General Question re logical workflow (Multiple Products/Sales Teams)

Currently we are upgrading from a highly customized CRM environment developed in CRM 4.0. We are hoping to move to an out of the box solution with 2015.
But I have a general question. We are a service company with different sales groups for each of our products.
Currently we have customization for each service so a Sales person is assigned to a specific product for the customer.
So my question is, how is this handled out of the box. I am sure there are many many many companies in the same situation.
So say 10 products with sales group for each product.
Then a customer with multiple departments. Each sales group needs to contact the specific department.
So a customer could potentially have 10 different sales people contacting different people in the customers organization.
How do you know when someone has already made contact?
If we just look at the activities it is not very clear that contact has been made for a specific product.
Even with our customizations, there have been many situations where 2 sales people contact the same person at a clients office and we end up looking very unorganized.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
If this is not the right place to post this type if discussion, please redirect me.
Thanks

As an example, for 37-minute sequence of footage (made up of multiple clips) it's taking 50 minutes to first export a non-self-contained, time-code-reader-filter-added Quicktime.
Did you render fully before you exported? That helps. But this is also a GOP format, and it takes longer to do pretty much everything, as it is a processor intensive format.
1) How much more memory would help this work flow go faster, and approx. how much faster??
None. RAM doesn't come into play here. PROCESSOR speed is all that matters. What will make it go faster is enabling QMaster to have Compressor access all cores of the processor. Or getting hardware to help with the compression, like the Compress HD from Matrox. But that only boosts encoding to H.264.
2) Has anyone else done this type of work-flow, and been able to do it more quickly? Is RAM the issue? Any suggestions for a more efficient work-flow?
RAM isn't the issue. Faster Processors, hardware boosting...converting the footage to ProRes before you begin editing...all help.
RAM isn't what is hindering you here.

General question for LabVIEW+iMAQ application productivity

We have received new biotech robotic system with LabVIEW control software. One of the software task is image recognition (robotic vision system). During images processing tasks memory is not used hard, but the CPU is always at 100 % utilization. Now the software is running at the computer with ordinary P4 2.4GHz.
Question: is there any sense to use Xeon system or multiprocessors system for the images processing acceleration? How deep is the LabVIEW code optimized for the different processors?

The LV code isn't very optimized specific to different CPU
architectures. A machine with bigger chip caches will probably give the
biggest advantage.
As for multiCPU, this really depends on how a LV diagram is written. I
saw a presentat
ion several years ago showing the gains a multiprocessor
system would give you in a vision system. If the diagrams are written
with parallelism in mind and the IMAQ VIs are made reentrant, the
multiple was good, close to the number of processors. But of course, if
there is no parallelism on the diagram, or the subVIs aren't reentrant,
the other processors have little to work on.
I'd ask the manufacturer of the biotech system if they have tried it or
designed it to scale. If I'm misunderstanding and you bought it from
NI, then I assume you have access to enough of the source code to make
things reentrant and program for parallelism. If you have trouble
writing your code for parallelism, ask more questions.

Particular sales order of the same line item hv created multiple production

sir,
I am having a problem in MD04. A particular sales order of the same line item hv created multiple production order.and continously planning is going on... I didn't get why it happens.
Will u please suggest me what should i do in this case?
Regards
Meenu

Hello sir,
yes, ofcourse, for the finished material have the BOM with some semifinished productes which are to be produced .
In co02 , we can go through the collective production order.
One more thing is that, in the multiple production order date(scheduling date) shows in forward(future dates).
For ex:09-05-2010.

Single Sales Order Multipler Production order

HI
I need to create multiple production order for a single item sales order. Is it possible ?
for Eg. i have received order for qty -- 100 & i want to create 10 different production order of qty 10 each. IS it possible ?
I need this to be done automatically.
Please susggest.
regards
Rupesh
Edited by: Rupesh Shah on Sep 2, 2008 11:08 AM

Hi Rupesh,
If you maintain max lot size system always create the planned orders in the same multiples which we mentioned in the material master to satisfy the requirement and if at all any left over qty is there (less than the multiple qty),system will create separate planned order for that qty.
In customization for lot size t code OMI4 FX open the details screen of the lot size which u are using
in the details screen there is a indicator LAST LOT EXACT now if u tick this indicator then the system will create thelot exact
Ex:
order qty 100 pcs,
as per ur reqment the system will create 4 lots of 25 pc each Run MRP Try this if u get the solution,.
Please note Strategy group 82 or 83
With this strategy , When creating a sales order, you can Create a production order directly.

Multiple production orders for sales order line item

hello Guru's
In our case Requirements are created in 2 ways
Case 1:
1) Sales Orders are created at Plant level with schedule line category CP
2) Sales Orders are created at Depot level
In the above mentioned 2 cases the requirements are taken as inputs and the process is carried at plant level
Step 1: Automated MDO3.
Sales Orders are created if there is short fall of the Quantity at the Depot and Plant Sales Orders are raised against the plant for which the requirements are generated and MRP run is carried out at Single Item single level.
Step 2:
For the results of the step1 are then transferred and Production orders are created for the planned Orders.
The issues is whenever there is change in confirmed quantity or change in confirmed date the requirements are considered again as inputs and the multiple production orders are getting generated for the single requirement
Actually we dont want this to have multiple production orders
regards

Hi,
Can you let us know the strategy group used for this material ? If i understood the query correctly, each time there is a change in the sales order (i.e. increase in qty), there is a triggering of new planned orders to meet that demand.

Vivek

Multiple Production ordersfor one sales order.

Hi Gurus,
We have a typical MTO scenario where depending on the requirement, a planned order is converted in to production order using MD04 or using CO08.
But when both are done, system is not throwing any error message or information message that the production order is already raised. Instead both the production orders are raised and in MD04 for one sales order we can find 2 production orders. i.e the required quantity is doubled. Even system is accepting the confirmation of these production orders.
In this case an end user can raise any number of production orders for one sales order using CO08.
Kindly suggest me any settings which could restrict the raise of multiple production orders for one sales order.
Thanks in Advance.
Warm Rgds,
Ganapathi Varma

Hy Ganpathi,
CO08 is manual Creation , so it is difficult to put such a control.Why you are not using sales order ---> Plan order --- >Production order means proper channel of MRP?
Pls try to control it by using Following User Exits.
- PPCO0006 Enhancement to predefine fields in order header
- PPCO0021 Enhancement for Order Release
But I this type of control creates problem when you really required new prod Order due to Malfunction or any other problem earlier order gets stuck up (less yield to complete the sales order)

Dhaval

General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

Hello to everyone,
I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog. Some of the pictures display perfectly. Others are blury. How can I fix this?

I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog. Some of the pictures display perfectly. Others are blury. How can I fix this? I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos. They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed. Must be another solution????

Ged,
whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

2 questions on BRF workflow for SC

Hello All
I have 2 questions on BRF workflow as follows:
1) My requirement is that the PO be created only after all the items in the Shopping cart (from all decision sets) are approved by separate agents. How do I enforce this using BRF ?The closest is Decision Type 3: Overall Decision for Partial Document (.The decision applies to the entire decision set)
2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?
Thanks
Kedar

PO can only be created only if all approver's approve the SC. it will be great if you give more details about the requirement.
2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?
Yes - a workitem could be sent to multiple approver's for a decision set, once any one of the appprover approve the SC, the workitem will be deleted automatically from rest of approver's UWL..

New tab for Contract for data about products and product sales.

Looking for ideas to implement a new tab on the Contract (RECN)
We have some basic data about products and product sales that we want to have implemented on a screen tab for a contract. The user needs to be able to enter information about a product, quantity, year grown, and tax info. And then each of these products may have one or many sales records showing date of sale, quantity sold, and a brief note.
So a contract can have 1 or many products and a product can have one or many sales records.
The user needs to be able to enter, update and delete any one of these records. And, ideally, enter multiple of each before saving.
Do any of you have ideas about how to go about this? Using ALV grids? or table controls? I'm still wet behind the ears regarding doing screen development in SAP so am open to any and all suggestiions.
SAP 6.4 is the version we are at.
Thanks
Laurie

Maybe the original order to renew and keep unlimited data was cancelled because it was not an option. It wasn't a "bait-and-switch" The order was cancelled, it wasn't switched. When you called to reissue the order they told you the correct options so they did not switch you without your knowledge. The second rep was correct, he didn't lie, the first rep did. Verizon cancelled the order because if they didn't you would have been set up w/ new 2 year agreements on a tiered data plan, which would have been illegal. Thats why they cancelled it. So you can either not make the change, keep the unlimited data and buy the phones outright. Or switch, go to a tiered plan, and get new phones. By glitch they meant the system accidentally allowed you to keep the unlimited plan, though it was not an option. Verizon has had this rule since they removed the unlimited plan back in '11.

Select multiple Products at a time

Hi,
While creating a new Sales Order in CRM, when you press F4 on Product ID field, we get multiple products on search help screen. we can select only one at a time. But requirement is to select multiple Products at a time and they need to be copied to the sales order at item level. How to acheive this?

Hi ,
After enhancing the view update the below piece of code.There it will be selmode_single u change that value for multiple selection.
typed_context->Your context Node->set_selection_mode( iv_selection_mode = cl_bsp_wd_context_node_tv=>selmode_multiedit ).

Camileo charging problem (solved) and a general question!

Hi all!
First of all, I was going to ask for help as to why the Camileo S10 was not charging (the orange light wasn't flashing), and I'd seen a few people with similar problems.
The solution?
Give the contacts on the battery a clean.
The insulation sticker that comes on it must leave some kind of residue on it, and it's enough to prevent charging. Now it's flashing away happily :]
So my general question was, is it possible/advisable to use the camera on the mains?
Rather than constantly draining and charging the battery during long shoots, I'd prefer to just leave it plugged in!
Thanks very much in advance!
Paul

Hi
I think the battery handling is always the same no matter what product it is
From time to time the battery should be recalibrated.
This means that the battery should be discharged fully and after then you should charge it again until the battery would reach 100%
I do this with all my batteries; mobile phone battery, digi cam battery and notebook battery.

Multiple production order

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem that sap system generates in one sales order multiple production order in mto cases,now from table i want to find out the multiple production order against one sales order pl tellme the selelection criteria.

Dear ,
The best way to address this issue to check the report
1.MD4C-Give Sales Order , it will display all the Planned Order , Production Order etc
2.COOIS-Order Header -Stantdar Profile -Enter Plant Code /Order Type , Sales Order Number and Execute , It will diplay all the Sales order with respected line itme .
Please make sure that all the sales order have credit realsed (VKM3-Sales Order ) .
4.You can also check thriough COHV/CO46 etc .
Try and revert

Release of Multiple Production Orders

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a process that would enable the release and close multiple production orders?
Best regards

Hi Gordon,
I was sure that was the case. However, I thought I would put it question out there hoping that someone may have devised a solution. SDK it is.

Gneration of multiple Production Order from multi level BOM

Hi Experts,
My customer has multi level BOM. meaning child item also has its own BOM - 4 Level.
FG-Pack - Make
      FG - Make
           SFG - Make
                RM - Buy
Their process is once they create Production Order for final Finished Good, System should also create Production order for child which it self are of make type and has own BOM defined in system.
They wish that once the create Production order for FG-Pack, system should automatic generate production order for FG and SFG as both of these has BOM defined and are of procurement type Make.
So first they will close the chile production order and receives qty. in ware house, they will issue this child qty. against main production order, and then completes the main production order.
So they remains informed about the child item stock.
My question is SAP Business One supports creation of multiple Production Order?
BR
Samir Gandhi

Hi Samir Gandhi,
There is no build-in function for this task. You need add-on or SDK for the job.
If the sub level BOM items are phantom, you can create a big production order including all sub BOM components. That is system supported.
Thanks,
Gordon
