Inventory and reports question

We are wanting to use the inventory and reports piece to help keep
track of
licensing. After doing an inventory the report shows every .exe and
every
version that was ever installed it seems. Some of the programs that
show up
are no longer installed or they have the executable but never ran it.
So we
look at it and say user x has this installed when they might not have
it
installed. Is there a way to JUST get what is actually installed? I
have
not used ART or Crystal reports, but I would think they would just
help
organize the information that Zen supplies, so I would think that ZEN
would
have to be able to differentiate between what is installed and what is
no
longer installed, not the report tools. Am I wrong? Will Crystal or
ART be
able to seperate this info, or is there anything else that will help
without having to use a totally different inventory program. Any input
is
appreciated.

We are having a similar problem. Often, even if the software has been
uninstalled, it still appears on the computer's inventory. Another
problem we have found is that the Zenworks inventory does not always report the version actually being run on the computer. For example,
we
were specifically trying to find out what versions of CorelDRAW we are
using, but we came up with multiple computers running CorelDRAW
version
1.0. Obviously we are not using version 1.0 on any of our computers,
but
no other copy of CorelDRAW was listed as being installed on those
computers. We're preparing to do a physical inventory of these
computers
to find out what's actually there, but do you have any suggestions for
remedying this problem from the remote side of things?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Software Inventory and Reporting Services Seems Broken..

Some basic info...
Server 2012, SQL 2012, SCCM 2012 R2. All products up to date. Enviornment has been running for about 2 weeks, with all the test clients being brought in a few days after server install.
I went to run the report "Computers with a specific product" two days and when I went to select my product, there were no values, as if the inventory process wasn't working. I verified in client settings and also saw that hardware inventory data
was coming back. I can run any of the hardware related reports and they have data.
I did add a couple inventory classes (Installed Executable & Installed Software) to see if that would help, but it did not. I've forced policy updates and run inventories again, still blank. Looking at InventoryAgent.log, it appears everything looks
good. I see the 4 software classes reporting back.
There is probably something simple that I'm missing, but I can't found out what that is.
Edit: Forgot to post the InventoryAgent.log file... http://pastebin.com/AkTWQurp

This goes back to the basic definitions of what the two different types of inventory actually do. Software Inventory is actually a file inventory and by default in 2012 collects *nothing*. To have it collect information about exe's, you would add *.exe (preferably
scoped to just C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (X86)) to the software inventory configuration. This enables ConfigMgr to gather data from the PE header of the exe files which in turn is used for the report you called out (and others listed as Software
Inventory).
The question though is do you truly want information about exes or do you actually want information about installed applications? Just because an exe exists does not mean an application is actually installed. That's where Add/Remove programs information
potentially comes in. Information in Add/Remove Programs is *not* collected by Software Inventory though -- as mentioned Soft Inv collect file information. ARP data is collected via WMI by Hardware Inv in ConfigMgr. To get this info, use one of the reports
that lists info from ARP. This is collected and is available by default.
ARP isn't the end all be all either and that's where Asset Intelligence comes in. AI is a layer of intelligence on top of Hardware Inv that collects additional details and adds reports that takes the raw ARP data and combines it with other evidence to give
you better information about "Installed Software". The AI reports are conveniently under the AI folder in the reports. AI is not however enabled by default so you must enable it.
Finally, even AI is not perfect because, as we all know users aren't actually the only bane of our existence but so are vendors who do non-standard things. That's where third-parties like BDNA come in come that provide even better interpretatin of the raw
data collected by ConfigMgr.

Forms and report questions

Hi,
I am facing 2 issues now related to forms and reports
I am using forms 10.1.2.3
We have an old form developed a few years back and it used to work with the old application server.
But when we migrated to vista, the application server port is changed and hence the URL
Now the first issue:
1)When running a report from the form (After giving some values in the form, a button is pressed to run the report), it is returning an error:
FRM-41213:Unable to conenct to the Report server "Myrepserver"
So in the assumption that the server name must have been hard-coded in the form, and hoping to change it to the new server name,
I checked the when-button-trigger code in the form, but now I am unable to figure out where (which part in the form) the server name is defined.
Need help in this one first:
The code in the when-button-trigger is as shown below:
DECLARE
     plid paramlist;
     the_param varchar2(15) := 'tmpdata';
     v_process varchar2(10);
BEGIN
     If (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('ROD_REP','RSLB_REP','GEO_IMP','LBL_IMP')
                   And :FILENAME4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Filename is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
Elsif (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('OPT_RUN','SDF_RUN')
                   And :DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Delivery Office Id is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
End If;
v_process := :RADIO_GROUP31;
     BEGIN
          plid := get_parameter_list(the_param);
     IF NOT id_null(plid) THEN
          destroy_parameter_list(plid);
     END IF;
     plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
     add_parameter(plid, 'delivery_office_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'filename', TEXT_PARAMETER,:FILENAME4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_opt_batch_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:OPT_BATCH_ID);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_sum_det', TEXT_PARAMETER,:SUM_DET_PB);
     add_parameter(plid, 'process', TEXT_PARAMETER,v_process);
     add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
     run_product(REPORTS,'approcrep.rdf',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid,null );
     END;
END; 2)I am using a Windows Vista machine and using Sun's plugin JRE5 update 16 in my machine to run the forms through my browser(IE7)
It works fine when connecting to my applicatioon server
For example,
http://the_app_server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=testapp
works fine
But when I try to run the form locally using the form builder:
I have defined in Edit->Preferences (Under runtime tab), the application server URL,like this:
http://<my local computer name>:8889/forms/frmservlet
When trying to run , it asks me to install Jinitiator
why is this?
I even tried installing it but when starting the applet, the IE crashes and closes.
With these conditions, how will I figure out why the report is not running?
I am not able to debug as well because I am unable to run the form.

hi gregor13, Thanks a lot for the second suggestion, it worked and I am able to run the form locally now
For the first suggestion, you are right, this is what caused the issue.
But I am still not able to do the report successfully..I am able to open the report but no data appears..
I have defined a parameter list called plid
In the original run_product built in, this parameter list was passed.
Please let me know how can I implement this using the web.show_document.
My code is below, which works except no parameter is passed.I need help in this one please.

QPLD Template and Report Question

I have learned that after creating a Query, I choose a Template (original or a user edited one) and create a Report. Then if I Click on the Report, I can now print or preview. To my surprise I also clicked on the Template and then Printed/Preview and I also obtained a result and this was unexpected. What is the Template running, is it the same as the Report? If yes, why do we need the Report?
I find the QPLD a bit confusing despite the training I have done. Any tips how to improve my understanding of this facility?
Thanks a lot
Robert

Hi Suda
This Question is a bit different from my previous points but it relates to my attempt to create a Label layout. so the position now is a s follows. Taken the various tips I have received, I was able to create a modified Template with my Address details in the Repetitive Area0 of the Template. I was surprised to see that I can print out all the records from the B/P table by clicking once on the Template and then go to print. This printed out correctly the Records but without taking into account the full Query.
Next I tried to print out the Report which was created on the basis of the correct template but this did not work and I am getting an INTERNAL ERROR message. I cannot see why and therefore i am trying to understand the difference between the two ways of printing.
I have noticed that in the Report Layout some fileds are Duplicated both in the repetitive Area0 and repetitive Area1. I also see that the Report Layout contains some added Fileds that contain the Query.
thanks
Robert

Windows Server 2003 - File/Directory Inventory and Reporting

Hi All,
My company would like to perform an inventory of all user files on all shares in order to perform a clean up rather than buying more disk space for those servers that are starting to run short. We're looking for something that could be run on each
server that would look at the following metadata/information:
Show UNC Path (optional)
Show Creation Date
Show Last Modified Date
Show Owner
Show who last modified
Show Size
Scan to see if the file is duplicated in another place in the filesystem
Again, the desire is to reduce storage space consumed in order to make more space available without simply going out and adding more storage. A commercial option isn't out of the question if there is no native tool sets available.
I understand that Windows Server 2008 actually has this native, but upgrading these servers to 2008 would also require hardware upgrades which aren't desired or practical at this time.
Thanks in advance,

UCCX Trigger Range and Reporting Question

Hello Everyone:
I are using a wildcard trigger so that instead of having 30 triggers to one application, I can just leverage that one trigger. That part is working great, however the issue is that when looking at reports we are only seeing the Wildcard Trigger and not the full extension. Specifically we are looking at the Abandoned Call Detail Activity Report. We want to pull out calls for each trigger as each trigger represents a different location. Is there a way to expose the "Original Called Number" field to get this data? That way the called number will be the range it hit, with the Original Called Number field being the specific location. I'm hoping there is a way to get this data, outside of developing a custom report. Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!
Sean

Sean,
You will need to create a custom report for this.

GL trial balance and All inventory value reports

Hi,
in oracle applications 11i the inventory super user claims that the results of the following two reports:
GL trial balance
and
All inventory value report
for the period MAY-09 DO NOT match.
How can i investigate this issue?

I haven't worked on PPAC but I assume its only a cost method to build the cost. Once costs are build GL entry happens in the same way.
You said that you first freeze the cost and then run subledger update report.
Once you freeze the cost, what cost do you see for product x?
Once you produce 20 TONS output; subledger update should generate entry as follows:
Cr WIP: cost*20
Dr INV: cost*20
Now you mentioned about title ALC (GL Allocation). I haven't seen that title.
Also at the period end we need to run revaluation of inventory for STND method, I am not sure if the same is required for PPAC. Try performing that in test instance to see accounting entries generated.
I am sorry if I confused you or didn't understand your question. I have used mostly worked with STND method and just trying to extend my experience with PPAC.

Inventory and Ontime delivery report

hi friends,
As per our client requirements they want to develope an Inventory and an Ontime delivery report in BO on top of Oracle database.
Situation is some thing like they have ECC 6.0.and they want to collect all inventory and ontime delivery data at one place.According to me that could be one Ztable in which we can gather all data.Apart from that they are going to use Data Integrator in which they can directly fetch the data from R/3 system(They dont want to have BI system) and put all data in Oracle DB.On top of ORacle BO person can develop BO reports.
My question is how to fetch all data at one place and what are the tables going to be use.
kindly help me out as its very important project.
Thanks
Abhishek
Edited by: abhishek.chaturvedi on Aug 6, 2010 11:46 AM

You can also use MC$6 or MC$K. The only requirement for these to work is to configure a grid (t-code MCFC).
MC$6 and MC$K will show how many PO's were received early, late and on-time per your parameters for early, late and on-time (as configured in MCFC).

Inventory Audit Report - Not followed FIFO and Batch management

I have created an Item say XYZ, with Batch management and valuation methode FIFO.
Then I have created a batch say 1 with posting of opening balance transaction with posting date as 1st April 2009.
Now when I post an A/R Invoice with posting date as 19th May 2009 in which I have selected above batch.
I have also posted some more purchase transaction for same item before 19th May 2009 that is the date of sales invoice.
Now when I see Inventory Audit Report, system has not picked up the cost column as per Batch selection in A/R Invoice, and also not as per FIFO, but it has followed the system date of transaction for deriving cost as per FIFO.
Can anybody throw light on this ?
BR
Samir Gandhi

Dear Samir Gandhi,
Irrespective of posting date you use for document posting, with FIFO Method system will arrange all the inventory posting in layers with First inventory posting will form the base for first inventory movement out and so on
Example:
1st Entry:(Opening Balances)
posting date : 01/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
2nd Entry: Purchase
posting date : 01/05/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
3rd Entry: Purchase
posting date :25/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
Layers created :
1.    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
2.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
3.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
4th Entry : Sales
Item : XYZ    quantity : 8
So here cost of goods sold will be : ( 5x100)+ ( 3x105) = 815
and it wont be ( 5x100)+ ( 3x90) =770 if that's what you are expecting

Inventory Audit Report and Inventory G/L Account discrepancy

Good Day!
Hi Everybody. I had experienced a discrepancy between the Inventory Audit Report and Inventory G/L Account.
Before everything else, our client does not have any PO, GRPO. Only A/P Invoice and A/P Credit Memos so there are no difference being posted.
There were also no transactions posted directly in Inventory G/L Account but from observation, there is a minor difference. This only happened with two transactions in AP Invoice with Negative Quantity.
The AP Invoice is composed of a single item, the unit price is 180.00 x -58 pcs quantity. Total amount is -10,440.00.
G/L Account posting is
Inventory 10,440.00
A/P 10,440.00
In the FIFO layering, the item cost is 200.00 (based on the current stock value) and the current stock quantity before posting is 80 pcs . Since this is a negative quantity A/P Invoice, it seems that the cost of the item when the transaction will be posted is 200 (based on the current stock value) so when I view the Inventory Audit Report amount, it says the inventory cost/posting is -11,600 (200 x -58).
But on actual G/L Account, the posting is -10,440.00 from A/P Invoice, that's why the inventory discrepancy occurs. It seems that SAP B1's Inventory Audit Report confuses the FIFO cost posted versus G/L Account's posted based on the document. Since the document is A/P Invoice, SAP B1 assumes that the transaction will post the amount as the additional inventory cost and posting the inventory cost into Inventory G/L Account. However, since this is a negative document, the system is releasing the items, thus, FIFO kicks in. The Inventory Audit Report catches the amount based on FIFO costing. The problem is that the Inventory Audit Report is more accurate than the Inventory G/L Balance.
Any suggestion to fix this guys?

All Inventories Value Report&Inventory Ageing Report& Current And as on Date Stock not matching

Hello All,
I am new to inventory. I need some help.
After opening the periods of purchasing and inventory for the month of April'15. The below reports should match in costing.
But they are not matching. Kindly help on this as its PROD.
Inventory Ageing Report
Current And as on Date Stock Statement With Value Report
All Inventories Value Report - Average Costing
Thanks
RR

MBEWH is the valuation history, this is only updated with the first movement after a period closure. And the period is a month.
There is no table in SAP that holds the stock information on daily basis.
You have to develope this yourself. Easiest method by copying a table like MBEW and MARD daily to a Z-Table.
A stock situation at a certain date can be calculated with MB5B.

Difference between G/L Balance and Inventory Audit Report

Hi All,
while checking the G/L ledger for Inventory account and the Inventory Audit report, there is a difference between the amounts posted. The closing balance till 31/03/09 is fine but afterwards the balance is not matchin at all. I hav tried to check between various posting dates but still there are differences. Any suggestions why there are differences and how should i check them??
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

The GL account and the Inventory audit report will not tie for a couple of reasons:
- You have posted directly (JE) to your Inventory account. These amount since they are NOT tied to a Item in a transaction will not appear in the Inventory audit report. The Inventory account(s) should be treated like a control account (enthough they
cannot be set as one in SAP B1) and should not be posted to directly outside of the Item Inventory Transaction (GRPO, AP Inv, AR INV, DN, AR CM, AP CM, etc...) I have alos seen these posting when GL determinations are setup incorretly or when users use the inventory account in Stock Posting (staock taking) transactions
- you have legacy issues resulting in audit report entries relating back to pre SP01 2005 days.
To get these details analyzed by SAP for free along with the recomended corrections please contact your partner for a free Inventory Verification analysis Your partner can take a copy of your DB backup and create a support message under SBO-MM-IVC and SAP support will analyse these differenes and show you the recommended changes.
hope this helps

Cisco Prime 4.2, Inventory group management and reports group

Hi
I have created some groups under Inventory > Group Management > Device. This works fine.
Then I want to create a monthly report for Reports > Performance > Device > Availability. Here I guessed I would find my groups created under inventory.
But I can se the groups, one group is duplicated, but all groups are empty. Under all devices, I can only see 6 og th devices but it should have been 122. Under the different subnet groups, there's no devices.
Should'nt I've seen the groups created under inventory when I want to make a report? Under the device list for quick report.
Br
Geir

Hm.... strange I've been looking around under Report, and looked at Inventory and Performance reports.
Inventory > Detailed Device shows all the devices and my groups.
Performance > Device > Availability show just 6 out of my 122 devices.
Under Inventory > Group Managment > Device I have a group called Datasenter.
Under Performance > Device > Availability I can see 2 of these groups, but their both empty.
When i delete this group, one of them dissapeer from Under performance. WHen I create it again, it comes back but empty.
Something must be corrupt.
