Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

Dear all,
I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
between them. Why would this be?

Hi,
1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
3.No

  • Core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering

    Hello all,
    A small doubt,
    What all are the core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering.
    I am asked to implement License management for certain software in my environment using SCCM 2012 R2, where I should get the report on number of licenses of one particular software used during particular timing. Will this be possible using Software metering
    alone.
    Is there any extra cost involved in for software metering or asset intelligence?

  • What is difference between asset smoothin , catch up and curb?

    Hi all
    Cuold u pls help me regarding this Asset smoothing, catch up and curb?
    Thanks in advance
    reg
    vishnu

    Hi
    With the smoothing method, the annual depreciation amount determined is distributed equally over the periods from the current posting period to the year end.
    With the catch-up method, depreciation due on a transaction within the fiscal year (from the depreciation start date, according to period control, up to the current period) is posted in one total. The depreciation posting program posts this amount in the period in which the posting date of the acquisition lies.
    With depreciation beyond the planned useful life, the depreciation percentage rate can be derived, not only from the planned useful life, but also from the actual useful life. This method produces a declining-balance effect instead of a straight-line effect (curb).
    An asset that originally had a useful life of 10 years is depreciated in year 11 by 1/11 = 9.09 %, in year 12 by 8.33 % and in year n with 100/n %.
    When you use below-zero depreciation with a curb, the system determines the percentage rate, after the end of planned life, to the exact period and not to the year

  • Is there a difference between Audigy 2 hardware decoding and DVD/MPEG-2 software decodi

    I have a capture card and run my PC as a part time HTPC. The audio and video is analog captured and MPEG-2 encoded by the card.
    I have the Nvidia DVD/MPEG-2 decoder set to SPDIF(reciever) so it sends the audio stream directly to the Audigy 2.
    When playing any of these recorded shows, the only way I get any surround sound on my 5. speakers is to have CMSS () turned on, and it's ok (but not as good as true DVD quality 5.).
    What I am wondering, would there be any difference if I upgraded the Nvidia codec to the platinum version, which does software 5. decoding? Would it do a better job of decoding any Dolby Surround material?

  • Difference between Asset and Equipment

    Hi All,
    Can someone tell me the difference between Asset (Created using AS01) and Equipment (Created using IE01).
    Thanks,
    Rock

    Dear Rock,
    Asset is a financial entity managed by SAP-AA (Asset Accounting) component. Though, it has some logistic data to manage (and one can always add user-defined fields) its main purpose is to manage fixed assets as a part of the company's financial statement by applying different tools like depreciation, capitalization, retirement etc. Equipment, however, is a logistic entity which allows you to manage the logistic flow for your assets, by tracing the place of installation, managing repair/service orders, parts of equipment, etc. An equipment (or several equipments) could be linked to a financial asset. It's important to emphasize that not every equipment is a financial asset, and not every financial assets is an equipment even if you are about to implement both AA and PM in your SAP project.

  • Difference between After parameter Form Trigger and before Report Trigger

    hi,
    Can some one tell me difference between After parameter form Trigger and Before parameter trigger.
    Why do we need both these trigger , why can't we use any one of them because after parameter trigger will obviously fire before report trigger and similarly before report trigger will fire after parameter form.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    i will make it clear..!
    Actually, we have four type of triggers in reports..!
    Before Parameter -- fires before params are suppied to the calling report..
    After Parameter -- fires after params are suppied to the calling report..
    Before Report -- fires before report is generated..
    After Report. -- fires after report is generated..
    Before Report and After Report triggers are used for formatting the report design..
    like u can specify a report to be displayed based on a condition in the Before
    Report trigger and u can specify some backend updations in the after report trigger
    which fires after report is generated..

  • Difference between F.35 Receivables amount and FBL5N report open items

    Hi All,
    There is an amount difference between f.35 receivables amount and fbl5n open items amount, I have observed that there are some changes to credit master like risk category and credit representative group, so I thought if we run f.28 it will be right but still difference exits.
    If anybody has come across similar issue or if you have any idea on this on how to analyze, please let me know.
    Regards,
    RK.

    Hi ,
    Please check the time horizon in credit check used. then compare it with FBL5n.
    May be there will be difference in comparison period.
    Program RFDKLI20 or F.28 is to run when there is changes in Assignment from company code, entry in customer master data, entry in sales area data, user exit., currency of credit control area , Assignment of customers to credit accounts.
    And
    Program RVKRED09.--> only the risk class was changed it is sufficient to run

  • ABST2 - Differences between Assets and G/L accts

    Hi Experts
    We are working on ECC 6.0 and INR is our local currency.
    At the end of FY 2007 by mistake direct postings were made to Dep Fund Account which is a Recon a/c and FY 2007 was closed
    And because of which FI-GL and FI-AA doesnt match by INR 37353.71 (amt posted in above doc) as shown in ABST2
    I've referred SAP notes 104567 & 69225 and found the note 69225 relevant to follow as the difference has not resulted in the current or open years.
    So we have passed direct entry which is exactly the reversal of entry posted above using ABF1 (INR -37353.71)
    After posting the 2nd document, in ABST2 another line has appeared of INR -37353.71. Although the sum for my recon GL is now zero.
    The output of ABST2 is as below now -
    Sc  Acct no.   BusA  Year  SG  1st local difference  LCurr  Doc.no.    Period
    AS  31100                2009               37,353.71-        INR     W004
    AS  31100                2009               37,353.71         INR     W004       999
    When I come out of ABST2 , addition to 1st, error no 2 is also coming which I thought would disappear.
    1.Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
         Message no. MQ555
    2.Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date
         Message no. MQ557
    Is still something else needs to be done?
    Or can I move ahead as the summation of the difference is now zero?
    Please suggest.
    Kapil

    We referred to SAP and they suggeted that the tagging of W004 in both the lines means that now there is no error even system prompts it as error.
    So we continued with the transactions and after closing the FY 2009, today when we run ABST2, we dont get any error messages as there is no difference left between Assets & GL.

  • Differences between assets and G/L accts

    Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
    Message no. MQ 555
    Diagnosis
    Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
    Procedure
    Using program RFEWSBAL, select the accounts for which differences occurred. To do this, proceed as follows:
    1. Changeover package: Active package
    Phase: ANALYZE
    Origin of change: AS
    Proceed
    1. Analyze the accounts containing errors using note 104567.
    If the document number field contains the entry "W004", this means that although a difference exists in the balance carried forward, this difference was charged off at the key date. Following local currency changeover, the system adjusts the currency differences at the key date only, but not in the balance carried forward.
    If the entry "W004" exists for all affected accounts, the status is set to warning instead of error. If the correction at key date described above proves sufficient, you can continue changing over the local currency without additional adjustments in the previous year.
    However, SAP does recommend that you make corrections in the previous year in line with note 104567 since this ensures that the balance carried forward is also reconciled.

    Hello,
    There 2 t codes ABST and ABST2.
    You have issue if ABST does not match.
    ABST2 is as of today t code. Ideally they will match.
    To fix the issue
    execute AFAR
    then execute AFAB repeat run dep.
    Normally your will asset balance will match with GL

    Older iPads got 3G service and were called Wi-Fi + 3G. Newer iPads can connect to faster cellular networks and those are given different names by the major carrier so to simplify things Apple calls the newer models Wi-Fi + Cellular.
    iPads with 3G or Cellular are NOT used like a mobile phone. They do not make phone calls or send SMS or MMS text messages, They do connect to the data network and can connect to the web.

  • Difference between a B/S ac and P&L ac

    Hi Guys,
    What is the basic difference between a Balance sheet AC and a P&L AC.
    How can i know by looking at an account in SAP whether it is a BS ac or P&L ac.
    What is the major difference. Because in both accounts we make postings.Then where does the difference come.
    How does the system or we interpret the difference.
    Thanks
    srik.

    Hi Sirkanth,
    Profit and loss A/c is a Nominal account. It discloses net operational results (Profit or loss) for a particular period will be displayed.
    Balance sheet is not an account. It is a statement. But it will be prepared with the help of Real and Personal accounts balances as on a specified date (Usually at the end of the year).
    Balance accounts should be carried forward to the next fiscal year whereas Profit and Loss A/c accounts should not be carried forward to the next fiscal year. These accounts balances should be carried forward to Retained Earnings A/c. Finally the Retained Account shows net results (Profit or Loss). and the Retained Earnings A/c should be transferred to Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet.
    P&L A/s shows the net results (Profit or Loss) whereas the Balance Sheet shows the Financial Position of a Business as on a particular date.
    A profit and loss account reports the results of activity over a period of time, usually one year. A balance sheet reports the situation (assets, liabilities and equity) at a point in time.
    The Profit and Loss Statement reports (Revenue - Expenses) Net Income (Net Profit) and it accumulates throughout one fiscal (business) year and is restarted from zero at the end of the year.
    The Balance Sheet reports the value of the entity (person or business). Assets = Liabilities + Equity. Its accounts start from zero at the beginning and continue to accumulate until the business closes.
    These are some differences between Balance sheet and Profit and Loss account.
    Hope this will clear.

  • The Difference between Extending a Wireless network and WDS?

    I have an Extreme (n) and an Express (n).
    I want to make sure the signal is strong upstairs and share a printer (connected to the express) and use AirTunes. I also may add an external drive to the Extreme.
    What's the difference between Extending a Wireless Network and using WDS? Will there be a speed difference?
    Message was edited by: J. Christopher Edwards

    I think you don't get it
    If I have another draft N router that operates at 2.4G and I have only n devices I can still use WDS and it will connect using draft n in the 2.4G band.
    If one g device connects to the network will go in mixed mode.
    The AEBS will still report 130 Mbps for your n clients and 54 for your g clients.
    If the other router is g only obviously you can't connect between the two router at n mode but still the AEBS will be in mixed mode and not in g. The Extreme will still report 130 Mbps for the connected n clients.
    I can tell you that because I have actually implemented it am not taking off the documentation.
    The same device if I try to use the "extend n network" does not even see the AEBS but will happily keep the n in the WDS mode and though the bandwidth is halved it is still more than g.
    In any case enough for this!

  • Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment

    Dear friends,
    Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
    Thanks, Prakash

    Hi,
    Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
    Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
    For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation
