Meaning of acronyms SFC and POD in Visiprise Labor Tracking document?

Hello xMII Community,
I have been working with Michael Appleby in regards to questions for ME II and have found documentation for same.
https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000697067
In the "Setting up Labor Tracking" document, there are two acronyms - SFC and POD.
My initial take on SFC was that it was "Shop Floor Control", but after reading it in context of several sentences that definition did not work.  Here is a couple of sentences that use both both acronym's ...
> Working in the POD -  If the user is a production operator using the POD, as he or she begins recording work in the POD, the system charges time against the labor. The system generates SFCs when you release product demand to the shop floor. The system assigns the labor charge code (LCC) associated with a shop order to each SFC as it generates them.
You can allow users or supervisors to change the LCC associated with an SFC after the system has assigned it.<------
Here is another example...
>  At his or her workstation, the operator works one SFC at a time in the POD. <----
So my question is - in the context of the above examples, what do "SFC" and "POD" stand for?
Best Regards,
Dean Atteberry.

"SFC" is an acronym for "Shop Floor Control" .  In SAP ME, it is an ID that reprsents a production unit or lot used for for detailed manufacturing traceability. 
"POD" is an acronym for "Production Operataor Dashboard".  In SAP ME, it is the primary user interface of the shop floor operator.  PODs can be configured for each user, work center, or plant depending on the requirements.

    Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you

    Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you?  Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
    As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
    You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked.  The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
    A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card.  The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US.  Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
    Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract.  This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
    Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them.  As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you.

  • SFC and System Restore errors on Surface Pro 3 running Win 8.1

      Yesterday evening, my boss sent me an email complaining about problems mapping network drives (Server 2008r2) and connecting to the office LAN after setting up offline files. He tried troubleshooting to no avail. I suggested SFC.exe and/or a systems
    restore. However neither one worked.
     System restore failed to extract file C:\Users\...\local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8v from the restore point.
      Unspecified error (0x8007045b)
     SFC.exe /scannow does report that it found errors, but could not fix them.  I have a CBS.log file that I could post somewhere...
     All this on a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1

    Stumped here. System restore reports same
    C:\Users\...\local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8v from the restore point.
      Unspecified error (0x8007045b)
    SFC 3x squeaky clean
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth  reported success. Still same issue - unable to do any system restore from any restore point.
    (trying to restore because suddenly Miracast went off to a parallel universe on my SP3..)
    --I've run SFC and DISM multiple times. Neither find any errors. I'm stumped--
    and Volume Shadow Copy Service is running...

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • What do you mean by Time profile and how to configure it.

    Hi Prashanth,
    Time profile can be customized using transaction OPD2.
    It contains the time horizons for importing the data records as well as for evaluation and planning.
    the planning horizon must be smaller or equal to the database read period.

  • Do I have the chance to get Photoshop for free if I'm a student? I mean the full version and not the trial.

    Do I have the chance to get Photoshop for free if I'm a student? I mean the full version and not the trial.

    No. Just the student rate on a permanent or subscription license. Some places do include Photoshop and other products as part of the tuition, but it is a separate arrangement and most likely temporary.
    The Photography Plan is a fine deal at $10 a month. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Otherwise there are free and paid lower cost Photoshop alternatives you can look into.

  • I pod classic 160gb skips tracks and will only play sometimes, i pod classic 160gb skips tracks and will only play sometimes

    my i pod classic 160gb is reluctant to play stored tracks and then just keeps skipping tracks. have tried restoring settings and then syncing i tunes twice but still the same.

    That is a different issue; the hard drive on your iPod is probably fine.
    I seem to recall another post a while back in this forum, where the poster said that there seems to be a limit for the length of a single item on the iPod, and it is 24 hours.  Is that the "exact point in each book" that you observe?  If true (I have not confirmed), that may be a limitation of the software on the iPod. 
    If it is possible to purchase audiobooks that are broken into shorter segments (as an option), that may be a work-around.  iTunes will still treat it as one book, for syncing, but the segments would be like songs in an album.
    If you would like to continue discussing your different problem, it would be best to create a new topic instead of posting in this topic.  You can do so by going to the forum category

  • Why can't I translate between Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. This means I want to switch between two keyboards.

    Why can't I get a Polish keyboard easily accessible from within my Word program? I have to choose it in Finder and then I can't switch back and forth between English/Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. Surely there must be a simple way of doing this by means of keyboard commands while I write, or do I have to go back to my old PC for that?
    Ulf Magnusson

    (1) You are talking about switching keyboard layouts, not about translating from Swedish to Polish or viceversa.
    (2) The keyboard layout choice is not a function of the application (MS Word) in either Mac OS X or Windows; it is a system choice.
    (3) Read
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp2214.html>
    specifically "Input source list" and "Input source shortcuts".
    In short, you choose the three keylayouts you wish to use for English, Polish, and Swedish, respectively, and then you set the shortcuts you prefer to use to switch between them.
    And it's all there, in the Help files, on your very own computer…

  • Layouts and Pods menus Disappearing For Hosts

    During a group session today with about 6 hosts, a few of them realized that, part of the way through the session, Layouts and Pods had disappeared from their menu options at the top left of the screen. They were still hosts, but couldn't access those two menu options- despite being able to access them earlier in the session. What would cause this and how can it be prevented?

    Did this get resolved? My whole meeting with layouts, polls, pods reset to a standard sharing layout. Is this another bug?

  • IPhone 6 T-Mobile Contract free, does that mean its unlocked? And I can use it worldwide?

    HI there,
    IPhone 6 T-Mobile Contract free, does that mean its unlocked? And I can use it worldwide?
    please advise me?

    As long as you do not activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card initially and just use the sim card you want, then the phone should remain unlocked.
    These were exactly the same questions asked when the iPhone 5s was released - if you want the phone to be unlocked then purchase the sim free T-Mobile phone, but DON'T activate it with the T-Mobile sim card.  If you do activate it with the T-Mobile sim, then the phone will be locked to T-Mobile, but if you activate it with another sim card, then it should remain unlocked.
    The problem with sim free is that it normally locks to the first sim card that you put in the phone and if you activate it with the T-Mobile sim, then it will, so don't use that, but the sim card that you want instead.
    Other than that, it normally takes about 6 months after the initial release date before Apple starts selling unlocked phones.
