How to process a sale for a Software License Key

Dear SAP Experts,
My company has developed software product which contains license keys. After the sale, the customer later has the option to purchase additional license keys for said product.
My question is how to invoice for the additional license keys? The product will have already shipped so would this sale best be recorded using a DIEN material number? I have thought about using Serial Number functionality, but the problem is that my company will not know the license key the customer wishes to purchase until the customer turns the part on. Once the part number is turned on, then my company will know the license key the customer wishes to purchase.
Do you have suggestions for how the license keys can be invoiced after the sale of the initial product?
Thank you,
Lisa

Hello Lisa
I am not sure if you are using SAP Industry Solution (IS) for High Tech Software. The way you posed the question, I am guessing you are not. It is a curious mix of SD, Classification, Variant Config and Instalbase functionalities.
You are on right track, in the module I mentioned above, each license is treated like a Serial Number. To quote SAP help ' In mySAP High Tech Software, a software license is represented by a serial number. It can be created as a line item in a standard sales document. '
And for the additional licenses, I guess you need to add more lines in the existing sales order with the new quantity or create a fresh order. Or use License Bump Processing, see below for documentation link.
I strongly recommend Using IS- High Tech Software ( I don't work for SAP by the way) by negotiating a license 'Bump' deal ( same subject) with SAP and/or borrow the concepts from that module's documentation.

How to process TR created for 122 mov ?

Dear All,
How to process the TR created in the background for 122 mov. through QA module ?
I have not processed the TR created for the GR document. When I try to process it, the open qty in the TR is the difference between (Total GR Qty - Return Qty).
Hence the TR created for 122 mov is Open.
Please guide me how we process such TR's.
Hope my query is clear.
Regards,

Hi Prakash & Vineet,
Thanks a lot for your reply's.
See my scenario goes like this & hope this is a common one in case of vendor rejections.
when we create a GR an Inspection lot & TR will be created for the whole GR Qty say (100) with Stock type as Q (Quality).
Suppose If I do the UD for the Inspection lot where I accept 70 Qtys & Reject 30 Qtys then automatically a TR will be created for the 30 Qtys.
Since I have already rejected 30 qtys, only 70 qtys will be open in the TR which was created at the time of GR (which is yet to be processed).
So this TR can be converted into a TO & Stock can be placed in the Destination Storage type & Bin.
Now coming to the rejected qty which is getting knocked off in the interim bin itself the stock level in MM-IM & WM is balanced.
But my concern is TR which was created against the Rejected Material Doc (122) is Still Open. So what do we do with such TR's which are open?
In LB02 we can either delete this TR or change the Status to Processed.
I hope many of you might have come across this scenario. So how did you manage this? Is there any T.CODE available where we can delete or change the status of TR's as processed in a mass way ?
Hope my query is clear now.
Thanks & Regards,

How to calculate the compliance for an software update deployment

Hi All,
I am trying to find as how do we calculate the compliance for an software update deployment.
Scenario, We have about 4000 machine in the domain. but we have some stale records in the domain which is about 1200. The AD cleanup for the stale records is planned for sometime in March.
So total number of machines in a collection (including the stale machines) are 5200.
The current compliance of that deployment shows the following status:
Complaint : 1156
In Progress : 1724
Error : 38
Unknown : 2462
And in the unknown, we have :
Client check failed/Active: 2
Client check failed/Inactive: 6
Client check passed/Active: 732
Client check passed/Inactive: 1722
Can you please suggest in understanding the formula that should be followed to get the compliance.

Your Compliancy, should be based solely off of the number of computers within CM12.
There are no “if”, “and” or “but” able it. This is the only way to truly and reliably provide numbers to management.
Again it should be very simple calculation:
(Total outstanding Security SU, Total outstanding
Critical SU, Total outstand Service packs, Total outstand Update Rollups, Total outstand Updates, Total outstand Definition Updates, Total outstand tools, Total outstand Feature packs) Vs Total applied SU (all Classifications)
Or
Total # of 100% patched PCs vs Total # of PCs as seen by CM12.
If you use any other calculation then you MUST include a disclaimer that you are filtering out computers because they might be invalid. Or you MUST define exactly how you are calculating the number. Therefore any compliancy rate that your calculate maybe
invalid too or at least it will change once you clean up AD.
I will never hide low compliancy numbers to management, I will always show it to them.
In many case I will ask to give a presentation to Management to explain why the numbers are so low.
Provide them with a list of action items that need to be done in order to bring up the number to more reasonable level. I also set their expectation on what a reasonable level is.
100% is unachievable; there is no exception to this!
95-99% Very excellent but expect to spend lots of $$$s to obtain these percentages.
90-95% is really, really, good; expect to spend $$s in this range.
85-89% is good; expect to set strict procedures
81-84 is ok but you could do better
Below 80% is bad
In your case, I would start by saying AD is dirty and need to be clean up, this has been schedule for March 2015. I would follow up this to say, in order to keep AD clean the follow procedures need to be define / updated / followed. You should also define
exactly what you are doing to ensure that all computers are management by CM12.
IMO these is no simple answer of this.

Why does Acrobat XI installed via CC ask me for Adobe Software License Agreement?

When I try to open a pdf with Acrobat XI Pro installed via Creative Cloud, after few second it starts Adobe Application Manager, it opens a completely blank window titled Adobe Software License Agreement asking to Accept. It's pointless to clic the Accept button: it doesn't do anything and Acrobat is unusable.

Hello Michele,
Please refer to following article:

Created a working Windows To Go flashdrive but it won't accept my paid-for Windows 8 license key

I created a Windows To Go flash drive using 64-bit Windows 8.1. It boots and works perfectly except that I cannot activate it with the license key I got when I paid for Windows 8 last summer (I bought the digital download, ordered the
optional disc, and carefully recorded the license key Microsoft e-mailed me).
I noticed that the "build" of the Windows To Go flash drive states "Windows 8 PRO," not Windows 8 or 8.1. Did I screw up and not install the right version of Windows to the drive? Is Windows To Go only for the PRO version of Windows 8
and not the regular version? I only worked on this as an experiment to see if I could boot Windows 8 on our work PC's (which are sadly still running XP), and I am so close! Where did I go wrong?

Windows 8 PRO is Enterprise Edition? Official Windows to go only with Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise Edition. However, if you have no Enterprise Edition, you can try Aomei Partition Assistant and its new function "windows to go creator"

How to stop update notifications for specific software updates

NOTE: I apologize in advance for the extreme length of my post & hope that someone will be willing to read it all & then be willing to help... Thanks!
I have been continually getting a Software Update notification for "Migration Assistant Update for Lion" (described "This update provides compatibility for migrating to a Mac running OS X Mavericks.") for quite a while now. IMHO, I consider my Mac knowledge/tech experience level (on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is a Mac Guru) to be about maybe 6 or 7 on average (&von a good day maybe an 8). That's assuming, of course, something like this can be quantified in that way. LOL! ;-) Anywho, I digress... Back to my question... As a general rule I don't immediately jump & install every single new update that comes out for all of my technology/electronics, no matter if Apple or Google tells me to do so. Obviously, I take all notices regarding security seriously & immediately research (unless it's forced upon me) it thoroughly before installing. This is ESPECIALLY true for apps in Apple's app store or Google Play Store, & I read a lot of the user reviews, as well as trusted tech gurus on the Web. Because NOT EVERY update is truly an improvement (mostly b/c of the failure to FULLY test them before releasing, more like unleashing, them to the public...Microsoft has mastered this FUBAR technique to absolute 'perfection', or something like that...haha!) OY, I'm so sorry for continually getting off topic. Okay, seriously now, here's what I want to know: Is there any way to tell Apple I don't want to install one of their recommended updates & also to stop bugging me about it? I'm specifically referring to the one I mentioned above. Everything I found online about Mavericks made me want to stay VERY FAR AWAY from it. I could be wrong or found bad info, but I don't think so. Please let me know if I'm wrong, because I really want to make the best/most informed decision possible. Thanks!
That being said, today I received notifications about Apple's latest security update (2014-001), plus one for Safari. I plan to install the security update for sure & most likely the one for Safari (even though I stopped using it months ago & started using either Chrome, Opera or Firefox - I still haven't picked a fave, but use Chrome 90% of the time... I'm open to suggestions about these apps too...)... But, I don't want to mess with the "Migration Assistant" one.
I would really love some help from my fellow Mac users... I apologize for being long winded & will try to reign in that nagging writing flaw in future posts. Also, I apologize if I've missed something that's totally obvious & easily found on this or other forums/sites, but I really did try to find an answer before posting my question here...
Thanks Mucho to all of you who were able to read through my mini-novel (& not fall asleep in the process) & actually found my question at the end!! I would like to say "THANK YOU!!" in advance for any & all help y'all are willing to provide!!! :-D
Hope you have a FANTABULOUS day! (^_-) Sincerely, Care ;-)

Wow, now that I see how extremely long my post is on screen, I'm a wee bit embarrassed... I'm hoping someone will be willing to overlook this annoying factor & provide a suggestion... :-/ Signed w/shame, Care :-/

How to process a sales project in SD module?

Dear all,
I have a sales business scenario, but I don't know how to implement in SAP. The business scenario is as follows:
- Company A will sell a batch goods to its customer B. But, this is a large sales project. So, A should create a series of sales orders to process the corresponding part of this sale project. As you know, in a sales order the material is a item and it can be organized by a order. Now, company A wants to consider the each of these sales orders as a single item. So, the large sales project can be considered as a 'Order'. In this case, the company could define some information such as pricing conditions for each order in highest level of this sales project.
Is anyone know how to implement that in SAP?
Looking forward to receiving your replies. Thank you very much!
Justin,

Hello Pathik,
Thanks for your helpful reply! I think that the first way may solve my problem. I am not clear about the contract, so I'm not sure whether the first way could be answer.
As we know, the sales document could organize some materials, and specify pricing conditions, schedule lines, delivery or billing info for each item. By the way, is there a document in SAP which can organize sales orders? In this document, the item object is a sales order. And, document could define pricing conditions, release date info or billing info for each item order. In this case, it seems that item order is considered as a material in this document. Use could control higher level info for every orders. Finally, a large sales project can be splited as a series of orders, but these orders could be organized by a business document...
I don't know whether the current SAP system has this function. If it doesn't, may be I will try another way to figure out my problem. _
Does the contract document have the function as which I describe above?
Thanks,
Justin

How to get YTD sale for Last year In OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a fact table for Sale_Amt with doc_date wise details. It is connected to Simple time_dimension table based on Date_ID(Number) field. The time_DIm Hierarchy is set on Year, Quarter, Month fields of the time_dimension table.
One of my reporting requirement is to show show YTD sales and Last Years YTD sales.
e.g, If user select 23 Jul 2013 as the date parameter, I need to show 1-Apr-2013 till 23 Jul 2013 Sales in YTD column and 1-Apr-2012 till 23 Jul 2012 Sales in Year_Ago_YTD column. I am able to get YTD sales but unable to derive at Year_Ago_YTD sales figures.
Finacial Year Start from 1st April till 31 March.
Any Help on this will be appriciated.
Thanks.
Narendra Shetty.

Narendra,
You can make use of the below two functions to get the year ago dates. You can replace current_date with a presentation variable that stores the date parameter that user selected.
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_YEAR,-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, 3,TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , EXTRACT( DAY_OF_YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE) * -(1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE))) - It will display previous year's first day of fiscal year (since I passed current_date, it gives you 1st april 2012)
and
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_YEAR,-1,current_date) - Same Day Last year
Pls mark correct/helpful.

Please anybody tell me.

Hi Prateek,
First I would recommend reading the Rules of Engagement (Getting Started link at the top right), then going to the Overview page of the SAP Transportation Management community. There is a wealth of documents and guides there available for the reading.
When you have digested enough to understand the basics of TM, come back and post specific questions in a new Discussion. This thread has been locked.

How do you change out hard drives without losing all your software license keys

I have lots of cash tied up in software.

To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/r ef=pd_cp_pc_0
