Organisational Strcuture

Dear All
Have a query which I have put down in the form of an example below. Would appreciate if you can help in this regard.
There is one Company Code (say 1000), under which there are three Branches (say Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore). Management desires to generate separate financial statements (FS) for all these Branches as well as for the Company Code.
Further, each branch has certain Project sites which are into various types of construction related projects. Management also desires to generate separate financial statements for these project sites as well so that direct costs related to these projects are captured and working capital requirements for these projects can be ascertained in the separate FS (for internal reporting purposes).
In addition to the above, Management also desires to review the results of operation State-wise (say Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, etc). Further, there are three segments applicable for Segment Reporting purpose viz., Segment A, Segment B and Segment C. Management would like to view the FS of these segments too.
Query:
How can the above requirements be placed in the organizational structure in relation to FICO considering the various options available such as Business Area, Profit Centre, Segment, etc. Say for eg: The various projects can be assigned a Profit Centre and each Profit Centre can be linked to a particular Segment. Each Profit Centre can further be grouped under Profit Centre Group (PCG) viz. Bangalore, Delhi and Kolkata. Further, Bangalore, Delhi and Kolkata can also be maintained as Business Areas.
Would be grateful if, anyone of you can come out with the best Organizational Structure suitable to the above needs (or various options that can be considered).
Criterion:
Company Code can only be one that is 1000
Other Criterions:
Branches                   1) Delhi                (Consolidated at Co Code 1000)
         2) Kolkata   (Consolidated at Co Code 1000)
         3) Bangalore   (Consolidated at Co Code 1000)
Projects                   1) Project A   (related to Branch Bangalore only)
         2) Project B   (related to Branch Bangalore only)
         3) Project C   (related to Branch Bangalore only)
         4) Project D   (related to Branch Delhi only), etc
States         1) Karnataka
         2) Tamilnadu
         3) Maharashtra
         4) AndhraPradesh, etc
Profit Centre Groups   1) Delhi
         2) Kolkata
         3) Bangalore
Profit Centres      1) Project A   (related to Segment A)
         2) Project B   (related to Segment A)
         3) Project C   (related to Segment B)
         4) Project D   (related to Segment C), etc
Segments      1) Segment A
         2) Segment B
         3) Segment C, etc

Hi Babu
In my Case, creating several Company Codes may make the structure more complex. I do not want to complicate the Org Structure due to this. The Entity 1000 is just one single Legal Entity and has been assigned just one Company Code. Can we not group the Profit Centres and form a Profit Centre Group say Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, etc. But just one more question linked to this, can we generate seperate Financials at the Profit Centre Group Level in ECC 6.0?
Further, Segments are as defined by me and all the rest seems Ok. Only thing is for State-wise reporting. So in that case,can we make the States as Business Area?
Adding to the above, under the new GL concept in ECC 6.0, Profit Centre and Segment are considered to be better reporting tools at the financial statement level and not Business Area. Can you tell me why BA is not a preferred characterisitcs anymore in ECC 6.0 (For eg: due to period end processing ....>> any more reasons ?)
Do you still have any other better org structure? Your inputs would be valuable. But only one Company Code please.
Thanks
Abhishek Kumar

TS3252 Can anyone please point to any articles, discussions, videos ... describing how to migrate an existing Aperture 3 library built on a home server (Netgear NAS Nv+V2) to an attached iMac (27in using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8)?

All images would still remain as referenced files on the NAS. (There are no managed files for my setup).
Thanks so much
David

Thank you Léonie.
I will follow your recommendations for the library migration and report back. Thanks so much for your help!
At this stage I am aiming to keep all my images as referenced files on the NAS. Apple Supprt have advised me this should be quite OK - and I already have more images than will fit on the iMac. All our data for all our computers here at home use the NAS as the only storage. We are in the process of builing centralised off site archiving and backup, which is made a lot easier with all data being one centralised place - ie the NAS. It also means we can easily view slide shows on our big TV via DLNA just using the TV's remote control - using the same referenced image files (or exports if they have been adjusted with Aperture). I can also share photos easily straight from the NAS as my own private cloud with no cost or restrictions. (http://www.readynas.com/?p=5370). I do like the way Aperture does not tie one to the organisational strcuture of the referenced filing - so one is free to use all the advantages of Aperture's project, album, metadata systems ets. I am aiming to continue this way unless there is some change that causes me not to.
Once a few niggles about permissions across our home network were resolved, I have had no problems with both the library and referenced image files being on the NAS. The casual user would think the iMac was "it" for everything stand alone ... (unless the ethernet cable was puttled out of the back of the iMac!). Nonetheless I will take Apple Support's advice and place our ever growing single library file on the iMac following the 'precautionary principle'.
I will post again with my results soon.
Cheers
David

ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

Organising/Saving downloads to folders

Hi there,
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it cumbersome organising and saving downloads to specific saved folders, particularly subfolders, in Mac? It seems I can't do it in less than 2 or 3 steps, as one has to save to the Downloads folder or a major folder first before being able to save to another subfolder. Even if I've created a folder specifically for an item, if I download something from the internet or receive something from email, I can't save directly into the new folder I created...it has to go into either the Downloads folder or one of the major folders rather than a subfolder. Is there anyway around this? It's pretty straightforward in Microsoft, not sure why it's not in Mac.
Thanks

If you're using Safari, then with many web sites you can control-click on the download link (right-click if you have a multibutton mouse, or whatever button you've defined for contextual menus) and select the "Download Linked File as" command and save the file wherever you wish. Other browsers will probably have a similar command though the text may differ slightly. If the web site has a special download script, then it will probably download only to the predefined Downloads folder, but this would also be the case in Windows.

In Organise Bookmarks/Search I want to move a search result bookmark into a different folder, but it "copies" rather than "moves" - how can I "move" it?

Having got a list of bookmarks as the result of a Search in "Organise Bookmarks", I want to move one of the resulting bookmarks to a different folder.
If I move the bookmark into a folder on the left hand pane - it copies it.
If I hold the shift key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold the control key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold both the control and shift key down, the icon does change from a "+" sign to an arrow, but - you guessed it - it still copies it.
All I want to do is a simple move!
I'm probably doing something daft. Please let me know what it is!
I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 if that's of any relevance.

Hello mara1618, go from Firefox button > Bookmarks, touch the folder and when expand all folder bookmarks, drag the bookmark you want to another folder.
thank you

Changing the Hierarchy of File organisation in iTunes Media.

Hi All,
Am sure many are facing this issue that i have, from what posts I've seen so far.
It's the issue of having sorted or organised your music with iTunes, and when you need to move songs to your phone or back up external HArd Disk, we need to move it in the EXACT Same structure in which iTunes has them organised.
Let me explain:-
My Current Itunes Media Folder list is sorted by the Artist > Album > *.mp3
I have a huge collection of Music across 4 Languages, and there are possibilities that the same Artist could have sung a sung in 2 different Languages.
So at times when I open an Artist's Folder i can see two sub folders for Language.
If say, I wanted to have a Folder with only songs belonging to a particular Language, How do i achieve that? (I have my Library Categorised with ALBUM as Lang1, Lang2, Lang3) etc, that was meaningful to me than having the Album or Movie Name.
Ideally i would want ALL songs in a Particular language to be under ONE Folder, currently iTunes doesnt do that, it creates multiple folders with Artist Name and stores the song under that particular Folder name of the Artist. Again another headache, If lets say i have a song sung by Artist1 and Artist2 together, then again thats a new folder!
Reason Im asking this is because I migrated ALL my music from Windows to a Mac and spent considerable time, organising them by language (using the Album Tag), and now if i need to do a back up or Re Sync my Back up and my itunes library im having a tough time.
I would want an option where in, I can have on SINGLE FOLDER which will be my master DUMP of all my music not categorised by Folders or yes maybe folders at Language Level.
Music>Language(Or Genre) > *.mp3 - This is the structure I'm wanting to achieve, given the fact that my current most upto date Library is the itunes library, how do I do that, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Let's get backup sorted to start with. If you use the scheme outlined in this user tip then, as long as all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside the main iTunes folder, the backup copy can act as a fully functioning library ready to sync with any of your devices. Backup is easy because the software scans and adds any new or updated files. Restoring is either everything following a complete disaster, or replacing the album/artist folder deleted in error to the matching path, so again not too tricky.
The scheme above works whether you let iTunes organize the media or not, but it should all be inside the iTunes Media folder if your library is to be portable and work from any path. If you're using iTunes for managing media it really doesn't matter where the files are as long as it can find them and you can back up. If, however, you really want to impose some other structure on your files you can take my script ConsolidateByMoving and modify it so that it moves files to your personal preference instead of where iTunes would normally put them. You could also use the Auto-Organize from Tag features in MediaMonkey, or some other third party tool, but then you would need to fix broken links or remove and reimport the media, losing ratings, playlists, play counts etc.

Two purchasing organisations for one user

Hi Experts,
We are running SRM 4.0, extended classic scenario with a large international setup.
I have an issue with purchaser that need to be able to shop for two different pur. orgs. in two different company codes (A & B).
I have added both A & B in the Company Code attribute for the user.
And I have made both the local purchasing groups for A & B responsible for the purchaser.
When I create a SC I can select whether to use Company code A & B and I can select the matching Purchasing Group. When I finish the shopping cart the order is created in SRM with correct the Local Purchasing Organisation which the Pur. Group I chose belongs to.
But when it is tranfered to R/3 it is allways assigning pur. org. A. (also if the order in SRM has local pur. org. B). This results in a error, if the purchase wants to make a purchase for Company B.
Is it not possible in SRM to able to chose more than one backend pur. org.?

Hej igen, Anders.
I don't suppose you have found a solution here?
What I was thinking is, that you should try using the GUID of the purchase order from SRM and use it in the function module BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC_V2 to test which data are getting sent from SRM to R/3. You know you can find the GUID of the PO from transaction BBP_PD with BUS2201, and this GUID is the only thing needed to test the function module. This FM is sending your shopping cart/PO data from SRM to R/3, so if you can debug this to see that here the p org is correct, you would know that the error occurs in R/3.
On the other hand you could also see in BBP_PD for the purchase order in SRM if the p org is already wrong here?
Cross buying is possible, so hopefully you get to find your error. Otherwise post a reply here, we'll figure something else out.

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

How best to organise family apple ids with one master ID for procurement

Kovic,
Set up Family Sharing. Make yourself the Family Organizer. Enable "Ask to Buy" for each of the members. See documents below for more details.

How to organise the library best for workflows?

I need some help to set up my library propperly. I'm using Aperture for a year now and the organisation of my first major project was a bit of a mess and I lost control. I had a folder as top level, then a Project (box) containing folders and smart folders. I wanted to work with keywords only but that didn't work out.
Now I have an even more complex project and I want to go back to a workflow based structure. But it seems that the boxes, folders and albums aren't quite designed for this kind of organisation. This is what I actually want to do:
– Top level Project name e.g. Seasons
– Sub-projects /divisions e.g. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (note that a photo can only be in one category)
– Workflow sections where photos are moved according to their state of progress, e.g. Import, Editing, Review, Published (again a photo can only be/show in one location)
This is how I would have liked to do it:
1. A folder or box as top level called Seasons
2. Four boxes or albums as sub-divisions for the seasons
3. Give every step of the workflow an album or folder (like sections to move through)
Now this is the obstacle I'm facing:
1. I can't put boxes in boxes
2. I can't put photos in folders
3. I can't move photos from one album to another (they need to be deleted separately in the old folder)
I have read about how these elements are designed in the other threads. But I havent yet found a way how to use them the best way for my purpose. The best thing I can think of at the moment is to use folders in the top two levels and boxes for the workflow.
Is there anyone who tried to organise a project like this before?

Hi,
of course you have to find your own way.
I just recommend (I first did something similar to what you plan to do, so who am I, to tell that you shouldn't),
to start not with Folders as the top level organizer.
In my opinion you have to think not of files but of pictures.
So the pictures are organized in PROJECTS and are always ORIGINALS because it is different to Bridge or LR
not files that you are working with (it takes a while to think this over, I guess).
So the pictures are now organized inside these folders into ALBUMS with different "workflow states" like
the originals ( I would name them more: base-pictures or shooting or whatever)
You pick your stars from 1 to 5 (and 9 to delete) to create kind of a choice from the shoot.
Out of your choice you create an album for your EDITS and immediatly delete those pictures from the SHOOT-ALBUM ( they are still chosen and still you can make them visible via cmd/F and choose all pictures with 1 star and more- go to PICTURES-DELETE FROM ALBUM).
So now you have every picture only one time inside your PROJECT and still only one time in only one ALBUM.
Now you feel free to create some intelligent albums if you need, for checking which ones were taken to a lab for printing or send via email or whatever. For me personally these intelligent albums don't work but this depends on the workflow and your clients.
The advantage is in my case, I export PROJECTS as so called MEDIATHEK (another AP LIBRARY) to an
Ext HD, so I have all the adjustments and the order, in case AP starts to work not as I want it ( I had these
issues a few times in the past and had, what is discussed in this forum as well, thousands of pictures two, and more times without knowing what I did wrong after repairing ).
Hope this helps
Uwe

How can I write an AppleScript to help organise my emails better?

Hello,
I have a situation that I think would be best solved with the use of AppleScript, however I have never programmed with it before. I've tried reading lots of sample code that does similar things, and playing around with the language, but I think it's time to ask for help!
(If there happens to be a good way to do this without AppleScript, I would be grateful to hear of it!)
_My problem is this:_
I have lots of email accounts, and I take great care to keep everything on my computer very well organised. I have many many Mail rules set up to organise my incoming mail into relevant folders on my Mac so that they are not only arranged relevant to their content, but also backed-up offline.
Since purchasing an iPhone last year, I have sought to make the mail integration between my phone and my computer as seamless as possible. I first changed all my accounts to use IMAP instead of POP so that when I read messages on one device it shows as read on the other. This was extremely handy, but when my Mac moved emails into folders on my Mac it removed them from the server so that I couldn't view them on my iPhone.
I got around this by changing the rule actions to copy messages rather than move them, but now every time I get an email both copies remain marked as unread. This may be a rather trivial problem, but I receive a lot of emails and it is quite frustrating to have to click both copies to remove its "unread" status.
Although I am aware that you can use a rule action to mark a message as read, this marks both copies as read. What would be nice would be a rule condition that specified all the messages in a given folder... oh well!
The solution I have been working on for the last couple of days involves creating an end rule that runs a piece of AppleScript. This script would select all the mailbox folders on my Mac with unread mail, and mark them as read. This isn't impossible, right? I really ought to properly sit down and learn the language, but I don't have any spare time, and I'm already trying to learn obj-c and cocoa!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Stuart

Do you mean like this? Run this and tell me if this is what you want.
Just make sure you plug in your email address and the signature names in the sigList
set senderList to {"<[email protected]>", "<[email protected]>"}
set sigList to {"gmail sig", "icloud sig"}
set fromSender to (choose from list senderList with prompt "Choose a Sender" OK button name "This Sender" cancel button name "Abort" empty selection allowed 0 without multiple selections allowed)
if result = false then
          return
else
          set fromSender to result as text
end if
set sig to (choose from list sigList with prompt "Choose a Sginature" OK button name "This Signature" cancel button name "Abort" empty selection allowed 0 without multiple selections allowed)
if result = false then
          return
else
          set sig to result as text
end if
tell application "Mail"
activate
          set newMSG to make new outgoing message with properties {sender:fromSender, visible:true}
          set message signature of newMSG to signature sig
end tell

How do I transfer all my iPhoto library to an external drive without losing the organising

My iMac's internal drive is almost full - mainly with 25,000 photos accumulated over the last 10 years. These are carefully sorted into Events, Smart Albums, etc., and given titles, ratings, etc.
As my iMac is becoming rather 'clunky' with little space left, I want to transfer most or all of my iPhoto library onto a newly purchased 1TB external hard drive to be used just for photos / movies.
I already have another external hard drive linked to Time Machine backing up everything on the iMac.
I followed Apple's support team's instruction to create iPhoto on the new external hard drive (My Passport) - and then drag and drop the existing iPhoto library onto it from the Master file.
It's successfully copied all 25,000 photos into the new iPhoto library on My Passport, but I'm dismayed to find that all the original events, titles, etc. are now all shuffled up and haphazard, with all titles, grading, etc. apparently gone.
Fortunately I haven't yet started to delete the photos on the original Iphoto library on my internal hard drive .................. but surely there's a way to 'back up' my iPhoto library without losing all the hard work I've put into the organising & editing ............isn't there ???
What am I doing wrong?

I followed Apple's support team's instruction to create iPhoto on the new external hard drive (My Passport) - and then drag and drop the existing iPhoto library onto it from the Master file.
Don't know who told you that but it would be difficult to be more wrong.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
