Differance between Variable Portions & Fixed PercentagesCO-PA Assessment

Hi,
What is the differance between Variable POrtion & Fixed Percentage in Receiver weighting factors of COPA Assessment cyecle.
For example - i have 1 sender and 3 receivers in the segment.
In case of Fixed percentage -
Sender A =1,00,000
Receiver B = 50%
Receiver B = 30%
Receiver B = 20%
For example - i have 1 sender and 3 receivers in the segment.
In case of Variable portions -
Sender A =1,00,000
Receiver B = 50%
Receiver B = 30%
Receiver B = 20%
Is that correct? Please correct me..
Thanks

Hello
Your first example for fixed percentage is correct. However for variable portion the percentage is automatically derived by the system based on the actual postings in the value fields/ key figure entered.
Quote from SAP help
"        Example
         Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers. The tracing
         factors are the actual costs.
     Receiver     I        Cost Element    I     Amount
     B             I       430000         I      $2000
     C             I       430000         I      $1000
     D             I       430000         I      $2000
         Total                          $5000
         The SAP system calculates the following values:
         Receiver B: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
         Receiver C: 100,000/5000 X 1000 = $20,000
         Receiver D: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
         The following receiver tracing factors are also possible in periodic
         reposting, assessment, and distribution:"
The amounts referred to above i.e. $2000, $1000 and $2000 are actual costs posted to the receivers.

Activity Allocation - Split of costs between variable and fixed costs

Hi,
The business is very keen on contribution analysis. Therefore all costs (cost elements) are broken up as fixed and variable.
I have a utility cost center (boiler) which incurs both fixed and variable costs. The cost center produces STEAM (created as an activity type). The steam consumption at the process order level cannot be entered. Therefore the production cost centers contain only MHR (machine hour) as their activity. Morover because the business wants to look at costs by production process each production cost center provides a different MHR activity type.
When I compute the activity rate at the boiler cost center for steam, the system correctly breaks up the rate as fixed and variable. Now, when I try to do an activity allocation (KSCB) from boiler to the production cost centers, the entire costs are being treated as fixed.

Hi,
check SAPNET note 541858, this describes the system behaviour regarding fix/variable cost when KSCB is executed.
Best regards, Christian

Switch between variable and fixed axis

In my application I want a checkbox labeled: use fixed axis.
When it's checked the chart's axis both get a maximum. But when you
uncheck the checkbox the axis should get variabel again (which
means, get rid of the maximum property).
This is what I tried, but it doesn't work. You start with
variable axis, and when you check the box the axis indeed will get
fixed. But unchecking the checkbox will not get the axis variable
again.
quote:
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis id="vax" displayName="Healed / Mana"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis id="hax" displayName="Healed / Time" />
</mx:horizontalAxis>
quote:
public function fixAx():void
if (fix.selected) {
vax.maximum = 1000;
hax.maximum = 1200;
} else {
vax = new LinearAxis;
hax = new LinearAxis;

Hi Delodic,
To change back to a variable axis you need to set the maximum
to NaN(not a number). this will tell the axis renderer to calculate
the maximum itself. The update code is as follows:
public function fixAx():void
if (fix.selected) {
vax.maximum = 1000;
hax.maximum = 1200;
} else {
vax.maximum = NaN;
hax.maximum = NaN;
Hope this helps

Cost center assessment to CO-PA using Variable portions in receiver rule

Hi Experts,
Could you please explain how to use variable portions as receiver rule. An example will be very helpful. I have got theory in help documents but could not get
through it....request for an example.
I am using fixed amounts as sender values and using variable portions as receiver rule.
In receiver tracing factor - I am using value field / key fields as say example VV075 (actual cash discount). I also mentioned record type and plan/actual indicator
in receiver tracing factor screen. I also mentioned data in receiver weighting factor screen.
Still if I execute KEU5, system says no receivers found.
I checked and found there are values for VV075 for the record type and plan / actual indicator combination selected.
Where could be the problem.
Request to explain variable portions with example.
Thanks in advance.
DSK

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
There is no error in other segments. I already checked it...and also in KE24 there is data for the combination of value field, record type, plan/actual indicator and period selected. That is not an issue.
I feel some set up in using the variable portions is missing. This is the first time using variable portions.
Thanks.

Differance betwen Variable & Fixed and Variable in Cost Component Structure

Dear All,
What is the difference between the Variable and Fixed and Variable for the cost component for the Cost Component Structure.
why we have to take Raw Material Cost Componennt always Variable. Is any help?
Regards

fixed cost is irrespective the level of production the cost remains same. or upto certain level of production the cost the cost will ramain same and after the cost may increase.
example: rent of the factory building or office buildings remains same irrespective of the operations level.
variable is with every change in the level of production the cost change.
example: raw material used in manufacturing finished product. The more finished products the more is the consumption of raw material.

How to fix different execution plan for different bind variable values?

Please find the below query. The execution plan is fine. The problem That I am facing is in some cases for different bind variable values execution plan gets changed and degrades performance. I have used 6 tables here and all of the tables have histogram on all columns. Database version is Oracle 10g and the value of method_opt is 'For all columns size auto'
SELECT l.LineNumber INTO :b0
FROM Lines l ,LineVersions lv ,Statuses s
WHERE (((((((((((l.serviceContractId=:b1 AND l.LineId<>:b2)
AND lv.LineId=l.LineId) AND lv.StatusId=s.StatusId)
AND s.Code IN ('EPR','ERE','EEP','ERP','PRP','PRD','AAC'))
AND NOT (s.CODE='AAC' AND lv.activeto<TO_DATE(:b3,:b4)))
AND lv.EquipmentDetailId=:b5) AND lv.RouteDetailId=:b6)
AND (lv.cargoDetailId=:b7 OR lv.cargoDetailId IN

AND cg1.ServiceContractId=l.ServiceContractId)))) AND lv.linetype='C')
AND ROWNUM=1)
After searching in several blogs I have found the below solutions. Please see it and let me know it is correct or not
Solution 1:-Get rid of histogram that does nothing but messes up execution plan by giving below command
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(owner, tablename, method_opt => 'for all columns size 1', cascade => true);
As 6 tables are there I need to execute above command 6 times.
Solution 2:- Use stored outline. Not sure how to get the best execution plan.
I am looking for answers ASAP. Thanks in advance

As you have probably read, bind variables and histograms do not mix well.
Histograms suggest that you have skew in your data such that different values should get different plans
Bind variables exist so that SQL with different supplied values can be shared.
Mix the two together and at parse time with bind variable peeking you get plans for specific values shared for all values.
The solutions you have mentioned are the common approaches, together with a third - use literals not binds if you've got data skew (i.e. your histograms are justified) and don't want shared SQL.
I would have thought that getting rid of some of these histograms may be the right approach if you're none of your application SQL is using literals to benefit from them.
Can you confirm your version of Oracle.

Playlist order different between iPhone and iTunes

I updated to 3.1 and iTunes 9. In iTunes lets say i have 5 songs in a playlist. Lets say I Will Not Bow, Let The Beat Build, So Sharp, Good Time, and Fall. But on my iPhone in the same playlist they are ordered Let The Beat Build, Good Time, I Will Not Bow, So Sharp, then Fall. Why would they be ordered differently between the two? Anyone else having this problem?

There is a solution for this problem. Right click your smartlist; select edit smartlist; UNCHECK "live updating"; Then sync your files. This will adjust your device (iPod, iPhone) list to the way it is in your iTunes list.
It does mess up adding new songs to your smartlist if you use a specific method of list names which adds a song automatically. If this is the case, check "live updating" using the method above, add your song, then uncheck it again to keep the order as it is in iTunes.
Hope this helps. It works for me everytime a list messes up. I read about this fix somewhere in these forums, tried it and it works like a charm!!

What is different between using Scriptlet and VBA

Did any know what is different between using "Insert test Scriptlet" and VBA (on Cusom Page Programmability node)?

It?s really the environment used. Scriptlets are Microsoft VB Script which is a loose scripting environment with no variable declarations, no intellisence, microhelp, etc. VBA is actually the full VB6 for applications language environment that provides a very helpful integrated development environment, variable declorations, library references, intellisence and more. VB Script generally uses less system resources, but with powerful hardware today we find that VBA meets all our needs. VBA Also easily allows the use of global modules and class files.

Activity variable and fixed price

Planned
Cost center 3104
Cost element 4402 Activity (MACHIN) Category 1 Dependent Variable $.2000
Planned Hours 100 in KP 26 for MACHIN
Run distribution cycle Sender Common cost center to Receiver 3104 cost center
Cost element 4402 value come on 3104 $.1000
Run Assessment cycle Sender Common cost center to Receiver 3104 cost center
Assessment Cost element AS4402 value come on 3104 $.500
I run KSPI for calculation activity prices, result is
MACHIN 2000/100 = 20 Variable
MACHIN 1000/100 = 10 Fixed
Q. Why system ignoring assessment cost?
Q. I need system should calculate 3000+500/100 = 35 as Variable

Hi Suraj
Thanks for reply,
Actually I have 5 activity types and all maintained equvelance number 1 for cost center/activitiy types.
I am writing again my question.
I have Chart of account having Variable and Fixed GLs separately. Some cost will be posted directly on production cost center via Variable and Fixed cost elements. Cost on common cost center will be allocated through Distribution and Assessment on Production cost centers. Client requirement is
Prices for all 5 activities Variable & Fixed Separately. No proper solution was found and i planned cost activity dependent and result is OK in KSPI but allocated cost impact is zero. I have created a splitting structure and find that splitting is only possible for fixed price calculation.
How i can calculate Variable and Fixed prices for all activities.
Suraj hopefully you understand my problem. let me ur cell number i'll call u or e mail address i'll mail you screen shots.
waiting for reply

Change ALV variant different between systems

Hello,
I have a program that creates an ALV grid. In our QAS system, I have access to select, change, save & manage layouts. The exact same program in PRD only allows change layout. Is there an authorization object that controls how ALV grids can be controlled?
Thanks in advance.
Maggie

I have two things in the program:
CALL METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
         EXPORTING i_structure_name = 'ZVIOLATIONREPORT'
                    i_buffer_active = 'X'
                          is_layout = gs_layout
                         is_variant = gs_variant
                             i_save = 'A'
             IT_TOOLBAR_EXCLUDING = functions
         CHANGING it_outtab        = i_vbak_outtab
                    it_fieldcatalog = it_fieldcatalog.
AND
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
      EXPORTING
        it_fieldcat = i_fieldcat
        is_variant = i_variant
        i_save      = 'U'
      TABLES
        t_outtab    = i_order.
Neither is a variable so why would the program react differently between the two systems?
Thanks.

Thanks YuliaKlimov, I can reproduce this issue, but I cannot explain the different behaviors between SSAS 2008 and 2008R2. As a workaround,
could you try to use dynamic set or create statics set but with fixed member for example:
CREATE
SET CURRENTCUBE.[Prior Month] AS
[Date].[Date Key].&[20050723].PrevMember
, DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'Relative Period Sets';
Personally, I think your set is dynamic set, because the currentmember is changed base on current selection. You can also submit this issue

Different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent

Hi all,
if anyone has idea about different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent, please share your ideas.
thank you

In 4.6, the agent was overhauled and is now called the NAC agent. Previous versions were referred to as the Clean Access Agent. So pretty much, the 4.5 agent and 4.1.3.2 agents are Clean Access agents, and the 4.6.x and 4.7.x agents are called NAC agents.
Some of the changes made were moving a lot of the agent configuration to an XML file, redesigning the GUI, adding a service portion (so that the stub agent is no longer required), and better agent logging.

Different between Short Term Money and Wholesale Term Money

Dear all,
Please advise the use of Short Term Money and Wholesale Term money in Oracle Treasury.
Please advise the different between them in terms of business usage and functional features.
Regards,
Queenie

Hi Prasad,
Referring to your message if it is not possible in Money Market, is it possible in Loans Management. The requirement is exactly same. Here the requirement is mainly to meet the reporting requirements.
Out of the total long term loan, the portion which is filling due within a period of one year need to be identified as current liability which is payable within one year and it is not about reclassification or something of that nature. This is the reason I was trying to ask you the postings, how it can happen?
The initial posting has gone to Long term liability GL account based on the account determination. Out of the total loan borrowed, the portion of installments which are becoming due within one year need to be shown as current liabililty/current maturity. Can you please post if this can be handled with standard functionality.
thanks in advance for the update.

What is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?

HI ,
I want to kow what is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?
Or Can I abstract the Sharepoint fast search from the Sharepoint platform as a isolate component?
Thank you.
James

They are very, very different beasts.
Firstly FAST Search for SharePoint is the old name for the product and is only relevant for SharePoint 2010 not 2013. It got merged into the standard SharePoint search for the 2013 release.
SharePoint search is aimed at providing a Bing or Google like experience for your intranet content, as well as providing some nifty features that are purely SharePoint releated along the way. That means it can crawl SharePoint content, file shares,
outlook mailboxes, internal and external websites and probably fifty other different things if you really tried. Whilst i'm not an expert on SQL full text search I believe it's intended to provide a search feature for content held within SQL databases
and tables.
Can you run SharePoint purely for Search? Yes, definitely.
