Difference in B.Ex Analyser and RSRT (T. Code) environment

Hi ppl ,
    I have written the following piece of code The purpose of the code is to return the initial variable selection scrren to the user if the values of Company code or plant are not supplied by the user .
   if i_step = 3.
      clear LOC_VAR_RANGE .
           READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE with key
                              VNAM   = 'ZOMCOMPC'
                              IOBJNM = '0COMP_CODE'.
           l_COMPCODE = LOC_VAR_RANGE-low.
           clear LOC_VAR_RANGE .
           READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE with key
                                      VNAM   = 'ZOMPLANT'
                                      IOBJNM = '0PLANT'.
           l_PLANT = LOC_VAR_RANGE-low.
           if l_compcode is initial and l_plant is initial.
                message i002(00).
           endif.
   endif.
However i cannot get the initial variable selection screen to popup after this execution.There must be some command i am missing . can someone help ?
Also the problem does not end here , this code shows information pop up in RSRT but in the B.Ex environment the popup is totally ignored.Does this happen in BEx. ?
If not can someone tell me to resolve the situation .
Thanks in Advance .
regards ,
Devraj.

Hi ,
    I tried putting the "Greater than" condition on a formula calculated on a KF in the query .But only the "greater than/greater than equal to " conditions are not working.
    I actually require the "greater than" condition for my requirement. Currently i am making do with a round about process i.e
Suppose i need pay > 17
So i am using pay NOT BETWEEN [-11,00000](as it is not taking any other value lesser than this ) AND 17 , which is serving the purpose temporarily.
I am not using the calculated key figure approach as it is also amounting to a design change for my client .I have to use only the Formula.
My questions are
(1) how to make use of a greater than condition in B.Ex. on formula ?
(2) what is the least value supported by B.Ex. in Conditions if i carry on with the second approach ?
Regards ,
Devraj

    what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

    hi
    Bex Browser
    The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
    Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
    · BW workbooks
    · Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
    · Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
    · Links to internet sites (URLs)
    · SAP transaction calls.
    · Web applications and Web templates
    · Crystal Reports
    Bex Analyser
    The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
    Features
    You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
    Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
    You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
    Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
    ·        BEx toolbar
    You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
    ·        Evaluating Query Data
    The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
    Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
    ·        Queries in Workbooks
    Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
    When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
    You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
    ·        Precalculating workbooks
    You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
    Activities
    To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
    You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
    Hope this will solve your issu

  • Differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reportin

    Hello,
    Can anybody explain me the differences between Hyperion Workspace, Web Analysis and Financial Reporting?
    Thank you

    In real simple terms....
    Financial reporting - Perfect for producing standardised monthly reporting such as P&L, balance sheets etc. Highly formatted, print well in PDF format.
    Web Analysis - Highly graphical, web based analysis tool more suited to dashboards, pinboards etc with slice and dice capability.
    Workspace - Common environment where reporting content in deployed. Users can access web anlysis, fin reports, Interactive reports plus other content through the workspace. It was the start of the 'log on to one place for all reporting' concept instead og logging on to multiple products.
    Hope that helps

  • ABC analysis and MC40

    hi-
    Environment : ECC6.0
    We use the standard MIBC-ABC analysis which changes the ABCD indicators based on the turnover or u can say consumption.
    Scenario:
    We have low cost value components (say Bolts) but have a high usage/consumption. So based on ABC indicators, they come up for counting very ofter. We dont want  to count them every month due to their low value but would like to make them available in standard SAP ABC analysis.
    And NO, we dont want to fix the CC indicators for these bolts.
    My question as per following?
    (1) How can i achieve a situation that when the ABC analysis runs and provides a report that Bolts are A ( high consumption indicator-monthly), i am able to change the CC indicators subsequently for the Bolts to D ( once a year) so that i dont do the inventory count for them. ( I dont want to use MM17)
    (2) Can i run MIBC analysis and then execute MC 40 for bolts (if this T-code will assist me since i dont know much about this T-code)?
    (3) Can i just run MC40 or is there another T-code which will assist me?
    (4) Is there a process in Standard SAP which will be enble me to achieve my requriement.
    Looking for any information you all can share.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response.
    MICN is the only one that can update the indicator used for cycle counting.
    Once MICN updates the Cycle count indicators, can i then go into MC40 or similar T-code, select the range of materials or material types for the BOLTS in the input screen and make a change on the CC indicators manually to D ( annual count)?
    However, pretty often the cycle count indicators are precalculated by MICN based on consumption, but then individual items are changed to get a different indicator for specific reasons.
    You may have a low value item, which is very important for your processes.
    Based on consumption values it may get indicator C, but if you have differences on that item then it is a critical factor for your business, hence you want count it more often, thus you would manually change it to B or even A. (which can be done directly from the MICN report)
    My requirement is : I have low value materials in high qty which show in Monthly inventory count due to high consumption. This is my target group to change the CC indicatos to C or D.
    When you indicate i can manually change in MICN report, does it mean that i need to run MICN report twice, first to get the actual ABC analysis and then second time, select the materials (BOLT), generate a report and change the CC indicators.
    I do see an option to input materials in the input screen of MICN but i dont see the option to input or provide the required CC indicators as a manual input.
    If you could provide more information on the sequence of steps, it is appreciated.
    Appreciate your support.

  • GAP ANALYSIS AND TICKETS

    hi Gurus,
    I need some 6 real time examples relating to Gap Analysis and Tickets of SAP SD. Please could you send me all the details with the scenarios and solutions to my email if [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Farhan.

    Hi Farhan,
    Gap means small cracks. In SAP world or in Information Technology world, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be."
    Gap Analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space. Actual Gap Analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in Business Blueprint [AS IS Process] stage.
    A through Gap Analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates and its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and auctioned,
    1. GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed
    2. GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required
    3. GAP does not need to be closed.
    A point worth mentioning here is that at time people confuse between user-exits and Gap Analysis. User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench, its not new functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the same code.
    Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once business Blueprint is finished we have to find the realization of sap system for client requirement and there will be certain gaps when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system.
    The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.
    Examples:
    1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.
    2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
    A2. A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can and can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned.GAPs must be closed and therefore customized software can be developed to close the gap. In some cases GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required in other words a business process change is recommended to the client.
    In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications (ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state.

  • Diff. Between Standard Analysis and Flixible Analysis

    Can any one explain the differences between stadnard analysis and flexible analysis in Sales and Distribution ?

    An information structure combines three kinds of information:
      Characteristics
      Key Figures
      Period unit (time reference)
    Characteristics are items of information that are suitable for aggregation (such as plant, material).
    Every characteristic has characteristic values. For example, the characteristic "material" might
    have the following characteristic values:
      Material: ball-bearing (represented as a text)
      Material 324567 (represented as a key)
    Key figures are values with particular relevance to business.
    Purchasing Information System: invoiced amount, net order value, number of
    deliveries
    Sales Information System: sales volume, incoming orders, returns, sales order
    value
    Inventory controlling: valuated stock receipts, average consumption, total
    consumption value, number of material movements
    Values are ofcourse what we give to the key figures.
    Standard analyses offer a wide range of possibilities for analyzing data. The standard analysis
    provides you with a whole spectrum of functions which enable you to target specific data for
    detailed analyses.
    The information structures provide the data basis for the standard analyses.
    In each standard analysis you can specify the range of the data to be analyzed by using various
    selection options. You can either predefine the key figures that you want to analyze or choose
    them interactively during the analysis itself.
    Flexible analyses allow you to can tailor the way in which key figures are combined and
    aggregated. This means that it is possible to both provide administrators with detailed information
    and management with aggregated information.
    Flexible analyses enable easy access to the Report Writer, a user-friendly tool with which you
    can create reports for various analyses. The Report Writer is integrated in other SAP
    applications, such as Extended General Ledger and Cost Center Accounting.
    Evaluation structures form the interface to the Report Writer. Evaluation structures consist of
    characteristics and key figures and are easy to construct.
    An evaluation structure with the same name exists for each information structure in the standard
    system.
    Even the self-defined information structures created in Customizing can be evaluated via the
    flexible analyses.
    You can create an evaluation on the basis of the evaluation structure.
    To define an evaluation, all you need to do is select the characteristics and key figures you
    require
    One of the especially useful features here is that you have the option of tailoring the layout of
    your report to suit your particular requirements. You can also define extra key figures for the reports,
    which are derived from existing key figures by means of calculation formulas. You can
    thereby multiply the key figures or divide one key figure by another.

  • Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost

    Hi Experts!
    I have an issue of cost difference  between Plant Maintenance total actual cost of orders and Cost analysis report.
    Short Text    
    Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost   
    Long Text    
    Applied SAP notes 180047 and 112841 for the following error:
    Cost is not displaying in MCI8 for every 3 months intervals.
    Now this problem has been resolved but got an another error like cost
    difference between MCI8 report and IW38 order costs.
    Note applied method:-
    1). Configured FYV as Z1 with Period update for info structures S61 to
    S65, S70, S114 to S116.
    2). Regenerate order cost in Tcode OLI5.
    3). PMIS: Statistical setup of info structures T.Code u2013 OLPM
    For Info Structures which is changed in the configuration SO61-SO65,
    SO70, S114-S116.
    4). Copy info structures Version &( to Active version 000 T.Code u2013 OLIX,
    Select Copy version
    For all info Structure SO61-SO65, SO70, S114-S116.
    *Steps for Reconstruction*    
    New another error like cost difference between MCI8 report and IW38
    order costs.
    Step 1. Transaction- MCI8, Order type - CORR, Period -01.2009 to
    12.2009 and execute
    Step 2. Drilldown the corrective maintenance order costs into period
    wise.
    Step 3. Transaction- IW38, Order type Corr, Period -01.2009 to 12.2009,
    Currency - EUR and execute
    Cost differences: E.g. Example A)
                                   MCI8                                 IW38
    Total costs             8.041,69                           5.544,99
    of WOs               18                                     18
    So far my view is that, regardless of the selection criteria or the
    output layout, predominantly the costs are different.
    I would expect that they are equal. And what the right result are,..u2026Iu2019m
    not sure.
    Regards,
    Santhamoorthy

    Hello,
    Sometimes this difference comes because of the selection period which we are choosing.
    Try to run IW38 once with the help of Basic start and basic finish dates of the order.
    And after that with the help of the period with the same dates range.
    You will get the difference also.
    the reason is that whenever any Posting is done in the previous month PM order the system changes the basic start date and when you select the current period and execute IW38 it shows the whole cost incurred on the order including all previous cost.
    But in MCI8 it does not happen because MCI8 is run through LIS structures. And in this report only the current month cost will be shown by the system.
    I hope you got the idea about differences.
    Regards

  • Batch photos analysis, correction and processing - One size (analysis and correction) does not fit all

    PS CC 2014, Bridge and ACR. iMac. 100 pictures. Each  picture was taken in a totally difference environment (lighting, noon and evening. inside, outside, ISO, etc).  I need to process all 100 photos in ACR at the same time (don’t have time to manually analyze and edit one photo at a time) whereby each picture receives it own unique individual AUTO analysis and correction. One identical cookie cutter analysis and correction for all 100 photos will NOT work. I have the same question using LIGHTROOM. I will end up adopting whichever solution (ACR or LIGHTROOM) is the easiest and fastest.  I do realize that I will have to go back and tweak each photo. Thanks. Bob

    So I cannot just click once and the system will AUTO run all 100 photos through all the possible options (exposure, contrast, white balance, etc.). I sounds like I will have to run all 100 photos though each individual element (exposure, contrast, white balance, etc.). This would be very time consuming. Please clarify.

    Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
    Train Users
    Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis.

    These 2 are gaps which we cant find in Standard SAP
    1. if client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station ..
    2. order will be uploaded directly with out va01. through BDC... bcoz lot of orders if they get daily, they can opt these...
    Movement type 1 uses when a material have two movement types.. like example 101 and 261.. one is incomeing raw material and and going for production...

  • Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

    can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
    thanks
    santosh

    Hi ,
    cost component structure
    Definition
    Number that identifies the structure.
    Use
    In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
    In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
    Which part of the costs are fixed costs
    Which costs are
    cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
    Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
    When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
    Main cost component split
    This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
    Auxiliary cost component split
    This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
    In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
    If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
    <b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
    For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
    In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
    A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
    Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
    Hope ths helps

  • Difference between SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0

    hi frnds
    .what is the difference between SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0?
    regards

    Hi,
    Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned
    Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
    u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
    u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
    u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
    Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
    u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
    u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
    u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
    u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
    Goods receipt
    Goods issue
    Transfer posting
    Remove from storage
    u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
    New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
    u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
    u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
    u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
    u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
    u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
    Requirement prioritizations in materials management
    u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
    u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
    Mass maintenance of outline agreements
    The following two transactions available:
    u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
    u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
    Commitment plan for purchase contracts
    u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
    u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
    u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
    u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
    u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
    u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
    u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
    u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
    u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
    u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
    Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
    u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
    u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
    To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
    Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
    u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
    Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
    Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
    External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
    User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
    Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
    The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
    Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
    The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
    107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    Prepayment of invoices
    This functionality is characterized as follows:
    u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
    u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
    u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
    u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
    u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
    u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
    u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
    u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
    Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
    u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
    u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
    Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
    u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
    u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
    u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
    u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
    Parking service items
    It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
    Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
    u2022 This Report is available with u201CNon-Hierarchyu201D display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
    u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
    Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
    u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
    u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
    u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
    u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location

  • Differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA

    Hi,
    I wanted to know the main differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA?
    For which scenarios account based COPA used and for which scenarios costing based copa used.
    please guide me
    sateesh

    HI
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting

  • Difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update

    Hi all,
    Can anybody explain the me the difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update with some example.
    Thanks in advance
    Ramya

    Hi,
      Message: A Asynchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction does not wait for any updates it produces to be completed. It simply passes the updates to the SAP update service. Asynchronous processing therefore usually results in faster execution of your data transfer program.
    Asynchronous processing is NOT recommended for processing any larger amount of data. This is because the called transaction receives no completion message from the update module in asynchronous updating. The calling data transfer program, in turn, cannot determine whether a called transaction ended with a successful update of the database or not.
    If you use asynchronous updating, then you will need to use the update management facility (Transaction SM12) to check whether updates have been terminated abnormally during session processing. Error analysis and recovery is less convenient than with synchronous updating.
    S Synchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction waits for any updates that it produces to be completed. Execution is slower than with asynchronous updating because called transactions wait for updating to be completed. However, the called transaction is able to return any update error message that occurs to your program. It is much easier for you to analyze and recover from errors.
    L Local updating. If you update data locally, the update of the database will not be processed in a separate process, but in the process of the calling program. (See the ABAP keyword documentation on SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL for more information.)
