How to track our stock at customer site

We have some stock - spare parts - kept at customer sites. We still have ownership, until it is used for a repair.
How should we keep track of this stock?
a) special stock (type W) - standard consignement process.
b) create a new storage location for each customer where this occurs
c) allow the end-users to create new storage locations as needed.
For bonus marks, which solution did the users write in the bug report, and did they:
a) suggest
b) demand
c) insist

Hi,
As i understand your scenario, i think best suitable is consignment because how many storage locatio can create and its become hactic everytime to maintain location. If the consignment, then you have track of stocks and alos when u dump the material in consignment agent your inventory value didnt get effected in books unless you issue for repairs.
Hope this help.

Process question - manage stock at customer site

Dear all,
I have a business requirement and I am having difficulties mapping it to SAP, as I had never seen this process.
My customer is a TELCO customer and sells or consigns materials to their agents (the materials have a serial number attached to it). They have a business need to always know how much stock is on their agents, so that they can plan their purchase orders accordingly whether if it's consigned or sold.
If it is a consignation process, there is no problem as we always have visibility of the stock on the customer site. But how to know what is the stock on customer site if we made a normal sales to them?
I have read a little bit about Vendor Managed Inventory but I don't know if it would be applicable as I have never customized it.
Regards,
Joã

After the delivery I invoice them immediatly
In SAP, once you billed the end customer, the invoiced quantity cannot be traced as the liability ceases from manufacturer. When inventory is not there, why do you want to keep track of this. If you want still have to track the stocks, you have to create a zee table having the minimum required fields from VBRP and the customer code to whom the agent is selling along with afield called status.
As and when invoice is generated on the agent, the data should be stored in this table with the status as "stock with agent" and once the agent distributes the stocks from thieir warehouse, status should be changed to "sold" and based on this status, you have to have a zee report.
thanks

How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099)

Hi,
Oracle financials doesn't allow two supplier sites setup as tax reportable sites (Unless one is inactive). Suppose if the supplier uses site1 for the year 2009 and site 2 for 2010 and now there is site3 setup as tax reportable. All three sites were setup in 2009 and all three sites are active. Supplier chosen different sites for each year as their tax reportable site.
How do we know which site oracle used to send 1099 for 2009 & 2010? How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099) in previous years?
Thanks in advance.

Would the begin_date, end_date and status columns on HZ_PARTY_SITES_USES be any good? Our R12 installations is too new to have accumulated much data yet, but I would look in those columns first.

How to track meta information throughout a site

I was wondering if there is an easy way to track meta information (keywords, descrption) and possibly page titles throughout a site and have it exported to something like an excel spreadsheet. I'm trying to track meta and title information over time and see how changes affect google rankings. It would be nice if I could extract the data quickly instead of going page by page. Odd request, I know...
Thanks in advance for any help.

A good idea is to use something like Log4J to handle logging in your application. You do have to be careful if your application is clustered and there is serialization involved since your logger won't be serializable, causing clustering to fail (I swear it didn't happen to me)....
private transient Logger log = null;
protected final Logger getLogger() {
    if (this.log == null)
        this.log = LogFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
    return this.log;
}

How to track changes in a custom table and based on that run an interface

I have an interface. The pre-condition for running the interface is "Run the interface only if there is new entry added to the table( a custom table). Now I have created a change document object using tcode SCDO for the custom table. Now how do i proceed further. Please tell me the steps which i need to follow to check if the custom table has been changed and also the entries changed before running the interface.

Hello,
SAP has provided many changes tracking related programs for Sales order, Vendor changes etc.
They all use the standard function Module

so with these you can get the changed records

How to track any change at sharepoint site level

Hi,
I want to achieve is,
create an event receiver or workflow for a SharePoint Site so that any change made @ site level or site collection level which in turn may include any change at any list,library, everything @ site/site collection level----a mail should get fired to a certain
sharepoint group(Administrative).
I found that we can do this with "Change Log" but how?
Is it a list or library or what else?
How could i fire a mail when a new item gets added to it?

As an aside, you're asking for SharePoint to send an email to your administrators every time for every change. Given the number of changes in a typical SharePoint farm, this approach can lead to your administrators being flooded with emails. Some mail transfer
agents also have protections against this sort of activity and could drop mails to prevent your administrators from being spammed.
You should consider this if you plan to use these mails for auditing purposes. Another approach would be to log these changes to a database to ensure you don't lose anything.
SharePoint already has built-in auditing capabilities that you could leverage as well; most 3rd party SharePoint administrative suites include audit reporting.

How to track multiple documents across different sites

What I am trying to do seems relatively simple yet I can't seem to find a way to do it.
I have found methods to track documents relative to me and recently modified documents within a specific site.
Basically I want to take document A from the Developer site, document B from the HR site and Document C from the Architecture site and display them in a webpart on a different site that will let me see when they have been modified and by who. It seems that
you can display whole libraries in a webpart from another sites but not select documents from multiple libraries.
I have tried making copies to display in a webpart but it doesn't show you when the original has been modified. I need the originals to remain yet display there status in a webpart on a different site.
Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display libraries in different sites.
You can save the library web part to file, then upload the file to a different site.
When you modify the library files, in the different site the web part would also update.

How to access our company's sharepoint site with short name?

Currently, mycompany.sharepoint.com is accessible.
We would like to set up with a simple name like sp1, point, etc...
what needs to do on DNS server or Share point to make this happen?
Any input appreciated.
JP

Hi,
In DNS create a short name from which you want access sharepoint.
Assign it the same IP address as of SharePoint Machine.
Than in SharePoint central Administration Change the Alternate access mapping for your web application.
for details see the below links.

Handling Consignment Stock at Customer Location

Hi Experts,
Please advise how to handle consignment stock at customer location in SAP B1 2005B, the situation is in this way;
The customer pays for the goods but the delivery is a consignment shipment.
Regards,
Shakeel

Hi Shakeel,
We handle this in the following way:
(only works well if you do not have too many customers wanting CS)
To summarise
1) Created new BP Account spcificly for CStock for Partner wanting consignment stock.
2) Order for Consignment stock entered on new account, delivered and invoiced (invoice never sent to Customer) but you have a delivery note.
3) Balance on Cstock BP account credited back to 0 but the stock is credited back to a new stock warehouse (e.g. CS001). customer now has stock and you have a record of what has been sent in location CS001
4) Cutomer notifies usage of stock.
5) Manual invoce raised on Actual BP account for consumed stock against warehouse CS001 (warehouse entered on invoice line) we also change payment terms for CS stock invoices.
6) CS0001 Warehouse not been reduced by invoice qty and you have and invoice to send to the consumer.
There are one or two floors in the procedure. eg handling changes in cost of stock.
Happy to send you our procedures is you put an email on your business card.
Thanks,

Stock of customer in our premises

Hi,
We need your help in the following process:
We receive an order from the Customer
We do the production against the sales order
We do the delivery & the Billing to the customer in SAP as per the standard process.
But in our case the material is not going out of our factory. Material physically remains with us. We delivery the material to the customer as per his requirement.
For example,
Sales order us created on 01.12.2011 for 1000 Qty
Production is done on 03.12.2011 for 1000 qty against the sales order
Delivery & Billing for 1000 qty is done on 04.12.2011
Material (500 Qty, 200 Qty, 300 Qty) is sent to the customer on 10.12.2011 , 15.12.2011 and 20.12.2011 respectively
Please advise how to keep the stock in our sap system in the name of customer.
Regards,
Tulasi

Hi Sri nath,.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I agree to you and Lakshmipathi. May be I could not explain my problem properly. Consignment stock is a special stock lying with the customer, but it is companyu2019s valuated stock till the time customer sells the material to the third party.
Let me explain my scenario again what we do:
1. Customer gives an order of 1000 pens.
2. We do mass production of 1000 pens
3. Customer says you bill for 1000 pens today, but he will take the 1000 pens from us from next months. As per his instruction we supply him the Material, say 500 pens in januray, 200 pens in march, 300 pens in july.
Practically speaking the customers pays to us for all 1000 pens once we informs him that we have produced the 1000 pens. On his request, we keep the pens with us as our storage capacity is huge and the customer gives us the order on regualr basis.
Please guide.
Regards,

Custom Site Templates How-To

I'm absolutely not opposed to doing a good deal of reading on this topic, so feel free to recommend online (and offline) resources that I might consult that provide the kind of information I'm seeking here. In any case, here is my issue...
I have been asked to develop "custom site templates" for an existing SharePoint 2013 (on-prem) environment where the vast majority of the site collections that are likely to ever be are already provisioned. My [admittedly feeble] understanding
of the "proper" way to do site templates is to reference the master pages and style library and such that exist at the site collection root for subordinate sites that are hosted within that site collection. Buuuuut, when the site collections already
exist (i.e. you aren't creating them using a customized template that contains all that information), what is the best practice approach to handling and applying these customizations?
I will point out that I am equipped and willing to manage these custom templates using VS (2013), but if that's not entirely necessary, then I'm as willing to avoid that... ;)
If someone could get me started on the right approach or point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi Ramz_dc,
In addition to the default templates, you can create your own site template based on a site you’ve created and customized in SharePoint. This is a powerful feature in SharePoint that allows you to create a custom solution and then share that solution with
your peers, the broader organization, or outside organizations. You can also package the site and open it in another environment or application like Microsoft Visual Studio and further customize it there.
