I want to know about the additional features of ECC6.0 when compared with teh older versions...Where can i find the related documentation...Dont say that it is in the release notes...as i have seen many new transactions which are not documeted in the release notes for the differences between 6.0 and 4.6...And, i dont see 4.7 as an option in the release notes...Any ideas....I will award maximum points for the perfect answer(s).
Thanks,

Difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions

Hi,
one of the difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions is that instead 'WS_UPLOAD' and 'WS_DOWNLOAD' in ECC we should use 'GUI_UPLOAD' and 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' respectively.
(of course SPDD and SPRO tcodes is known by everone i suppose)
Similarly can u all put down some differences here, atleast one entry by each, I think we can make a good docu. I have searched the net for the differences but could not get much, so by each of us contributing one each, it would become good docu..for all of us.
Thanx in advance

Unicode Errors Encountered and their Solutions
E1. In u201CTEXT MODEu201D the u201CENCODINGu201D addition must be specified.
     Error:
     OPEN DATASET FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
     Solution:
     OPEN DATASET FILE FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE.
E2. In Unicode, DESCRIBE DISTANCE can only be used with the IN BYTE MODE or IN
      CHARACTER MODE addition.
     Error:
     DESCRIBE DISTANCE BETWEEN T_KOMK AND T_KOMK-HIEBO01 INTO BPOS.
     Solution:
DESCRIBE DISTANCE BETWEEN T_KOMK AND T_KOMK-HIENR01 INTO BPOS
IN CHARACTER MODE.
E3. u201CUSR02-UFLAGu201D must be a byte-type field (Typ X or XSTRING )
     Error:
     IF USR02-UFLAG O YULOCK.
     Solution: Since the data type of USR02-UFLAG is type INT and is compared with data type
                X u2013 Hence the error. So we define a new variable ZULOCK and assign the
                value of USR02-UFLAG to ZULOCK.
              New variable
              DATA: ZULOCK(1) TYPE X.   "APBRP00
              Assign value
                            ZULOCK = USR02-UFLAG.
        Compare -
               IF ZULOCK = YULOCK.   u201Creplace IF USR02-UFLAG O YULOCK.
E4. HT cannot be converted to a Character type field
Error :
WRITE ht TO t_data+10(2).
Solution : Since the data type of ht is a type u2018Xu2019 and the data is been transfer to
         t_data which has a data type u2018Cu2019. value of one data type cannot be copy to
         another data type where one of them is type string .Hence the error occur,
         so the data type of ht is been change to Type u2018Cu2019
     OR
           A Tab ( value 09 ) is introduced as part of the row. The value 09 is not converted in Unicode environment. Instead we need to use class
     Error:
          DATA: BEGIN OF ht,
               x(1) TYPE x VALUE '09',
          END OF ht.
     Solution:
              Define Class after the Tables definition.
                   CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
              Data Defination : Comment internal table HT and define a variable HT type C.
       *   Insert + APRIA00 05/02/2007 Unicode project
       *   DATA: BEGIN OF ht,

       *   END OF ht.
     *   Insert - APRIA00 05/02/2007 Unicode project
       DATA HT type C.
       Before using HT assign Horizontal tab.
                 Ht = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
E5. In Unicode programs the u201C#u201D cannot appear in names, as it is does here in the name    u201C#LINESu201D
     Error :
     #LINES                 TYPE I,
     Solution : Since the # is used in the start of name, it is not allowed. We need to
              remove it.
     Solution for the above
     V_LINES                 TYPE I,
E6. In u201CTEXT MODEu201D the u201CENCODINGu201D addition must be specified as well as the addition was required FOR OUTPUT,FOR INPUT, FOR APPENDING OR FOR UPDATE was expected.
     Error:
     OPEN DATASET PATH_NAME IN TEXT MODE.
     Solution:
     Download =     OPEN DATASET PATH_NAME FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE.
     Upload        = OPEN DATASET AUSZUG-FILE IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.
E7. u201CTABu201D must be a character-type data object( data type C,N, D, T or String). Field string)

       end of tab.
            concatenate 'Material' 'Package Status'
                into z_download-line separated by tab.
            ( In the above command the two field are to be separated with a horizontal Tab. The earlier      way of assigning the tab value u201809u2019 will not work in Unicode environment.
     Solution:
     Define a class just after the Table defination.
          CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
            Define variable Tab as shown below :
          Data : TAB           TYPE C.

What the difference between u0093Valuate GL Account Open Itemsu0094 and u0093Valuate G/

hi gurus
What the difference between Valuate GL Account Open Items and Valuate G/L Account Balances?
We found out that when we perform valuate GL account Open items there will be reversal done at the same time whereas when we perform Valuate G/L Account Balances there is NO reversal posting even though we hv entered the reversal posting date and Period.
Pls advise which one we should perform?

Valuate GL Account Open Items are for open item managed accounts including vendor/customer accounts. The valuation is performed for each (open) line items on key date specified.
"Valuate GL Balance" is for account NOT managed on Open Item basis but managed in foreign currency. The period balance of key date in foreign currency is valuated. Reversal document can be created by selecting 'Reverse postings' in "Postings" tab.

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]
2/
PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

Hi!
I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
Thanks and best regards!
Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

Hi,
Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor' or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account'
Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Brigitte
