Determine minimum value

Is there a function to determine the smallest value between four columns in a select statment while creating a new column?
I have four columns (not in the table) that is equivalent to a "daysremaining" value. I am looking to compare and then dispaly the earliest daysremaining so i can calculate an estimated due date based on the earliest daysremaining.
I am working on a ASP application and have been able to define the logic using VBScript, but i am really trying to sort on the days remaining (smallest value of the three).
Thanks in advance....
Frankie

Try using "least"
SELECT LEAST('HARRY','HARRIOT','HAROLD') "LEAST"
FROM DUAL;
LEAST

Minimum Values in Billing Doc - Consolidated Invoice - How to exclude items

I have a requirement to apply a minimum charge to an invoice but the minimum amount is not to be based on the total value of the invoice.
The invoice is used to bill a rental contract via a billing plan, via deliveries based on actual usage and other manually entered transactions. All these contribute to the minimum value.
The invoice is also used to bill other debit notes during the period but their value MUST not be included when the minimum value is to be determined.
The minimum pricing condition is working as standard SAP, BUT I need to exclude the value of some of the line item. I can distinguish which item are to be excluded by the preceding document type.
Anyone has any idea of how to do this?

Sales order minimum value issue

Hello,
Could you please provide some inforamtion regarding the sales order minimum value infoarmtion like where we can maintain that value?
Regards|ksr

hi
You can specify a minimum order value for sales order processing. The following example illustrates how this function is used:
You specify a minimum order value of USD 200.
During sales order processing, the net value (after discounts and freight, before taxes) of an incoming order is USD 190.08.
During pricing, the system determines that the net value falls below the minimum order value and calculates a minimum-order-value surcharge. In this example, the surcharge equals USD 9.92.
The minimum order value and the surcharge appear as separate lines in the pricing screen. The minimum value is for information purposes only, and does not affect pricing. The system automatically adjusts the net value of the order (before taxes) to the minimum value allowed.
If you use minimum-order-value requirements, you must create condition records for condition type AMIW. In these condition records, you specify customers and the corresponding minimum order values. During pricing, the system automatically uses these condition records as a reference for determining the relevant minimum order surcharges (condition type AMIZ). In the standard version, condition type AMIZ refers to AMIW. This means that the system automatically calculates values for AMIZ conditions; you do not need to create separate condition records.
You may want to specify minimum order values by sales organization or division instead of by customer. In order to do this, your system administrator must define a new condition table with the appropriate fields in the table key. The condition table can then be included in the access sequence for condition type AMIW.

How to get all minimum values for a table of unique records?

I need to get the list of minimum value records for a table which has the below structure and data
create table emp (name varchar2(50),org varchar2(50),desig varchar2(50),salary number(10),year number(10));
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',3000,2005);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',4000,2007);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2007);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2008);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2010);
commit;
SELECT e.name,e.org,e.desig,min(e.year) FROM emp e,(
SELECT e1.name,e1.org,e1.desig,e1.salary FROM emp e1
GROUP BY (e1.name,e1.org,e1.desig,e1.salary)
HAVING COUNT(*) >1) min_query
WHERE min_query.name = e.name AND min_query.org = e.org AND min_query.desig =e.desig
AND min_query.salary = e.salary
group by (e.name,e.org,e.desig);With the above query i can get the least value year where the emp has maximum salary. It will return only one record. But i want to all the records which are minimum compare to the max year value
Required output
emp1     org1     mgr     7000     2008
emp1     org1     mgr     7000     2007Please help me with this..

Frank,
Can I write the query like this in case of duplicates?

Finding a minimum value in an array without using loops

I can find a minimum value in an array using a loop, but I am unsure of how to do it without any type of of loop
Here is what I have using a loop:
// This method searches for the minimum value in an array
public static int min(int a[]){
int min = a[0];
for(int i = 1; i < a.length; i++){
if(a[i] < min){
min = a;
return min;
How do I covert this to do the same thing, using no loops?
Thank you for replies

n = (n < x[++i]) ? n : x;
return recurse(x, i, n);

Cannot determine a value for an exit variable in the Formula fn w/p empty

Hi All,
We have an exit variable Z_EX_AR_VAR, the would read a hierarchy node input variable (Z_HN_AREA), which is furthur based on a hierarchy input variable (Z_HR_AREA), and wouuld return the first leaf of it.
We have implemented a input ready query based on this exit variable and it is getting the first node and is input ready and saves the data to the database.
It works well in the query when we have filtered the characteristic with the hier and hier node and the exit variables.
We need to use the same value to be used in the Fox function.
As per the requirement, the Fox function has to process the zero (empty) records.
So, we have customized formula function to process emptry records.
And in the function of type formula function that processes empty records, we have used the following statement.
DATA AR type ZAREA.
AR = VARI ( Z_HN_AREA, HIENM=Z_HR_AREA, 1).
We are getting the following error message:
Cannot determine a value for the variable Z_HN_AREA.
Planning function ended with errors.
What is that we are doing wrong here. Is it with the 'Process Empty Records' function that cannot read the variable.
How come this variable is working in the query and it is not working in the FOX.
We have done the variable to variable binding in the WAD also. Still the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
- Shashi
Thanks in '

Hi All,
Michael Wolf from SAP confirmed that we cannot use VARiable read functions in the customized Formula function that processes the zero (empty records) as he spoke to SAP AG about the issue.
Hence we have made a work around by creating a valid record using a dummy key figure in the Custom Formula function that processes empty records so that in the next step, the regular Formula function would get executed, where we could access the variable values by using VARV, VARI functions.
Thanks,

Error while setting Minimum value to Input Number Spin Box..

Hai
I drag and drop a VO and created a table.In that table,i convert a column which contain an InputText field to Input Number Spin Box.At the time of page load ,the table fetches the datas from the DataBase and showing Number values in the SpinBox.After that,When i scroll the table through vertical scrollBar,the table showing *"fetching data"* and Error is throwing as *"The value must be Number"* .. In the VO,this attribute is Number.
THIS ERROR ONLY OCCURS when i set the Minimum value of spinBox ..The purpose of setting minimum value is that i only want user to select ve value only..How can i restrict the user for selecting only ve values..?(ie,*How can i set minimum value to SpinBox?)*

Try changing the datatype of your attribute in the EO to be Double instead of Number.

How to populate minimum value

Charge sales order value with a minimum value

Dear All,
I have one requirement where I would like to charge my sales order value with a minimum value. For example, a minimum sales order value requirements are set at $1,400.00 (the minimum values can be different based on the different materials) per order, if the value of the order exceeds $1,400.00, therefore no minimum fee is applied or displayed and the customer is charged the actual value of the order; if the value of the order is less than the minimum thus the customer is charged the minimum. We also can set the minimum as quantity.
Is there any standard functionality through which this can be done.. or any suggestion?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
Jo

Unable to determine the value of component ''! Workflow error, please help

Hi All:
I am getting the error "Unable to determine the value of component ''" and workflows are not getting processed. I found OSS notes 879100 related to this issue but I am new to workflow and not sure where to start from! Here is the notes description:
The workflow WS20500025 ('Service Connection Order Processing') encounters an error directly after being started. The following error messages are displayed in the workflow log:
SWP102: Error at start of an IF branch
WL821: Work item 000000100012: Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed
SWF_RUN535: Error '9' when calling service 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'

SWP010: Error when evaluating the IF condition for node 0000000075
Other terms
Service connection processing, service connection workflow
Reason and Prerequisites
This is due to a program error.
The checks in the workflow Basis have been made stricter. A query of the type 'Quotation.number > 0' now causes an error if the container element 'Quotation' is not set. This is always the case if the workflow is is running without quotation prcessing, for instance.
Solution
The error is corrected in the next Support Package.
If you want to implement the corrections manually in your system, change the condition in step 000075 of workflow WS20500025 as follows:
&IS-U: Kundenangebot& EX
and &IS-U: Kundenangebot.Verkaufsbeleg& > 0
Save and activate the workflow.
I am new to workflow and not sure where to start from! Could someone please help me with this? Rewards assured.

How to determine the value of a Standard Value in a routing operation

Dear Experts,
Kindly guide me on how to detemine the value of my Standard Value in the operation of my routing, or in the phase of my Master Recipe.
I mean what determines the value that I enter for the Standard Values: Machine and Labor in the phase of my Master Recipe?

Hi,
In the Routing / Master Recipe, the standard values are based on the lot size.
For Example, if you have the lot of 100 KG, then in recipe the machine time will be 2 hr and labor time will be 2 hours, it means to make 100 KG we require 2 hrs of machine and 2 hrs of labor.
Normaaly all production manager / supervisor will have the date for the hours. The system will calculate will respect to batch / lot size.
If you have order for 1000 KG, then the system will assign 20 hrs for Machine and 20 hrs for labor.
This will be used for Capacity planning and Costing.
Capacity plan here your requirement is 20 hrs for machine and labor. If you have a reacto which wil run for 24 hrs a day, then the order will be completed in a day.
Costing is concerned, all std. valur key will be assigned with an activity type in work center / Resources and the prices for activity type / cost center will be maintained in KP26.
Based on the cost and hours, the system will allocate cost for the order (it will be planned cost). When you are confirming the order you will enter the actual time for the operation, then that will be your actual cost.
Pl do a sample test scenario in your sand box, and surely you will understand more.
The data for Routing / Recipe will be provided by the production manager of the plant and activity price will be provided by the finance team.
Thanks,
JK

How to determine the values for Model Parameters in Forecasting

Hello Gurus,
On basis we will determine the values for the Model Parameter values (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Sigma).
Thanks,
Siva.

Dear Siva,
the values are dependent from the forecast stratey and forecast model.
The forecast strategy determines the method or the techniques that are used to create the forecast. You set the forecast strategy in the forecast profile.
There are some settings that you must make for certain forecast strategies. The table below shows you which settings these are. You make these settings either in the univariate forecast profile or under the Model and Parameters tabs of the Forecast view on the demand planning desktop.
Model initialization is the process by which the system determines the necessary model parameters for the chosen forecast model. These parameters are in following link:

How to determine the value of -D__SUNPRO_CC?

Could any body tell me how to determine the value of -D__SUNPRO_CC? Iam now using Sun Studio 9.
Thanks in advance.

The C++ Users Guide describes all the predefined macros set by the compiler.
The __SUNPRO_CC macro is a 3-digit hex number. The first digit is the C++ compiler major version number, which is 5 for all releases from WorkShop 5 in 1998 through the current release, Sun Studio 10. The second digit is the minor version number, increasing by 1 for each release in the major release series. The 3rd digit is a place holder for the very rare (none since 1994) cases when we have a micro version number. It is zero in current releases.
The current compiler release is C++ 5.7, so __SUNPRO_CC is set to 0x570.
You can see the macro setting by running
CC -dryrun -c foo.cc
and look for the -D__SUNPRO_CC =0xNNN on the ccfe command line.
