Is APICS useful? What are my exit options after SAP ?

Hi,
I have completed my MBA and will be joining SAP as business process consultant in supply chain. As I will be doing SAP certifications in the company, I was thinking of doing APICS certifications (CPIM/CSCP), first I wanted to understand whether it would be a good idea to do the APICS certification i.e. would it actually have any value addition, second which one should I consider (CPIM or CSCP) and would be more helpful for me.
Also, is it that after joining SAP, I will be restricted to SAP related jobs, (i.e. ERP roles) or will I be able to switch to supply chain roles in Retail/FMCG sector and eventually move to strategy roles (management consulting). Though I know I would be learning implementation of SAP in multiple sector, I actually wanted to know my exit options.
I would be really glad if someone would help me better understand.
Thanks
Rohit

Not sure why you posted this in the iPhone forum but sorry you're having such a difficult time. With that being said, unfortunately, VZW isn't obligated to assist you in difficult financial times although it would be great if they did. As far as you wanting to get into a non-smart phone to lessen your bill...you will have to look into alternative ways to obtain one if you want to avoid paying full retail. Do you have any friends with Verizon? Check and see if any of them have an old phone that they don't use. Lower your plan to less minutes and actively monitor your usage. Save non-essential personal calls until after 9:00 pm on weekdays if you're calling non-verizon customers. Even without a house phone it is not difficult to get by on a 450 min plan without going over your minutes. My mother did it for 5 years and never once went over her minutes nor did she have a landline phone to use. Text when possible to avoid using minutes. If you stay with the Droid then try to find texting apps or widgets that can help eliminate the need for a text plan. You can also check into services like Skype that can allow you to make free calls to other users...some of your friends may gladly subscribe to those services so that you can communicate and use less plan minutes. You should also talk to VZW to see what lower plan options you have.

Regards,

Hi Pavan,
 Just to add some more valuable information.
Organisational master data : Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of various organizational structures.
Condition master data : In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP R/3 System requires that the master data has been stored in the system.
Material master data : In addition to sales and distribution, other departments of the company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views.
Document master data : The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP R/3 System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documents are structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.
Customer Master Data : or for that matter various business partners, we maintain data for them also called as the customer master data or vendor master data like that.
Thanks & Regards

What are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

hi
what are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

.APPEND structures AND CUSTOMIZING INCLUDES.
these are the two methods.. but customizing includes we, as a developers do not use.
generally we use .APPEND structures to modify standard tables.
note that we need an access key to modify atandard tables.
we can create an apend structure and add that structure to the standard table at the end.
note that .append structures should only be added only at the end.
that is the reason we use .append structures to modify standard tables.as we should not include a field in the middle and disturb the original order of the standard table fields as it may effect many objects depending on the standard table.
but Some standard tables for which there is a LONG datatype field can never be modified.
the reason is the LONG datatype field should always be there at the end and also .APPEND strutures should always be there at the end. there will be a conflict. so, some standard tables can not be appended.

There's currently no way to monitor a whole SAP system through gridcontrol. Of course you can monitor the underlying database.

What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?

Dear experts,
Please explain What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?
Regards
Adhi,

Hello Adhi
There is no limit to explore in MDG. As a functional consultant you are responsible for -
1. Defining scope of MDG
2. Set up governance process - Workflow
3. Configuration - MDG (Activate services - functions / role set up / Data modelling / process modelling / replication set up ) - You have to involve in each of these activities with technical. You can also do it on your own.
4. Testing - end to end testing and training
5. Cut over activities - data load etc
In these areas, you have to contribute 100% and work with entire team (tech) for set up.
As mention, you can explore a lot in MDG.

What Are Our Spreadsheet Options?

Hi,
I don't want to shell out for Excel and / or Office (I just got iWork, in fact). What are my options for spreadsheets on Mac OS X? I could easily make do with Gnumeric. I'd prefer to avoid OpenOffice earlier than 2.0. X11-based apps are OK, if not ideal. Are there other options (besides Excel and OOo) I'm overlooking? I'd probably want to be able to import at least basic Excel sheets, e.g. Other than that, I just have a variety of odd-job, one-off kinds of spreadsheet needs.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is that D'Oh!, á là Homer? I can relate…
Anyway, I found the latest pre-release of the Universal 2.0.2 (rc4, to be specific) and installed it. It's nice that X11 interactions (as in starting it for you) are handled, but I have a problem with all applications that run under X11—I get trapped there! The X11 stipple covers both of my monitors and -TAB is intercepted and does not allow you to switch to non-X11 applications. I can activate the screen saver by putting the mouse in the appropriate corner, and when I deactivate it, I can, for a brief moment, see the Mac desktop, but then the X11 desktop returns and no matter how quickly I click on the Mac windows, the X11 environment reappears.
So… How do you deal with this? Are there some X11 options (transparent / shared desktop, e.g.) that make it easier to use?
Separately, looking at this software (OOo) the lack of graphic refinement is quite stark and the applications look very crude by comparison! Now, I can live with this, but it really hits you how refined the Mac user interface has become over its two-plus decade life.
At the moment, I'm inclined to say that if X11 has to be part of the equation, then I'd really rather have Gnumerc!
Thanks.

What are best output options in DVDSP for playback on VGA Computer Screen?

I understand that DVDs were designed to be viewed on TV sets - not computer monitors with much higher resolution than a TV set.
However .... I'm curious what the best output options are within DVDSP3 for playback on a standard 19" VGA computer screen 1024x768 and not necessarily on a TV screen. Any ideas?
Will DVDSP3 address playback on a standard VGA computer screen any better than iDVD6? .... or are they both very much the same?
Here's my objective:
MiniDV>FCP HD >DVD SP3>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only (no TV involved).
or...
MiniDV>iMovie6>iDVD6>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only.
TIA

George - I'm not a web designer, so I'm probably not the best person to respond but here goes anyway (FWIW):
(anywhere from 10sec to 2min) for website visitors to play (but not download). There can be multiple audios per web page.
No problem. QuickTime. X-platform and you can set whether it's downloadable or not - but that's really moot, as anything on the web can be captured, especially with the 'analog loophole' such as WireTap or Audio Hi Jack.
I need a combination of buttons from very simple round (or square 20x20 pix) to a bar style with volume control, both with the option to change the color to fit my site.
Buttons are your business - nothing to do with playback functionality. They are usually just a link to a file - your site should be set up to play anything, by anything, that's clicked on… Flash, QT whatever
a player that runs from my site and not somebody else's.
So you're hosting? I'd hate to go down that path… what if your site takes off? What if it goes down?You'd never handle the bandwidth. IMO better to buy inexpensive (but competent) hosting for $10 or so per month and avoid the headaches, and expand the hosting service as and when required.
See here for example:
http://soundpropaganda.com/blog/loudness.html
I have QT files, not downloadable (well, supposedly) from text links (check the green "Here's" links). The link method (graphic, text, whatever) is your design, not part of the playback system.
