Is Vertex an absolute requirement for US Payroll?

We are implementing Payroll for a small US County with around 1000 employees. Is implementation of Vertex an absolute requirement? Or is there some way to maintain the tax rates for the county from within Oracle Apps forms?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Yes. For US Payroll Implementation requires that Vertex/Quantum is installed.

Is Partitioning absolutely required for imac 333

I have an Imac 333 tray with a 6gb drive. Is partitioning required to run OSX and OS9?
Thanks

Partitioning is only required for that model if you install a hard drive larger than 8GB. Then you have to make an first partition for OSX that's just slightly under 8GB in size. OS9 and OSX can coexist in the same partition.
With a small boot partition, you will need to be very aware of space as you install software. In such cases, i have the installer apply the bare minimum of files. If you install all the printer drivers in 10.3, for example, you will have used up one gig of your drive space for printers you don't own. Avoid the foreign language support unless you need it.

System requirements for additional payroll cluster

Hi experts,
in our SAP HCM system we currently perform the monthly payroll run for our country divisions AT, DE and SK.
Now we want to implement the payroll run for an additional country division CZ in our system and before we start the project we want to check which additional system rescources this would mean - especially with respect to main memory and disk storage that is necessary for the monthly payroll cluster data.
Is there any sizing procedure we could run through to get an overview about the additional resources we would need?
How could I find out how many disk space or DB size is currently used by the payroll data for the already existing countrys?
When I know these values for SK maybe I could perform a forecast for a similar number of employees in CZ.
I hope that someone can give a hint where I could start my investigations to find out whether our system has enough performance for an additional monthly payroll run.
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards
Günter

Thanks for the comment but I am the basis.....
Anyone who knows an approach to get at least a rough estimate about the disk or DB resources this would cause?
I thougt there is something I can investigate but it seems I need to consult an external specialist.
Anyway - should anybody have an advice I would be happy.

Is a correlation ID absolut required for JMS communication?

Assume I have a BPEL which creates JMS messages and one or more BPEL processes which retrieve these messages from the JMS queue.
It is however not necessary that exactly one particular BPEL consuming instance should receive one particular JMS message.
All consuming BPEL instances can/are allowed to fetch JMS messages from queue and process them.
Is it necessary in such a scenario that correlation IDs/sets are declared?
Peter

Hi All,
This post has cleared a lot of doubts.It is quite helpful.
I have a few more
1) What is difference between a Oracle AQ and Oracle JMS based queue as we have different adapters for them.
2) Are there any advantages of one over the other or like what are the scenarios when one is preferred over the other.
Thanks in advance.

Requirement to make PAN number mandatory for processing payroll

I have a client requirement that payroll should be processed only for those persons for whom PAN number is available.One way to do this would be a custom report which could give a list of persons for whom the PAN number is not available & to lock the Payroll in IT 0003 for such persons whose PAN number is not anailable.
But is there any other way to configure the system so that the system will not run payroll automatically for persons whose PAN number is not available?
Useful answers will be rewarded.

Is ADS and PDF forms required for an upgrade to ECC 6.0 for US Payroll?

We're currently on SAP 4.7 for US Payroll, but are working on an upgrade to ECC 6.0. I'm looking for a clear answer to whether or not we have to move to Adobe Document Services and PDF forms with our upgrade. I've heard from several sources that SAP is not providing updates to SAPscript forms in ECC 6.0 and will only make updates to PDF based tax reporter forms going forward. Can anyone comfirm that is the case?

Questions on SETSPN syntax and what is required for MANUAL AD auth

I'll preface this by stating that I don't need to do all the extra stuff for Vintela SSO, SSO to database, etc. I just need to know precisely what is necessary to do to get AD authentication working. I managed to get it working in XIr2 previously but it's been so long and I'm not 100% sure that everything I wound up doing was absolutely necessary that I wanted to sort it out for good as we look at going to XI 3.1 SP3.
In the XI 3.1 SP3 admin guide, page 503, the SETSPN command which is
used as part of the setup process to establish a service account to
enable AD authentication is outlined as follows:
SETSPN.exe -A <ServiceClass>/<DomainName> <Serviceaccount>
The guide suggests that the <ServiceClass> can be anything you want to
arbitrarily assign. If I choose something other than the
suggested "BOBJCentralMS" value, is there anywhere else I have to
specify this value to allow the service account to function properly?
The guide suggests that the <DomainName> should be the domain name on
which the service account exists however I've seen many posts online which seem to
indicate this <DomainName> should actually be the FQDN of the server
running the CMS service instead of the general domain name.
Clarification there would be very helpful if anyone has some insight.

The CMS account can have an SPN of spaghetti/meatballs, there are no requirements (cept 2 characters on each side of the / I believe). The SPN created should be the value entered in the CMC > Authentication > Windows AD
The account must run the SIA and it therefore must have AD permissions. Now if you are using IIs or client tools you don't even need an SPN. The SPN is for kerberos only which is required for java app servers.
The vintela SSO white paper in the this forums sticky post explains the roles of a service account.

Tim

Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

Hello experts,
Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
Thanks in advance.

How do I know what is the minimum resource requirement for OLAP 11g?

How do I know for OLAP 11gR1 ...
1. what is the minimum number of CPUs and speed required
2. how much minimum physical memory, SGA, PGA etc. is required?
Regards, Anirban

Hello Anirban,
In summary, since the OLAP option is an option to Oracle Database 11g, Enterprise Edition the minimum requirements in order to run the database would be identical to those necessary to run a "Data Warehousing" type installation. That being said starting up a database is a far cry from actually performing well while accessing and building OLAP Cubes in your Database.
There are lots of things to consider. For example: the complexity of your model; data sparcity; level of aggregation; system load, SLAs, etc..
Lets look at true minimum requirements and then consider what it would take to achieve good performance in your environment
TRUE MINIMUM...
I performed a test in my environment (Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2.0) on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5) using Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.2.0A and found the following minimum settings to work against the OLAPTRAIN schema (You may find it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/olap/index.html). This is a very small schema which we use for demonstration purposes.
I discovered that the database started with a memory_target of only 160m (apparently this is the absolute minimum for my environment). I knew that if the database successfully started that I would be able to query the Cube but maintain it? Running queries against the OLAPTRAIN Sales Cube, despite being slow, worked as anticipated. Next, I performed a maintain operation on the Sales Cube where I had to abort the job because it ran into memory issues at 160m, however, when I increased it to only 180m it did a complete maintain in a reasonable timeframe, albeit slow considering the limited resources.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE REASONABLE PERFORMANCE IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Most importantly ensure you have a good cube design
Run a sample set of your data in order to define what "reasonable performance" is for your environment. Create a small representative cube in order to test both build and query performance while collecting and analyzing database statistics through AWR and ADDM. For OLAP option specific queries please take a look at http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OLAP+option+-DBASample+Scripts.
You could creat a view on top of your fact table and use the view to generate your OLAP Cube. This will allow you to test a more manageable amount of data. For example, if you have 10 years of data and want to determine the footprint and resources required in order to manage a Cube of this volume then consider scoping it down to a few months first then increase it by a measured amount in order to predict requirements. Monitor your resources and ensure you balance I/O, memory and processors. Since the OLAP option is a Enterprise Edition option it falls under Data Warehousing. As such there is plenty of literature available on oracle.com in order to define what it takes to achieve a balanced Data Warehouse.
I would recommend contacting Oracle Consulting or an Oracle Partner to determine the best fit for your environment.

How many revolutions of data are required for order analysis?

Hello,
I have a requirement to collect, process, and save data for several hours at a user specified sampling interval. I suspect that I will need to use the speed of the motor to determine how many revolutions of data I am collecting.
Is there a minimum number of revolutions of data required for order analysis?
Thanks,
Chris

HI Chris,
Thank you for posting on the National Instruments forum. To determine how many revolutions of data that you are collecting, you will need to use the tachometer signal that is coming off of your motor and is defined as pulses per revolutions. With this, the absolute minimum that you need is two pulses to figure out how fast your motor is spinning. With only two pulses, however, it will be very hard to determine the order information.
I think this KB will help you in figuring out what Window Length you need when doing order analysis.

Hi Blaise,
Thanks for the reply. The schema I was trying to import was huge and it has come to my attnetion that it has been broken down into a set of more managable schemas. Now I'm getting a different error trying to import those smaller schemas, as follows:
(Error) Can not build schema 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' located at 'file:/C:/Temp/Pliq XML Schemas/FromJim/xml-ns.xsd'
I copied the xml-ns.xsd file to the directory that contains the schema I'm trying to import, but that made no difference. I also tried changing the schema to use an absolute path to xml-ns.xsd, but no luck with that either. Any thoughts???
Thanks, Greg

Steps required for cin configuration

hi,
can anybody give me the steps required for cin configuration.

Hi,
CIN Setting:
Check Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
Standard settings
Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
Note
In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
Recommendation
If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)
Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
Example
Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
· Pricing in sales and distribution
· Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
· Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
· Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
· Account determination
· Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
· Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
· Pricing for resource planning
Definition: condition type
Controlling (CO)
A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
· Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
· Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
Real Estate Management (RE)
An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
Condition types include:
· Basic rent
· Advance payment for operating costs
· Pest control
Sales and Distribution (SD)
A characteristic of a condition.
For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Treasury (TR)
A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
Return ->
Definition: condition_type
Condition type
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Access sequence
With the access sequence you define
· the condition tables used to access the condition records
· the sequence of the condition tables
· which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
Requirements
Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
Activities
1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
· Tax type
Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
· Nondeductibility of tax amounts
For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
· Posting indicator
Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
· Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
Standard settings
Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
Recommendation
Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
Note
You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.
Internal processing key
The internal processing keys are used by the system to determine accounts or posting keys for line items which are created automatically.
The processing keys are defined in the system and cannot be changed by the user.
Definition: posting key
Financial Accounting (FI)
A two-digit numerical key that determines the way line items are posted.
This key determines several factors including the:
· Account type
· Type of posting (debit or credit)
· Layout of entry screens
Return ->
Definition: posting_key
Maintain Excise Registrations
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your excise registrations.
Activities
Enter each of your excise registrations, specifying a four-character code for each.
Definition: excise registration
Financial Accounting (FI)
An entity in India that is entitled by law to produce any goods liable to excise.
Each entity is assigned its own excise registration number.
Every factory that manufactures excisable goods is required to register separately, so that a business with seven factories requires seven registrations.

Maintain Company Code Settings
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your company codes.
Maintain Plant Settings
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
Maintain Excise Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
Definition: excise group
Financial Accounting (FI)
A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
Return ->
Definition: excise group
Maintain Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
· Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
· Assign series group to excise registration ID
· If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
· If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
Maintain Postal Addresses
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
Definition: ARE-1 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that companies have to fill out when they remove excisable goods from their manufacturing plants for export.
The form exempts them from paying excise duty when they remove the goods from their premises.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-1 document
Definition: ARE-3 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-3 document
Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
Sub Transaction Type
Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
Subcontracting:
It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Excise removals
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
Select Tax Calculation Procedure
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
· If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
· If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Maintain Excise Defaults
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
Activities
If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
· Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
· Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
· Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.
· Specify the countervailing duty condition type used for import purchase orders.

In this IMG activity, assign the tax code for purchasing documents to the company codes where it will be used.
Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
See also
SAP Library -> Logistics -> Country Versions -> Asia-Pacific -> India -> Materials Management (MM) -> Condition-Based Excise Determination
Classify Condition Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
· For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
· For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
Standard settings
The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
Use these settings as a basis for your own.
Maintain Chapter IDs
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the chapter IDs and the corresponding descriptions as per the schedules published by the Central Board of Excise and Customs.

Definition: user_master_record
Define Form Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which form types you want to record in the system. You can only use form tracking for the form types that you enter here.
Example
· Form type: CT3
· Form description: Concessional tax form
· Status: Receive
Define G/L Accounts for Taxes
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which G/L accounts you will use to record which taxes.
Requirements
You have set up G/L accounts for each of the processing keys listed below.
Activities
Assign an account to each of the following posting keys. The accounts for VS1, VS2, and VS3 are used as clearing accounts during excise invoice verification.
· VS1 (basic excise duty)
· VS2 (additional excise duty)
· VS3 (special excise duty)
· VS5 (sales tax setoff)
· MWS (central sales tax)
· MW3 (local sales tax)

Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
· Excise group
· Company code
· Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
· Defined the G/L accounts
· Defined the excise groups
· Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Define Processing Modes Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
Standard settings
The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
· J1IEX_C
This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
· J1IEX_P
This transaction is for excise supervisors: they can change, display, cancel, and post excise invoices.
· J1IEX
In this transaction, users can capture and post excise invoices, as well as displaying, changing, and canceling them.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, do not do anything.
Otherwise, you can adjust the standard settings or you can create your own transactions. To do so:
1. In Maintain Transaction, create a new transaction by making a copy of one of the standard transactions. Give the new transaction a transaction code of your choice.
2. In this activity, enter data as follows:
o Tcode: The transaction code that you have just created.
o Proc. mode: Specify what the users of the transaction will do with the excise invoices.
o Active: Select this indicator to activate the setting.
Example
You might want to create a transaction that only allows users to display excise invoices.
Define Reference Documents Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify for each combination of transaction and processing mode which reference documents you want the users to be able to use.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, you do not have to do anything.
Otherwise, add the entries that you need to the table: For each transaction, make one entry per combination of processing mode and reference document. Activate each entry for it to work.
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Logistics - General (LO)
A document, in India, that you refer to when you enter an incoming excise invoice.
If you have already posted the goods receipt, you can use the goods receipt document as the reference document. Otherwise, you can use the purchase order (or another purchasing document, such as a be a contract or a scheduling agreement).
Example
In the SAP System, you create a purchase order for 100 bags of sand and send the order to your vendor. Two weeks later, the vendor delivers the sand, accompanied by an excise invoice.
When you enter the excise invoice in the system, you specify the number of the original purchase order: this is the reference document.
Return ->
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Maintain Rejection Codes
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
Activities
For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise InvoicesUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
Note
This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
Activities
This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
Use
The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
Requirements
Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For the movement type 541, maintain the field Purchase Order as an optional entry or as a required entry.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Maintain OutputTypes.
Maintain the output type. On the Default Values tab, maintain the dispatch time and the transmission medium. Maintain the print parameter on the Print tab. This output type has to be maintained in this activity here.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Assign Forms andPrograms.
Maintain the Program, FORM routine, and the form for the output type.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Printer Determination -> Printer Determination by Plant / Storage Location.
Enter the output device that you use.
Settings -> Maintain Excise Groups, and selecting Create EI (Create Excise Invoice Automatically).
Maintain Movement Type Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you group movement types together to form movement type groups.
Definition: movement type
Inventory Management (MM-IM)
A classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
Return ->
Definition: movement type
Utilization Determination
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
You can either:
· Debit all the excise duty to one account
· Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
Example
If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc.
RG 23A BED account 50
RG 23C BED account 50
Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc. +
RG 23A BED account X
RG 23C BED account X
When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
Use
In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
Activities
Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.
Specify SAPscript Forms
Use
In this IMG activity, for each of your company codes, you specify which SAPscript forms the system prints the excise registers with.
Standard settings
Country Version India includes a number of sample SAPscript forms and printing programs, which you can use as follows:
Reg. name Lay. no. Form Tcode/Prog
RG 23A Part I 1 J_2IRG23A_PART1 J_2IRAP1
RG 23C Part I 1 J_2IRG23C_PART1 J_2IRCP1
RG 23A Part II 1 J_2IRG23A_PART2 J_2IRAP2
RG 23C Part II 1 J_2IRG23C_PART2 J_2IRCP2
PLA 1 J_2I_PLA J_2IPLA
RG 23 D 1 J_2I_RG23D J_2IRG23
RG 1 1 J_2I_RG1 J_2IRRG1

RT 12 1 J_2I_RT12_ABSTRA J_2IRT12
RT 12 1 J_2I_RT12_3 J_2IRT12
The layout description can be left blank or an appropriate description maybe filled in. You may not change the register name. You can have your own layouts and maintain the name here. If the output device and number of copies are maintained it is automatically picked up for printing.

Sales Requirement for an FMCG Industry

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement for Cross Selling at my client. I have seen several posts in SDN but I have not found the exact solution for my requirement. Kindly suggest as per my requirement.
The requirement is as follows:
My client sells Materials A, B and C. All these 3 materials are individual finished goods that can be sold independantly. Now there is a scheme in the company that if a person purchases 10 quantity of material A, then 2quantities of material B and 1 Quantity of material C also goes freely along with material A. and if he purchases 20quantity of material A then 5Quantity of material B and 3 Quantity of material C is given freely along with material A in the sales order. This is the requirement.
For this I have tried to use Cross-Selling Concept. I was able to configure for cross selling and made the item category as not relevant for pricing. The most important criterion is that the client wants the quantity to come automatically in the sales order. They dont want to enter the free materials quantity manually. So can you kindly suggest me on how to configure this.
Then there is a second requirement. The Base price of Material A has to go to the revenue G/L account while the Base Price of the Free material should go to a different G/L called Schemes Base price G/L. The 100% discount I give on the free material will go to the Business promotion G/L. I can use a separate document type if it was only scheme sales exclusively. But here it is a combination of scheme sales plus ordinary sales. Kindly suggest me on this too.

In our Tea industries, we produce finished tea and frequently we send finished tea as gift to our honorable guest and delegates.
In this scenario how can I deliver the finished tea to our delegates as a gift (we don't want to create any FOC order).
hi,
for issues like this bonus buy is the correct procedure:
Step by step procedure for configuring Bonus Buy:
Follow the condition technique for this:
1. Maintain the condition table.
2. Maintain access sequence and assign the condition table to the access sequence.
3. Maintain the condition type and assign the access sequence to the condition type.
4. Maintain pricing schema - this is nothing but the procedure for bonus buy.
5. Activation of bonus buy determination - as per sales area, DPP and CPP. Same like pricing procedure.
6. Maintain the condition record for bonus buy.
If you go transaction VBK1 you can create Bonus Buy based on the below mentioned std discount types.
BB01 - Bonus Buy :Price
BB02 - Bonus Buy : Absolute Discount
BB03 - Bonus Buy : % Discount
BB04 - Bonus Buy : Free Goods
i think it will solve your issue.
