Deferred Accounting Rule and start date

Hell Folks,
I am facing some issues with deferred revenue and accounting rules.
Here is the scenario
1. We sell renewal maintenance to our customers in advance. So our sales team can sell renewal maintenances for duration 05/08 to 05/09.
2. The payment terms are advance or net 30
3. But we want to defer the revenue recognition for these till the start of the service. That is we should start recognizing the revenue starting 05/08.
4. The accounting rule used for this purpose is 12 Fiscal Months.
Now my problem is , the 12 Fiscal Months starts recognizing the revenue from the of receipt. But we want to defer this start recognizing from 05/08 as explained above.
how can we achieve this ?
ANy help will be very appreciated.
Rgds,
Venkatesh

Hi Nagamohan,
Credit Memo is applied to invoice line with deferred rule.
If I issue credit memo on 18-JUN-08 with LIFO against a Invoice line which uses "Daily Revenue - All Periods" rule, the distributions show
GL Date - Dr - Cr - Amount
17-FEB-09 REV UNEARN 0.77
17-MAR-09 REV UNEARN 39.07
16-MAR-09 REV UNEARN 20.16
The above amounts are exactly the reverse distributions as in Original Invoice line.
I was expecting the same thing to happen in Deferred Fixed rule, but the only difference is for Fixed rule I cannot populate Rule_End_Date through Autoinvoice or manually.

Receivables - Deferred Accounting Rule

I created an invoice with a deferred accounting rule attached and then ran revenue recognition. I have since determined that the accounting rule is incorrect but the system will not allow me to change the rule attached to the invoice. (The rule will spread the revenue over 12 months once I use Revenue accounting to schedule the revenue.) How can I fix this? Is there any way to adjust the monthly amounts that revenue accounting creates or change the rule that is attached to the invoice?
I am on 11.5.10.2.

Sorry for the late reply, but this solution worked great.

HCM errors in phase Identify Objects for Transfer and Start Data Selection.

Hello Colleagues ,
Background: We are using TDMS HCM PA PD Expert package to transfer all of the HCM data
We are using TDMS 4.0 SP 5. We are trying to do the Configuraition in Identify Objects for Transfer and Start Data Selection.. In this phase, we are encountering the issue of 'choose to confirm to trigger data selection'. The only option in this activit is'confirm batch' and 'confirm online'. Even if we press the button, we are still encountering issues. What selections then or values can we use?Thank you. Kindly see screen shot

Hello Meinard,
There could be two issues:
First check if you have assigned the target ranges for the dialog user which you are using to select data from sender system. You need to maintain target ranges in activity 'Define target ranges for users' which you can find under activity "Configuration and Utilities in Control system".
Secondly, there could be authorizaton issues for the sender system user. Check for any authorization issue in SU53 in sender system for the user which you used to logon to sender system.
Thanks

SAP Inter company PO Checking rule and commitment date

Hello there,
I am trying to understand the commitment Qty and commitment Date on the NB type PO between two different plants.
I have a setup where my Plant1 buys from Plant2 and Plant1 takes 100 days to get it from Plant2.
Plant2 will source it from Vendor1 and takes 200 days for the Vendor1 to supply to Plant2.
Plant 2 does not have any stock today, the stock from Vendor 1 will arrive only on 6/10/2015, there is an Open PO for Vendor2 for GR will be done on 6/10/2015. So on 6/10/2015, there will be a stock of 2500 units.
No other requirement exists in MD04 for this material in Plant 2.
Plant1 is raising a PO for Vendor Plant2 on 3/27/2015 for 1000 units. The planned delivery date is 100 days on Plant1 Material Master. So the delivery day is shown on PO is 100 days from now which is 7/5/2015.
Considering the fact that Plant2 is receiving 2500 on 6/10/2015, why wont SAP commit to the Qty. When I do the availability check, it does not consider the 2500 units coming in from PO and from CO09. The checking rule does not consider the Purchase Order Qty.
Now, here is where I need clarification.
The checking rule says not to consider Purchase Order in the in/out movement, So when I play around with this check I was able to commit the Qty on the PO. When I take out the check it will not commit the Qty and puts the commitment date based on the Plant 2 planned delivery time ( the time Plant 2 takes to buy it from the supplier).
It makes sense so far, however when excluding Purchase order to be considered for my purchase order availability check and when I remove the 200 days from Plant2 material masters planned delivery date and then create a purchase order, my PO is committing the QTY, how is this explained? or am i having some bad setup somewhere.
Same exact checking rule i.e excluding purchase order, everything else constant.
Scenario 1: Qty committed on PO when Planned Delivery time on Plant2 is zero days
Scenario 2: Qty not committed on PO when Planned Delivery time on Plant2 is 200 days
Can someone assist me to understand this. thank you

Anyone thoughts? thanks

We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it to the new one. How can we find the balance and start using it again?

iTunes accounts are not located on your computer. They are simply tied to a specific AppleID. Just log in to iTunes with the correct AppleID and Password and you will be back in that account.

Can I delete an itunes account completely and start fresh?

I have a large family that all uses the same main itunes account. I recently noticed that the older children have downloaded some inappropriate apps from itunes. I cannot delete them forever, only hide the purchases. Can anyone help me with how to delete them forever advise me on how to start itunes over from scratch? I have a very large music and app library that I do not want to lose. Not sure how to proceed.

you are not able to do either. there is not way to delete the apps forever and you can not delete a itunes account. the only thing you can do is hide stuff

Creating a fm with end date and start date

hi gurus,
I want to create a FM where my importing parameters will be date.
like we give in select-options. if i give my importing parameters
as sdate and edate.
how my coding will work.
Eg I want to select emp joining between jan to may. i can pass in importing parameter but what query shud i write so that it will work like a select-option works in a report.
plz help me in solving this.
points will be awarded
regards
puneet

Hi,
U can do like this.
Declare a range for date and pass ur low and high values to the range in the function module source code.
RANGES: r_date FOR sy-datum.
Let us assume ur importing parameters are low_date, high_date.
If high_date is not mandatory field then do like this.
CLEAR: r_date, r_date[].
MOVE: 'I' TO r_date-sign.
IF NOT high_date IS INITIAL.
   MOVE 'BT' TO r_date-option.
ELSE.
   MOVE 'EQ' TO r_date-option.
ENDIF.
MOVE: low_date TO r_date-low,
             high_date TO r_date-high.
            APPEND r_date.
If high_date also mandatory field then do like this.
CLEAR: r_date, r_date[].
MOVE: 'I' TO r_date-sign.
           'BT' TO r_date-option.
            low_date TO r_date-low,
            high_date TO r_date-high.
            APPEND r_date.
If both are not mandatory fields then do like this.
CLEAR: r_date, r_date[].
SELECT....
INTO TABLE ...
FROM..
WHERE date IN r_date.
Hope this will solve ur problem.
U can also use Between operator in the select statement, But it is relatively slow in performance.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Upload facility for smart forms and expense account rules in oracle iprocurement R12.1.3

Hi All,
We are implementing iprocurement for new operating unit.
We have many expense account rules and approximately 450 smart forms to be setup for new OU. But as part of R12, the setups are to be done through HTML pages.
Currently I do not see any option to upload these 2 items, as doing them manually will take lot of manual effort.
Are there any APIs available to load these 2 items? OR any workaround like using dataloader or isetup?
I am sure many clients are using R12 for very long time and not sure if there are any issues raised on this?
Could you please let us know if there are any options avialble to upload them?
Thanks

How to Setup a Valid Vacation Rule for Purchasing Notifications (Doc ID 378023.1)
Goal
What steps are required for proper setup of a Vacation Rule for routing of Purchasing Notifications?
Fix
1. Enter the Notification Summary or Worklist for a user
2. Select the "Vacation Rule" link
3. Select the "Create New Rule" link
4. For Item Type select "All" for all Notifications or select the desired Notification Type from List of Values
5. Select the "Next" link to proceed to the next setup page for the rule
6. Enter both a a valid Start and End Date for the new rule
7. Ensure the "Reassign" radio button is selected
8. Keep "All Employees and Users" in the menu box
9. Select the "Delegate" radio button - Assign/Reassign action is prohibited for Purchasing Notifications
10. Select the Flashlight icon next to the blank menu box for selecting a user
11. A new sub-screen should pop-up to perform the user search
12. For "Search By" select "Username" - (DO NOT search by Name)
13. Perform the needed wildcard (%) search at the top of the page to locate the desired username
14. Click the radio button next to the desired name of the user to have the notifications sent to
15. Press the "Select" button followed by the "Apply" button
16. Continue on with the saving of the Vacation Rule for latter use
Note:
The key to setting-up a valid Vacation Rule is to ensure the rule is tied to a Username rather then the Full Name of the desired user. The reason for this is that the Worklist and Notification Summary for the user is linked to their username and not full name record.

Relationship between ERPi metadata rules and Data load rules

I am using version 11.1.1.3 to load EBS data to ERPi and then to FDM. I have created a Metadata rule where I have assigned a ledger from the Source Accounting Entities. I have also created a Data Load rule that references the same ledger as the metadata rule. I have about 50 ledgers that I have to integrate so I have added the source adapters that reference the Data Load rule.
My question is... What is the relation between the Meatdata rule and the Data load rule with the ledger? If you can specify only one Ledger per metadata rule, then how does FDM know to use another metadata rule with another ledger attached to it? Thanks!!!

1 How freequently this activation problem occurs. If it is one time replicate the datasource and activate thetransfer structure( But in general as you know activation of transfer structure should be done automatically after transport of the object)
2 One thing for difference of time is environmental as you know in production system so many jobs will run at the same time so obiously system performance will be slow compare to Dev System. In your case both the systems are performing equally. You said in dev system for 50000 records half an hour and in production 200000 records 2hrs so records are more in Production system and it took longer time. If it is really causing problem then you have to do some performance activities.
Hope this helps

Report Completion date and Report start date in BI Publisher

Guys
We have a requirement to get the Report Completion date and start date without Scheduling the report. Can any one give me an idea to get in the BIP Reports
Regards

What is the requirement ?
When the user run report from BIP EE, you want to display how long the report run ?
or
Where you want to display these info >?
If you expecting these info, on click of viewbutton then i dont think it is possible, unless you write the query to fetch the time and in the template processing, subtract that from the current sys-time to get the time it took to run.
if you can schedule then
Simplest would be is , taking these info from the tables, directly for the report you are running.
or
use Public WS provided by BIP to get the report info
but in order to get these, first of all the reports should be run in scheduled mode.
if you don't want the report to be scheduled then, i don't think, you can get these kind of report completion status info.
otherwise , you can run the query by yourself to get the data and the time it took to complete from database and do some sort of custom calculation by urself

Basic start date and finish date changing in the past

Hello Gurus,
I set the scheduling parameters as " Do not adjust basic dates, dep rqmts to order start " and also assigned the priority to populate the basic finish date. System does calculate the finish date based on the priority and start date as current date but it does allow me to change both dates in past or future which should not happen.
Please do note that I activated the defaulted date as current date as well. Even I removed this mark and did not work.
Please let me know if there is any way to restrcit the changing it alteast in the past.
Mahee

This can be prevented using one the following ways depending upon your needs
---> Set the "start in past" field to appropriate value using transaction OPU7 for order type /Plant combination
---> Make the "Basic start date and Basic end date" fields as "Display only" through the Field selection config for the order type.
---> Use the user exit on "SAVE" of the order to check for the same

Effective start and end dates for a compensation workbench plan

Hi all,
We are having a requirement where we want to get the data respective to current plan for reporting purposes. What i have noticed is there is no such thing as effective_start_date and effective_end_date directly in all the cwb tables.
The different dates we are looking at to capture the data are
enrt_perd_start_dt and enrt_perd_end_dt
upd_strt_dt and upd_end_dt
within_yr_strt_dt and within_yr_end_dt
But we have same plan with different enrollment period and start dates. We are planning to use max(data_freeze_date or lf_evt_occrd_dt) to get
the records.
select max(nvl(bcpdx.data_freeze_date, bcpdx.lf_evt_ocrd_dt))
from ben_cwb_pl_dsgn bcpdx
where bcpdx.pl_id = p_pl_id)
Catch with this is, We have 62 business groups off which only 50 might run the plan next year and ohters might not. in that case it will also return data for all the BG's including the 12 BG's where plan has not been run for that year.
Any suggestions or help will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Hari

Hi Ankush,
I am also of the same opinion. Start and end dates can probably be enforced by a policy condition in AM but would lead to proliferation of policies as we would end up creating policies per role entitlement duration for a user.
Any thoughts on whether the sunrise/sunset concept of Identity Manager can be used for this requirement.
Thanks,
