Multiple Price Groups

Hi Gurus
In the master customer database, we are allowed to enter only 1 price group. If more than 1 price group is applicable to our customer, what should we do? I have this case whereby Price Group "X" and "Y" are applicable to our customer.
Thanks
Kumar

Can you explain with an example about your requirement so that it will be easy to propose a suitable suggestion.
thanks

VCenter Single Sign-On Permissions Assignment for Members of Multiple AD Groups

Hi all,
I ran across an interesting issue whilst assigning permissions using Active Directory groups within vCenter.
Environment
1 vCenter Appliance managing 2 Datacenters (1 Datacenter with 2 Clusters, 1 Cluster with 2 Hosts, 1 Cluster with 4 Hosts, 1 Datacenter with 1 Cluster containing 1 host.)
vCenter has an SSO Identity Source configured using Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication).
vCenter and all hosts are domain members of child1.parent.com.au
The Active Directory Forest contains a parent domain, let's call it parent.com.au, and two child domains child1.parent.com.au and child2.parent.com.au.
Although the Identity Source was configured for my child domain, using child domain credentials it added the parent domain and subsequently both child domains. Okay, so there are trusts, I'm okay with this. The interesting issue is yet to come.
Two Active Directory Groups were added. Deployment Admins A and Deployment Admins B.
Two vCenter Roles were created with similar names. VM Deployers A and VM Deployers B
Deployment Admins A was assigned the Deployers A role to Cluster A (Cluster, VM Folders, Datastore Folders)
Deployment Admins B was assigned the Deployers B role to Cluster B (Cluster, VM Folders, Datastore Folders)
Note: No objects overlap. All hosts, vms and datastores are isolated to each cluster.
So the next step is assign an child1 AD User to the Deployment Admins A group. As expected the user using credentials child1\user can connect to vCenter via the VI Client and see all the relevant objects. Great!
So now I assign the same child1 AD user to the second AD group Deployment Admins B. Now we wait and nothing happens. The permissions don't change. The user logs out and logs back in using the same credentials and still the permissions don't change.
So I remove the user from both AD groups and get them to log out and in and sure enough they can't.
This time I assign the child1\user account the roles as set out previously. So child1\user account is assigned to both roles in place of each AD Group. The expected behaviour is observed. As I add the second permission set, the objects become visible within the VI client.
Okay so now I remove the explicitly assigned permissions and reassign via the groups and this time I ask the user to log in via the UPN ([email protected]). Whoa! It works.
So it seems that assigning permissions for the same user in multiple AD groups across multiple roles can only be achieved when the user uses a UPN login to the VI Client.
Has anybody else found this to be the case?
If so, were you able to fix it?

Hello,
I have found this to be the case and think it is more due to SSO than AD. If you look at how you login as the 'administrator' when you first configure SSO it is in effect using UPN. I would raise this as a case to VMware and make sure they are aware of the issue. There are some issues with SSO being worked each day.

One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

Hi!
I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
For starters:
We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply
to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
1. Configured one shared mailbox.
2. Configured multiple distribution groups
3. made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory.
6. Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email.
the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox.
I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account.
I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As what
Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
DWORD: MaxNumExchange
Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)
http://blogs.technet.com/b/outlooking/archive/2012/12/24/clarification-on-outlook-2010-and-additional-exchange-account-supportability.aspx
Hope it helps.

Provisioning multiple AD Groups from a Single Privilege

Experts,
We're encountering a situation here when we provision to multiple Active Directory groups from a single IDM Role.
The scenario is this:
We have a workflow that has multiple conditional and switch tasks that result in the provisioning of users to Active Directory 2008 (mixed mode) Our workflow uses the provisioning framework and all users have been granted the ONLY privilege for the system.
The workflow will result in adding the users to multiple AD groups sometimes two AD groups that are associated with a single IDM role. The first assignment always works, the second does simply does not occur, no entry in the system or job log although IDM does show that the role has been assigned with an 'OK' status.
We've accomplished a workaround by redesigning the workflow so that only single roles are assigned at a time and using chain result OK links to move from one provisioning activity to another, but frankly, we are unsatisfied with this. IDM should be handling this much better through
I'm wondering if we have a pending value floating out there and we should just be applying the pending value at the end of every AD group add.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
In your post you mention "I'm wondering if we have a pending value floating out there and we should just be applying the pending value at the end of every AD group add"... I'm faced with a similar issue were I'm left pending values for privileges after the group is assigned.
I've imported the AD groups as privileges. I assign them without issue. But when I review the assignments I can see that each corresponding privilege assignment now has a pending value. I can not remove the privilege from the user at this point.
Have you seen this before? Any suggestions on how I can clean this up. BTW, I'm using the SAP PF basically unchanged...
Thanks!

How can I place calendars in multiple calendar groups?

I would like to use a group for each of my family members but reference some of the same calendars from multiple calendar groups. Here is an example:
Lets say I have a calendar for school, sport1, sport2, activity, family, and work
I would like the groups to look like this:
Me: family and work
Wife: activity and family
Son_1: school, sport1 and family
Son_2: school, sport2 and family
When a group is visible, that person can see the activities in which they participate. When several groups are visible, though, only single copies of shared events would appear and shared events would only have to be entered once.
Is there a way to do this or do I need to place this on the feedback page?

Multiple Price options while creation of PO

Hi SAP Gurus,
The client requirement is that to have multiple price options at the time of creation of PO.can we achieve this through standard SAP, if not any workarounds OR any development needed?If it is development please provide me some logic .

Hi,
Better go for different price for same material with validity period in condition record in t.code:MEK1. For example:
Material -----Material Price --------Validity
M1--------------230---------------------01-05-2014 to 31-05-2014
M1--------------240---------------------01-06-2014 to 30-06-2014
M1--------------250---------------------01-07-2014 to 31-05-2014
M1--------------260---------------------01-08-2014 to 31-05-2014
OR
Go for using of split valuation and maintain different price for same material with different valuation types.

How to go for multiple business group

Dear All.
This is a very common and perhaps very old question now. But I just want to check what is the common process to go through to achieve multiple business groups. We are in oracle 12.1.XX and have single business group but now looking to implement more business group for other countries in same instance. I understand most of the objects would be same and they can be reused like DFF, Locations, Lookups, Value set etc but need to focus more on RICEW components. May I request you to please share your experience on this and let me what are the mandatory steps we need to follow, like running some seeded programs, restructuring other objects, creating seprate DFF, Valueset etc.
Thank you in advance (But that dosent mean I will not thank you later on )
Avinash

Hi Vignesh,
Thanks again for your quick response..
We are not migrating employee records.. we have one business group already and we want to create new business group for newly aquired company which is in other legislation. So just want to know what would be impact on existing BG and what are the objects we can reuse. For example we need to create New responsibilities, Menu, functions, job, position, person type etc.. Similarly we can use existing location, valuesets from existing BG in our new BG. Like this we want to create a list first so that we can plan our implimanation and come up with timeline..
I hope it is clear now.
Thanks,
Avinash

Report painter:Deletion of multiple report groups

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement of deleting multiple report groups and reports created through report painter since these are no more used
I checked in options/functions available in SAP, but couldn't find any option for mass deletion of reports groups available
I understand we can use an LSMW to do this for multiple report groups however apart from this is there any function provided by SAP for deleting multiple report groups
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for the suggestion
I also couldn't find anything handy. In my case the time in manually deleting would have taken less than creating an LSMW for such one-off situation so just delete the obsolete report groups manually
Thank you,
Gaurav

Vendor master data - Single material with multiple price

Hi Gurus,
Per our set-up, we have 1 purchasing organization to handle the central procurement function for purchases to various countries/destination. As such, whenever we seek for quotation from a single vendor, the vendor will provide their price for a single/same material, e.g. ABC, with various price by locations. for example:
1. Material: ABC
- Price: $83 (EXW)
- Price: $85 (FOB, Tianjin)
- Price: $100 (CFR Port Klang)
- Price: $120 (CFR Mumbai)
- Price: $160 (CFR Jabel Ali)
Is there a way I can use any of the vendor master records (e.g. outline agreement / info records) to capture a single material having multiple price? At the same time, this infomation is available during our PO creation (e.g. via ME57).
Thanks in advance.

Dear
For Condition Type PB00, SAP has some standard requirements in Pricing Schema.For one material different location one requirement is there.But as per your requirements you need to put logic through ABAP and it will definetely work.The exact requiremnt i'm not remembering.
Just go through all the requiremnt and respect to PB00, put the requiremnt and put the logic.
Revert me for the result.
Thanks & Regards

Sliding Window Table Partitioning Problems with RANGE RIGHT, SPLIT, MERGE using Multiple File Groups

There is misleading information in two system views (sys.data_spaces & sys.destination_data_spaces) about the physical location of data after a partitioning MERGE and before an INDEX REBUILD operation on a partitioned table. In SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU6,
the script below (SQLCMD mode, set DataDrive & LogDrive variables for the runtime environment) will create a test database with file groups and files to support a partitioned table. The partition function and scheme spread the test data across
4 files groups, an empty partition, file group and file are maintained at the start and end of the range. A problem occurs after the SWITCH and MERGE RANGE operations, the views sys.data_spaces & sys.destination_data_spaces show the logical, not the physical,
location of data.

--The statement has been terminated.
If you run ALTER INDEX REBUILD before trying to remove files from File Group 3, it works. Rerun the database setup script then the code below.
-- RANGE RIGHT
-- Rerun PartitionLabSetup_RangeRight.sql before the code below
USE workspace;
DROP TABLE dbo.TestTableOut;
ALTER INDEX [PK_TestTable] ON [dbo].[TestTable] REBUILD PARTITION = 2;
USE master;
ALTER DATABASE workspace
REMOVE FILE TestTable_f3;
-- Works as expected!!
The file in File Group 2 appears to contain data but it can be dropped. Although the system views are reporting the data in File Group 2, it still physically resides in File Group 3 and isn’t moved until the index is rebuilt. The RANGE RIGHT function means
the left file group (File Group 2) is retained when splitting ranges.
RANGE LEFT would have retained the data in File Group 3 where it already resided, no INDEX REBUILD is necessary to effectively complete the MERGE operation. The script below implements the same partitioning strategy (data distribution between partitions)
on the test table but uses different boundary definitions and RANGE LEFT.

The table below shows the results of the ‘Confirm Table Partitioning’ query, before and after the MERGE.
The data in the File and File Group to be dropped (File Group 2) has already been switched out; File Group 3 contains the data so no index rebuild is needed to move data and complete the MERGE.
RANGE RIGHT would not be a problem in a ‘Sliding Window’ if the same file group is used for all partitions, when they are created and dropped it introduces a dependency on full index rebuilds. Larger tables are typically partitioned and a full index rebuild
might be an expensive operation. I’m not sure how a RANGE RIGHT partitioning strategy could be implemented, with an ascending partitioning key, using multiple file groups without having to move data. Using a single file group (multiple files) for all partitions
within a table would avoid physically moving data between file groups; no index rebuild would be necessary to complete a MERGE and system views would accurately reflect the physical location of data.
If a RANGE RIGHT partition function is used, the data is physically in the wrong file group after the MERGE assuming a typical ascending partitioning key, and the 'Data Spaces' system views might be misleading. Thanks to Manuj and Chris for a lot of help
investigating this.
NOTE 10/03/2014 - The solution
The solution is so easy it's embarrassing, I was using the wrong boundary points for the MERGE (both RANGE LEFT & RANGE RIGHT) to get rid of historic data.
-- Wrong Boundary Point Range Right
--ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
--MERGE RANGE (15);
-- Wrong Boundary Point Range Left
--ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
--MERGE RANGE (14);
-- Correct Boundary Pounts for MERGE
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION $(TableName)_func()
MERGE RANGE (0); -- or -1 for RANGE LEFT
The empty, switched out partition (on File Group 2) is then MERGED with the empty partition maintained at the start of the range and no data movement is necessary. I retract the suggestion that a problem exists with RANGE RIGHT Sliding Windows using multiple
file groups and apologize :-)

Hi Paul Brewer,
Thanks for your post and glad to hear that the issue is resolved. It is kind of you post a reply to share your solution. That way, other community members could benefit from your sharing.

'How to trigger Material determination again' when Price group changes

Hi All,
I have a requirement like this
1. I have a line item for which the material detemination is done based on condition records.
Say the order has been saved now.
2. Now, for this line item if I change the price group (Double click on line item ->Sales B), the material dermination should trigger again.
3. I know that the FM PRODUCT_SUBSTITUTION would be used to determine the material.
4. But, where exactly should I call this again?
Please let me know if there is any user exit available for this.
Thanks,
Babu Kilari

No. I have not got the solution for this. Luckily, requirement got changed. So, couldnot invest much time on this.
But, I think you need to write the code in MV45AFZZ(USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELDS_TO_KOMP). Not sure. Please check it
Thanks,
Babu Kilari

Usage of price group KONDA

Hello,
Please comment on the below usage of price group KONDA by a client
KNVV-KONDA is blank, while creating sales order with this customer, the user is manually inputting KONDA at item level. They input this because they want to classify that the material is relevant for discount and some discount is also populating in that line item. (pricing condition record maintained with some fields and price group)
Price group KONDA is meant for the customer and not for material. This way of using KONDA at item level for item level discount does not seem the “right” usage of KONDA. What is your opinion?
TW

Hi TW
If we see the fields in header and item we can see that customer based fields are there in both screens where as material based fields are only there in item level. There could be following reasons for this.
Customer is same for all items but material could be different for each item.
If we create sale order and afterwards change groups in customer/material master data it doesn't change in sale order automatically. We have to do it manually.
If we are using some field for pricing and we are not sure about its group at the time of master data creation we can add here manually.
These are some scenarios which comes in my mind and there could be many others. SAP delivers many fields that are editable in standard and we make them output only with variants in sale order for instance pricing date or payment terms. These material or customer fields could also be greyed out based on scenario or customer's requirement.

Multiple Business Groups setup

Hi experts
I am looking for an example for setting up multiple BG's (word document, ppt).
Thanks in advance

Please let us know if you are facing any particular problem. Setting up multiple business groups is similar to setting up Single business group.
If you have created a new business group in your instance, you will already have two business groups
1. Setup Business Group
2. Your own business group.
So you are already in a multiple business group scenario in your instance.
Create different security profiles for each business group.
The HR: Business Group profile has to be set at the responsibility level for each responsibility.
Hope this helps.

Multiple Business groups???

Hi,
I am having very basic question in my mind.
Why do we need to have multiple business groups if the company is working only in US and runnig same set of books?
Or what is the factor which decides definition of multiple business groups?
This question might sounds to be very basic but I am not able to find answer for it.
Regards,
Soham

Soham,
The current best practice configuration model is to use business groups only as legislative containers representing countries, and not to appear as a management reporting structure in the organization hierarchy.
Also see...
Oracle® Human Resources Management Systems
Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide (Global)
Release 11i
Part No. B14467-01
Single and Multiple Business Groups; page 2-14
However, there are reasons for setting up multiple Business Groups in the same
installation, such as the following:
You want to have a copy of your live system with example records for training or
testing purposes.
You are a holding company or a corporation with a number of subsidiary
companies. Each subsidiary has its own structures, employees, and compensation and benefit policies. If your subsidiaries are in different countries you also have to
deal with local legislative requirements.
You are acquiring a company or merging with another company, and you want to
maintain separate structures and compensation and benefits during the transition
process.

Greg
