Need information about SAP EM Configuration and Implementation

Hi,
I am new to SAP EM.I need to do Configuration for EM and Procurement visibility process.
Please provide some information on configuration of EM with examples.
Thanks,
Prasuna.

Hi
There is wealth of information available on the [Service Marketplace |https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/scm]on the standard visibility scenarios which will probably get you started. Procurement visibility scenario is one of the them and have documentations.
There are couple of points which are worth knowing that SAP Event Management
- requires configuration in both application system (ECC) and SAP EM system (SCM)
- good understanding of the function module (extractors) for sending and posting events
- well thought supply chain events (design) business would like to monitor and manage
- reactions to both expected and unexpected events (follow-up activities)
The other resource available are [SAP PRESS technical book |http://www.sap-press.com/products/Implementing-and-Configuring-SAP-Event-Management.html] and [published case studies |http://www.scmexpertonline.com/article.cfm?session=&id=4804] on the SAP EM Procurement visibility scenario.

Information about SAP PPM needed

Dear Sir or Madam,
my name is Jennifer Fassbender and I am working in the “Project Management Office” (PMO) of the research and development department (R&D) of ERCO. Our group serves as a cut surface in between the R&D and to other departments all over the company. Our team is in charge of the PLP (product launch process) which is one the leading processes at ERCO.
Currently we are using the SAP PS in our ERP system to plan and control our product development projects which belong to the PLP. We are working on a lot of different projects simultaneously, which makes a multi-project management necessary. Therefore we are thinking about implementing SAP PPM.
In addition to my job I am studying industrial engineering in part time at the University of Applied Sciences in Hagen. Right now I am writing my bachelor’s thesis. To combine study and job, the content and aim of this thesis will be something like “Development of an operational scenario to use the tool SAP PPM regarding to the design of a multi-project management within the R&D department of the ERCO GmbH”.
And this is the reason I am writing to you. I need a lot of information about SAP PPM.
Could you please be so kind and help me with the following questions:
Can you describe the (biggest) difference between SAP PS and SAP PPM?
What might be the mayor reason to implement SAP PPM?
What are the main use cases for SAP PPM?
Are there difficulties to run SAP PS together with SAP PPM?
Can you send me a detailed cost plan or license model?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Kind regards
Jennifer Fassbender

Hi Jennifer,
Answering to your questions-
Can you describe the (biggest) difference between SAP PS and SAP PPM?
In PPM, there are 2 areas, PPM-Portfolio Management and PPM Project Management. SAP PS can be compared with PPM-Project Management.
PPM-Proj, Mgmt. is mainly used for certain types of projects like Consulting, development & IT projects and User interface(UI) is very simple and user-friendly in PPM.
PS can be used in any type of projects but its full capabilities are used in capital Investment, overhead costs & customer projects. And moreover SAP PS has very good tight integration with all modules of SAP.
Overall both has it's own pros and cons. More details can be found the below links.
Which is the difference between SAP PPM & SAP PS?
2. What might be the mayor reason to implement SAP PPM?
3. What are the main use cases for SAP PPM?
Major reason could be cross-project resource planning, portfolio management for better financial & capacity planning across projects etc.,
4. Are there difficulties to run SAP PS together with SAP PPM?
By standard, SAP PPM is having integration with SAP PS. Under Portfolio management we can use any of the project managements tools(PPM-Project management, SAP PS & MS Project) for detailing the project & resource planning.
5. Can you send me a detailed cost plan or license model?
Licensing terms varies for different customers, so it is better to contact your local SAP accounts manager for details.
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Need information about interfaces and namespaces in actionscript 3.0

Hi,
I need information about actionscript interfaces and
namespaces, I'm preparing for ACE for Flash CS3 and I need to learn
about this subjects and I can not find resources or simple examples
that make these subjects understandable.
Anybody can help me!
Thanks a lot.

Interfaces (cont.)
Perhaps the most useful feature of interfaces is that you not
only can define the data type but also method signature of the
class that implements this interface. In other words, interface can
define and enforce what methods class MUST implement. This is very
useful when classes are branching in packages and team of
developers works on a large application among others.
The general syntax for an Interface with method signatures is
written the following way:
package{
public interface InterfaceName {
// here we specify the methods that will heave to be
implemented
function method1 (var1:dataType,
var2:datType,…):returnType;
function method2 (var1:dataType,
var2:datType,…):returnType;
To the previous example:
package{
public interface IQualified {
function method1 ():void;
function method2 ():int;
Let’s write a class that implements it.
If I just write:
package{
public class ClassOne extends DisplayObject implements
IQualified {
public function ClassOne(){}
I will get a compilation error that states that I did not
implement required by the interface methods.
Now let’s implement only one method:
package{
public class ClassOne extends DisplayObject implements
IQualified {
private function method1():void{
return;
public function ClassOne(){}
I will get the error again because I implemented only one out
of two required methods.
Now let’s implement all of them:
package{
public class ClassOne extends DisplayObject implements
IQualified {
private function method1():void{
return;
private function method2():int{
return 4;
public function ClassOne(){}
Now everything works OK.
Now let’s screw with return datatypes. I attempt to
return String instead of void in method1 in ClassOne:
private function method1():String{
return “blah”;
I am getting an error again – Interface requires that
the method1 returns void.
Now let’s attempt to pass something into the method1:
private function method1(obj:MovieClip):void{
return;
Oops! An error again. Interface specified that the function
doesn’t accept any parameters.
Now rewrite the interface:
package{
public interface IQualified {
function method1 (obj:MovieClip):void;
function method2 ():int;
Now compiler stops complaining.
But, if we revert the class back to:
private function method1():void{
return;
compiler starts complaining again because we don’t pass
any parameters into the function.
The point is that interface is sort of a set of rules. In a
simple language, if it is stated:
public class ClassOne implements IQualified
it says: “I, class ClassOne, pledge to abide by all the
rules that IQualified has established and I will not function
correctly if I fail to do so in any way. (IMPORTANT) I can do more,
of course, but NOT LESS.”
Of course the class that implements an interface can have
more that number of methods the corresponding interface requires
– but never less.
MORE means that in addition to any number of functions it can
implement as many interfaces as it is desired.
For instance, I have three interfaces:
package{
public interface InterfaceOne {
function method1 ():void;
function method2 ():int;
package{
public interface InterfaceTwo {
function method3 ():void;
package{
public interface InterfaceThree{
function method4 ():void;
If our class promises to implement all three interface it
must have all four classes in it’s signature:
package{
public class ClassOne extends DisplayObject implements
InterfaceOne, InterfaceTwi, InterfaceThree{
private function method1():void{return;}
private function method2():int{return 4;}
private function method3():void{return;}
private function method4():void{return;}
public function ClassOne(){}
Hope it helps.

I need some information about jre 1.5 and jre 1.6.

Hello guys,
I need some information about jre 1.5 and jre 1.6.
Suppose if i have jre 1.5 customized with "additional language support" installed in my my desktop, and later on i install jre 1.6. will this jre over write all the esisting settings which was present in jre 1.5?
In short will the version upgrades disable the features of the old Version even though the old version is present in the desktop?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

That's not a trivial step. I would write a small C/C++ program that
exercises your driver (for robustness) just to be sure it's working
right first without crashing your system.

That's correct. _After_ you got your C/C
++ test program (and USB
driver) above working, then you can convert this little test program
into a DLL or CIN, which can interface with LabView. A DLL might be
easier (slightly) to write, but the CIN will work faster with LabView
and can be designed to be reentrant. The Code Interface Reference
Manual should guide you. Remember, this is a task for an _experienced_
C programmer. You'll need to use handles to pointers into all your
dynamic arrays and such passed into LabView.
After you got your CIN or DLL written, you can use a special CIN
function node to "link" (or bind) your CIN object into LabView's VI
diagram.
SOME THOUGHTS:
There are many hardware devices already on the market today that come
with Windows 98 drivers and DLL (or even CIN) libraries that would work
immediately with LabView. Why don't you save yourself three months of
work and simply buy one of these?

NEED INFORMATION ABOUT "MAX_TEST" FUNCTION MODULE

HI ABAPERS,
I need information about "MAX_TEST" function module . this function module is used in 4.6 version , now system have been shifted to 6.0.....here in 6.0 version this function module is not prasent.can any one tell me which new function module we can use in place of this function module, without changing the functionality........
Thanks in advance
regards,
SUNIL

The module is not very sophisticated. Profficiency in Java or ABAP will be a great bonus here. There are plenty of good materials regarding XI on SDN. I suggest to start with step-by-step guides and master all basic integration scenarios
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Step-by-Step+Guides
Opportunities in industry are not bad also, cause PI is rather popular among customers. The best thing is that it fits any type of customer's business. Integration is demanded almost everywhere.

Hi Rama
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise, from a fixed location such as a department store or kiosk, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.[1] Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a retailer buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user. Retail establishments are often called shops or stores. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy.
Shops may be on residential streets, shopping streets with few or no houses, or in a shopping center or mall, but are mostly found in the central business district. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Retailers often provided boardwalks in front of their stores to protect customers from the mud. Online retailing, also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing (cf. mail order).
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase.
Most retailers have employees learn facing, a hyperreal tool used to create the look of a perfectly-stocked store even when it is not.

[edit] Retail pricing
The pricing technique used by most retailers is cost-plus pricing. This involves adding a markup amount (or percentage) to the retailers cost. Another common technique is suggested retail pricing. This simply involves charging the amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed on the product bize the manufacturer.
In Western countries, retail prices are often so-called psychological prices or odd prices: a little less than a round number, e.g. $6.95. In Chinese societies, prices are generally either a round number or sometimes a lucky number. This creates price points.
Often prices are fixed and displayed on signs or labels. Alternatively, there can be price discrimination for a variety of reasons, where the retailer charges higher prices to some customers and lower prices to others. For example, a customer may have to pay more if the seller determines that he or she is willing to. The retailer may conclude this due to the customer's wealth, carelessness, lack of knowledge, or eagerness to buy. Another example is the practice of discounting for youths or students. Price discrimination can lead to a bargaining situation often called haggling, in which the parties negotiate about the price. Economists see this as determining how the transaction's total surplus will be divided into consumer and producer surplus. Neither party has a clear advantage, because of the threat of no sale, in which case the surplus vanishes for both.
Retailers who are overstocked, or need to raise cash to renew stocks may resort to "Sales", where prices are "marked down", often by advertised percentages - "50% off" for example."Sales" are often held at fixed times of the year, for example January sales, or end-of-season sales, or Blue Cross Sale
[edit] Retail Industry
Retail Industry has brought in phenomenal changes in the whole process of production, distribution and consumption of Consumer Goods all over the world. In the present world most of the developed economies are using the Retail Industry as their vital growth instrument. At present, among all the industries of U.S.A the Retail Industry holds the second place in terms of Employment Generation. In fact, the strength of the Retail Industry lies in its ability to generate large volume of employment.
Not only U.S but also the other developed countries like U.K, Canada, France, Germany are experiencing tremendous growth in their Retail Sectors. This boom in the Global Retail Industry was in many ways accelerated by the Liberalization of Retail Sector.
Observing this global upward trend of Retail Industry, now the developing countries like India are also planning to tap the enormous potential of the retail sector. Wal-Mart,the world's largest Retailer has been invited to India. Other popular Brands like Pantaloons, Big Bazar, Archies are rapidly increasing their market share in the retail sector. According to a survey, within 5 years, the Indian Retail Industry is expected to generate 10 to 15 million jobs by direct and indirect effects. This huge employment generation can be possible because of the fact that being dependent on the the Retail Sector shares a lot of Forward and Backward Linkages.
Emergence of a strong Retail Sector can contribute immensely to the economic development of any country. With a dominant retail sector, the farmers and other suppliers can sell their produce directly to the major retail companies and can ensure stable profit. On the other hand, to ensure steady supply of goods, the Retail Companies can inject cash into the production system. This whole process can result into a more efficient production and distribution system for the economy as a whole.
[edit] Etymology
Retail comes from the French word retaillier which refers to "cutting off, clip and divide" in terms of tailoring (1365). It first was recorded as a noun with the meaning of a "sale in small quantities" in 1433 (French). Its literal meaning for retail was to "cut off, shred, paring". Like the French, the word retail in both Dutch and German (detailhandel and Einzelhandel respectively) also refer to sale of small quantities or items.[citation needed]
[edit] Retail types
According to Jim there are three major types of retailing. The first is the market, a physical location where buyers and sellers converge. Usually this is done in town squares, sidewalks or designated streets and may involve the construction of temporary structures (market stalls). The second form is shop or store trading. Some shops use counter-service, where goods are out of reach of buyers, and must be obtained from the seller. This type of retail is common for small expensive items (e.g. jewelry) and controlled items like medicine and liquor. Self-service, where goods may be handled and examined prior to purchase, has become more common since the Twentieth Century. A third form of retail is virtual retail, where products are ordered via mail, telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog, on television or on a website. Sometimes this kind of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as futurebazaar.com or Amazon.[2].
Buildings for retail have changed considerably over time. Market halls were constructed in the Middle Ages, which were essentially just covered marketplaces. The first shops in the modern sense used to deal with just one type of article, and usually adjoined the producer (baker, tailor, cobbler). In the nineteenth century, in France, arcades were invented, which were a street of several different shops, roofed over. counters, each dealing with a different kind of article was invented; it was called a department store. One of the novelties of the department store was the introduction of fixed prices, making haggling unnecessary, and browsing more enjoyable. This is commonly considered the birth of consumerism [3]. In cities, these were multi-story buildings which pioneered the escalator.
In the 1920s the first supermarket opened in the United States, heralding in a new era of retail: self-service. Around the same time the first shopping mall was constructed [4] which incorporated elements from both the arcade and the department store. A mall consists of several department stores linked by arcades (many of whose shops are owned by the same firm under different names). The design was perfected by the Austrian architecht Victor Gruen[5]. All the stores rent their space from the mall owner. By mid-century, most of these were being developed as single enclosed, climate-controlled, projects in suburban areas. The mall has had a considerable impact on the retail structure and urban development in the United States. [6]
In addition to the enclosed malls, there are also strip malls which are 'outside' malls (in Britain they are called retail parks. These are often comprised of one or more big box stores or superstores.
Non-traditional exterior of a SuperTarget, JacksonvilleLocal shops can be known as brick and mortar stores in the United States. Many shops are part of a chain: a number of similar shops with the same name selling the same products in different locations. The shops may be owned by one company, or there may be a franchising company that has franchising agreements with the shop owners (see also restaurant chain).
Some shops sell second-hand goods. Often the public can also sell goods to such shops, sometimes called 'pawn' shops. In other cases, especially in the case of a nonprofit shop, the public donates goods to the shop to be sold (see also thrift store). In give-away shops goods can be taken for free.
There are also 'consignment' shops, which is where a person can place an item in a store, and if it sells the person gives the shop owner a percentage of the sale price. The advantage of selling an item this way is that the established shop give the item exposure to more potential buyers.
The term retailer is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as with telephone or electric power.
IS Retail was original develop to meet specific needs of Retail industry where standard SD/MM cannot.
- Significant functionality difference are:
- Store specific features are built into IS Retail where as it is not in
standard SD/MM.
- Mass processing of pricing (some of the retail features were
included as standard SAP as of 4.6)
- Assortment handling is not in standard SAP
There are other differences in inventory costing/valuation etc.
Retail valuation only available in SAP Retail.
What is known in the trade as the "retail inventory method" or the "retail method" involves valuating stocks at retail, often aggregated at merchandise category or departmental level.
Both the cost method and the retail method can be used in SAP Retail.
Actually IS-Retail is a combination of MM and SD plus other funtionalities speacially developed for the retail industry such as:
Promotions
Pricing
Assortments
Clasification
Merchandise category
Seasons
Is important to mention that all the funtionality of MM and SD is avialable in SAP IS-Retail with some diferences in some transactions:
Material master data (article in retail) has some diferences.
Vendor master data.
Site master data.

Need information about t-code SCAT

Hi All,
         I need information about t-code *SCAT.*
         I dont know any thing about this transaction. I need information about how to use. What for we will use. Basis people how they can use this SCAT t-code.
         Try to help me out in solving this issue.
Regards,
Sateesh J

SCAT is used to upload the data with the transaction.The use of CATT is for bulk uploading of data. Although CATT is primarily a testing tool, it can be used for the mass upload of data. The way CATT works is like a real user actually inputting on the SAP screen.
The over-all procedure to upload data using CATT is as follows:
· Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input.
· Download of the source file template.
· Modification of the source file.
· Upload of the data from the source file.

Need information about release codes

Hi,
I need information about release codes.In which Transcation we will get it.
Please give the information ASAP.
Regards,
Chow.

Hi Naidu,
Release code is a two-character identifier with which a person responsible for processing a document can release/ approve an item of a purchase requisition, a complete purchase requisition, or a complete external purchasing document, or cancel a release.
If a link to SAP Business Workflow has been defined for the release code, the person can refuse to effect release (withhold approval), thus rejecting the item or document.
You can find the relelase codes Using the following path :
Go to Transaction : SPRO and click on SAP Reference IMG and follow the menu :
-> Material Management ->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Release Procedure ->Procedure with classification -> Setup procedure with classification
Hope this helps..
Thank you
