Is it possible to create financial plan for cost budget when ?

Hello Experts,
I am in situation where customer is currently using budgetory control enabled features and creating / maintaining cost budgets using oracle Form based budgets. Now after using for so many years, suddenly they choose not to use it. Instead they want financial plans to use for cost and revenue budgeting.
When We have run UPG : Upgrade budget type process it results into no data found and cannot able to help me in upgrading financial plan.
I think if the budgetory control is enable then we must need to create the cost budgets using Oracle Smart Forms. Am I rght?
If I am right then what would be work around? As I cannot ask them to create a new project & close exsting project because lots of PO & REQ are still open.
Lets say though they wanted to closed those PO & REQ and wanted to disabled budgetory control option on project they must need to diasable encumbrance acconting from Ledger. In that case what would be the overall impact? And what is gurantee whether system allow them to updgrade the budget to financial plan?
Has someone trapped and escaped from such kind of situation ever before?
Please help...
Thanks
:-)

Hi Dina,
The patch is nothing doing great but disabling the flag from the table which in turns enabling the budget types to be upgraded to financial plans very smoothly. Once updgraded, the budgets values are easily available in financial plans for reporting and further processing.
In this org, Customer is not using budgetory control functionality but in another org they are using it.
What I have learn in this situation is had it been all the budget types been upgraded first and later use in budgetory control, this situation would not have been arrived.
Thanks
:-)

ECM import PCP data

Hi Friends,
My client has two Org structures with each CEO on the top for each structure. For ECM budget process. I built two budget structures. After the budget import PCP data process, one structure work correctly of allocation of the budget, which the manageru2019s budget roll up or add up to the one-up mangeru2019s distributable budget. However; the other Org structure is not correct for level 2. The level 2 mangersu2019 budget is added to their own distributable budget, and not roll up to the CEOu2019s budget, and the admin of the CEOu2019s budget is missing. It seems working for the level 3 and down.
The budget for each employee were correctly shown on the PCP Cost Plan Run Manage process.
Any one know whatu2019s happening, there is no change on the configuration. What is the best way for me to fix or adjust the budget?
Please advise as soon as you can....
Thanks!

ECM budget using PCP

We are implementing ECM budgeting using Personnel Cost Planning Tools. We did the PCP minimal configuration, ran the PCP data collection to populate IT666, the budget for all cost items are there. Then, Cost plans were created for the organization units. However; Cost Plans run did not work for Stock. There were no error, but with warning. The report (cost items per cost object) did not have number populated. Do you know why?
I noticed that the currency is requested as an input when execute the Planning Run although it is for Stock.
And how is the number calculated in each quarter columns.
The other issue Im having is I got the error for each employee: does not have a budget for date xxxxx. The dates are the dates in IT666. What is the system looking for?
Thank you for any feedback

Hello Sue,
I´m trying to config PCP for the budget calculation I like bit confuse about the configuration that I need in PCP. Could you please tell me the configuration that you have done in PCP ?

Creation of Budget Billing Plan for Countries with Tax Jurisdiction

Hello Experts,
When I create a budget billing plan for a company code with country Canada/USA and jursidiction TAXCAJ/TAXUSJ using transaction EA61, I get the message "Taxes with jurisdiction code not permitted with down payments"(Message no. >0194). The long text for this message says "Delete your entry in the field for jurisdiction code" Is any one aware where from this jurisdiction code should be deleted.
Is it possible to create budget billing plan for countries with jurisdiction code at all ?
Thanks in advance
Venkat

Hello Roopali,
What I learnt in the process of exploring the functionality is that Payment PLan (BBP or AMB) is the budget billing method for countries with Tax Jurisdiction. Statistical, Partial & Payment Scheme only works when jurisdiction is not defined for tax procedure. Payment scheme is the recommend procedure for Eurpopean market
Thanks for your clarification
Best Regards

Running GL Journal Import for HR Budget

I'm trying to run the GL journal import for HR Budget after having posted the budget to GL, but there are no values in the LOV for Ledger.
I'm guessing that I might have to set my security profile for PSB:GL Budget Set, however when I try to do that it gives me the following error:
APP-FND-01436: List of values cannot find any values for you to choose.
Cause: The List of Values execution failed to find any values.
Cause: The SQL statement specified to fdlfch() failed to return any values.
Action: Check the message stack for any SQL statement failure messages. Check to make sure your SQL statement works in SQL*Plus. (Routine=fdlfch)
Any idea what I am missing?

I raised a SEV2 SR with product support and even they are out of thought on watz happening with the program.
i checked all the setups in webadi template, gl profiles, setup(s) but could not find any thing as problematic.Do you have any custom code or the database triggers?

Hyperion Planning vs Oracle Financial for departmental budgets

Hello,
I was wondering what the consensus is between using Oracle Financials vs. Hyperion Planning for variance analysis purposes.
My contention is that HP is a best-in-breed budgeting/planning tool and should be used to house our departmental budgets/forecasts and that actuals should be fed from Oracle Financials (G/L) to Hyperion Planning for variance anlaysis purposes. Some of my piers disagree. They feel the budgeting/forecating data should be pushed to Oracle Financials for variance analysis purpose. They claim it will be easier to provide drill-back capability into the ledger to find the answer to their variances.
I really couldn't disagree more - to me the analytical capability of HP trumps any drill-back capability provided by Oracle Financials. In addition, if we use an ETL tool like FDM to feed actuals from Oracle into HP, can't I drill back to the transactional data (actuals) via FDM? In addition, since we budget at a summary account level, how can you push summary planning data in HP to detailed transactional accounts in the G/L - pushing "one to many" doesn't make sense to me.
Anyway, just looking for some expert opinions on the subject. Much appreciated - Thanks

Hi,
We are currently in the final phase of implementing Oracle Financials and Hyperion for the same purpose that you have described in your post. We use Oracle Financials to record actuals and then transfer it to Hyperion under the scenario 'Actual'. While the budget/forecast data in only entered/saved in Hyperion. There are several financial reports for variances that are generated out of Hyperion. So far, this arrangement is serving us pretty well. I second your point that in Hyperion, we can easily compare summary level data. We have Hyperion reports that do variances calculations for sub-totals. In fact, we are also using HP reports for consolidated statements such as Balance sheet, Income statement etc. The actual data for these statements is coming from GL.
As for drill through functionality (from HP to sub-ledger details in financials), we are in process of implementing FDM and use it for both (1) loading data and (2) drill through.
Hope this helps.

Personnel cost plan (PCP) run for multi years period

There is a requirement of PCP run (tcode PHCPADMN) for multi years.
So, I create a plan, for example, from: 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014.
There is a position SPV1 has Infotype 5010 from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010, for example the value is 150 USD/month.
This position is described by a job, SPV.
The job SPV itslef has Infotype 5010 from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999, for example the value is 100 USD/month.
When I run the PCP, the result is:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010.
SPV has value 0 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (it is incorrect)
What I expect is:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010
SPV has value 100 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (getting data from job because position cost does not exist).
If I try to run on yearly basis, not multi year, the result is correct.
2010:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010.
2011-2014:
SPV has value 100 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (getting data from job because position cost does not exist).
it seems that SAP only consider, along the run period, if position has value it will takes from position, otherwise it will takes from job.
Is it normally like this or a bug?
Additional question: Do you have any comment about PCP run for multi years?
Thanks for all advise.

Hi,
you have to run your object data selection for multi years as well. First do this for the person, tha n do it for the position, than for the job. Than you can delete the data from the position and automatically the data from the job is taken (in average) for the position for the period you select.
A thing that you have to keep in mind for multi period runs is that it creates thousands and thousand of records. Runtime is therefore long and extraction to BW is also hard to create due to this. If it is possible to cut it in to pieces, this is advisable.

Frans

ECM Budget

Hi,
I'm implementing ECM module but I've some problem to manage budget functionalities. Customer need to manage compensation budget only on first level of organizational unit without distribute in detail budget for each organizational unit. I've done some test but if you assign budget only to main organizational unit subordinated one are not included in budget management. I've tried also to leave empty the flag "'Allocatable' Flag" in table V_T7PM3_B for budget type, but in this way budget became "invisible".
Any suggestion to managed budget in a centralized way?
Thank you in advance

Scope of Planning for Total Planning

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client Scenario is as follows
They import Spare Part materials from abroad to a Main Warehouse (defined as Plant in SAP) and then do stock transfer to around 60+ warehouse in different states (each defined as Plant in SAP).
At any time Stock exists in any of 60+ Plant and Main ware house Plant. However Purchase requirement and Purchase Order is created and placed from Only Main Warehouse Plant.
Now I am implementing Consumption based Planning with MRP. I am Planning to define a Scope of Planning for Total Planning.
Clarification I request :
1. Whether I need to define Only all 60+ Plants in Scope of Planning or can I include Main warehouse Plant also ?
2. In which case if there is requirement in one individual Plant and there exists stock in another one Plant - whether system will automatically create stock transfer Planned order. What Special procurement type I need to define for this (If it is 40 , whether I need to define any Issuing Plant, since I have 60 + Plants)
3. If I have to run Forecast and Planning run daily for 60+ Plants and weekly for Main warehouse Plant, Whether I need to create a Separate Scope of Planning for 60+ Plants and a Separate Variant for Main ware house Plant with different Schedules - Am I correct
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Hi Kumar,
Thanks for your immediate response.
If we define Special procurement type 40 for 60+ warehouse Plants materials with Supplying plant as Main Warehouse Plant, then if there exists stock in one of 60+ Plants and there is requirement in one of another 60+ plants how system will consider and create stock transfer between them.
Whether stock transfer between 60+ as well as Main plant is Possible ? If possible how to define Special Procurement type ?
Secondly what ever issued from 60+ Plants is the real Consumption of Material (as Material issued from Main ware house plant to 60+ Plants is only stock transfers and not real consumption).
In which case how to go about for forecast and MRP run for 60+ Plants and Main plant ?
Thanks,
R.Velmurugan

Help with DR plan for Exchange & SQL Server vDP 6 please.

Hi there,
I just need a little guidance building a backup & DR strategy using vDP and/or VR. SRM is probably not in the budget right now.
First question about "Application" backup recovery.... Do I need BOTH a "Guest Image" & "Application" backup of these servers to be able to recover in case of disaster? I'm guessing YES, since when I try to "Restore" an Application backup, I only see the Exchange or SQL databases for example. I do not see the actual VM C:\ drive, etc. Would I use a "Guest Image" restore, THEN an "Application" restore for a full recovery? What happens if your SQL database is on the C:\ drive, you will be backing them up double in this scenario, once in Guest Image, then again in Application backups?
Next question.... I've tested VR to a remote location (no SRM yet), and it worked well. I consider this a good DR plan for what we need. We currently use TSM for backups. If I change to local vDP backup + replicated vDP backups at the remote site, would this be a good replacement instead of VR? Our RTO is not a huge issue. Can I recover the replicated backups easily to the remote hosts? I realize the advantages of SRM, and I would need to do more manual steps, but our budget is tight.
Thanks for your help.

As with many things, these answers depend a lot on your environment, that said, from my experience as a customer, partner (and now with VMware) here are my answers:
- Depending on the application both guest and application can be a good idea. If you have applications with agents, I think it often makes sense to use them.
- You are correct that if you need to recover the entire VM, you would recover the VM image and then the application backup (if it was needed - there is a likelihood that the application backup may not be needed)
- You are correct, you are very likely backing up the application data twice. Seems worthwhile to me for the right applications, you'll have to evaluate for your environment
- VR or backups can work as a DR solution, especially if RTO isn't an issue. The main difference I see between them is RPO. VR can go as low as 15 mins, backups are usually 24 hours so again, it depends on your requirements. One additional benefit to SRM is the ability to non-disruptively test your DR plan which I think is one of the best parts of it. Totally understand about budget. I would recommend building and testing your DR plan and communicating the resulting RPO/RTO to the business so they are aware.
Does this answer your questions?

Is there a plan for Apple to continue offering the external iSight camera?

Hi All,
I'm thrilled to be the new owner of a Mac Pro w/Cinema display, but I'm getting jealous of my partner on his MacBook Pro with built-in iSight camera, having all the fun with video iChats and video Skype calls.
Since Apple has discontinued sales of the old external iSight camera, does anyone know if they have any plans for a new (even cooler) version? Or, if not, any recommendations on another product that would work just as well?
Thanks!

Hello John and Peter
¶2.1.1 of Apple Discussions' Terms of Use prohibits us from speculating on Apple's plans here. If you want to pursue that question, you can search the web for some of the many Mac or Apple rumor sites.
Some of the many available iSight alternatives are discussed in this link. Because you are using Leopard on your new Mac Pro, all of the alternatives mentioned there are available to you.
At present, the Apple Store sells the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision. However, any of the alternatives from the link in the paragraph above will work as long as they are compatible with your system and the applications you plans to use with your camera. The package documentation for many cameras list compatibility info for popular applications. Carefully check the documentation for any apps and cameras of interest before you buy.
Also check the camera's advertised features to be certain your compatible camera has all features that are important to you (examples: auto-focus, auto-exposrure, zoom capablility, integrated microphone, etc..) You may not need many, or even any, of these features, but many low priced Mac compatible cameras omit at least some of the features that you may need.
You will not have any difficulty finding cameras that will work with both iChat and Skype. For specific camera recommendations for iChat, search the iChat and iChat Sharing Forum for threads like this one.
For Skype-specific questions beyond what Webcams that Skype sells for use with their software, see the Skype Help pages.

Oracle Financials or Hyperion Planning for variance analysis??

We are considering Hyperion Planning for our Departmental budgets/forecasts and I'm have a disagreement with a few piers. Was hoping you could help. It's my contention that the budgets/forecasts AND actuals should be populated in Hyperion Planning. A few of my piers contend that the budgets/forecats should be housed in Hyperion Planning and pushed down to Oracle Financials for variance analysis - in order to provide drill back capability into the transacations that caused the variance.
Since H.P. is a consolidated system, I would think it's impossible to budget at a summary account level in H.P. and push it to base level/transaction level within Oracle Financials (one to many). In my view, the actuals should flow up from Oracle Financials, via FDM, into H.P. where variance analysis can take place? I would think drill back capability could be provided via FDM within Planning?
Anyway, was hoping to get your thoughts.

Hi,
We are currently in the final phase of implementing Oracle Financials and Hyperion for the same purpose that you have described in your post. We use Oracle Financials to record actuals and then transfer it to Hyperion under the scenario 'Actual'. While the budget/forecast data in only entered/saved in Hyperion.
