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

    Formula Variable:If you want use variables in the formulas of a form, you need to use formula variables. You can use formula variables only in form reports, and must define them in the form itself. They can be replaced in the same ways as text variables when you execute the report.

  • What's the difference between old SAP appraisal system and the new SAP appraisal system?

    Hi Experts,
    What's the difference between old SAP appraisal system and the new SAP appraisal system?
    Can anyone shed some light please.
    Thanks.

    emgr_update no longer sets or gets the thesaurus from workbench. In 11 all workbench configurations are saved in IFCR configuration directly.
    Hence the thesaurus entry should be added directly in version 11 Workbench as opposed to xml file in older versions.
    And if you want to migrate the changes across environments then import_site script in control directory can be used.

  • Difference between New Archieve and New Patch

    Hi,
    I am going through import and export topics of LCA files (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000276.html ). I understood how we can create new Archieves and import it to another environments. But I am not able to understand about patches.
    In both the cases, I am doing the same thing. I am creating archieve of the application. I am sure, there would be difference between "new archive" and "Patch" but not able to figure out.
    Can anyone let me know if I create new archieve and Patch, then what is the visual differences i can look in both the archieves??????
    Regards
    Sunil

    patching is related to component of LiveCycle.
    these are  basically jar files updated with new one. For more please look here.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000960.html
    LCA files are simply archive file of the processes/application that you create in workbench. These archive files can be import to other environment  at later stage.

  • Difference between the TABs  "All Content" and "Discussions" on the new forum?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the difference between the TABs  "All Content" and "Discussions" on the new forum?  They seem to be the same.  I'm confused.
    Petey

    Petey,
    Though I was part of the forum update beta, there was some that we could not effectively test, plus some aspects (like "Like"), that some liked, but others did not. That sort of thing happens.
    Also, now that we have the full version, and all servers are synced, there will probably be things that the beta testers did not get to experience. We will all be learning, in the process too. Also remember, much of the new forum software was provided by Jive, and though many of us commented (pros and cons), only so much could be addressed. It was not quite like doing a beta on Adobe software, as there was a complete, separate layer in between.
    So far, what I see looks close to what we saw a few weeks (months?) ago. Now, I need to really put the real software through its paces, to see what got changed from then, until now.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Difference between new GL & Classic GL

    Hi
    I request everyone to help me understand the difference between new GL and Classic GL.
    Basically a new GL has following features:-
    1. Segmental Reporting
    2. Parallel Currencies
    3. Generation of Balance Sheets @ Profit Center Level
    4. Legal Consolidation
    I believe all the above features can also be achieved in Classic GL.
    Also what is the difference between Business Area & Segments?
    Pls help.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth

    Hi Srikanth,
    One of the the core differnences between New GL and Glassic Gl is online integration of  items like PCA,segments,Business area etc with GL.
    In classic GL we need to do a lot of periodic closing activities to get restricted Balance sheet at these levels.
    with online document split enabled in New gl these periodic activities are gone.
    Differnce between business areas and segments:
    both can be used to draw financial statements at other than co.code level. But for segmental reporting you need to have PCA as segments can be derived only thru Profit center. (BADI available in other cases)whereas Business areas are cross co.code settings so you can assign them to sales area/plant/divsion combination for derivation which remains the same as classic gl.
    Hope this helps.
    Pls assign points if it does.
    Thanks,
    vamsi

  • What's the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object

    hi guys, i wanna know the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object.
    for eg.
    Car c1;
    Car c2 = null;after the 2 lines , 2 Car obj-referance have been created, but no Car obj.
    1.so c2 is not refering to any object, so where do we put the null?in the heap?
    2.as no c2 is not refering to any object, what's the difference between c2 and c1?
    3.and where we store the difference-information?in the heap?

    For local variables you can't have "Car c1;" the compiler will complain.That's not true. It will only complain if you try to use it without initializing it.
    You can have (never used, so compiler doesn't care):
    public void doSomething()
       Car c1;
       System.out.println("Hello");
    }or you can have (definitely initialized, so doesn't have to be initialized where declared):
    public void doSomething(boolean goldClubMember)
       Car c1;
       if (goldClubMember)
           c1 = new Car("Lexus");
       else
           c1 = new Car("Kia");
       System.out.println("You can rent a " + c1.getMake());

  • What is the difference between component(Y, Pb, Pr) and component(R,G,B)?

    [I previously posted this question in another thread as hadn't realised how to post new question]
    Q. What is the difference between component (Y, Pb, Pr) and component (R,G,B) ?
    I’d previously thought I was reasonably savvy on all things HD, but when I turned my thoughts to looking into getting a mac mini to run part of my home cinema I realise I have some confusions around the above.
    Here’s what I think I know:-
    The mac mini has a DVI output of the type which can output both digital and analogue, and so via physical adapters it could be used to connect to displays that take HDMI or VGA style RGB leads.
    I know on the market I can get a DVI to Component cable lead which would therefore lead me to assume it could drive my HD plasma with component input (Y,Pb,Pr), as I currently drive the HD TV via component cable with a SKY HD box (720p and 1080i), an xbox 360 (720p) and a progressive scan DVD player (480p), all through a Denon AV-amp.
    The problem is, I’ve heard somewhere that the DVI to component is R,G,B only and that it is not Y, Pb, Pr which is making me wonder it a) this will work and b) if I really understand component video afterall.
    I notice the Apple TV outputs Y,Pb,Pr but colours them red, green and blue, so am even more confused….
    Hopefully someone can help educate me on this !

    Thanks for this.
    My Plasma is a Panasonic 42" Viera March 2005 model. No HDMI, No VGA.
    It can process signals up to 720p and 1080i via the component (an interestingly it makes a huge difference over SD even though the native panel is 480..!?!)
    Am I right in thinking that the iPod component cable will also be R,G,B and therefor might be a suitable trial? Ie. if the TV accepts the input from the iPod then it should work for the mini?
    Only other thing of note is I'm doing all this via my Denon 1707 AV amp which does have the facility of upscaling, but I imagine it needs to stick to one format?
    Thanks.

  • Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to CRM. Can someone tell me the Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM.
    It will be very useful if someone explains with example.
    Some where in SDN i read in CRM we should not select statment. Then how to fetch data?
    Please give me more basic concepts about CRM programming.
    Thanks,
    RAGU

    Hi Ragu,
    You can find much information at http://service.sap.com/crm-inst.
    Go to Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP CRM
    Check the CRM version in which you are working and get the documents.
    FMs are specific to the requirement. Like all Business Partner related FMs generally start with BUPA* or BAPI_BUPA*.
    For CRM transaction data you can get info using FM CRM_ORDER_READ. To create a new transaction use CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN and CRM_ORDER_SAVE.
    More information can be fetched by surfing through the SDN threads and checking in SE37 t-code.
    Hope this helps!
