Difference between varient configuration and super bom

hi gurus
i want to know the difference between varient configuration and super bom??
i think as per my knowledge it is same.
but my friend says both are different.
award points
enjoy

hi,
Variant Configuration : You do not need to create a separate material for each variant of a product in your company. You can use one configurable material to cover all variants. You create a super BOM and a super routing for this material, containing all the components and operations for producing all variants of the product.
Super BOM : The bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).
<b>This is why BOMs for configurable materials are known as super BOMs.</b>

Difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro

what is the difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro?

Hi Rohit,
With the component configuration, you can control the behavior of each individual component within a Web Dynpro application or the user interface of individual views. For each component, several records of configuration data can be created.
Using the application configuration, it is now possible to assign the configuration required in the current application to all the components used.
In short : Component Config belongs to WDP Component and Appl'n Config. belongs to WDP Appl'n.
Check this document for more information.

Difference between Variant Configuration and iPPE

Dear All,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the Variant Configuration and iPPE(Integrated Process and Product Engineering).
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Hai Rajesh
The SAP standard system have the following user profiles:
S_ASTACT (Process Structure)
Part of the S_PPEALL profile; calls up a process structure as an application tree in the detail area of the iPPE Workbench Professional.
S_ASTCMP (Product Structure)
Part of the S_PPEALL profile; calls up a product structure as an application tree in the detail area of the iPPE Workbench Professional.
while creating the user profile - settings for relationship , model definition . environment , reports.
u can try using the Process and Product profile in IDES as I am exploring on iPPE.
is this iPPE scenario going to use in SAP PS or in cProjects.
ENJOY SAP PS.

Difference between plan,actual and target in order

hi
plz tell me ans.
In the manufacturing order WHAT is the difference PLAN, ACTUAL and TARGET.
In the CK11N, we will estimate plan cost for one finished product but in order we are taking 2 costing variant that is PRODUCTION ORDER PLANDED (PPP1) and PRODUCTION ORDER ACTUAL(PPP2) . in the ORDER calculation which is taken as an account and tell me their functionality separately
thank u
sowmya

Plan Cost means this is the cost of Product or Material or Activity or any others statistical price which we estimate and Plan prices for organizations future activities.
Actual cost is the original/Actual cost we incurred for Product or Material or Activity or any other.
Target cost are the costs that are expected for a certain operating rate. It is the dynamic value which will be calculated on the basis Operating rate (Operating rate = (Actual activity / Plan activity) X 100), and It is a consistent basis useful for comparisons of the plan and actual costs of a period.
Ex:
we plan $110 per hour of Labor activity.
but we incurred $125 as actual cost.
for this Target cost is (125/110)*100=113
We use Costing variant for plan to calculate plan price of Order.
when order is created system posts planned costs to the order according to standard cost estimate of product, which uses the planned cost variant.
when the production is carried out Actual costs are posted to the order using Costing variant for actual. when order is completed system uses this two values to calculate the variance of production order. which can be settled to FI.
Hope U got...

What's the difference between SharePoint configuration and farm configuration

As the title shows, I feel confused on this two concepts. Could someone please give me an easy understanding answer? I am writing a report about SharePoint assessment. A lot of new things to learn to such a fresh hand as me.

When I look at it, they're one in the same. It is a "SharePoint Farm Configuration".

CF Installations :Key differnces between Multiserver configuration and J2EE Configuration

Hi,
Can anyone give the important differences between Multiserver
configuration and J2EE Configuration installations?..

Hello Dalibor,
While the service account user object has Use DES selected it would appear your user session is still sending the AS Java an RC4 service ticket. This might occur if your user had requested a service ticket before Use DES was selected, or before that setting had replicated to the appropriate domain controller. The fix might be as simple and logging out and logging back in now that some time has passed.
You could also download the Microsoft kerbtray utility and inspect the service ticket enc type to validate this. kerbtray can also be used to clear old tickets and is generally useful for troubleshooting this kind of thing.
Thanks!

The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

hi,
what is the difference between system restore and last good known configuration.
in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
very short answer wil be enough.
thanks
johan
h.david

Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

Difference between delivery related and order related billing

Hello Friends,
Kindly explain the difference between delivery related and order related billing with an example. Thanks

The billing relevance is controlled by item category of material, which u have assigned to sales document type.
For example
1.item category TAN
Billing relevance is A- Standard-Delivery-related billing document
So in standard order of material which has to get delivered, we will bill it on its delivery. So billing relevance is delivery related billing.
2.BVN
In cash sales item category is BVN whose billing relevance is Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty.
So here we will bill the customer from sales order only, no need to go to delivery.
DONT FORGT TO REWARD POINTS IF THIS ANSWER SATISFIES YOU.
Thanks

Is there any actual difference between Release, Debug and Debug Local configurations in SSRS project?

Is there any actual difference between Release, Debug and Debug Local configurations in SSRS project?
For example in VC++ Debug build would have all optimization turned off (by default) and included additional Debug information in executable.
Since there is no executable produced for SSRS - is there any actual difference between configurations? Or are they only for the purpose of deploying to different destination servers?

Hi JoeSchmoe115,
The Project Configuration and Configuration Manager is a feature supported by Visual Studio, on which Business Intelligence Development Studio or SQL Server Data Tools is based. We can use Configuration Manager to create and manage sets of project properties
in project configurations. You are right that the project configurations is only for deployment purpose in a Report Server project.

Difference between open loop and closed loop mode when finding the index on a stepper motor axis.

I have a test system which uses a PXI-7352 motion controller with a MID-7602 stepper motor drive to position a 200 step/revolution stepper motor with an attached 1000 line encoder. The MID-7602 is configured for 64 microsteps per step, giving 12,800 microsteps and 4000 encoder counts per revolution. The system is controlled using LabView 7.1 and NI-Motion 6.13. To home the motor, I've defined a sequence in MAX which first finds the reverse limit switch and then moves forward to the encoder index pulse.
When finding its reference in open loop mode, the system its reference at the same microstep each time. When findings its reference in closed loop mode, the system finds its reference somewhere within about a 20 microstep wide range.
I hope somebody out there with more experience with this controller can describe the difference between finding the encoder index in open loop mode and finding the encoder index in closed loop mode.
Thanks,
Mark Moss

Hello Mark,
I suspect that the behavior you are experiencing has today
with the resolution difference between your encoder and your
microstepping. Let me illustrate with an
example:
Example Setup
Stepper
Motor
NI
Motion Controller
10
steps per encoder pulse (Every 10 steps the controller gets an encoder
pulse, therefore positions 0-9 all appear to be 0 to the controller)
The
system has a maximum of 3 pull in moves set
Open Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
Closed Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is still at position 0
because it has not received an encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 0, it sends another 9 pulses
as its first pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 18.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends1 reverse pulse
as its second pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 17.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends and additional
single reverse pulse as its third pull in move.
The
motor moves to its final position of 16.
I believe something similar is happening with your
application as it looks for the index pulse.
Because the controller does not compensate for what it perceives as
position error in open loop mode, the motor always goes to the same commanded
position. In closed loop mode, the motor
is bouncing around inside the single index encoder pulse trying to find a
certain position.
There are several recommendations I can make towards
correcting this behavior. These
recommendations are in order of effectiveness:
Setup
your system so that there are more encoder counts per revolution than
steps per revolution.
Turn
off pull-in moves by setting them to 0 in MAX.
Use an
open loop configuration.
Play
around with the pull in window in MAX.

Troubleshooting hints - differences between development environment and release environment

Hello,
I am using LabVIEW 8.6 for an application involving stepper motors. We are using 2 Velmex stepper motor systems to run PIR targets for a manufacturing test. The problem I am having is that the program runs fine in the states where it was developed but hangs approximately every 10th run when running in the manufacturing environment in China. Since I am on the EAst coast there is the 12 hour time delay, and I am planning on doing a live support call to find out what is going on. The person who installed the code made some modifications, but I am not aware of the differences. He also may send his code here and see how it runs.
The assumption I am making (based on past experiences from here in the States) is that the stepper motor interface is hanging. since I can't recreate the problem here I can't troubleshoot it.
With a past prooject I was working I did some code on one machine, and when I ran it on a different machine the order of execution for items in a sequence was different between the machines. Has anyone run into this before? Unfortunately for the task at hand the stepper motor has to run at the same time that analog data on multiple channels are being acquired.
Any suggestions?
Mike
Mike

Thanks for the reply. I did think about putting in a producer-consumer. It turns out that there was a problem with the computer it was being run on. The computer was changed and the problem got better, although it did not go away. The stepper motor was done through a com port talking to another hardware / software solution. The tasks are truly independent and pass no data between them. However, the other task being run involves collecting analog data and updating on a chart (and in one instance stimulating an analog output), and when the stepper motor starts the analog data collection is not updated on the chart. I figure this could be because the charts are a memory hog. No data is lost, and it is running, so I figure if it's not broke don't fix it. It now occasionally locks up. I can run it here for 100 times with zero lock ups, and the last report I got was it ran 30 times in china before locking up. I may have to start examining differences between their machine and my machine.
Now as to the configuration management. It needs to be clarified a wee bit. I'm doing the initial code development / updating, and then we hand off to china, which can make code tweaks as needed. They also have 3 lines running this program, and one of the items I did was to load the differences between lines from configiration files (INI files), and that I got working well. We have fixture variables, items that vary between lines, and configuration items, which are I/O lines and what not. The digital I/O and analog I/O referenced MAX tasks, and that worked well. There are also a com port call for the stepper motor, and in another program an RF power meter, which had to be referenced from an INI file. I will reccomend that they do their code development on one machine and create executables to store on the production lines. We have been bouncing code back and forth from the team members from the states that are currently in china doing the install.

Difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing

Hi,
Guru's
What is the difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing in product costing.

Dear Manish,
Repetitive Manufacturing
In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and
order-specific processing). A quantity of one product is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim products are generally not stocked. In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the recording of actual data is kept simpler. Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the
consumer packaged goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.
You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales order-oriented environment, such as found in the automotive industry.
Discrete Manufacturing
Discrete manufacturing is characterized by requirements that occur on an irregular basis and a workshop-oriented process.
The Discrete Manufacturing scenario can be used in different variants, production by lot size, make-to-order production and assembly processing. The variants differ mainly in the type of planning conducted before-hand and in the relation to the sales order. Production by lot size is identified by the grouping of requirements into lots during requirements planning, and by planning with existing basic data. Production by lot size is independent of a particular sales order. Make-to-order production describes the production of a material with reference to a particular sales order. The manufactured quantities are managed, in terms of stock, directly for the individual sales order. They cannot be exchanged with the stock of other sales orders. Starting from the sales order, single-item planning can be allowed as far down the bill of material (BOM) structure as you like. Assemblies and
components can also be procured for the sales order that generates the requirements, and managed in stock for this sales order. If the product is a configurable product, the system chooses a variant for the customer based on the characteristics that he or she selects. A sales order BOM can then be generated for the sales order. This BOM is used to produce the product.
Assembly processing is a form of make-to-order production, in which the production order (assembly order) is created together with the sales order. In assembly processing the components for the product have, in general, already been produced. They only need to be assembled. The advantage of assembly processing is that an availability check is carried out for the components when you create the sales order. This increases the reliability with which dates can be confirmed
considerably. Changes to the sales order are automatically also made in the production order and vice-versa.
And also you can follow the below link to know more about REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING its a pdf document from help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/PPREM/PPREM.pdf
One More Example
Repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is making 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.

Difference between Master Idoc and Communication Idoc.

Can anyone list out the difference between Master Idoc and Communication Idoc?

IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions: each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database. Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions.
Form and content: IDoc terminology
As is often the case with proprietary technologies, SAP assigns specific, object-oriented meanings to familiar terms. When referring to IDocs, the term document refers to a set of data comprising a functional group of records with a business identity. (For example, all the data in a purchase order, or all the profile information of a supplier in a supplier master record.)
A message refers to the contents of a specific implementation of an IDoc; its a logical reference. This differs from a reference to the IDoc itself, which specifies the messages physical representation. Think of it this way: If youre watching a parade pass by, the mayor waving to the crowd from his limousine is the message, and the mayors limousine (which is specific to the mayor) is the IDoc. Youre building a logical object, and the IDoc is both its container and the vehicle that moves it.
The IDoc control record
Each IDoc has a single control record, always the first record in the set. The structure of this record describes the content of the data records that will follow and provides administrative information, such as the IDocs functional category (Message Type/IDoc Type), as well as its origin (Sender) and destination (Receiver) as in conventional EDI
Layout of an IDoc control record
This cover slip format informs the receiving system of the IDocs purpose, and the receiving system uses it to determine the correct processing algorithm for handling the arriving IDoc.
Data records
The data records following the control record are structured alike, including two sections: a segment information section and a data section.
In the first part of a data record, the segment information section describes the structure of the data that follows, for the benefit of the IDoc processor. There is a segment name (like an EDI segment identifier) that corresponds to a data dictionary structure to which the IDoc processor has access. The remaining information is useful for foreign systems, such as a partner companys Oracle system, which has no such data dictionary.
The second part of the record is the data itself, a storage area of 1,000 characters.
Status records
If youve ever ordered a package from a faraway location and tracked its progress using the Internet-based tracking utilities now provided by most major parcel carriers, youre familiar with the list of stops and transfer points through which a package passes on its way to you.
This collection of records is exactly what youll see in an IDoc that has begun its work. Following the data records in an IDoc, status records accumulate as an IDoc makes its way from one point in a process to another.
Typically, an IDoc will acquire several of these records as its does its job. They are simple records, consisting of a status code (there are more than 70 codes, covering a broad range of conditions and errors), a date/time stamp, and some additional status information fields for system audit purposes. In addition, as errors occur in the processing of an IDoc, status records are used to record these errors and the date/time of their occurrence.
IDoc Base
IDocs, as data formatting tools, enable the easy sharing of data between databases and applications within a company as well as being an efficient data courier between companies. Typically in SAP, a database of IDoc definitions exists, to which any application may have access.
This IDoc Base gives all the applications and processes in your company domain the capacity to send, receive, and process a document in a contextually appropriate way, without doing anything to the data. For example, a purchase order IDoc can filter through every process it touches, passing from system to system, accumulating status records to track its progress.
Every department using the data can use it appropriately without any cumbersome intermediate processes, because each department draws its key to interpreting the IDoc from the same source.
Multiple messages
One cumbersome feature of conventional EDI is the embedding of more than one functional record type in a document. The unwieldy X-12 888 Item Maintenance transaction set is an example: It purports to handle so many different configurations of product master data that it is horrifically difficult to integrate into an existing system.
IDocs, on the other hand, handle multiple messages with ease. Given the centralized IDoc interpretation that SAP provides to all its parts, its no problem to define an IDoc that will contain more than one message, that is, more than one data record type.
A customer master IDoc, for example, may contain customer profile information records for a customer with many locations. But it may also contain location-specific pricing information records for that customer in the same document. This is an incredibly efficient way of bundling related records, particularly when passing large amounts of complex information from system to system Records in a multiple-message IDoc

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer

About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer
MyServices Professional is different from MyServices Consumer in the following ways:
There are Common Tasks links on the home page for Order on Behalf and for Authorizations (if the Authorization portlet is enabled in the user's profile).
Automatically grants the Order on Behalf permission for all people in the Home OU of the MyServices Professional user.
Adds the "Authorizations for Others" view on the Authorizations page. This view allows the MyServices Professional user to view -- but not perform -- all Authorizations for people in their Home OU.
See the attached file for more detail and screenshots of: MyServices Consumer with and without the Order on Behalf link displayed, and Requisition and Authorization list views; MyServices Professional Home page with and without the Authorizations portlet visible, and Requisition and Authorization list views.
Note: RequestCenter 2006 cannot be configured to automatically add users to MyServices Professional on creation of their user record via directory integration. This can be accomplished in RC2007, since roles can be imported from LDAP in that version.

Hi Koji,
One thing to consider is the number of different source types. BO supports SAP and all the relational DBs. There is also the fact that BO provides a single front end to different reporting type which makes the user experience much better. Finally, users ability to build there own reports, without a high level of traiining is one of the big selling points for BO.
Here is a good overview of the combination of the 2 , including some roadmap
