How well does SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ......?

Hi all,
I wanted to check about how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

Hi,
Not sure about the scenario - many BOMs for many production line - Is it that there are very high number of material master data which has BOMs or there are lot of BOMs for single material. If it is the second case, concept of variant configuration can be used, where number of BOMs are reduced by using super BOM.
Regarding high quantity of POs: probably you can exlpore the option of clubbing small POs into a single one for common vendors.

Amalesh

Hi,
SAP was built around the manufacturing functionality. I have been implementing SAP into Manufacturing companies for the past 17 years and the size (Big or small) and complexity (simple or complex) has never been an issue.
In fact, I would say that the companies that benefit the most from SAP are manufacturing companies that have lots of BOMs, lots of POs etc.
there couldn't be a better fit of functionality.

How well does Captivate work with Flash?

I'm kind of new to e-learning. I can create interactivity in Flash just have not used e-learning software, currently we have Articulate and it seems to be limited to actionscript 2 and player 6 for some things I need to do. Below is the description of what I have done.
I created a module built in flash which has 4 questions (will have many more). The data and images are loaded in using an XML file. The questions require the user to select the correct image, if he doesn't, he is asked to push a button, to go back. When he selects the correct image he can move to the next question.
I need the module to work in a linear fashion, in articulate the user can move forward and back to any question as he wishes because the navigation is on the articulate template and does not control the swf.
How well does flash communicate with captivate? Can I pass variables? Can I restict the user from moving forward until a flash "widget is complete"?
Any help is appreciated!

At the end of the day, the presentation is compiled into AS3 so you can easily communicated with Captivate. Actually, what you need to do is a Captivate Question Widget. If you build your swf as this, you'll be able to edit your questions from within Captivate and benefits from their LMS tracking features and some more.
I'm pretty sure that you can block to move to the next question but maybe someone else can corroborate.

E72 - How well does it work with Garmin Mobile XT?

I bought Garmin Mobile XT for my mobile and successfully installed it, but it stops responding after a while, maybe some 5-10 minutes. Has anyone else tried it with the E72?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ahhh, damn it! Ovi Maps doesn't cover Serbia (yeah, we're heaven forsaken, I know). Good thing I didn't actually buy Garmin and then figured it doesn't work.. I was considering buying it actually. Go figure - the map of Serbia, which is basically a third world country in the middle of Europe, costs exactly as much as the maps covering most of Europe. That just s*cks.
You've got kudos from me for advice, thanks!
Do you happen to know any other GPS software that does work on the E72?

How well does premiere work with the Canon XH-A1?

I've used premiere for some time now, but the older 6.01/6.5 version. I finally bought a camera based on what folks were saying of the camera, and naively believing "they're all the same when it comes to capture" -- i.e., firewire is firewire, so it's a no brainer.
The camera I bought was the Canon XHA1, and from what I see from a couple of posts, it sounds like Adobe and Canon are far from bed-partners...
I downloaded the trial version /specifically/ to test HD capture with the camera before I spent the big $$$ on the upgrade, but it seems the -one- feature I wanted to actually test has been disabled from the trial, which makes it rather worthless for me.
What I'm curios about is what format the capture takes -- previously, with 6.0 and a DV camcorder, I would capture in "raw" format and the system saved them to disk as .AVI files. With the Canon and a "competitive product", capturing HD creates a multitude of files -- separate audio files, a video file in some obscure format, a "scene" file or index indicating where the cut-points are or should be in the overall video, etc.
Honestly, I prefer the single file format for media, especially if I preview the entire tape and make a batch-capture list -- makes it easy to deal with "archiving" the captured media later on...

Thanks for the replies -- as it is, I do get a message with the other program >cough<pinnacle>cough< that my system might not adequately "capture" video. I suppose the system is getting to the "obsolete" stage, even though I followed the "ultimate linux box" article for the specs [AMD 3400, nvidia 6800, corsair memory, SATA disks set up as raid, etc.] but now that I think of it, it was probably the "ultimate linux box" for 2004 or so... ;)<br /><br />editing has been a little mushy with the other program, but so far all I've done is simple cuts and fades [oh, and one night hand-correcting the image stabilzation, but that's a story of it's own...] I'm kinda turned off by their "buy the package for $130 now, then pay more to turn on each individual feature you thought you were paid for in the first place..." I don't know if it will get to the point where it meets or exceeds the full CS3 price, but since I qualify for the discounted price of $300, I'll probably get there...<br /><br />But, back to the point -- if "all HD" is the same [separate audio and video files], then I'll deal with it and not worry too much. For the most part I don't care if the video "scrubs" properly, but I *do* care that it RENDERS properly (I can let the system render day and night if I have to) so I'll continue to squeeze a little more out of this "ultimate" system just a little longer [and in two or three years when my regular DVD player dies and "all that's available" is blu-ray, I'll upgrade when the prices are better :) ]

How well does GarageBand work with the MB Air or the MB Pro 13"?

Greetings, everyone! I'd considering purchasing my first Apple computer -- to become more familiar with OSX (professionally) and to use GarageBand with my MIDI-compatible electronic keyboard (personally).
I'm having trouble deciding which laptop to buy--the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro (probably the 13" -- I'm having a lot of trouble justifying the price jump from the 13" to the 15"). I like the beautiful look of the Macbook Air; but I'm wondering whether 2GB of RAM (at least for the models from Amazon.com -- where I want to buy from) will be sufficient. I plan to do basic photo editing, browsing, perhaps some simple video editing, and to use GarageBand. For that reason, I'm leaning towards the Macbook Pro 13" (sadly, with the now-dated Intel Core 2 Duo, and with 4GB).
Can anyone who is using GarageBand with either the Air or the Pro 13" with 4GB tell me what the performance is like? Would I regret going with the Air 2GB, the Pro 13" with 4GB, or even both? Thanks!

Thanks! I have a Yamaha PSR-E403. 61-keys.

Also, since you asked what model KB I have...
Like most electronic keyboards I'm sure, this model doesn't have any space to place the MBP on top. What do other users use to hold their laptop in an effective spot for lessons, etc.?
http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-Deluxe-2-Tier-Keyboard/dp/B0002M3OJ0 looks good...but I already have the keyboard stand.
http://www.amazon.com/Stage-KSA7500-Second-Keyboard-Stands/dp/B0002E3DNU/ref=sr13?ie=UTF8&m=A3QI5PL377NJ1M&s=musical-instruments&qid=1291044721&sr=1-3 appears to be the upper portion of the same item and would likely work in my situation.
OTOH, these products appear to be designed for placing a larger music keyboard above the primary keyboard -- not for a laptop. Appreciate any comments.

How well do iPad cope with cold

Im taking my iPad to Finnland
Im worried that the iPad might get too cold and cause problems
is this true? or am i being stupid

This is what the limits are according to the tech specs for the Air
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
So I wouldn't exactly go outside when it's below freezing and watch a movie. Also if it gets cold, let it warm to room temp before you use it, and don't, for example, take it into the bathroom to warm up since cold items and warm, moist air lead to condensation which can damage the device.

How well does Qmaster via Compressor work with FCP 7?

How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

The short answer is that there is no interoperability between them. Of course, you can certainly export a QT movie from FCP and bring it into C4.
Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it for someone already has C3. There is very little that C4 can do that C3 cannot. The major differences are that C4 has certain presets like MPEG 4 h.264 and 1080 Apple TV; it can also create simple Blu Rays and DVDs. Qmaster is integrated, but I'm not sure whether that is a gain.

How well does the 2013 MacBook Air 13" Handle Adobe Creative Cloud Program's?

How Well Does The 13" MacBook Air Handle The Adobe Creative Cloud Apps?
I'm A Visual Communication Student But I Would Like Extremely Portable Setup Hence The MacBook Air 13", The Main Program's I Use Are:
Photoshop
InDesign
Illustrator
And I Also Use Dreamweaver & After Effects From Time To Time.....
How Would A Top Spec 2013 13" Air Cope Running These Program's??

What about the backpack? Did you have it in one often?
College and notebooks = backpacks usually 9 times out of 10, was that the case?
Your MacBook Air doesnt like roommates in your backpack
Many collects students or people in general are fond of using non-idealized backpacks (without a padded laptop compartment) along with their books. Sandwiching books around your notebook etc. is an extremely bad idea and can leads to your LCD screen being destroyed when heavy textbooks are pressing against same, or when dropping your backpack, these books slam into your Macbook causing great potential for damage.
~"large white blotch and pixilated lines running down the screen."
That indicates a significant impact.
~~"They kept telling me it was "excess pressure". I told them it was impossible, it would be normal pressure"
What do you mean by "normal pressure" ANY pressure to the LCD is abnormal pressure.

How well does the TomTom app work?

Let's hear it, how well does the TomTom app work compared to a dedicated GPS device? Are you using TomTom's special cat kit? Is there a way to load TomTom binary files (POIs) onto the iphone?

I have used a Garmin Nuvi760 for about 2 years and have been very pleased. When TomTom had a sale for $50 and now seems to be $60, I bought it. I also bought a kensington car mount. (http://us.kensington.com/html/17546.html). I like it. with my 3GS, there is no need for the amplified TomTom car kit. The speech quality could be better but it's loud enough. I do like the on screen presentations a bit more than my Garmin. I'm still getting used to the interface. It's a real good thing that I can use my contacts file to set destinations. My next step is to go on an 800 mile trip this month and compare the two systems side by side. So far, TomTom has not always made the best route choice and once sent me to the right address in an adjoining city. (This is southern Cal) Not good, but these are map issues which will always be evolving. Is it worth it? Yes. At $100, maybe. The good thing is that my phone is always with me and so is my GPS. I does put a drain on the battery, so it should be on charging while using in a car.
