Exact difference between tolerance key AN and AP

HI,
Can any one tell me exact difference between the tolerance keys AN & AP with examples?
Thanks& Regards,
Pushparaj S.

Hi Swetha,
So, do you mean that AN & AP are the same as per the functionality wise. but only AP can allow further filter of the items as per the additional setting for item category?
For example:
Custo:
AN: upper limit 100 EUR
MIRO:
IR: Item 1: Item category: "L" exceeds 100 EUR
IR: Item 2: Item category: "Standard" exceeds 100 EUR
Result:
In this case system will block both items...
Custo:
AP: upper limit 100 EUR
Item category: "standard"
MIRO:
IR: Item 1: Item category: "L" exceeds 100 EUR
IR: Item 2: Item category: "Standard" exceeds 100 EUR
Result:
In this case system will block only item 2...
Please confirm this...
Thanks & Regards,
Pushparaj S.

  • Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated  UNBW Materia type

    Dear All
    What is the Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated  UNBW Materia type?
    I tried creating Purchase Order and found that accouting doc got created at both times and stock was not updated in MMBE for both material types.
    Regards

    Hi,
    non-valuated material (Material Type UNBW):
    This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This makes sense for materials of low value, stocks of which nevertheless have to be monitored (for example, operating manuals).
    Non-stock material (NLAG) (Material Type NLAG):
    Inventory management is not possible for these materials either on a quantity or value basis. For frequently required consumables, the use of this material type nevertheless enables you to store the information required to create
    purchasing documents (such as texts and units of measure).
    When a material is procured directly for consumption, no material master record is necessary. In connection with consumable materials, you can distinguish between the following cases:
    • Consumable material without material master record
    • Consumable material with material master record that is not subject to
    inventory management (on either a quantity or value basis)
    • Consumable material with material master record that is subject to inventory management on a quantity, but not a value, basis

  • Exact difference between Item category and Account assignment category

    Can anyone plz give the exact difference between account assignment category and Item category
    Thanks inadvance

    Hi,
    Account Assignment Category: Key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center). The account assignment category determines which account assignment data (e.g. cost center, account number, etc.) is required for the item.
    Item category: Identifier indicating the characteristics of an item. The item category determines whether the following are necessary or allowed with regard to an item:
    Material number, Additional account assignment, Inventory management in the R/3 System, Goods receipt, Invoice receipt.

  • Diff between Calculated key figure and new formula 6extra functions why

    Hi Friends
                  In BEx query designer we have Restricted key figure & Calculated key figure. In the case of Ristricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
    But if we come to Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local. But in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this or SAP AG not be able to develop those functions
    Thganks & Regards

    Hi Surendra thank you for your reply.
    But i am not asking difference between calculated key figure and New formula.
    What i am asking is in the case of Restricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
    But in Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local and in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this.Why not SAP AG is not included the new formula functions in Calculated key figure.

  • EXACT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  FULL LOAD AND REPAIRFULL LOAD?

    HI Champ,
    Can anyone explain me the exact difference between  full load and Repairfull load?Give e some senario where we can go for this?Please.....
    10zin

    Hi,
    Full repair can be said as a Full with selections. But the main use or advantage of Full repair load is that it wont affect delta loads in the system. If you load a full to a target with deltas running you again will have to initialize them for deltas to continue. But if you do full repair it wont affect deltas.
    This is normally done we when we lose some data or there is data mismatch between source system and BW.
    Check the OSS Note 739863 'Repairing data in BW' for all the details
    Symptom
    Some data is incorrect or missing in the PSA table or in the ODS object (Enterprise Data Warehouse layer).
    There may be a number of reasons for this problem: Errors in the relevant application, errors in the user exit, errors in the DeltaQueue, handling errors in the customers posting procedure (for example, a change in the extract structure during production operation if the DeltaQueue was not yet empty; postings before the Delta Init was completed, and so on), extractor errors, unplanned system terminations in BW and in R/3, and so on.
    Solution
    Read this note in full BEFORE you start actions that may repair your data in BW. Contact SAP Support for help with troubleshooting before you start to repair data.
    BW offers you the option of a full upload in the form of a repair request (as of BW 3.0B). If you want to use this function, we recommend that you use the ODS object layer.
    Note that you should only use this procedure if you have a small number of incorrect or missing records. Otherwise, we always recommend a reinitialization (possibly after a previous selective deletion, followed by a restriction of the Delta-Init selection to exclude areas that were not changed in the meantime).
    1. Repair request: Definition
    If you flag a request as a repair request with full update as the update mode, it can be updated to all data targets, even if these already contain data from delta initialization runs for this DataSource/source system combination. This means that a repair request can be updated into all ODS objects at any time without a check being performed. The system supports loading by repair request into an ODS object without a check being performed for overlapping data or for the sequence of the requests. This action may therefore result in duplicate data and must thus be prepared very carefully.
    The repair request (of the "Full Upload" type) can be loaded into the same ODS object in which the 'normal' delta requests run. You will find this request under the "Repair Request" option in the InfoPackage (Maintenance) menu.
    2. Prerequisites for using the "Repair Request" function
    2.1. Troubleshooting
    Before you start the repair action, you should carry out a thorough analysis of the possible cause of the error to make sure that the error cannot recur when you execute the repair action. For example, if a key figure has already been updated incorrectly in the OLTP system, it will not change after a reload into BW. Use transaction RSA3 (Extractor Checker) in the source system for help with troubleshooting. Another possible source of the problem may be your user exit. To ensure that the user exit is correct, first load a user exit with a Probe-Full request into the PSA table and check whether the data is correct. If it is not correct: Search for the error in the exit user. If you do not find it, we recommend that you deactivate the user exit for testing purposes and request a new Full Upload. It If the data arrives correctly, it is highly probable that the error is indeed in the user exit.
    We always recommend that you load the data into the PSA table in the first step and check the result there.
    2.2. Analyze the effects on the downstream targets
    Before you start the Repair request into the ODS object, make sure that the incorrect data records are selectively deleted from the ODS object. However, before you decide on selective deletion, you should read the Info Help for the "Selective Deletion" function, which you can access by pressing the extra button on the relevant dialog box. The activation queue and the ChangeLog remain unchanged during the selective deletion of the data from the ODS object, which means that the incorrect data is still in the change log afterwards. After the selective deletion, you therefore must not reconstruct the ODS object if it is reconstructed from the ChangeLog. (Reconstruction is usually from the PSA table but, if the data source is the ODS object itself, the ODS object is reconstructed from its ChangeLog). You MUST read the recommendations and warnings about this (press the "Info" button).
    You MUST also take into account the fact that the delta for the downstream data targets is created from the changelog. If you perform selective deletion and then reload data into the deleted area, this may result in data inconsistencies in the downstream data targets.
    If you only use MOVE and do not use ADD for updates in the ODS object, selective deletion may not be required in some cases (for example, if incorrect records only have to be changed, rather than deleted). In this case, the DataMart delta also remains intact.
    2.3. Analysis of the selections
    You must be very precise when you perform selective deletion: Some applications do not provide the option of selecting individual documents for the load process. Therefore, you must first ensure that you can load the same range of documents into BW as you would delete from the ODS object. This note provides some application-specific recommendations to help you "repair" the incorrect data records.
    If you updated the data from the ODS object into the InfoCube, you can also delete it there using the "Selective deletion" function. However, if it is compressed at document level there and deletion is no longer possible, you must delete the InfoCube content and fill the data in the ODS object again after repair.
    You can only perform this action after a thorough analysis of all effects of selective data deletion. We naturally recommend that you test this first in the test system.
    The procedure generally applies for all SAP applications/extractors. The application determines the selections. For example, if you cannot use the document number for selection but you can select documents for an entire period, then you are forced to delete and then update documents for the entire period in the data target. Therefore, it is important to look first at the selections in the InfoPackage exactly before you delete data from the data target.
    Some applications have additional special features:
    Logistics cockpit: As preparation for the repair request, delete the SetUp table (if you have not already done so) and fill it selectively with concrete document numbers (or other possible groups of documents determined by the selection). Execute the Repair request.
    Caution: You can currently use the transactions that fill SetUp tables with reconstruction data to select individual documents or entire ranges of documents (at present, it is not possible to select several individual documents if they are not numbered in sequence).
    FI: The Repair request for the Full Upload is not required here. The following efficient alternatives are provided: In the FI area, you can select documents that must be reloaded into BW again, make a small change to them (for example, insert a period into the assignment text) and save them -> as a result, the document is placed in the delta queue again and the previously loaded document under the same number in the BW ODS object is overwritten. FI also has an option for sending the documents selectively from the OLTP system to the BW system using correction programs (see note 616331).
    3. Repair request execution
    How do you proceed if you want to load a repair request into the data target? Go to the maintenance screen of the InfoPackage (Scheduler), set the type of data upload to "Full", and select the "Scheduler" option in the menu -> Full Request Repair -> Flag request as repair request -> Confirm. Update the data into the PSA and then check that it is correct. If the data is correct, continue to update into the data targets."

  • Wat is the exact differences between clustered table and pooled table

    hi,
       can you tell me ravi...wat is the exact differences between clustered table and pooled table
    with regards//
    anilreddyg

    Hi Anil Reddy
    Pooled Tables, Table Pools, Cluster Tables, and Table Clusters
    These types of tables are not transparent in the sense that they are not legible or manageable directly using the underlying database system tools. They are managed from within the R/3 environment from the ABAP dictionary and also at runtime when they are loaded into application memory.Pool and cluster tables are logical tables. Physically, these logical tables are arranged as records of transparent tables. The pool and cluster tables are grouped together in other tables, which are of the transparent type. The tables that group together pool tables are known as table pools, or just pools; similarly, table clusters, or just
    clusters, are the tables which group cluster tables.Not all operations that can be performed over transparent tables can be executed over pool or cluster tables.
    For instance, you can manage these tables using Open SQL calls from ABAP, but not Native SQL.These tables are meant to be buffered and loaded in memory, because they are commonly used for storing internal control information and other types of data with no external (business) relevance. SAP recommends that tables of pool or cluster type be used exclusively for control information such as
    program parameters, documentation, and so on. Transaction and application data should be stored in transparent tables.
    Table Pools
    From the point of view of the underlying DBMS as from the point of view of the ABAP dictionary, a table pool is a transparent table containing a group of pooled tables which, when created, were assigned to this table pool.
    Field Type Description
    TABNAME CHAR(10) Table name
    VARKEY CHAR(n) Maximum key length n =< 110
    DATALN INT2(5) Length of the VARDATA record returned
    VARDATA RAW(m) Maximum length of the data varies according to DBMS
    Table Clusters
    Similarly to pooled tables, cluster tables are logical tables which, when created, are assigned to a table cluster. Therefore, a table cluster, or just cluster, groups together several tables of type clusters.Several logical rows from different cluster tables are brought together in a single physical record. The records
    from the cluster tables assigned to a cluster are thus stored in a single common table in the database.A cluster contains a transparent cluster key which must be located at the start of the key of all logical cluster tables to be included in the cluster. As well, a cluster contains a long field (VARDATA), which contains the
    data of the cluster tables for this key. If the data does not fit into a field, continuation records are created.
    Field Type Description
    CLKEY1 CHAR(*) First key fields
    CLKEY2 CHAR(*) Second key field
    CLKEYN CHAR(*) nth key field
    PAGENO INT2(5) Number of the next page
    TIMESTMP CHAR(14) Time stamp
    PAGELG INT2(5) Length of the VARDATA record returned
    VARDATA RAW(*) Maximum length of the data section; varies according to database system
    Working with Tables
    The dictionary includes many functions for working with tables. There are five basic operations you can perform on tables: display, create, delete, modify, copy. Please do not confuse displaying a table with displaying the table entries (table contents). In order to display a table, it must previously exist; otherwise the system will display an error message in the status bar. For the following example, the table TABNA is used. To display this table, from the main dictionary screen, enter the table name in the Object name
    input field with the radio button selected next to Tables. Then, click on the Display button at the bottom of the screen, or press the F7 function key, or, alternatively,
    select Dictionary object Display from the menu.
    In this screen, you can see table information such as
    ¨ Table type, shown next to the name of the object. In the example, it is a transparent table.
    ¨ Short text description.
    ¨ Name of the user who made the last change, and the date of the change.
    ¨ Master language.
    ¨ Table status. On the screen, you can see this table is saved and active.
    ¨ Development class. For information on development classes, refer to Chap. 6.
    Delivery class, which sets the maintenance group for the table. It controls how tables will behave during client copy procedures, upgrades, and so forth.¨
    Tab. Maint. Allowed flag, which indicates whether you can generate a screen for maintaining table entries.
    ¨Then, on the lower part of the screen, you can see the table fields with all associated characteristics such as:
    ¨ Field name.
    ¨ Key indicator. When set, this field is the primary key, or part of it.
    ¨ Data element.
    ¨ Basic data type.
    ¨ Length.
    ¨ Check table.
    ¨ Short text, describing the field.
    Additional information about the table can be displayed by selecting the corresponding functions from the menu or directly from the application toolbar, such as keys, indexes, or technical settings
    Standard table:
    The key access to a standard table uses a sequential search. The time required for an access is linearly dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
    You should usually access a standard table with index operations.
    Sorted table:
    The table is always stored internally sorted by its key. Key access to a sorted table can therefore use a binary search. If the key is not unique, the entry with the lowest index is accessed. The time required for an access is logarithmically dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
    Index accesses to sorted tables are also allowed. You should usually access a sorted table using its key.
    Hash table:
    The table is internally managed with a hash procedure. All the entries must have a unique key. The time required for a key access is constant, that is it does not depend on the number of entries in the internal table.
    You cannot access a hash table with an index. Accesses must use generic key operations (SORT, LOOP, etc.).
    Index table:
    The table can be a standard table or a sorted table.
    Index access is allowed to such an index table. Index tables can be used to define the type of generic parameters of a FORM (subroutine) or a function module.
    Just have a look at these links:

  • Difference between primary key and primary index

    Dear All,
             Hi... .Could you pls tell me the difference between primary key and primary index.
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    Primary Key : It is one which makes an entry of the field unique.No two distinct rows in a table can have the same value (or combination of values) in those columns.
    Eg: first entry is 111, if you again enter value 111 , it doesnot allow 111 again. similarly for the strings or characters or numc etc. Remember that for char or numc or string 'NAME' is not equal to 'name'.
    Primary Index: this is related to the performance .A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of operations in a table. Indices can be created using one or more columns, providing the basis for both rapid random lookups and efficient ordering of access to records. The disk space required to store the index is typically less than the storage of the table (since indices usually contain only the key-fields according to which the table is to be arranged, and excludes all the other details in the table), yielding the possibility to store indices into memory from tables that would not fit into it. In a relational database an index is a copy of part of a table. Some databases extend the power of indexing by allowing indices to be created on functions or expressions. For example, an index could be created on upper(last_name), which would only store the uppercase versions of the last_name field in the index.
    In a database , we may have a large number of records. At the time of retrieving data from the database based on a condition , it is a burden to the db server. so whenever we create a primary key , a primary index is automatically created by the system.
    If you want to maintain indices on other fields which are frequently used in where condition then you can create secondary indices.
    Reward points if helpful.
    Thanks,
    Sirisha..

    MARK... whilst the definition of the function shows a return type, the return statement inside the function simply returns, without a value. That's because the data is passed back through a special "pipeline", and you can write code to show that the data is available to a query as soon as it's piped, and before the function has completed (reached the return statement) if you like.
    A procedure does not return a value (And no an OUT parameter is not a "returned" value, it's a writeable parameter, there's a difference)
    2. There are some limitations in functions which is possbl through procedures.
    Like - Oracle doesn't support DML in functions called in Select queries (using PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION will help).Not strictly true. and SQL query is considered to be DML, so a function could perform a query and then be used inside another query...
