Difference between PDS and PPM and which one should be used for SNP /ppds?

Hi Gurus,
             Just wanted to know what are the difference between PDS and PPM ?
1. For what industrial products we use PDS and PPM in SNP and PPDS?
2. which one can be refered to clients?
Please let me know it will be really great if anyone let me know the answers
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajkumar,
I have given below the detailed comparative account of PDS Vs PPM. Please copy and put it in an excel sheet in different columns and then read which is easy to understand.
PDS
1. Production Data Structure (PDS) in APO 3.1 & Run Time Object (RTO) in 4.0 and above versions
2. Master Data Object
3. Useful for scenarios where the compoenent has got different validity periods
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data from iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) generated from a production version
6. PPDS PDS & SNP PDS can be used as master data for planning
7. Change Management, variant configuration & Phantom assemplies are supported in PDS
8. Sub-contracting in SNP is fully integrated with R/3 is supported in PDS
9. Direct transfer of SNP PDS from R/3 is possible
10.Rapid Planning Matrix can be generated
11. Not possible to maintain PDS directly in APO and can be used only in combination with R/3
12. The transfer of data changes is simpler
13. Not possible to create alternate SNP-PDS in std system for different mode combinations
14. PDS can be automatically generated from two sources ie R/3 and iPPE
PPM:-
1. Production Process Model
2. Master Data Object
3. Cannot be used for scenarios where the component has got different validity period
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data generated from the combination of routing (BoM & receipe) and production versions
6. PPDS PPM & SNP PPM's can be used as master data for planning
7. Not supported by PPM
8. Not supported by PPM
9. Not possible here. SNP PPMs will be generated via PPDS PPMs
10. Not possible
11. PPMs can be directly created in APO and can be modified without R/3 also.
12. Little Complex when compared to PDS
13. Alternate SNP-PPMs can be easily created
14. PPM can be generated automatically generated only from R/3
PDS is used in industries wherein there are multiple components or assemblies having diffeent production versions whose validity periods are different.  PPM is being used typically in process industries, chemical industries.  PPM is very simple in its usage and very flexible in operations in terms of modifications at APO level and can be referred to client depending on the business requirement

  • I want to buy a mac and i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy

    actually i am new to mac so i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy? i will be installing windows 2 on it..

    An MBA is a portable while an iMac is a desktop and is not portable. You could install Windows on either provided each had sufficient memory installed and a large enough hard drive. The iMac is better equipped for this from the outset, but the MBA can be adequately configured if you are willing to spend the money to do so.

  • I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for .

     Dear Team,
    I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for . I have selected  three camera models EOS Rebel T4i DSLR , EOS Rebel T5i DSLR  or EOS 7D please let know the cons and pros of the three cameras and help in buying .
    Regards,
    Kalyan 

    There's not much of a jump from the T4i to the T5i; Canon releases updates to these Rebels so frequently they often lack substance.  Looking at the specs I don't see anything that jumps out at me - I'd grab whichever one I could get cheaper.
    The 7D is a substantial jump up.  Much more sophisticated autofocus.  Faster burst rate, shorter shutter lag, weather sealing, better build, better LCD, viewfinder coverage, etc.  Keep in mind it's the same old sensor, but there's a lot more to a camera than a sensor.   The 7D has been the go to camera of sports enthusiasts for years.
    Edit:  I didn't mean to sound like I was selling the Rebels short, I think they're a great camera for the price, depending on your needs.  There are things that more novice photographers may prefer in a camera over the 7D, like built in flash, or the flip out screen, or in-camera HDR.

  • I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,firefox. Which one should i use

    I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,and Firefox. Which won should i use.'

    That is up to you to decide. For some details about the different versions see https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/04/07/new-development-channels-and-repositories-for-rapid-releases/
    If you have not used to testing software you should stick with the release version (Firefox 4.0.1).

  • I have a TC and 2 AE - which one should I wire ?

    I have a TC and 2 AE and a router with my wired internet connection.
    Should I wire one of the AE or the TC, does it make any difference?

    I would wire the TC if it is used for backups.. wireless repeater (extend wireless in Applespeak) makes wireless double hop and reduces the speed by 1/2. Wireless should always be arranged so there is never more than a single hop.
    If you are just using the TC as another WAP.. then it doesn't really matter. Just be aware every hop adds time, and congestion to the network.

  • Which one should we go for Named Query or Redirect Query???

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of implementing top-links in our project so we are working with different queries of top-links. We have made most of them many of the queries are clear in their concept and implementation. It was a very nice experience working for now. but i have some un-answered questions like
    ---- what is the difference between Redirect query and Named query (Both seems to be the same... to me). we got output using Redirect query but i am totally confused because in documentation it gave that redirect query is used in situation where query is complex and named query cannot be used for it.But i personally feel some things about redirect query .....
    -- Query implementation is itself complex and confusing .
    -- What operations can we do in the static method where we are redirecting the query.
    -- Almost of all the methods in the 'ClassDescriptor ' are deprecated...
    -- Not Much Implementation code is available in Top-link docs nor On-line.
    That's why i am not able to decide which query i must use for a complex query i would prefer named query from myself because of its simplicity and straight forwardness.
    Can any one clear my questions.....
    Many questions in days to come........
    Thanks in Advance

  • Which operator  should i used for loading not matched records

    HI ALL,
    I am just evluate OWB tools.
    and i met a question.
    I need to join two tables A and B with Condition A.id=B.id
    For example,
    A has 1000 records, and B has 100 records,
    what i need to do is
    (1) to get matched 100 record from B to a new table C,
    (2)to get the not matched 900 records from A to another table D.
    By the requirement like above, which operator could i use for?
    I tried to use joined but can not get the record of (2).
    Thanks for your attention.
    Regards

    Hi,Sutirtha
    Thanks for your attention.
    because joiner has only one output group.
    so what you mean is use joiner operator twice?
    One joiner userd to get the matched records,
    and the other used to get unmatched records?
    Thanks

  • Which listener should be used for JTextArea

    Hi,
    I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
    the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
    mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
    get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
    which listener should I use. Sample code would be
    helpful.
    In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
    when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
    such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
    tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
    not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
    work?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pin

    It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
    1.4.
    In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
    "Deprecated".
    Here is what I have:
    JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return false;
    descrptArea.setRows(3);
    descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
    descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // DO SOMETHING
    I found the following code which says it will do it.
    However, I got the exeception:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
    at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
    at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
    at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
    Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
    .VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
    (KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);
    Any idea???
    PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
    try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
    you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
    hope this helps.

  • Why do I have three versions of illustrator and which one should I use?

    Hello,
    I have CC, CC 64 bit, and CC 2014 on my computer.  Is there a difference?  I originally downloaded both CC and CC 64 bit because I didn't know if it mattered or not which one I use.  Then the 2014 version was in creative cloud, and I figured it was an update, but now I have three versions. 
    I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Caleb,
    CC2014 is a new version, which in some ways are closer to the CS versions because some features have been reintroduced.
    If you are happy with CC2014 you may uninstall the others.

  • C3850 WLC enabled and WLC 2504, which one should be Primary controller.

    I have 2 designs to make a better solution, please advise me.
    I have C3850 and WLC 2504.
    1. I will use C3850 as mobility controller (MC) and mobility agent (MA) for WLC 2504. Does it work? or
    2. I will use WLC 2504 as MC and MA for C3850.
    Can I do both of design?
    Which one is better?
    Please recommend me a solution.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi
    2504 (or any legacy WLC) itself having MC/MA & we cannot separate that role on it. You can seperate MC & MA functionality in Converged Access product platforms (3850/3650) only.
    Therefore here are the answer to your queries
    1. You can have a 3850 with MC/MA functionality. But your 2504 will be a separate controller on your mobility domain. You can allow roaming between these two systems configuring them as mobility peers. You cannot register 3850 connected APs to any other controller other than 3850 WLC itself.So you cannot use these two different system as high availability for AP.
    You need to have min 7.6.x  on your 2504 in order to configure mobility between 2504 & Converged Access system.
    Here is a reference post how you configure roaming between 5508 & Converged Access MC (5760/3850/3650)
    http://mrncciew.com/2014/05/06/configuring-new-mobility/
    2. None of the documents listed the 2504 could act as MC for 3850/3650(MA). So my understanding is you should have 5760/5508/WiSM2/8500 as MC. But you can test it & see whether 2504 could act as MC which I doubted.

  • Which infocube should I use for Controlling and Inventory?

    Hi all,
    I have several questions regarding Controlling and Supply chain management infocubes:
    1. We need cost reports for the material ledger in order to meet the Brazilian compliance. I have found two infocubes:
    •CO-PC: Cost Object Controlling (0PC_C01)
    •CO-PC: Actual Costing / Material Ledger – Costs (0COPC_C02)
    What Infocube will help me to create a query that will meet our requirements? Which one is better?
    2.  We need a cost Center summary report, Expenses analysis, by product, cost center, business unit, region, plant, etc. and Expenses period comparison report. Which infocube will provide me that information for those reports, the CO-OM-CCA: Statistical Key Figures (0CCA_C03) or CO-OM-CCA: Costs and Allocations (0CCA_C11)?
    3. What infocube will be needed to generate an inventory report (raw material, semi and finished goods)? Is it the Material Stocks/Movements (as of 3.0B) 0IC_C03?
    Can I get an inventory report from the Purchasing data (0PUR_C01) infocube?
    Thanks a lot
    Vic

    Hi
    1)you need to check the requiered characteristics are available or not from these data sources which supply data to the above said cubes,,2
    2)0CCA_C11
    3)0IC_C03
    You cann't get the inventory report from the purchasing data(purchasing data always talks about the vendor supplying inventory,it never talks about the production inventory)
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • Watch HULU on HDTV - iMac or MacBook Pro? Which one should I use?

    I have this dilemma which computer would perform better on streaming video from the net. I wanna drop the cable company so I have been looking to buy a converter to HDMI with AUDIO included like this: http://www.brilliantstore.com/hdmicables_dekcell_cpa1454.html
    or like this:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495
    but can't make up my mind if I should use the iMac or BMP and they have different video output (Mini-DVI/Mini Display Port). So I could use some feedback on which one you think would handle the project better (speed, resolution... etc.) or if it's make any difference at all, for specs please look below.
    Thank you!

    The Imac and you don't need any converter.
