Grading for projection?

Anyone got any suggestions for colour grading for decent results for viewing via a projector?
We've created a DVD from XDCAM footage and are pretty happy with it but colors seem washed out.

High res and quality comes always from the source first!
Anything shot on 35mm and with wise lighting is more likely to look,
as you say, good or better on TV monitors and projectors.
However higher TV /projector resolution doesn't mean that
any grain or imperfection from a master and in particularly from its DVD compression will vanish, on the contrary
it will show up indeed!
As you probably know 4:2:2 colour sample
is the minimum requirement for some sort of decent colour grading with relatively low loss of quality (I believe XDCAM mainly records 4:2:0, although I read somewhere that the XDCAM EX can output 4:4:2 in some circumstances)
That means that with 4:2:0 colour sample footage you have to be extremely careful when colour grading.
Besides viewing your grading on a high def monitor you should check for any increase of grain, colour temperature, white, in fact always keep an eye on the vectorscope for best results.
Images reproduced by average monitors and projectors won't perfectly match what you see on your High def monitor, nevertheless the latter is the most reliable tool to assess the best balance you can achieve with your video material!

Hi,
For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
SE11 >>> table PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

Production Order For Project with plant stock

Hi,
We have a scenario where in we are required to create a production order for a project.
But the material(raw material) is in a storage location and is a stock item. Even the header material is also a stock item and it to stored in the storage location.
But the order is to be created for Project and to be settled to the Project. Now the system is not allowing me to create the order.
The error is :
"Project does not allow make-to-order stock
Message no. CO746
Diagnosis
There is no project stock for the project.
To create a production order with reference to a WBS element the project must allow project stock to be maintained.
Procedure
You should select a project that allows project stock."
Now,
I don't want to have a project stock. How to go forward...
Regards
Pavan

Hi,
What is the strategy you are using. If you are using strategy 20, then chnage it to 40.
Also maintain individual/collective indicator to "1" - individual in MRP-4 view. So that when the order is created, the stock will be reserved as Q-project stock.
thanks and regards

Opening Balances for Project Costing in R12

Hi All,
What are the Open transactions should be migrated as Opening Balance in Project Costing (R12) for Projects and Tasks. Here at client place cost will come from Inv, PO, AP and OTL to Project costing (R12). Can you please explain in detail (Opening Balances & Historical Cost - How to Migrate)?
Waiting for replies...

Hi
Usually on implementation of Projects, people are migrating total historical costs per project.
Depend on your current system, you may convert the historical data summarized by project, task, expenditure organization and expenditure type. There is an option to summarize costs into the latest period, just before starting the future transactions import into Projects. Otherwise, consider summarizing cost data per period, per quarter or per year.
The summarized data may be loaded as miscellaneous expenditures into Projects.
Be aware that for converted expenditures you should setup a Transaction Source which is costed and accounted.

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.

COGS Value showing as null for Projects

Hi All,
We have a report called Revenue Report. In this report we track the revenue and cogs value for both OM orders and Projects. We are able to see th cogs value for OM order(i.e. sales order)but not for projects. We are using OOTB out of box mapping(i.e.SDE_ORA_GLCOGS) for populating cogs value.So we have approached oracle team to address this issue. Please find the below reply from Oracle. Can somebody help me how to calculate COGS value for projects.
BIApps 7.9.6.x do not support the integration of Project and COGS out of the box. If you have cogs trx from Projects and would like to extract these trx, you can customize the SDE sql.
[OOTB sql in SDE_ORA_GLCOGS]
WHERE
MMT.TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID IN (15, 33, 10008) AND
(MMT.TRANSACTION_ACTION_ID,MTA.ACCOUNTING_LINE_TYPE ) IN
((27, 2), (1, 36), (36, 35))
MMT : MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
MTA : MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS
15 = RMA Receipt (Return Material Authorization)
33 = Sales order issue (Ship Confirm external Sales Order)
10008 = COGS Recognition
(27, 2) = (Receipt into stores, Account)
(1, 36) = (Issue from stores, Deferred Cost of Goods Sold)
(36, 35) = (COGS Recognition, Cost of Goods Sold)
These are OOTB default values to extract the cogs trx for sales order etc. These are configurable. You can add/modify these values as needed. You can check the OLTP MTL module for the meaning of each values

Please do not post duplicates -- COGS Value showing up as null Projects

Trying to dynamically load CSS for project at compile time via config XML file to select CSS file.

I'm using the same code base to compile different versions of a project. Each project has different base fonts. I've created multiple css files that use the same style names. The idea being that in the code I reference the style names, then the loaded CSS determines which font (and size, color, etc) is used for each style name.
The CSS files are compiling to SWFs, and those SWFs are referenced in config.xml files. Before compiling, I select the config file to use.
I am loading the CSS SWF files via the StyleManager in the Application.mxml, like so:
styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations( _contentData.elements( 'cssPath' ).@path )
The path traces out correctly as:
assets_embed/styles/project2.swf
For some reasone I must include an fx:Style line in the Application.mxml file or no fonts are recognized. Example:
<fx:Style source="assets_embed/styles/project1.css"/>
If I reference the css for project one (as done above) then most, but not all, styles work. Some styles reference the fonts from the project 1 css, others properly use fonts from project 2 swf. If I point to the CSS for the project I'm compiling in the <fx:Style > tag then all fonts work, but that defeats the goal of using XML rather than code to identify the styles.
So, why do I need the fx:Style line if the css is being loaded via StyleManager?
Why is there "cross talk" between style definitions?
Is there a better way to select styles at compile time?

I read this quickly so I might have missed a detail. I think your describing an issue with recent Flex releases that is described in the fine print somewhere. If you don't have any fonts embedded in the main app and are only bringing in fonts embedded in CSS SWFs, you have to force-link the EmbeddedFontRegistry by adding something like this to the main app's script block.
import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry; EmbeddedFontRegistry;
(Yes, "EmbeddedFontRegistry" is in there twice, once to define the fully qualified name, the other to create a class dependency to force the linking).

Hai Long,
For getting BCWS , you should maintain Progress version. DO following in config settings..
1) Project Sys -
Progress -
Progress analysis -
Maintain Progress version.
2) Select Progress version 100 and copy the same and give new name.
3) Go to details.
4) Select option 3 ( if basis for Progress is Budget) 4 ( If it is planned cost) for Earned Value Basis.
5) Select option 2 ( if basis for Progress is Budget) 7 ( If it is planned cost) for POC weighting.
6) Save it.
7) In your project select Progress tab in detail screen of WBSE and Activity and select above Progress version, select select cost propotional ( Or as suitable for ur requirement) plan and actual ( it is adviseable to have plan and actual same always to have clarity in results)
8) Schedule and see report in CN41N.

Its upto you if you want maintain material master record or not for non valuated material. With material master you have a material code to input in the field of PO, without material master you put in short text.

Account determination for project stock delivery (for movement type 281Q)

Hello
We are trying to carry out delivery for project stock (CNS0) using movement type 281Q.
We notice that there is no account modifier availalbe for this scenario resulting in error during PGI. However, we can do PGI after changing the config of account determination without account modifier.
Since working without an account modifier is not acceptable for various business reasons, we must have an account modifier defined. We are wondering why SAP has not provided a standard solution for dealing with project stock delivery.
Can any one please suggest how to deal this situation.
Thanks and warm regards,
Jagadeeesh

We have business requirement as stated below:
We need to procure materials for specific Projects but also want to track the stock for the Project by value in the invnetory. In other words, the encumbrance of the procurement needs to take place against the Project but we want to be able to take it into inventory as a valuated stock and issue to the WBS whenever it is required.
Is this possible? What we know is that as soon as we give reference of the WBS for the Procurement, it gets expensed to the Project and we cannot value manage in inventory.
The reason for this requirement is there is a long time between when the item is procured and when it is used for the project. Till such time we have to track the Project items in the inventory as any other stock but its still tagged for the project and encumbrance would need to have happened
Any ideas on how to deal with this will be appreciated
Thanks

How to download and upload long text for project, WBS , Network,

Hi all,
I have two isssues.
1) I am extracting Projects, WBS , Network , Network activity and network activity element from a SAP 4.7 system using bapi's
BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAIL
BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO
BAPI_BUS2054_GETDATA
I am able to get all the details except long text. I want to know how do i extract the long text other than getting it manually by using select_text and Read_text Function module, is there any bapi to achieve this.
The reason why i am not using Function modules Read_text and Write_text is, object name( TDNAME ) value stored in STXH table for project, wbs and network are the project, wbs and network itself so i dont have any issues with this but the TDname value for activity and activity element are completely different ( Routing number and counter is stored respectively ) which i am not getting as the part of the bapi(BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO) output.
2) I have to upload the extracted Project and it sub object data to ECC 6.0 system , i am able to achieve this by using BAPI's BAPI_PROJECTDET_CREATE, BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. I am not able to load the longtext for the same, is there any way to load the long text .
All help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

I don't think there is any BAPI to do it.
We are doing it by read_text & edit_text . required fields for text name can be fetched by following select
if not e_activity[] is initial.
    select aaufnr aaufpl baplzl bobjnr b~vornr
      into corresponding fields of table t_longtext
      from afko
        as a
    left join afvc
        as b
        on aaufpl = baufpl
       for all entries in e_activity
       where a~aufnr = e_activity-network
       and a~aufnr is not null.
endif.
      txtname = wa_longtext-objnr.
      replace c_nv in txtname with sy-mandt.
