Explanation of Division

Hi
Can somebody explain the meaning of Division. I am working on a project for manufacturing company & the company sells its products in 2 different markets. One is ABC Market & the other one is DEF MARKET. & we have to track the sales separately for ABC market righ from the entry stage.
Company sells its products directly through the factory gate.
Can we call ABC & DEF market as divisions.
Please explain
Thanks
Mohit

Define, copy, delete, check division
In this step, you define the divisions in your company
or you edit divisions that already exist.
The division is one of the organizational units in Sales & Distribution
    and is also required for business area account assignment for logistics
    transactions in Financial Accounting. The business area for the material
    is determined via the plant and the division defined in the material
    master record.
In order to adapt the functional scope of a division to the organization
    in your company, you should process the following check list:
o   Allocate a division to one or more sales organizations.
o   Allocate a division to one or more distribution channels.
o   Allocate a business area to a division from a plant. This way,
        business area account assignment can be carried out for transactions
        in Materials Management. As of Release 3.0, the business area is
        determined in Materials Management from the division and the
        valuation area.
o   A material is always assigned to one division only. You specify the
        division on the first sales & distribution screen in the material
        master record.
o   You can define your own master data within a division for customers
        as well as your own conditions and pricing.
o   You can also create shared customer master data and conditions,
        which apply to several divisions, using a common division.
o   You can define sales offices for a division.
o   You can define for each sales document type that all items of a
    sales document must belong to the same division.
o   The items of a delivery or a billing document can belong to
    different divisions.
o   The division is used as a selection criterion for lists of sales
    documents and the work list for deliveries.
o   You can determine the printer destination for messages differently
    for every division on the basis of the sales documents.
SAP Recommendation
o   Please use the division "01" as a "general division" if you do not
    differentiate between divisions in your company.
o   If you enter the value 01 as a parameter in the user master record,
    the user does not need to make further specifications.
o   Define the master data for a representative division if you do not
    need to dinstinguish customer master data and pricing elements by
    division. You can then use this data in several divisions.
Division for easy umderstanding can be:
Different business area of a company, say Hardware Dept & Software Dept.
In your example, you can certainly create ABC & DEF as Division, but the impact of it will be:
1. Higher configuration for Sales Area Mapping
2. Higher Master Data maintainance, say for maintaining Pricing Condition, Customer Master & so on....
3. This would mean not utilizing server capacity to optimum
Instead, Make use of Sales Office to Identify Sales by ABC & DEF. Further, for segregation, reports can be debeloped, if standard report is not meeting the purpose.

==============================
SD FLOW:
Sales
Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels
Transaction Code: VOR1
12. Defining Common Divisions for Master DataUse
The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
Procedure

Pricing Procedure
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
he configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

Sub Contracting Cycle
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor"
(4) You receive finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
(5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.
Process of Subcontract in MM
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to becreated for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Inforecord and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.
How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.
When you print the purchase order, the components are printed per order item.

Return process
You need to receipt the rejected goods through SD Module (VA01 - Sales Order type RE).
The steps are as follows :
1. Create a return request. (Using Sales Order in SD)
2. Create outbound delivery according to return request.
3. If the setting is correct in the outbound delivery screen SAP will automatically switch post goods issue button into post goods receipt. The setting is in sales order item category and delivery type.
4. In the standard system the movement type used is 651.
5. After post goods issues receipt is done using outbound delivery, the quantity is placed in blocked stock without value updating.
6. You will then decide if the return quantity are indeed bad stock or not.
7. Transfer Posting from block stock to unrestricted stock (mvt type 453), this will have accounting effect (Debit Inventory, Credit COGS)
8. Goods Issue to scrap account how to create new titles which can be used in creating the "address" view on the Vendor master.{T-Code: XK01}

How to find Blocked Stock Value for a Material Division

Hi Every Body,
I have gone through the notes 589024,637927 to find out Blocked Stock value for a Particular Material at different plants . But I have to get Blocked Stock value at each Material Division . Kindly give some light on it to get it.
The steps are same for finding the Consignment stock value and Transit Stock value. So kindly help me if any body has already worked on it.
With rgds,
Anil Kumar Sharma .P

Hi Anil,
well these notes work but they're prerequisites that have bothered me and unabled me to fulfill our requirement, for instance, having the material number in the drilldown and so on in order to perform the calculation during query execution.
I believe there is not much more alternative if you still want to calculate valuations accurately at SLOC or any other stock indicator during query execution...
I started from the basic fact that valuation of material underneath the plant/valuation area (in my case 1 PLANT = 1 VALAREA).; precisely because all movements doens't carry all information as per the note explanation.
So what we have done is to pull a cube with all Article/Sites MAP values; this can be done in several ways; MBEW/MBEWH are holding MAP values per fiscal periods; it has sufficient for us until now: our operations are asking to track MAP values more frequently.... So I am investigating how to work this out and have several alternatives:
- MSEG has additional fields (available in the extract structures) like Total Stock Qty/Value PRIOR the posting. There is as well an indicator telling if the posting is relevant for the valuation (if it is going to affect the Qty/MAP or not). So it is possible to get the MAP after the posting for each material movement.

Financial statement Branch Locaton wise & Product division wise

Hi All,
we have activated profit centre accounting, and we have an requirement of branch wise FSV. In one company code we have four different types of business, like(FMCG,Iron manufacturing, financial etc.) and all the business is happening in all the branch locations. (we have Five different branches). client requirement is to get FSV branch wise and business nature(product division) wise. Kindly let me know if you have valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance,
Sahil K

Hi Sahil,
In your business I am assuming that you have defined as PC = Business((FMCG,Iron manufacturing, financial etc.)
If I am right on my assumption then,
You could have defined the Business area for your Branches, but now as the business have gone live there is no point doing so. To simplify the process you can make take a Financial statement by entering a group of profit center. You can define the financial statement version as per the business requirement with various groups and sub groups.
Hope the above explanation helps.
Regards
Paul

Risk on wrong definition of sales organization, distribution channel and division

Hi,
our organization just started to implement SAP and SD module is one of the subject to complete.
We are in the defining phase of the above subject but I still can not understand the risk of being miss-defining the sales organization, distribution channel and division. Is it true will only impacting the pricing and reporting only? Are there going to be future impact on this?
Thank you before for your explanation.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Good to see the suggestions!
These are the rules I try to follow:
Do not over do it. Simple is better and facilitates change.
One sales organization for each company code unless significant differences exist between independent sales departments. Like one wants to use CRM and others won't. It's roughly equivalent to one by each top level sales director.
One distribution channel for each sales channel group that defines different prices or different shipping conditions for the same material. Like retail and wholesale have different pricing. Special rules can apply like mail delivery require different correspondence settings.
One division for each division of the company. If company has no clearly defined divisions (like Aeronautics and Footwear) there is no need (in sales) to split (it might in financials).
Using sales office and sales group for reporting is a lot better than the top level structures because it's easy to change them in master data, unlike sales org or distribution channel. And when departments get reorganized the system effort is significantly reduced if no change occurs at those three top levels.
So I normally use the sales office to the first or second level of reporting and sales group in some cases to represent individual sales persons or nothing at all in other cases.
regards,
Edgar

I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. Apple Tech support has no explanation or solution. This has only occurred after upgrading to Lion. How do I stop this?

I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. After spending several hours with a variety of divisions (Lion,iTunes,iPad,iMac) of Apple Tech Support, none can give me any definitive explanation or solution. Prior to my recent upgrade to Lion, this did not occur. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you resolve the issue?

You get an update notice for an app that is not installed on your Mac. Is there a stranger's Apple ID also appearing on your Mac related with this update?
If so, you have a pirated app on your Mac. If not, it should be another issue.

Simple division in Java

Hi all,
Can someone explain the following to me
int num1 = 110/60 - answer = 1 (expected)
float num2 =110/60 - answer also =1 ( not expected)
How do I get accurate results for my division?
Thanks

I just want to show that "exact precision" without a detailed explanation what it actually means can't really be achieved in a general case.
You can only get:
1.) more digits
2.) a closer match to a other (faulty) system that is better-known and thus "looks" more precise (i.e. BigDecimal)
3.) exact representation for a subset of all values.An exact representation given a precision of n. I am sure it will be impossible to represent transcendental numbers as well. :^)

Sale Order without Division

Hi,
I have an issue in prodution system, there is a sales order created in 2008 without division (I dont know how the system allowed), this sale order is created with reference to a contract, and the contrct is having division. And now users want to close the sale order. When i am trying to open sale order in VA02 / VA03, it is giving error mesage " Sales area 1000 10 is not defined". Now I am unable to open the order.
Pls anybody suggest me how to close this order??
How system will allow to create a sale order without delivery??
Regards,
Srikanth

Hi,
I can see a way by which this could have happened.
Initially there was a sales area called 1000/10/00. For tihs sales area, some transactions were created. After sometime, by mistake or intentionally the assignment of this sales area is deleted in configuration. If this is done, it will affect the documents in retrospect and all those documents cannot be processed from then onwards. There is a possibility that this has happened in your case.
Check some other sales orders for the sales org 1000 created in 2008 and you are bound to get this error. If you realise that there are lot of documents affected because of this, please check the change logs in the sales area configuration and find out when was the sales area dimantled in the system. There can be some business reason behind this. Find out the business reason, tell them implication of removing the sales area, do the configuration once again and rectify the affected documents once again by means of a Zprogram.
Please check initially what is said, and let me know if you need more information on this

Unable to enter a Division for which I have proper credentials, via the GUI

I have a Division which I am unable to enter, either as a student or as the full site Administrator, from the GUI.
When I log into the main Site page, I see the link for the Division (as I should - I have DOWNLOAD permissions for the Division). However when I click the link (the thumbnail image) I am always, 100% of the time, rejected and sent to the login page. Ignoring that, I still have all of my proper credentials and may continue to freely access other parts of the site.
In the past, I had this exact behavior on (1) a Division "RobotCourses:PSYC" (Psychology), and (2) my main site breadcrumb, which appears at the top of the site page to the right of the "iTunes U" breadcrumb and says "Maiko Covington @ University of Illinois..." For reasons completely unknown to me, this behavior resolved itself yesterday, clicking both of those objects works as expected, although NO one at our site with any edit access did anything on the server.
However, the same behavior has now reappeared, this time on a Division "RobotCourses:CLCV" (Classical Civilizations). Again, I have not done any editing of that Division, nor had anyone logged into it (these Divisions are in a test area where I am developing automation tools).
I am, quite frankly, stumped. But I've done some investigation.
SETUP:
The Division has identity "RobotCourses:CLCV".
This Division contains a single Course with identity "RobotCourses:CLCV:CLCV115:CLCV115All-13564".
Both the Division and the Course are restricted to properly registered academic students. I have developed automation code in a login portal which grants credentials for RobotCourses:CLCV to students registered for courses in the CLCV department (Classical Civilizations) and credentials for RobotCourses:CLCV:CLCV115:CLCV115All-13564 to students registered for CLCV 115 (Classical Civilizations 115 - Mythology of Greece and Rome) specifically.
The Permissions set on RobotCourses:CLCV in particular are:
<Permission>
<Credential>Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu</Credential>
<Access>No Access</Access>
</Permission>
<Permission>
<Credential>gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV</C redential>
<Access>Download</Access>
</Permission>
The point is to deny access to Authenticated@ (merely authenticated students) and then specifically grant it for people given a "gakusei" credential for RobotCourses:CLCV in particular.
(Note here that "gakusei" is a Japanese word meaning "student," I am using it in my credentials to ensure that my credentials and permissions are not affected by other credentials named "student" set at upper levels and used by some live users of the site, as we do not have a segregated development environment. It is our lowest level of access beyond mere Authenticated@..., designed to give students access to download and "surf to" Divisions and Courses.)
*LOGIN: ISSUING CREDENTIALS:*
The login portal code works successfully, and so when a student "Jane Doe" logs in, she is in fact given appropriate credentials (as she is actually registered for CLCV 115 here at UIUC). From the code generating her login URL, I see:
Issued credentials:
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV:CLCV115:CLCV1 15All-13564
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT:STAT100:STAT1 00X1-13570
(You can see she is also registered for STAT 100).
With the default login URL thus generated, she is taken to the top level of the Site in iTunes, and in fact sees thumbnail links for both STAT (Statistics) and CLCV (Classical Civilizations). Clicking on STAT takes her to the STAT Division where she can then enter the Course STAT 100 with no problems.
*PROBLEM: CAN'T GET TO CLCV FROM THE MAIN PAGE IN THE GUI*
HOWEVER! Clicking on CLCV brings up the login page. If she ignores the login page, she can still access the rest of the site, including STAT, just fine. Logging in again (reissuing her credentials) does not help the situation.
Note that this is not a problem only for Jane Doe, the same thing happens for anyone in CLCV and in fact happens for me as Administrator of the whole site with full access, even.
*ACCESS DIRECTLY TO THE DIVISION BY URL WORKS*
With a slight modification to the login to allow access directly to the RobotCourses:CLCV Division (by adding the handle of the Division to the end of the location), credentials are issued exactly as before:
Issued credentials:
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV:CLCV115:CLCV1 15All-13564
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT
gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT:STAT100:STAT1 00X1-13570
and she is taken to the Division page, SUCCESSFULLY. So, it seems she actually HAS access, as expected.
*ACCESS CONFIRMED WITH DEBUGGING:*
Writing some code to generate not the actual login URL but rather a link that takes me to an "iTunes U Access Debugging" page for the Division (figured this out by reading some other posts! :)) I am taken to a page with the following:
(at generated URL https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/illinois.edu.1945806043/xxx5 64?credentials=....)
Received
Destination illinois.edu.1945806043

Signature 42ccef92a3298684a7a09eed45adb6b788a700c01645b8b423d33ace120650b0
Analysis
The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is valid and provides the following information:
Display Name Jane X Doe
Email Address [email protected]
Username jxdoe
User Identifier xxxxxxxxx
The credential string is valid and contains the following 4 recognized credentials:
1. gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV
2. gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:CLCV:CLCV115:CLCV1 15All-13564
3. gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT
4. gakusei@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu:RobotCourses:STAT:STAT100:STAT1 00X1-13570
The time string is valid and corresponds to 2009-03-12 17:12:27Z.
The signature string is valid.
Access
Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U.
In addition, the following 2 credentials were automatically added by iTunes U:
1. All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu
2. Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:illinois.edu
With these credentials, you have browsing and downloading access to the requested destination.
(In case you think to check the sums, be aware I've actually changed the student's name for this example.)
So, as expected, I have access, in fact the student DOES have access, visiting the Division page directly (specifiying its handle as part of the desired location).
*IT'S ONLY CLICKING THE THUMBNAIL ON THE MAIN PAGE THAT BREAKS*
Because the problem is only apparent when clicking the icon for the Division on the main Site page, I have no way (that I know of) to get any information about precisely WHAT is going on, what possibly differs in the GUI-click situation from the "generate me a URL that takes me right there" situation.
At that point I'm fully in the GUI, I'm not sending anything via web services, so I have no idea how I can proceed to debug this from here.
I'm also quite confused at the sudden appearance of this behavior, and the disappearance of this behavior from RobotCourses:PYSC, another Division that was broken in this same way all last week but which magically resumed allowing me access yesterday.
Any suggestions, hints, or advice would be very welcome. Has anyone else even seen behavior similar to this?
Thanks for any information you might have.

Maiko,
I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
Destination uic.edu.1139051993
is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
Destination uic.edu.1991288441
is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Free Goods of different division

Dear Gurus,
our sales department announced following sales promotion policy i.e. Buy one LCD (Division 60) and get one cemra (DIvision 30) free
we have successfully configured SAPSD free goods scenario, but at the same time we process one order for one division only. please note that for control purpose we have made our each product as division and same as credit control area
now as mentioned above free good division deviates from main item division, how can we cater both in one sale order. please note that in VOV8 we have maintained check division indicator 2(Error) and can not convert it in o or 1
please tell me how can we implement sales policy in SAP
BR
Sajida

Hi,,
please note that in VOV8 we have maintained check division indicator 2(Error) and can not convert it in o or 1
Even you removed 2 from document type then it will no impact on material division as it is only check purpose for more divisions can not be included in one document.
If you don't want to remove then system will not process material from more than 1 division.

Free Goods for Materials from the same division

Hi Friends,
We are trying to configure free goods based on customer and division in our system. If a customer orders any material belonging to a specific division, he is entitled for a free good.
For this we created a new condition table based on customer and division and maintained condition records that if he orders 100 qty of any material in Division 10 that he is entitled for 1 qty of material X.
Now the problem is that at the time of creating the sales order if Material A is entered for qty 50 and Material B is for qty 50 then the system does not give free goods. However, if we enter Materail A for 100 qty it gives the free goods 1 qty of Material X. Similarly, for Mat B with 100 qty it gives Mat X as free goods.
The system is not adding up the quantities for the multiple line items to calculate the free goods.
Is there any way by which we can achieve this.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi,
So far me too have configured and getting free goods for one material. for your requirement, i think you have to tell your Abaper to do corresponding Enhancement.
Thanks

Can amyone give me the solution to my email address [email protected]
Our client needs a high level SAP SD resource ON SITE to do a feasibility and estimation project. Basically they need to come in and determine how long the actual project will take. Below is their issue:
Per the client:
"When entering a sales order, there are 3 attributes that need to be assigned. The attribute in question is the "Division" attribute. We want to merge the multiple division attributes into one for future sales orders. Currently the division attribute is assigned separately, for example, "ABC" line products and "XYZ" line products are assigned a different division attribute. We want to combine this attribute into one "123" line. Apparently, this change has a domino effect on multiple other areas that also need to be changed to maintain the systems integrity."
They are looking for a person to evaluate this project and estimate the number of people hours and what types of people (expertise), to make all the necessary changes for this to be a successful project. The deliverable would be a project break down regarding what steps need to be taken, what resources will be needed, and ultimately how long the project would take.

Help/explanation needed - Using an external hard drive

Hi everyone,
I bought an external 250gb hard drive as my MBP was very close to full capacity. Yesterday, I had a bit of a scare...
1. I backed up my Aperture Library onto the external hard drive.
2. I had about 500 of my favourite images rated 5 star and so I selected these and set up a new project.
3. I went through my Aperture library deleting folders/projects that I have completed.
4. I went back into the 5 star ratings and they did not exist. I assume this is because I deleted the master files.
5. I wanted to have the 5 star images on my laptop and so I connected my external hard drive once again. [This is where I felt I lost control and understanding of what was going on].
6. I looked for the seperate Aperture files but could only find a file called Aperture Library. I clicked on this but nothing happened at all [I had thought that it would open up Aperture with the previous library].
7. I dragged the library onto my desktop and waiting for all the images to reload onto my laptop. I then saw that everything was as it was previously, i.e. all the files and images existed. However, my hard drive space was even lower [I assume this was because the current workflow that I had left on the laptop was now duplicated?].
8. Then I got a message saying my iDisk space is critically low and may damage my Aperture library. Moments later the majority of my images disappeared and a red space appeared where every photo had previously been. Since I have 2 weddings that I am yet to deliver I was very panicked. I tried to drag and drop the Aperture library once again and the message came back that the operation could not be completed due to the current file already existing.
9. I unplugged the external hard drive and the photos re-appeared [much to my delight]. However, my concern is that I really don't understand what happened and more importantly why. I will need access to the data on the external hard drive in the event in the near future and am worried that the same thing will happen next time I connect it.
As a result of all this I have some questions, as follows:-
- Have I adopted the completely wrong approach to backing up data?
- Can the master files be compressed as I shoot RAW and these are huge files?
- Why could I not use the Aperture library stored on the external hard drive without downloading it back onto the laptop?
and a more general question about file storage...
- I am confused as to how much hard drive space is being used on my MBP. I have 13gb in Aperture, 1gb in iTunes and 1gb in iPhoto. However, I only have 50gb available, so half the capacity is currently being used. I know that Aperture and Garageband applications use about 10gb between them and there is of course the operating system, but 50gb in total seems a lot. On investigation in the finder screen I see that on my personal drive the Aperture, iTunes and iPhoto data is stored there. However, it is also stored under pictures and music respectively. Does this mean that it is storing duplicate copies of this data and that is the explanation for such high hard drive usage? If this is the case, can one be removed?
I appreciate that this has been a long email, but I felt it was important to illustrate the steps I have taken. As you will no doubt glean from this post I am not the most computer literate person. Any help/explanation would be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie.
I am not sure what went wrong with your setup but I will let you know my configuration as an example and you can decide if you think it is a good way to have it. I am asuming you are using ver 1.5?
Like you I have only a Laptop (G4 17" 1.5Ghz 2 Gig Ram - would love a macbook) so hard disk space is a premium. I also have an external firewire drive to hold all the HiRes RAW images. When I download my images from the Camera I do it manually into folders on the external drive (Cataloged by Date and maybe description of location). I then Import the images from those folders into Aperture but use the option when importing to "Store Files - In their current location".
My Aperture library file is on my laptop so all that it has to store is the "Preview" file that gets generated automatically (in the preferences I have it set up to the resolution of my laptop 1440pix so that if I did a slide show it is only as big as my screen - anything more is a waste of disk space IMO.)
I do it this way so that it is easy to find and work on my files with other programs such as Photoshop by going straight to the image rather than exporting from Aperture.
Obviously I cant edit the RAW files while the drive is disconnected but I can still do ratings and keywords without the original files being there.
I hope this helps.
Regards
