Minutes-based iPhone plans?

I am a U.S.A. resident with no plans of travel abroad. I currently own a simple pay-as-you-go, minutes-based cellphone (Tracfone). Tracfone is a low-cost service. You can purchase varying amounts of minutes for the phone, and it usually comes out to about $22 for 90 days.
I live in a very hilly rural area where cellular coverage is spotty at best and I am very mobile in these hills. As a result, I've come to find cellular service to be unreliable and not worth more than a cheap minutes-based service.
Verizon Wireless dominates most of the area in these hills with their tower-coverage.
Because cellular service is unreliable here, I have very little experience with uber-mobile networking culture. I occasionally receive useful text messages but I never send any. (My Tracfone only has a simple phone keypad, so I never tried to send a message with it.) I only occasionally use my cellphone for voice-calls; some calls for business, some for personal conversation. I tried setting up a voice-mailbox with Google Voice so I could check my voice-mail through a web-browser, but Tracfone and Google Voice don't work together well.
I also own an old, first-generation iPod, which is getting worn out.
I was thinking about getting an iPhone, and wondered if there was a plan available that would allow for a cheap, minutes-based service so I could replace my Tracfone and my iPod at the same time. Does such a plan exist?
MY CURRENT CELLPHONE:
Tracfone Motorola C139 or similar open-face model (minutes-based, pay-as-you-go)
MY CURRENT CELLULAR USAGE:
Personal: send/receive some voice calls, rarely receive text messages
Business: send/recieve voice calls
BUSINESS LANDLINE:
Verizon voice-phone and internet DSL connection
MY COMPUTER HARDWARE
late-2012 iMac, Airport WiFi connected to DSL (share w/ another person's laptop)
THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH A NEW IPHONE:
send/receive voice calls occasionally
send/receive text messages
connect text messages to my e-mail address
tie my cellular voice-mail to an internet-based service like Google Voice, so I can check voice-mail via a web-browser
use WiFi to check weather radar, e-mail
use iPhone as a calculator
use iPhone to scan-in purchase receipts, invoices, etc. and store and relay these to my iMac for records
use iPhone as a music player/iPod
use WiFi at home to relay iPhone's camera-photos to e-mail and/or Instagram
use iPhone as a voice-recorder to take voice to-do notes for later action
Is this possible? Is there an iPhone plan that would work on minutes, and be able to function on local cell towers?

AT&T offers different international roaming data plans - it is the partner carrier in each country that is charging AT&T and its subscribers outrageous fees, which AT&T does in return for those roaming internationally in the U.S.
With an app that requires internet access, you need an available wi-fi network to access the internet with the app without incurring international data roaming fees.

MRP - Auto creation of del schedule lines based on planned delivery time

Hi,
We have activated MRP (type PD) where Purchase requiesition is auto created by system for requirement quantity. We require to optimize delivery schedule in such a way that entire PR quantity is broken into various delivery schedule based on planned delivery time and requirement. Scenario can be further explained with following example.
Material Requirement for a month is say 1,25,000 units
Closing Stock say 25,000 units
PR Generated by system for 1,00,000 units. The entire quantity is schdulled with only one delivery schedule line as per planned delivery time.
The requirement is to generate multiple delivery schedule lines automatically in Purchase requisition based on planned delivery time so that Purchase orders can be placed with system generated delivery schedule lines.
How can it be achieved ?

Nirav Kinkhabwala

Nirav,
This subject has been discussed repeatedly in this and other forums. I must assume that you overlooked the rules of engagement, which state that you should first search the forums and other public sites, before posting questions here.
Standard SAP MRP cannot be made to generate multiple items in a Purchase requisition. The functionality you seek is usually achieved when converting purchase reqs to Purchase orders, where many single purchase reqs can be adopted into a single Purchase order.
You also might want to investigate use of Vendor Scheduling agreements.

ATP based on planning output

Hello,
Appreciate if you could help me to understand how ATP based on planning output works in following scenario.
ATP-enabled plan is an ECC plan with supplier capacity constraints. The ATP plan has both forecast and sales order demand. When ATP plan runs, supply planned orders will be generated based on supplier capacity constraints.
If a new sales order is scheduled, will ATP suggest a promise date by
1) considering the supply planned orders generated for the unconsumed forecast
OR
2) generating a new supply planned order for the new sales order
If (2) is used, will the sales order be scheduled out to a later date if the supplier capacity has already been taken up by the planned orders generated for the forecast demand?
Cheers!

ATP will suggest a Schedule Ship Date / Schedule Arrival Date (based on scheduling setup in Order Management) considering the supply planned orders generated for the unconsumed forecast.
If all the planned ordres are already allocated to other newly scheduled sales orders (i.e. entered in the system after last plan run), then for the newest sales order which you are trying to schedule, ATP calculation will be done to check the earliest availability using the ATP Rule defined for your item in the Org where you want to schedule the sales order. If no ATP rule is assigned to the item, then default ATP rule from Org Parameters is used. When you accept the new suggested date for scheduling the sales order, the sales order starts appearing in the ATP plan (in pink color text) but no new planned order is created. New planned order creation will happen only when you run the data collection and plan again. Similarly, consumption of unconsumed forecast will also happen during this new plan run.
In the above scenario, if you have a multi level BOM for the sales order item with
- the child items ASCP planned and ATP enabled and
- resources in the routings of BOM items at different BOM levels CTP enabled
then ATP will explode thru' the supply chain bill, check availability of each child item and resources required for those and accordingly return an availability date.
Newest sales order will be scheduled out to a later date if
- the supplier capacity has already been taken up by the planned orders generated for the forecast demand and
- such planned orders are fully allocated for new sales orders scheduled after the last plan run but before your newest order

Is there anyway to increase the number of minutes to your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

Is there any way to increase the number of anytime minutes for your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

CBaker13,
An important question. Most calling plans established by Verizon Wireless are designed to cover calling plan minutes as part of your calling plan rather than a separate feature. You can generally keep most other features if you change your calling plan if that is what you are concerned about.
Maybe I can provide a better answer with some details and make a recommendation to you. Could you advise us what calling plan you currently have? What specific concerns do you have regarding what features you might lose?

Condition Based Maintenance Plans

Dear All,
My client has the requirement of condition based maintenance plans without interfacing etc. An example is described below:
Compressor bearing has temperature limits of 70 deg C and 90 deg C. If measurement document reading is recorded outside the range specified here a maintenance call / maintenance order should be triggered.
Please give an example or process for the above dsicussed condition based maintenance plan upto two or three calls.
Thanks and Regards,
Saif Ali Momin

Hi,
As such there is no functionality directly. You can use the following user exits and can develop your on logic to trigger notification in case measured values are out of tolerance values.
IMRC0003 Menu exit - measurement document
As I remember there is sample code available for ythe same. You can check through SMOD transaction.

Condition based maintenance plan

Dear Experts,
Can anybody clarify me about the condition based maintenance plan?
How the plan is created and measuring points and measuring documents are controlled?
My requirement is as follow:
I have one equipment, for that equipment I have created a measuring point (Temp) with counter. And the engineer enters the measuring document for that equipment.
Here when the measuring reading reaches certain level, say Temp reaches more that 80 Degree C, i.e., a measuring document is entered for the measuring point with a reading of 82 Degree C, system should generate a maintenance order for that equipment?
How the above scenario is addressed in SAP?
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Ramesh,
The operator maintains the log sheet of the equipments out side SAP, since he doesn't have the access to the SAP system. All the details are entered by Maintenance Engineer or Supervisor. The same log sheet details are entered by them in the system.
Will you please clarify me on thing:
*need to specify the min & max level in your measurement point at which u want to get call*
how can we specify the min & max levels in measuring point? Is it possible through customer exit only? Because I did not able to find those filed in the measuring point master data.
Regards..

Settings for performance based maintenance plan

Hi experts,
Incase of hour or Km dependent performance base plan, how we can fix the reading (In hours or Km) limit or period of order generation? what is the impact of annual estimate? Please give me an example with all readings.
Regards,

When you create a plan with a counter (Associate a measurement point of counter type to the same), then you would be able to specify at what intervals (Counter readings for this measurement point), the call object associated to the Maintenance plan should be generated.
The actual call date for this maintenance plan however depends on the "Annual estimate " for the measurement point counter and also the actual counter readings captured for the measurement point
For ex: Annual estimate maintained for the Point : 12,000 Miles .Maintenance for this equipment should be triggered for every 1000 Miles (This should be the counter interval maintained for the Maintenance plan). Based on the above the maintenance plan would generated a call every one month (Annual estimate / period).As an example, when this Maintenance plan is scheduled for 1 yr, then 12 maintenance calls will be generated one each for every month. The actual and scheduled dates for the call depends on the various other scheduling parameters maintained for the Plan.
Its critical for any counter based maintenance plan that the counter reading is Captured , Through measurement documents regularly, EVEN IF THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE COUNTER READING, Otherwise, the system generates call objects (for example, maintenance orders) based on the estimated annual performance entered for the counter, even though the counter reading has not in reality been reached.
for ex: owing to a vehicle breakdown/ repair if the vehicle has been in repair shop for a month,To avoid a maintenance order being created before it is needed, you maintain the new total counter reading in the system regularly over the period of the month. You then reschedule the maintenance plan using IP30, and the call date is recalculated based on the updated counter reading. In this case, the call date would be later.

Counter based startegy plan

HI Friends,
We have created a counter based startegy plan. the order should be generated at 500/1000/2000 hours.
Current counter reading is 5, still when the maintenance plan was scheduled 3 orders got generated for the same day.
Could you let me know why this happened? isithis standard system behaviour.
thnaks in advance
Warn regards
Vivek

Hi
counter based plan count the counter on the basis of annual estimate in measuring point
and on the basis of that value only generate the order
so enter the practical value in annual estimate
keep the scheduling period small
try background scheduling
hope will be work

Counter based maintenance plan triggered improperly

Hi,
we have created one counter based maintenance plan with cycle unit 1000 hours offset unit 0 hours this plan was created on 21.04.2008 . But 68 orders triggered on 19.04.2011 why it was happend.
how find start of cycle reading for the Maintenance plan?
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
Counter based plan will work based on the Measuring point assigned to that.
In Measuring Point, you would have defined the Annual Estimate. Based on the Annual Estimate & Cycle value in Plan & Scheduling period in the plan, based on all these, call object would be generated.
Doubt in Single Cycle Performance based Plan

Maheswaran.
