In wms difference between lean warehouse and central warehous

hi
this is very important that could any body tell me
what is lean warehouse
what is centeral warehouse
what is the differe

Hi
Lean ware house can also said as clean warehouse
here the basic difference between central WH is the material is always stored in or inventory is maintained in FIXED storage bins
Always the material is kept in FIXED storage bins
That is Picking area is fixed
This will have the organizational structures mainly Warehouse no,storage type,Picking area(fixed storage bins),doors and staging area
But a Central warehouse has random storage bins
Apart from all the organizational structures mentioned in lean it will also have storage sections ,reserve storage bins,strategies for picking like LIFO and FIFO,replinishment and inventory at storage bin level
WH is big concept in SAP and there is a separate forum SCM LOGISTICS EXECUTION here
Pls post it there
You will get more inputs

Difference between application server and central instance

Hi everyone,
whats the difference between application server and central instance and message server. where it will be installed. and how?
Regards
Basis Fresher

Hi,
just want to clarify that is is not correct that only one enqueue process can be configured on the CI.
Please see the documentation within transaction RZ11 for the parameter Parameter : rdisp/wp_no_enq
Short description : number of enqueue work processes
Parameter description :
You can use this parameter to define the number of enqueue work processes for the instance.
Ensure that a value >0 is only set on the central instance that provides the enqueue server (instance rdisp/enqname ). One enqueue work process on the central instance is normally sufficient (rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1); only in very large systems can a higher value be useful.

Difference between Consolidation, Harmonization and Central master data man

Hi ..Expertise
Consolidation is use to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record.
Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
Central master data management means you create records within MDM and then you distribute (Syndicate) this centrally created data to your Remote Systems.
My Question is her after Consolidation both Harmonization and Central master data management is doing the same thing i.e. sending the clean data to the other system. What is the difference between these two? Please explain me with an example or scenario..

Hi Yugandhar,
There are three basic scenarios that we follow in MDM:
Data Consolidation
Data Harmonization
Central Master Data Management
Consolidation :
Conolidation (matching , normalization, cleansing) and storage of master data imported from client system. Entails capabilities to identify identical and similar objects spread across the local systems , build consolidated master data.
Key Capabilities:
1. Cleansing and de-duplication
2. Data normalization including categorization and taxonomy management
3. New interactive consolidation capabilities
Data Harmonization :
In case of Harmonization we generally aim at reaching high quality master data within heterogeneous system landscapes. Here the main focus is on ensuring high quality of master data within the connected systems and then distributing the Master data
Key Capabilities:
1. Automated synchronization of globally relevant master data information
2. New Interactive distribution capabilities
Central Master Data Management :
In case of CMDM, it is not always the scenario that the Client wants to go for the above two scenario`s, but CMDM is always required as it helps us to maintain the Business data effectively and efficiently.
After MDM is put into the business scenario all the operations related to the Master records are done in MDM only. For Eg: Creating a record, Deleting a record, Distributing a record etc.
Now it is the work of CMDM to centrally maintain the data and check that no duplicate enteries can be created.
And all the various systems that are attached to MDM gets the updates from CMDM with the help of Syndication Process or Distribution Process.
Key Capabilities:
1. Central creation and maintenance of data
2. Ongoing master data quality

Differences between oracle 10gr2 and 11gr2 warehouse bulider

Hi All,
Could you please let me know the main differences between Oracle 10gr2 and Oracle 11gR2 warehouse builder.
Also , it would be great if anyone point me to the document where i can see the major differences.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Hi Naveen,
The major difference between OWB10gR2 and 11gR2 is the target RDBMS.
In 10gR2 you have to use ORACLE as your target RDBMS (unless you are going for DB Gateways, that is a complete different story).
Where as in 11gR2 allows you to use any RDBMS as your target system . This is achieved by Code-Template mapping.
All is needed is that proper jdbc driver for the target system.
Also 11gR2 supports OBIEE RPD creation and etc.

Difference between inventory management and warehouse management

can any body tell me the difference between inventory management and warehouse management i need atleast five differences

hi
1.
Processes in the area of Inventory Management address the recording and tracking of materials on a quantity and value basis. This includes planning, entry, and documentation of stock movements such as goods receipts, goods issues, physical stock transfers, and transfer postings as well as the performance of physical inventory (stocktaking).
Warehouse Management Processes cover warehouse-internal movements and storage of materials.
2.
SAP Warehouse Management allows you to manage your material flow, using advanced putaway and picking strategies. In the standard system, these strategies for putaway include random putaway (next empty bin), bulk storage, fixed bin, or addition to stock. The picking strategies include standard strategies first-in first-out (FIFO), last-in first-out (LIFO), picking by shelf life expiration date (SLED), or partial quantities first. For customer-specific strategies, solutions can be self-defined in user exits.
3.
While Inventory Management manages the stocks by quantity and value, the Warehouse Management component reflects the special structure of a warehouse, and monitors the allocation of the storage bins and any transfer transactions in the warehouse.

RE: Difference between Storage location and warehouse

Hi All,
What is the difference between storage location and warehouse?

Hi,
First of all Storage Lcoation is part of Inventory Management.
Warehouse is part of Logistics Execution.
Storage location is part of SAPu2019s enterprise structure that holds the stock quantity
Option: To maintain a single storage bin for every material in every storage location
To simplify: To utilize a storage location as the u201Cstorage facilityu201D means that the materialu2019s actual bin location is not important, or that the material is located in a single bin throughout the storage.
Warehouse is part of SAPu2019s enterprise structure that holds the stock bin location
To simplify: When a warehouse (Warehouse Management) is utilized as a storage facility, a materialu2019s actual bin location is of great importance
Advantage: Track a materialu2019s changing bin location
Warehouse Management has greater applications for use in a storage facility
Disadvantage: More complexity and usually requires more data entry
Hope this helps.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Difference between inbound delivery and Goods Receipt

Can any one explain difference between inbound delivery and goods Receipt??

Hi dear,
Inbound delivery is one confirmation used to indicate the expected goods receipts in advance, so that the related process partners like warehouse personnel , planning personnel can utilise this data for initiation of actions and planning. Also , we can make this confirmation relevant to Planning in the customisation, to enhance the performance.
In general , we need confirmations only as a kind of assurance/information , in absence of the goods.
But if the goods are received physically , obviously we do not need any confirmations , we would perform the goods receipt .
When working with Inbound delivery , the goods receipt is done with respect to specific inbound delivery( though not compulsary to do so) , so that the integration done in the system works to the advantage of the users.

Difference Between 4.7 and ECC 6.0 in case Of Travel mgmt.

Hi guys,
Please let me know what is the main difference between 4.7 and Ecc 6.0 in case of Travel management.
Thanks

Hi Pulla,
We use R/3 4.7 version for Travel Management (FI-TV) with fairly good features but the latest version ECC 6.0 which is Enterprise Central Component version 6.0 gives you the opportunity to use ESS/MSS ie, using portal to create the trips/claims as against interfaces.
Therefore one difference would be to get the work done easily by logging into a internet site and complete the trips/claims which in turn updates your database tables where as in 4.7 there is no such functionality to use portal to make an expense claim.
There might be other feature enhancements available in 6.0 which I am currently unaware of but surely SAP gurus in this forum will be able to provide more on that.
Hope the above provides more info.

Difference between SAP SLD and SAP Management console

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks
Shailik

Hi,
SAP SLD is the central information provider in a system landscape.this contains both Component information and Landscape description.COMPONENT Info in sense all the sap products and components along with their versions, And also third party products also.LANDSCAPE desc in sense the description of all the systems in particular landscape.
Example:This can shows exact idea for you.Components like CAF,Webdynpo(WD-java),BPM etc info.And the host names,Message server ports etc.Here we dont have start/stop functionality.
SAP MC provides a common framework for centralized system management. It allows you to monitor and perform basic administration tasks on the SAP system centrally, thus simplifying system administration. Using the SAP MC you can
1.Monitor and control (start, stop, or restart) the SAP system and its instances with a single tool
2.Monitor system alerts
3.Display the list of all access points to an SAP system etc.
We can see difference by looking into http://<host name>:<port>/index.html
Look and feel are also differ.
For more info you can go through these links of sap help.

EXACT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL LOAD AND REPAIRFULL LOAD?

HI Champ,
Can anyone explain me the exact difference between full load and Repairfull load?Give e some senario where we can go for this?Please.....
10zin

Hi,
Full repair can be said as a Full with selections. But the main use or advantage of Full repair load is that it wont affect delta loads in the system. If you load a full to a target with deltas running you again will have to initialize them for deltas to continue. But if you do full repair it wont affect deltas.
This is normally done we when we lose some data or there is data mismatch between source system and BW.
Check the OSS Note 739863 'Repairing data in BW' for all the details
Symptom
Some data is incorrect or missing in the PSA table or in the ODS object (Enterprise Data Warehouse layer).
There may be a number of reasons for this problem: Errors in the relevant application, errors in the user exit, errors in the DeltaQueue, handling errors in the customers posting procedure (for example, a change in the extract structure during production operation if the DeltaQueue was not yet empty; postings before the Delta Init was completed, and so on), extractor errors, unplanned system terminations in BW and in R/3, and so on.
Solution
Read this note in full BEFORE you start actions that may repair your data in BW. Contact SAP Support for help with troubleshooting before you start to repair data.
BW offers you the option of a full upload in the form of a repair request (as of BW 3.0B). If you want to use this function, we recommend that you use the ODS object layer.
Note that you should only use this procedure if you have a small number of incorrect or missing records. Otherwise, we always recommend a reinitialization (possibly after a previous selective deletion, followed by a restriction of the Delta-Init selection to exclude areas that were not changed in the meantime).
1. Repair request: Definition
If you flag a request as a repair request with full update as the update mode, it can be updated to all data targets, even if these already contain data from delta initialization runs for this DataSource/source system combination. This means that a repair request can be updated into all ODS objects at any time without a check being performed. The system supports loading by repair request into an ODS object without a check being performed for overlapping data or for the sequence of the requests. This action may therefore result in duplicate data and must thus be prepared very carefully.
The repair request (of the "Full Upload" type) can be loaded into the same ODS object in which the 'normal' delta requests run. You will find this request under the "Repair Request" option in the InfoPackage (Maintenance) menu.
2. Prerequisites for using the "Repair Request" function
2.1. Troubleshooting
Before you start the repair action, you should carry out a thorough analysis of the possible cause of the error to make sure that the error cannot recur when you execute the repair action. For example, if a key figure has already been updated incorrectly in the OLTP system, it will not change after a reload into BW. Use transaction RSA3 (Extractor Checker) in the source system for help with troubleshooting. Another possible source of the problem may be your user exit. To ensure that the user exit is correct, first load a user exit with a Probe-Full request into the PSA table and check whether the data is correct. If it is not correct: Search for the error in the exit user. If you do not find it, we recommend that you deactivate the user exit for testing purposes and request a new Full Upload. It If the data arrives correctly, it is highly probable that the error is indeed in the user exit.
We always recommend that you load the data into the PSA table in the first step and check the result there.
2.2. Analyze the effects on the downstream targets
Before you start the Repair request into the ODS object, make sure that the incorrect data records are selectively deleted from the ODS object. However, before you decide on selective deletion, you should read the Info Help for the "Selective Deletion" function, which you can access by pressing the extra button on the relevant dialog box. The activation queue and the ChangeLog remain unchanged during the selective deletion of the data from the ODS object, which means that the incorrect data is still in the change log afterwards. After the selective deletion, you therefore must not reconstruct the ODS object if it is reconstructed from the ChangeLog. (Reconstruction is usually from the PSA table but, if the data source is the ODS object itself, the ODS object is reconstructed from its ChangeLog). You MUST read the recommendations and warnings about this (press the "Info" button).
You MUST also take into account the fact that the delta for the downstream data targets is created from the changelog. If you perform selective deletion and then reload data into the deleted area, this may result in data inconsistencies in the downstream data targets.
If you only use MOVE and do not use ADD for updates in the ODS object, selective deletion may not be required in some cases (for example, if incorrect records only have to be changed, rather than deleted). In this case, the DataMart delta also remains intact.
2.3. Analysis of the selections
You must be very precise when you perform selective deletion: Some applications do not provide the option of selecting individual documents for the load process. Therefore, you must first ensure that you can load the same range of documents into BW as you would delete from the ODS object. This note provides some application-specific recommendations to help you "repair" the incorrect data records.
If you updated the data from the ODS object into the InfoCube, you can also delete it there using the "Selective deletion" function. However, if it is compressed at document level there and deletion is no longer possible, you must delete the InfoCube content and fill the data in the ODS object again after repair.
You can only perform this action after a thorough analysis of all effects of selective data deletion. We naturally recommend that you test this first in the test system.
The procedure generally applies for all SAP applications/extractors. The application determines the selections. For example, if you cannot use the document number for selection but you can select documents for an entire period, then you are forced to delete and then update documents for the entire period in the data target. Therefore, it is important to look first at the selections in the InfoPackage exactly before you delete data from the data target.
Some applications have additional special features:
Logistics cockpit: As preparation for the repair request, delete the SetUp table (if you have not already done so) and fill it selectively with concrete document numbers (or other possible groups of documents determined by the selection). Execute the Repair request.
Caution: You can currently use the transactions that fill SetUp tables with reconstruction data to select individual documents or entire ranges of documents (at present, it is not possible to select several individual documents if they are not numbered in sequence).
FI: The Repair request for the Full Upload is not required here. The following efficient alternatives are provided: In the FI area, you can select documents that must be reloaded into BW again, make a small change to them (for example, insert a period into the assignment text) and save them -> as a result, the document is placed in the delta queue again and the previously loaded document under the same number in the BW ODS object is overwritten. FI also has an option for sending the documents selectively from the OLTP system to the BW system using correction programs (see note 616331).
3. Repair request execution
How do you proceed if you want to load a repair request into the data target? Go to the maintenance screen of the InfoPackage (Scheduler), set the type of data upload to "Full", and select the "Scheduler" option in the menu -> Full Request Repair -> Flag request as repair request -> Confirm. Update the data into the PSA and then check that it is correct. If the data is correct, continue to update into the data targets."

HT1600 what's the difference between apple tv and apple tv2?

What is the difference between apple tv and apple tv 2?
How do I get videos on my Ipad to play on my Apple TV? I tried Airplay and only vocal comes over.

Thanks! Yea, I'm leaning that way and from everything I've read the 'biggest' benefit would be Airplay - and the 5:1 surround in my gameroom (or the 7:1 surround in my screening room). I don't stream movies - I'm more of a blu ray collector and watch movies that way - so in all probability I wouldn't use Apple TV in the screening room - but there are several other locations where it could be a nice addition.
I do watch some TV shows on my iPAD, and lots of music videos - so perhaps, with Airplay they'll look/sound even better if I push that content to one of the other big screens.
For the most part - whenever I wanted to watch something from my iPad on the big screen, I just connected it to my A/V receiver - pressed play, and enjoyed. Apple TV would now become that device that's connected to my A/V receiver, and the iPad more of a remote - uncabled.
Again - thanks for the reply; it's proven very helpful.
Cheers.
