Difference between Material Specs and Inspection Plan

Hi ALL,
Whats the difference between Material Specifications and Inspection plan...?...Why Material Specification is required in QM...?
Thanks & Regards,
Ameya K.

Hi Ameya,
 The first thing is that material spec is the client level data in QM where as Inspection plan is the plant level.

Case 1: Suppose that there is an attribute Viscosity whivh needs to be checked whose UCL & LCL is 10 to 15. But in one plant where some highy precise requirement is there ...... then in that case we want that for that plant for the material viscocity should be 5 to 7 . In that case the requirement of the inspection plans comes in to picture .
Case 2 : The material got one extra attribute needs to be checked for some plant .... in that case we need to maintain inspection plan for that material with both Insp with material spec & insp with inspection plan need to be checked so that during the result recording apart from the attributes in the material spec this extra attribute gets populated from inspection plan
Note : Apart from this as in material spec the data is maintained in the client level the load in the database will be compartively less as there will not be any duplication of data which will be there in case of plant level data for the same material ..........
I hope this will add some info apart from what the gurus has suggested above .....
Please reward points if helpful.....
Thanks & Regrads

Difference between standard SOP and Flexible planning

Hi, Pls explain the difference between Standard SOP (sales and Operation planning) and flexible planning?

Hi,
Following links will help you to understand.
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=20534538&messageID=6314185
The contents are as below :
Steps
1) Create Planning for material MC87
2) Copy to Active Version MC78
3) Transfer to Demand Mangement MC74
B) STD sop for Product Group
Here also the Characteristics are same material->product group
You have to maintain master data Product group
steps:
1) Create Product Group MC84
2) Create Plan for Product Group MC81
3) Disaggregate Product Group Plan MC76
4) Copy to active version MC78
5) Transfer to Demand Management mc75 for Pg or mc74 for material

Difference between BPS, MAP and Integrated Planning

HI Experts,
We have a plan to implement the BPS (Business Planningand Simulation) and MAP (Merchandise and Assortment Planning) in retail.
In our BI 7.0 can i use Business Planning (Integrated Planning) or i need to go for BPS and MAP individually.
Pls suggest me.
Best Regards,
Rams.

You also have BPS in Bi 7. Points to consider:
1. Future development and new functionalities will be deliverred on IP framework, though you can use old BPS in BI7.
2. IP does not some of the features that BPS has, but hoping that SAP will deliver them down the road.

Relation between Payment term and Billing Plan

Hi All,
I have gone through series of thread on Milestone billing and the Billing plan concept is understood but still I have a confusion regarding the relation between Payment Term that we maintain in OBB8 and the Billing plan that we maintain. practically both seems same.
For ex. Milestone Linked plan where 30% payment to be received on the completion of X work and 70% on the completion of Z work. what should be the payment term for this kind of milestone billing?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Binita Joshi

Hi,
First there is one major difference between payment terms and billing plan.
Payment terms will come into effect once billing is done, based on the conditions of payment terms system decides whether a certain line item is not due or overdue.
Billing plan on the other hand decides when to bill the first installment and when to bill second installment and final payment etc.
For example:
for a order with billing plan has total value of INR 1000
date                         Mile stone             percentage        Amount
21.10.2011             Advance               10%                       100
31.10.2011             installation              30 %                     300
15.11.2011             Handing over         40 %                    400
30.11.2011             Final invoice           20%                      200
System will create 4 invoices according to billing plan.
Once the bill is created according to payment terms FBL5n will show the status as not due/ overdue
Hope this helps.

Difference between Simple maintanence and Export mode and Organisation plan

Hi all,
Can any one please explain the difference between Simple maintanence and Export mode and organisational plan in SAP easy access.
Thanks & Regards,
Naga

Expert Mode Infotype Maintenance: This interfaces allows you to edit individually selected objects in OM (Org Units, Positions, Jobs) via infotypes.
Expert Mode: Simple Maintenance Interface (PPOM_OLD) is used to quickly create a new Organizational Plan. As a user, you can pretty much maintain large volumes of data very easily ( i.e create several objects simultaneously), without having to go through the more "Performance Intensive" Org and Staffing interface.
In accessing the Simple Maintenance interface to create your org structure, the initial screen requires you to specify which evaluation path you want to create your org structure.
Organizational Plan: This is what provides you with a complete picture of an enterprise's environment. It comprises elements (objects like Org Units, Positions, Jobs etc) which are used as building blocks for creating an Organizational structure.
Need more information? Let me know.

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Difference between unique constraint and unique index

1. What is the difference between unique constraint and unique index when unique constraint is always indexed ? Which one is better in this case for better performance ?
2. Is Composite index of 3 columns x,y,z better
or having independent/ seperate indexes on 3 columns x,y,z is better for better performance ?
3. It has been very confusing for me to decide which columns to index, I have indexed most foreignkey columns, is it a good idea ? We do lot of selects and DMLS on most of our tables. Is there any query that I can run and find out if indexes are really being used and if they are improving any performance. I have analyzed and computed my indexes using ANALYZE index index_name validate structure and COMPUTE STATISTICS;
null

1. Unique index is part of unique constraint. Of course you can create standalone unique index. But is is no point to skip the logical view of business if you spend same effort to achive.
You create unique const. Oracle create the unique index for you. You may specify index characteristic in unique constraint.
2. Depends. You can't utilize the composite index if the searching condition is not whole or front part of the indexing key. You can't utilize your index if you query the table for y=2. That is.
3. As old words in database arena, Index may be good or bad for a table depending on the size of table, number of columns in the table... etc. It is very environmental dependent. In fact, It is part of database nomalization. Statistic is a way oracle use to determine the execution plan.

Difference between Transaction Figures and Line Items

Hi,
I gone through FI like FI-GL,FI-AR,FI-AP..there i find...
Line Items & Transaction figures as main...like
in FI we have
Line Items - 0FI_GL_4,0FI_AR_4,0FI_AP_4 etc...
Transaction Figures - 0FI_GL_6,0FI_AR_6,0FI_AP_6 etc...
Now Can some please explain...
what exactly Line Items are?
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
How data flows from end to end in FI? i.e where exactly GL,AR,AP comes into picture..how they are internally related?
Some one please explain me in detail (with expamles if possible) and quick reply is much appreciated...
Regards
Ramsunder

Hi
What exactly line items :
Line items are document items that were posted to a specific account. In contrast to a document item a line item only contains the information from the document that is relevant from the account view.
You can display the following line items:
Open items, Cleared items, Noted items, Parked items ,Items with special G/L transactions (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable),Items with customer or vendor items (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)
You can display the line items for the following account types: Customer accounts,Vendor accounts,G/L accounts.
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
Transaction figures are the sums of line items on the debit or credit side. The balance is the difference between the debit and the credit transaction figure.
If you take General ledger
AP records all accounting transactions for dealings with suppliers(Vendors). Much of its data is obtained from procurement (Materials Management).
AR records all accounting transactions for dealings with customers. Much of its data is obtained from Sales and Distribution.
Asset Accounting records all accounting transactions relating to the management of assets.
Travel Management manages and calculates travel costs and supports travel planning and travel expenses.
Bank ledger supports the posting of cash flows.

Difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule

Hi SD Experts
can u say me the clear difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule.
where we will maintain deliver schedule. whether delivery schedule is automatically created along scheduling agreements..
with regards
James

Hi James,
Schedule Lines: Has basically information realted to delivery scheduling in Sales Order level.
Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.
Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
We give deatils while creating order:
Order Creation Date
Required Delivery Date
Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date.
Give your mail Id I have some Presentation I will send you across.

What are the major differences between UCCX v7 and v8.0.2

Does anyone know of a matrix or document which shows the major differences between UCCX v7 and v8.0.2?
I have looked high and low, even searched this forum, but have not found anything.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,
I have awarded you both with the 'correct answer'.
I went through, painstakingly, the documents I was linked to above and compared.
In the end the major differences are pretty much what you have outlined here - which is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you both very much.

Difference between inbound delivery and Goods Receipt

Can any one explain difference between inbound delivery and goods Receipt??

Hi dear,
Inbound delivery is one confirmation used to indicate the expected goods receipts in advance, so that the related process partners like warehouse personnel , planning personnel can utilise this data for initiation of actions and planning. Also , we can make this confirmation relevant to Planning in the customisation, to enhance the performance.
In general , we need confirmations only as a kind of assurance/information , in absence of the goods.
But if the goods are received physically , obviously we do not need any confirmations , we would perform the goods receipt .
When working with Inbound delivery , the goods receipt is done with respect to specific inbound delivery( though not compulsary to do so) , so that the integration done in the system works to the advantage of the users.

Important differences between oracle 10g and 11g

Hi friends, can anyone tell me (pointwise) what are the major (and minor) differences between Oracle 10g and 11g.
Please point me to some documents if possible.
Thanks in advance

The name of the link says it all: "top_features."
In short it is Oracle's list of what they have for marketing and sales reasons designated "top features."
It is not intended to be, and is not, a complete list of features. Often the features Oracle does not
talk about are the most important.
Let me give you some examples. I have never seen Oracle announce DBMS_XPLAN as a new feature
yet you should not run an explain plan without it. Neither have I ever seen Oracle announce the new
NO_DATA_NEEDED predefined exception. I have listed literally hundreds of new features you will not
find in Oracle's new features docs.
I did a presentation at OpenWorld this year as part of the unconference titled "New Features in
Database 11gR2 that Oracle will not announce." It was easy to prepare a one hour presentation with
little fear of being proved incorrect. As I turned out only one of the features I presented was mentioned
by Oracle.
You can find the presentation slides here:

Differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI and Question BAM Data Objects

Hi,
I have two questions.
1. Can someone tell me differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI?
My understanding about Oracle BAM is, we use BAM to build Dashboards or Reports.
We can also build DashBoards or reports using Oracle BI.
I am not able to understand why Oracle has two tools for same purpose?
Which tool is more powerful and user friendly(Oracle BI or Oracle BAM)?
2. Every time we plan to develop Dashboard or report in BAM, we need to create BAM ADC Data Object to store Data (i.e first step is to get data from external database or application and second step is to store data in BAM ADC data object).
My understanding is we have an extra step(i.e creating Data Object) in Oracle BAM to develop a report or DashBoard
I am wrong pl correct me?

Shanti Nagulapalli.

Oracle 11g has many advanced features in PL/SQL over Oracle 9i.

Difference between Drilldown report and Interactive report

There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
You can produce both simple, data-directed lists (basic reports) and complex, formatted lists in drilldown reporting (form reports).
Drilldown report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data. For example, you can jump to the next level of detail or the next report object on the same level, hide individual levels and switch between the detail and drilldown lists. It also provides a number of additional functions which let you process lists interactively (sorting, conditions, ranking lists, and so on). SAP Graphics, SAPmail and the Excel List Viewer are also integrated into drilldown reporting.
The drilldown functions are divided into three groups which differ in the number of functions available. That way each user can choose the functional level most suited for his requirements.
In addition to the online functions for displaying reports, drilldown reporting also provides functions which let you print reports. A number of formatting functions are available to let you determine the look of your printed reports (page breaks, headers and footers, underscores, and so on).
The menus and the functions available directly on the drilldown report make it easy to use the information system.
What is an Interactive Report?
An interactive report generally works in the following fashion:
1. Basic list is displayed.
2. User double clicks on any valid line
    or
    User selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar.
3. The corresponding event is triggered
4. Then in the code, the line on which action was done, is read.
5. Depending on the values in that selected line, a secondary list is displayed.
6. Steps from 2-5 are repeated till the end.
From the above explanation, I believe, its clear that, the 20th list, will essentially depend on the "selected line" of 19th list. According to your question, you want to move to 20th list directly, without "a prior list". May I know the exact requirement so that, an appropriate solution can be suggested?
Again, your question was, how to move to 20th list directly on pressing of execute button. Its not possible to move to 20th list. You must cross over a basic list, before you can go to a different list level, using the code given by Pavan.
What are Drilldown reports?
The lines of basic list of a drilldown report when clicked, will take the user to the corresponding (standard) object's display.
For eg: Suppose your report's primary component is purchase requisition, (assume you are printing PR details), and the basic list displays details of many PRs.
Eg: when clicked on a particular line of the PR basic list, it takes you to std t-code me53 (display of purchase requisition). This is the 'Drill-down' functionality.
For this, in the at-line selection of your program, as per the above ex: you'll set the parameter ID of PR number BAN (that you can get from Data element) in memory (using set parameter id) and then calling the corresponding transaction (usually skipping initial screen of the std t-code).
Likewise, if it's Material Number (Matnr), you'll be displaying MM03 transaction w.r.t. the line's matnr.
AKSHAT..........

Good, information. But I think you should post these items in Wiki, in place of forum, as here we have Qns & Ans; problems and solutions.
