Changing from Periodic inventory system to SAP

Hi All,
I have an accounting questions regarding company that switching from Periodic Inventory system to SAP's perpetual inventory system.
For company that practices Periodic Inventory System, the method to calculate cost of goods sold = opening stock balances + purchases - closing stock balances. All these is reflected in the P&L statement.
When they switch to SAP, do they need to enter all these figures into SAP for the opening balances?
As SAP will not have opening balance stock, closing stock and purchases accounts, do they have to create these accounts in P&L just to take in the balances?
Does anyone have implemented for company that changing from periodic to perpetual inventory system? How do you take in the opening balances? if possible please give example, thanks in advance.
Regards,
MH

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. But what is the variance that you guys are talking about? Take example:
Old system:
Opening Stock balance = $ 5,000
+Purchases = $20,000
-Closing Stock balance = $ 9,000
Balance = $16,000
The amount that goes into Asset is Closing Balance $9,000 and the amount goes to P&L as COGS is $ 16,000? The rest for $20,000 and $ 5,000 can be ignore?
Thanks in advance if anyone can answer my question here.

Integrating OSM with CRM & Inventory system

Hi,
We are using OSM 7.0 in our solution, in which we need to integrate OSM with CRM and one inventory system.
We need to notify CRM at various stages during order fulfillment for e.g. after completing different milestones like Order submitted, Inventory Done and Order Completed. Among these notifications, Order Submitted notification would be a synchronous one and rest are the asynchronous notifications.
We are not using AIA for integration with CRM. How we can send notifications to CRM for the above stated scenarios?
Also, to integrate with Inventory system, we need to call a webservice exposed by that system. Could you please confirm if the below steps are correct to achieve the same or there is some other way?
1. Write Automation plug-in
2. Configure JMS queue on weblogic server
3. Post request message on JMS queue
4. Write JMS Client to get the message from the queue
5. Package the message in SOAP envelop and call the webservice API.
~RS

RS;
In our AIA cartridges, we make use of automated OSM notifications to send events to Siebel CRM via AIA. There are several different kinds of notifications available in OSM, the ones that we use in particular for this purpose are data-change notifications which is invoked whenever a field on the order has changed (you configure which field when you create the notification). The field that you would want to listen for changes on in your case would be the field in the OSM order that you are using to store milestone/status information. The notification plugin would then be invoked whenever this field changes and can then send a status update to your CRM system if the change is relevant.
As for your webservice integration question, first let me clarify - you are interested in invoking a web service via SOAP/HTTP instead of SOAP/JMS, is that correct?
Assuming so, your basic steps below are directionally correct, but I would offer a few additional points to consider.
Your automation plugin in step 1 would best (IMHO) be an XSLT or XQuery plugin vs. a custom java plugin. This will keep the scope of the business logic to the bare minimum of building up the SOAP message which of course XSLT and XQuery can handle with ease.
I would recommend the payload of the JMS that you create in step 3 be the entire soap:envelope, this way your client in step 4 doesn't have to parse and wrap the message. It just blindly forwards it on to the real SOAP/HTTP endpoint and waits for a response.
Your JMS client in step 4 would best be implemented by a message-driven-bean (MDB) which would be deployed to the OSM server instead of a standalone JMS client. MDB's are highly scalable JMS clients and really the way to go when you want to have some business logic be triggered based on the arrival of a JMS message.
You probably need to add steps 6 and 7 which would be to deal with the response message back to your automation plugin. This would involve the MDB getting the SOAP/HTTP response back, creating a JMS message and putting it on the response queue (which would need to be defined in step 2) and copying the JMSCorrelationID value from the request to the response JMS message to ensure it can find its way back to the task that sent it.
Now, all that being said, an alternative to all of this is to just have the automation plugin itself take care of posting the message to your SOAP/HTTP(s) endpoint. You could do this by writing a custom Java automation plugin that uses low level HTTP class libraries or uses standard WS client proxies to invoke the web service. There are pros and cons to this approach. The major pro being that it involves fewer moving pieces, the major con being that if your inventory service is not able to process requests as fast as OSM is making them (based on order volumes), then this may become a bottleneck in the OSM system. The bottlneck stems from the fact that OSM shares a pool of threads across all automation plugins. If you have one that is taking a very long time to process requests and the number of requests being processed concurrently is high, then this can lead to a situation where other automation plugins are starved. This won't result in an error, but it can result in a bottleneck which affects the overall performance of the system. This is really only a major concern if OSM is processing high volumes of orders and the inventory system is not able to keep pace.

Building an online inventory system using Oracle fusion

I am developing an online inventory system which is my college project and I don't know where to start
But I have collected materials and learned some about the inventory but I don't have knowledge about jsp/jsf or simply j2ee much. And I saw videos of the jDeveloper, Oracle ADF and many good stuffs
So can anyone guide through it, just a little
I am not asking to build the project. I just wanted some opening, where to start
And i have built a database in oracle .
And gone through some tutorials provided such as "Building Fusion Web Applications" available on cue cards.
I have understood the framework a little but i don't know where to start
Build UI or Business Components or else or a login page .
I have login details set to the database but i don't know how to implement in ADF Security.
Edited by: SudeepShakya on Oct 17, 2011 7:49 PM

Thanks a lot for ur information.
I have gone through the referred documents and also done an example about the ADF Security from Cue Cards.
But i want to know something about the Security about the adding Users.
How can we add, drop and edit users from within the Fusion application or a web application, as for now as in the example we create the users and roles by using the jDeveloper.
To be clear, like in any other webpages like in a mailing websites or any other.
As in my program, i want the function to add, edit and remove users through the application.
I also had written similar comment in Shay's blog and he directed some good thing but I couldn't get to the point.
Is there any example or tutorials for this ?

SNMP - Setting up inventory system to gather Apple equipment information

I'm working on setting up an inventory system to track our desktops, laptops, switches etc on our campus. I'm able to use WMI for the windows boxes and SNMP for the network devices. My main goal for the Apples is to use SNMP get the "system name" (done) and "serial number" (not done). For this, I know I'll need to enable SNMP on all the Macs and then I need a MIB/OID that helps me get to the the Serial number. At this point I've looked around as many places as I can and can't find a good MIB to help me get to that data. Assuming this data is there, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Can you provide a few more details about your plans?
Windows cannot backup using Time Machine, so you'll need to look for a Windows backup program if you want to back up files on the XP laptop. The backup program will assume that you are using a drive formatted for Windows though, which the Time Capsule is not.
It might be possible to store some files from the XP laptop on the Time Capsule, but life would be much, much easier if you added an inexpensive USB drive directly to the XP machine for your backups.
The Time Capsule drive is formatted for Mac and you can't even "partition" the drive without removing it from the Time Capsule (voiding the warranty).
When you get the new Mac laptop, you can start backing up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

Flash inventory system

Hello! New to the forums here :D
I've been programming for a while in AS 2, hate AS 3 too
complicated... and im currently making an RPG Zelda style game.
I've setup the boundaries, movement and such, but im stumped on how
to make an inventory system that can transfer to different frames.
Ex: if you pick up the burger in one frame, allow you to see it in
another frame that you picked it up and can use it. Since every
place is a different KeyFrame i have no clue how to transfer it
over. Could you guys help me out?
P.

A script in any prior frame is accessible in any frame after
that frame.

DataBase Design For Inventory Systems

Sir I am doing my Final Year B.sc(Comp.sci), I am having my Oracle Project to do things.
I just wan't a Detailed DataBase Design for
Inventory Systems
Please Could you help me in terms of DataBase Design......

The best way to approach a database design is to write a
specification for the application. Document what processes the help
desk technicians will do. In the process, identify what pieces of
information they work with. When you have the complete
specification written, you can then begin grouping the pieces of
information they work with together. For example, a ticket may have
a number, status, priority and a person to whom it is assigned. The
person to whom the ticket is assigned will have a name, phone
number, e-mail address and a list of technical skills.
So in this overly-simplified example, we could have a table
that contains ticket information, a table that has information
about technicians and a table of skills. Then ask your self
questions like "Can one ticket be handled by more than one
technician?" "Can one technician handle more than one ticket?" Can
a technician have more than one skill?" In this way, you can begin
seeing the one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships
that exist.

Did they change the inventory system to have it show real time counts now?

I ask because before it used to be that it took a store having THREE or more copies of a game or other item before they would show up as available via the website. Of course, if you looked something up using the kiosks IN store it would show most times even if it was less than three.
I just ask because I bought a copy of Deadpool for the PS3 on Sunday and it showed as IN stock even though they only seemed to have ONE copy. By the time I got home and double checked it showed '3-5 days' for in store pickup for that same game.
Just kind of curious since if they did improve the system this is a GREAT thing.

Hi CheapestGamer,
Great question about our inventory system! I always check and make sure the item I want is available before I go into the store so I don’t leave disappointed I didn’t get what that I wanted because it was sold out.
I know that we are continuously striving to improve our systems and make them better, faster, stronger. Just recently in fact, we rolled out a new register system to the stores full of numerous improvements and upgrades. With that said, I too have noticed the system updating more quickly, and have seen exactly what you described in your post.
Thanks for noticing our hard work, hopefully we can continue to impress!

Spiceworks Inventory System

GreetingsThe organization that I work for is looking for a simple (and inexpensive) inventory solution. The inventory we want to manage is the receiving of new computer stock (computers, laptops, monitors, etc). We basically need to keep on tabs on what we have in storage. Once the item gets deployed to a user, we have SCCM to manage that inventory, however we just want to keep track of items that are essentially still in a box. I am curious if the Spiceworks Inventory system could do this. Also, is there any smartphone application that would allow us to scan the barcodes of the items and import them into the Spiceworks inventory system? I would be interested in learning more on how the Spiceworks inventory system works. I have poked around the Spiceworks website, but haven’t been able to locate full detail on interworking’s of the...

Could SAP B1 handle " Periodic inventory System " ?

if SAP can handle Periodic inventory system, how to do this ?

Hi Jamesss,
Periodic inventory is a system of inventory in which updates are made on a periodic basis. This differs from perpetual inventory systems, where updates are made as seen fit. In Periodic Inventory System no effort is made to keep up-to-date records of either the inventory or the cost of goods sold. Instead, these amounts are determined only periodically-usually at the end of each year.
As the inventory records are not updated as transactions occur, there is no need of Inventory Subsidiary Ledger. The foundation of the periodic inventory system is the taking of a complete physical inventory at year-end. This physical count determines the amount of inventory appearing in the balance sheet. The cost of goods sold for the entire year then is determined by a Short Computation.

Hi Sameer,
Just copy below text and paste it in notepad.....
Perpetual vs. Periodic Inventory System Journal Entries
A. The Sale and Purchase of Products
Perpetual inventory systems show all changes in inventory in the "Inventory" account. Purchase accounts are not used in a perpetual inventory system.
Periodic inventory systems keep the inventory balance at the same value that it was at the beginning of the year. At year end, the inventory balance is adjusted to a physical count. To account for inventory purchases in a periodic inventory system, an account called "Purchases" is used rather than debiting "Inventory".
    Example: (Unit cost is held constant to avoid the necessity of a using
               a cost flow assumption)
                   Beginning inventory      100 units @ $6 = $ 600
                   Purchases                900 units @ $6 = $5,400
                   Sales                    600 units @ $12 = $7,200
                   Ending inventory         400 units @ $6 = $2,400
         Perpetual Inventory System       |    Periodic Inventory System
      1. Beginning inventory 100 units at $600
          Inventory account shows         | Inventory account shows
          $600 in inventory.              | $600 in inventory.
      2. Purchase of 900 units at $6 per unit
          Inventory            5,400      | Purchases           5,400
             Acc. Payable            5,400|     Acc. Payable           5,400
      3. Sale of 600 units at a selling price of $12 per unit
          Acc. Receivable      7,200      | Acc. Receivable     7,200
             Sales                   7,200|     Sales                  7,200
          Cost of Goods Sold   3,600
No entry
             Inventory               3,600
      4. End-of-period entry for inventory adjustment
          No entry needed.                | Inventory            1,800
          The ending balance of inventory |    Cost of Goods Sold 3,600
          shows $2,400.                   |    Purchases               5,400
      Note: The periodic inventory adjustment in transaction 4 adjusts
            inventory to the physical count, closes out any purchase accounts,
            and runs any difference through cost of goods sold.
B. Cost of Goods Sold in a Periodic Inventory System
Perpetual inventory systems record cost of goods sold and keep inventory at its current balance throughout the year. Therefore, there is no need to do a year-end inventory adjustment unless the perpetual records disagree with the inventory count. In addition, a separate cost of goods sold calculation is unnecessary since cost of goods sold is recorded whenever inventory is sold.
The inventory account in a periodic inventory system keeps its beginning balance until the end of period adjustment to the physical inventory count. Therefore, a separate cost of goods sold calculation is necessary. The following calculation shows the calculation for the preceding example.
                   Beginning Inventory                  600
                   Net Purchases                      5,400
                   Goods Available for Sale           6,000
                   Ending Inventory                   2,400
                   Cost of Goods Sold                 3,600
                                                     =======
C. Purchase Returns and Allowances and Purchase Discounts
"Purchases" has a normal debit balance since it replaces the debit to "Inventory". It has two contra accounts known as "Purchase Discounts" (Purch. Disc.) and "Purchase Returns and Allowances" (Purch. R&A) that reduce it to determine "Net Purchases". The balance of these two contra accounts is a credit because "Purchases" is a debit. Remember that contra accounts always have a normal balance that is opposite to what they are contra to. Purchase-type accounts are temporary accounts (i.e., they are closed at year end) and only appear in a periodic inventory system. They simply serve to replace the corresponding inventory portion of an entry that exists in a perpetual inventory system. The following entries illustrate purchase returns and discounts in perpetual and periodic inventory systems:
           Perpetual Inventory System    |    Periodic Inventory System
      1. Ace Company returned $600 of damaged merchandise and received a
          price reduction allowance of $100 on the portion of the merchandise
          they retained.
          Acc. Payable      700          |    Acc. Payable      700
             Inventory          700      |      Purch. R&A            700
      2. In a previous transaction, Ace purchased merchandise on account at
          a cost of $1,000. The credit terms were 2/10, n/30. Ace paid for
          the merchandise within the discount period.
          Acc. Payable    1,000          |    Acc. Payable    1,000
             Inventory              20   |       Purch. Disc.          20
             Cash                  980   |       Cash                 980
D. Sales Returns and Allowances and Sales Discounts
Sales has two contra accounts known as "Sales Discounts" (Sales Disc.) and "Sales Returns and Allowances" (Sales R&A) that reduce it. The normal balance for these two contra accounts is a debit. Sales and its contra accounts may appear with either a perpetual or periodic inventory system. The following entries illustrate the accounts in perpetual and periodic inventory systems. The entries assume the gross method.
           Perpetual Inventory System    |    Periodic Inventory System
      1. Sam Company received $600 of damaged merchandise from their customer
          Ace. They also gave Ace a $100 allowance for some of the damaged
          merchandise that Ace retained. The original cost of the merchandise
          returned to Sam was $400.

      2. Sam received a customer payment for a prior sale on account of $1,000
         subject to credit terms of 2/10, n/30. The customer made payment
         within the discount period.
          Cash                  980      |    Cash                980

Sales on the income statement should be shown net of its contra accounts. For example, if a company has $980,000 in sales, $3,400 in sales returns and allowances, and $2,200 in sales discounts; net sales would be $974,400.

you can always call InventoryManager.AVAILABILITY_STATUS_IN_STOCK to check whether the item is available in inventory , It is the business call if item not available how they want to handle this .
hope this helps

Need help with Inventory System

I am trying to throw together a semi-elegant inventory
viewing system for a web site I am creating. The current website is
going to be scrapped and remade relatively soon, so I really just
want a quick and dirty solution. As such, I have been using some
spry with xml datasets. I happened upon an article
here
that clued me in to a particularly interesting method of presenting
the data, so I am attempting a similar design, along with code from
spry samples (lots of cut-n-paste unfortunately, which is probably
a major reason why I have so many problems). Anyway, here is the
relevant info:
Right now I have folders for each category, with an xml file
for each size category. I arranged it this way, because I was
originally going to use straight html files for each size category
and in each folder, obviously not very practical. I played around
with the idea of putting all sizes into one file and letting some
spry+xml magic sort it out, but since I can't even get this to work
I haven't really tried it. If you experts would clue me in as to
which version might be more efficient or if you have any other
ideas please feel free to put me in my place.
Before I go any further, my main problem is the third line of
the first piece of code, I'm having trouble getting the dsStock xml
to load properly. The original example I cited above was using
Coldfusion, but I guesstimated that it wouldn't be a problem to
just load some straight xml files. Before I go any further I would
at least like to know if what I am attempting is possible.
Code to load in data for menus, category selection, and
actual inventory etc........
quote:
var dsCategories = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("diamond.xml",
"diamonds/diamond");
var dsSize = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("size.xml",
"sizes/size");
var dsStock = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("{dsCategories::@id}/{dsSize::name}.xml",
"inventory/product");
diamond.xml
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diamonds>
<diamond
id="AS"><name>Asscher</name><img>../img/diamond/thumb/asscher_diamond_chicago.jpg</img></ diamond>
<diamond
id="CU"><name>Cushion</name><img>../img/diamond/thumb/cushion_diamond_chicago.jpg</img></ diamond>
</diamonds>
size.xml
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sizes>
<size><name>0.70-0.99</name></size>
<size><name>1.00-1.49</name></size>
</sizes>
snip of some inventory
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<inventory>

id="B801-508"><shape>Asscher</shape><weight>0.7</weight><color>G</color>

</flo><polish>Very Good</polish>
<symmetry>Very

</product>
</inventory>
Here is the actual code in the site (this seems to work out
alright). I haven't rewritten the actual inventory portion yet,
since I can't really get it to load properly. If I can get the xml
I know that I can get it on the page.
quote:
<ul spry:region="dsCategories"
spry:repeatchildren="dsCategories">
<li class="product" spry:selectgroup="1"
spry:select="selected" spry:hover="hover"
spry:setrow="dsCategories">{dsCategories::name}</li>
</ul>
<ul spry:region="dsSize" spry:repeatchildren="dsSize">
<li class="product" spry:selectgroupd="2"
spry:select="selected" spry:hover="hover"
spry:setrow="dsSize">{dsSize::name}</li>
</ul>
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for taking the time to
give it a read and see if you can help me out. I will be eternally
grateful.

Hi StevenMig,
I'm not seeing anything obvious. Have you tried loading your
XML files directly to see if there are errors in the XML? Is your
server serving up XML files with a Content-Type of text/xml or
application/xml?
If you post a sample page, perhaps me or someone else on the
forum can take a look?
