Need to reduce COGS and increase WIP Material

We are using Inventory module along with Project costing
Inventory material is issued to Project with WIP Material Dr and Inventory Cr (Qty 10 and amount 100)
The transaction is imported to Projects using PRC: Transaction Import
In Projects, the transaction is adjusted using Tools > Recalculate Cost/Revenue. Run PRC: PRC: Distribute Usage and Miscellaneous Costs
It reverses original transaction as WIP Material Dr and Inventory Cr (Qty -10 and amount -100) and creates a new transaction as COGS Dr and Inventory Cr (Qty 10 and amount 100) using AA rules
This way, we are transferring WIP Material to COGS
Now, after doing above transaction if we have to transfer Qty 2 in WIP Material and keep only 8 in COGS, what is the process we can use?

Hi Dina, John,
Thanks for your replies. Let me explain
When we issue material from Inventory to Project, the transaction imported to Project is WIP Material Dr to Inventory Cr (whole 10 items have moved out of Inventory)
In Projects, when we adjust this transaction, we get
WIP Material Dr to Inventory Cr (-10)....this is automatic reversing entry
COGS Dr to Inventory Cr (10)......this is based on AA rules
Dina: We have set our AA rule to get above positive transaction (Misc cost account is COGS and Misc cost clearing account is Inventory). It is helping us to knock-off reversing Inventory transaction. Also, Misc Cost clearing account does not support AA rule having Project or Task as a parameter. so, to that extent it matches with Inventory Cr transaction generated by Inventory module
Now, out of these 10, 2 have to remain in WIP Material (since those 2 are not eligible for revenue). Per your suggestion, if we do reversing entry in Inventory of -2, then we are brining the items into Inventory (which is not the case)
Hope the scenario is clear now. Let me know how to get this transaction. Per Dina's suggestion, we are trying to create a new transaction (by setting Burden transaction AA rules in Projects only) as follows:
WIP Material Dr to Inventory Cr (2)
COGS Dr to Inventory Cr (-2)
It will increase WIP Material by 2 and reduce COGS from 10 to 8.

Are there any programmatic means of reducing paging and increasing efficiency of insert/updates?

We have a multi-terabyte database which daily receives tens of thousands of records to insert or update. Most online advice on reducing memory paging covers server memory options and dynamic memory management techniques.
Are there any tested programmatic or database design techniques that could also be explored to increase efficiency?
Thanks,
Tom

> How long is it taking now to process this workload?
About four hours. The record data is inserted/updated across multiple related tables.
Across about how many tables?
Four hours seems a bit long for 100k rows to merge, say half updates and half new inserts (and whatever you do about deletes, maybe treat them as slowly changing dimensions), but my first move would be to just treat it as an optimization question and use
the profiler to get a list of the longest running and most expensive queries, and see if they can be individually improved.
Just basic stuff - do you handle the rows one at a time and commit for each one, or are the processes done relationally and with one commit per batch?

Need Leopard install discs and then wipe and reinstall for sale.

I have a 2009 MBP that I need to wipe but I don't have my original discs. Only the Snow leopard upgrade disc. How can I wipe it clean and reinstall an OS?

Yes. It is meant to upgrade from an older version of OS X but it contains the full install of Snow Leopard. At least the 2 I have do. Does it look like this?

Tracking of wip material in externally processed operation

Hi All,
As part of production process, most of the operations would be processed internally in the manufacturing plant and some of the operations would be
performed by vendor at his own premises (outside the manufacturing plant). Material will be called as WIP (work in process) material if it completes some of the operations (two operations completed out of four operations) in production process without forming its final product shape
WIP (work in process) material will be sent out to vendor against externally processed operation in production order. We’ve a business requirement to track the WIP (Work in Process, No inventory yet in system) material status details such as when was the WIP material shipped out to service provider by purchasing department or returned back to production floor from stores after receiving from vendor for externally processed operation in production
order
The scenario is explained below and the process in SAP would be as follows.
1. Production order would be created for
respective header material (semi-finished/finished) with required quantity with five operations to be processed, for example: OP10 (turning), OP20 (drilling), OP30 (milling), OP40 (shaping), OP50 (powder coating). OP10, OP20, OP40, OP50. would be processed internally in the shop floor of the manufacturing plant
2.After finishing the internal processing at OP10 and OP20, Operation no 30 (OP30-milling) for the respective header
material would be processed externally by sending the partially processed part(WIP) to vendor outside the manufacturing plant. In SAP, the partially processed part doesn't have any material code and will not be updated in the inventory and will be treated as WIP (work in process) and automatic purchase requisition for external processing through production order is generated as follows
For OP30 Milling (Externally processed operation), from PP module perspective, we would be maintaining a control key which supports external
processing in the Operation 30 (OP30, external processed operation - An externally processed operation is not carried out within own organization, but is assigned to a vendor, who then does the work) with relevant information such as material group, purchase group, description of operation, cost element to track costs in the production order.
When the respective production order is saved, system creates a purchase requisition for external processed operation 30. We can see
the number of the purchase requisition on the external processing tab of operation details screen of OP30 in SAP Production order.
Purchasing department generates a purchase order against the automatic purchase requisition generated in production order, which informs the
vendor which service is required.
With reference to the purchase order – service oriented, the WIP material (no material code exists in SAP) is sent out to vendor. After the material has been processed, the vendor delivers the material back to manufacturing plant. When a goods receipt against purchase order is posted at manufacturing plant, the system displays the received quantity on the external processing tab of operation details screen of the operation - OP30 in production order and also displays in order information system reports. It also possible to track the cost incurred for external operation. However, Goods receipt against production order does not cause an increase in the quantity and value of the warehouse stock of header material of production order.
The above mentioned process is not a subcontracting process - where in we send raw materials and receive semi-finished/finished materials from vendor
3. The respective partially processed part (WIP) received from vendor is sent to shop floor to complete the rest of the process
in OP40 (shaping) and OP50 (powder coating).
4. After OP50, the respective header material (semi-finished/finished) of the production order will be received (goods
receipt against production order) as inventory in respective storage location.
With reference to the above process, we can track the status of receipt of WIP material from vendor after processing at his premises;
however, we can’t track when WIP material ( after completing processing at OP20) was sent out to vendor for external processing by purchasing department and when WIP material was returned back to production shop floor for further processing at OP40 after receiving from vendor by stores.
Please provide your feedback for the possibility to track the details of WIP material (no material code exists in SAP system) sent out to
vendor and received back at shop floor from stores for external processed operation of production order
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Process what ever you have explained is the right process with respective to operation wise subcontracting as per SAP Best practice. As you rihtly said in operation wise subcontracting PR is created with any material code. Once PR is created after PO and GR actual cost of that particular operation will be seen on the order. I believe sub contact operation after GR can be confirmed through confirmation transactions. Since it is subcontract operation specfic to peration seperate inventory is not tracked instead cost is reflecting directly on order
If you to want to track the inventory of the intermdiate product then you need to have a seperate material code for intermediate product (Eg A) received after second operation and do seperate subcontacting PR for seperate new material (Eg B) by issuing the intermediate material (Eg. A). Upon receivng GR for PO inventory will be updated for the new material (Eg B).This new material can be issued to your final product which has operation 0040 and 0050. Here two different material codes will be required.
Else follow the suggestion given by expert Caetano.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

Reducing images and pixelation

Please see the attached image with this post. I imported a clean looking high-res jpeg into Flash CS4. Then using properties, I reduced it with the position and size function. I reduced it by half. When I do this, the image is not clean and sharp any more but pixelly. In the image the arrow points to the reduced image on the stage and when previewed. Also, you'll see the size numbers display too.
If I need to reduce images and logos like this, is there a better way to do this so the image looks sharp when reduced? I am only interested in knowing how to do this using the "tools" not actionscript.
Thanks.

Thanks for all of your replies. I guess what I really need to know is - if you have a BMP of vector of a logo, and you want to "fly it in"or out, obviously you can do this on the timeline by using the size tool in properties.
Is this the best way to do it and still keep the image looking good without it getting pixelly? And of course can be it done without AS?

HT201210 I updated my 4s over 3g to ios 7.1 it took forever and said connect to itunes. It said it was in recovery mode & needed to be restored but would wipe all content. I have never made a backup and can't loose pics of my kids birth and birthdays...

So tonight I updated my 4s over 3g to ios 7.1 it took forever and said connect to itunes. It said it was in recovery mode & needed to be restored but would wipe all content. I have never made a backup because my computers hard drive crashed (luckily the pics were on the phone) and now after updating like apple said I should it wants me to wipe my phone... I can't loose pics of my kids births and birthdays... I tried the holding buttons and letting off to exit recovery mode with no success... I don't know what to do but I swear if apple makes me loose the priceless pics of my kids I will never buy any apple device ever again... and I will make sure no family or friend ever does either... there has to be a way somehow.. some data recovery some program... I dunno if tinyumbrella can exit it for me without hacking or jailbreaking (which I don't dare/want to do) but i need a solution. I have researched this for hours and hours with no solution so far. If I have to pay $$ for it fine I will but after I recover my data that way I will be going to samsung... anyone with a solution would be greatly appreciated... any solution...

that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

Hello,
As far as I know, you can use the same RFC destination already available in ECC to SRM to replicate materials.

I now need to reduce disksize of bootcamp partition. Q is how?
Parallels does not allow this function as I have checked with them

I don't know of any way to do that without removing it completely, using the Boot Camp Assostant program again, or maybe by using some third party software. But I have no idea what that third paerty software is.
Simply fact is once you create a BCA partition you really can't change it or your OS X partition and expect the Windows side to still work.

Reducing the Freight cost on material value for undelivered material

Hi Experts,
Summary : The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material. The freight transport is allowed an under tolearance of 0.5% on the material to be supplied. If the delivered material quantity breaches the 0.5% under tolerance then amount at 1.5 times the cost of material for the shortage is to be deducted from the transporter. A dummy GR will have to be prepared for the undelivered quantity for which we do not want the freight cost to be loaded. The details scenario is mentioned below :-
We have to make a Purchase Order with material code say ABC for procured of some material. Suppose we make a Purchase Order for 100 nos. at a Unit Price of Say Rs. 10/- for Material Code ABC on say Vendor M/s XYZ. A freight condition is maintained in the Conditions Tab and suppose the Freight is Rs. 10 per unit of the material.
While preparing the Goods Receipt through MIGO, in the Freight Tab we select say freight vendor say M/s PQR against the freight condition and post the goods receipt.
While doing Invoice Processing in MIRO, when we enter the combination of Purchase Order and Planned Delivery Cost the system will populate the vendor codes of both the supplier of material and the transporter. On selecting the transporter the freight amount will populate against which the invoice of the tranporter can be processed.
In the Vendor Master of M/s XYZ GR-Based Invoice Verification is activated.
The vendor is allowed an under tolerance of 0.5% (i.e. the vendor should deliver at least 99.50 nos. of the Purchase Order). If the vendor delivers 99.50 or more then there will be no deduction in the freight charges.
But suppose the vendor delivers only 99.4 nos. of the quantity. Then we will prepare the GRIR for 99.4 nos.only. But while processing the MIRO we need to deduct 1.5 times the value of the material from the freight amount for the shortshipped quantity, i.e.
0.1 no (99.5 u2013 99.4) X Rs. 10/- * 1.5 = Rs. 1.5 are to be deducted from the final payment from the freight amount of the transporter.
The material supplier will have to be paid in full 100 nos. of quantity and will raise an invoice for 100 nos. A dummy GRIR for the 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will have to be prepared for processing the invoice for the 100 nos. of the material supplier and a dummy issue for 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will be prepared to remove them from the system.
Hence the freight cost for this 0.6 nos. of undelivered material will also go into the cost of the material and increase the MAP by that amount. Also the goods issue Cost will also have the effect of the freight cost.
We do not want to load the freight cost for the undelivered material in the value of the material.
Can any one please suggest a solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.
AJ.

Hi
A PO Will be raised for full quantity of material say 100 nos.
The material supplier vendor needs to be paid for full quantity of material.
A freight vendor is maintained at the time of GR for material against the freight condition maintained in the Po.
The freight vendor facilitates the delivery of the material from the vendor to the purchaser for which he is given an under tolerance limit of 0.5%. Any delivery below this tolerance limit, freight amount to the effect of 1.5 times the per unit rate of material x short fall below 0.5% tolerance will be deducted from the freight amount.
A dummy grir will have to be prepared for the short delivered quantity for processing the invoice for the full quantity of the purchase order, as the vendor is going to raise the invoice for full purchase order quantity. The client does not want to load the freight cost of the undelivered quantity on the material value as it will wrongly show the MAP of the material. This shortshipped material will be issued to remove it from the system and the stock will remain for the delivered quantity only. The vendor is subject to gr based invoice verification.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance.
