Evaluating cost vs. output

I am trying to run a simulation for a water treatment plant. I have several different processes set up that allow me to cut down on several seperate contaminants that i want to remove from the water. Each process removes a certain amount of each contaminant for the amount of size that the process is chosen as. The problem is that each process has a different cost associated with it dependent on the size set for the process. What I am trying to do is set up a system where labview will calculated how large i need to make each process to have the least amount of cost with the contaminants brought down to a specified level. Is there a way to do this without just guessing and checking placing in different sizes for each process?
Thanks

From you post, I don't have a terribly clear idea of exactly what you are trying to optimize and how to set it up mathematically. It sounds to me like you will wind up doing some kind of least squares minimization.
So, to answer your question from the 30,000 foot level, the answer is yes. Pretty much anything that can be described as a mathematical problem can be implemented in LabVIEW. The question is whether you would want to. There is nothing about this problem that specifically calls for LV (no data acquisition, instrument control, etc.). If this were my problem, I'd start with something un-sexy like Excel, and if that didn't cut it, I'd step up to a text-based language (I'd use FORTRAN because it is the only programming language around that is older than I am). On of the nice things in LabVIEW is all the mathematical library routines, but these are available for other languages too. I'm partial to Numerical Recipes (google it).

Evaluation - Cost/Revenue Costing for Project

Hello,
executing the evaluation "Cost/Revenue Costing for Project" I get no results. Could someone tell me where the values for this report come from? Can I find somewhere a list with all the evaluations (except the one like completed checkpoint items, ... which are really self explaining) and the source of the shown values?
Thx, Max

Hi,
I hope that you have assigned Cost revenue rate to Roles.
Check in spro> cProjects> Evaluation--> Define extract layout, Iterator for the specific layout RES_PART, Object and attributes.
Also check in Define evaluation assigned extract layout to Evaluation is correct which is defined in earlier step.

Disassembly Order - System Can't calculate the cost of Output Item

Dear All,
I have a problem with Dis-assembly order in production module,My scenario is I have two output item ABC1 And ABC2
and One Input Item ABC.
I have Made The Production BOM ABC(1 Qty ) = ABC1(1 Qty) + ABC2(1 Qty)
After it I have purchase the ABC item at the cost 100 Rs.
I have made the Disassembly order of ABC Item With qty 1 and set the price list Last Purchase Price,
at the time of Issue from production system put the following journal entry.
Stock Account = 100 CR
WIP Account = 100 DR
But ,At the time of Receipt From Production system cannot pass any journal entry.
and result is my stock value of item ABC1 And ABC2 is zero with 1 qty.
for correcting the stock value i am using item revolution screen and correct the WIP Account.
But why the system put the Blank Journel entry at the time of receipt from production ,is there any way
to automate this .i.e.
ABC1 Qty 1 and Cost 50
ABC2 Qty 1 and Cost 50
And JV is
WIP = 100 CR
STOCK = 100 DR
Edited by: Ashish Gupta on Mar 30, 2010 10:59 AM

Dont do revaluation. Its not necessary. If you observer the journal effect properly then you will find when you perform the disassembly production order after closing it creates JE in which you are in loss of finished product as its not creating the the item cost of returned item but stock is getting increased. So when you sale such item it will show the 100% sales GP and accounting transaction against production loss will be setteled. But if you dnt perform the revaluation then you get teh 100% GP against returned component as it doesn't have item cost.

Total Target Costs - Factory Output showing "0"

Hi,
We have repetitive manufacturing at our location here. After the backflush has been posted I am unable to see any factory output updates under target costs in my "costs" under cost collectors. We dont have std cost estimate for our materials and our material prices are periodically updated through material ledger through the monthly costing runs. All FG's have preliminary cost estimate and our target cost versions point towards this estimate. Could you please let me know what could be the reason behind not seeing any costs under the "factory ouput" under "Total target costs"?
thx,
CN

Hi
Please Transfer the source Cost Components to the Target Cost component structure ( Ex. Cost Component Structure 01, updating all the source CCS ) in T.Code : OKTZ
Please check and get back to me.

Name of the table for Standard Output/Cost maintained in in the IO

Dear All,
We go to KO03, enter the order no, display the order. Go to extras, Cost analysis. There are two columns. Total target cost and total actual cost. I need to find out the name of the table where the target cost/standard output is stored.
Thanks in advance,

OS Filesystem Copy of EM Job Output Log?

Is there a predictable location & filename to view OEM (Database Control: dbconsole) output logs for jobs that run? I have a nightly backup that runs and I want to use a simple korn shell script to do some evaluation on the output log of the RMAN backup.
Thanks,
Keith

I too was wanting to look at the output of the jobs. OEM was reporting the job status as successful, but that just meant that it was able to attempt to run my script.
I put this together to give me more info on failures. Test an modify to meet your needs, particulary the last line.
select E.START_TIME,D.JOB_NAME,D.JOB_DESCRIPTION,D.JOB_TYPE,C.STEP_NAME,B.STEP_ID,B.PARENT_STEP_ID,B.STEP_NAME,A.OUTPUT
from sysman. MGMT_JOB_OUTPUT A, sysman.MGMT_JOB_HISTORY B,sysman.MGMT_JOB_EXECUTION C, sysman.MGMT_JOB D,sysman.MGMT_JOB_SCHEDULE E
where A.OUTPUT_ID=B.OUTPUT_ID
and B.JOB_ID=C.JOB_ID

HI Jerry,
I don't know real syntax of your database, try below SQL, you may have to modify the syntax wherever it is required.
Select t.Item, Max(t.DtChg),(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate) then t.Cost else 0) as currentCost,
(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate)-1 then t.Cost else 0) as PriorCost

Planned material costs not seen in reports

hi to all,
i planned costs for a project using networks and activity elements and material components. for the activity elements i placed the costs as a direct input and for material components, i input the required quantity and the material number. However, when i looked at the structure overview(CN41), the materials i placed have 0 cost. YET THE TOTATL AMOUNT in the network&activity INCLUDES the cost of the material (quantity multiplied by material price).
Thanks in advance

hi again..
i checked both your suggestions but they have already been carried out earlier so the problem lies elswhere..(but at least i was able to eliminate some of the possible causes..).
allow me to give an example of whats happening in my case..
MY INPUTS:
WBS 1
NETWORK 1
ACTIVITY 1
     Material Component 1     3 pcs ( 1 $/pc)
     Material Component 2    10 pcs   (1 $/pc)
     Element 1(cost)             500 $
     Element 2(cost)             300 $
OUTPUT REPORT:(CN41 - Project cost Sch 000)
WBS 1                                  $ 813.0000
NETWORK 1                        $ 813.0000
ACTIVITY 1                          $ 813.0000
     Material Component 1           0.0000
     Material Component 2           0.0000
     Element 1(cost)                    500.0000
     Element 2(cost)                    300.0000
So if you notice in the report the material is 0 but the total includes the material cost..
thanks!

Menu tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on item node at hire level

I'm using a Menu Model to Create a Page Hierarchy in my adf application on Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
it is in three levels level 1 have 2 item nods (home - Help) displayed as buttons
                            level 2   contains 5 item nods about the managements displayed as tabs
                            level 3   is about reports displayed as list
the point I have apply security in the application using Adf security wizard and i assign roles and users and grants
all works fine but level 2 tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on Home item node at run time
I create 2 users (admin) has all roles and can view all tabs in level 2 of my navigation and another user (emp) which can view one Tab page in level 2
Point 1 --the item nod are rendered according the #{securityContext.regionViewable['oracle.view.pageDefs.RentManagPageDef']}     (EL ) expression language
and other item nod render property are set as the same but in the page name definition
it works fine
_ Point 2 in my page template I set #{menuInfo.rendered} for renderd property of the command navigation item
it works fine
- point 3 I add a go link in my template to explicit perform log in log out from the app and redirect the user to the required page
Destination is
#{securityContext.authenticated ? "/adfAuthentication?logout=true&end_url=/faces/wearhouse.jsf" : "/adfAuthentication?success_url=/faces/company.jsf"}
and its also works fine
the problem is in the level 2 navigation tabs which is diaper after explicit log in the app directs the user to the correct page successfully
But the tabs are not rendered till I press on home button on Level 1 navigation it appears and it appears correctly cording the logged in user validation
in another words i log in as user (admin) i get directed to the successful log in page in the link go but level 2 tabs are invisible or not rendered at all    I click on Home button in level1 navigation the tabs
become rendered or viewable and i navigate normally
I log out as admin the level 2 tabs becomes invisible again
then I log in as (emp) i get directed to the successful log in page and level 2 tabs are still invisible or not rendered
I click on Home button in level1 navigation the only one tab the user emp authorized to it gets rendered (appears)
and its semi correct behavior because this is what I want him to see only
my tries to find solution
I tride to use
#{securityContext.userInRole['division']}
on the menu node item   I found same behavior level 2 tabs gets hidden till i click on home link at run time
I tride to use #{securityContext.authenticated} to control item nods rending
all tabs remains visible and i dont want that ain adition if user clicks on a tab of page he has no authority on it i recive server error
I read 30.7 Creating a Login Page in the Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework to finde about redirecting user
and it is using the same as i did from adf tutorials
I tried to make new navigation app on fast
maybe i made incorrect change in any stage of my original app
but I found same behavior
I tried to set disabled property instead of rendered property the tabs are always rendered   but I got server error when I click on a tab which a user does not authorized
So I doubt maybe problem in the El or the way I use to control rendering item node
or there additional step to stop all the tabs disappear after login
I hope please some one Help or tell me what i have to read about in the developer guide or interface developer guide or article on the web
I'll be gratfule
I know maybe it is small issue but help me please

Hi,
have a look at the sample that comes with this article: Oracle ADF: Security for Everyone It uses resource remissions to authorize panel tabs.
One test to run is to print the outcome of the security evaluation (e.g. output text) to see what it returns.

To video editors: What's the best software video encoder?

I'm relatively new to the encoding world, outside of .m2v for DVD. I have a Mac Pro Dual Quad-Core 2.4 Ghz Intel Xeon system with 14 GB of RAM and running OS X 10.7.2. I have the latest version of Final Cut Studio, which includes Final Cut Pro 7 and Compressor. I also have Adobe Media Encoder, but upon testing, I was (ironically) flabbergasted by the fact that Adobe's encoding software doesn't come with support for .avi output. For that reason, it's difficult to trust it. I love what Compressor has to offer, and its encoding quality is more than satisfactory for any and all Mac-based file types, but obviously, the format limitations outside of the Apple realm present a problem in terms of the variety I can offer a client. I would like to have the flexibility of .flv, .wmv, .avi, etc.
Again, I love the QuickTime options of Compressor. I have read that Flip4Mac has add-ons for the formats which I listed above, but I've never used that software for this kind of workflow. I also have some experience with Sorenson Squeeze, but that was mainly on an Avid platform, and there were various frame size/crop issues with encoding which forced me as a user to jump through MANY hoops (none of those hoops are an issue in Compressor, but, again, file types are limited) in order to achieve my encoding goals. However, Sorenson does offer support for every imaginable file type in its $599 Pro edition of the software. I'd rather not spend that much just for an encoder if unnecessary, but I honestly have no real frame of reference in terms of cost-to-"output variety" ratio.
So, to the many who are much more educated and experienced than I am, I ask, in your opinion as professionals...what's the best software encoder? Is it one of the three I have already mentioned, or is it another software with which I am not yet familiar? I am open to any and all suggestions and opinions. At this point, I am mostly dealing with web delivery, whether it be streaming or downloadable file types, and DVD/Blu-Ray encoding for disc burn. However, as I'm sure you understand, you never know what kind of project will come your way, or what kind of file type and/or size a client will require on any given day. I'm really just trying to get an education on encoding in general so I can stay somewhat ahead of the curve, and be able to deliver as many different file types as possible so I never have to tell a client, "No, I can't do that."
Thoughts?

Sorry that you are not getting help.
I would have said that there are some excellent people I see that hang out in the forums for Final Cut etc that would.
I look more at hardware aspect and had you asked I would have recommend against the 2.4GHz in favor of 6-core 3.33 or 2.93 or something. Giving up GHz for more cores or something never works out.
Then I would have stayed with 10.6.8 (maybe keep Lion handy for testing only).
Setup a good storage subsystem, 6 x 4GB (or 3 x 8GB when using single cpu).

Financial Statement and Alternative Account Number (China)

Hi all,
I have created a nice financial statement based on "normal" GL account number, and through this I can have a nice formatted balance sheet and profit and loss account.
For china, I need the financial statement with the alternative account number displayed. For example: My normal GL Account is 181000, and alternative account number is 10010101 .
During running the F.01 - Balance sheet, I check the options of "alternative account number" under the tab of special evaluations, but the output of the balance sheet and profit and loss does not give me a nice format.
All of the accounts are displayed under section Account not assigned (This is because alternative account number is 10010101 is not assigned to the financial statement version).
Could anyone advise how to overcome this problem?
Thanks.

Ok ...
I half way solve my problem with the following reference:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/country-specific-coa-1453275
There is another issue of my Financial statement:
The following is my scenario:
I have Operational Chart Of Account, OCA1, and GL's are as followings:
GL1000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9001 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL2000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9002 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL3000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9003 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL4000 No link to any alternative GL (because does not use or need this)
My Financial statement version is FSV9, made up (must be, based on my testing) using GL Account (which are GL9001 and GL9002) and chart of account is ACA1.
During the financial statement F.01, the GL4000 ends up with the following message at the bottom of the financial statement: <b>No alternative acct no.maintained for G/L acct 4000 in co.code ....</b>
Note: GL4000 does not have any balances.
Note: If GL4000 has balances, it is displayed under un-assigned section, and the value does not affect the profit and loss od the statement.
Question: How can I solve the issue:
1) Do not display the GL4000, which does not have alternative GL account.

GS38 Report Painter issue

Hello Experts,
we are facing issue in Report painting for report GS38. basically there are two requirement
1. TOP WBS new field as selection field.
2. GS38 report is not fetching lower wbs cost in output of this report.
So Can any Expert share his experience for fix it asap?
Regards,
Sanjeev

Thanks Rajesh for considering my thread.
there are clearly mentioned like one field needed in as selection criteria of GS38
which i have done.
and 2nd one GS38 report is not fetching lower wbs cost in output of this report. means if wbs have some hierarchy then report should consider lower level wbs cost also in output of this report.
now cost also is fetching by report if i put value in that set.
but lower level wbs cost should be automatically which is the requirement?
Regards,
Sanjeev

Error while distributing expenditure batches

HI,
Created pre approved expenditure batch with timecard as class. Submitted the batch and released it. But while ditributing the cost ( PRC: Distribute labor costs), no output is generated. according to Log file, it is unable to fetach assignments for organization or OU.
Please let me know if i missed any steps. Assignment is done at Oragnization level in HRMS.

Hi
Verify the employees are assigned properlly to an HR organization.
Verify the HR organization is also classified as Projects Expenditure/Event Organization
Verify the organization is defined with in an hierarchy, and that hierarcy version is the one you set up in Projects Implementation Options.
Check that the employees are entred in the Rate Schedule with valid rates.

PRZNT ?

Is this for USA payroll or all the payroll

Indirect Valuation
Indirect Evaluation Module
You can use the indirect evaluation module to output various default values for wage types on different infotypes. The most commonly used ones are as follows:
TARIF this method valuates according to the "collective agreement group and level" specifications you enter in the IMG. Wage types with TARIF will use the settings on the wage type and the values held in table T510 to populate the relevant value into the relevant infotype.
There are 4 different module variants for TARIF A, B, C and D. See the SAP help for more assistance.
PRZNT this is used where you have a wage type being a constant percentage of another wage type and wish this to be shown on the infotype. The wage type in question and the wage type that the percentage is based upon (base WT), are all held in table T539J.
ANSAL this is used in table T539J for the wage types which you would like to be accumulated and shown as Annual Salary on screen 2010 on infotype 0008 Basic Pay.
SUMME very similar to the 'PRZNT' module except that the value of the wage type to be evaluated indirectly is always the entire basic pay. There are different module variants, which can be viewed in more detail in the SAP help.
CONST - Module for constant valuation of wage types according to table T510K (V_T510K view). The module variants are either blank, M or P.
Module Variant there are different module variants based on the different methods chosen. Please look at the SAP help using the F1 key. There are too many to list on this page. The help is not very detailed in this area but fortunately there are other helpful documents within SAP in other areas. The best thing is to just have a go. If you are still stuck, then there are the traditional SAP help sites on the Web
