Diff bet Base Unit and Order Unit

Hi All,
I was going through the table MARA. I found tht there are two columns named 'Base Unit' n 'Order Unit'. I found interestingly that for couple of materials the units are diff in both coloumns (e.g: For a material Base Unit is EA but the Order unit is in KG). What is the diff bet Base unit and Order unit?
Please inform how is it possible to have two diff units for a single material??
Thanks in Adv.

Base Unit of measure is generally the smallest unit that can be used for a material.
But a company may never issue orders in this base unit.
So in the material master, order unit can be configured which may be separate then Base unit.
As a result orders will always will be placed in this unit.
For ex:
Base unit is set an Inch but the company always issues material always in foot.
Therefore in the material master Base unit of measure is set to Inch and Order Unit of measure is set to Foot

Diff bet central processing and local operations in decentralized WMS

Hi Gurus,
Will any one give clear picture about exact diff between central processing and local operations in the functionality and configuration part, which comes under decentralized WM Integration.
mail me any doc or pdf,,to [email protected]
SPRO, path Le -> Decentralized WMS Integration -> Central processing, local Operations.
Full points for useful answer
Regards,
Venkat

Hello Venkatesh,
Let me try to explain in simple words.
In decentralized scenario you will be using two different system
1. Central system
2. Decentral system (WMS system and it can be any application i.e. SAP or other WMS application) in which you will carry out WH transactions.
Now when you have SAP system as Central system at that time you will make settings in "Central Processing"
When you are using your SAP system as Decentral system (which is linked to other Central system) at that time you will make settings in "Local Operations"
Hope this helps.

Diff bet multi user and single user installation

Hi,
what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installation,please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .
Regards

Hi,
what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installationSingle user installation is having one user who owns all the application/database tier files. When you do an installation, you run RapidWiz as this user.
Multi-user installation is having two different users (applmgr user who owns the application tier files, and oracle user who owns the database tier files). When you do the installation, you run RapidWiz as root user.
On Windows, you cannot have multi-user installation. So, the above is valid on Unix/Linux.
More details can be found in the Concept manual --> http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .I always prefer multi-user installation as you just source the application/env file in the user's profile (in the applmgr/oracle profile) and the file is sourced once you login as that user. For single user installation, you will have to be sure that you source the proper env file manually each time you want to switch between the application and the database (just imagine if you try to shutdown/startup the database after sourcing the application env file, or trying to use any database executable file like export/import/sqlplus ..etc, you will end up using the application tier executable files).

Diff bet credit memo and credit memo request

Hi
Can any one tell the difference between Credit Memo and Credit Memo Request
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below is the information on crdit memo request.
Definition: A credit memo request is a sales document used in complaints processing to request credit for a customer.
Use: If the price calculated for the customer was too high (for example, with the wrong scaled prices or because a discount was forgotten), you can create a credit memo request. The credit memo request can be automatically blocked for checking. Once it has been approved, you can remove the block.The system uses the credit memo request to create a credit memo.
Structure: A credit memo request is another type of sales document like a standard order. For more information on sales documents, see Working with Sales Documents.A credit memo request starts the billing process.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the information on Credit Memo.
Definition: The term credit memo always refers to a credit memo from the vendor. Therefore, posting a credit memo always leads to a debit posting on the vendor account.
Use: As in the case of invoices, credit memos refer to purchase orders or goods receipts. They are used to correct the purchase order history if the quantity invoiced was too high, for example, if an invoice was too high or if part of the quantity was returned.
When you post a credit memo, the total quantity in the purchase order history is reduced by the credit memo quantity.
If you do not want the total quantity invoiced to be reduced, you must post the credit memo as a subsequent credit.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information and please assign points.

Diff bet ween forward() and senRedirect()

hi,
can any body breifly explain about the diff between forward() and sendRedirect() methods in wich cases we use these methods..
regards,
sampath

Of course!
forward() is processed in the server side. It's almost the same as include(), but without returning to the caller servlet. The webserver just process the forwarded jsp/servlet.
When using sendRedirect(), the "forward" is performed by the HTTP client. The server sends a "Redirect" response with the "new" URL, and then the browser calls that URL. In the first case (with forward), the client doesn't get involved.

Diff. bet. xsl template and rtf template!

Hi,
I need to know the difference between xsl template and rtf template.
Thank you,
Regards,
Vishnu

Hi,
My 2 cents:
You can easily customize a new infoobject created from a template.
An IO created as a reference to the other IO is not customizable at all. It has no its own properties and master data. It uses the referenced infoobject's properties and master data. It means that you cannot even load master data for this new referenced IO.

Eugene

Dear SD Beginner,
These fields will be used to assign the calendars that determines the schedule of billing dates and invoice list for the customer.
Invoice dates (calendar identification)
Identifies the calendar that determines the schedule of billing dates for the customer.
Use
If, for example, a customer wants to consolidate the invoices you send out, you can predefine the billing schedule in a calendar in the system. During billing, the system automatically proposes the appropriate billing date from the calendar.
Procedure
The system proposes the billing schedule from the customer master record of the payer. You can change the value manually in the sales document.
Invoice list Dates (calendar identification)
Identifies the customer's factory calendar that is used during the processing of invoice lists.
Use
An invoice list is a list of invoices (single or collective) that you create for the customer either periodically or on predefined dates. The periods and dates are defined in the customer's factory calendar. Typically, the recipient of an invoice list takes on the responsibility for collecting payments from numerous individual customers and receives a factoring or del credere discount for the service.
Procedure
If you want to create invoice lists for the customer, you must enter an identifier for a predefined factory calendar.
Requirements
You must first define a factory calendar for the customer either in Customizing for Sales or as part of the master data for Sales (Menu path: Logistics -> Sales & distribution -> Master data -> Others -> Billing schedules).
I hope this will help you,

Murali.

OPUK - Define Field Selection for WBS - diff bet. Modified and Influence

Hi All,
Kindly advise what is the difference between influencing and modifield field's for 'Project Systems > Structures > Operative Structures > Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) > Define Field Selection for Work Breakdown Structures (OPUK),
Thanks!
Regards,
Vivian

modified field is the field on which the impact is registered i.e hide, mandatoru etc
Influence is the field that is the reason why the modified field needs to be changed
for example if you have two project profiles
then for one project profiel you can have say the resp cost centre mandatory and for the other you can have the resp cost centre hidden
In this example the project profile is the influencing field and resp cost centre is the modified field
