How material will determine

Hi experts
I wanted to Know how a Particular material will be get planned so that it has to generate specifcally planned order only.it should not generate purchase requistion.

Hi,
For all the Materials when ever there is a Planning relevnt change happens, Planning File Entry will be updated.
During MRP Run, system will look into the Planning File and if the entry there it will plan the Materials.
Now during MRP Run, NetRequirements calculation is the First step. system will calculate the stortage quanities here.
Say there is a shortage for a Material, then procuremnt elements will be generated.
Now, If the Material is inhouse producced Material (Proc. Type: E) then, system will always creats Planned Orders.
If the MAterial is External Procured (Proc. Type : F) then depending on the MRP Control Parameters either Purchase Requisition or Planned Order will be generated.
Hope this clarifies..

How do I determine what my early termination fee will be?

My phone broke last week. The ear piece is distorted but it still works using a headset. I went into the store to see about fixing it. The don't work on LG Chocolates and I was told the replacement is an LG Extravert. I inquired about getting a new phone and using the value of the Extravert towards the new phone but was told they don't do that. I have been paying insurance on my phone for a couple years now and thought that meant I'd get a phone that was as good as my Chocolate. (removed) Since they would not work anything out with me(a 15 year customer with a family of 4 plan), I had them send me the Extravert. The store clerk said it was going to be there the next day. Apparently next day means over-the-weekend. So I was out of town the beginning of the week and didn't get to open the box until yesterday. The Extravert came incomplete with no battery nor back. It is also clown-red. The specs show it is clearly not an equal replacement for my Chocolate. Whatever... Anyway I got to argue with 2 Verizon reps on the phone about how it was not an equivalent phone for about an hour at one point being told that i had the option of selling the Extravert back to them for, much to my chagrin, $1. I pay $6 a month to insure my phone and they will send me a phone they value at $1!. I asked how much they would sell me the Extravert for and the rep said around $175! So you can probably see why I am not a happy customer. 15 years of loyalty and they can't do a thing to help me and don't seem to care. I realize it is not the person I talk to on the phones company and I am just one person so I am small potatoes. Again, whatever... So after the frustration of the last week, I have decided I need to end my relationship here and move on. So after venting, how does Verizon determine the early termination fee? Thanks in advance for your responses and a big no-thanks to Dorothy (removed) who was one of the exasperating folks I got to argue with for an hour yesterday...

You can't cancel service online. However, if you are moving to another carrier, start service with them and port your number - that will initiate the cancellation from Verizon. You also have to have an active line of service to port your number; if you cancel before starting service with someone else, your number is lost.
Backdating an increased data allowance is preferable and allowed - prorating is why you can't backdate a reduction. It will most likely result in overages in a majority of situations, defeating the purpose of the reduction, so it is simply not possible to do. The reduced allowance will take effect the next billing cycle.

How can i determine what the most recent os my imac will run?

How can i determine what the most recent os my iMac will run?
Serial Number QP6*****VUW
Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Currently running Version 10.5.8
<Edited by Host>

You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.

How do I determine why yosemite will no longer shut down?

This is a new problem, not occurring after installing Yosemite. Now my iMac will not shutdown it just has that spinning icon that will go on forever unless I hold down the power button. How do I determine what is causing it?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

How to maintain production version for material and how it will work

Dear Friends,
                      i have created alternative bom for a material , My FG is having two RM1 and RM2. like below,
                FG --->RM1
                FG---->RM2
i created alternative BOM. how it will fetch raw materils from BOM while doing production confimation. what is meant by production version and how to configure that. how it will work
regards
RK

Dear Raja karthik,
1.Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in Discrete scenario & in REM scenario its a
combination of BOM & Rate routing/Routing.The same can also be created only containing the BOM incase if it is going to be
used for a sub-contracting purchase info record.
2.Production version is a method or technique which's is used to produce a material.
3.A Material may be having one or more than one production version.
4.Production version can be differentiated by using either the validity date or Lot size range.
5.Say For Eg: Prod.Version1 --> Alt BOM1 & Routing1
Prod.Version2---> Alt BOM2 & Routing 1.
6.It has the status Locked and unlock.We can lock it when it is to blocked for any usage purpose.
6.Generally its created using T code MM02,by selecting MRP4 view and clicking on Production version key.
7.It's a master data in REM scenario.
8.Production versions can also be created using T code C223 for more than one material.
9.Planned independent requirements can be created production version specific in MD61.

How does vendor determine if no info record is maintained for the material

how does vendor determine if no info record is maintained for the material

Hi
If you have to determine a vendor, the minimum requirement is Info record. Beyond that, you can ofcourse maintain Source Lists, Quota Arrangements but Info record is bare minimum for automatic determination of vendor.
Otherwise, you have to maintain the vendor manually in th Purchasing docs.
Tcodes for Info record are ME11, ME12, and ME13.
Hope this clarifies.

How Cost component Determines The Correct Cost Elements?

Hi,
In the cost component views i have cost element XXX is mapped to cost component Local raw materials and cost element YYY to imported raw materials and my local raw materials are linked to BSX inventory accounts of ZZZ. In this regard i have the following questions :-
1) When i create cost estimates (t.code CK11N) for a local raw material the system is showing this costs correctly under local raw material cost component, how the system know that this is local raw material and not an imported raw material? Because no where in the config settings i have mapped cost element XXX to local raw materials because XXX is a consumption cost element. The only config i have maintained for this raw material is linking it to the ZZZ account which is the balance sheet stock account. So how the system will determine this particular material is linked to cost element XXX and not YYY?

Hi,
Please check assignment cost component structure your assign the purticular cost element your assigned that cost element is showing the costing sheet in ck11n report for ram material import or local.

Hi,
1. Condition Table
SPRO > Material Management> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Condition Tables->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
Select:
Purchasing Doc. Type,
Purch. Organization,
Vendor
2. Access Sequences
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Access Sequences->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
3. Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Types->Define Message Type for Purchase Order
*4. Message Determination Schemas*
4.1. Message Determination Schemas
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Maintain Message Determination Schema
4.2. Assign Schema to Purchase Order
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Assign Schema to Purchase Order
5. Partner Roles per Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control-> Partner Roles per Message Type ->Define Partner Role for Purchase Order
6. Condition Record
Navigation Path: SAP Menu-> Logistics -> Material Management -> Purchasing-> Master data->Messages-> Purchase Order-> MN04-> Create
Now you create PO (ME21N) and save it. Go to ME22N and print the PO by giving output type.
Output of GR
After setting table, access sequence and output type for GR,run MB02 transaction, enter material document number. Double click one line item and select messages. Separate screen will be opened to configure outputs. Give the required fields and save the document.
Now Run MB90, you can take printout. Output Type: WE03 or WE01 or WE02

How the account determination takes place for cost center

Hai
Can any one explain me in detail (as i am new to this topic) how the account determination takes place when i raise a P.O for cost centre and do G.R for the same? If possible pl send me links also related the above.
Thanks

Hi,
Once u have given account assignment category 'K', then system will pick automatically G/L account from the OBYC settings for the combination of Valuation modification code, account modifier (VBR) & Valuation class.
From the OME9 transcation, system will pick transcation key for the respective account assignment category.
For the account assignment category 'K', account modifier is 'VBR'.
Here masterial master record (MMR) is optional. If you are giving MMR in the PO, system will pick valuation class from the MMR.
If MMR is not giving, then system will pick valuation class from the transcation OMQW. Here you need to maintain valuation class aganist material group, which is u r giving in the PO. ( This is optional)
In the OBYC transcation, for the transcation key GBB you need to maintain G/L account for the combination Valuation modification code, account modifier (VBR) & Valuation class.
Also maintain one more entry in the transcation key GBB, maintain G/L account for the combination Valuation modification code, account modifier (VBR) & Valuation class field is blank.
Once you have given account assignment category 'K' in the PO, system will pick G/L for the combination Valuation modification code, account modifier (VBR) & Valuation class. This is happening before giving the cost centre.
If you are not maintaining MMR in the PO and not maintaining valuation class aganist material group in the transcation OMQW, the system will pick G/L account for the combination of Valuation modification code, account modifier (VBR) & Valuation class field is blank.
So in your case, check valuation class aganist material group in the transcation OMQW and maintain G/L in the OBYC for the respective combination. If valuation class is not maintained aganist material group in the transcation OMQW and maintain one more entry in the OBYC with the blank valuation calss field.

How the system determines the Requirement type for one sales order

Hi,
SAP-SD Gurus,
Please tell me how the system determines the Requirement type for one sales order?
Thanks & Regards,
Sreenivas.P

Hi,
System follows some search criterial to determine the requirement type
1. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.
2. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
3. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
4. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.
5. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
6. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.
Please check the path
SPRO->SALES & DISTRIBUTIONS->BASIC FUNCTIONS>AVAILABILITY CHECK AND TOR->TRANSFER OF REQUIREMENTS--->DETERMINATION OF REQUIREMENT TYPE USING TRANSACTION.
Hope it will clarify

HT1454 I have a speaker with I phone 30 pin dock, it use to work fine but i am not getting error saying accessory not supported,how i can determine what could be the problem

I have a speaker with I phone 30 pin dock, it use to work fine but i am not getting error saying accessory not supported,how i can determine what could be the problem
i am getting the same error with my rf transmitter that i use in my car

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Did this start happening after an iOS update? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Return del to vendor- How delivery type determination

Hi All,
When i am creating return delivery to vendor in MBRL transaction code with reference to Material document, the system is creating delivery with RLL document type, want to understand how the system is determining RLL document type for 122 movement type vendor return delivery.
Do we have any assignment for delivery doc.type determination like how we have PO returns delivery.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Lakshmikanth

Got the solution from SAP note 359247, we need to do the configuration as suggested in this Note.
The steps are:
1. You must add an entry to the domain fixed value for the domain DLVTP: Fixed value RL. Short text: Return delivery to vendor - this is already available in ECC 6
2. Use transaction SM31 to maintain the view V_156Q_VC. Go to movement type 122 and change the delivery category from OD to
RL for all entries with movement type 122.
3. Use transaction SM31 to maintain the view V_156Q_VC. Go to movement type 161 and change the delivery category from OD to
RL for all entries with movement type 161.
If we complete setp2, the system will determine RLL delivery type which is correct.

Lakshmikanth

How long will laptop be in the shop?

Hello,
I have a mid-2010 15 inch macbook pro. For a long time now I have been having this issue with the laptop, whereby it will freeze if the video card or graphics card or whatever is taxed too hard. The display goes black immediately after some action (attempting to crop a large image in photoshop, scrolling quickly through images, doing something on an external monitor) and this action is usually something that would make the computer work harder than what a normal person would be doing on a day-to-day basis. If sound is playing while the computer freezes, then the last half-second or so of the sound track repeats ad infinitum, and there is nothing that can be done to bring the computer out of this state except for a hard restart of the system. Over the past year I have tried many things...closing the lid and opening it, waiting for a long time, pressing any number of button combinations from online suggestion forums, resetting the ram or whatever else you reset on the system, trust me...there is no way to make this issue stop happening.
The problem started perhaps one year ago, but was very seldom and did not occur with any alarming frequency. I would estimate that the computer froze maybe once or twice in a month - it was seldom enough that it took me a few months to begin noticing any correlation in what was causing the issue. Over the past year, the problem has grown, very slowly, and as more time passes the number of actions that cause the problem multiply. Six months ago I would maybe see it happen once a week. Three months ago perhaps twice a week. Now, it happens every day and I can reliably force the issue to occur if I just open a large image in photoshop and attempt to quickly do many things to it in a row until the computer blacks out.
I have not sent the laptop in to be fixed because I NEED this laptop. I am a self-employed residential designer and my work hinges on having access to Photoshop, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and many other graphics programs. However, the issue has now grown so that I am unable to work on this laptop...the amount of time I spend resetting the machine every time I overtax the graphics just makes it impossible to get anything done, so I now must send the machine in to be fixed.
I just would like some reliable estimates from people here who may have some idea of how long I will be without my machine. I do not trust the people in the store because they obviously have a bias and ulterior motives to get my business, they will most likely not give me an accurate answer. Every day without my laptop is a day without income. I apologize if this post is longer than necessary, my thought was that in order to give me an accurate time frame for repair, you would need a thorough description of the problem. Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Well, there's no defined turn around time with MacBook Pro repairs however, must will agree in this forum that repairs can take about 1-5 business days to be completed. All depends on how serious is your issue and what component needs to be replaced.
As for your black screen issue it seems that you are suffering from the well-known Black Screen bug issue in the mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. This issue has no other solution than to swap the Logic Board according to this Apple article.To determine whether your computer is suffering from the issue you need to go to the Apple Store and set up Genius Bar Appointment. Ask the Genius to run the "Mid 2010 MacBook Pro GPU Stress Test" it shoudlappear on the list of available tests when they connect your computer to the diagnostic servers. The test will determine whether you qualify for a free repair. If you do, they will either take the computer right away or set up another repair appointment that best suits your needs. If you are not covered by AppleCare prepare to fight off the obstructions that Apple will put to get you to pay the $600+ logic board repair, its just how they work.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
Please do not hesitate to ask further questions...

Hi,
Have you debug these two applications? Does it go into the catch exception block when you close the client or the server?
According to my test, it will throw an exception when the client or the server is closed, just log the exception message in the catch block and then you'll get it:
private async void Process()
try
while (true)
var data = await this.Receive();
this.NewMessage.Invoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));
catch (Exception exception)
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
By the way, I don't know what the SafeInvoke method is, it may be an extension method, right? I used Invoke instead to test it.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.
