CWB Component and Combination Plan

Hi All,
I am going through user guide for CWB. I could not understand what is component and combination plan.If any one can explain with an example on usage that would be really great. Also how to decide for a client, in which scenario we should define cwb plan to update ratings at the same time and in which scenario we should create a separate plan only for rating. I mean how to decide.

An oversimplified definition would be as follows :
Component Plan - Mainly used for salary reviews where the salary has multiple components (or any other case where there are similar things being awarded)
Combination Plan - Used for multiple awards of different types at once Ex: Salary Increase, Stock Options (shares) and cash bonus at the same time.
Usually all components of a Component plan feed off the same budget. In combination plan, each has a different budget.
There are many other similarities and differences. Oracle's own documents on combination and component plans are very good. Please refer to the same.
As for ratings being posted along with the plan results, it is up to the business what updates are applied along with the CWB plans. As a thumb rule, if the award and rating activities are to be done together, they would be in the same plan.

My colleague and I are working together (from separate MacBooks) to create an iBook for our students. We plan to work on sections separately and combine later. Must we use the SAME template to do so?

My colleague and I are working together (from separate MacBooks) to create an iBook for our students. We plan to work on sections separately and combine later. Must we use the SAME template to do so?

I'm not sure iBA reacts well to this type of editing, not to mention the cumbersome nature of trying to bring everything together in general.
I'd suggest a workflow where one book is handed off, instead. That, or, let the individuals involved create their basic content in Pages, then when ready, use iBA's Insert Pages Chapters menu to string them together. Best to work in a linear fashion and avoid adding/removing/adding/moving portions, etc.
If you must have separate authors, be sure to use the identical template and have them all properly trained up before going forward - trying this as a learning experience may result in an off-putting experience otherwise , with more time spent on chasing knots than on expressing writing skills, etc.

Compensation Workbench Combination Plan

Hi All,
We are trying to setup the combination plan. And we are stuck at budgets and rates.
We have two options Merit and Bonus. Requirement is to deduct the budget for both
options from same single budget. So do we need to create distribution and worksheet
budgets on plan level or option in plan level. Found something for component plan setup.
Compensation Workbench Rate and Budget Overview [ID 369711.1].
But could not find something similar for Combination plan.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Unfortunately I can't help you on questions 1-3, but for question #4 I believe you are on the right track. See below.
4. While setting up Plan enrollment Requirements > Timing, the dates are really confusing
a. Availablity Period - Plan will be available during this period? - Yes this is the period of time you want the plan to be accessible (update or read only) in MSS.
b. Assigned Life Event date - life event will evaluating the eligibilty and rates as of this date? - this is the "as of" date that the data is pulled (title, salary etc as of that date).
c. Year Period - ? - For us this is just a display field - it will show the managers what year they are doing the evaluation for. It doesn't factor into any of the calculations.
d. Self Service update period - Avalibility of the plan for changes through self-service? - this is the period you want the plan to be open for updates. This only controls the dates, you need to handle the individual managers access via the Employee Administration function in CWB. Managers will still be able to view the data as read only after this date, depending on what dates you used for the Availability Period.
e. Assignment change become effective dates - Increase and bonus will be effective as of this date? - Yes, assuming you have the post process set up to pull that field for the effective date. We fill it in but it is ignored because we have another custom post process that we can fill in the effective date as a parameter when we submit the process.
The Availability Period and Self Service Update Period dates can be altered after you run the plan.

Difference between Pension plans and savings plans

Dear Friends,
I'm familiar with the configuration of savings plans. But I have no idea about the pension plans. I realize that some of the basic steps are common to both savings and pension plans but what is the main difference from a config perspective?.
If any one can kindly explain the necessary steps to set up pension plans or if there is any document which talks about it please please let me know.
I appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
Define Cost Variants:
In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
u2022 Plan
u2022 Option
u2022 Dependent coverage
u2022 Employee data
Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Variants
Cost Rules:
You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Rule
Health Plan Attributes:
In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
You assign to each health plan:
u2022 Its options
u2022 Relevant dependent coverages
u2022 The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Assign Health Plan Attributes
Insurance Plans:
In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Insurance Plan General Data
Coverage Variants:
In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
u2022 Plan
u2022 Coverage option
u2022 Employee data
Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
u2022 If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
coverage variant for each.
u2022 If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
range, you need only one coverage variant.
u2022 If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans 
Coverage Rules:
In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Coverage Rules
Cost Variants:
In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
u2022 Plan
u2022 Coverage option
u2022 Employee data
Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
u2022 If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
u2022 If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
cost variant.
u2022 If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
only one cost variant.
2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Variants
Cost Rules:
You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Rules
Insurance Plan Attributes:
In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
u2022 Cost variant
u2022 Coverage variant
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
Combined Coverage Limits:
When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Combined Coverage
Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:
In this step, you enter the second half of the equation, as discussed in combined coverage
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
Savings Plans:
In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Savings Plan General Data
Employee Contribution Variants:
In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
u2022 Plan
u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
u2022 Employee data
Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Variants
Employee Contribution Rules:
In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
u2022 As a fixed amount
u2022 As a percentage of salary
u2022 As a contribution unit
In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Rules
Employer Contribution Variants:
In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
u2022 Plan
u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
u2022 Employee data
Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Variants
Employer Contribution Rules:
In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
u2022 As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
u2022 As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Rules
Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
u2022 EE contribution variant
u2022 ER contribution variant

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,

Business Objects and Demand Planning Book

Has anyone combined the functionality of Business Objects and Demand Planning into a single view? The requirement is to provide enhanced analytics (near real-time) within DP. We are on version 5.0. Ideally, it will a single view (table and graph -similar to standard layout) where both DP and BO are called with the same selection. I have a method to access the data near real time. What are the options to acheive this? Any ideas will be helpful.
Regards,
James

Thanks Dave. I created a virtual cube in APO to connect BO. I can retrieve the data fine. I was wondering if there is a way to integrate BO and the planning book so that I will have one view to see both applications. For example, I called /zsapapo/sdp94 and get the planning book and BO analytics. Essentially, I want the BO to replace the standard graphics in the planning book. So, I would have a table at the top and BO dashboard at the bottom of the planning view. Any ideas how to achieve this?
The other question is around using a function module or BAPI to connect a virtual cube to LC to retrieve real time information. Are you aware of any drawbacks to using a function module or BAPI to retrieve data instead of the DataSource?

Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

Hi,
I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
1) The all important one:
We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.

Nirmalya

Hey Shotdawq,
I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.

Reg. Component list of planned order

Hi All,
My requirement is i need a simple components list of planned order similar to COOIS - Component list, but not with all information.
Only I need the list of components planned order wise with component number, quantity, Sloc, Header material number, Production line and Production start and end dates.
To achieve this I am going for Z report development, I found the BAPI-BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_GET_DETAIL has all information what I need.My question is does this BAPI is fetching the values of component from the reservation table against that planned order number.Meaning does this BAPI output of Components and RESB output for that planned order will be same?
Regards,
MBN.

Hi
Yes both results are the same if you check the RESB table with reference to the planned order number for which you have fetched data from BAPI BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_GET_DETAIL, both are the quantities are same, Also you can see the same in MD12/MD13, but when you check the RESB table only input as one of the component assigned in Planned order , then the quantities will differ,
The result will be the same only in case when you execute the data from table RESB with respect to the planned order number( given input in BAPI).

Change component quantity in planned order

Hi,
Is there any FM or BAPI for changing component quantity in planned order?
Regards,
Archna
Edited by: Archna Raja on Sep 22, 2010 12:17 PM

Hi Srinivas,
I assume, you try to change Manfacturing Order ( Like Process Order, Planned Order etc). If so, the mentioned bapis will work perfectly. However, you have to send right data to bapi BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3. Send to bapi,only what is needed, because if there is any mis-match,system will not update the order.
Few insights from my side are,
1) Check "ORDER_TYPE" Input Parameter.
- 5 Planned Order
- 6 Production Order
2) Fill Only ORDID, ORDER_NUMBER and MASTER_ORDER_QUANTITY in the structure ORDER_HEAD.
3) Also, fill the same in the structure ORDER_HEAD_X. Put 'X' only for MASTER_ORDER_QUANTITY.
Hope this will help you.
Thank you,
Santosh KB.

MPEG2 Playback Component and multi-audio track movies

Hello,
I have a MPEG2 movie that has 2 audio tracks.
One is the original voice (french) and the second
track is overd-dubbed (german).
Is there a way to chosse which audio-track should be
played with the movie within QT and MPEG2 component ?
So far QT plays only the original voice !

Since you already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component you may get the desired results using the free MPEG Streamclip app:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Use it to extract the video and your desired audio track and combine them into a new file.

Combined Planned order

Hi gurus,
i am working for steel industry, i am using MILL_OC functionlaity.
i want to combine 10-12 planned orders into single planned order ( not production order) and that planned order should be get
converted into one single prod order.so that at the time of GRN, only one prod order will be there.
( coz in MILL_OC system converts all planned order into different prod orders)
is this possible to do this??
thanks & regards
sandeep

Dear,
Yes you can do this in MILL_OC,
First, you need to select the original orders planned order we want to combine. We need to define one of the selected orders as a reference order. As soon as we have selected the orders, a newplanned order is created using the master data of the reference order. This new order is the combined order. In order to create the original orders as items in the combined order.

Shippment and transportation planning point

Hi sd gurus,
Plz kindly send me the configuration screen shots for the above documents
my mail id is [email protected]
Thanks & regards,
srinivas.T

Hi Srinu - I don't think, there's much to look into shipping and transportation planning points. Here's a quick overview and you should be able to see it yourself in the test system:
Shipping point : A logical point in SAP in a plant, that will regulate shipping activities for a particular business opertaion. Say shipping point for Full truck customers, or Small parcel goods etc.... is Defined in Enterprise structure and assigned always to a plant. A plant can have many shipping points based on the needs of the business operations of the plant. A shipping points is determined in a sales order in the following way:
Combination of Shipping condition (as derived from sales document or customer master) + Loading group (assigned to the material master) + Plant (as derived from customer info rec or Customer master or material master). You do the assignment of shipping point to these combinations at SPRO->Logistics Execution->Shipping->Basic Shipping functions->Shipping point and goods receiving determination.
Transportation planning point : Is a logical definition, which in business terms relates to the team of transportation folks who are responsible for transportation activities in a plant. However, Trans Pl. Point is not assigned to a plant, but assignment is done to a plant in a way such that the external transportation processing determines which TPP to use for a particular plant, but only for external processing. A tansportation planning group is burdened to create shipments and manage other transp. activies. They will use this transportation planning point always to create and manage transportation documents.
Transportation planning point is assigned to a company code when you do shipment cost set up to report transportation charges etc.
Thanks

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
