Difference Serl Number and Betche

Hi Experts,
Can somebody please explain what is the difference between batch and Serial number and thier use?
Thanks
John

Hi,
Batch Number is used mainly in Pharma industry ,Food Industry,
For a particular medicine the production is in Batches but the quantity produced is in Bulk qty
For a particular -Biscuit you can see the Batch No
Traceability is done through the Batches if any thing goes wrong
In Batches right from Purchasing to End Product they will maintain the batch Number
Serial Number is used in Engineering Industry,Manufacturing Industry
For Eg: Automobile . Engine Serial Number ,Chassis Number
CAR NO, Tractor Number Etc.
Application is different in differnet industry

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

From
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
NUMBER Datatype
The NUMBER datatype stores zero as well as positive and negative fixed numbers with absolute values from 1.0 x 10-130 to (but not including) 1.0 x 10126. If you specify an arithmetic expression whose value has an absolute value greater than or equal to 1.0 x 10126, then Oracle returns an error. Each NUMBER value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
Specify a fixed-point number using the following form:
NUMBER(p,s)
where:
p is the precision, or the total number of significant decimal digits, where the most significant digit is the left-most nonzero digit, and the least significant digit is the right-most known digit. Oracle guarantees the portability of numbers with precision of up to 20 base-100 digits, which is equivalent to 39 or 40 decimal digits depending on the position of the decimal point.
s is the scale, or the number of digits from the decimal point to the least significant digit. The scale can range from -84 to 127.
Positive scale is the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point to and including the least significant digit.
Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the decimal point, to but not including the least significant digit. For negative scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point, because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the left of the decimal point. For example, a specification of (10,-2) means to round to hundreds.
Scale can be greater than precision, most commonly when e notation is used. When scale is greater than precision, the precision specifies the maximum number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, a column defined as NUMBER(4,5) requires a zero for the first digit after the decimal point and rounds all values past the fifth digit after the decimal point.
It is good practice to specify the scale and precision of a fixed-point number column for extra integrity checking on input. Specifying scale and precision does not force all values to a fixed length. If a value exceeds the precision, then Oracle returns an error. If a value exceeds the scale, then Oracle rounds it.
Specify an integer using the following form:
NUMBER(p)
This represents a fixed-point number with precision p and scale 0 and is equivalent to NUMBER(p,0).
Specify a floating-point number using the following form:
NUMBER
The absence of precision and scale designators specifies the maximum range and precision for an Oracle number.
And
2
NUMBER[(precision [, scale]])
Number having precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38. The scale s can range from -84 to 127

The difference of minor number and instance number

I study how to develop device drivers. I am beginner.
I'm confusing the differece of minor number and instance number
what is the exact difference of them???

Hi,
I guess a good example would be a disk. Each disk you have would be a different instance. To use a disk it is divided into slices, each of which has a different minor number.
Your device driver needs to map the minor number to the correct instance of the device. How you do this is completely up to you, so to start you could map them one to one.
Hope that helps.

Difference between Quote number and Quote header id

hi all,
i am new to the E-biz suite and i had a doubt. what is the exact difference between Quote number and quote header id. i know they are different but cannot make out exactly. as both are defined as "uniquely identifies the quote".
thanks in advance,
Basavraj

Hi Basavraj,
Quote Number is the value that the end user will see from the screens or on any printed document.
Quote Header Id is the identifier that is user in the back end to uniquely identify the record and link for example the header table to the line table.
In the line table you will only see the Quote Header Id column, not the Quote number column.
Hope this answers your question,
Regards,

What is the difference between number, numeric, dec and decimal

hello
i want to ask what is the difference betwen number, numeric, dec and decimal data types ?
in this paper http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/datatypes.php
i see that there is no difference ?
what is the trick here - why there are 4 type with one purpose?

Generally speaking Oracle has specific names for their own data types. Additionally they support the ANSI names (as well as others) for some data types which are then converted to the equivalent Oracle data type. See the documentation for details.

Difference between Number(*,0) and Integer

Hi,
Is there any difference between Number(*,0) and Integer?
And are there any documents i can download to describe such things.
I user Oracle 10g
Thanks,
Yan

There's an easy way to investigate this - using the SQL DUMP() function.
For example:
SQL> create table testtab( i integer, n number(5,2) );
Table created.
SQL> insert into testtab values( 100, 100.00);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into testtab values( 100, 100.01);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into testtab values( 99999, 999.99);
1 row created.
SQL> col i_dump format a30
SQL> col n_dump format a30
SQL>
SQL> select i, n, dump(i) as i_dump, dump(n) as n_dump from testtab;
         I          N I_DUMP                         N_DUMP
       100        100 Typ=2 Len=2: 194,2             Typ=2 Len=2: 194,2
       100     100.01 Typ=2 Len=2: 194,2             Typ=2 Len=4: 194,2,1,2
     99999     999.99 Typ=2 Len=4: 195,10,100,100    Typ=2 Len=4: 194,10,100,100

Difference between requirement number and dynamic bin number

hi,
what is the difference between requirement number and dynamic bin number in the WMS.i used requirement number as bin number in various scenarios ,but i am not used dynamic bin ....what is the use of it....or it is same as requirement bin number.
Thanks
Muthuraman.D

The Dynamic bin number means that SAP will create the number 'Dynamically. the requirement number is free text and is a reference number
If you create an outbound delivery and create a TO to pick it the stock moves to st type 916 and the bin is the delivery number but the delivery number does not exist at this point as a bin and when the delivery has shipped ypu no lomger require that bin number and so SAP creates the bin dynamically and then it disappears when the delivery is shipped
The createion of Dynamic bins is driven by a setting in the movement type so for instance for movement type 601 the dest st type is 916 and the destination st bin in the movement type config (OLMJ) is ticked so that the destination st bin is created 'Dynamically.
Yhis is the same for a GR when the bin is the PO number in 902 because it is created dynamically
I hope that this helps

Difference between BAPI and RFC?

Difference between BAPI and RFC?
also where to use BAPI and where to use RFC?

Hi,
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR

Hi,
Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR we need to written off as a expense for imported w/off expense and in case of assets we need to post exchange rate difference to exchange fluctuation account. Currently exchange rate difference is accounting under capital work in progress(Asset)instead of exchange fluctuation.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Venkata Suresh

Hi,
At MIRO stage, after entering PO number system will automatically populate the GRN value for selection. Here if you found that invoice value, which you have received from the vendor, is more than the system proposed amount, then you can adjust that diff amount in the GL account tab, which is next to PO reference tab in MIRO.
There enter the exch loss GL account and enter the diff amount.
Thanks,
Srinu.

Difference between billing and invoice?

Hi all
can anybody say Difference between billing and invoice?
thanks

Hi Ipsit,
Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment
Tables are VBRK & VBRP. For flow, go to transaction VF03, enter document number and hit 'Display Document Flow' button on toolbar
VBRK and VBRP holds billing/invoice details..
Billing Document:
Generic term for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, pro forma invoices and cancellation documents.
The tables are VBRK and VBRP.
2) -- once u do PGI the delivery document will be created. There is no way to stop it.. The thing u can to do go to the list of created deliveries in VL09. Select the delivery doc which u created. There u have the option of reversing the goods or canceling it.
Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.
After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.
Please Reward If Really Helpful,
Thanks and Regards,
Sateesh.Kandula

Difference between Pgi and Invoice verification

good receipt=100
invoice verfication=110
how u can find out price differences

hi,
During Goods receipts values floes from Purchase order as there will no invoice of vendor.
At gate security will just enter PO number and qty. system internally will generate
Invent
to GRIR
based on po value
later when final invoice is received from vendor in Finance. Finance wil carry out MIRO and enter Gr number or PO number and MIgo enter will appear. At that point difference in value between PO and final invoice will appear.
Hope it is clear
