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

Hi all,
I wanted to check abt 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 be utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

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.

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.

How do you cope with releases of your custom Portal Content (PCD Content)?

Dear SDN Community,
I'm very interested in how you cope with release management in the Portal (PCD).
Where I'm focusing on is the release of a "project" trough your landscape (Dev, Test, QA, Prod)
When starting a project you start with a new folder lets say "My Custom App" that contains all your content.
Once done you transport to Test, QA and eventually Prod. Now the Content is in use and roles are assigned.
Request for changes arive from the customer and eventually a new release need to be implemented.
Offcourse you could then change/update the content in the initial folder and transport that to Test, QA again but you will not be able to fix incidents while creating the new release because objects maybe touched.
I was thinking about a scenario where you create subfolders in your application folder, see example below:
\ "My Custom App"
|--- Release 1.0
|--- Release 1.1
|--- Release 2.0
|--- Current
You only do this on your Dev system. Everytime a Release is OK you put it in the "Current" folder and transport this to Prod.
Using this you won't have to change the Role assignments in your different landscapes as they are always pointing to the "Current" folder. In addition this scenario enables you to provide Pilot rollouts to smaller groups parallel to the Major release.
My question to you is to shoot on it and give your oppinion/feedback... where possible provide links to SAP document or best practices that describe this subject...
Thnx in advance,
Benjamin Houttuin

Hi Bejamin,
It is an interesting approach you describe and I see no reason it should not work.
The only thing which can create some problems is that the object ID of roles must be unique. For example com.mycom.roles.roleA cannot exist in two separate folders in the PCD. For all other PCD objects it is the PCD ID which must be unique and this includes the folder prefix.
In my experience, the most natural solution for this in large portal environments is to have both a version and a production line.
The production line will be your standard sandbox, development, test/QA, production and the version line will consist of an development and test/QA systems.
Long running projects for enhancements to existing functionality will be done in the version line, before being transported to the production line when ready for GoLive. This makes even more sense when you have version lines for backend systems your portal are using which are modified at the same time.
Whilst the project is running, the production line can be used for changes to the current version, but it is important to note that all these changes have to be migrated into the version line in order to make sure they are not overwritten.
Of course, a version line brings extra cost related to synchronization and similar, so it is not always it makes sense.
Amit's two documents of large portal installations might be somewhat relevant:

How does Arch cope with occasional upgrades?

Hi all,
I'm a long time Gentoo user, but as I don't have the time to upgrade my system every five minutes I only end up running upgrades every few months (or when I want to install a program that has a long string of dependencies.)
Unfortunately this process always ends in tears for me, as Gentoo is not designed to go for more than a few weeks between upgrades. So every time I do this packages fail to compile, programs won't run because of missing dependencies, libraries can't be upgraded because of weird conflicts, and I generally end up tearing my hair out trying to get my system back up and running again.
So I've pretty much had enough of this and I'm looking for a new distro. Gentoo would be perfect if it could cope with lengthy delays between upgrades, and from what I have read Arch has a similar methodology so I'm thinking Arch might be the way to go.
So - how does Arch cope if you wait six months or more between upgrading software packages? After upgrading a library, do you need to "manually" (at least Gentoo has a script) find applications that have broken and update those too? Or does pacman leave you with a working system every time you run it?
Any other insights that would be useful for someone coming from the Gentoo world?
Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful replies! Just to clarify, the problems I have with Gentoo are not so much the changes (e.g. updating configuration files to work with a new app version) my main complaint is that the upgrade just doesn't work. If I could run one command and come back 24 hours later and it was complete then that would be fine, the problem I have is that it breaks every few packages so doing a full upgrade takes days - and I mean days where you are sitting in front of it manually adding, removing and reinstalling packages to keep the package management system happy.
So when you mention things like packages changing their names or a python2 -> python3 transition, do you mean that pacman can't automatically handle this, and some manual intervention would be required? Because really, all I'm after is something like Gentoo but with less compile errors and nonsense complaints about package conflicts - something smart enough to just figure out what needs to be done by itself. But if this is likely to happen under Arch as well, maybe you're right and something like Ubuntu would be more my style (wow, coming from Slackware originally, I never thought I'd say that!)
Of course if it's binary-based then presumably these errors surface much faster than they do with Gentoo, so I'm curious - what are the types of problems you mostly get from pacman when upgrading your whole system?

How does SAP deal with authorization profiles combination?

Will anyone please confirm me that how authorization checking works with profiles combination in SAP? If I set two profiles for a user. In one profile, I grant auhorization object F_BKPF_BES with value 3/001. And in another profile, I grant F_BKPF_BES 1/002. Will the system reckon that the user have been granted F_BKPF_BES (1,3)/(001,002) or it will consider the two profiles separately?
Regards
Robbie

> All the authorisations are loaded in the user buffer when the ID logs in...
Yes, the reference to the authorizations are loaded, per authorization(!) for each object.
>... and are combined to maximise the user buffer.
Not completely. Authorizations are generated per role and per object. You cannot mix the field values of the objects in different authorizations.
> Therefore your authorisations will be seen as if they are all combined.
The consequence is combinations of all roles, per object. Not per field. Otherwise you could not create authorizations which permit you to display some values and change only a subset of them.
Cheers,
Julius

How well is Arch with Thinkpad T43?

I have an old Thinkpad T43 with Opensuse 10.3 installed, as opensuse 10.3 is out of support cycle, I want to try Arch, but not sure if everything is fine, currently all hardwares(modern, suspend/resume, speaker/mic, volume control, etc... everything) are working fine, I also tried latest versions of some distros like Ubuntu 10.04 but there are a few hardwares not working. Is there anyone who have similar experience can tell me how well is it?
Thanks!

I think a T43 even fully supports all tp smapi functions Check the wiki for all possibilities!

TS1884 How do you cope with a system that shuts itself down after a safe boot progress bar is completed?

How do you resolve a problem with a system that shuts itself down after a safe reboot and when the progress bar is completed? Thanks.

Thanks for you response - the honest answer is I don't know, not being particularly IT literate. I do know however that I'm running Maverick if that is of any help?
I also tried the Command R route, along with holding some other keys as per the Apple troubleshooting guide, but no luck. My wife pointed out though that the system was running slowly over the last few days and we had quite a lot of the 'spinning beach ball' before being able to undertake tasks.
Lastly, I inserted my start up disk bit as the system is unable to start I'm now unable to retrieve it. All-in-all a real pain.
Appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

HP Bluetooth Laser Mouse - anyone know how well it works with Leopard?

I have no doubt that it should connect fine to my Boot Camp Windows XP, but has anyone used this mouse with a MacBook? Is it a good mouse in general? What about Leopard - are all of it's buttons and functions available?
This is the mouse I am looking at : http://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-Bluetooth-Laser-Mouse-wireless/dp/B0013JX38S/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&m=A3J0NC2R65XHPW&s=generic&qid=1223575379&sr=1-1

I got the HP mouse today, it looks very sleek and seems to connect effortlessly in Leopard and Tiger, has a good amount of hand support too. The only immediate concern is that the tracking speed seems to go from average to WOAH THERE!!! with little in between (like the shower that only has two settings - freezing cold or scolding hot). The tracking is very fine though so I guess smaller more refined movements may be in order. Haven't found how to make the scroll wheel sideways button action work yet, but at least I have a scroll wheel again.
I got this mainly for Windows gaming on the MacBook so the Windows drivers are probably much better and more refined for that purpose.

How does gatekeeper cope with already existing software if I do an upgrade?

Gatekeeper is supposed to make sure that only apps from registered users are runnable. But how are already nstalled apps going to be treated?

If i dont want to relax global security settings, can I set an exemption for an application, that will be valid in in the future as well, or do I have to grant run privilege each time I want to use the app?
If an app is already installed when you upgrade to ML, then those apps will, by default, be marked OK by the system.
Once you grant privlidges to an app they will be permanent.

How do we cope with the wretched performance of iphone4 with IOS 7.0.2. Before update it was working fine. Since, the text entry has 4 to 10 seconds buffered lag, and the impresssion is that the processor is overtaxed. Not at all acceptable for a compulso

Since compelled to take the IOS 7.0.2 "upgrade" I experience 4 - 10 second delays in text inputting. The keystrokes are buffered then displayed. Other signs suggest the processor is under way too much load.
I haev reduced the concurrent apps to 1. turned off location services, most notifications etc etc .
It occurs like this on Twitter and FB, and IM and simple text messages.
Clearly the software is too processor intensive for iPhone 4
Will this be addressed?
Are there more configurations I acn adopt to manage the overload?
I think I ve turned everything off that I can without shutting down the 3G fundctions WiFi and phone.
My smartphone has been rendered dumb by the Apple Core

How Discoverer Reports cope with table name changes

I want to change the name of an oracle table that is queried by a number of Discoverer reports owned by various users.
I have been told that Discoverer might have the smarts to handle this without manual intervention of users having to open their reports and repoint them to the new tablename. Would someone be able to enlighten me?

Thanks Guys for help.
Additionally I'd like to add for the purpose of the name change is business driven and therefore it is important that business (report writers) see the new name so.....
For each simple folder in the EUL there are there 3 attributes you need to be aware of:
(1) Folder Name (the name as seen in Discoverer)
(2) Identifier
(3) Physical Database Object name
(1) and (2) are used by a Disco workbook to resolve back to the physical object name.
Therefore, you can change either (1) or (2) [but not both] and still have the workbook resolving back to the physical object name on the folder (ie (3)).
In summation, I changed (1) and (3) while leaving (2) unchanged to resolve the whole glorious mess....

How to cope with a dead pixel

Yes, I know, there's no fix for a dead pixel (is there?), and there are lots of maybe-fixes for a "stuck" pixel. Well, I have a dead pixel, super-dead, in a really terrible place (the lower right quadrant, just a tad above where, say, the iTunes ministore would be). I'm stuck with it. I can't do anything to get it fixed or replaced (can I?), so my question to the community is about dealing with it. How does one cope with something so aggravating? Are there some tweaks one can do to make, say, white web pages reverse their colors so the pixel is not as apparent? Are there other methods to get rid of it or make it less obvious? I'm going mad. Someone help. <<br>
Macbook 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB RAM 120GB HDD

Well , I do understand how crazy it can drive you when a pixel is dead. Everything was fine on my MB then about a month in I noticed a pixel that was dead, I too looked at every topic I could find on the subject, nothing helped. So I took my MB into my local Apple Store, they sent it off to repair. Of course Apple did not fix because "One pixel is not considered enough of a problem to repair". So the Apple Store actually ordered me a new screen and replaced it for free.
I was very happy until I turned on the computer at the A.S. and once again it had a dead pixel in a different spot. they said that there was nothing they could do about it. They would not replace it again because it would screw up their store budget. So I'm learning to deal with it. Believe me it really *****, I'm a perfectionist at it really bugs me to see this flaw. Other than that my MB is great and I love it. Good Luck!
