Lync with Standard CAL only.

Hi all,
I'm looking at the best design for Lync if all users are going to be using Standard CAL's only. As functionality is far more basic is there any point to having an Edge Server and external DNS records etc?
The functionality seems limited to PC to PC so simply using VPN's for remote workers would appear to be an option. Are there any functions that would be lost using this design?
Thanks

Hi,
Depending on your thoughts for federation (both other Lync organizations as well as Skype or XMPP) there shouldn't be any reason to deploy Edge. Deploying Edge will enable you to shift to Enterprise CAL's and thereby have the online meeting capability (including
externals) rather swiftly.
That being said, federation is providing great value for many organizations and I would definitively recommend it.
As per the pc-pc voice, you may find that running voice over VPN may not prove the best results, however don't forget the headsets in this case, they are equally important. Pc-pc voice may not become greatly used if you don't supply the users with some
decent headsets.
You might end up looking at it from a financial perspective, and add your own thoughts on how widely used Lync will be come and how fast. That should be the major consideration in regards to the Edge server
Any plans on expanding the feature base of Lync soon ?, otherwise Lync Online might be an option, it might end up being cheaper and give you the online meeting / Federation capabilities at the lowest price.
Hope this helps ?

  • Lync standard 2013 deployment with standard SQL 2008/2012

    Hi 
    I have been looking into the requirements and of setup Lync 2013 and I'm getting a little confused at to what would be required for SQL databases and what servers they need to be located on. 
    we have two sites siteA and siteB and a fast link between them 1g 
    I want to have two FE lync servers at site A in a pool 
    I want to have two FE Lync servers at site B in a pool
    want to have the DR capabilities that have been mentioned in pool pairing as well can this be done with standard only 
    Do I require SQL for these Front end servers? or do I just need two BE servers at each location each with SQL standard installed?
    To start with we really only want to use lync for IM and Presence but will require access from Iphones will this require a edge server in the DMZ? or could you use TMG? 
    what other roles will be required if we need to look at conversation that occurred in IM for auditing purposes. 
    I have looked on Technet and it only really refers to using SQL express  for standard, which to me historically is something I have not done since it has been looked upon as free and therefore maybe not seen as an medium enterprise solution. 
    thanks in advanced

    If you're using Standard edition servers, meaning you'd have 1 server per pool and you'd pair between the sites, no SQL licensing is required unless you want it for monitoring or persistent chat databases.
    If you want to have multiple servers in a pool for high availability (you mentioned 2 per pool, you want a minimum of 3 per pool), you'll need a Lync Enterprise pool with a full SQL backend.
    You can pool pair with both Standard and Enterprise.
    You don't require SQL for the front ends in either scenario, as SQL Express will be installed.  For the Enterprise edition pool you'll need at least one SQL Standard instance, but a second for high availability using mirroring would be nice.  You'll
    want a third SQL server acting as a witness to allow for automatic failover within the mirror, but this can be SQL express and doesn't require a license. 
    For access from an iPhone, using the Lync mobility client, you'll need an edge for A/V traffic and a TMG or other reverse proxy such as IIS ARR or WAP to publish the web services on the front end pool to the Internet. 
    Since this is Lync 2013, you don't need an additional role for auditing, auditing can be collocated on the front end server and write to the same SQL instance you're using for the front end pool.  You could also choose to keep the data in Exchange if
    you're running at least Exchange 2013.
    SQL express is the only thing you can use for Lync standard back end, but this isn't awful.  It does the job for Lync.  If you prefer a full SQL instance, then Enterprise is the way to go, and if you want HA with multiple servers in a pool, this
    is your only option.  Lync will install SQL Express on each server regardless for local copies of the management store databases and presence information, but the primary copies will be in the full SQL back end instances.

  • Need a clear answer on how to enforce Standard CALs usage.

    I found a few related threads and Blog post but no clear answer.
    Most of my users will have a standard CAL and I need to lock them down so they can only use those features.
    I need a clear and concise way to do this and it looks like MS is unwilling to provide the answer.
    Most of the information that I have found covers Lync 2010 and not 2013.
    Here is the test policy I created but the CAL comparison charts I have seen it clearly state that PC to PC voice and video are allowed in the standard CAL. This policy as recommended by a MS rep disables that.
    This is very confusing and in desperate need of Clarity.

    PC-to-PC computer audio/video call is allowed when you enable Lync users.
    They are not controlled by controlled by conferencing policy.
    And there is no policy to restrict these basic features.
    The parameter AllowIPAudio and AllowIPVideo indicate whether a meeting can have audio and video.
    Peer-to-peer audio and video call are not the same with the audio/video in a meeting.

  • Certificate Requirement for Lync 2013 Standard Edition

    I have successfully run the setup of lync 2013 standard edition now I am stuck due to certificates required for lync 2013. when I generate a csr. it show the subjected urls for that.
    hostname.domain.com
    sip.domain.com
    diali.domain.com
    meet.domain.com
    admin.domain.com
    lyncdiscover.domain.com
    lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
    im.domain.com (External URL)
    so if I go for 3 party CA then I need 8 certicate only for internal lync. As I also need to connected federated partner and external user so I need Edge for again I need 3 more certificates
    web.domain.com
    a/v.domain.com
    sip.domain.com
    now when I go for these certificate it quit costly and I didn't understand why such certifcates required. can anyone help me to fix such requirement.
    Or, what are the necessary url to which I buy 3 party CA rest leave as it is.
    I also want to deploy Edge with single adopter as we have only one network so can anyone assist me to proceed it further.
    Talha Faraz Malik

    To save on the cost of your third party certificates, I would deploy an internal certificate authority to sign certificates for your internal front end.   For your third party certificate, you would only need the SANs for the edge and for your
    reverse proxy and as Edwin said, this can be a single cert with multiple SANs.
    For example, for your edge you would need:
    sip.domain.com
    web.domain.com
    You would not need A/V as this role does not require a SAN on your certificate.  On the same certificate, which you could also use on your reverse proxy, you'd likely want the following FQDNs.
    lyncdiscover.domain.com
    im.domain.com (your external web services FQDN)
    meet.domain.com
    dialin.domain.com
    You may also want to consider your internal web services FQDN and include the following so third party mobile devices can connect without needing a certificate installed:
    im_internal.domain.com (your internal web services FQDN)
    lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com
    I'm sure that's not entirely clear yet, so feel free to ask more questions or what the purpose of each is. 
    When you say Edge with a single adapter, you mean a single adapter in a DMZ or internal?  You definably want two NICS, both in separate DMZs, but I've managed to get the edge working with a single adapter in a DMZ before.  What you don't want is
    the edge in your internal network.

  • Lync 2013 standard edition server disadvantages

    I have 3000 users, client is so cost effective , wanna insisting on Lync 2013 standard edition server. no enterprise voice
    Feature required :- IM.presence, A/V conf, persistence chat, external access.
    planned servers :- 1 Standard server in DC, 1 in DR.  1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR
    1. if i make a pool of standard servers, then will it serve as HA, if yes how much time wil take for failover and what would be the impact on users?
    2. If complete DC is down how mch time would take for fail-over and what is the procedure, impact on users?
    3. can i collocate persistence chat role on standard edition? any limitation? how backend sizing would be for persistence chat as sql express would be there
    4. can i suggest any better solution with standard servers where HA in DC .

    For 3000 users Standard Edition will be fine. Use the capacity planner to size out your environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828
    1. It won't really serve as HA, as pool pairing is the only option it's more of a DR solution. The RTO for a pool failover is 30mins. So it could take anywhere up to 30mins. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205079.aspx
    2. Same as above. Here is how you failover http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204678.aspx 
    3. Yes, you can co-locate Persistent Chat on the Front End with Standard Edition. If sized correctly, there should be no performance issues.
    4. The only option with Standard is Pool Pairing, so no better suggestions.

  • Lync 2013 standard server for 3000

    Planning to deploy Lync 2013 standard server for 3000 users, IM/presence, Audio/video, persistence chat, monitoring/archive. external access required so 1 edge server in DC and 1 in DR. No enterprise voice. DC and DR are corrected with dark fiber
    one lync 2013 standard server in DC and 1 in DR. 1 edge server in DC and  1 Edge server in D R.have couple of queries. 
    1. can i get HA while doing server pairing in DC and DR?
    2. how much time will it take for frontend failover if my frontend server is down in DC.
    3. how much time will take for external access failover in DC and DR?
    4. are there any potential risks if using standard version instead of enterprise? 
    Basically client  need cost effective solution  as lync is not critical for him, does not want to use 3 FE servers in DC and 3 FE in DR to achive HA.  want to achieve the solution with standard servers.

    1) HA typically refers to automatic failover, so not with Standard edition, but you can get manual failover with this with nearly full functionality.
    2) Again, this is manual, but once invoked less than 20 minutes I'd think, possibly faster, only testing invoke-failover will tell you for sure but it won't be too bad.
    3) This involves a topology change to change the federation route, possibly next hop for the edge, and possibly media path for a front end pool.  That can be completed and replicated in under a minute.  You may want to point your external simple
    URLs and such (lyncdiscover) at the remaining server, this may be a DNS change to point to a separate reverse proxy.  Your _sipfederationtls._tcp SRV record can have a lower matching partner as well, but I typically prefer to keep low TTLs on the external
    DNS records so they can be changed quickly.
    4) Sure, no automatic failover, your scalability is limited without building out new pools later, no SQL backend that can be mirrored for a bit more resiliency.  But again, you can manually failover without issue, you just have to be able to tolerate
    a short outage.
    Technically, you'd only need 1 FE in the DR site.  You have to match Ent/Ent or Std/Std in a pool pair, but the number of servers don't need to match.  Still, the HLB and SQL requirements can be costly so I understand this.

  • Lync 2013 standard number of Backends required and pool paring setup?

    Hi
    I am in the process of putting together a lync 2013 implementation. The plan is to use lync 2013 standard as IM and Presence are the only requirement we have approx. 3000 users
    we have two sites
    Site A (Primary)
    x 2 FE-A1 FE-A2 Lync 2013
    x1 BE-A1 Lync 2013
    Site B (D.R)
    X 2 FE-B1 FE-B2 Lync 2013
    X1 BE-B1 Lync 2013
    what I want to know is
    1. If Site A has two FE servers each will require there own pool if I pair FE-A1 with FE-A2 can I also pair FE-A1 with FE-B1 and the same for 2?
    2. Can the servers FE-A1 and FE-A2 use the same BE server or should I be using a separate server for each?
    3. In this design I was thinking of using two edge servers 1 at each site that would be published using TMG, would this be correct, this would be for IPhone mobile users to use.
    thanks in advance
    J

    1)  If site A has to FE servers, and you go with Standard edition, they would be their own pools.  If you wanted HA you could put three enterprise servers together into a single pool and load balance them.  If you pair FE-A1 with FE-A2, those
    two pools cannot be paired with any other pool.  You also can't Pair FE-A1 to FE-A2, then FE-A2 to FE-B1. 
    2) Your diagram looks like Lync 2013 for the back end, it would actually be SQL, and this would specifically apply if you're using Lync enterprise.  If the Lync front end servers are in the same pool, they can use the same backend, if they're not they
    need separate back ends.
    3) Edge servers would be published with a standard firewall, if TMG is your firewall that would work.  If TMG is only being used as a reverse proxy, you would use it to publish your web services on your front end servers.  Either way, you'll need
    to also publish the web services on your front end servers to the Internet for mobile clients to function.

  • Basic system struggling with Standard Def MPG files

    We built two news editors about 6 months ago and needed to build both computers for $1200.  These were replacing two old Avid Newscutter XP systems from 2004...
    Because we were shooting DVCAM on DSR-250 camera's or to .mov/.avi DV files on nNovia QC Decks on the camera's, the files were basic DV 25Mbps content in SD.
    Based on the System Requirements of Adobe for Premiere CS5, I didn't feel I needed to build these as top end machines at the time.
    They are as follows:
    MSI Motherboard 77T-C45  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130270
    AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103846
    Seagate Barracuda 80GB C: Boot Drive, Page File  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148231
    Reused 1 TB Samsug 7200 rpm SATA Scratch drive from Avid system.  E:\  Projects, raw files, Media cache files
    Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184
    PNY nVidia Quadro FX 380 256 MB 128-bit GDDR3  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133274
    Corsair 400W Power supply  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008
    Looking back at it now, and after reading a lot of posts, these systems are on the low end.  Guess that is how Adobe gets more people to buy software, make it look like it will run on what you have, after you shell out the cash on the program you realize you have to upgrade hardware too..
    The systems have been working great for the SD footage we needed them for.  We are not going HD anytime soon as our entire studio, routers, switcher, CG, playout system, studio camera's and pretty much everything else would need updating. So I wanted editors that were more user friendly and would handle what we were working with and that is what I got.  Figured in 3-5 years when HD comes along for us it will be time for entire new system on CS7 with 30 cores, 1 TB of memory and such... (More's Law)...
    So new twist to the issue.  We were having a lot of issues with camera's dying the last few months.  It was getting hard to keep the DSR-250s working and even though I can buy them for $1000-$1500 used off of e-bay and they are in way better shape than ours, they were big, bulky and our reporters "one man band" it a lot and two of the young women are just shy of 5 foot.  You should see a petite little reporter lug a huge shoulder mount camera up onto the tripod and run it when it is bigger than them.. Really funny!!
    So I pushed for new camera's and found the new Sony HXR-NX5U met all our needs in that it is a Z1/Z5 style camera (smaller format) but has "NO TAPE"...Shoots to SD cards and a 4 GB class 2 gives 58 min each in SD.
    It will shoot HD as AVCHD 24Mbps files and does SD as Mpeg-2 and 9 Mbps with AC3 audio.  I demo'd a camera from Sony and did a lot of testing with it, I played a few clips on the CS5 systems and everything seemed ok.  They did require a quick render and I think that has to do with the Mpeg-2 compression.  It is about 1/4-1/2 time render so a 5 minute clip will take 1-2.5 minutes roughly to render out.  Playback is ok even when not rendered but the video looks fuzzy on the CRT monitor looped off of our Firewire DSR-11 DVCAM deck.  Not a big deal, they can edit and render at the end before dumping to tape.
    Problem that came up today (we just started using the new camera's this week), when I went to diagnose system crashing, I found a simple news package on the timeline.  Maybe 40 small clips, edited into a package, with simple edits.  It was already rendered but I noticed the fan on the system was running fast which only happens if the CPU is working hard.  (Front Case Fan 120mm is on the CPU fan header PWM control, CPU fan is on Northbridge fan connector non-PWM controlled)  So the CPU fan (stock) is running at full speed but I used the MB temp monitoring to control the front fan so I could have a quiet system when it is not working hard.
    That led me to open the task manager.  I found that the CPU is running along at 94-98% for both Cores.  Ram is ok as Premiere was using about 1.8GB of the 4 GB in the system.  I checked the other system and it was doing the same thing.
    What is odd, is premiere is just sitting there with a timeline open, mpeg-2 clips on it and me not doing anything it stays at 92% continually.  I even close the project so I am out at the "new project" "Open Project" screen and no change.  If I hit exit, then the CPU drops right away down to 7% and is fine.  Open premiere back up into a project and CPU goes right back up.  During a timeline Render it is 100%.
    We are able to edit and they seem to work but it is causing the system to run Hot and is running the CPU at near max all the time. I added two more 80mm fans out the back that will help pull more hot air out.
    Is my chip way to slow for mpeg?  is there a setting that I must change to optimize editing mpeg-2?  I am assuming it is the work to decode the video on the fly, something the DV video didn't require so much CPU for.  I am not using GPU acceleration as I do not have a card that supports it even with the hack that I know of.  And GPU Acc. doesn't work for DV firewire output either.
    I am considering the following:
    1. Buy larger aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock my chip as many say this "Black Edition" with an unlocked multiplier is a breeze to overclock up to 4 Ghz range. (but still only 2 cores)
    2. Buy a replacement 4 or 6 core processor to replace it (also with the better than stock Cooler from above)
    The only problem is having to spend so much money on additional hardware.
    I am also going to optimize Windows 7 on these editors as I think Areo is running and other none essential things.
    The big question is why is it maxing out when doing NOTHING?????  Is it just trying to build that freeze frame on the screen as it is a picture between the I- frames? (i.e. not a real frame of video but one created by decoding the info of IPPBPPIPPBPPI etc.)
    Any idea's/help would be great.  Anyone else using this camera and the SD files?  I didn't think this would be an issue as I had read post that people were editing this kind of stuff on CS3 a few years back.  Can't believe it would cause a newer system so much grief..

    is damn accurate. 8-th rank from the bottom and around 32 x slower than a fast system, out of nearly 200 systems tested. For DV that is still perfectly acceptable, but for AVCHD it is not enough.
    Your problem is the same in every industry. One can increase productivity and reduce hazards or improve working conditions (like less bulky and heavy cameras), but only at a price, by investing in new technology. It makes no sense to only invest in new cameras, without also investing in new computer equipment. It would be similar to investing in new production machinery in a plant, but postponing the training required for employees to properly use that new machinery. IMO that is a typical example of 'penny-wise, pound foolish'.
    When I built these systems 8 months ago, I was originally going to get CS4, then I read on the site the CS5 was just around the corner, didn't want to buy the version on it's way out so I held off.  I had never been to this forum, wish I had, things might be different....  I went off of this list when deciding what we would need:
    Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor; 64-bit support required
    64-bit operating system required: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 or Windows® 7
    2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
    10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash-based storage devices)
    7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed
    1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
    Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Adobe-certified card for capture and export to tape for SD/HD workflows
    OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 port for DV and HDV capture, export to tape, and transmit to DV device
    Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft Windows Driver Model
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (DVD+-R burner for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
    I understand competely now that these systems are too slow, Adobe's own specs are way to low. I knew I was on the low end but the problem is we built them for DV so I wasn't expecting them to do much more than that.  According to Adobe, I was in the (recommended Spec, not even the minimum...)  If I was wanting to attempt AVCHD right now I would start over, but the desire now is to edit .mpg clips.  It seems to be able to do that but when we have a few on the timeline and they are rendered the CPU just maxes out for no reason. But I have trouble duplicating it myself...
    Today I went in and there was one .mpg clip on a timeline.  I checked the CPU and it was running at 98%.  I closed that project, started a new one with standard DV NTSC same as the reporters. Imported the same .mpg file that was on this reporters project.  I placed it on the timeline just as she had it and did some cuts and worked with it for over 5 minutes.  Rendered it all and the CPU looked fine, maybe 40-50% in bursts.  Playing it would cause it to go up some, stop it would go down.  Could not get it to do what it was doing for her.  Closed my project re-opened hers and boom CPU to 98% again.
    here are some screenshots:
    You can see here is where opening her project caused the spike.  Then not doing anything with Premiere it just floats along the top...
    Media Cache on E:\ Drive, same as the project and .mpg file.  1 TB 7200 RPM drive.
    Proceses that are running, mspaint only running as that is what I did the paste of the Alt+Print Screen to grab the task manager with.

  • Issue in generating Invoice with standard and service material

    There is one scenario where along with standard material (i.e Tube bending machine) they charge the customer for the Design and Development of a machine (which is a service). Is it possible to make a standard order with the standard material(with excise and cst/vat) and service material (with service tax only) in one single order?
    I have tried with both the material in a single order but while making invoice system is taking only the standard material as in  item category we have mentioned Billing relevance from delivery document. And service material will not have the delivery.
    I would be thankful if you could spare some time and check the exact problem.

    Hello,
    Yes.. this is a common problem when you use Delivery relevent material and service material in the same order. Why don't you use the service material in differnt order and invoice it? or do you have any restriction like the delivery relevent material and the service material should be billed in one invoice?

  • Capture no longer working on HDV camera with HDV setting - only with NTSC.

    I have a Canon HV10 HDV camcorder. It was working fine with HDV 1080i60 settings in Easy Setup last week. Now FCP wont see this camera with these settings or HDV 1080i60 Firewire Basic. It will only see it with standard NTSC DV set.
    I have been doing some captures with my Sony TRV-900 DV camera since the HV10 was last used. Did this somehow mess something up? I have tried switching it a few times in Easy Setup and it only works with DV NTSC. Anyone with any ideas?
    Thank you!

    My bad. I accidentally switched the output of my camera to DV instead of HDV sometime last week and forgot. It works now.

  • Price valuation with standard price in case of external procurement

    Dear All,
    I have the following scenario with my client.
    All the materials will be valuated with price control S, whether procurement type is E or F. We don't have any problem if procurement type is E. But where as if procurement type is F and price control indicator is S, the system calculating the moving average price and as well as standard price is also updating for some materials. For some materials there are not moving average prices.
    1. Can any one tell me when SAP calculates both moving average price and standard price? is there any setting to be done.(procurement type F and price control S)
    2. there are differences between moving average price and standard price, ofcourse there may be a difference, but in some cases the difference is more and higher than the standard price, this may cause financial loss to the company. How can solve this.
    full marks will be awarded.
    thanks & regards,
    Ramesh Balivada

    Hi
    Moving average is updated for External purchases although price control is standard price in all cases where there are movements in materials i.e., when they are purchases...
    Check for the materials where there are no updation of moving average and externally procured materials, there might not be any purchases..
    There would be no losses as even though it is calculating mov avg price, the stock, consumption is calculated with std price only.
    Check both the cases where there are std prices and check for cases where there are both prices getting updated.

  • Adobe Reader users are occasionaly presented with Standard when published via Citrix XenApp 5.0

    We are publishing Adobe Standard to 4 users over 6 servers and have both Acrobat Standard and Reader installed on each Citrix server.  During installation of Standard, Reader was selected as the default application.
    Regardless of this configuration, infrequently the Citrix servers will present Acrobat Standard to users that are not listed as users of the application.  So far, we have not noticed any patterns of behavior and have noted the following:
    Although, all servers (1-6) have incorrectly presented Reader users with the Standard application at least once, only a few of the servers (1, 4, & 5) frequently violate the configuration settings;
    Reader users and Standard users can coexist on the Citrix server and be presented the appropriate application (i.e. 5 reader users can be presented Reader and 5 Standard users can be presented Standard at the same time).
    Citrix servers can present Acrobat Standard to Reader users even if there are no users of Standard accessing the server.
    Users are starting to experience two types of failures:a. Acrobat fatally crashes with the following event:
    Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 9.2.0.124, time stamp 0x4ac7308f, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0c094e16, process id 0x2aa8, application start time 0x01caf2b4e54acde3.
           b. Adobe Reader will simply stop responding and error out when being accessed
    Please submit any suggestions you might have for configuring these two applications to nicely coexist on a Citrix server.

    Adobe Reader was installed and running on all Citrix servers since their inception over a year ago.
    Recently, we installed Adobe Standard on each server and during installation Adobe Standard asked whether Reader or Standard should be used as the default program.  Adobe reader was selected and 80-85% of the time, the Citrix servers observe this rule.
    On other occasions, when users with access to Reader open a PDF, Citrix will present Adobe Standard instead of the default program.  At first, I thought it might be caused by a user with Standard already open but further testing proved Adobe Standard can be presented to a user of Reader even if there is no open session of Standard.

    How I know my Lync is standard or Enterprise?

    Hi,
    You can also check the Lync Server (Standard or Enterprise Edition) with the Lync Server Control Panel. On Lync Server Control Panel--Topology, you can view the edition of the FE Server.

  • KMAT with standard price that can be purchased or assembled

    Hello Experts!
    I have a question and doubt regarding configurable (KMAT) with standard price.
    We have the material XXX that is a KMAT/configurable that is assembled. The MBSS has the corresponding amount of assembly - it is OK.
    The same material XXX can be also configurable and purchased from other external supplier. So, it is generated the purchase order. After MIGO and MIRO, the amount posted at MBBS is 0,01 (the amount recorded at material master data) instead the amount of purchasing.
    Is it possible having the purchasing amount at MBBS when we buy the KMAT like we have when the KMAT is assembled?
    My best regards!
    Cheers@!
