Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward

Hi Folks,
I am having problem with this:
Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
Thanks,

Hello,
There 2 t codes ABST and ABST2.
You have issue if ABST does not match.
ABST2 is as of today t code. Ideally they will match.
To fix the issue
execute AFAR
then execute AFAB repeat run dep.
Normally your will asset balance will match with GL

ABST2 - Differences between Assets and G/L accts

Hi Experts
We are working on ECC 6.0 and INR is our local currency.
At the end of FY 2007 by mistake direct postings were made to Dep Fund Account which is a Recon a/c and FY 2007 was closed
And because of which FI-GL and FI-AA doesnt match by INR 37353.71 (amt posted in above doc) as shown in ABST2
I've referred SAP notes 104567 & 69225 and found the note 69225 relevant to follow as the difference has not resulted in the current or open years.
So we have passed direct entry which is exactly the reversal of entry posted above using ABF1 (INR -37353.71)
After posting the 2nd document, in ABST2 another line has appeared of INR -37353.71. Although the sum for my recon GL is now zero.
The output of ABST2 is as below now -
Sc Acct no.   BusA Year SG 1st local difference LCurr Doc.no.    Period
AS 31100                2009               37,353.71-        INR     W004
AS 31100                2009               37,353.71         INR     W004       999
When I come out of ABST2 , addition to 1st, error no 2 is also coming which I thought would disappear.
1.Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
     Message no. MQ555
2.Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date
     Message no. MQ557
Is still something else needs to be done?
Or can I move ahead as the summation of the difference is now zero?
Please suggest.
Kapil

We referred to SAP and they suggeted that the tagging of W004 in both the lines means that now there is no error even system prompts it as error.
So we continued with the transactions and after closing the FY 2009, today when we run ABST2, we dont get any error messages as there is no difference left between Assets & GL.

Differences between assets and G/L accts

Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
Message no. MQ 555
Diagnosis
Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
Procedure
Using program RFEWSBAL, select the accounts for which differences occurred. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Changeover package: Active package
Phase: ANALYZE
Origin of change: AS
Proceed
1. Analyze the accounts containing errors using note 104567.
If the document number field contains the entry "W004", this means that although a difference exists in the balance carried forward, this difference was charged off at the key date. Following local currency changeover, the system adjusts the currency differences at the key date only, but not in the balance carried forward.
If the entry "W004" exists for all affected accounts, the status is set to warning instead of error. If the correction at key date described above proves sufficient, you can continue changing over the local currency without additional adjustments in the previous year.
However, SAP does recommend that you make corrections in the previous year in line with note 104567 since this ensures that the balance carried forward is also reconciled.

Difference between Asset and Equipment

Hi All,
Can someone tell me the difference between Asset (Created using AS01) and Equipment (Created using IE01).
Thanks,
Rock

Dear Rock,
Asset is a financial entity managed by SAP-AA (Asset Accounting) component. Though, it has some logistic data to manage (and one can always add user-defined fields) its main purpose is to manage fixed assets as a part of the company's financial statement by applying different tools like depreciation, capitalization, retirement etc. Equipment, however, is a logistic entity which allows you to manage the logistic flow for your assets, by tracing the place of installation, managing repair/service orders, parts of equipment, etc. An equipment (or several equipments) could be linked to a financial asset. It's important to emphasize that not every equipment is a financial asset, and not every financial assets is an equipment even if you are about to implement both AA and PM in your SAP project.

Eli

What is the difference between AXIEM and EMSIght? What are the advantages of AXIEM over EMSight if any?

I am wondering what the differences are between AXIEM and EMSight. Are they application related? Is one better than the other one? Please explain.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

AWR considers AXIEM the most powerful planar EM simulator around.   AXIEM is the focus of continual research and improvement while EMSight is only worked on if serious deficiencies are found. Here is a summary of the differences:
Meshing
EMSight must mesh the grid nearest to the conductors using rectangles. This causes the mesh to have more mesh elements when there are small and large geometries. The grid must be small enough to capture the small geometry but then causes the large geometries to be over meshed.   Additionally, angled or curved structures causes meshing inefficiencies.
AXIEM meshes the shapes, rather than a grid. Additionally, the mesh can be rectangle or triangle.   This allows for a much more efficient mesh.   Typically AXIEM will have a much more efficient
AXIEM contains the ability to process shapes to clean up geometries that cause mesh inefficiencies. EMSight does not contain this capability.
AXIEM can mesh shapes as thick metal, EMSight cannot and user's must make approximations when thick metal will change coupling (loss is accounted for properly with metal thickness)
Ports
Ports are mostly similar but the parasitics due on AXIEM ports are less. Additionally, AXIEM doesn't have a side wall, so the effects of not moving the reference plane from the edge of the line are much less in AXIEM.
Ports can be added at most any location in geometry with AXIEM. For EMSight, ports are usually only added on the outside of the geometry and have limitations to reference planes per side of the enclosure.
Solvers
EMSight does not have a low frequency solver. It will go low in frequency and then extrapolate to DC. This usually works okay, but you must be aware of if the extrapolation is accurate. AXIEM has both a low and high frequency solver so will do much better at lower frequencies an usually much better at DC.
EMSight's solver scales O(n)^2 for memory and O(n)^3 for time. It does have a special algorithm to break up the memory issue, but the time issue is the killer. AXIEM has a direct solver which scales similarly and an iterative solver which will scale O(nlogn). Said another way, AXIEM can solve much large problems that EMSight.
More of AXIEM's processes are multithreaded than EMSight.
Enclosure
EMSight is inside a perfect conductor sidewall.   This works well if you circuit is in the same cavity. If not, you must know the rules of them on how far to space shapes from the sidewalls as well as how far to extend the port deembedding reference planes.   AXIEM does not have this enclosure.   AXIEM does not currently have a good way to simulate a perfect conductor sidewall.
I am sure I missed some aspects of the tools.   From AWR's perspective AXIEM is the tool of choice except in a few rare circumstances were EMSight might be needed.

Balance difference between GL and Asset

Hi Exps,
I found the balance differences between asset and gl throu transaction ABFST2.
how to know from where the differences will come in assets and GL? if found how to adjust the differences?
Soma

any suggetions please...
If i retire the asset in current period, what is the parameters to take to retire the asset? asset cap.date: 01.11.2004, life time: 5 Yrs. Dep.rate:20%.
system is not allowing to transfer with value date on 01.02.2004. for this case which value date i should take? if i transfer this to new asset with current date, what is the life time and depreciation. depreciation is taken as over rem.life pro rata to zero.

Difference Between Shutdown and Close Database

Hi all,
Let say I want to start the instance of database with the following processes :
1. STARTUP MOUNT
2. ALTER DATABASE OPEN
With two commands above, now the database is open. Then, I want to close the database with command :
3. ALTER DATABASE CLOSE
After this, I want to reopen the database again by using this :
4. ALTER DATABASE OPEN
I know that it will produce an error because when the database is opened and closed, its lifetime has already ended, so we must shutdown it first.
My questions are :
1. What's the difference between CLOSE and SHUTDOWN ? Suppose in the case above, I want to close the database. Why don't I just type SHUTDOWN ? Why is it necessary for me to use command CLOSE instead of SHUTDOWN ?
2. What are the conditions of database when I CLOSE database, also, what are the conditions of database when I SHUTDOWN database ? I want to know more detail because I have tried to find in google, but now satisfying result
Thanks before
Edited by: cycon on Nov 8, 2010 9:00 AM

alter database close;this you can execute only from OPEN status
when ever you close the database it will go to mount status here you cannot open the database again, you need to clean sutdown and need to startup.
alter database open;ths you can execute only on MOUNT status, it will takes you to mount --> open status.
Thanks

What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ?

Hi Friends,
We had a client meeting 2 days back regarding BODS project, But our client is showing more interest on Talend. We have explained/demo him on BODS. Could any one please tell me, What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ? What are the features of BODS which are not there in TELEND ?
Thanks,
Bheem.

Hi,
If you talk difference than Talend is an open source. SAP DS as huge advantage when it comes to loading data into SAP and it is more flexible with lots of inbuilt features and easy to load data into SAP using DS directly and extracting data from various legacy systems.

Difference between BAPI and IDocs

hello all
what is difference between BAPI and IDocs

Hi,
BAPI
One of the big plusses for BAPIs is that the interface and function are not supposed to change. This is a big plus when you do upgrades or hot packs because the transaction can change (format, required inputs etc) which means you then need to update the call transaction.
Some of the BAPIs are better documented and easier to use than others. You usually need to perform the BAPI that actually does the COMMIT after you call your BAPI.
The Program coding for calling a BAPI is usually cleaner than setting up the screen flow etc for the Call Transaction.
You don't need to worry about special data circumstances interrupting the normal data flow of the screens and causing errors because of that.
BAPIs probably have better performance since they don't do the screen flow processing.
In general if the BAPI exists for the transaction you want to perform and you can figure out how to use it the BAPI is probably the best way to go.
BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
IDOC
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

Differences between Calendar and Reminders

Hi, anybody can give help and let me know the differences between Calendar and Reminders? I found the Calendar got all functions of the Reminders. If I want to mark an appointment, which one I should choose? Calendar or Reminders?

I look at this way. The Reminders app is sort of a To-Do list for simple tasks. It's like writing yourself a note electronically ... Pick up milk on the way home, let the cat out, don't forget to stop at the post office.., things like that.
The calendar app is a more robust app that allows you to share your meetings and appointments with others - if you need to or want to do so, it has the ability to repeat recurring events ( with some limitations), it has the option for multiple alerts (2) and more customization than the reminders app. You can select from and use a number of different calendars in the calendars app as well.
if it were me, I would use the calendars app for appointments,

Is there any performance difference between unique and no unique index

Hi,
We are working with both databases Oracle and MS-SQL and we have an open channel to MS-SQL server core team.
We got the word from them that there is a difference between unique and no unique index from the optimizer perspective, i.e. the optimizer knowing that the index is unique may choose a more suitable plan for running a specific query, we're still trying to find a specific example.
Anyway, since we do not have an open channel to Oracle core, I thought maybe one of you guys knows something about Oracle optimizer behavior on this issue.
I am interested verified answers from certified sources and not suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks in advanced,

Graph axes assignment: performance difference between ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS and ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS

Hi,
I am using a xy graph with both x axes and both y axes. There are two possibilities when adding a new plot:
1) PlotXY and SetPlotAttribute ( , , , ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS, );
2) SetCtrlAttribute ( , , ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS, ) and PlotXY
I tend to prefer the second method because I would assume it to be slightly faster, but what do the experts say?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you for your interesting question.
First of all I want to say, that generally spoken, using the command "SetCtrlAttribute"is the best way to handle with your elements. I would suggest using this command when ever it is possible.
Now, to your question regarding the performance difference between "SetCtrlAttribute" and "SetPlotAttribute".
I think the performance difference occures, because in the background of the "SetPlotAttribute" command, another function called "ProcessDrawEvents" is executed. This event refreshes your plot again and again in the function whereas in the "SetCtrlAttribute" the refreshing is done once after the function has been finished. This might be a possible reason.
For example you have a progress bar which shows you the progress of installing a driver:
"SetPlotAttribute" would show you the progress bar moving step by step until installing the driver is done.
"SetCtrlAttribute" would just show you an empty bar at the start and a full progress bar when the installing process is done.
I think it is like that but I can't tell you 100%, therefore I would need to ask our developers.
If you want, i can forward the question to them, this might need some times. Also, then I would need to know which version of CVI you are using.
Please let me now if you want me to forward your question.
Have a nice day,

Difference between Cofiguration and Customzing

Hi,
What's the difference between Cofiguration and Customzing.
BR
Govind

Hi,
The difference between customizing and configuration is;
CONFIGURATION: - We will configure the system to meet the needs of your business by using the existing data.
CUSTOMIZING: - We will customize or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process.
Configuration Vs Customization: -
When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between configuration and customization. The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names, modify drop-down lists, or add buttons. Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization involves code changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to the new version. Wherever possible, governments should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their goals. Governments also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like "modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.

DIfference between BW and R/3 Security

Hi
Please tell me whats the difference between BW and R/3 Security
Thanks

Hi,
The main difference is that, in R/3 the first line of defence it S_TCODE, i mean its completely based on Transaction.
Where as B/W is completely object based i.e, it deals with securing Infoobjetcs, Infocubes, ODS, BW Queries, etc....
