GL Balance API's

Are there any standard GL Balance API's or routines available? I am looking for a standard package that will allow us to make balance calls from code similar to the Balance Inquiry form in GL.

Hi
You can find all the API details in the following link

Performance of Balance API in Payroll.....

We have one years worth of payroll data (145,000,000 in pay_run_result_values). Many of the recently deliver year-end pl/sql scripts use the pay_us_tax_balance_pkg (Balance API) and run for several days!!!!!! One call to this API takes 1-2 hours.
What can we do aside from adding hardware?
I tried Anaylzing tables and enabling Cost Based Optimizer and things were only worse. We can not modify the code (it is using dynamic SQL btw). HELP!
null

Hi,
I am not sure what is your requirement.As far as my knowledge is concerned there is no Previous YTD balance dimension.
You have balance_dimension suc as YTD,QTD,RUN etc.When you call function the pay_balance_pkg.get_value , you need to pass the balance_dimension,
assignment_id and date_earned parameter andit will retrun the appr value.In your case pass the previous year date for which you need data.
Hope this helps.

VRO 5.5.2 Cluster Mode

When you configure vRO 5.5.2 in cluster mode, is the load balancer VIP registered with SSO, and the vSphere Web Client?
How does this affect executing workflows from the vSphere Web Client?

Is there anyone out there that has configured a vRO cluster (Active\Active) that is using the vSphere Web Client? Is this configuration possible?
My requirement is to use the vRO cluster to load balance API calls, and still use the vSphere Web Client to execute workflows. I have tried to configure the web client to use the load balanced ip address, and that fails. Also, I am unable to register more than 1 node in the MOB. If I attempt to register the second node it overwrites the entry for the 1st node. Is this expected? I have removed, and added them one at a time, several times now.
Some guidance on this configuration would be greatly appreciated.

In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading via api

Hi all,
I am doing initial balances migration...
In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading though an api.. (pay_balance_upload.process).
First I have loaded data in to pay_balance_batch_headers and pay_balance_batch_lines tables..
Then called the api pay_balance_upload.process. and the data was reflecting correctly in front end.
But we need to reconcile the loaded data.. for that, can anyone please tell me in which the loaded balances would be stored..
I have identified two tables, pay_assignment_latest_balances
and pay_latest_balances
when I try to create a balance from frontend I can see the data in pay_latest_balances table..
But when I load via api I am not able to find it in any of these tables..
In addition to that can anyone please tell me when the data will be populated in pay_assignment_latest_balances and pay_latest_balances tables.
Awaiting for your help and quick response..
Thanks and Regards
Kishore

You have followed the correct process..As Vignesh said, you can use pay_balance_pkg.get_value to make sure you have the correct values uploaded but otherwise if you are able to see the values in the front end I wouldn't worry about the latest balances tables. These tables, as the name indicate, hold only the latest values and if a payroll (ran post the initial balance upload) has been rolled back, these are deleted since they are no longer available.
You can refer the below Metalink notes for a detailed explanation:

Balancing Braces via the DW API

I'm attempting to create my first extension, but I'm running
into a bit of trouble. I would like to balance braces from the
current selection and then collapse the selected code. Everything's
working except for the balance braces part.
When I try to run the dom.source.balanceBracesTextview()
function per the API documentation, I get the following error:
"dom.source.balanceBracesTextview() is not a function."
I've attached the function that attempts to do this
functionality.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

There seems to be a typo in the documentation. Try
balanceBracesTextView() (with a capital V). If you search the
DW
Configuration folder, you'll find a few examples.
Also, this exchange is more for DW Server Model and Database
stuff.
You'll probably get a better response for extensibility
questions in the
macromedia.exchange.extensions.dreamweaver forum.

Opening balance and closing balance on Receivables Customer Statement repor

I need an opening balance and closing balance of the customer statement in one report. Currently I developed a custom Customer statement report in report builder 6i. I developed a custom procedure to retrieve the previous statement balance. I’m able to successfully retrieve ending balance statement with sysdate but if I go back to previous date or previous statement date then I’m not getting the right ending balance of the report.
Even the seeded api arp_customer_aging provides the ending balance for sysdate but not for previous dates because this api always looks back to amount due remaining column(ar_payment_schedules_all).
Did any one ever develop a custom logic to get previous balance and ending balance on one single customer statement?

Hi,
I am working on the same logic. My program loads opening and closing balance and a list of items everyday. The GL_balances table gives you current balance but if you want the previous balance, you have to use : "gl_daily_balances" table and provide accounting_date for which you want the balance.
Hope this Helps!

AR Invoicemigration that do not effect inventory balances

I using the SDK and the DI API to import Open AR invoices from another platform into SAP B1. Is there a property I could set in either the Documents Object or the Documents Line object that will allow me to NOT update Inventory balances? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
TIA

Dana,
There is not a property in the SDK that will stop the balances from being affected. You would need to post the transactions and then set the balances using adjusting entries to where they need to be in reality.

API to Update the DISCOUNT_DATE and DISCOUNT_AMOUNT_AVAILABLE column

Hi,
I am doing one inbound interface where I needs to Update the DISCOUNT_DATE and DISCOUNT_AMOUNT_AVAILABLE column in AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL table for each invoice. So that the value will display in Schedule Payments tab of the invoice workbench screen.
Requesting to suggest any public/private API for this process.
Any help will be needful for me
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to develop a report to display bank balance chart with the following details in the output.They are :
1. Posting Date
2. Bill Discount (BD)
3. Letter of Credit(LC)
4. Cheque Amount may be cheque issued.
5. Deposits.
Above are the information which i have to display based on Posting Date range , Company Code and Bank Key present in the selection-screen.
Below are my few observations:
1. To retrieve the Bill Discount, I am first fetching the data from BKPF table by checking the document types 'DZ' ,'KZ', Company code and Posting Date Range. Then using document number,company code present in these entries along with Posting key = 39 and special GL indicator = 'W' retrieving the data like DMBTR,WRBTR from BSEG.
2. Similarly for Letter of Credit amount retrieving the data in the same way as mentioned above except special GL indicator will be 'Y'.
Now please correct me if my approach is wrong. Request you all to throw some light as I am Technical Consultant and humbly looking forward to all your help.
Also, request to let me know the logic or process how one can calculate fourth point as well as Fifth point as mentioned above.
Edited by Raghavendra Kulkarni.
I am just looking for flow of data/process flow/standard transactions through which I can see these above mentioned things which can help me in building the logic. At least a general approach to this will be appreciated highly.

Raghavendra Kulkarni.

Customer Statement and DI API Invoices

Hi,
We are running SAP Business One 2007A PL5.
We have a number of invoices that have been created by the DI API used by the Radio Beacon/SAP interface. These invoices are not appearing on the customer statement.
The only noticable difference in the OINV table is that these invoices have a data source of 'O'.
It seems the statement is not recognising invoices with a data source of 'O'.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a fix for it?
Also, we have some invoices that have 'A' for Auto Summary... out of interest, what is this exactly?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I am not sure what the issue is, however, there has been quite some changes to the ageing and reconciliation functionality from version 2005 SP01 to 2007, the main change between these 2 versions is actually the ageing and the reconciliation functionality. So there might be something missing in the Invoices. Also, PL5 is a pretty early version of 2007.
Question 1 - are they appearing on the Customer Account Balance as it is opened from the BP Master Data?
For the data source 'A', I think it stands for the 'Document Generation Wizard'.
Thanks,
Jesper

ABAP Proxy Set up and Load balancing

Hi All,
We have a SAP ECC 5.0 PRD server in our landscape. I need to set up ABAP Proxy in the server.
They have implemented Load balancing in the ECC 5.0 PRD server. They have two servers (One Central Server and another APP Server) and one of the servers will be used at any point in time based on load conditions.
Now where exactly i have to perform the ABAP Proxy set up and how does it work at runtime.
Thanks in advance.

Sudharshan N A

Hey,
    refer to this.
R3 side
SLDCHECK
Use this transaction to access the SLD of XI.
SLDAPICUST
Create an entry for respective XI server
requires hostname, port username and ip.
Can have multiple enteries for different servers.
But you can check only one entry.
based on the entry that is checked, respective SLD API will be triggered from
SLDCHECK.
SM59 (T type connections).
To connect to the SLD you need 2 types of TCP/IP connections.
1)LCRSAPRFC:-
      In this you require the gateway host(ip address) and gatewayservice(sapgw[system no.])
      YOu also need to give Program ID.
      Entry of corresponding Program ID must be maintained in SMGW.
      IN SMGW Click GoTo->logged on Clients.
      If entry is not there for corresponding XI.
      Create a communication channel in XI, pointing to R3 and give a Program ID
      in the channel. Once the channel is activated, corresponding Program ID wil
      appear in SMGW.
2)SAPSLDAPI:-
     In this case follow the same porcedure as for LCRSAPRFC.
   As far as the Program ID is concerned te procedure mentioned above is for
   Customized RFC's
   The RFC destinations mentioned here are both standard RFC's
   Hence for these two RFC's no need to Create Program ID's. you just need to
   change the System ID of the Program ID.
   Both these RFC's are maintained in the J2ee server of XI.
SPROXY.
   In this transcation you can check the Proxies.
   If the proxies are not activated (i.e. if the message interfaces are not active)
   this step is optional
   then you need to maintain one G type RFC destination pointing the resepctive XI server.
   In the G tpye RFC destination give the Ip adress of the XI server in the target
   host and set the path prefix as /rep.
   Goto SPROXY->Goto->connection test-> click on the table SPROXSET.
   In this table maintain enteries for ADDRESS_ONLY_FROM_SPROXSET and IFR_HTTP_DEST
   The values corresponding to these enteries will be the G tpye RFC destination.
In order to connect R3 to the Integaration server you need to maintain H type
The default RFC is XI_INTEGRATIONSERVER. In you need to give the Target host entry as the
Ip address and Path Prefic as.../sap/XI/engine/?type=entry (this you can get from SXMB_ADM of XI)
You can also create the H type RFc of your own.
goto SXMB_ADM(r3) and open Integration engine configuration.
regards,
    Milan

Are mutliple database calls really significant with a network call for a web API?

At one of my employers, we worked on a REST (but it also applies to SOAP) API. The client, which is the application UI, would make calls over the web (LAN in typical production deployments) to the API. The API would make calls to the database.
One theme that recurs in our discussions is performance: some people on the team believe that you should not have multiple database calls (usually reads) from a single API call because of performance; you should optimize them so that each API call has only
(exactly) one database call.
But is that really important? Consider that the UI has to make a network call to the API; that's pretty big (order of magnitude of milliseconds). Databases are optimized to keep things in memory and execute reads very, very quickly (eg. SQL Server loads and
keeps everything in RAM and consumes almost all your free RAM if it can).
TLDR: Is it really significant to worry about multiple database calls when we are already making a network call over the LAN? If so, why?
To be clear, I'm talking about order of magnitude -- I know that it depends on specifics (machine hardware, choice of API and DB, etc.) If I have a call that takes O(milliseconds), does optimizing for DB calls that take an order of magnitude less, actually
matter? Or is there more to the problem than this?
Edit: for posterity, I think it's quite ridiculous to make claims that we need to improve performance by combining database calls under these circumstances -- especially
with a lack of profiling. However, it's not my decision whether we do this or not; I want to know what the rationale is behind thinking this is a correct way of optimizing web API calls.

But is that really important? Consider that the UI has to make a network call to the API; that's pretty big (order of magnitude of milliseconds). Databases are optimized to keep things in memory
and execute reads very, very quickly (eg. SQL Server loads and keeps everything in RAM and consumes almost all your free RAM if it can).
The Logic
In theory, you are correct. However, there are a few flaws with this rationale:
From what you stated, it's unclear if you actually tested / profiled your app. In other words, do you actually know that
the network transfers from the app to the API are the slowest component? Because that is intuitive, it is easy to assume that it is. However, when discussing performance, you should never assume. At my employer, I am the performance lead. When I first joined,
people kept talking about CDN's, replication, etc. based on intuition about what the bottlenecks must be. Turns out, our biggest performance problems were poorly performing database queries.
You are saying that because databases are good at retrieving data, that the database is necessarily running at peak performance, is being used optimally, and there is nothing that can be done
to improve it. In other words, databases are designed to be fast, so I should never have to worry about it. Another dangerous line of thinking. That's like saying a car is meant to move quickly, so I don't need to change the oil.
This way of thinking assumes a single process at a time, or put another way, no concurrency. It assumes that one request cannot influence another request's performance. Resources are shared,
such as disk I/O, network bandwidth, connection pools, memory, CPU cycles, etc. Therefore, reducing one database call's use of a shared resource can prevent it from causing other requests to slow down. When I first joined my current employer, management believed
that tuning a 3 second database query was a waste of time. 3 seconds is so little, why waste time on it? Wouldn't we be better off with a CDN or compression or something else? But if I can make a 3 second query run in 1 second, say by adding an index, that
is 2/3 less blocking, 2/3 less time spent occupying a thread, and more importantly, less data read from disk, which means less data flushed out of the in-RAM cache.
The Theory
There is a common conception that software performance is simply about speed.
From a purely speed perspective, you are right. A system is only as fast as its slowest component. If you have profiled your code and found that the Internet is the slowest component, then everything else is obviously not the slowest part.
However, given the above, I hope you can see how resource contention, lack of indexing, poorly written code, etc. can create surprising differences in performance.
The Assumptions
One last thing. You mentioned that a database call should be cheap compared to a network call from the app to the API. But you also mentioned that the app and the API servers are in the same LAN. Therefore, aren't both of them comparable as network calls? In
other words, why are you assuming that the API transfer is orders of magnitude slower than the database transfer when they both have the same available bandwidth? Of course the protocols and data structures are different, I get that, but I dispute the assumption
that they are orders of magnitude different.
Where it gets murkey
This whole question is about "multiple" versus "single" database calls. But it's unclear how many are multiple. Because of what I said above, as a general rule of thumb, I recommend making as few database calls as necessary. But that is
only a rule of thumb.
Here is why:
Databases are great at reading data. They are storage engines. However, your business logic lives in your application. If you make a rule that every API call results in exactly one database call, then your business logic may end up in the database. Maybe that
is ok. A lot of systems do that. But some don't. It's about flexibility.
Sometimes to achieve good decoupling, you want to have 2 database calls separated. For example, perhaps every HTTP request is routed through a generic security filter which validates from the DB that the user has the right access rights. If they do, proceed
to execute the appropriate function for that URL. That function may interact with the database.
Calling the database in a loop. This is why I asked how many is multiple. In the example above, you would have 2 database calls. 2 is fine. 3 may be fine. N is not fine. If you call the database in a loop, you have now made performance linear, which means it
will take longer the more that is in the loop's input. So categorically saying that the API network time is the slowest completely overlooks anomalies like 1% of your traffic taking a long time due to a not-yet-discovered loop that calls the database 10,000
times.
Sometimes there are things your app is better at, like some complex calculations. You may need to read some data from the database, do some calculations, then based on the results, pass a parameter to a second database call (maybe to write some results). If
you combine those into a single call (like a stored procedure) just for the sake of only calling the database once, you have forced yourself to use the database for something which the app server might be better at.
Load balancing: You have 1 database (presumably) and multiple load balanced application servers. Therefore, the more work the app does and the less the database does, the easier it is to scale because it's generally easier to add an app server than setup database
replication. Based on the previous bullet point, it may make sense to run a SQL query, then do all the calculations in the application, which is distributed across multiple servers, and then write the results when finished. This could give better throughput
(even if the overall transaction time is the same).
TL;DR
TLDR: Is it really significant to worry about multiple database calls when we are already making a network call over the LAN? If so, why?
Yes, but only to a certain extent. You should try to minimize the number of database calls when practical, but don't combine calls which have nothing to do with each other just for the sake of combining them. Also, avoid calling the database in a loop at all
costs.

Balancing unbalanced Pages tree

A Pages tree in a PDF should of course be a balanced tree. But PDFs exist where all the pages are in a single array, and we must deal with them. I am faced with a file with a Pages tree with more than 10,000 elements in the Kids array. Performance is terrible, gets exponentially worse as one gets towards the end of the file, and Acrobat and plug-ins appear to hang because simple APIs take a long time to complete.
I know that, if one adds pages entirely in Acrobat the pages are balanced. And I know there is no API specifically to rebalance a tree. But I was wondering if a particular API or sequence of APIs would lead to the tree being rebalanced as a side effect. I thought maybe adding a page to the end of the file would work, but that just splits the array into one small one and one with the rest of the elements (rather than a 50:50) split. Any ideas? I'm trying various things, but waiting around to see if they work is rather tedious. (I suspect that adding a page after each 100 pages, then deleting them, might have the desired effect.)

Interestingly, I wrote a simple balancer for this file (simply divides into N nodes of N elements, where N~=sqrt(nodes). So N is about 100 in this case; not an optimal tree, but a quick balancing act. This balancing is not as heavyweight as I expected, just taking a few seconds. And once done, performance on this file returns to normal; before it would take several minutes just to delete a page, or iterate through all pages. Since it does not alter pages (except the Parent key of each Page dictionary) there does not seem to be any notification required.
Can you think of any downside to this little trick?

Creating Quantity only transaction without effecting any GL account balance

Hello,
Can anybody please let me know how I can create inventory without effecting ay GL
account balances? I thought Intial Quantities transaction under
Inventory transaction module should do it but that is impacting GL
accounts. If we create a GoodsOrder PO, inventory will be added but it
impacts a couple of GL account balances as well. But I donot want GL
account balances to ge impacted.
Please help!!
Best regards,
Sudha

Hi Samudrikam Sudha
It can not be done. When doing anything inside SBO through DTW or Front end or DI API. When you add a document you are actual "posting a transaction". When I use the word "posting" it means it has a financila impact.
That is the way SAP Business One works. What are you trying to achieve?? Surely you are aware stock can not increase without increasing your stock account. If it didn't then how would the moving average (cost price) of the item match back to the stock account???
Hope the above helps
