Difference between Plannnig Horizon and Production Horizon

Hai Can somebody explain me the difference between "Planning Horizon and Production Horizon"?
Here is the text that led me to this question:
"If the Production Horizon of SNP is smaller than PP/DS horizon, the planning horizons of SNP and PP/Ds overlap with each other." In this horizon, SNP determines the receipts with most cost effective sources of supply and lot sizes and PP/DS receipts generated by SNP in more detail.

check the following entries in Product master
The SNP production horizon is maintained on the SNP 2 tab page in the product master (transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1).
It also appears in the PPDS tab page along with PPDS horizon
The PPDS Planning horizon and PPDS Production horizon are the same. PPDs only plans inside this Horizon.
What is outside the SNP production Horiozon lies in the SNP planning horizon. Actually thought the name is a bit misleading - SNP does not plan anything inside the production horizon.
If you do not enter a value or you enter the duration 0 for the PP/DS horizon, the system automatically uses the SNP production horizon as the PP/DS horizon during planning. Therefore, the PP/DS horizon is exactly the same length as the SNP production horizon and this means that the SNP and PP/DS planning periods follow on from each other seamlessly and without overlapping.
If the SNP production horizon is smaller than the PP/DS horizon, the planning horizons of SNP and PP/DS overlap. SNP and PP/DS can both use this overlapping period for planning.
A gap between the end of the PP/DS horizon and the start of the SNP planning period is a time segment that is neither planned by PP/DS nor SNP. This can lead to inconsistencies.
So think of two lines - one with its right side shaded(PPDS) and the other with its left side(SNP) shaded. Depending on where you place these lines the shaded sections get planned. how you get the two regions to mesh will ensure the effectivity of your plan
you can also get a better understanding looking at the product view screen and changing the product master values for the horizons and running heuristics

Difference between process order and Production order

Hi Experts,
Can any buddy tell me the difference between process order and production order. Why process order is used for process industries. Why do we use recipe for it and routing for production order ?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
There is a difference between production order and process order.
Supposing a 10,000 lit tank is being manufactured in discrete manufacturing. You have to follow the necessary routing steps and can make by physically seeing its development stage by stage. For this type production you can have a production order.
In case of process of order if some chemical in a reactor is loaded with intial temp of 30 C and need to be heated to 80 C then there is phase change. Hence we use Heating as an operation and the change of temp is phase. For such type of process we process order.
Hope this is useful. Pl reward.

AppID during application update and Difference between app id and product id

Hi
I understand once a app is in store it has a associated Appid. How does this differs from the product id?
During each app update does the product id's should be same?
or during the store certification process will the appid and the product ids be mapped?
How does the product id and App id differ if this is not the case?
Can you provide some article which actually explains what is the difference between XAP uploaded and xap after certification?
Regards
Varun
Varun Ravindranath Please 'Mark as Answer' if my post answers your question and 'Vote as Helpful' if it helps you.

Hi
In that case the dev account from which the update is done will have the unique id or appid and the appid or the product id mapping will be always done by the store certification process.
I'm not clear on this part whether the developer who does the update of the app should update the id or the process which does the certification of the app as an update will update automatically do it?.

Difference between Time dimension and product(regular) dimenstion

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the difference between time dimenstiona and regular dimenstion. How can we differentiate and how Oracle bi server knows a dimension
as Time dimenstion.
Thanks,

Hi,
By using Logical Dimensional Structure and chronological keys it identify time or other types of dim.
Just double clik time dimension then you can find the
root type (Time, Ragged and skipped) and for the chronological keys > just double click logical level then select keys tab -- here u can find chronological keys
Thanks

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!

Differences between infrastructure dba and production dba

Hi DBAs,
I have graduated and interested in heading into dba path.
I heard there's 2 kind of dba, infrastrucrue dba and production dba. can anyone advise what's the differences as i'm new to working society?
heard that the infrastructure dbas are actually task to setup the database infrastructure in r&d environment and tested it before deploying it to production site through raising instructions for production dba to do it. Most of the their time is commited to co-ordinate project between the application team and production team.
please advise.
thanks

Infrastructure is the same as a development DBA sort of.....
But Infrastructure sort of Architects the system too. Think of a RAC system. He might recommend the RAC, design the interconnects, decide what storage and HBA's to use. You get the idea.
Production is the one who gets pages when the system goes down. They generally maintain the system day to day and apply patches, setup backups etc...

Difference between Material Repository and Product Repository

Hi Guys,
Can you please explain the difference between the Product Repository and Material Repository.
Thanks,
Sandy.

Hello,
The MDM Products repository is structured to maintain the "sell- side" of the organization, meaning these are the products that the organization sells.
The MDM Material repository, however, is structured to maintain the "buy- side" of the organization, meaning these are the raw materials that the organization buys in order to produce/ manufacture its products.
These differences are also seen in the schema -the data elements that are maintained for each repository.

Difference between DEVELOPMENT mode and PRODUCTION MODE.

Hi Gurus,
We installed oracle 11g Fusion on our machines and while creating a soa domain we selected development mode, then our B2B performance is completely slow then we later changed it to Production mode, then it was pretty good.
While installing weblogic (10.3..3), which One you prefer and JDK(Jrockit 4 or jdk 1.6.0021)
While installing SOA and ADF after running a config.sh file it will prompt for JDK( Which one is preferble)
And same as while creating a SOA domain which one you prefer (JDK or Jrockit)
Regards
RAJ

Hi Raj,
As the name indicates, Development mode should be chosen for development environments where load is not too heavy and performance/throughput may be slow but all the features will be same as production mode. Production mode is used on a licensed software and it gives better performance and throughput, even it may bear the heavy load as well.
For Development environment (Dev mode) you should use sun JDK and for production mode JRockit should be used.

Anuj

Difference Aetween Overhead Cost and Product Cost

Sir,
What is the difference between Overhead Cost and Product Cost
Thanking You
Juhi

Product cost indicates the cost of making a product which includes
1) materials (contained in the BOM)
2) labour (specified in the routing)
3) Overheads (charged via costing sheet).
1) and 2) are directly identifiable to the product made.
3) is not possible to directly associate to a making of product. This is more a common cost. Eg. Material handling charges. The material handling department, say, employs a few workers to do material transfer from warehouse, their cost is hard to associate to a particular production order. Hence, usually a percentage is applied , where in the order is charged proportionate to use of materials in that order. The corresponding credit is given to the Material handling departmnet/cost center.

Difference between SNP horizon, SNP production horizon and PP/DS horizon

I am new to this world of SCM and confused about SNP horizon, SNP production horizon and PP/DS horizon. May I ask for assistance in garbing the concept using some example flows in business scenarios.
Thank you

Hi Rohit,
SNP Production Horizon is the time horizon in which SNP and CTM (Capable to Match) do not plan production. SNP Production Horizon can be maintained in days, weeks and months.
SNP Production Horizon can be seen in ‘SNP 2’ tab of product master in APO
For example if SNP Production Horizon is mentioned as 21 days - Therefore, up to 21 days (from system date) SNP will not plan production and only after SNP Production Horizon (21 days), SNP (or CTM) will create receipts. Planning within this time period (system date till SNP Production Horizon) is typically done by PPDS planning which plans for the short-term horizon.
PPDS Horizon is the time horizon during which PPDS can automatically delete, change or create orders. It is created in calendar days and counting starts from present date into future. (Deletion and change is possible only for unfirmed orders.)
PPDS Horizon is maintained in the ‘PP/DS’ tab of the product master in APO:
Also for overlap scenarios -
SNP Prod Horizon < PPDS Horizon: In this type of setup, PP/DS considers and takes care of SNP Planned Orders in the overlap period and plans accordingly.
SNP Prod Horizon = PPDS Horizon: SNP Planned Orders will be converted into PP/DS Planned Orders after they enter PPDS Horizon.
SNP Prod Horizon > PPDS Horizon: In this type of setup neither SNP nor PPDS will plan production. Though planner can manually create orders in this horizon also.
Hope it helps.

Alok

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.

I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

Hello Karen,
If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders. Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs. Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

Difference between like profile and relignment

Hello Friends,
Difference between like profile and relignment ?
useing like profile we can generate stat forecast for new product ,where as in relignment we can generate new cvcs if iam wrong pl correct me and iam looking for more details

Sivaram,
The Key differences between Like profile and Realignment are:
1. For Like profile to work, you need to have CVCs for the new product in place before you can execute it.
In realignment, you can create the new CVCs and then copy the data from Old CVC to the new CVC during a realignment run.
2. Like profile does not actually copy the demand history of one product to another and store it in livecache, it merely used the history by referring to the history KF and then generating forecast in the forecast number which does gets written to live cache.
Whereas using realignment, you can do copy history from old CVC to the new CVC or for that matter any KF data can be copied from old CVC to new CVC that throughout the history and forecast horizons.
3. Like profile works hand in hand with Statistical forecasting functionality of APO.
Whereas Realignment is independent of Forecasting.

Planning horizon and scheduling horizon

hi gurus
what is the difference beween planning horizon and scheduling horizon
and how it will effect on production planning/MRP
pls give me a detailed answer
Faisal

hi,
planning horizon
planning horizon specifies the period for the "Net change planning in the planning horizon".
In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to MRP within the planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials receive a net change planning indicator in the planning file.
The length of the planning horizon should include at least the following:
the period in which sales orders are received
the delivery periods
the total lead times of the materials
re-schedule horizon
Define Rescheduling Horizon
The rescheduling horizon is the period in which System checks whether the existing dates still suit the requirements situation for receipt elements that can no longer be automatically changed in the planning run. If the dates of a particular element are no longer suitable
effect:
If no rescheduling horizon has been maintained, the system will not carry out a rescheduling check.
The system calculates the rescheduling horizon from the end of the replenishment lead time in reorder point planning.

What is difference between bus.Area and plant

dear experts,
what is difference between bus.Area and plant?
thanks
Rajakarthik.

Hi
Plant and Business Area are not the same.
Business Areas are configured in FI module as per the Product lines or geographical operations basis.
Where as The plants created in the logistics (General) module are assigned to the company code. That means all transactions taking place in the plants are posted to the attached company code in SAP FI.
You can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code reporting.
The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area. When you use the R/3 System to automatically draw up accounts for business areas, you can assign only one business area to a combination of plant and division. Plants and divisions can be assigned and combined in several different ways.
