Multi-tenancy for a seperate business unit

Apparently, we can't do multi-tenancy with SCSM 2012 R2 (see link below). We'd like setup SCSM for one of our business units, but we don't want any of their stuff mingling with our IT stuff. It looks like we'll have to create a
new Management Group. Is it possible to create a new Management Group on the same server as our current IT Management Group, or do we need a new server ?

Also, to save some work, is there a way to export settings (eg. for the connectors) from our current IT Management Group to the new Management Group ?
Thanks

Hi,
as per Microsoft Definition "The Service Manager management server and its associated Service Manager database make up a Service Manager management group." This means, that if you need additional Service Manager Management Groups, you have to install
additional servers.
I find it very handy, that you can leverage a single data warehouse Management Group and centralize your reporting if you register your many Service Manager management groups with a single data warehouse management group:
"In your enterprise, you might create multiple Service Manager management groups. You can centralize reporting for multiple Service Manager management groups by registering multiple Service Manager management groups with a single data warehouse management
group."

Planning for System Center 2012 - Service Manager Deployment
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh519640.aspx
About exporting your settings...They should be stored in management packs, which you can import in the new management group. About the connectors - you have to recreate them in the new environment and this shouldn't be a big administrative effort. It will
take probably not more than 30 Minutes to recreate all possible connectors.
I hope I could help you further.

Stoyan

Track Purchases/payments Sales/Receipts for 2 business units in 1 OU

Hi,
We have one Operating unit and need to capture the liabilities/payables for 2 different business units. What approach can be undertaken to set up the liability account ?
Should we maintain 2 different liability accounts ?
If the same supplier deal with both business then at which point do we enter different liability accounts ?
How do we track the purchases made for each.
Kindly through some light.
Same is required for the AR side too.

Hi
2.On the Purcahsing side , when entering the po the users should put the BU value in the segment when entering non-inventory(expense) item . How about the inventory item purchase ?
Ans:You can use two separate Sub Inventories for each BU
3. Any ideas to overcome the inability to receive cash against BU ?
Ans: There is an Account Generator called AR: Substitute Balancing Segment: Replace Balancing Segment. Using the WF customization, I understand this could be possible. But it will not be supported by Oracle because before the receipt hits the Cash account it has to pass through several intermediary accounts like unapplied receipts, undentified receipts, Confirmation account, Remittance account On account receipt etc., Only R12 Subledger Accounting has the supported solution. If you are using Oracle Public Sector Financials, then there is a solution for this called Multi fund receipt in 11.5.10.
4. Just like we can setup different transaction types in AR, can we have some means to identify the purchase/invoices of the 2 different BU ?
Ans: You need to capture only through a DFF. But I feel this is not required when you run the AP Trial balance report, you need to specify the Liability account. So if you give in that as BU2, you are going to get only BU 2 related invoices and if you specify BU1, it is going to filter BU1 invoices only. If it does not happen also you can customize this report to filter in that way.
Hope this helps

SharePoint 2013 On premise Multi-Tenancy vs full SharePoint

Hi,
We have requirements coming in from joint ventures who need their own site collections/sites.
Rather than trying to implement them on our current full Enterprise SharePoint environment we would setup a seperate SharePoint deployment in multi-tenancy mode with partitioned service applications.
Before I offer this up as an option I need to let them know if there are any limitations to a multi-tenant environment over the full versions. I have seen reference to PerformancePoint not being available and it being harder to migrate to O365 in the
future if needed however I have not found a definitive list.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the limitations (if one exists!)?
Thanks,
Mark

There is no specific list of limitations in one concise spot. But if you read Spence Harbar's articles on Multi-tenancy (for 2010 and 2013) you will find lists of things that don't work in multi-tenancy. For example, there are several services
like the Visio graphics service that don't support partitioning of their databases and are therefore a problem for multi-tenancy. As you mentioned PerformancePoint is another one. Read both articles and you should be able to compile a list of what
you need to know.

Business Unit Security Access

I have created a Child Business Unit that has a Parent Business Unit. The Child Business Unit has a team associated with it. The team has members that are all in the Business Unit.
I have restricted access in the security role so that Read access on Entity A is set to Business Unit.
My problem is that when a User from the Busines Unit I have created views the entity they can Read records of people in the Parent Business Unit but I only want them to see records for the Child Business Unit which they are a member of.
Anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks.

If the issue is with a user from the child BU seeing records in the parent business unit, it is likely a security role issue and you may wan to check the users' security role. In CRM, if more than one security role is being compared (and in this case there
are at least 2, 1 with the team, and the other with the user record) the role with the highest privileges will be taken. Not the most restrictive as some people may think. So my guess is that the user security role has org level read privileges.
You may also consider checking of there is any sharing being done with the record in the child business unit. A user could have easily shared a large chunk of records with one or more users in the parent business unit. If this is the case, you
will need to unshared them one at a time which is time consuming. You may also find a third party tool on Codeplex that will do the unsharing or you may be able to create a console app if you have someone with coding skills.
If the issue is with user seeing related records to the entity, such as seeing emails (that they shouldn't see) of others related to the an account record (that they are allowed to see) for example, this could be the result of inheritance.
I have seen this before going back to CRM 4.0. There is an older document for CRM 4.0 that covers this in depth. I don't have it on hand, I haven't reviewed it in at least 2 years, and I'm not sure if they have anything updated for the
newer versions. Not sure it this applies, since it sounds like the issue is with lower business units seeing parent BU records.

Linking Corporate cockpit and Business Unit Cockpit

hi all,
Our requirement is to create Management cockpits for Corporate and Business unit : providing a picture of overall situation in corporation as well as in its strategic business units.
The user should be able to move from aggregated figures for the entire group to the detailed information on each stategic business units.
My problem is how should i link Corporate Cockpit with Strategic Business Unit Cockpit so that the user would be able to move from aggregated to detailed information ?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
Q no 1:
Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways by which sourcing can be done.
1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
Service requirement without part number
2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
you can get all the requirements.
From this you can convert it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
Workflow for Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
If you are SAP ABAP person they you can confugure this .Normally ABAP person will do this.. Please go to S ID and get the
details there for Business rule framework
Just check in this forum in Search you can get more details and notes
go to Google.com and enter business rule framework you get more material

Questions on setting up PeopleSoft FIN AP Business Unit for India with TDS

Hi,
Does anyone here have some advice for me on how to handle AP transactions for a business unit set up for India with TDS (withholding) and statutory reporting.
We are configuring AP BU for India in our existing database which has other BUs for other countries not using withholding. For India the way we understood on statutory is that all invoices must be recognised for withholding at the time of invoice entry or payment which ever ealiest. For PeopleSoft we always have to create voucher before we can make mayment so the earliest occurace will be at voucher entry that withholding should be deducted (at voucher post).
The problem that we are encountering is that if we have prepayment invoice, we can use prepaid voucher to record this. However, when we receive the final invouce and entered into PeopleSoft the voucher post reversed the original withholding lines and recreate in the final invoice with final invoice amount. This could be in different period. As for the India rule the way we understood this is that the entries that created at prepaid should not be reversed, also those withholding might already be paid to the goverment in prior period before receiving the final invoice. The final invoice should have withholding calculate just for the difference of the invoice balance.
Our other problem is on the statutory reporting that all transactions should be recorded in that particular period. Our current setup has AP close period at the end of each month which means we cannot enter invoices raised in previous period or have adjustments put in the period that already closed.
Any help and advice on how companies that has India AP business unit deal with the above mentioned issues are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks Marc Sachdeva.
I don't mean where to set up withholding. I have alredy configured all withholding details and everything works fine in AP.
However, as India statutory comes in, I'd like to know how other companies handle cases like accounting entries for transactions in specific period if your system has AP/GL closed periods. Normal cases would be put entries in the next accounting period. But as my understanding on the Indian rules is that withholding must be recorded at the time of entering the invoice. So how should adjustment be made.
Another thing is the prepayment invoices, using PeopleSoft Prepaid voucher would cause the accounting entries for withholding lines to be reversed and then re-recorded when posting the final invoice (that matches with the prepaid). I would like to know how companies are dealing with such case as the TDS lines could be revsersed and recalculate in different accounting period. Also if the period that it revsered the TDS % could have changed and when the reverse happens it will recalculate withholding based on the new rate for the whole of invoice amt.
For example an invoice of 10000 INR, 50% is to be recorded and paid in advance so raise the invoice of 5000 INR in Feb. TDS is 10%.
- So vendor will be paid 4500 and 500 is for withholding.
- In April then receive final invoice of 10000 INR, record into PS as 10000 but matched to prepaid so the remaining invoice is 5000. withholding rate in Apr is now 15% so 15% should be applied to the remaining invoice of 5000 INR. As the prepaid voucher option reversed withholding lines and recalculate with final invoice total so the withholding to be deducted is calculated at 15% = 1500 (10000 * 15%).
- As the prepaid invoice withholding might have already been paid in March before the rate changed, the final invoice should have withholding of 750.
I'm not sure if my understanding of recording withholding for India is correct and whether it really needs to be recorded in the month that invoice is raised. As the way I understood and have been told it has to be recorded in that month. I.e. invoice received on 30 April must be entered into accounting period of April. Our business close AP/GL about a week before the end of month so if we receive invoice on 30th April but our AP/GL already closed on 25th Apr then 30th Apr invoice should go to May accounting period. As statutury requirement is to record this into April. How does anyone handle this?
Thanks.

How to set up Pymnt Method for different business units

Hi,
Can anyone shed some light as to how to set up P Method in FBZP in a way that one type can be identified according to its Business Unit?
To clarify, FBZP is currently set up in a repeated way:
Pymnt Methods:
T - Transfer - Business Oil
S - Transfer - Business Engineering
V - Transfer - Business Equipment
A - Boleto - Business Oil
N - Boleto - Business Engineering
C - Boleto - Business Equipment
As you can see, we are repeating same payment method as it is needed for business to identify which business unit this refers to.
Is there a way of setting up only one type of Transfer and one type of Boleto and how this will categorize the type of Business Unit ??
Any input is welcome
Regards
Roger

Hi Roger:
How about some enhancement on F110? The logic would be something like read all the proposal lines, group by profit center and then re-assign the payment method based on profit center. There are couple of user exits available starting with RFFOX###, depending on the payment method and the program you using.
Something similar to substitution rules user exit.
Not sure if there is any other standard configuration to combine lines by profit center.
Thanks.

How to get access to a business Unit in Fusion Sales Cloud for Incentive compensation user

Hi all,
We are setting up a new environment and we do not seem to get access to the Business Unit.
We have all the roles necessary and have access to the required screens but cannot populate any data as the business Unit DropDown is not showing any values.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't think the IT Security Manager role is going to help you in the Incentive Comp plan UI.
This is a screenshot from my test environment where I have these two roles for the business unit "IC Performance Test". I am not an IC expert and this was set up a couple of years ago, so I don't recall all the details. I have pinged the IC team to comment on this.

Offline doc : Business package for business unit analyst

Hi experts,
I'm looking for an offline doc for the business package "business unit analyst 2".
I've found the online doc <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/5e/083f403f0a9354e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">here</a>, but I want something offline, printable.

Hi Sunil
Your point about the prerequisites lead me to the solution. The settings were wrong in Virtual Room settings in the Visual Administrator and the Collaboration Room Backend Properties in the portal. These need to be correct as a virtual room is created by the system when the planning round is created.

VPD - suitable for multi-tenancy?

Would it be a bastardization of the intended capabilities of Oracle virtual private DB to try to use them to convert a single tenacy application into multi-tenancy? The idea would be that there not a 1:1 mapping of schemas to customer, but rather a single schema where all customers' data is retained. Bad idea?

That would be perfectly in keeping with the intended use of VPD. That's one of the primary reasons for that functionality to exist.

Report of all sales orders for a business unit

I am analyzing revenue, and I would like to run a report that would list all sales orders and the value of those orders in a particular business unit.
I require the value of each and every sales contract during a certain period. Can I run a report that lists all sales contracts opened during a particular period?

Hello,
from the standard SAP menu, under: "Logistics --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Information System --> Orders" you can find some transactions reporting sales orders lists, such as VA05 or SDO1, which perhaps could fit your requirements. Otherwise you can create a query to merge the tables containing the information that you need. As of my knowledge there's not an organizational level called "Business unit" in SAP, so you should check if in the transaction mentioned above the field you use to identify the "Business unit" is available.
Hope to be useful.

Multi tenancy with schema per tenant

Hello,
I am tryign to run multi tenancy with schema per tenant. It seems to work good when tenant ID is set in XML as a property for persistance unit.
But I need to set tenant in code. Is that possible? How?
I found this article:
codecrafters.blogspot.it/2013/03/multi-tenant-cloud-applications-with.html
So I tried to set it in doBegin method in custom transaction manager. But that doesn't work. I guess relation descriptors aren't updated right.
I could provide more info with exception stack also but first... have I pick the right approach?
Thanks!
Martin

UPDATE 26.6.2015: This isn't completelly right solution. Read also comments below or go to my article at http://www.mafospace.com/articles/multi-tenancy-with-eclipselink-and-inherited-entities
I've solved it finally. Maybe it will be helpful for someone. I've done that in similar way as described in article I linked in first post. Through custom transaction manager.
import org.eclipse.persistence.config.PersistenceUnitProperties;
import org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EntityManagerImpl;
import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.coordination.MetadataRefreshListener;
import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.server.ServerSession;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager;
import sk.bantip.hotel.server.security.SecurityHelper;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class MultiTenantJpaTransactionManager extends JpaTransactionManager {
* NOTE:
* Maybe it would be also possible to replace existing entityManager in transaction with new but it
* isn't a good idea because of rollback and other problems.
* So when new tenant is required always start new transaction for it.
@Override
protected javax.persistence.EntityManager createEntityManagerForTransaction() {
EntityManager em = super.createEntityManagerForTransaction();
boolean refreshed = false;
String actualTenant = null;
ServerSession ss = ((EntityManagerImpl) em.getDelegate()).getServerSession();
Map sessionProp = ss.getProperties();
actualTenant = (String) sessionProp.get(PersistenceUnitProperties.MULTITENANT_PROPERTY_DEFAULT);
// don't run it if tenant didn't change
// it should be quite faster then
if ((actualTenant == null && SecurityHelper.getActiveTenantSchema() != null) ||
(actualTenant != null && !actualTenant.equals(SecurityHelper.getActiveTenantSchema()))) {
// set new tenant as property for actual session
// while refreshing metadata it will be used from actual session for new session
sessionProp.put(PersistenceUnitProperties.MULTITENANT_PROPERTY_DEFAULT, SecurityHelper.getActiveTenantSchema());
MetadataRefreshListener mrl = ((EntityManagerImpl) em.getDelegate()).getServerSession().getRefreshMetadataListener();
// metadata refresh listener is empty if it was already run for actual transaction (same entity manager)
// because it is placed in createEntityManagerForTransaction now this shouldn't happen but to be sure...
if (mrl != null) {
Map<String, Object> prop = new HashMap<String, Object>();
// metadata will be refreshed for next created entity manager
mrl.triggerMetadataRefresh(prop);
refreshed = true;
// if metadata for "old" entity manager wasn't refreshed we don't need to create a new one
return refreshed ? super.createEntityManagerForTransaction() : em;
Everything seems to work except inheritance with strategy type JOINED now. To fix that use customizer.
import org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.TenantTableDiscriminatorType;
import org.eclipse.persistence.config.DescriptorCustomizer;
import org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.ClassDescriptor;
import org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.TablePerMultitenantPolicy;
* For some reason when using table per tenant with schema discriminator isn't set good for child
* entities with inheritance JOINED strategy. It stay as SUFFIX and therefore it doesn't work.
public class InheritanceJoinedMTFixCustomizer implements DescriptorCustomizer {
@Override
public void customize(ClassDescriptor descriptor) throws Exception {
// set discriminator to SCHEMA
((TablePerMultitenantPolicy) descriptor.getMultitenantPolicy())
.setTenantTableDiscriminatorType(TenantTableDiscriminatorType.SCHEMA);
And in child entities use it like this:
@Customizer(InheritanceJoinedMTFixCustomizer.class)
public class Person extends Contact {
