IBGP Multipath and IGP Cost

When using iBGP multipath in an MPLS VPN context, does the IGP cost associated with multiple routes to a given prefix have to be equal for the routes to be considered as multipaths? That is to say, if maximum-paths iBGP is configured under an ipv4 address family on PE1, and PE1 learns a route to the same prefix from both PE2 and PE3, does PE1's IGP cost to PE2 and PE3 have to be equal (in addition to equal weight, local preference, AS path, origin code, and MEDs) for the two routes to be used as multipaths?
Thanks in advance.

In a scenario where you have a CE connected to two PEs with different link speed you could use the BGP Link Bandwidth feature to achieve unequal cost load balancing. Refer to the following URL for more information on to configure this feature:

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions,

MPLS VPN routes with core IGP costs

Hi,
Is there any way to use the IGP cost between PEs, and pass that into the VRF prefixes?
For example:
A branch site has 2x CEs (CE-A & CE-B), each with a link to a different PE (PE-A & PE-B). EBGP is used between CE-PE. IBGP Between CE-A & CE-B. CE-C is also connected to PE-B with EBGP.
Without any manual intervention, the link from CE-A to PE-A and the link from CE-B to PE-B would be equal cost away. In reality it would be preferable (in our case at least) for traffic destined to CE-C to use the CE-B to PE-B link, because it would result in a shorter path in the core.
I have been looking for a way to use the IGP metric associated with the VRF route next hop. Ideally, I would like to have the option to copy the IGP cost to next hope into the VRF prefix's MED field... or if you're already using MED as a metric then perhaps the option to ADD the IGP cost to next hope to the existing MED value. I was hoping you would be able to do this with an Import Map on the VRF but I can't see a way of acheiving this.
Is there another way to get this result?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Giuseppe
Thanks very much for your response but I think perhaps I did not explain my question correctly...
What I was trying to acheive was to influence the rouitng at the branch (CE level with the use of MED), rather than at the PE VRF as you have described with Local Preference.
I would like the branch AS (consisting of CE-A & CE-B) to choose the link between CE-B - PE-B to get to CE-C's networks, because it is directly connected or has an IGP cost of 0.
I'm aware I can do this on CE-B by identifying the prefixes from that AS and applying a route-map on CE-B, but I was hoping there was a solution that would be more automatic and less admin overhead by being able to copy the IGP cost into the BGP MED field, as this would then be sent to the CE-B. The prefix sent from PE-A to CE-A would have a higher IGP cost and so would send a higher MED. I hope what I'm trying to explain makes sense.
If this is not possible (I can't find any reference to such a feature...) then are you aware of any other feature that would result in similar behaviour withou having to manually identify prefixes with route maps? The best I can come up with so far is to tag routes into each PE with a community and use a route-map outbound on PE to CE to add a higher MED value to prefixes that do not contain this same community... Or perhaps this can be done with the SOO attribute. The trouble with this method is it only works for PEs with directly connected CEs. It would be nice to leverage the information in the IGP routing table...
Thanks,
Peter

Report for extracting the actual and planned cost from service orders

HI all
we are creating a report in BI for Module - Customer service . LIke , the report is all about how many complaints created in the system and how many completed technically and what is the cost involved for each complaint .
Like we want the comparision between the planned cost and the actual cost .
Now to give the logic to the BI Team for planned cost and actual cost , please suggest the flow of logic or table flow to arrive the planned and actual cost
thanks in advance

Hi Marthand,
I am not sure which datasource your are using. In this case, you can use the 0VALUETYPE to differencitae between th eplan and actuals. Normally Plan which is budget will have value 050 and for actuals will have 010. For costs, you will have one key figure and at the reporting level, you will have the costs restricted by the value type for plan and actual to make comparisons.
Hope this helps.

Srinivas

Report for production order with actual and target cost for each

Hi
Is there any report that gives me the list of all production orders in a month with its respective actual and target costs?
I can use COOIS to get a list of production orders, then double click on the prod order, then click on goto and then to cost analyis.. but can i avoid going through all this and get a report with the details i need?
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for that.
I'm a little confused with the columns in the report.
Which columns should I keep for my requirement? -
Production Order
Total Target Cost
Total Actual Cost
Total Actual Qty

Inventory Report-Replacement path for Base UOM to Case and Standrad Cost

Hi, We have a Scenario as below:
Question1:
We have a multiprovider contains 4 infocubes and 2 Master Data objects
a.Demand
b.Inventory
c.Sales Orders
d.In Transit
Master Data objects
a. Material (contains Base UOM to Case as Key Figure Attribute and also Base UOM as an attribute)
b. Material Location (Contains material as an attribute and also Standard Cost as a Key Figure attribute)
At the report level two formula variables are defined with replacement path for showing the Base UOM to Case and Standard Cost in columns.
We have 4 reports on this multiprovider. There is a dialy sales report which gives the following details
Material, Location, MRP Controller, CalDay, Base UOM, Actual Sales(AS), Dependent Demand(DD), Consumption Qyt(CQ), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
In this report for all the records the Base to UOM and Standard Cost column is coming with values which is nothing but the replacement path on the material master key figure attribute. Though this report is on the multiprovider all the major keyfigures (AS, DD and CQ) are coming from a single cube( this is an observation from myside).
We have another report which is the Inventory Report with the following details:
Material, Location, MRP Controllder, Calday, Base UOM, Unrestricted Inventory(UI), committed Inventory(CI), Back Order Qty(BOQ), In Transit by Sh/Rec(ITS), In Transit Pipeline(ITP), On Order Qty (OOQ), Current Inventory Position (CIP), Quality Inspection Stock(QIS), Block Stock(BS), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
Now in this report for all the records the Base to Case UOM and standrad cost is not showing up. Is there anything which needs to be done in order to get the Base to Case UOM and standard cost for all the records.
Question2:
When Non-Cumulative and Cumulative key figures are combined at the multi provider and also at the report level, will there be any problem?
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
I think you can proceed with virtual characteristics for this.In the code you can truncate the time and you can display on the date:

Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing a

My client ask for using same account for GR/IR account and all planned cost clearing account.
i try to convince it should be different accounts but he needs a logical answer.
Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing accounts?

Dear friend.
u just tell him while doing GR it will debited n while doing IR it should get credited.hence we need to take diff G/L account or same account.

How to calculate the Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost)

Hi,
Please help me how to calculate the Current APC.
The Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is a calculated value based on Previous Year Acquisition balance plus any value changes up to the time of the report.
The Asset History Report (RAGITT_ALV01) calculates the Current APC value &
The Current APC can also be found in the Asset Explorer (transaction code AW01N) under Country Book 10/ Posted Values tab then the line Acquisition Value and column Posted values.
I suppose that the calculation of Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is getting done in the GET statements in the report RAGITT_ALV01, but unable to find the actual logic.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Satish

ERS and delivery costs

Hi guys,
We have following two problems in case of ERS vendors.
1) We have certain delivery costs also in purchase order. The same vendor will receive material payment and freight related payments. In MRRL transaction, we select "Selected goods items + Planned del costs" and run MRRL. But after this also, amount excluding freight amount is posted in the invoice and delivery cost is not being picked for invoice. How to get material cost + delivery cost also in one invoice
2) In another scenario, we have different freight vendor. For this we are configuring ERS for delivery costs also. But the problem is in configuration we have to mention the vendor code in "Specify Automatic Settlement of Planned Delivery Costs". Can we give vendor code as " * " here? Or is there any other way of doing configuration without mentioning vendor code and it is applicable for all vendors ?
Please suggest the solution for the above two problems.

Hi Pankaj,
Thanks for ur reply. This will work. But my problem is with this, we have to include all the freight vendors in configuration. But we do not know how many vendors are there for the company. If any new vendor is created, who has to enter this in the configuration..
Is there any other way of making this functionality applicable for all vendors.
Other problem is in our PO we have basic rate and 3 to 4 delivery costs,. We have made 103 and then 105 and run ERS run and arranged payment to material vendor (it is same for both material and freight)
But for some reason we are making return delivery against material document with 105 movement. When we run MRRL for this, it will generate credit memo for the quantity returned to vendor. But delivery costs are also added. We want to avoid delivery costs in credit memo and it should only take material cost
How to acheive this? Please help me out

Goods and delivery cost processing at one instance through MIRO

Hi
The scenario is; vendor is common for both goods and delivery cost,organization want to pass MIRO bill wise for goods and delivery cost at same instance.
If vendor is same we can do it for multiple Po at same instance in MIRO,what Mr, Bijay Kumar said ,follow this

Reversing A/P Invoice posted with wrong date and inventory cost adjustment

Here's the situation:
We had a PO dated 9/1/09 for items with a cost of $14.50, a Goods Receipt was entered 9/15/09 for the items with the same cost on the PO of $14.50. Somehow the order got lost in the mix and the AP invoice wasn't entered until today, with a posting date of 1/21/10 and the cost was corrected per the original vendor invoice to the right amount of $19.33. The invoice was actually dated 9/15/09. This resulted in hitting the vendor, purchases clearing and the inventory account (for the cost adjustment) in January 2010 when it should have occurred in September 2009.
The inventory itself has come and gone in the time between the GR and when the invoice was done with the incorrect date. Normally I would try to reverse the transaction with a Credit Memo and start over, however since the inventory side happened so long ago, I don't see any way of easily going backwards. I thought about doing service CM/invoice but what I am most concerned about is having the inventory valuation occur properly at the correct time. I'm not sure how to go about this.
Using SAP B1 2007A PL42 with moving average inventory.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nicole,
I am afraid you may not have ability to do the adjustment based on historical date that long times ago. You know, the moving average has limited calculation based on current quantity and cost. There are no options to go backward especially new year is coming.
Thanks,
Gordon

Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' could not be found for area 01' in ABZON

Hi All
I m getting one error 'Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' could not be found for area 01' in ABZON. I know we have to maintain accounts using Tcode-AO85 but
1) how to know the correct Account Determination.
2) How to know the correct G/Ls to be maintained in AO85.
Pls advice.
Thnx in advance.
Regards
Pankaj

Hi,
In ABZON, if you are acquiring with existing asset then you cna have access to account determination / asset class from asset master. If you are also creating new asset then you will have access to asset class.
In OAYZ, we assign account determination to asset class. and in AO85, we asign GL account to account determination.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

AIAB - Account Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs could not be found

Hi Guys,
I want to doing Settle Asset Under Construction with AIAB,
when i doing Process distribution rules with target Asset on time-dependent it's Cost Center, it's no problem and success
but if i doing Process distributin rules with target Asset on time-dependent is Internal Order, so i can't process and show error message : Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' could not be found
so can any body give me the solution, where is the problem ??
Thank's
Best Regards
Ferry

Hi,
In AO90, check for the Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' .
Then for the GL account check the field status group. May be Cost center might be mandatory.
