Labour-Machine Working hours has to be captured during billing

Dear experts,
I am a SD consultant and new to this Resource related Billing area, please advice me how far i have reached in mapping the business process
explaining the business process below:
A oil field service company , receives many calls from customers for services
This company has owns equipments and manpower. whenever customer calls for service, company sends a team of people with machine/equipments working in the oil rig and finish the job and return back. once the task is completed , company has to bill the customer. in billing, the company has to show to customer each resource had worked so and so hours ....
example:
1. Engineer 20 hours --per hour rate 5 USD = 100 USD
2. Team Lead 20 hrs -- per hour rate 10 USD = 200 USD
3. Helper       20 hrs ---per hour rate 2 USD = 40 USD
4. Equipment 20 hours --per hr rate 50 USD = 1000 USD
Materials Used BOM ----      -----------------------= 500 USD
                                                    Total       = 1840 USD
This process , I have mapped in contract based Resource related billing
The flow is :
Contract VA41
Project systemsCJ20N
Debit memo request DP91
Billing VF01
I have configured a DIP profile, this has assigned to item category
A service material (DIEN) has been created
A service contract is created and assigned a WBS element
Now PS side we have done some confirmation , and trying to create Debit memo request DP91 ,
ERROR - "NO EXPENDITURE ITEM FOUND"
Guys help me to find the solution for this issue ......or please let me know whether the proposed solution is correct

Reduced Working Hours

Gurus-
I have a German employee who will be working 3hrs a day and will have 3hrs short time(reduced working hours) to make up her schedule of 6hrs per day. In the Period Work Schedule how do I configure this?
Should I leave her at her current schedule of 30hrs and mark her part time or change her schedule to 15hrs?
All feedback is appreciated.
Donna

I think you could use IT0049... but in our case we did not...
The reason why we used Time Eval and IT2012 option was because of our specific requirement.
At my client, the employees worked extra hours and accrued Flextime. After accumulating sufficient flextime, they could use this flextime towards reduce working hours. We would capture the reduced hours in IT2012 and then use it to deplete the Flextime Quota.
I guess the business requirements drive how we implement these functionalities...
You can reach me for Time Eval queries...

I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine. It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride? It's been going for about 7 hours now.

I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine. It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride? It's been going for about 7 hours now

It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

In addition to Niel's comments, if you plan to use Time Machine to backup a Mac to the secondary drive.....that application needs a drive that has been specifically formattted for Mac. That would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
PCs can also read and write to the Mac formatted drive.

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

Capture travel time expenses and working hours spent on the service call

Hi Experts,
I have One Year AMC contract with my customer.Under AMC he called me for 10 times.I need to
Capture travel time expenses and working hours spent on all the service call, Non of them will be billed to the customer.
This is just for our internal tracking.this particular data will reside within the office premises.
Explain how efficiently we can track this particular requirement in SAP Business One
Regards,
Vikram

Hi Vikram
You will notice on the item master records that there is a field called Item Type. The options are Item, Labor and Travel. In order for the service module to recognize the expense or charge type, either Labor or Travel must be select. Create a service item (untick inventory item) and choose the Item Type as Labor or Travel. When you now create a Delivery/Invoice from the expenses section of the service call, it will identify and warn you if you charge the customer, as this would be defined in your service contract template as non billable charges. You can still create a Delivery for the charges and put quantities and values on the Delivery document. In this case you are not going to invoice the customer for the charges, so you can "Close" the Delivery. Just be aware that closing the Delivery will post the value to an offset account defined in the Account Determination.
The benefit of this approach is that the Delivery will post a debit and credit in your G/L that will "accrue" what the costs are of servicing the customer. My suggestion would be to set the account determination for the Labor/Travel item(s) to item level and define the Revenue/Expense accounts to specific G/L accounts.
Let me know if you need more information or assistance with the above.
Kind regards

Pooled capacity, machine work center can have labour?

Dear All,
1) We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
2) We have eg. 2 CNC machining work centers (Vert and Horiz) but we have labour support to do machine setup, labour related jobs etc. If we need to perform labour capacity planning in this machine-based work center, is this done by maintaining a separate work center for this labour support and assigned to the same Cost Center? Or for machine-based work center, labour capacity planning is not required?
Thank you for contributing.

Dear
We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
There is no differnce between pooled capacity and available caapcity .Only thing is you can utilised this capacity pool for various work centre level.
To do that , Goto - SPRO-Production -BAsic Data-Work center-Capacity Planning-Define Capacity categories -Create Capacity Categoery for common pool of welders , Create Capacity in CR11 and assing them into Work cetre Capaicty tab-Pooled Capacity Catogeries and maintian No of indivuial caapcity in Capacity Header -Standard Available caapcity-Indivual Capacity ( Total Number of welders with working timing , utilisation ) .
Quest2 : To address this issue , you can select Setup , Labour and Machine in Defalut tab of same Work centre with proper Standard Value Key .Now , as they are all part of the Production activity , so you can keep the same Cost Centre ( Production Cost Centre ) in the Work centre tab with Formula Key of Labour ,Machine and setup .Goto CR02-Default Tab and Costing tab .
Hope this is clear

I updated my phone to OS6. It worked fine for a few hours, has now turned it self of and cannot be turned on again. How to fix this?

Try resetting your iPhone ... but first, make sure it has a well charged battery!
Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

Yes Verizon has contacted me by phone. I never scheduled a call time nor did I call them. They also are not making it easy to contact them through email. I need to discuss a way to assure that my phone is never called again during work hours without a prearranged meeting. I will not speak on the phone nor use a live chat. I want email as I want this documented offical and no other means offeres me that assurance. I'd also like to discuss comensation for being harrassed with phone calls.

Well if you pay your bill the calls would not happen.
You need only tell them not to call you during working time.
The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act states you must tell them it is not convenient.
Now if marketing calls you can opt out at the Verizon web portal under your My Verizon account.
You will not get compensation for them to call you. Nice try.
However they could just shut your phone off and then you will call them.
Email is not an option.
Good Luck

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked. TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time. The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned. I have more than enough available backup storage space for it. Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup. It fails during different files each time.
I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem. It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine.
I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
I have system logs that I can share if helpful. The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
I've gotten this messsage a number of times:

That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk. I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive. Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

Something caused a disconnect. Can't tell from the log what it was.
I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old. It may be beginning to fail.
Contact the maker. See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard. If so, that might fix it.
If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

Time Machine working great but now want to back up an NTFS USB HD also

Got my Time Machine working well backing up my whole system onto a 1TB LaCie USB Hard drive formatted: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
However I regularly use a 500GB LaCie which is formatted NTFS (where all of my MP3s are located on for iTunes) and would like this to be included in the Time Machine Backups.
I installed NTFS-3G to make this data accessable and editable etc.
After a few hours of trying, I still cannot seem to get this drive to backup. I made sure it wasnt an exception in the Options Tab.
Anyone know what it is I am doing wrong?
Cheers
James

This is from CCC's Help section:
+Supported configurations+
HFS formatted partition or hard drive+
+Hard drives in Firewire, eSATA and USB enclosures including Firewire-based iPods*+
+CCC will not backup directly to optical media (e.g. CD-ROM or DVD-ROM)+
+CCC is supported only on machines that officially support Mac OS X Tiger (or higher)+
and:
+Mac OS X is installed on an HFS+ filesystem. The HFS+ filesystem defines many types of metadata that describe non-data attributes of your files. Creation date, access control lists, permissions and ownership, Finder flags, and extended attributes are among the various metadata types defined in the HFS+ standard. To adequately back up all of your files and their associated metadata, CCC requires that your backup volume is also formatted as HFS.
+Additionally, Macintoshes can only boot from hard drives partitioned with either the Apple Partition Map (APM) scheme (PowerPC- or Intel-based Macs) or the GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme (Intel-based Macs). The hard drive icons that you see in the Finder are volumes. The partition scheme of a hard drive describes how volumes are physically defined on the hard disk. Every hard drive has exactly one partition scheme and at least one volume. When you "partition" a hard drive, you simply create multiple volumes on that hard drive.+
+See the section of CCC's documentation labeled "Preparing a hard drive for use with Carbon Copy Cloner" (in the "General overview of the features of CCC" section) for step-by-step instructions for partitioning and formatting a new hard drive for use with CCC.+
I use it or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone; however, when I just want to copy certain files, I just use the drag 'n drop method - it just works.

Why won't time machine work? =[

So I wanted to show my buddy how time machine works. And so I downloaded a picture, titled it and backed up my computer (the picture was located on my desktop). I then proceeded to delete the picture. I went into finder to locate the file and it was not there, because I deleted it. So I opened up time machine and searched for the file with the name I titled it with. I could not find the file! Where did this file go? Did I do something wrong or is time machine still having glitches and problems?
Thanks in advance!

Edited: just realized something, are my hourly backups supposed to be larger then just backing up 1kb? Cause thats like all my computer backs up per hourly back up, or whenever I hit Backup Now!

It's virtually filled with bugs and, in my opinion, was no where near being ready to ship. Lowered my regard for Apple by a fair amount, not that they care.
If your serious about data backup/recovery I'd look elsewhere at the moment.
Bugs I noticed up until it became apparent that it was unusable.
1) Very difficult to install on certain configurations. I succeeded after switching one of my externals to USB and using the other external as my boot drive... less than ideal.
2) System is not able to understand what TM is doing. Tried to restore the iPhoto folder as an experiment. System reported 200+ terrabytes of information to be copied -- 10,000 hours to complete. lol In actuality 10 gigs of which it recovered approximately 2GB in much less time than 10,000 hours, I'd say around 3 minutes --- overall unsuccessful.
3) Corruption of the backup drive's file system to the point of being unmountable or fixable with Disk Utility. Others have recovered with disk warrior -- I just simply plugged it into a PC and reformatted the drive with NTFS then back to the Mac where it was again recognizable. This was the deal breaker.
At anyrate just a glance at these forums should indicate that it is not a good situation. Great idea, just not ready .. how it made it out the door is beyond me... indicating that marketing has superseded the import of at least semi-functional software .. not good.
I've recommended to all the folks I know that use OSX that haven't already upgraded to Leopard to wait... as one of the primary attractions is broken.

Arlington, MA degraded network performance during working hours

Anybody got any thoughts or any Verizon tech want to pick this one up.
Gone through the usual troubleshooting steps, and am getting a new router shipped out, but not likely to rectify the problem as over past several days service has degrarde during working hours.
Internet connectivity intermittently fails for a few seconds to a minute and restores. Everything remians good with the router and my wired connection.
Bandwidth is good 50/20, but service drops, frequently trhoughout the day.
Initial tech said there was a "signal" issue, and now everything has been "rebooted", but issue remained...until about 6.00pm and no drops since then. Issues starts at around 9.00am.

I would suggest searching this forum and the Xsanity Forum, because there are quite a few posts about the Public network showing up in Xsan Admin. You would need to verify a few things, which are described in these posts. But most of the time, the Public Address in Xsan Admin is normal behavior.
I was chasing that down for a very long time, before I was comfortable saying that it wasn't a major issue. It seems like a quick way of testing how you client machine is connecting to your MDC, is to disable to the Private Network on your Client Machine, Reboot and see if Xsan admin will find the MDC. (of course, this test assumes that the client machine is the one that Xsan Admin is run from). If it can't find the MDC then your Client is talking to the MDC on the Private Network like it is suppose to.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.
