Difference between defining segment and maintaining segment for GL items

Hello All,
Can someone tell me the difference between 'Defining a Segment' (in enterprise structure) and 'Maintaining Segment for general ledger Items' (tcode FQ0300) and when is the later used?

Hi,
Segment reporting is part of functional reporting in sap. Segment reporting is required as per International Accounting Standard 14 for listed companies thats why it is defined in Enterprise structure .
Segment is maintained in profit
center master data from where it is derived, When you post to a GL account containing segment it gets posted to profit center. This is the basis purpose of maintaining segment at Gl account level. Segment reporting is gradually being replaced by business area. This is for you information.

Difference between define plant and copy plant

Hi MM experts,
please explain me what is the difference between define plant and copy plant.
what are the consequences in future.

Hi Babu,
Copy Means
This function is for creating a new plant using the settings for an existing plant as your template.
In copying of plant system copy all the objects into the new plantso you can work on them and chnge wherever you require. While in creating a new plant you have to define everything from scratch.
SAP always recommends to copy the plant from standard template of 0001 or 1000 so that it considerably reducing the time required for maintenance.
Hope this will help you.

What is difference between additive delta and new status for change record

Hi Experts
Can any one explain me about the difference between additive delta and new status for change record with example
if any one has a document please post it iam thank full to u
thanks
Ahmed
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Feb 12, 2012 1:54 PM

Hi
Additive delta --- We will get the changed quantity.
say suppose you have sales order and quantity like 1111 30 which is loaded to cube(BW).
now same record qty has changed from 30 to 40. As we have additive delta, we will get new record as 1111 10.
new status for change record: This is same as like After image delta type in standard SAP data sources. for every change in record you should have new record.
say if you have any number which will be generated by system for new/changed record, then you can use this.
You can use this option when delta option set to "numeric pointer"

What's the difference between the LRU and NRU strategy for stateful session bean?

Hi,
Does anybody know the difference between the LRU and NRU strategy for
stateful session bean?
Thanks,
Levi

LRU makes the assumption that the bean that has been used a lot recently is
likely to be used again.
NRU simply removes the beans that have not been used for a stipulated amount
of time.
The algorithm for the LRU is much more complicated than the NRU. I think BEA
recommends LRU for better performance and NRU when you have memory
constraints.

Difference between roll back and undo segment.

Hi ,
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
whats the difference between roll back and undo segemnt ? are they one and same as per changing version of oracle ? please help

Hi,
Both will do the same functionality,but in oracle 9i they made it simplify ,because if u are using rollback segments ,u need to put them online in init.ora and u need to take care space management etc.
so in oracle 9i they introduced undo tablespaces on that u can creage undo segments and space management will be take care by oracle managed files ,so its reduces the burden of dba

What is the difference between define Assessment and define distribution

What is the difference between define Assessment(S_ALR_87005742) and define distribution(S_ALR_87005757)

Hi,
Assessment and distribution of relevant overhead costs is performed at period closing (actual data) or plan closing (plan data). This is usually done directly in CO. It is then reflected in the data in Profit Center Accounting.If you have a service profit center or allocation profit center in your profit center hierarchy, you may need to assess or Distribute costs again in Profit center Accounting.
In Profit Center Accounting, the allocation function allows you to allocate the following plan and actual data.
-- Costs (assessment and/or distribution)
-- Revenues and sales deductions (assessment and/or distribution)
-- Balance sheet items (distribution)
Assessment is made using a special cost/revenue element. In distribution, the original cost/revenue element/account number is retained.
Assesment,you set rules in the form of cycles for allocating primary and secondary costs in plan.
Activities in assesment are
Create an plan assessment cycle by proceeding as follows:
1. Enter a name for the cycle
2. Enter a validity timeframe for the cycle
3. Maintain the header data for the cycle by entering the following:
a) In which currencies the costs should be charged
b) Whether consumption quantities should be charged
c) Whether negative tracing factors should be scaled
d) Whether the cycle should be processed iteratively
e) In which version the cycle is valid
4. Create segments for the cycle that contain the following information:
a) The sender cost element to be distributed
b) Criteria to distribute the costs among the receivers
c) Sender objects
d) Receiver objects
Distribution ,you create rules in the form of cycle for the settlement of primary costs on a cost center.
Activities in distribution are
Create a plan distribution cycle by proceeding as follows:
1. Determine a name for the cycle.
2. Determine a validity period for the cycle.
3. Maintain the header data for the cycle by entering the following.
a) Which currencies are to be used in the allocations
b) Whether consumption is to be allocated or not
c) Whether negative tracing factors are scaled or not
d) Whether cycle processing is to be iterative
e) In which version the allocation is to take place
4. Define cycle segments in which you store the following information.
a) Sender cost element to be distributed
b) Criteria for cost distribution to the receiver
c) Sender objects
d) Receiver objects

What Is The Difference Between Budget Cost And Regular Cost For Resources?

What's the difference betwee budget cost and regular cost for resources?
Here is the explanation which I didn't understand from the book;
In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource
feature, you can define your budget
for different categories
of items. You can then group your resources to
com-pare your budgeted
costs to your planned costs. This way, you
can view your travel budget
of $2,500 side by side with your planned
costs of, say, $3,700,
and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs.

Hi,
You have to differenciate the proejct budget from the project cost:
The project budget is the amount of money which has been allocated to your project by the executive board based on the estimation you provided. This is not meant to be changed unless you go through a change request process, justifying why you need to change
(increase) the budget, meaning asking more money. Consequently it will not be related in MS Project with the tasks, assignments. It is entered on the project summary and can be meanly used in portfolio reports where you can consolidate yours budgets (you can
have several different budgets) among a set of projects.
The project cost is something which lives, changes along the project lifecycle. It is meant to be updated on a weekly or biweekly basis from the team members tasks updates approved by the project manager. Then the PM updates the remaining work thus the project
cost.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume Rouyre, MBA, MVP, P-Seller |
You say that the budget cost is total money which committee gave you for the project.
But the book refer budget cost for every resource. I don't understand that.
" In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,

costs. "
For example here travel budget cost is 2500 whereas planned cost is 3700. Planned cost of travel expense is created by the project manager. Who does define travel budget cost?
Let's say an employee's cost is 20 dollars per hour and I write it on the project. So how much is this employee's budget cost, Who does define it, From whom do I learn that data?

Difference between Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition for Oracle RAC

Hi,
In our current setup we have RAC on standard edition and client is now planning to go for Enterprise Edition but not yet decide because of cost.
Is there any difference between Grid Infrastructure 11gR3 Enterprise edition and Standard Edition ?
They told me to first install Enterprise Edition and then will move to Standard Edition if they can't get the EE license so in that case do i have to re-install Grid infrastructure for standard edition?

What's the difference between Application ID and Product ID for WP App?

Anyone know what's the difference between the Application ID on Marketplace and the
Product ID in WMAppManifest.xml? Can I get the Application ID before I sumbit the app to Marketplace? Thank you.

Hello the ApplicationID is the ProductID on the WMAppManifest.xml, when you create a new project, a generic
ProductID is assigned to your app, and once you send your app to the store, the generic
ProductID is replaced with a new one (which will be assigned permanently to your app
unless you do a new App Submission, which means each update will have that same ID). AFAIK once your app is certified you'll get the ApplicationID, you can send it and publish it manually, so you could
have the AppID before people start downloading the app.
(if you need the AppID for testing IAP, you may want to try sending your App as a Beta version)
I hope it helps
Yassine,
Now I think I understand them, thank you!

Any difference between GeForce 7800GT and Radeon X1900 for Aperture?

I keep reading about this Radeon card and I'm curious. Does anyone know if there is a major difference between the Radeon X1900 (for a G5) and the Nvidia GeForce 7800GT and how it affects Aperture? I'm running a G5 dual 2.3 with 5GB RAM and the 7800GT and Aperture is somewhat pokey. Would the X1900 make a big difference with Aperture or not?
AMR

guess I should wait until it comes out and get some
hard numbers about the X1900 performance.
http://www.barefeats.com will be doing Aperture-specific tests that should prove informative.

Difference between Field symbols and work area for Internal tables

Hi,
In ECC versions we all know that we need to declare the internal tables without headerline, and for handling the internal tables we need to use exclusive work areas.
Currently i have an issue that we have been asked to use field symbols instead of work areas...can any one help me how to use the field symbols and also let me know how it will improve the performance of the program..
Thanks and Regards,
Kathir

Hi
DATA: WA TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
IF WA-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.[(code]
FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ANY.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
ENDLOOP.
Now the problem is you can't know the name of the fields of the table at runtime, so you can't write:
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
Anyway you can create a field-symbols strcturated like the table:
[code]FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I don't know which are the differences for the performance between to use a field-symbol and to use a structure as work-area.
The differnce between the field-symbols and work-area is the field-symbol is assigned directly to the record, so u don't need to do a MODIFY statament to change something:
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
WA-FIELD =
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
<WA>-FIELD =
ENDLOOP.
These two pieces of abap code do the same action, so probably the field-symbol improve the performance because it do an access directly to the record without to use an external structure as workarea.

What is difference between UNIX file and DOS file for SAX parser?

i have the following XML file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<root>
<strTask><![CDATA[some
data on
multiple lines]]></strTask>
</root>
If i save it as Unix file, than SAX parser works correctly and characters() function works only once per strTask tag.
But if i save the file in DOS mode, then SAX calls characters() function every time new line is encountered during the same strTask tag.
what can be a clue?

Getting difference between GMT time and Local time

Folks,
I am trying to get difference between gmt time and local time for Korea time zone.
which should be 9 hours.
Instead of 9, I am getting 15 hours diff.
What am I doing wrong?
Here's what I did to test it:
First I set the system (Windows XP) time zone to Soul (Korea GMT+9hours) time zone.
Then I ran the following program, and I got 15 hour diff, not 9.
Thank you in advance!

        int timeDiff = (localHourOfDay - gmtHourOfDay);
          //Korea time is GMT + 9 hours so I should get a difference of 9

Nearly correct since the Daylight saving may or may not be in effect which does depend on the date...I would simplify that to this:

System.out.println(delta / (1000.0 * 60 * 60));That's assuming that the OP really meant UTC when he/she said "GMT". Most people don't realize there's a distinction and that Java's timezones are all based relative to UTC.I suspect you are right in assuming that the OP want UTC and not GMT. I figured it was better to illustrate that the method can be used for getting the time difference between any two TimeZones.
