Groups and Auxs - confused Newbie

Can someone please explain the difference between a group and a bus.
Case: I want to group my drum tracks to a group to apply automation etc. If I create the group in the mixer, select each drum track and say t's art of the groupdo I still need to apply a 'send' in each track inspector to the aux/bus of the same number as teh group?
I'm sure this is a Doh! moment for many but despite reading three manuals I can't understand the logic (no pun).
Thanks

Older versions of Logic (up to 7?) had "Bus Channels" - if you have an older project or template, you will have these objects. If you are in version 8 or 9, creating a new file from scratch which will not have these objects.
An auxiliary is a CHANNEL and a bus is a PATH.
This is the way it should have been implemented from the beginning, but it wasn't so the confusion spread. A bus is any circuit accepts input from multiple sources. Other than the channels, most everything on an analog mixer is a bus; the main stereo mix, the submasters, the auxes, the matrix, etc.
Think of a bus as a virtual wire. It can be tapped into for a variety of things, from aux sources to compressor side chains. Once you put a signal on a bus in Logic (usually through an aux send) that signal can be used in multiple ways, by multiple objects.
The auxiliaries can be used for effects or for subgrouping. They are channels with faders and inserts. On hardware mixers, the auxiliary 'channels' are usually little more than level knobs for input and output. Obviously, larger consoles have much greater flexibility in this regard.
In Logic 8 and 9, you can create a bus "object" in the environment. I wouldn't touch this, BUT IF YOU DO, the cool thing is that you can get at the signal on the bus and effect it - if you want to.
For example, say you had a snare on track 1, and used an aux send (at unity) which sent its signal over bus 1 to auxiliary 1. If you created a 'bus object' in the environment and pulled down the faer by -6dB, the auxiliary will get a signal that is 6dB down from unity.
An auxiliary is a channel, a bus is a path (except for that crazy 'bus object')

Customer Groups and Customer Credit Groups

Hello
I was going through the documentation for Credit Management, but I was confused on what the difference was between customer groups and customer CREDIT Groups.. both of them sort of have the same definition, then what is the difference ?
Please help me out.
Regards,

Hi Raj,
For your info :
The credit group groups together different business transactions which should be dealt with in the same manner with regard to the credit check.
You enter the credit groups when you configure the sales document types for credit management and define the automatic credit check.
Default settings
The following credit groups are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System:
01 = credit group for sales order
02 = credit group for delivery
03 = credit group for goods issue
Actions
1. Check whether you can use the credit groups in the standard system.
2. If you need to create new credit groups, enter an alphanumeric key with two characters and a descripion for the credit group.
A customer group tells to which a customer can belongs to.
You specify the customer group for sales data in the customer master record for each sales area.
The SAP System copies this specification automatically into the sales documents at header and item level. Here, you will find the customer group on the detail screen for general business data.
Actions
1. Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and a description for the customer groups.
2. Make sure that the customer groups are entered in the customer master records.
Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

Use Parameter to choose Group and Sort options

I've got a report that gets used for several different puposes, and needs to be grouped or sorted differently each time. How can I use a parameter to let the user choose the group and sort options at runtime?
I'm using CR2008, and SAP B1 2005. The various grouping options I want to offer include SKU, Vendor and Description, and sorting within those Groups by SKU or Description.
I'm a newbie with CR, so detailed instructions would be really helpful.

You can create a report using parameter field. Follow these steps
-- Create new parameter in the field explorer window
-- The parameter shouls be static and enter all the field names on which you want to create in the values option
-- Now create a formula like this
if {?Parameter}="fieldname1" then
else
if {?Parameter}="fieldname2" then
else
-- Now insert new group and select this formula
-- Now the group will change according to the parameter selected
Please note that if you have different data types of fields you must need to convert totext()
as If condition will allow only one data type output.
Also when you insert any group by default the data is sorted on grouped field. If you want to sort on another field then you need to insert a summary field on that and go to report>group sort expert>select the field-->All based on the summary inserted.
Hope this helps!

I am a little confused here. The following sets under the sub-group has a logical u201CANDu201D . the customer corporate reporting group would like to see the Config to allow each group of accounts defined as ruleXa reconciled to group of accts defined as ruleXb, e.g.
Rule 2A with Rule 2B
Rule 3A with Rule 3B etc
Each Company set should only reconcile with the partner set.
looked at this OSS Note 1499183 - ICR: Documents are not assigned to the object groups & got even more confused.
Request if you can advice here.

Hello Johannes,
Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not possible.
Object groups are defined using the information in the totals table. Therefore fields only available in the line item table cannot be used when setting up object groups. Unfortunately it is also not possible to set up status fields on the totals level because of the standard update process of those fields when setting a status (the line item table is modified directly, there is no totals update). Depending on the details of your setup you might be able to simply add a "normal" field on the totals level and then fill it via BADI. This would probably work quite well if the field does not have to be set manually - and in this case you do not really need the functionality of setting a status manually either.
I hope this helps you in your efforts!

Configuring Groups and Transport Targets

Hi All,
I went through SAP help for this..i found this a little confusing.
Do i create groups DEV,QAS,PRD in XI development SLD. Or the groups should be there in the respective systems SLD.
In my case in Dev SLD only the development systems is visible in the SLD and in QAS the quality systems are visible in the SLD.
Do i need to show all the systems in each of the SLD?
Does the SAP help mean that we have only one SLD for the development, quality and production systems?
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Bhavesh,
I have different SLD. One each for DEV, QA, PRD.
i have installed CMS in development XI system
>>>>, in the QA SLD , you would need the Dev and the QA transprot Group and then create the trasnprot targets for the same.
Does it mean that in my QA SLD all the systems which are there in the Development system should be there?
Or shall i export the development SLD and then import it in the QA server.
Im on XI7.0 sp 9.
Regards,
Rahul

Deactivation of code groups and task codes in PM/CS notification

hi experts, would like to ask regarding Plant Maintenance and Customer Service module. Is it possible to disable code groups and task codes assign to notification type? instead of just deleting it? We have a config made on which the old format is no longer applicable so we need to exclude the old one on the selection so that users may not be confused of having so many options in the list.
Please suggest procedure on how can I make it.
Thank you so much.

Hi Marnee,
How did you manage to disable code groups? I am looking to do the same thing.

Record Group and From-Clause Datasource

I need to do several complex queries (read-only) for my form. Original I used From-Clause datasource but, as the requirement changed, there are some limitations. I would rather no do anything dynamically if as all possible because there are over 20 such queries which makes the code difficult to maintain. I wanted to be able to reference block items in the query.
I'm thinking about using Record Group query instead. What are the differences in capability between Record Groups and From-Clause Datasource?
Thanks.
Clayton.

Thanks.
That's exactly the problem I have. I don't want to use LOVs so I've been thinking about how to visualize the record group data using data blocks. Perhaps I'll just go with dynamically building the From-Clause.
I've looked into stored procedure based blocks a bit; it was confusing for me. Are the stored procedures stored in the database or are they defined in the form?

Buses and Aux

I'm afraid this reveals my lack of recording understanding but here goes........ working in a 'new' Logic project, there are no 'buses' to start with so I presume you have to create a 'bus' so you send reverb chorus (whatever) to any channel. When you choose 'bus 1' as a 'send' you end up on the mixer with a new 'thing' called 'send 1 (aux 1).' I didn't ask for an aux - but I got one. - Well as you can see I'm totally confused (after recording for 10 years) I have survived this long by using templates. (and thus avoiding the environment)
At the most basic level, what is the difference between a bus, send, return and aux??????

Logic 7 and Logic 8 are very different in this area, and Logic 8 is far easier, IMO.
When you choose 'bus 1' as a 'send' you end up on the mixer with a new 'thing' called 'send 1 (aux 1).' I didn't ask for an aux - but I got one.
That's because Logic 8 wants you to use the new aux object (instead of the old bus object) and helpfully creates one for you when you activate a new bus, either by sending through a bus or routing a channel strip's output to a bus. You can rename the aux so that it shows up in your bus menu by name (reverb, delay, gtr.submix etc instead of Bus 1, Bus 2 etc) The aux object replaces the old bus object as it's more flexible, but the 'old' structure is still available in the environment to preserve compatibility with projects created in earlier Logic versions.
Here are a couple of threads that explain this in greater detail (there are many more -search the forum):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7444038&#7444038
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3688943&#3688943
At the most basic level, what is the difference between a bus, send, return and aux??????
Overly simplified:
bus - think of a bus as a pipe that carries an assigned signal. A bit like the wiring in your house.
send - how much signal you want routed through the bus
return - the result of the processing applied to the bus signal routed through an aux
aux - an object that can be used in many different ways, but in this context a destination for the bus and ability to further route and be used by other objects, such as the mix bus. If the bus is your house wiring, the aux can be the wall socket.
Hope this helps.

The impact and the difference item group and warehouse

Dear All,
I am confusing what is the difference between item group and warehouse in continuous stock system and perpetual system and their impact in accounting flows. I have explored and read manual pdf files but still fail since I have heard one of addon can only apply or use if the gl account by is warehouse.
I appreciate your answer. TIA
Regards,

Hi..
A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns. They come equipped with loading docks to load and unload trucks; or sometimes are loaded directly from railways, airports, or seaports.
Storage bin management          Warehouse movements (product)
Planning and monitoring          Control of WM system and
Inventory control               automated control systems
Stock placement into the warehouse occurs after you or the system has generated a Transfer Order (TO). This Transfer Order will direct you to a location in the warehouse where to get the goods and where to place the them. Once you close out the TO and verify the quantity the system will reflect a new location.
A storage unit type groups loading
equipment with similar properties, for example europallets, wire baskets,
or tanks. Europallets are defined as storage unit type europallet, wire
baskets as storage unit type wire basket, and so on, in Customizing for
each warehouse number.

Web groups and corresponding users

Hi All,
just want to know if there is a way to get the list of webcat groups and corresponding users in a report/excel sheet?
I know we can create reports using catalog manager but they don't have users/ groups fields in it..
Let me know your thoughts!

Hey Turribeach,
I have been following your posts and I know that you don't like giving step by step instructions.
Is there a similar kind of example in any of the blogs? I searched in google and came across venkat Krishna blog and one other blog.
but it was not explained that well. I am a newbie to java and .net as well. So, i am having some trouble implementing this.
Can you please guide me in a brief way? Thanks for your help.

Grouping and Decimal characters in rtf templates.

Hi guys and girls,
I’m really struggling with a problem here regarding the decimal characters for the prices in my output.
I'm using XML Publisher 5.6.3.
My goal is to control the grouping and decimal character from my template.
The numbers in the XML data file can either be 10.000,00 or 10,000.00. The format is handled by the users nls_numeric_characters profile option.
The output of the template shall be based on the locale and not the data generated by Oracle Reports. For example: Reports to US customers shall show the numbers in the following format 10,000.00. Reports to our European customers shall show the numbers in this format 10.000,00.
How can I achieve this in my templates? Can it be achieved at all?
Thank you in advance.
Kenneth Kristoffersen
Edited by: Kenneth_ on May 19, 2009 1:30 AM

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
The problem is that the report is generating the output based on the users profile option nls_numeric_characters.
I have tried to override the users profile option in the before report trigger without any luck. I can alter selects so the query gets the numbers in the right format but then I would have to go through all queryes and reports which seem a bit wrong? Especially for the standard Oracle reports.

Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount 28

Post Author: tadj188#
CA Forum: Formula
Needed: Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount > 28
Background:
1) Report SQL is created with unions to have detail lines continue on a page, until it reaches page footer or report footer, rather than using subreports.    A subreport report is now essentially a group1a, group1b, etc. (containing column headers and other data within the the report    with their respective detail lines). I had multiple subreports and each subreport became one union.
Created and tested, already:
1) I have calculated @TotalLineForEachOfTheSameGroup, now I need to sum of the individual same group totals to get the total line count on a page.
Issue:
1) I need this to create break on a certain line before, it dribbles in to a pre-printed area.
Other Ideas Appreciated:
1) Groups/detail lines break inconveniently(dribble) into the pre-printed area, looking for alternatives for above situation.
Thank you.

Can any body tell me how to fill this BAPI.......
Even i am trying to debug standard tocde of PO but it is not calling bapi BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
Could you please help me on this.

Hello,
To assign material group to G/l account you have to matain valuation class for Material group
SPRO >> Materials Managment >> Purchasing >> Material Master >> Entry aids for items with out material master.
Assign this valaution class to G/l in OBYC.

Would Like to Get Report of Daily Emails In and Out from Members to a DL Exchange version : 2007 I am the supervisor for the group and want to quantify this information. I do not need to see the content, just quantity is it possible ?

Would Like to Get Report of Daily Emails In and Out from Members to a DL
Exchange version : 2007

is it possible ?

Well, distribution groups don't really have a concept of "in" or "out". They only serve to distribute messages sent to them -- unless you're asking to know who was a member of the distribution group at the time a message was sent to the DL.
Message tracking logs hold the information you want, though. You'd have to look for EXPAND events that reference the distribution group and take the sender's e-mail address from that event. If the DL is a simple one that's not a member of any other groups
you could also look for RECEIVE events sent to the e-mail address of the group and get the sender's name from that event.
You can use Powershell extract the rows of data from the logs, but you'll have to write the code to get the data out of those rows and into a format you want. Perhaps LogParser could be useful in place of Powershell?
