Difference between Consumer Person & Consumer Organisation & Customer

Hi! I understand in general the difference between consumer and customer in CRM. However, I am confused as to the difference between consumer organisation & customer. If I create a BP as consumer organisation, it will be mapped to a standard customer account group (sold-to) in ECC. Then, why don't we create the BP as customer (classification) in the first place?
Also, under what circumstances would we create a consumer as person and as organisation?
Appreciate any clarification on the above.
Cheers!

Hi,
Let me give you an example, which might clear this confusion.
Lets take a manufacturing company : Tata Motors : Manufacturing cars/trucks/buses
Lets take a dealer of this company : Navnit motors . He buy and stock vehicals in his show room
Lets take a transporter : Neeta transport
Now here Neeta transport is a consumer organzation. As it is using/consuming the products of Tata Motors. The relationship beween Tata Motors and Neeta transport is B2C if tata Motors sales vehicals to Neeta travels through his dealer Navnit Motors.
But if the Tata Motors sales vehicals to Neeta transport directly then the relation between them is B2B.
Thus is both the cases Neeta transport is buying vehicals. So to differentiate his behaviour i.e if he is consumer or customer, CRM has provided classification. Here you can sellect consumer if he is buying through dealer or sellect customer if he is buying from Tata motors directly.
Now you can map the customers in R/3 and CRM in transaction PIDE in R/3, where you can map account group with classification.
Since account group controls number range you can keep seperate number ranges for consumer and customer if required.
I hope I have answered your question.

Difference between work bench request and customizing request

in abap point of view please give me the difference between work bench request and customizing request

In simple terms -
Work bench Request is used by ABAPer.(Creatation of Programs, TCodes or ABAP Dictionary Objects)
Customizing Request is used by Functional Consultants. (Used to configure the system as per clients Business requirements).
The Change Request is that request when you do some thing new in customizing or configuration in the system. The system will automatically pop with the change request pop box , when you can give request name as defined by the system or can give your own request name with heading of what changes you have made while customization. The system will generate a request number and you save it. (e.g.:- VEDK-2785467) VEDK- means the Clients System name then followed by the system generated request number.
Now when you want to release the request you have to use the T-code SE10 where you can see the requests under the heading modifiable or released. Go to the modifiable option. Each request will have again an internal request number. First you have to release the internal request and then release the external request number. This will in turn released by the basis guys thru the T-code SM64 in a group when all the requests are pooled from different users.
The task which you have mentioned in your question is nothing but the what task you have performed while customizing the client system and the heading name which have given it for that task and generated a request for that task.

Customizing Request:- which will be used when any customization changes are doing.
Example:- In your standard Tcode always you cannot find all the fields or options, if you want to enable/disable some fields, in this case it will be treated as Customizing request, any customization will comes under this.
Work Bench Request:- for new developments like new reports, BDC....etc, then Work Bench Request will be used.

Differences between Oracle Personal Edition and Enterprise Edition

What are the differences between the databases of Oracle Personal Edition and the Oracle Enterprise Edition..?

I have just looked at the metalink document and see that Oracle are still blatantly lying about the availability of analytical functions.
We chose standard edition on the basis of this document and were very annoyed to find we could not use analytical functions.
The document is about 8i. Of course we are all on 9i these days aren't we ?

Differences Between "Wings" Personality Cards?

So, I know that there are generally three types of Personality Cards for the Beige G3s. However, while trolling eBay for the fabled Bordeaux card, I noticed something really odd; there seem to be two different types of the Wings card: 820-0923-A, and 820-0971-A. Both seem to have the same features (Audio I/O, S-Video I/O and RCA A/V I/O). Is there any special difference between them? Is one better than the other?

While I tried to search for a thread a I remembered reading earlier, it ended up being right under my nose - oops.

Difference between user exit/Function exit / Customer exit and BADI

Hi Guys,
I am confused with the types of exits-user exit/Function exit / Customer exit and BADI.
Can you tell me the difference between the different exits/Enhancements?
Classify the following:
what is the one which is shown in SMOD under enhancements? There are 3 sections in that - Function module, Screen and includes.
What is the one which are called using -
Call Customer-Function 001?
Regards,
Guru

hi,
The standard applications do not offer some of the functionality you need. The R/3 enchancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP's standard business applications.
Different types of enhancements
Enhancements using customer exits
Customers' potential requirements which are not included in the standard software are incorporated in the standard as empty modification 'shells'. Customers can then fill these with their own coding. Enhancements can relate to programs, menus and screens. Upward compatibility is assured. In other words, SAP guarantees that the jump from the standard software to the exit and the interface which call the exit will remain valid in future releases.
Enhancements to ABAP/4 Dictionary elements
These are ABAP/4 Dictionary enhancements (creation of table appends), text enhancements (customer-specific key words and documentation for data elements) and field exits (creation of additional coding for data elements).
advantages of enhancements
Do not affect standard SAP source code
Do not affect software upgrades
Customer exit - The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.
Various types of customer exits
Menu exits
Screen exits
Function module exits
Keyword exits
Menu exit
Adding items to the pulldown menus in standard R/3 applications .
Screen exit
Adding fields to the screens within R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas within a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from within the standard dynpro's flow logic.
Function module exit
Adding functionality to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
keyword exit
Add documentation to the data elements of key words defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. The system displays this documentation whenever a user presses F1 to get online help for a screen field
Hope this helps, Do reward.

What is the difference between WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise

I am setting up my Airport Extreme and would like to know what is the difference between the WPA2 personal versus the Enterprise, I wish to secure my wireless system.

wpa2 personal uses preshared passphrases to connect various devices to the wireless network; this is probably what 99 % of all home users use. the wireless device takes your preshared key and hashes it
with your ssid name and sends the information via a 4 way handshake to get the current encryption keys and these keys change at regular intervals (default 1 hour)
im not 100 % sure on this one. but this is the impression i get.
wpa2 enterprise relies on an authentication server, and i believe each cient is given a different encryption cipher or the server is the one that has the keys and gives the current keys to the client. the cient does not use a preshared key. the only time i ever used wpa2 enterprise was google secure wifi in mountain view

Difference between VMI and collaboration with customer

Hai,
I am trying to understand the difference between VMI and collaborative planning with customer(CPC)
Please correct me if I am wrong. In VMI, a vendor or manufacturer sells his material to customer and through EDI, the customer gives the information such as forecast, stock etc.
In CPC, the vendor and customer interchange information, such as demand, stock levels, promotions, delivery dates etc., based on ITS.
What is the difference between these two?
If I am not wrong, EDI is used for outside company communication andITS for within. So, can I say that VMI is for customer outside the company and CPC for internal customer?
Thank you.

Hi Visu,
Service provided by a vendor for a customer, whereby the vendor plans material requirements in the customer's company. Vendor-managed inventory is only possible if the vendor has access to the customer's current stock and sales data.
In the ERP system, the following functions are available for vendor-managed inventory:
Transfer of stock and sales data by EDI
Receipt of stock and sales data by EDI
Replenishment planning for customers
Creation of a purchase order for an external EDI order acknowledgment
supply chain management tool that synchronizes demand signals and supply chain activities by utilizing Internet technology. Collaborative Planning enables supply chain partners to view, share and synchronize common information within the supply chain.
Hope this helps.

Difference between USER-EXISTs and Customer-Exits???

Hi,
Can anyone give me the difference between the user-exits and customer-exits?
Please respond at the earliest. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
USER EXITS->
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP.
The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
The code for the function module is writeen by the developer.
You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
CUSTOMER EXITS-> t-code CMOD.
As of Release 4.6A SAP provides a new enhancement technique, the Business Add-Ins.
Among others, this enhancement technique has the advantage of
being based on a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partner,
customer, and so on)
instead of a two-level landscape (SAP, customer) as with the customer exits.
You can create definitions and implementations of business add-ins at any level of the system landscape.
To unify enhancements of the SAP Standard you can migrate customer exits to business add-ins.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/1975cc43b111d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
In order to find out the user exits for any tcode,
1. get the developement class of the tcode from SE93.
2. Now goto transaction SMOD and press F4,
3. give in the Deve class in the dev class and Press ENTER
this will show u the exits for any tcode.
or execute this report
http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/code/abap26.htm
which gives the list of exits for a tcode

Difference between "Rebate Recipient" and "Customer" in Rebate Setting

While setting "Rebate Agreement" (TCode VBO1), for "Customer Rebate" (0003) Agreement Type, there is one "Rebate Recipient" and then when we go on to create the conditions, there is "Customer" for different rate etc.
My question- What is difference between the "Rebate Recipient" & the "Customer" (the one we enter while entering the conditions)?
Is it like "Payer" & "Sold to Party" partner function in Sales Order Processing eg for different "Sold to Party" there could be one "Payer", similarly for Rebate, for these different "Sold to Party", which would be like "Customer" in Rebate setting and the "Payer" in Sales Order will be like "Rebate Recipient" in Rebate Setting.?
Thx

Dear SR
Rebate Recipient is the payer
As you know ,in rebate configuration , the payer's master record is to be activated which is first major setting in rebates
Customer is sold to party
As you know ,the rebate process starts from sales order (your sales order pricing procedure will have rebate condition types but they are reflected in billing) and in a sales document the pricing conditions is taken from sold to party and the pricing condition records are taken from sold to party
If in case payer and sold to party are different
That means the input is taken from sold to party that is Customer (rebate calculations in pricing procedure ) and the out put is passed on to the payer that is Rebate Recipient (passing on rebate claim as credit notes)
That is two different identities which the system needs to know
Hence SAP has defined so
Even if the payer and sold to paty are same even then we need to give the same no(customer no ) in both the places
Regards
Raja

Difference between RFKORD10 & RFKORD11

Hello folks,
Points available.
Could someone tell me the difference between RFKORD10 (Account Statement) & RFKORD11 (Customer Statement)? Is one better to use than the other when trying to get an Accounts receivable stmt?
I would greatly appreciate a detailed response, if possible.
Thanks!

The following documentation may be of some help to u:
RFKORD10
This program prints account statements and open items lists for customers and vendors in letter form.
For account statements, all postings between two key dates, as well as the opening and closing balance, are listed. Alternatively, the opening balance can be divided up into the causal open items.
For the open items list, all open items at a key date, and the balance at the key date are listed.
The account statements and open items lists can be supplemented by totals specifications to due items, sorting of open items, and specifications on noted items.
As a rule, the print program is carried out directly only during the configuration for testing purposes. Otherwise, the call is carried out automatically by means of higher-level correspondence programs.
Before you can print account statements and open items lists within correspondence, the following requirements must be met.
1. Configuration
Make the basic settings for correspondence in the "Financial Accounting Global Settings" Implementation Guide. You can find more detailed explanations on the standard settings further on in this program documentation.
2. Defining forms
Forms must be defined and activated in the system so that you can print the required letters. The standard system provides a form that you can copy and adapt to your own requirements.
In the standard system, the forms F140_ACC_STAT_01 and F140_ACC_STAT_02 are used.
The following restrictions apply to the creation of account statements and open items lists:
1. No account statements can be created for one-time customers.
2. Even with head offices with local processing, payment notices are addressed to the head office and not to the branch.
3. Correspondence types for account statements or open items lists with individual text cannot be used for the periodic account statements created using program RFKORK00.
RFKORD11Print Program: Customer Statement
Description
This program prints customer statements and open item lists as letters for customers and vendors. The customer statement is a special type of account statement.
A customer statement lists all clearing procedures between two key dates, for example, the date of the last statement and the current statement date. There then follows the open item list at the current statement key date and the balance at the key date.
An open item list contains all open items at a key date and the balance at that key date.
The customer statement and the open item lists can be supplemented by totals specifications for due items, open item sorted lists and specifications for noted items.
When using the corresponding two-part form, you can also issue a payment advice addressed to the sender for paying the account statement recipient, in addition to the part of the statement which remains with the statement recipient. A payment advice can, however, also be printed parallel to the statement. A printout of the payment advice at the end of the statement is not supported.
As a rule, the print program is only carried out directly during system configuration for testing purposes. Otherwise, the call is carried out automatically by means of higher-level correspondence programs.
Requirements
Before you can print customer statements and open item lists within the correspondence function, the following requirements must be met.
1. Configuration
Make the basic settings for correspondence in the "Financial accounting global settings" Implementation Guide. You can find more detailed explanations on the standard settings further on in this program documentation.
2. Defining forms
Forms must be defined and activated in the system so that you can print the required letters. The standard system provides two forms that you can copy and adapt to meet your own requirements.
In the standard system, the forms F140_CUS_STAT_01 (vertical format) and F140_CUS_STAT_02 (oblong format with payment advice) are used.
The following restrictions apply to the creation of customer statements and open item lists:
1. No statements can be created for one-time customers.
2. Even in the case of head offices with local processing, customer statements and open item lists are addressed to the head office and not to the branch.
3. Correspondence types for customer statements or open item lists with individual text cannot be used for the periodic account statements created by means of the program RFKORK00.
Output
A customer statement or an open item list is output for each customer or vendor. A separate spool request is created for each company code. For test purposes, the data can be displayed on the screen. If you do not specify for the print program on which printer the correspondence should be printed, the program may take the printer specified in the user master of the user who started the program or the printer specified when the job is scheduled.
If minor errors occur during the program run, i.e. errors that do not lead to a program termination, these are listed after the run in an error list. If you want these error lists to be printed on a certain printer, you should specify a printer for the log in the print program or the print program variant. If you do not make this specification, the program reacts as above (as for the printer for the correspondence). If the program is run online, the error list is displayed on the screen. If, however, the program is scheduled as a job, the job request name for the error list is composed of the identifier F140ER, the printer name and maybe the correspondence type and/or the company code.

Difference between TCode /SAPSLL/CD_FS_ARCH and /SAPSLL/CDOC_STCOMPL

Does anyone could explain the difference between transaction /SAPSLL/CD_FS_ARCH "Flag Customs Documents Automatically" and transaction /SAPSLL/CDOC_STCOMPL "Flag General Customs Mgt Docs Automatically"?
I understand it like this:
Transaction /SAPSLL/CD_FS_ARCH marks all customs documents where the related documents in ERP are in a status to allow archiving.
Which status will be set? Where can I check it (table/field)?
Transaction /SAPSLL/CDOC_STCOMPL marks all customs documents which are in a status to allow archiving.
Which status will be set? Where can I check it (table/field)?

Hi Renate,
The difference, as you say, is that the /SAPSLL/CD_FS_ARCH report checks the archiving status of the related Feeder System documents to determine whether or not the status of the GTS documents should be adjusted. The /SAPSLL/CDOC_STCOMPL report does not take the Feeder System status into account as far as I can see.
Report /SAPSLL/CD_FS_ARCH changes the GTS document status to "restricted" (value '3B') - you should be able to see that in table /SAPSLL/CUHDSTA (related to the Document Number in table /SAPSLL/CUHD).
Report /SAPSLL/CDOC_STCOMPL also sets the same document status, and also takes into account the related GTS documents - for example the SCD, if relevant for a Customs Declaration.
Hope that helps.

Dave

What's the difference between person customer,consumer customer, and..

Hi...
I'm in need of urgent help. I'm trying to implement the BAPI: BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1.
In the documentation, they talk about 3 types of customer:
Non-consumers
Consumer customers
Company customers
What do these mean? And what's the difference between each of these?
I'm new to the concepts of customer master, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi ,
maybe you missed the first line of the documentation which states :
Only for Online Store !!
In other words, you should first avoid to use that function module.
The name of it is attracting, but you still should not use it.
It is not intended to be used out of its original process context. One fo the main effect you will face is limitations and data inconsistencies.
For the maintenance of customers, there is NO BAPI and NO direct function module.
There are some functions modules like the one above where the name is looking nice. But these should not be used.
Below ECC 2005 (6.00), the only solution was batch input and DEBMAS idocs. See [note 384462|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/384462]
Starting with ECC 2005 (6.00) and above: a synchronisation tool has been introduced. See class CMD_EI_API and VMD_EI_API
Now some few words about comsumers, customers.
The difference between a company customer and a non-consumer, I can't state. For me, this is the same.
Now the consumer. This is a very specific master data.
A consumer is mainly a person.
As a result, the best definition would be :
'A consumer is a customer that has one and only one contact person which is himself'
The construction of the address is pretty different. All the address data is at contact person level.
The KNA1 table does not own any address fields. All is at KNVK level.
For the BAS (Business address services) tables, this is the same. ADRC is mostly empty. Only ADRP, ADCP... contains meaningfull data.
Best regards
Alain
Hope this helps

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer
MyServices Professional is different from MyServices Consumer in the following ways:
There are Common Tasks links on the home page for Order on Behalf and for Authorizations (if the Authorization portlet is enabled in the user's profile).
Automatically grants the Order on Behalf permission for all people in the Home OU of the MyServices Professional user.
Adds the "Authorizations for Others" view on the Authorizations page. This view allows the MyServices Professional user to view -- but not perform -- all Authorizations for people in their Home OU.
See the attached file for more detail and screenshots of: MyServices Consumer with and without the Order on Behalf link displayed, and Requisition and Authorization list views; MyServices Professional Home page with and without the Authorizations portlet visible, and Requisition and Authorization list views.
Note: RequestCenter 2006 cannot be configured to automatically add users to MyServices Professional on creation of their user record via directory integration. This can be accomplished in RC2007, since roles can be imported from LDAP in that version.

Hi Koji,
One thing to consider is the number of different source types. BO supports SAP and all the relational DBs. There is also the fact that BO provides a single front end to different reporting type which makes the user experience much better. Finally, users ability to build there own reports, without a high level of traiining is one of the big selling points for BO.
Here is a good overview of the combination of the 2 , including some roadmap
