How to accomplish Revenue and Cost forecasting in Oracle?

We are implementing Oracle Rel 11.5.10. and have a specific business requirement for Revenue and Cost Forecasting.
We have Projects integrated with OM using custom extensions (We are not using Project Manufacturing). Revenue is based on scheduled shipment dates and Cost is based on PO Promise Dates. Both Revenue and Cost are forecasted for 2 quarters and are rolled up on revenue category level. When Scheduled shipment date changes it is required to automatically forecast the revenue in the period scheduled ship date falls into. We understand that out of the box functionality does not support roll up of forecast at revenue category level which leads to displaying budgets, commitments and atuals in different lines. Has any one done this in any of there client engagements? Can anyone explain how Revenue and Cost forecasting is done in a High tech Network Equipment manufacturer which usies Projects.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi
My understanding is that your entire solution is based on custom proceses.
You might have a program that reads the scheduled shipment date from OM and generate budget lines for revenue.
You might have a program that reads the PO Promise date from Purchasing, and generate budget lines for costs.
You could integrate those sources and generate a new version of forecast every time you need to update your plans in Oracle Projects.

Internal Order settlement to one value field in CO-PA (revenue and cost CE)

hi there,
we want to settle an internal order to one CO-PA Value field.
The problem is, that when on the internal orders are postings with CE type revenue and costs, in settlement it reduces the internal oder by the correct amount, but in CO-PA all values come with positive sign)...That would be fine if we would use several value fields, but we want to use only one value field for this settlement..
IO: Revenue: 10 Cost 5 ---> 5 --> thats the amount we want to transfer to CO-PA through settlement
in COPA: 15 (10 + 5)..
I treid to exclude the revenue CE from settlement, but this doesn't work (settlement rule incomplete)
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Markus

Hi,
The sign of a value field in CO-PA for the settlement of orders, projects is always determined depending on the cost element type of the cost element/account.
The logic is as follows for record type C:
                           sign in CO-PA for postings
cost element type            debit          credit
    11                                   -               +
    others                             +               -
The logic of settlement into CO-PA works like this:
1.) The first step is that all values are transferred from the sender as they were posted in the database on this side
    On the sender side all debits have '+' sign and all credits have    a '-' sign no matter what cost element type is used.
    Usually costs are posted as debit with cost element type '1'    and revenues as credits with cost element type '11'.
2.) The second step reverses the sign of all cost elements with type    '11' (and exclusively those).
    The intention is to have only positive values in CO-PA to be used in reporting. (There you can set up rules what needs to be added or subtracted).
Note 369378 explains the logic and provides a workaround.

How to Export Snapshots and Materlized View in Oracle 9i

Hi,
How to Export Snapshots and Materlized View in Oracle 9i .
I require to Migrate from 9i to 10g with either Export or Script.
Please help

Using exp-imp for snapshots generally causes problems, at least for me. I would prefer taking their creation scripts and running them on the new database.
By the way, what do you mean by "migrate from 9i to 10g"? Are you trying to create the same snapshots in another (10g) database or are you trying to upgrade your 9i database to 10g? If it is the latter then you can just upgrade the database automatically with the upgrade assistant or manually using upgrade scripts.

How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

Current problem: A company code has been 'merged' into another one and the old company code can no longer be used. In the last payroll run, there was a rate change that caused a retro back to the time of the old company code and since the old company code and cost center were closed, the FI posting error'ed out. To correct, we had to delete the offending pernr from the cluster and back out the rate change until we came up with a solution.
Investigation has revealed a process called 'Substitute Cost Centers', but we tested it and a 'flusher' cost center is required to be set up in the old company code and FI refuses to open it up.
Also, I've located 3 user exits for RPCIPE00, but I do not see where company and cost center can be changed. So I've tried to code my own BAdi, but there seems to be a header company code that I'm not getting. The item company code and cost center seem to be doable, but I don't know how to change the header company code.
I am new to HR and Payroll having spent the last couple of years in BI and before that I worked with the material master and Purchasing. It is my humble opinion that the company should not have been 'turned off' until Payroll was finished with it and that means 2 years until we archive. In reading about symbolic accounts, several times it is written not ever to delete them. Seems to me company code is the same. But surely I must be wrong and there is a solution that will make everybody happy.
I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thank you so much.

Amosha, thank you for your response. Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 0001, not 0057
Company code 0057 is now closed and has been merged into 0001. Cost center 14515 in the above doc was populated by my clone of RPCIPE00 and call to my BAdI which retrieved current company and cost center from PA0001. You can see from above that the 'header' data still shows 0057 and indeed, my version of RPCIPE00 only changes P_ITEM-BUKRS, P_ITEM-KOSTL and P_ITEM-SGTXT. It looks to me that fm HRPP_TRANSLATE_FICO gets the 'header' company code afresh. I was planning to leave WPBP-BUKRS (and all other Payroll data) alone (ie, not override company code).
As for your other question, we post retros to /551 and /552.

How to accomplish Torque and velocity control of an axis using NI motion controller

Used torque transducer as a primary feedback. I am able to control the torque. Used Encoder feedback as secondary feedback to control velocity. But when I run the axis at 5 rpm, I observe velocity variations of more than 200 %. What is the nessasary change Should I make to control both Torque, velocity accurately?

Hello,
Here are a couple of suggestions that might help:
- Tune the PID parameters so that step response will be overdamped
- Increase the PID loop update period
- Reduce the noise on the analog signal coming in. 7350 series controllers are going to be better for this because they have a 16-bit ADC resolution versus 12-bit on the 7340 series.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions regarding this.

How to get field and variable value in oracle

Hi all,
I'm finding very difficulty to get a field value.. In oracle 11i form there is a field name called total accured and it has value 519.. but i'm not able get this .i search in all tables so iwent to help--> tools-->examine--(diagnostic)-->
i get Block :'XYZ' field: "Balance" and value:'519' and search in table shown in help.
Please can anyone help me to get this field and it's value. it is in HRMS.
Thank You

It may be a derived / calculated field, which is why you might not be finding it in a table.
For information on the last query run (may give a clue) do help -> examine, then change block to "SYSTEM" and Field to "LAST_QUERY".
Also, Help -> Record History will show you the table or view that the data comes from. May also lead to a clue.And this is what is mentioned in the doc referenced above.
Thanks,

Pls advice? What we can use on this statistical internal order on real internal order ????
Pls advice in details ... Thank you in advance

HI,
If at all you want to use Internal order for this purpose, you have to create a real internal order only for settlement purpose. Statistical IO can not be settled.

How to select revenue for Individual accounts/cost centers

Hi All,
Can any one help me in creating a report where we have to include the revenue and cost as row details. and revenue will be related to individual cost centers. I got confused because the revenue will be in accounts (revenue) POV and cost centers will be another POV.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
Edited by: user8021111 on Nov 10, 2009 10:28 AM

Hi ,
As per my understanding of this requirement try this thing if you have not already tried it.
Take Revenue and cost centers in Rows section of dimension layout through grid properties ,and do the specific member selection for these dimension in rows as per the requirement.

Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

Hello all. I have this scenario with a company that was merged into another and retroactive payroll occurs for absences and extra time in the "old" company, but the "old" merged company is closed so no postings can occur.
I also found this unanswered post: How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll
We suppose that retroactive differences could be accounted in the new company code but I didnu2019t found any way to do it even in the BADI SMOD_PCPO0001 I couldnu2019t find a way to change the company code/cost center....

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
thanks

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom
Also check this thread in Asktom
