New plan(s) bad for me ?

The new share everything plans are offering less service for more of my money. Below are my currents costs & services vs what the new plan.
I have a total of 4 lines, (2) smart phones and (2) basic phones which cost's $180/mo. on my current/old plan.
- $80 per month for talk/txt (700 min / unlimited txt).
- $10 per month for each basic phone (no data)
- $40 per month for each smart phone (unlimited data)
-vs-
The new share everything plan will cost me $220/mo. That's $40 more per month than my current plan.
- $80 per month for the unlimited txt/call & 6GB package (This based on average data usage of 3Gb/mo of data use on each smart phone)
- $30 per month for each basic phone
- $40 per month for each smart phone
The only advantage of upgrading to the new plan would be for subsidized phone pricing, in which case would cost me nothing since I would likely choose the no-cost phones. In the end this is going to cost me an extra $40/mo. for a 24 month contract wich totals $960. Another option: Instead of giving $960 to verizon, I could use that to purchase used or new phones (as needed) from some place other than verizon, and keep my current/old plan.
These phone plan prices are getting crazy, which is leading me to think seriously of other alternatives.
One that keeps coming to mind is eliminating verizon and getting prepaid phones with pay as you go minutes. The idea is to use them as PHONES and nothing else. This would save me a bundle of money. I'm thinking of vacations, dinner with friends (on me), a new car.
It's beginning to dawn on me that verizons new plans are a blessing in diguise...

Brian68,
I agree the basic line charge is what is making it worse for those that just want a phone (dumb phone).
Your reasoning that it will only cost an additional $20 is not quite the way I see it. You are forgetting that additional data will be needed for the phones. In other words I would need to up the data to 9-10GB. That's an additional $10-20 per month. So I would be going from $180/mo to $260/mo for total of $1920 over a 24 mo period. Not to mention I would likely be paying a considerable amount for the phones as the dicounted price goes down significantly as you add lines. That being the case, factor in another $500 or so bringing the total extra cost at $2420.
When you do the math the absurdity of the pricing becomes more clear.

Question about adding a line/phone to a new plan

Hey everyone I have a concern I wanted to be clear about before I upgrade my plan. I am up for a device upgrade and plan on upgrading my smartphone and my current single line plan to one of of the new share everything family plans and a new smartphone. I can get the phone I want at a different store other then verizon for a better price so Im going to do that. After that is all said and done I plan on buying and adding another new smartphone/line to my share everything account through verizon(store or online). I just want to be sure that 1.) Adding another line after the fact isnt going to be a problem fee wise or the terms of my account wise since I just upgraded my account at a different vendor and 2.) Will that new line be still eligible for a upgrade discount through verizon just like a new plan would be even though Im not adding it at the same exact time I upgrade my main phone and plan?
Also I was wondering that if..say a few months from now I want to add another new phone/line to my share everything account. Will that also be like a new plan and eligible for a upgrade discount through verizon? My 2.) question will probably answer this but I want to be absolutely sure first before I do anything. Thanks alot guys. Appreciate any input.

Every time you add a line, it is eligible for a subsidized phone. It does not matter when you do it. As far as question #1, your account is just what the terms of usage is, not the length of the contract(s). Those are determined by the individual lines. You can also change the account limits at any time (eg. increase shared data limit), but when you do, it is usually pro-rated for the remainder of your current billing month, plus 1 month in advance. It does not change any of the lengths of the lines contracts.
Does this help?

Issue in assigning new Planning Calendar for MRP.

Hello Experts
I have trouble in setting up new Planning calendar for S&OP and MRP process. Let me explain in details
Requirement is, currently I am using standard country specific Factory calendar format (monthly period) per plant. But new requirement has came up and Company wants to change beginning and end of period (monthly) -- as shown below
Current Calendar
1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014
1 Aug to 31 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
and so on..
New requirement is ( Last week of Friday is end of Period)
Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014
Sat 26 July to Fri 29 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
Sat 30 Aug to Fri 3 Oct = Period 3 - 2014
and so on..
(basic concept is to keep
4wk, 5wk, 5wk for Quarter 1
4wk, 4wk, 5wk for Quarter 2. and so on.. )
I have setup new planning calendar in MD25..
ie. min period, start of period not a working day, Calculation rule & Period etc...
then assigned new planning calendar in MM02 - MRP2 and also in MRP1 used Lot size PK... etc..
But when i Put demand in MC88.. which gives us std month format and transfer to DM, then Ran MRP but some how MRP is not creating correct Qty in planned demand as per new calender..
i.e.. 1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014 if total demand Qty for Material XYZ is : 50
I am expecting planned demand result in MRP as... Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014 - should be 50 in total.. but It's not..
Any reason? Or I am missing some settings?
Thank you in advance..
PC...

Thanks KK/Umesh
Business wants planning calendar in this format. And Fiscal Year Variant has also been set according to new calendar.
KK, Regarding MC88 there is no option to incorporate planning calendar into S&OP process. And Organisation's S&OP process is set from day one (Planning by ProdGrp/Material) so MD61 would not be a good option to use.
Umesh, regarding "start of period not a working day", I have selected "do not displace". And 27/09 and 27/12 dates are set holiday. The major issue here is: Not every 4th Sat of month is Period start day, MRP is picking new planning calendar (defined in above table) from the system But some how when transferring forecast data from planning table to demand management (MC88), system don't recognize new planning calendar and it distributes demand over weekly bucket per regular month Calendar instead of new planning calendar..
Some how I need to incorporate new planning calendar into S&OP setup somewhere, Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Signing up for a new plan with Droid 2 global

I want to sign up for a new plan (I am not a current verizon customer), switching from Tmobile. The problem is that the phone I want is the droid 2 global, which I cant get in stores until the 29th. I could order online, but I wont be at my home for the next few weeks to pick up the phone.
There is a verizon store where I am going, but I will not be able to sign up for the new plan from there (due to some un related reasons that you dont need to worry about)
My main question is, is there a way for me to sign up for verizon's services before monday the 29th, and only pick up the phone from a different store later?

What is the point in signing up for the services before you have the phone? Your current T-Mobile device will not work with Verizon. If you have a Verizon phone already, you can call in or go to the store and ask to have the device activated on month-to-month service and port your number over if you wish. You'll then have service on your Verizon phone, but no contract, leaving you free to sign a contract and get the Droid 2 at the subsidized price when and where you wish.
If you don't have a Verizon phone, you'd just be paying for service you can't use, so why not wait until the Droid 2 is available at the store you want to buy it from?

Exit or badi for me21n- for adding new field in delivery tab(Item level)

HI,
My Requirement is to add the New Field(Inspection Lot) in delivery tab in item level of me21n .
I want to know this can be done by any Exit or Badi or modifying the standard sap is the only way to do this...
Kindly help me to solve the issue..it's quite urgent , i unable to find one,i used the exit mequery1 but did not work ......
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Nagaraju,
Actually,for every T-code,SAP has provided a lot of BADIs where the customer can write their own codes depending
upon the functionality required.
In order to find the BAD for a particular T-code,go to the T-code SE24 and type in cl_exithandler and click on
Display.
You will get a list of methods in that class,double click on the Get_Instance method from the list.
you will get the code for that method.Scroll down and you will find one of the parameters "Exit Name" there.Put a
breakpoint on that function module and press F8.
In the debugging mode,double click on the Exit Name to get the value contained in it.You will see the first BADI
provided in that T-code.
Note down this and then keep on pressng the F8 and noting down the BADIs being displayed.
Now ,you will have to find out the BADI which fits your requirement.
Now,it is not required to opy that BADI into ZBADI.Instead it is better to create a new implementation for this
BADI.
Go to the T-code SE18 and see its definition.
Now,go to the T-code SE19 and create a new implementation and write the code there.
Once done,activate that implementation and the BADI also.
Now run the T-code and debug the code that you have written.You can modify the code accordng to your requirements.
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.
Regards,
Puneet Jhari.

Extend task list for new planning plant

Hi Gurus,
I have 40 task lists for a planning plant 1000. I want to extend them for a new planning plant 2000. Is there any method to do it without usnig BDC or LSMW?
Regards,
VM

Hello VM,
No it is not possible to simply extend the Task list.
You can copy the same for different planning plant. But if it is not so much necessary, Make other as Maintenance Plant rather than Planning plant.

Documentation for new Planning function types in 2004s

Hello,
We are analyzing the impact of migrating former BPS exit planning funtions to the new BI Planning function types. In fact, we are checking the SAP procedure for reusing the BPS exits from BI Planning, although I would like to know if there is some kind of procedure or documentation (I have already read the documentation in Business planning developer guide) for a quick reimplementation in BIP.
Thank you for your help.

BADI for planning PRT with SNP

Dear Experts ,
I am facing some problems with PRT planning .
I need to send to SNP suboperation from main operation that is using PRT.
How do I plan PRT with SNP PDS ?
How the standard PRT works with SNP?
For PPDS i am using BADI CUSLNTRTO_ADDIN .... is there any specific BADI for SNP ?
Hope some one can help me ....
Nice Regards
Mauricio

I believe, 10 days are because of stock transfer horizon.
I am just guessing over here, in case of Heuristics, you must be planning finished product only.
While CTM plans for entire supply chain. CTM may not have found supply available for semi finished product and is trying to procure it. Hence, distribution receipt is getting created after Stock transfer horizon.

Unable to create Database for new planning Application

Hi all,
I have Created a New planning application on Planning 11.1.1.3 using workspace.
When i'm trying to create a database through administration -> Manage Database , im getting error saying
com.hyperion.planning.planning.HspCubeRefreshInProgressException: Cannot complete your request because the database is being refreshed.
I tried Unlocking the application, using HspUnlockApp.cmd and it is returning a error, and im also unable find the HSP_LOCK Table
Please let me know ur suggestions
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: Rao on Aug 8, 2010 8:57 PM

Hi,
There is definitely a table called HSP_LOCK in the planning applications repository, are you sure you are looking in the correct place.
Anyway there is also a utility (HspUnlockApp) in the \planning\bin directory that should unlock the app and will save you having to mess around with any tables, more details :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch04s02.html

User exit or BADI for recruitment

Hi,
I am new to HCM, can you give me user exit or badi for recruitment.
Requirement - i have developed an infotype which i am updating through BSP, while the custom infotype is updated it should simultaneously update some of my Z tables. Hoping for positve replies earliest.
Thanks in advance:-
Santosh

Hi,
InfotypeThe data fields of HR master data, time management and recruitment are grouped logically into information types or infotypes for short.
Examples of infotypes are "Family/Related Person", "Organizational Assignment, "Basic Pay".
The following naming conventions apply to infotypes:
Infotypes 0000 to 0999 are used for HR master data
and sometimes for applicant data
Infotypes 1000 - 1999 for organizational management
Infotypes 2000 - 2999 for time data
Infotypes 4000 - 4999 for applicant data
Infotypes 9000 - 9999 for customers
Function character of step
This controls for which types of processing (create, change and/or delete a data record) a dynamic action should be carried out.
The processing type is indicated by a two-digit numeric value. These values can be added up; in other words, you can enter several processing types for each infotype, subtype or field. A dynamic action can also be carried out independent of the current processing type.
00 for Independent of the current function carried out
02 for Change
04 for Create
06 for Change and create
08 for Delete
10 for Change and delete
12 for Create and delete
Examples
If you enter 06, an action is carried out if the specified infotype was created or changed.
If you enter 00, an action is carried out irrespective of whether the specified infotype was created, changed or deleted.
Variable function part
The variable function part, which depends on the indicator for step, can have the following meaning:
P - Plausibility checks
You can enter values for specific infotype fields. Field names must be entered in full. Literals and constants can serve as comparison values. These must be enclosed by inverted commas. Variables can also be used.
The old value of a field can be used for comparison; the field name must be preceded by PSAVE-.
If fields of other infotypes are used for comparison, these must be stored in the module pool of the current infotype.
The following comparison operators are supported:
= equal to,
< less than,
<= less than or equal to,
> greater than
>= greater than or equal to and
<> not equal to.
Consecutive checks must be linked by a logical AND. Logical OR links must also be indicated by a /X.
Note:
Note that all checks with OR links must have a /X.
If the result of the comparison operation is not "true", then the following commands (I, F, W etc.) are skipped over until a field is reached or a new comparison operation takes place.
Examples
Infotype Field ..... Ind. Variable function part
0007 STAT3 P P0007-STAT3='0'
0007 STAT3 P PSAVE-STAT3='1'
The step is taken if the value in the P0007-STAT3 field changes from 1 to 0.
0007 P P0013-KLKZ1<>'0'/X
0007 P P0013-ALVKZ<>'0'/X
0007 P P0013-RVKZ1<>'0'/X
0007 P P0013-RVNUM=SPACE
The first three conditions are linked by an OR; at least one of these conditions must be met. Condition 4 must always be met.
The step is taken if the following holds true:
P0013-KVKZ1 not equal to 0 or P0013-ALVKZ not equal to 0 or P0013-RVKZ1 not equal to 0, and P0013-RVNUM empty.
I - Maintain infotype record
Enter the step, infotype, subtype, object ID, start and end dates of the record and an indicator which defines whether the step is to be run in the background. The possible actions are INS, COP, MOD, and DEL.
Use commas to separate selection criteria just like the separator in the matchcode. If an entry is missing, the system inserts a comma.
Separate the indicator for suppressing dialog from other entries by a slash D (/D).
Constants, such as those for subtypes, are not enclosed in inverted commas.
Variable entries are also permitted. Fields containing such values must be put in brackets.
Examples:
Infotype Field .... Ind. Variable function part
 .... I INS,19,01/D
Step: Create a Dates record, subtype 01, run in the background
 .... I DEL,14,M559
Step: Delete Rec. Payments/Deds. record with subtype (wage type) M559.
0007 .... I INS,8,,,(P0007-BEGDA),(P0007-ENDDA)
Step: Create a Basic Pay record (0008) without subtype and object ID. The start and end dates are the same as those in the current Planned Working Time record (0007); specify these two fields only if they are filled because the dynamic action was triggered by this infotype.
W - Default values for new record
Literals or variables are used as default values.
Set the defaults for the infotype, subtype, object ID, start and end dates using an I step and not a W step.
Do not set defaults for Q fields of an infotype because the values for these fields are derived from the corresponding P fields.
Examples
Infotype Subtype ..... FC Ind. Variable function part
0021 2 04 I INS,0015,M430
0021 2 04 W P0015-BETRG='10000'
When a Family/Related Person record (0021) record with subtype 2 (child) is created, an Additional Payments record (0015) with a default amount of 100.00 is created.
V - Cross-reference to another step
Here, you can combine fields to groups. The variable function part contains the value in the field which follows the "field" column. Steps which are specified only for the following field are also triggered for each of the other fields.
Examples
Infotype Field ..... FC Ind. Variable function part
0016 PRBZH 06 V PRBZT
0016 PRBZT 06 I DEL,0019,01/D
Infotype 0019, subtype 01 is deleted in the background when the field PRBZT or PRBZH in infotype 0016 is changed or created (function code 06).
The following entries are equivalent:
0016 PRBZH 06 I DEL,0019,01/D
0016 PRBZT 06 I DEL,0019,01/D
F - Call a routine
You can call internal (module pool) as well as external routines.
If you call external routines, type the program name in brackets after the routine name. Do not specify 'using' parameters. When calling an external routine, all data must be declared in a common part. You can use the fields of structure RP50D to return values from the routine. These are not used in the standard system and can only be populated via the routine and then can be used for defaults (W-Commands).
This allows customer-specific routines to be formulated with all the above steps.
Example 1:
Infotype Field ..... Ind. Var.function part
0016 PRBZT F PROBATION
0016 PRBZT I INS,19,01
0016 PRBZT W P0019-VTRMN=PRBEND
Module pool MP001600 contains the PROBATION routine. This routine uses the entries in the fields P0016-PRBZT and P0016-PRBEH to determine the end of the probation period which it stores in the field PRBEND.
The system creates a new 'Dates' record with the reminder date = PRBEND.
Example 2:
Infotyp ..... Ind. Var. function part
0001 F GET_DATE(ZPUDYN01)
0001 I INS,19,01
0001 W P0019-VTRMN=RP50D-DATE1
The GET_DATE routine in program ZPUDYN01 calculates a date and enters this date in the RP50D-DATE1 field via "TABLES RP50D" in ZPUDYN01. This date can be user-defined in GET_DATE: if necessary, user-defined infotypes can be read afterwards.
M - Send a mail
Enter the name of the feature which defines the characteristics of the mail.
Example
Infotype Field ..... Ind. Var.function part
0001 SACHP M M0001
A mail is sent when the field SACHP is changed. The characteristics of the mail are defined in feature M0001.
In the standard system, feature M0001 is provided as a model. The documentation on feature M0001 explains how to define the characteristics of a mail.
ADDITIONAL HINTS
If you use a date as a constant, enter it as YYYYMMDD (YYYY=year, MM=month, DD=day).
The table strings T001P, T503 and PSPAR are filled with the values which are valid on the record start date.
The old values of the infotype are stored in the field string PSAVE. The structure of this string is the same as the Pnnnn structure (nnnn=infotype). The structure is filled with (valid) values only when the delete, change and create functions are used.
Please read Create dynamic actions in the Implementation Guide.
Regards
Bernd
