Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle
Hi,
Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
Thanks in advance
Rajani
HI,
Assessment:
Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
key.
n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
(secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
Distribution:
Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
on the totals record level.
n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

Distribution and Assessment Cycles
Could anyone tell me the difference between distribution and assessment cycles?
hi,
in distribution the original primary costs are sent from the sender to the receiver. thus the original costs can be seen in the receiving cost centre.
in assessment the primary costs are assigned to a secondary cost element in an Allocation structure and the secondary cost elements are seen in the receiving cost centre
assign points if useful.

Distribution and Assessment Cycle
Hi,
I am trying to create assessment and distribution cycle in production client. But system is giving me an message that system is not modifiable. The transaction code is S_ALR_87005742 - Define Assessment and S_ALR_87005757 - Define Distribution. Is this a configuration activity?
Please help.
RegardsHi,
Be default, you cannot modify allocation cycles in produtction environment as the settings demand a change request (transport) to be open. However, this could be changed. Please, implement note 326080 for that.

Difference between Distribution and Workflow
Hi Friends,
I am briefing my understanding about Docuemnt distribution.
We can send mails to various recepients internal / external as per prescribed format . In this one we can send Original files also. We can set automatic or can be done manually for distribution. This is only for information purpose.
My requirement is I need to send documents for different people for taking decision like reviewing or approving. After changing the status of DIR for a Doc. type. System should trigger a mail (information along with link) to user MS outlook along with a decision step in SAP inbox. When user clicks MS outlook link it will direct to SAP. After entering user ID & password it will take u to SAP in Inbox. or user can directly go to SAP Inbox can see the work items. He can take decision for review / reject / approve statuses accordingly status of the DIR will change.
Is the above scenario possible in Document distribution or need to be done thru Workflow only.
Since SAP has done many developments for Document distribution, I am thinking without much development of workflow we can use this functionality.
Thanx & Regards,
Sai KrishnaHi Sai,
This is done thru workflow. when the status will chnage the relevant user (releaser/approver) will receive the mail in his MS outlook and from there he will give the decision and the status will be updated automatically in SAP DMS. This is achived thru workflow( example: Agents). Take help from abap consultant and develop the workflow as per your status network.
and mails will be triggered to concerns and they will approve from outlook.
Distribution as i know is maual process.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Hi,
I want to know what is the exact difference between distribution and assessement in CO. What situation we do distribution and assessment.
Regards
BabuHi,
Distribution: Distribution allocates primary costs only.
Example: your company has Admin dept, HR dept and Canteen Dept all are cost center.
At the month end company wants to distribute the costs of canteen to both Admin and HR dept in 40 and 60 % respectively.
If you are talking abt distribution it will allocate primary cost to admin and HR dept.
Example :- Canteen expenses incluedes Rent 1000/-, Power bill 1000/- so the total expenses of canteen will be 2000/- Rs and if i run distribution cycle. System will post 400 as Rent and 400 as electrity in Admin and
600 as rent and 600 as electricity in HR dept.
so when you see the report of Admin you can trance teh cost of rent from canteen and cost of electricy for canteen costs<b>." Here you can trace the costs"</b>
If you use <b>Assessement</b> it will be allocated using the assessement cost element .
once you run assessemnt cycle system will simply post 800 as canteen costs(As assessement cost elemnts). orighinal cost element will lose its identity.
<b>." Here you cannot trace the costs"</b>
Assessement : Assessement allocates primary and sencondary cost elements

Difference between Assessments and distribution
Hi co experts,
As per our knowledge the Difference between Assessments and distribution is distribution allocates primary cost elements and an assessment allocates both primary and secondary coat elements.
My doubt is, Apart from the above sentence is there any other difference between assessments and distribution.
Regards
venkataswamyHi,
I just want to make one correction from Dublin statement for cost element category. Actually the concept he explained is correct.
@ Distribution: The data use are for primary cost element only, and the cost are record on receiver side using original
cost element.
@ Assessment: We can use either Primary cost Element or Secondary cost Element. The cost recorded on receiver side is
using Assessment Cost Element (Cost element category 42) not the cat 43, the cat 43 is for cost allocation.
Hope this help you.

what is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?
there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

Difference between Header and Item level distribution of GOA
Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference between distribution of GOA at header level and item level?
can we create multiple operational contracts in ECC when we distribute one GOA?
Thanks
SindhuHi
Which ECC Version are you using ?
The transaction for creating a GOA in SAP Frontend is BBP_CTR_MAINCC. The Transaction BBP_CTR_MAINCC cannot be called in the Easy Access. Go with /N then call the transaction.

Activity System status: differences between u0093Openu0094 and u0093In processu0094 status
Dear Experts,
Whats the difference between Open and In process system status? In help.sap.com it: There are four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
In process: administrator is clearing up questions
But, how does the system assumes the In Process status ?? Ive tested business activities creation with different employees assigned and, when editing and saving the business activities with these BPs the system status does not change.
However, in other unknown situations the status system is changed to in Process.
Any ideas about the meaning of the In Process status? And when the business activity switches to that?
Thanks in advance,
JoaoHi,
These four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
· Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
· In process: administrator is clearing up questions
· Released: contract is complete and legal. Follow-up processes can be started (printing, billing, distribution, releases and so on)
· Completed: All actions directly linked to contract are completed
· Closed: all actions indirectly linked to the contract are closed (for example, from R/3: batch run to actual costs)
Each status having its own control at the configuration level. If you observe the following process you may understand the importance of various statuses.
For example in any transaction by default status would be Open. Once the transaction opened by the respective responsible person he will change the status as In Process, Once the assigned task is completed he will change the status as Completed.
Please notice the configuration settings in the following navigation path:
SPRO->IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Functions->Status Management-> Change Status Profile for User Status->Select Quotation->Double click on the different status. You can observe the difference.
Hope I convinced.
Best Regards,
Johnny.

What's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh battery?
Hi,
I was looking for a new battery for my MacBook Aluminum Unibody (Late 2008) and found that there are 45Wh and 54Wh battery. So what's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh one at the same capacity? Will the 54Wh one offer a longer usage-time?
Thanks,
Nathanaznjia wrote:
I wouldn't trust it. Even though the new battery is rated at 54 Watt hour but an apple battery may or may not run up to 1000 cycles. I looked the product reviews on amazon and I will go for what others said. However, Apple battery is designated to last about 700-1000 charge cycles but a battery over than 700 cycles. I am apple battery tech savvy. I would like to share my experience and provide sufficient answers to all the people in this forum.
I have no idea what you are trying to say. But I am NOT buying or recommending any 3rd party battery. Please read the post. -
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALE
HI
COULD ANYBODY TEL ME
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALEHi Kalyan
ALE is a SAP specific method how to distribute data from and to SAP. It uses the asynchronous calls based on IDOC structures.
However in the distribution modell of ALE can also be used BAPIs. They will then automatically converted into IDOC structures. After creating the IDOCs they will be passed over to the receiver using the tRFC protocol.
Wheras the BAPIs are using the sRFC protocol.

Differences between rfc and ale/idoc.
hi ..
will u please send the differences between rfc and ale/idoc's.Hi,
Please reward with points if helpful................
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. There are three layers in ALE system: application services, distribution services, and communication services.
For communication services, ALE performs a Remote Function Call (RFC) using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. RFC is used to communicate between applications of different systems in the SAP environment includes connections between SAP systems as well as between SAP systems and non-SAP systems. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Means of creating and operating distributed applications.
The purpose of Application Line Enabling is to guarantee a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange with consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Application integration is achieved not via a central database, but via synchronous and asynchronous communication.
Application Link Enabling comprises the following three layers:
application services
distribution services
communication services
Two Development Models
Distribution using BAPIs
Distribution using Message type
The programming model "Distribution using message types" contains the definitions of message types and IDoc types and the ABAP code for processing inbound and outbound IDocs.
Defining message types and IDoc types:
If you want to create message type enhancements for master data distribution, you also have to create a new message type for each enhancement.
The ALE interface does not allow you to create different segment data for different IDoc types for the same message type.
Writing ABAP code:
Outbound Processing
Inbound Processing
You can find information on other ALE functions under:
Master Data Distribution
Communicating with Non-R/3 Systems
1. The Remote Function Call facility allows you to call an R/3 Function module on a remote machine.
2. To communicate between two R/3 Systems and also with an External System. External Application program also can call these function module for integration.
3. RFC or sRFC - Synchronous RFC
aRFC - Asynchronous RFC
tRFC - Transactional RFC
qRFC - Queued RFC (I.e. Serialization of tRFC)
Types of RFC Call
Synchronous
CALL FUNCTION Func Destination Dest
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION 'NONE' ...
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION BACK' ...
Asynchronous
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname
PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func

Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?
Hi,
Can you guys please share your knowledge for this question
Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?
Thanks,
CharlyThis is quite a general question and should not be answered only in context of BPC.
Paraphrasing your question is not really a help.
In general a Legal Consolidation is one whose purpose is to meet statutory requirements [whereever/whatever they are].
For example generating data for Shareholders on an annual basis in Glossy Annual reports.
A managerial consolidation may be similiar in several ways, but focuses on internal factors and may have a different entity structure than that of the Legal structure. Management reports are typically used at the end of any given reporting cycle (actual/budget/forecast etc) and allow 'management' to guage the performance/review the data of their business.
I suggest looking this up on the various financial websites, where you will get better definitions.
Of course in BPC it is possible to do Legal consolidations without 'legal ownership cubes' and this is what many 4.2 customers have done.
In modern BPC i would check the scope of the consolidaton requirements before choosing any 'bpc consolidation methodology'
Raghu's links are also useful in context of BPC. -
What is the difference between ALE and EDI
Hi,
Can any one please explain what is the difference between ALE and EDI ?
Thanks in advance.
RamanaHi Ramana
ALE: used to trnasfer IDOC with in the R3distributed system.
EDI: used to transfer IDOC from R3system to nonsap system
IDOCS:
IDOCS are intermediary documents which are like CARRIERS of the data
IDOCs are safe to transfer data, but less volume of data. User is not allowed to access (modify) the data like PSA. IDOCs have 3 parts.
1. Control Record - SOURCE & TARGET details,
EDI
EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE
are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to
deliver data to the receiving system.
