already been done ...that is also applicable for F8....

Instead of creating multiple Instances I want to create only one Instance.

Hi Everyone
Good morning, How are you.
I have a requirement to transfer files from one location to another location, I am able to do this successfully using FTP Adapters.
I have some Issues please help any one.
1) When I deployed my process it is creating one instance for one file transfer, Suppose If I have 50 files in my Get
directory, After deploy the process 50 instances are creating and 50 Email generating saying files are not tranfered successfully.
Instead of creating 50 Instances I want to create only one Instance.
2) When files are not transferd it will fire error mail saying that not success (I want to display all file names(not tranfered files) in my mail , i.e whatever files are not tranfered, need to diplay in mail).
3) And I am not able to transfer 0 size files, But in BPEL Console Instance is creating for 0 size file also and I am getting Email for success... and In put directory 0 size file is not showing. (Instance is creating and Success Email coming but file is not exists in Put directory)
Please help me.
Regards
Venkat

Allow only one set of parameter values for all worksheets

I would like to " Allow only one set of parameter values for all worksheets ", but prompt before executing the worksheet. This function is a great time saver, but the users on occasion would like to change at the least one of the parameters. Is this possible? What setting do I use? I've tried various combinations of the " After opening a workbook: " on the options page. " Run query automatically", " Don't run query (leave sheet empty) ", and " Ask for comformation ". I would have thought that "Ask for comformation " was the trick, but no. I'm considering putting a do nothing parameter that has the setting of " Allow different parameter values for each worksheet. " so that it will keep all the others, default this one, but prompt for a possible change.
Any thoughts...
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie
Even though you have the same parameter for all worksheets a user can still choose what to use on a worksheet. Its just that if they click to another worksheet then that parameter will be applied.
Which version of Discoverer are you using?

In partial delivery, what does it mean by Create only one delivery (also with qty = 0)?

Hi Expert,
I would like to ask
"Create only one delivery (also with qty = 0)"
It is mentioned in Partial Delivery
The following partial delivery agreements exist:
A Create a delivery with qty greater than zero
B Create only one delivery (also with qty = 0)
C Only complete delivery allowed
D No limit to subsequent deliveries
Please provide example together.
Many thanks.
Rgds,
Ong

Dear Lit Yit Ong
The use of B is Creating only one delivery (also with quantity = 0) Same like as indicator A, only the difference is we can create a delivery with zero qty also.

System should create only one Inspection Lot

Hi,
My client has following requirement.
I have ten Line item in Po, after MIGO system generate one GRIN no and 10 inspection lot for every line item but my client need only one inspection lot no. having 10 line items in thatu2026 how to do this.
Regards.
Arun

Sorry. In SAP incoming inspection are driven by the material numbers.
If QM is on for the material, you will get an inspection lot. If you have ten different materials in a Purchase order and all ten require inspection then you will get ten inspection lots.
That is the way it is.
You could use a user exit to determine if an inspection lot for the PO has been created for the purchase order already and suppress the creation of any additional ones if you want. But the one created will be for the first material in the purchase order, not the receipt itself.

How to give only one function module execution Auth for a User ?

Dear Experts
I have reviewed S_DEVELOP auth object. It is not ful filling my requirement
Any Ideas !!
Rgds

Rakesh...Firstly thanks for reply.
As i said i reviewed these and found it is not meeting my requirement.
As we aware We can control auth to Function modules thru object type
Filed OBJTYPE----
FUGR --> 1st control
and with Function Group Name
Field OBJNAME----
<Function Group Name> --> 2nd control
In my scenario - I have given the authroizations as below
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ACTVT            Activity                                                 Display, Execute
DEVCLAS       Package                                               *
OBJNAME      Object name                                         ZECC_FG
OBJTYPE       Object type                                           FUGR
P_GROUP       Authorization group ABAP/4 pro              *
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The above authroization is giving all Function modules authrozation under ZECC_FG Function Group.
My Requirement
I shoudl be able to give only one Function Module of a Function group where multiple function modules exist under the same Function Group.
How can i acheiveit. Any Custom Control can be place to acheive this.
I am sure S_DEVELOP will not solve my requirement (I Beleive)

I need a gaming keyboard for my mac but the only ones I can find are for Windows, there is no Command button or FN button. Any suggestions?

So, I have an OS X 10.7.5 and I want to get a gaming keyboard, but the only good ones I can find are for windows. I know because they have the Windows home key button, and no FN button or Command button. Any suggestions?

Normally, most Windows-compatible keyboards are also compatible with Mac OS X. If I'm not mistaken, the Windows key (the key with the Windows icon) is the command key. Also, if you do need to use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys (you would normally hold FN and then press the button), you can set them to standard function keys in System Preferences. There may be some good gaming keyboards on the market that use the Mac layout, but most may use a Windows keyboard. Personally, I prefer the Mac keyboard on my Macbook. I hope this helps!

Duplicate data in only one sheet in a smartform

Hi:
I have data to display in a smartform. The first half of the sheet have exactly the same of the second one. Do I have to program both sides, or there's any way to duplicate the information with only the first half of the sheet.
Any clue will be great.
Thanks.

Keep this in main widow and create one more main window in the layout,i.e. you will be having two main window with same data.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one. How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up dod not go through, then I set up again and ended up with two wireless accounts. I use it for the prointer and the iPad, and I can see both accounts in the iPad. How do I get rid of one account? Thanks for the help!

me.com accounts can be used for iCloud. See the FAQ section in:

but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

How to send only one (of several) attachment from a receiver email adapter?

Hi all,
I have been working with the SAP XI email adapter for some time and now I encountered the following challenge:
I am receiving a message via email from a partner, call some modules which lead to the generation of 5 attachments in total for the incoming message.
I then map the MainDocument to a CONTRL message and return it to the sender using the dynamic parameters of both the sender and the receiver email cc.
I am filling these parameters inside the message mapping; so far I am not using the mailpackage xsd (the only things out of the ordinary are checked boxes for "use adapter specific parameters", "variable transport" and "keep attachments").
My problem is that the email receiver cc now generates an email with 5 attachments when I need it to add only the CONTRL (aka MainDocument) as attachment to this email.
Do you know if there is a way to tell the receiver cc to only use one attachment (or to remove attachments from the original message, f.ex. inside the message mapping)?
Thanks and cheers!
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
>>>>Do you know if there is a way to tell the receiver cc to only use one attachment (or to remove attachments from the original message, f.ex. inside the message mapping)?
1. It cannot be done in a mapping
2. have a look at mz blog
how simple it is to write an adapter that will do what you need

TDMS File Creates Multiple Tabs of Data. Want to create only one.

Hello NI Community,
I am currently using the DAQ Assistant with my string pots to record displacement over a long interval of time (see attached VI). I am then using the "Write To Measurement File" vi to save the data into a TDMS file (see the "Write to File Settings" picture attached for all settings chosen for file write). The file is being written, however when I open the TDMS file, the document creates a tab in Excel for every second of data recorded (please see the attached "). It looks like the TDMS file is grouping all the data from each second together and then creating a new group of data.
How do I get the file to write all the data onto a single tab instead of creating multiple? I do not want to have to concatenate hundreds of tabs into a single excel sheet.
Thanks,
Chris

RMAN: create only one copy of controlfile backup

OS: AIX 5.3L and Oracle 10g R2
When I run my RMAN backup, if I have configure controlfile autobackup ON and run a rman script with full db backup, the rman always generates two copies of controlfile backup at the same location. My Q are
1. how can I just generate one copy?
2. if it generates 2 copies, can I have one copy at one lolcation and second copy at other loaction?
I once entered the "CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/remote/solar/flash_recovery/baan_standby/cf_%F'; ", it will alter my default location again, thenstill produced 2 copies at the same location.

I cannot get Firefox to run now. I backed up my Profile to another drive. Cannot create a new one as Firefox will not run. It says there is another copy running. However, I have deleted all Firefox and Mozilla files and downloaded new. When I try to run it, I get the message to close Firefox as two cannot run at once.
I did create a new Mac account logon and can run Firefox there, so something in the other account is showing Firefox is running.
I also checked in ACTIVITY MONITOR and in SETUP and there is no Firefox or Mozilla running.
So, where can this bug be hiding????
