Apple Customer Service and warranty exceptions

Hello all,
Whilst I love my Apple hardware and software, and have had many good experiences with them over the years, unfortunately I post today with a complaint about what I perceive to be poor customer service and product quality.
In late March/early April of 2006, I purchased a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro with great anticipation- Intel inside, Tiger OS, inbuilt webcam, and general awesomeness all round. I also purchased the 3 year AppleCare warranty, which was to be a godsend as during the following three years I would experience:
*The replacement of the battery under the original MacBook Pro battery exchange program
*The left fan on the unit dying in 2007
*The logic board itself dying in late Feb/Early March 2008, thus bricking my laptop
*Another battery replacement as the replacement for the original died before it (realistically) should have (Apple very nicely made an exception to the battery's 1 year technical warranty and replaced it for me).
Fair enough, it's a new unit and was bound to have some problems. Unfortunately, last week the logic board died AGAIN; a mere 18 months after it was replaced in 2008. The unit is out of AppleCare warranty by 5 months or so, but I was urged by forumites and friends to call Apple, who would surely make an exception for me and pay for the replacement part, given my service history with the laptop and Apple's reputation for excellent customer service.
Unfortunately, this has proved to not be the case. Calling customer service at Apple Australia I talked to Steven, who was firm to the point of rudeness when he stated that my laptop was out of warranty and Apple would cover nothing but the labour charges involved, as a "guesture of good will". When stretched, he offered me a $125 voucher if I wanted to purchase anything over $400 in the Apple store, and stressed he didn't have to do this but the company was attempting to provide good service to its customer.
Despite my argument that I forked out over $3000 for this laptop a mere three years ago and am now looking at over $1000 to repair something replaced only 18 months ago, his line was that Apple provided a warranty and that was simply that (apart from a month or two grace). Five months is apparently "far outside the warranty period".
I received no challenge to my assertion that after buying something which cost over $3000, it was reasonable for Apple to expect a consumer to pay an extra $1000 every year after the warranty finishes to replace a broken logic board. In truth, I find this near incomprehensible, considering one can buy the supposedly inferior build quality of a Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc and see it last not just beyond the warranty but another two or three years before it finally suffers something terminal.
While from a warranty perspective Apple are well and truly within their rights to refuse to pay for the part, at the end of the day I am left to pay $1000+ for a repair for something which may only last another 12 months, plus $3500+ for a new Macbook Pro with AppleCare if I want a replacement- minus of course the $125 they are offering.
I did some reading of the ACCC's website about my statutory rights and the Trade Practices act, and I note the following with interest:
*Statutory conditions (goods)*
The Trade Practices Act implies the following statutory conditions into consumer contracts:
* The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
* The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
* The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from. For example, any carpet laid must be the same quality and colour as the sample you chose from.
* You must receive clear title to the goods, including goods bought at auction. In other words, you can expect to own the goods outright and any restriction on ownership should be explained to you beforehand.
While I don't particularly want to make a big deal of things, I hardly see $3000+ for three years use and $1000 each year thereafter to be merchantible quality or fit-for-purpose! This is supposed to be a high end laptop with excellent build quality, and yet I've a secondhand iBook that has been chugging for longer without issue than this machine!
I told Steven from Customer Service that his offer didn't satisfy me in the slightest, and still put me in an awkward position with regards to repair and repurchase. He simply wouldn't budge, and refused to see things from my point of view (which another operator, Anu, was able to do and thus produce a much better response from myself). I have since asked to speak to his manager which- after initial resistance- I have been able to secure a future callback from. I have no idea how well discussions with he/she will go.
What I'd like to hear from you guys and girls is your experience with similar situations, and whether you think I've a leg to stand on with regards my replacement request or the ACCC stuff above. Again, I love my Apple products but I hardly think asking them to replace the part while I pay for labour is a big ask, given the service history and my desire to continue buying and using their products.
Love to hear your points of view on this one; thanks for taking the time to read it!
Cheers,
Dave.

Dear meacod
I have live the same, except that I Cure my MBP before it goes to die.
A lot of older participants here just talk about Aplle care, which seem the automatic thing in front of a lack of real good quality on Apple products .
But I think we pay the price, and my second hand MBP was much more expensive than a brand new PC with more ram, more Hard disk, and even a blue ray...
I don't know your mbp history, but that's sure that we are not equal, in world, with Apple customer support. France is not so great, I don't know for your country.
The only thing I think is that Apple should take care of us, as we have some unacceptable issues, for An Apple Product...
Since 1996, when Apple was almost dead, saved by Bill Gates investment !!! , I have every year promote it, and it was not easy, but I have bring to Apple between 3 to 10 customers each year..
since One year, I have stop that, because I don't believe anymore in Apple product's superiority .
Oh, yes, on the paper, it's better, the system is really good. But the overall experiment can be so bad that I don't want to loose friends, or customers...
I don't say it's always bad : I just say that it CAN BE SO BAD and that Apple DON'T take care of that...
so, for your computer, open it, check it a lot, may be it's too late, but for instance, you talked about a fan, I have solved that case just by putting oil on the fan's axe...
good luck

Free Goods Import Process with Customs, Freight, and Other Taxes.

hi,
I have to import free goods but have to pay for Customs, Freight, and other Taxes.
1. If I tick Free Goods Indicator in PO Line Item, Condition Tab at line item disappears. It will not to calculate other conditions at Header level also. - So I cant execute this option.
2. If i take price of material and insert Condition Type: R001:Discount/Quantity with material price/qty, then it gives Error Message - "Price Must be greater than 0".
So, Is there any way through which I can procure Free Goods and can maintain conditions for Customs, Freight, and other Taxes in Purchase Order.
Please help me in this regard.
- Jignesh

Hi,
1) Create an import PO in ME21N with material price and all custom duty conditions (as you normally create). no need to put free tick indicator.
2) Process MIRO for goods and delivery costs simultaneously.
3) Maintain zero amount for goods item and actual values for the duties (Ensure selection of goods item including delivery cost items)
4) Save the LIV document
5) Check PO item history got updated with IR-L and DCIn. (IR-L will updated with zero amount)
6) Do MIGO w.r.t. IR document number.
7) GR FI document will get updated with the non-set off duty values only.

Diff b/w "Customer exits" and "User-exit"

Hi,
What is the difference b/w customer exits and user-exit and also please explain me what are the various types of customer and user-exits.
Thanks in advance.
Ramana

Hi,
Types of Exits
There are several different types of customer exits. Each of these exits acts as hooks where you can attach or "hang" your own add-ons.
Menu Exits
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu items text when activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screens flow logic.
Function Module Exits
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits. When you add a new menu item to a standard pulldown menu, you use a function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated. Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields.
SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into the source code of standard R/3 programs. These calls have the following syntax: CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION 001.
<b>User exits:</b>
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/abap/abap-code-samples/userexits%20in%20a%20transaction.doc
In order to find out the user exits for any tcode,
1. get the developement class of the tcode from SE93.
2. Now goto transaction SMOD and press F4,
3. give in the Deve class in the dev class and Press ENTER
this will show u the exits for any tcode.
or execute this report
http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/code/abap26.htm
which gives the list of exits for a tcode

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CLIENT SUPPORT OF ANY COMPUTER COMPANY EVER

i bought the new thinkpad and recd the end of dec 2012. I recoomended it to many in my company and am sorry they all started buying them. We all got the ultra book think pads. My was core 17-quite expensive/4333 SERIES. I bought iT with the warranty. NOTE- WHEN YOU BUY THE THINK PAD - YOU NEED THE EXTRA WARANTY NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT -PRO WARRANTY.THE WARANTY YOU GET FOR 3 YEARS IS BOGUS.
i USED MY THINK PAD LIGHTLY AND ALWAYS TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. I PREPARED FOR 6 MONTHS A PROJECT AND HAD IT SAVED TO MY HARD DRIVE BUT NO COPIES. THE MACHINE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. I PANICKED AS THE INFO WAS NEEDED FOR A MAJOR PRESENTATION I AM MAKING NEXT WEEK.
i CALLED LENOVA IMMEDIATELY AND THEY FGAVE ME 5 PHONE NUMBERS SO I CAN BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT SERVICED. IT WAS UNDER WARANTY UNTIL 2015.
ALL 5 PLACES THEY GAVE DO NOT FIX THE COMPUTERS. I CALLED LENOVO BACK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT EVEN FIND A DEALER THAT COULD FIX THE MACHINE. I SENT IT TO THEM ON THE 25TH. ON THE 27TH I USED MY CASE NUMBER AND FOUND IT WAS IN REPAIR. I CALLED ON THE 27,28,29,30,1,2,3, I SPOKE TO EVERY DEPARTEMT AND COLLECTIVELY SPENT 30 HOURS OF TIME(YES I WAS HING UP ON, SENT TO WORNG DPARTMENTS, PLACED ON HOLD FOREVER) TRYING TO TRACK MY COMPUTER AND THE PROBLEM. EVERY PERSON SAYS "I AM SORRY, I UNDERSTAND , ETC. THEY DO NOT. I NEEDED TO EITHER RETRIEVE THE INFO FROM THE HARDRIVE OR HAVE IT REPAIRED BEFORE I LEAVE FOR EUROPE IN 2 DAYS FOR A POWER POINT PRESENTATON THAT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO PREPARE AND NO BACK UP. FINALLY I WAS TOLD THE ADAPTER PORT WAS BROKEN AND THE COMPUTER BOARD BURNT OUT AND TO GIVE THEM 950.00 TO FIX A COMPUTER I DID NOT DROP, TAMPER WITH OR BREAK. i USED THE POWER CORD THEY GAVE ME AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CHARGE ME FOR A COMPUTER THAT IS NEW-WITHOUT A SCRATCH AND UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY SOLD ME. WHY DID I BUY A WARRRANTY?. SHAME ON IBM AND LENOVO. 950.00 . SHAME ON YOU OVER AND OVER.
I SPOKE TO EVERY DEPARTMENT AND THEY KNOW NOTHING EXCEPT HOW TO TRANSFER ME FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER DEPT. ONE MAN TOLD ME THE COMPUTER IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD HAVE IT FIXED AND THEN TRANSFERED ME TO A MANAGER TO REVIEW ALL HE CONFIRMED. . AGAIN I WAS SENT TO TECH SUPPORT AND THEN SALES AND THEN WARRANTY AND BACK AGAIN. THERE IS NO MANAGER, JUST PEOPLE THAT PASS THE BUCK AROUND WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY. i WROTE EACH PERSONS NAME DOWN -AND THE LIST IS LONG. i DID SPEAK TO THE WARRANTY DEPT AND I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT GET THE RIGHT WARRANTY AS THE MACHINE IS MORE THAN 90 DAYS OLD AND NOW IN REPAIR. . LENOVO KNOWS ONE THING- CHARGE THE CUSTOMER AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DID WRONG OR THAT THE MACHOINE I RECIEVED WAS FAUTLY. I AM TO BLAME AND HELD HOSTAGE FOR 950.00. I FINALLY SPOKE TO A WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WOULD SEND MY CASE TO A MANAGER TO ESCALTE. SHE WAS CONDESCENDING AND HORRIBLE. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND TIMING AND SHE IS SORRY AND SHE UNDERSTANDS- BUT I DO NOT THINK ANYONE UNDERSTANDS THE WORDS THEY ARE SPEWING. IF THEY UNDERSTOOD- WHY IS IT GOING TO TAKE 3-5 MORE DAYS TO GET THE CASE TO ESCALATE.I WILL LEAVE ON A TRIP WITHOUT MY WORK AND ONE OF THESE DAYS -SOMEONE TILL WAKE UP AND JUST START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AND ASK ME THE PROBLEM AND DEMAND THE 950.00. WAKE UP IBM AND LENOVO AND KNOW I WILL DO ANYTHING I CAN TO DISCOURAGE MY COMPANIES AND ANYONE I AM ASSOCIATED WITH TO NOT CONSIDER IBM PRODUCTS.YOUR CUSTOMER CARE IS HORRIBLE. YOUR SYSTEMS AND TRAINING OF PERSONAL IS TERRIBLE. i WANT MY COMPUTER BACK, FIXED AND NO CHARGE AND ACCEPTED AS IT WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY I BOUGHT. iF THERE IS AN EXTRA PRO THNKPAD WARRANTY I NEED TO BUY- I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. i AM POSTING THIS BLOG ON ALL MY COMPANIES WEBSITES INCLUDING FACEBOOK, TWITTER ,LINKED IN -GLOBALLY. PERHAPS I WILL DO SOME GOOD IN WARNING ANYONE THAT WAS THINKING OF IBM PRODUCTS TO NOT BUY THEM

Dave,
Sorry to hear about your troubles - I can only imagine your frustration and the time crunch.
The best approach is to ask that your case be escalated to customer relations - this will usually take 24-48 hours and it sounds like that may be already in the works. Customer relations should be able to work with service and depending on the circumstances have the system repaired under your exisiting standard warranty terms.
A standard or extended warranty should be enough in most instances - the accidental damage upgrade is really to cover drops, spills, physically broken parts - cracked LCDs, hinges, etc. These types of damages are often rulled as "customer induced" and not covered under normal warranty which results in a billable ammount quoted for the repair.
Service applies their best judgement on these, but we recognize that circumstances can vary and so there is an escalation and review process to make sure we can intercede and help customers as appropriate given the particulars of the case.
Best regards,
Mark

Worst customer support and website in the world!

I have had bad service from businesses here and there, but Verizon home phone service (which I am forced to use in this location) has amazingly bad customer support and a website from hell!
Any tips or tricks how to get any human at Verizon to respond about a phone line that has been dead for days?...

Please visit our Support page for a variety of ways to contact Verizon, including “Ask Verizon,” our virtual chat agent, and customer support phone numbers.

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE
Let me know.

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

I own a t-shirt screen printing business and am looking for a solution to help me track sales, categorize customer information and manage inventory. I'm still relatively new to numbers 09 so I'm trying to determine if this program can help me achieve my desired end result.
I conduct two different types of business; wholesale printing and online sales.
I offer wholesale printing for local companies such as pizza shops, churches, family events etc. They typically have a design prepared and order 50+ t-shirts at a wholesale price. Pricing is determined by a lot of different factors such as; amount of t-shirts ordered, number of colors in print, number of print locations.
Online sales, refers to a line of t-shirts I created myself and sell directly to customers. I sell through multiple online mediums such as; etsy, ebay and my dot.com. Each of the sites I sell through has a different set of fees associated with the transaction. For example, when selling through etsy; for each transaction etsy takes a % of the sale, plus a predefined insertion fee for posting the listing. When a customer is making a purchase through etsy they have two payment options; etsy's direct check out, or to pay with paypal. When the customer opts to pay through etsy's direct check out; there is a % fee etsy charges, as well as a predefined processing fee (in addition to the original % fee and insertion fee I mentioned above). If a customer through etsy opts to pay with paypal while checking out, then there is a different % fee as well as processing fee that paypal will charge. Also, both etsy's and paypals checkout methods charge a different % fee and processing fee if the package is being shipped to an international destination. Ebay's fee structure is similar to etsy ie; a % fee and insertion fee, as well as a seperate % fee and processing fee that paypal charges.
Wholesale printing only makes up about 10% of my business so I can pretty easily track those sales as is. Retail sales makes up the other 90% of my business and has become difficult to manage.
Etsy, ebay and paypal all keep transaction details that can be downloaded in csv files. In the past I have found it difficult to organize all that information and make sense out of it because its coming from multiple sources. I'd like to have one program to track all my online sales and customer information and present in in a nice neat fashion.
That's where a program like numbers 09 comes into play, hopefully. To keep track of blank inventory I would like to organize and keep track of all the different blanks shirts i have in stock. Say for example I print on a blank gildan brand shirt that is called GL2000, I would like to have a category for the GL2000 as well as a sub category for the different colors of that shirt I have (blue, black, brown, green etc.), as well as another sub category for the different sizes (small-5xl) available in each of the different colors. I would like to have a separate spreadsheet listing all the finished goods (printed shirts), along with the sizes available for that design on hand. Then, when I print new shirts and enter them into the finished goods spreadsheet, I would like it to subtract that amount from the corresponding blank shirt spreadsheet. For example; I have some designs I print on brown shirts and I would need to create a formula that knows that that particular design is on a brown shirt and not green or some other color. That way as I print more shirts I will have a running inventory of both finished goods as well as what I still have left in stock as blank shirts.
Then I'd like a spreadsheet for me to enter in all the relevant sales data as it comes in. I was envisioning entering the data into that spreadsheed right as I'm shipping out the order. It makes perfect sense because all the information I'd like to track and organize is readily available on the screen when I am creating the shipping label. I would like the spreadsheet to keep track of; Sale date, ship date, item sold, item size, buyer id, transaction id, first name, last name, address, city, state, zip, country, price, coupon (if used), shipping, total (price + shipping), how much the shipping label cost, site item was sold on (ebay or etsy), etsy fee if sold on etsy (% of price + predefined insertion fee), ebay fee if sold on ebay (% of price + predefined insertion fee), refund (if applicable... also if a refund is issued, it would have to automatically adjust the total as well as fee, after entered), sales tax (would only apply if they entered the sate I do business out of in the state column), ebay processing fee, (for etsy transactions) a checkbox to inform the spreadsheet if the etsy transaction was paid through paypal or direct etsy check out (because of the different fees associated with each.) then a corresponding cell with the correct processing fee, it would also have to take into account which country the item was being shipped to and apply the correct fee associated with that country for either of the check out methods; etsy or paypal, then a total after all fees, then possibly a total of all fees paid.
Like I mentioned before, I'm relatively new to numbers 09. I have made some progress in creating the spreadsheets but feel there is a steep learning curve when defining some of the formulas and functions of the program. I'm still not sure if numbers 09 will be able to do all that I need it to do in the end, so I wanted to ask if it is possible before I continue working on it.
Any help would be appreciated. Are there any books I could study to learn the program better? I just picked the apple pro training series for iwork 09 but found the numbers section was mainly for beginners and didn't go over some of the more complex functions I'd like to learn about. I searched for other training material but couldn't find any.
If numbers 09 isn't a suitable program for what I'm trying to accomplish, any suggestions on what program to use? I've looked in to quick books but wasn't sure If I could do something similar with numbers. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Thanks a lot Mahesh for your reply. I just tried your answer: I've assigned the CRM Service User license to the user, on top of the CRM Sales user license. But still same problem.
Can you let me know where you can view the exact license chart? The link I have posted above seems a bit outdated as it does not reflect the actual license limitations.

BAPI Object Reference for Customer Accounts and Open Items

I am building an application for a client for Purchase Card Processing using Visual Studio 2005. I am able to use VS 2003 to create the necessary object to get the Customer List, Customer Details, and the list of Customer Open Items.
I am totally new to SAP, and need some help to figure out my next steps.
1. What call(s) will return an Open Item (Document) given the Document Number, along with the individual line items. With that info I can post a Level 3 transaction and get an authorization code.
2. What is the process to post the purchase card authorization, essentially a payment, back to SAP for the open item.
3. What is the best source for reference details on BAPI?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Scott,
the questions are quite context specific to your application, the answers for which i am not aware at this point
to pick up the 3rd one :
>>3. What is the best source for reference details on BAPI?
transaction 'bapi' in a SAP system, or se37 and a search with keywords like 'docnum' or 'openitem' or similar variations might yield some results
also when you connect to a SAP system using vs2003, you will get a hierarchial view in the server explorer, that is also a simple way of finding bapi's that could be useful to your cause
with respect,
amit

Where we can link the vendor & Customer open and cleared iteams.

Dear Experts,
Vendor & Customer open line iteam and clear line iteams tables is BSIK, BSID, BSIAK,BSAD, But where we can link the open iteam and clear iteam, what is the link table of open iteam and cleared iteam. And where we can link the vendor & Customer open and cleared iteams.

Sorry to say you but it is mandatory.
Everybody is trying to help others and solve their problem. When you say i am not asking for that and looking for this, it looks a bit arrogant.
Tables are
Customer
BSID (open items) and BSAD (cleared items)
Vendor - similarly
BSAK and BSIK
Totals
BSEG, BKPF
Let us know if you still need any help

Please send with t. code.

Hi Dhari,
Well the requirement seems very simple but its not as simple as it looks.
i have an idea not sure whether it gonna work or not. you need to build a history cube as if i understand your requirement then for any selected period you wanna see the change in wage type or pay rate for each employee if any.
1. pick up an cube that builds on emp transaction data.
2. add the 0empoyee Md, wage type and pay rate from MD to the cube and fill the cube
3.so now every day or in scheduled time interval the MD will load and the corresponding the TD will be loaded to the cube.
4. create a info object say indicator and add it to the cube
5.while loading the data to the cube everyday in tranformation check if for same employee there is a change or not in the wage type and pay rate. If so set the indicator to 1.
4.now build one more cube for holding the changed records from this cube and call it say zhrchange
5. now pull the date, year and related emplyee information for the emplyee to the zhrchange for those with indicator 1.
6. before the next load happen, rememrbe to set the indicator to 0 before checking the conditoin in the transformation routine , so that only if the conditoin satisfy then only it will be 1 else it will be 0.
now the cube zhrchange has all the changed records with time stamp and you can base your query on that to get the changed values in specific time period
hope this helps.
