Xml report to print AR invoices to multiple companies

Hi,
can anyone help me to work on this issue, I need to Develop one XMLP report that prints AR invoices for multiple companies, and multiple invoices for each company.
It will be thankful, if anyone help me to come out of this issue. I need it urgently
Thanks

Hi
Are you working in EBusiness Suite or another ERP app? IF so then there are already invoice reports built out of the box that you can use quite quickly.
If not then you need to find out from your users what they want to see on the invoice, then map that to the columns in tables and then write the query to extract the data.

How to delete the multiple companies assignement of a employee in SRM

Hello Friends,
In business partner maintenance (BP), one employee assigned to multiple companies in relationship tab.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Is employee of
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Ideally one employee should assigned to one company only.
Kindly let me know how to delete the relationship.
We are using release SRM 5.0 with classic extended scenario.
The organization structure is HR Replicated.
Thanks in Advance,
Pithani Suresh

Hello Ganesh,
Thank you for providing information.
The employee is not assigned to multiple companies. The assignment is related to orgnizational unit.
In organization structure (PPOSA_BBP), the user/position is assigned to one organization unit only
More details about this issue,
we find the relationship of the user/position in BP T.code (Relationship Tab), it is showing the relationship with current organizational unit and previous organizational unit. Ideally it should be assigned to one organizational unit. Due to some inconsistency, it is still showing the previous organizational unit.
Example: Ex: User A is replicated from HR to SRM and assigned to Dept A (org unit 1) and later User A is shifted to Dept B (org unit 2) from HR Replication.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Input is BP number assigned to of the user A central person.
User u201CAu201D is employee of
BP number of org unit 1u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
BP number of org unit 2 u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Thanks & Regards,

Supporting multiple companies with JES6

I have been trying to find instructions to support multiple companies using email, calendar, and IM on a single installation of JES6 (messaging, calendar, IM, delegated admin, independent convergence, etc). I have had no luck.
The sales pitch talks a great story about scalability, so I must be missing something. Sun Docs does not have Messaging Server 7.0 yet. The wiki that the product page sends you to is incomplete. I am not sure when Sun made the decision to not require complete documentation before a product is released, but I find that frustrating.
I see that I can add multiple domains in Delegated Administrator, but this does not create separate partition areas in Messaging Server. I believe that you need to separate each company's email and calendar so that conflicts in names don't happen.
Can someone direct me to a document or tell me how to do this? Please?

I have had no luck.Log into Delegated Administrator and create a new organisation for each of the companies you wish to support. This organisation will require a domain-name e.g. somecompany.com (hence the term "hosted domain"). The users in the company then log into Messaging/Calendar/Convergence with [email protected].
The sales pitch talks a great story about scalability, so I must be missing something. Hosted/Virtual domain functionality is in use by a number of companies to provide the very functionality you refer to.
Sun Docs does not have Messaging Server 7.0 yet. There is no intention to provide static PDF based docs for communication-suite-6 products (which include MS7.0) going forth.
The wiki that the product page sends you to is incomplete.How exactly is it incomplete? Where there are differences between MS6.3 and MS7.0 they are documented on the http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/ site.
I am not sure when Sun made the decision to not require complete documentation before a product is released, but I find that frustrating.Once again, what exactly is not complete. Sweeping statements aren't really constructive. The wiki format has provided the ability to provide much quicker updates and enhancements to the documentation then was previously possible with the publish-once PDF guide mechanism.
I see that I can add multiple domains in Delegated Administrator, but this does not create separate partition areas in Messaging Server. I believe that you need to separate each company's email and calendar so that conflicts in names don't happen. You don't require separate partitions as Messaging Server and Calendar Server both use the hosted domain information in their storage e.g.
bash-3.00# ./mboxutil -lxp user/[email protected]/INBOX
msgs Kbytes last msg         partition   quotaroot mailbox path and acl
     3     240 2008/04/03 07:28 primary          5120 user/[email protected]/INBOX /opt/SUNWmsgsr/data/store/partition/primary/=user/b7/e4/=testuser@hosted%dsun%dcom [email protected] lrswipcda
bash-3.00# ./mboxutil -lxp user/shjorth/INBOX
msgs Kbytes last msg         partition   quotaroot mailbox path and acl
     6      37 2008/09/12 13:08 primary          5120 user/shjorth/INBOX /opt/SUNWmsgsr/data/store/partition/primary/=user/c4/31/=shjorth shjorth   lrswipcdaSo in the above example "testuser" is in the hosted.sun.com hosted domain and "shjorth" is in the aus.sun.com default domain. The default domain does not have the domain information appended in the path and is treated as a special case.
bash-3.00# ./cscal list [email protected]
[email protected]: [email protected] status=enabled
bash-3.00# ./cscal list [email protected]
[email protected]: [email protected] status=enabledFor calendar server, the domain of the user is appended to the UID thus providing for separate UID name-spaces for each hosted-domain organisation.

Shane.

Question about multiple companies

The customer has three companies with three different warehouses and in three languages. How would you handle this type of customer in ecommerce?

Three themes, each with its own language and catalog. Each catalog should then only have items that are sold by the company the theme represents.
Are they seperate B1 companies? If so, you will need 3 seperate instances of Netpoint and setup some kind of custom synch that will re-write the synch.config file each time there is a synch so that each company will synch with its own Netpoint website, as 5.9.x does not handle synching multiple B1 companies with multiple Netpoint instances.

Shared planning for multiple companies

Hi SB1 guys,
We have a prospect which is divided in 3 different companies.
A large part of the payroll is common for those three companies (in other word, employees from company A work also for company B & C - so they have the same user name and password in the three DB)
My question is:
"Is it possible to get a shared planning/agenda for the three companies ?"
If you don't see what I call "Planning/Agenda", it contains informations you synchronize with MS Outlook.
In this planning/agenda, I want to get informations from different companies BUT for the same users ! (as I said, ONE employee works for several companies).
In some other words, I want a common visual planning for three companies in the same time.
I search for an answer for several weeks now, someone would be really kind if he brings me an answer (even it's not possible) !
Many thanks,
David

Thanks Baskar but I've already think about this issue.
In fact, my prospect want a visual planning where the manager could see a global view of employee's planning.
Sync with MS Outlook is helpful and sufficient for "individual use", I mean you could easily obtain info of your planning from different companies in MS Outlook but it's not possible to get this planning for multiple users.
My main request is to get a visual common in SAP Business One, but not in Outlook (where it's not possible in fact)
Thanks,
David

Multiple companies in one database vs. multiple databases

Our company is going through an SAP B1 implementation. We develop\manage shopping centers, each their own lega entity, etc. To somewhat protect the financials, bank accounts, etc of each entity, we set each company up with its own database. We are currently up to 22 databases. Initially our consolidation plan relied on reports; however, the administration of the databases is more of a challenge than expected.
Does anyone have a feel for the pros\cons of consolidating these companies into one "segmented" database?
Thanks

If you have multiple legal entities / companies, I would rather recommend that you create multiple databases within the SAP Business One server. This will let you manage different users, layouts, Chart of Accounts (CoA), Business Partner codes and a host of other items that would be very difficult to do if you tried to lump them all into one company.
Of course, having to work at some form of consolidation reporting is no easy task, but I would suggest you try to standardise your CoA for all the other 22 companies as so they have the same headers / Account titles. This way, you can at least try a very basic report where you generate a TB from each company and pass it to Excel, and then work at some form of macro to draw / consol the 22 Trial Balance reports into one master copy.
If you have SDK access, you could try doing it via SDK or maybe look at other partners with consol add on's like http://www.citixsys.com/

One apple ID, multiple companies provisioning profiles

The title is quite self-explanatory and the issue is very simple... but the intricate system set up by Apple for provisioning makes it a nightmare to solve.
I am an iPhone/iPad developers and I am working for several companies each one having their company provisioning profile.
Is it possible to receive and add multiple invitations from different companies under the same account?
Thanks,
MJ

Yes.
Recieving invitations from different companies should not be a problem.
Once you have several company bindings, a developer.apple.com session works like this: Each time you log in, you can switch companies -- you'll be presented a drop-down box. During one session, it's no different than being a member of a single company. If you have the appropriate permissions, you should be able to send invitations, too.
Remember: to switch company binding, you need to log out and re-login. (At least, that's what I think.)
What's the matter with Apple's provisioning system?

Financial Consolidation of multiple companies

Good Morning Expert!
Just want to know if SAP B1 can handle financial consolidation and how to do it. Our requirement is to consolidate financials of 3 companies.
Hope to hear from you soon
Thanks.
Sandra

Hi
You need to find (or develop) and add-on that allows the MultiCompany.
One example is CitiXsys, they have a solution like that or you can try to look for another SAP partner that may provides that in your region.

GOA distribution to backend- Multiple companies

Hello,
I am distributing a GOA from SRM to ECC. There is one purchasing organization and several company codes in the backend. There is no assignment of company code to Purchasing Organization. In ECC when the IDOC is processed, the pop up to enter the company code appears and the IDOC processing fails. I can clearly see on the IDOC log that the failure is due to the pop up as the error in WE02 refers to the screen number of the pop-up. So I assigned a purchasing organization to a company code in ECC and the problem is resolved temporarily. My question is what is the best way to resolve this issue permanently?
Ideally we would not like to create multiple contracts in ECC and create a global contract in ECC. If this is not possible in ECC, what is the best way to split the GOA into one contact each for each company code ( I am aware of the BAdI for this)? What about issues like the material not extended to the plant etc in the backend?
Any insights will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bejoy Narayana

Hi Bejoy,
I had the same issue and it can be solved like this:
The Company Code is not part of the Interface for the Contract Idoc in R/3.
Use R/3 Badi BBP_CTR to derive the company code from the plant used on item
level and fill the segment for the company code on header level of the Idoc.
As there also can be the case, that there are several company codes
possible, you need to define a logic, which company code should be entered
into the Idoc Segment.
Thanks,
Claudia

Solman 7.1 sp10 ITSM multiple companies

HI
I am new to this forum.
I have to configure service desk in solution manager 7.1 sp10.
my query is:
i have to configure service desk for a group of companies. this group have 3 companies. each company has its own separate service desk currently running. they want to move to service desk of solution manager. one of these 3 companies have sap erp installed at their premises all the erp servers are connected to the solman of company 1. they want to use service desk for sap and non sap purposes.
i want to know that in this case for using service desk for non sap also do i have to configure 3 different solution managers or in one solution manager i can configure 3 companies.
if all 3 companies can be configured in one solution manager then how end user will determine on which service desk ticket can be sent?

Hello Kiran,
Currently you are not allowed to use Solution Manager shared for different sap customers ( companies), It's is possible as indicated by friend Prakhar Saxenabut you are not allowed due to usage rights.
There is a Pilot program named SMaMS Solution Manager as Managed Service where there we are testing that types of scenarios, currently for provide SAP license service as self-service to different sap customers with ITSM ( OSS message ), Maintenance Optimizer, Solution Documentaion and SAO engagement and service delivery. check that link:
Solution Manager Project to watch in 2014
Another problem for your scenario is the ise of ITSM for a non-SAP components, to do that you need to check ITSM license prince because non-SAP systems are not included normally (check with your account manager at SAP).
Technically is hard to separate data on Solution Manager, but is possible in different ways, is not easy.
If you need more information related don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Luis

Vendor across multiple companies

I have a situation 3 companies A-US, B - CH, C- ES. A vendor master is created (FI) for company A and needs to extended to company B & C. But it requires different tax number 1 (LFA1-STCD1) for company code B & C. Can this field be changed at the company code level?

Hi Julio
The field you have mentioned is General Data and is applicable at client level and hence for all company codes.
1. If your vendor is also operating in countires A, B and C, then you may create different vendor numbers with the relevant Tax Number, address info, etc. - with the right partner function - as per business requirements and as applicable
2. If you dont want to create different vendor master and just wanted to extend the same vendor for other company codes with different Tax number, then you can choose any of the unsed text field in the Company Code area (Accounting info, payment transactions, Correspondance, Withholding Tax) and maintain the Tax number there for the company codes B and C.
Best Regards

Outlook integration with Multiple Companies/Databases

We have 3 separate companies each in their own database. I know that outlook can sync with each of them individually, but does anyone have a solution to allow outlook to sync with every database without logging on to each database individually?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Tom Sylak

Tom Sylak,
I don't think your desired target would be feasible. You know, each database has different set of data. How could OI differentiate them if you got concurrent access?
Thanks,
Gordon

Combining payrolls for multiple companies

We process payroll for mutliple companies that are all under one umbrella company. We are looking at combining some payrolls that have like components to them so that we are actually processing less payrolls. On paper it works, with the Journal entry being created based on the company that the employee belongs to however, my issue is that the create auto deposit file is only creating one bank file but I want it to create a bank file based on every company within that pay cycle. Is anyone doing this? And if so, how complicated is it to set up?
Thanks
Pam

Hi Elena
Are you saying that is the way the program is designed? - no matter how many companies are within one pay cycle, only one bank file is created? Would having the bank accounts split based on company be an enhancement?
thanks
Pam
