Difference Between Raw Material and Inventory Account

Hi Experts,
can you pls explain me the difference between raw material account and inventory account opened under Asset Drawer in Chart Of Account ??

Hi Divya.......
There is no difference between raw material and inventory account. Infact the raw material is nothing but stock and stock includes the finished semifinished product also. In short the stock account belongs to the category inventory account.......

Difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition b

What is the difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition base value?

Hi Nitin
Alternative calculation type:
Suppose my gross price (PB) is Rs.100 for some metal per kg and I want to calculate surcharge based on todays RBI index of commodity rather than simply giving some 2%. I want to account todays RBI index in determinig Condition value.
It is possible to do that by little alteration of regular routine.
Alternate Condition base value:
I am procuring 5 different variety of pens at different quantities at varying rates from 0 to 25 in a sing le PO. And I get the total header value of 1000. I will get a discount of 10% if the PO value reaches 1000. I have to subsequently pass on the discount of Rs.100 now to all the 5 line items. In general SAP calculates it based on the values of each line item and proportionately distributes. However If i want this discount to be distributed according to the quantity of each pen. You can acheive this with little alteration of Routine.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
If found helpful, Pls reward.

What is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

hi
what is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

Hi,
A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Packaging materials are intended to enclose or hold together the materials that are to be packed. In other words, the material that is to be packed can be packed into or onto the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. The most important packaging materials include crates, boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.

Difference between multipart/mixed and alternative or ralted

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between multipart/mixed and /alternative and ralted .
How the parse method works ?
Thanks a lot .

The "multipart/alternative" type is syntactically identical to "multipart/mixed", but the semantics are different. In particular, each of the body parts is an "alternative" version of the same information.

Difference between production version and routing

hello pp experts,
                        why do we create production version, and what's the difference between production version and routing?

Dear sarfaraz lodhi ,
Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in the case of Discrete Manufacturing and it's a
combination of BOM & Rotuing/Rate Routing in the case of Repetitive Manufacturing.
Created either through MM02 by selecting MRP4 view or else through C223
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material.
It defines the following information:
·        Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
·        Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
·        Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
Routing contains the set of operation that's required for producing a product either a HALB - Semi-
Finished product or else a FERT - Finished Product.
The T code for creating Routing is CA01.

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Difference between booked items and requested items

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to understand the difference between
Booking History - booked items – booked date
Booking History – requested items –booked date
The Series definition has the same definition given in the hint. I checked one of the below links for the same topic but couldn't get a full view.
Which series go to Actual_quantity in Standrad collections
Can any one let me know what the difference between booked items and requested items is? As I understand in OM, we have no differentiation. Do let me know
Thanks
DNP

Hi
In normal circumstances, there is no difference between requested item vs. booked item. But if you're using Item Substitution, these could be different. For example, a customer may call to request item A but for multiple reasons it may be substituted by a different item (usually an upgrade with similar form, function etc).
Oracle APS supports this functionality out of box in order promising and ASCP where it can be done based on a pre-defined relationship based on availability etc.
Hope this answers your question, please feel free to let me know if I may help calrify further

What is the difference between scheduling agreement and delivery schedule

Hi
1. Can anyone explain me the difference between scheduling agreement output
    and scheduling agreement delivey schedule
    Will the both look same in T.code SP02 when seeing the output for a document.
    Can anyone send me T.codes for above ones in purchasing.
2. when seeing the Detailed statement for rebate agreement,there is item number.
    In which table can we see the item number for rebate agreement

Hi,
If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle

Difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule

Hi SD Experts
can u say me the clear difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule.
where we will maintain deliver schedule. whether delivery schedule is automatically created along scheduling agreements..
with regards
James

Hi James,
Schedule Lines: Has basically information realted to delivery scheduling in Sales Order level.
Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.
Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
We give deatils while creating order:
Order Creation Date
Required Delivery Date
Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date.
Give your mail Id I have some Presentation I will send you across.
REWARD POINTS IF IT HELPS

Difference between Return Po and Retuning with 122 movement type

Dear Experts,
i need some clarification on Return Po and retuning goods with 122 movement type in the context of Excise invoice.
in our previous company we used 122 movement we capture excise invoice with J1IS and referring the incoming excise
and return the material to vendor.
in present company we are directly doing return Po and capturing excise invoice with J1is,here we are not capturing against the
incoming excise,please clarify me.
Regards,
Varun

Hi,
Refer the below thread:
Difference between 102, 122 and 161
In terms of stock movement, both 122 and 161 represents the return delivery to your vendor. The difference takes place in terms of how you are returning your delivery to your vendor - It is movement type 161 that SAP will automatically propose if your return PO is referenced. Otherwise, 122 movement type will be used instead.

Prashant

Difference between Free goods and BOM (ERLA)

Hi,
Could any body throw some light on the Difference between Free goods and BOM(ERLA) to clarify my weired thought.
AS of what i know is Free goods is 1:1 ratio.
The main item will be prices and sub item will be free .
Than same thing is also With BOM (ERLA)
Regards,
Venksys

Hi Venksys
Please note as given below :
Free Goods : This function allows you to offer your customers a product free of charge in the form of free goods when a certain quantity of products is ordered. Free goods is a kind of quantity discount, and is granted in the form of a goods delivery that is free of charge when a certain quantity is purchased. There are Two types of free goods :
1.Inclusive : The customer only pays for part of the goods ordered. The rest of the products are provided at no extra cost. For example, a customer orders for 3 bottels but pays for 2 bottels and 1 is supplied free .
2.Exclusive - The customer pays for the goods ordered, and also receives additional products for free. The materials delivered as free goods will not be the same as that of ordered onces. For examples customer orders 5 bottels , but will receive 1 Bottle opener free.
BOM : It consists of 2 or more items combined and sold as an package : Example : Combination of 1 Tooth paste + 1 tooth brush packed as BOM.
The Higher level Material ( BOM) is not relevant for pricing but relevant for picking : The tooth paste and brush is relevant for pricing and also can be sold independently : The Item cat group of the Header BOM material will be ERLA and for Tooth paste and brush material the Item category group will have TAN.

Difference between modal screen and normal screen

Hi everyone,
Now,I am developing a dypro. when I create a modal screen ,I found no difference between normal screen and modal screen.
eg. If I use the statement "call screen" , whatever which type of screen you use, the results look like the same. The same to the statement "call screen start at end at".

Hi
Screen type for modal dialog box
If you activate this attribute, the screen is used as a modal dialog box. In the program, you call the screen with
CALL SCREEN STARTING AT <top left>
ENDING AT <bottom right>.
Unlike normal pop-ups, a modal dialog box has its own pushbuttons and title. There is no menu bar and command field entries are not possible.
Normal screen type
If you activate this attribute, the screen is flagged as a normal screen. This is the default setting.
Alternatively, it may have the following special functions:
Subscreen
Modal dialog box
Selection screen
Class screen
In the Screen Painter, you can choose between normal, subscreen, and modal dialog box.
Selection screen and class screen attributes are assigned by the system.

Difference between materailized view and a table

hey hiii
i want to know what is a difference between a materialized view and a table i.e suppose i create a table A and another table B on table A i have created a trigger which will upload all the changes made in A ie insert,update or delete so whether this will perform all the action that a materialized view can perform on A or is there any difference between them
thks

I'll add to Nicolas' answer that the MV maintenance does have access to mechsnisms other than row-by-row replication of the trigger-based type. Direct path inserts to the base table are very efficiently propagated to the MV, as are partition-based DDL operations. Also MV's come with optional query rewrite built in (you need 10g+ to query rewrite to a non-MV data set), and scheduled refresh so you can defer maintenance of the data set until later.
MV maintenance can be less efficient though -- you may know something about the data and the way that it changes that allows you to write more efficient meintenance than the MV code.
