Maintenance contracts required for CUCM on UCS

Hello All,
I have a CUCM Ver 8.5 clustrer running on UCS C210M2 server. I would like to know is there is a single maintenance contract I can purchase from Cisco to cover both UCS hardware and CUCM software. Also CUCM is running on top of VMWare ESX server, should I require to get a separate maintenance for VMWare as well ?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

First, let me make sure we're using the same terminology before I answer:
Contract - The contract number that is tied to your CCO user ID and your equipment
Maint Agreement - Your hardware or software coverage.
My understanding is that you cannot put your hardware and software on the same agreement for a number of reasons. But there is no reason that all of your agreements can't be put under the same contract number. Often, hardware and software will be on seperate POs, etc. and will end up under separate contract numbers, making things a pain. I would work with your Cisco rep to see if you can combine all of your agreements under a single contract number. I don't see why it would be an issue. If they can't do this with existing contracts, then in the future I would talk with my rep about ensuring that all future purchases get tied to the same contract number.

Update hadrware resources for CUCM in UCS

Hello all,
We have CUCM 8.6 running in UCS.
The ova file used before installing CUCM 8.6 on UCS was for less number of resources ( 1xvCPU, 1x80GB, 4GB RAM ).
I need to increase resources of VM, so instead of 1=vCPU & 1x80GB, 4GB RAM i want 2 vCPU and 2 x 80 GB, 6GBM RAM.
If i increase the number of vCPU, RAM & HD from vSphere Client manually, what is the risk in CUCM database, will it effect or it will be safe ?
Is there any way to upgrade the ova file in running VM instead of building new VM with new OVA file ?
Kindly help.
Regards,

Hello bernhardczapp,
We were upgrading CUCM 8.6 to 10.5 but unfortunately it failed with an error saying there is no disk space available, we opened case wtih cisco & we were advised to perform following tasks to free disk space:
Clear the logs is from RTMT tool, download the old log/traces and delete them from the server with this process:
1)      Login to RTMT
2)      Go to Trace & log central
3)      Select Collect File
4)      Select All service checkbox and All server checkbox, click next.
5)      Select a period of time. Select all the time frame for the logs that you do not need anymore, example from January until July. (Also there is a drop down so you can clear the ones from the inactive partition.)
6)      Select the Delete file Checkbox.
7)      Click finish
We followed procedure & after 8 hours it made 6495 MB space free. Before was 36444MB & after process 29949MB.
Reason i mentioned about new ova file for CUCM 10.5 is that while creating VM i will have option to select 7,500 users (this will give me 2x80GB, 2xvCPU, 1x6GB RAM)
I will try installing your suggested cop files & will update you. Do i need to restart Servers after cop file installation ?
But if you have alternate solution please share.
Kind Regards

Annual Maintenance Contract for Equipment Pieces in SAP

Hi All,
I am aware of the standard SAP function of Service Procurement.
However my requirement is as follows:-
1.I want to create a 'F' Account Assigned service Purchase order (Annual Maintenance Contract) with a option in the PO screen to enter equipment numbers.On saving the PO,dynamically a Maintenance order should get created with the equipment pieces in the object List.
2.The P.O number of AMC should get dynamically populated in the equipment master view for the equipment pieces mentioned in the AMC.
3.During Notification or Maintenance order creation,I want to use the OIK(Object Information Key) or any other pop-up screen for information regarding the AMC PO Number with validity period.
4.During Service entry preparation want to put the equipment number,for which AMC activity has been performed.
5.Finally want to generate a report to display the equipment pieces for which AMC activity got missed.
Request all to provide a solution for this as all maintenance services have been hired for my equipment pieces and I want to utilize all the standard SAP reports.
Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy

Dear Sujoy,
If you exactly require the same way what you have written, it would be a product development and not recomended.
Follow the cycle described below.
1. Create a Contract with F & D (Services & Assigned to Maint Order).
2. Create all required Equipment.
3. Create Equipment Task List with External Operation Control Key and assign the Contract Number for each Opeartion. (Service values from contract will not be updated Automatically, either update manually or do a development for this part).
4. Create Maintenance Plans an dinclude the Task Lists.
5. Orders are generated with PR's with reference to Contract.
6. Let them release monthly or fortnightly PO's.
7. On Submission of Service report, create SES and release.
In this way you will have complete Maintenance History with cost & control.
Hope this might be useful to you.
Regards,
MLN Prasad

I am halfway through my 4s contract and wanted to buy a 5, but only see the 64 gig available to me for 649 but that requires a 2 year contract. Where can I buy w ou getting locked into a contract and for how much?

I am halfway through my 4s contract and wanted to buy a 5, but only see the 64 gig available to me for 649 but that requires a 2 year contract. Where can I buy w ou getting locked into a contract and for how much?

Your contract is with your service provider - it has nothing at all to do with Apple.
You can buy a contract free and/or unlocked iPhone from Apple and use it with whatever carrier you wish. Your contract terms with your current service provider remain in effect for your iPhone 4s though, so if you cancel with them (or port your number out, which accomplishes the same thing) you will owe them early termination fees and so forth.
Even if you pay full retail but want to use the phone with your current service provider, you are still obligated to complete the terms of your existing contract.

Question about the requirement for goods issue from a delivery (VOFM)

Dear all
※Please note that this is related to the credit limit check.
I am trying to set up the SAP system, so that if the maintenance contract (rental document) is billed at least once,
the system would allow the user to bill the customer regardless of the credit usage (ex. 150%).
So I created the following routine for the credit check (in VOFM).
IF XVBAK-AUART = 'ZMZZ'.    --> Please note that ZMZZ is the document type of our rental document
   LOOP AT XFPLT.
       IF XVBUK-FKSAK = 'B' or XVBUK-FKSAK = 'C'.
We will not do any credit limit check for this item line.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-SECURITY.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-STATIC_LIMIT.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DYNAMIC_LIMIT.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DOCUMENTVALUE.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-CRITICAL_FIELDS.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-REVIEWDATE.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OPEN_ITEMS.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OLDEST_OP.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DUNNING_LEVEL.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER1.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER2.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER3.
            EXIT.
      ENDIF.
           EXIT.
   ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Now, with the routine above, it became possible to bill customers regardless of the credit usage.
However, when we try to ship (posting goods issue) the item for that maintenance contract, when the credit usage exceeds 100%, the system rejects it with the error message below.
<Error message>
Static credit check: credit limit exceeded
Now, I want to set up the system, so that if the posting goods is for the item which satisfies the following condition,
the system would not reject the posting due to the error above.
<condition>
1. The item is for the maintenance contract which was billed at least once --> this means that this is not a new contract
※Please note that for new maintenance contracts (which is not billed even once), the system should not allow to post goods
   issue if the credit usage exceeds 100 %.
I looked into VOFM, and found out that we are using the following routines for posting goods issue.
<system routine>
13
<user routine>
113
But I didn't know where the error (Static credit check: credit limit exceeded) came from.
Could you tell me how to find (or where to modify) a location where I can make the modification in order to
satisfy our requirement?
Thank you very much in advance

Dear all
I was able to solve the problem by setting up the credit check routine for delivery notes, and assign it for "No credit check" field
in the automatic credit control (OVA8).
So, thank you for your help, everyone

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.
Return ->
Definition: excise registration
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: chapter ID
Logistics - General (LO)
The number given to a material in the schedules of materials published by the government of India.
The schedule lists all materials involved in manufacturing, input materials and output materials alike. It shows how much excise duty is levied on each material.
Each material in the schedule is assigned its own identification code, called "chapter ID."
Example
The schedule contains an entry for ceramic roofing tiles, which are liable to basic excise duty at 16%. The chapter ID associated with these tiles is 6903.10.
Return ->
Definition: chapter ID
Assign Users to Material Master Screen Sequence for Excise D
Use
In this IMG activity, you customize the material master data so that it shows the information relating to excise duty.
Standard settings
Country Version India comes with a screen sequence (IN) that shows the excise duty fields. You have to assign it to each of your users.
Activities
1. Double-click User Screen Reference.
2. Assign all users who need to see the excise duty information to the screen reference IN.
Example
Name Screen Reference
MISHRA IN
Screen Sequence Number
Alphanumeric key identifying the screen sequence. The screen sequence defines the sequence of information units in the material master dialog. A screen sequence is made up of data screens. For information on the screen sequences defined in the standard R/3 system, see the IMG documentation Configuring the Material Master.

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)

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_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.
Number Ranges
You can maintain the number ranges for all CIN Number range objects using this transaction
Activities
Please maintain the number ranges for the folllowing objects The no nr has to be '01' for all

PRIME Infrastructure OVA co-residency with CUCM on UCS

Hallo All.
Has anyone installed the PRIME Infrastructure OVA alongside CUCM on a UCS?
I've been looking at this document
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Sizing_Guidelines but it is vague on PRIME Infra.
Also, the CUCM I am installing alongside is v8.5
Any thoughts?
Cheers
David

The PI documentation is lagging a bit - the only requirements for the current release are what's in the Quick Start Guide here.
There is no requirement for dedicated cores. As long as your VM meets the hardware specification of the QSG, your installation should be OK. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to provide more than the minimum requirements.)

UCCX 7.0.1SR5 to 8.0 upgrade while also adding LDAP integration for CUCM - what happens to agents and Historical Reporting data?

Current State:
•    I have a customer running CUCM 6.1 and UCCX 7.01SR5. Currently their CUCM is *NOT* LDAP integrated and using local accounts only. UCCX is AXL integrated to CUCM as usual and is pulling users from CUCM and using CUCM for login validation for CAD.
•    The local user accounts in CUCM currently match the naming format in active directory (John Smith in CUCM is jsmith and John Smith is jsmith in AD)
Goal:
•    Upgrade software versions and migrate to new hardware for UCCX
•    LDAP integrate the CUCM users
Desired Future State and Proposed Upgrade Method
Using the UCCX Pre Upgrade Tool (PUT), backup the current UCCX 7.01 server.
Then during a weekend maintenance window……
•    Upgrade the CUCM cluster from 6.1 to 8.0 in 2 step process
•    Integrate the CUCM cluster to corporate active directory (LDAP) - sync the same users that were present before, associate with physical phones, select the same ACD/UCCX line under the users settings as before
•    Then build UCCX 8.0 server on new hardware and stop at the initial setup stage
•    Restore the data from the UCCX PUT tool
•    Continue setup per documentation
At this point does UCCX see these agents as the same as they were before?
Is the historical reporting data the same with regards to agent John Smith (local CUCM user) from last week and agent John Smith (LDAP imported CUCM user) from this week ?
I have the feeling that UCCX will see the agents as different almost as if there is a unique identifier that's used in addition to the simple user name.
We can simplify this question along these lines
Starting at the beginning with CUCM 6.1 (local users) and UCCX 7.01. Let's say the customer decided to LDAP integrate the CUCM users and not upgrade any software.
If I follow the same steps with re-associating the users to devices and selecting the ACD/UCCX extension, what happens?
I would guess that UCCX would see all the users it knew about get deleted (making them inactive agents) and the see a whole group of new agents get created.
What would historical reporting show in this case? A set of old agents and a set of new agents treated differently?
Has anyone run into this before?
Is my goal possible while keeping the agent configuration and HR data as it was before?

I was doing some more research looking at the DB schema for UCCX 8.
Looking at the Resource table in UCCX, it looks like there is primary key that represents each user.
My question, is this key replicated from CUCM or created locally when the user is imported into UCCX?
How does UCCX determine if user account jsmith in CUCM, when it’s a local account, is different than user account jsmith in CUCM that is LDAP imported?
Would it be possible (with TAC's help most likely) to edit this field back to the previous values so that AQM and historical reporting would think the user accounts are the same?
Database table name: Resource
The Unified CCX system creates a new record in the Resource table when the Unified CCX system retrieves agent information from the Unified CM.
A Resource record contains information about the resource (agent). One such record exists for each active and inactive resource. When a resource is deleted, the old record is flagged as inactive; when a resource is updated, a new record is created and the old one is flagged as inactive.

New contract account for every line item in subscription order....

Hi Guys,
I am having a problem with the subscription order.
Whenever I change the subscription order and add a line item to it, SAP by default creates a new contract account for that line item. Whereas I want to assign the same contract account to the second line item also.
Can you suggest me any solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Abhay

Hello Abhay,
This is the normal and correct function for SAP. If you would like for the subscriptions to be on the same contract that you subscriber has, an enhancement has to be developed.
We had a similar requirement and an enhancement was developed per specifications.

License Rehosting for CUCM 8.5 to 9.1.2 Virtualization and Upgrade

No license rehosting is required for a jump upgrade from 6 or 7 to 9.1.2.
If you follow the same procedure for a 8.5 or 8.6 virtualization and upgrade - you virtualize your 8.5 or 8.6 software in a lab and then upgrade to 9.1.2 and cutover - do you need to rehost your licenses for the interim virtual 8.5 or 8.6 cluster before upgrading? I've seen this error:
"Upgrades are prohibited during Licensing Grace Period" error trying to move off the "Software Location" page.

ERROR: The cabinet file 'Sql.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used

As the title indicates, I'm having this error during installation. It occurs when I try to install
the "Management Studio" part of the program. I've tried a bunch of things like
copying to hard drive and installing, but to no avail. To isolate the problem, i've even tried removing Reporting services, since at the time of failure it seems to be trying to install/configure the Microsoft.Reporting Services dll.
Additionally, I have SQL Express installed (installed it separately, not as part of the SQL 2005 DVD), VS 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, SQL Management Studio Express CTP. Could the Management Studio Express be causing a problem?
Please note:
Although the error is about missing / corrupt Sql.cab, I have searched the entire dvd for the said file, but there is no file called Sql.cab on the dvd. Am I missing something?
Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Reading though the many Google hits going way back AD-2000/AD-2006/AD-2011/AD-2014 for various installs including SQLserver_2008/2012 etc
I noted that in the main there were x2 common themes.
1. Problem with corruption the original download.
--- Although I had not run the download checksum
--- I had previously just installed SQLServer2014_Developer successfully, so at the minute, I was confident downloads were ok.
--- Many hits mentioned this 'Sql.cab' file and 90% of the install had been successfull -
--- I figured the chances of us all having corruption of this one files were agaianst the odds and
---   probably re-downloading it would not fix this - but I kicked a re-download off anyhow .
While it was running ...
2. Network issue when installing - some of the hits asked if could be related to Virtual drives.
--- This struck a chord
--- I had downloaded the SQLServer2014 .iso to my host PC and then copied it onto one OneDrive so I could access it within the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
--- From within the VirtualBox_Windows_10 I had then used SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe to mount the OneDrive SQLServer2014 .iso and then autorun the install.
What worked for me ...
--- I decided to
--- 1. Copy the same SQLServer2014 .iso that had failed to install x2 from OneDrive to the c:\ root of the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
--- 2. Remount the same SQLServer2014 .iso from c:\ again using SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe.
--- 3. Re-run the SQLServer2014 install using the repair mode.
This time the [Maintenance] [Repair] install completed with all elements showing installed successfully.
Hope this helps
Andy
