Difference between Assesment,Distribution and allocation
HI,
What is the difference between Assesment, Distribution and allocation.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
1) Allocations: Allocations enable you to periodically allocate amounts and quantities from sender objects to receiver objects. The two main types of allocations are assessment and distribution. You can allocate both plan and actual data. You perform the allocation using the allocation cycle function. You use allocation rules to determine how amounts and quantities should be allocated from sender object to receiver object.
To effect the allocation, you have to make various settings in Customizing. You make the settings in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Periodic Processing -> Allocation.
2) Assessment: A business activity used to allocate quantities and amounts (actual and plan values) from one sender object to one or more receiver objects.
The assessment process posts the sender amounts to an assessment account. The SAP system then allocates the amounts from the assessment account to the receiver(s) - not directly from the original sender account.
The assessment works in the same way as the distribution. However, with the assessment, the debit and credit postings do not occur under the original account or the original cost element but under an assessment account or an assessment cost element. The information of the original account/original cost element are lost.
3) Distribution: A business activity used to allocate quantities and amounts (actual and plan values) from one sender object to one or more receiver objects.
The distribution process distributes the balance(s) from the original sender(s) to the receivers. The original sender account is credited and the original receiver account is debited by the distribution. The debit and credit postings for the distribution occur under the original account/original cost element with which the amounts and quantities are posted at the sender. The information of the original account/original cost element remains intact.
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

Difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated
Hi!
Can anyone tell me the difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated in tcode RRP3 in tab Forecast?
In tab detail I have the Plan Qty (Forecast) and the Withdrawal Qty that most of days is the same quantity as Plan Qty and no value in Allocated. The category text is Forecast is this cases.
In other days, I have Withdrawal Qty different from Plan Qty and values in Allocated. I see that the allocated values are from orders or deliveries because the category text is SalesOrder or Deliv. and I see the ECC document number, but what means Withdrawal Qty in this and other case?
EX:
date material location category text Plan Qty Withdrawal Qty Allocated
12.03.2009 1270999 UN02 FC req. 726 726 0
17.03.2009 1270333 UN02 FC req. 1.478 410 60
17.03.2009 1270999 UN76 SalesOrder 0 0 40
17.03.2009 1270999 UN769 SalesOrder 0 0 20

Teresa LopesHi Teresa,
The forecast tab shows the consumption scenario.
It has Planned Qty. , Allocated Qty., Withdrawal and remaining.
Planned Qty. is the qty in forecast keyfigure
Allocated is the qty. allocated to the sales order by the system.
Withdrawal is the qty. totally deduced from the forecast once the order is PGIed.
Remaining is the qty. left in forecast
Example:
If the strategy is 10 ( sales orders do not consume forecast)
You have a forecast of 100 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 0
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty:0
Withdrawal: 50
Remaining: 50
The same above thing when the strategy is anything else except 10 like 20, 30 or 40 ( sales orders consume forecast)
You have a forecast of 100 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 0
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 50
You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 50
You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty:0
Withdrawal: 50
Remaining: 50
Hope this helps. -
Difference between Actual Cost and Allocable costs in splitting KSS2
I have Cost splitting structure results with me(KSS2)
What is the difference between Actual Costs, Control Costs, Allocable Actual, Actual cost balance and which amount will system consider for calculating the rate with dividing the activity rates.Hi,
In Splitting Structure KSS2 There are two Costs One is Target Cost (Planned) and Control Cost (Actual Cost)
In Variance Calculation U will See Target Cost (Planned), Actual Cost, Allocated Actual Costs.
Target Cost = Planned Cost
Control Cost = Actual Cost
Actual Cost = Actual Cost
Allocated Actual Cost = Actual Cost of the Output Qty. This is Actual Credits from Activity allocation. This is Actual Credits from delivery of Stock.
Hope you are Clear. -
Difference between extent management and segment management
friends what is the basic difference between extent management and segment management,as we know that segment is a collection of extents then why is it necesassry to manage both??..and what is the need to do so?
saugat chatterjee wrote:

Blocks --> Extent --> Segment
Oracle block(also known as page) being the granular level where the data is stored. Extent is a collection of blocks.
When you specify extent management, you mean where the allocation/de-allocation of extents(group of blocks) will be managed (either in dictionary or using bitmaps).
When you specify segment space management, you mean that how the space inside a block will be managed. Extent management doesn't control space distribution inside block.

Difference between Transaction Figures and Line Items
Hi,
I gone through FI like FI-GL,FI-AR,FI-AP..there i find...
Line Items & Transaction figures as main...like
in FI we have
Line Items - 0FI_GL_4,0FI_AR_4,0FI_AP_4 etc...
Transaction Figures - 0FI_GL_6,0FI_AR_6,0FI_AP_6 etc...
Now Can some please explain...
what exactly Line Items are?
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
How data flows from end to end in FI? i.e where exactly GL,AR,AP comes into picture..how they are internally related?
Some one please explain me in detail (with expamles if possible) and quick reply is much appreciated...
Regards
RamsunderHi
What exactly line items :
Line items are document items that were posted to a specific account. In contrast to a document item a line item only contains the information from the document that is relevant from the account view.
You can display the following line items:
Open items, Cleared items, Noted items, Parked items ,Items with special G/L transactions (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable),Items with customer or vendor items (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)
You can display the line items for the following account types: Customer accounts,Vendor accounts,G/L accounts.
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
Transaction figures are the sums of line items on the debit or credit side. The balance is the difference between the debit and the credit transaction figure.
If you take General ledger
AP records all accounting transactions for dealings with suppliers(Vendors). Much of its data is obtained from procurement (Materials Management).
AR records all accounting transactions for dealings with customers. Much of its data is obtained from Sales and Distribution.
Asset Accounting records all accounting transactions relating to the management of assets.
Travel Management manages and calculates travel costs and supports travel planning and travel expenses.
Bank ledger supports the posting of cash flows.

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting
Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

What's the difference between transport route and transport layer
what's the difference between transport route and transport layer,Can somebody give me some explaination? thks in advance!
Hi,
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development
work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport
layer.
The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local
or transportable change request.
Use
Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as
its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you
can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System
and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer
of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you
require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport
System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes
defined for the corresponding transport layer.
o If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined,
then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and
transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
o If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to
a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the
transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or
client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a
consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the
Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of
Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL
In bulk logged recovery mode certain bulk operations are minimally logged. In FULL recovery mode these are fully logged. These bulk operations are as mentioned below
1. SELECT INTO
2. BULK IMport operations including BULK INSERT and BCP
3. INSERT INTO SELECT command using the OPENROWSET(BULK) function
4. Partial updates to columns having large value data type
5. Using WRITE clause in UPDATE statements
6. Index operations e.g CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX REBUILD , DROP INDEX
In Bulk Logged Recovery Mode when you execute these operations SQL Server only logs the fact that these operation occured and information about space allocation. The actual change in the data is maintained in the BCM (Bulk
Changed Map)
Since the actual changes are not recorded in the log file, the log file size in the reletively less in size but this tradeoff comes with the price of increased backup time. This is so because during the log backup its not just the log being backup, but also
the extents that are marked by the Bulk Changed Map as changed.

What is Difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL
Hi,
I am going to take the assesment test for ANSI SQL Programming before that i want to know any difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL?
I am studying for SQL but the test will be ANSI SQL please let me give an idea about the both.
Thanks
Merina RoslinBasically there is syntax difference between both of them.
Lets say i want to join two table EMP and DEPT based on DEPTNO.
With Oracle SQL format its like this.
select e.*
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the joining condition goes in the WHERE clause.
With ANSI SQL format its like this.
select e.*
from emp e
join dept d
on e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the join condition is mentioned separately and not in WHERE clause.
Oracle supports ANSI SQL starting from 9i version.
You can read more about the syntax difference Here -
What is the difference between partner function and partner type
Hi Gurus,
What is the difference between partner function and partner type?
Thanks,
PaulHi John,
The partner types allow us to distinguish between different business partners such as customer, vendor, employee etc and the partner functions represent the functionality or role each partner plays within the business transaction.
For example under the partner type Customer, you will find - Sold to party, Ship to party, Bill to party, Payer.
The business partners that exist in the market place are represented with a partner type in the R/3 system. Examples of business partners are customer, vendor, employee and contact person.
The following partner types are defined in the partner processing for the sales & distribution module
a. AP contact person (06)
b. KU customer (07)
c. LI vendor (08)
d. PE employee/personnel (09)
Assigning the partner functions in the SAP system determines the functions of particular partner in the sales process. One partner may take on several functions also.

Difference between business area and sales area
Hi
I am swetha i have one doubt
1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
2) what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.
Regards
SwethaHii..
Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
There are 2 options here now -
1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
or
2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
The advantages of using the second option is:
1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business
Areas...
Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
Hope this clears.

I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
thanksHi Salaam,
Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

Difference between IC Matching and IC Elimination
Hi all,
Can anyone please explain me the difference between IC matching and IC elimination. Do we generate records in IC Matching?
Please help,
Diskha,Hi Diksha,
In addition to the above information, would like to inform you that any inter-company elimination or allocation or matching, can only be executed when values from all entities have been entered (and translated into the reporting currency). It matches, allocates and removes the records which are doubled and which can influence the company transactions, records, calculations and analysis and lead to wrong generation of data.
Hope this helps.
