PO Response - how to inform purchasers about differencies?

Hello all!
We are using SRM 5.0 on Server 5.5 and ECC 6.0 - plan driven procurement.
It's possible to create purchase order responses and they arrive in ECC,
but how can I inform the purchasers about differences?
Kind regards,
Barbara

Hi Bill,
thanks for your answer.
I've already searched for this, but I could only find info that it would work in srm - does it also work
in ECC 6.0? Hope so.
Do you have any documentation about that? - Please could you send it to [email protected]
Kind regards,
Barbara

  • How to inform purchasers about differences between POs and PORs

    Hello all!
    We are using SRM 5.0 on Server 5.5 and ECC 6.0 - plan driven procurement.
    It's possible to create purchase order responses and they arrive in ECC,
    but how can I inform the purchasers about differences?
    I’ve found transaction ME2A, but it just shows PO-positions if there is 
    no purchase order response created within a certain days before delivery date.
    The next problem within this transaction is, that rejected PORs are also
    visible because they don’t have an amount.
    The other transaction I found is ME80FN, where I can select PO with
    rejected PORs. But how can I show our purchasers that there are differences
    between the amount and date of PO and POR.
    Is there any report or workflow that I can use?
    Kind regards,
    Barbara

    Hello again,
    I don't need any information from EBAN!!!
    I'm not interested in purchasing requisitions - I need purchase order responses.
    They are in EKES! But isn't there any reasonable standard report?
    Kind regards,

  • How to inform EVERYBODY about a new email address

    Hi -
    I'm going to start using a new email address and want to notify the world but I'm not going to remember everyone who's ever written me. MAIL's memory has zillions of addresses of people who've written me. Is there some way of accessing all those addresses -- a script or something -- for this purpose?
    Thanks.

    In mail.app you could click Window, Previous Receipents, and add them all to your address book. Then send them a message by putting all the addresses into the BCC field (so everyone's address is hidden from the other receipents).
    Or, and I've never used one, there are companies that do that kind of thing:

  • When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • How can I inform apple about my stolen Mac Book Pro?

    I want to inform apple about my stolen Macbook Pro so that if they try to register it we can trace the computer. But apparently there is no reporting system. Is there another solution, an adress to  write an e-mail?

    ... well you answered your own queston. there is no reporting system..Apple doesn't track stolen equipment.. perhaps you bought Lojackforlaptops or turned on Find my Mac.. if you are at a college, you might want to ask your IT department if they can look for your IT via Mac's "MAC" address if you know it. 

  • How do I go about making room on my Start Up Disc?

    I'm sure this has been posted before, but I still haven't seen a response that is satisfactory (and simplistic...I'm a "simple" minded person. LoL).
    Lately, my Powerbook G4 has provided the warning that my Start Up Disc was full and that I needed to make room by deleting stuff (Applications? Programs? Files?).
    I've wondered how this could be, seeing as how even this past year I updated my memory (RAM, I believe) from the basic factory installed memory of two 256 mb sticks by replacing one of the sticks with a new 512 mb stick (giving me approximately 768 mbs).
    So, my question is this: How do I go about "cleaning" up my Start Up Disc? What steps do I take? Is there an application in my System Preferences that I can use?
    I hate to ask so many questions, but I need "baby steps" here people! LoL. While I might do pretty good in diagnosing problems with software and WiFi trouble shooting...this problem has me at a loss.
    Any help is more than appreciated!

    Jonathan:
    I don't believe you got around to posting the size of your Hard Disk Drive and the available space as per ali brown's directions. Maybe I missed it in scanning the posts. In any case, your PB G4 would have come with a 10, 20 or 30 GB HDD. The rule of thumb is that you should have at least 10%-15% of free space for your computer to run efficiently and avoid directory and performance issues.
    You have gotten good advice on how to lean down the info on your HDD to create more available space. However, as you have learned, "nature abhors a vacuum" and computer users fill up free HDD space as nature fills up a vacuum.
    My recommendation is to consider getting a larger HDD. Here is a list of drives for your computer from OWC. They will offer you more storage capacity, increased speed, better performance and less risk of data loss due to directory issues. If you are handy you can install it yourself with these directions. I have based the above on the information you gave as having the first G4 15" PB.
    If this answered your question, great! If not, please post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • Preinstalled Adobe cs6 Master Collection has no access to product registration, how should I go about reinstalling?

    I recieved a laptop from a friend that had Adobe cs6 Master Collection on it, seemingly activated (no trial timer in sight). the problem is, i plan on reinstalling windows and would like to keep this $2000 collection of software, but i cannot find the activation key (the product registration information is seemingly not available, along with deactivation and updates) , or anywhere to download an installer. how would i go about finding the activation key, and then where can i find a copy of the master collection to download and install with said key?

    If the original owner did not formally transfer the license for the software, the key/ registration is most likely still under his/her ownership in his/her Adobe account, and you have no rights to use it nor to reinstall it on any machine you own, including the one you received.  It will be the responsibility of your friend to deal with this.

  • Lack of Response not sure anyone cares about loyalty anymore

    I contacted customer service via email about purchasing a new MacBook Pro for my daughter with her College Money. When we purchased it we told the Best Buy employee about our difficulty getting her approved on the 3rd party website that checks her enrollment. We purchased the computer one day prior to going on vacation. We never could get her cleared and were going to send all of the numerous items to the 3rd part group but seeing that no one would do anything after 15 days it was pointless. My complaint is that now we cannot take advantage of the student discount and now the computer has also droped another $45 in price which is double frustrating. This was not my money but my daughters college money. If this was not my daughters money I probably would not even care but it was her hard earned money. I was very proud that she saved and was able to purchase this item and also pay for her own tuition. So now we are looking at a computer that is less than a month old and now could have purchased for $145 less if I went directy to Apple.If you look at my account I had previously been an Elite member for years and purchased all electronics and appliances from your store. Well now that I have eveything I need at my home I did not purchase as frequently so my Elite status dropped to a regular membership.Being in Sales and Marketing for the last 20+ years I know how important it is about communicationg with customers with opportunities with your company. This is why I wrote in the first place. The answer I received was a canned answer that did not give me a resolution or closure to my situation. I replied to the email and never received a response. I had been planning on purchasing another MacBook and IMacsince they are both over 5 years old and both previously purchased theough Best Buy as wereall of my appliances at my home along with Denon and Def Tech speakers.Not once was I given any reason to continue shopping with your company. Even a small gesture may have kept me shopping with you but nothing was offered. Through the years I have seen what a little customer service or lack of can do to a company. I am tempted to share this on Twitter, Facebook and any other way I can based on mere principle. The lack of response should tell others where their loyalty should lie.

    Hello Daoliv,
    One of the goals to which we aspire is excellent communications with you and also with our other customers. While I am at a loss to explain why you have not had further contact as a result of your recent email to us, I know that you should have received a continuation of your conversation and I apologize for that not being the case.
    As to your daughter's enrollment in our College Student Deals promotions, I recommend that she contact us so that we can work to resolve the issues that she has encountered. We offer the program so that our customers may avail themselves of it, not so that they have a new point of aggravation. I regret that this has been part of your experience.
    Best Buy's Price Match Guarantee is a great way to ensure that you receive the best price on the products you purchase, but our requirement is that a request for price match be within the return period (usually 15 days). Outside of that time frame, we are unable to accommodate a request for price match.
    With that said, I have some information for you about your recent Macbook Pro purchase, so please watch for a private message from me. To check your forum inbox, ensure that you have signed in with your user name and password, then click on the envelope icon in the upper right of this page.
    I am extremely grateful that you took the time to share your ongoing experience with us.
    Sincerely,

  • How To Get AppleToCare About You (iOS7 wifi solved)

    I recently encountered the now seemingly infamous iOS7 upgrade wifi bug. After upgrading to iOS 7.1.1 my wifi was subsequently knocked out. After reading skimming the forums and trying a few of the suggested work arounds I was still unable to get my wifi working (at all). I decided to wait for the next software update assuming Apple would fix the bug. What can I say? I like to believe people are inherently good and accountable. No such luck. When I went back to the forums for a better understanding of the problem I was (somewhat) surprised to discover the magnitude of the issue. For me, the end result was a new FREE iPhone despite my warranty expiring several months ago.
    Try all of the (reasonable) suggested solutions. They did not work for me but that does not mean they will not work for you - no seriously actually try them:
    I turned off wifi and bluetooth, set the phone to airplane mode, turned it off, left it off for several minutes, turned it back on - Nothing.
    I reset my Wifi Router - Nothing.
    I reset all Settings - Nothing.
    I reset my Network Connection - Nothing.
    I did a Soft Reset - Hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously and do not release until after the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. - Nothing.
    I did a Hard Reset (aka Factory Reset) - BACK UP YOUR PHONE FIRST. I connected to iTunes and performed a backup then hit restore (within iTunes). This can be done directly from your phone but if you're here because you're experiencing wifi issues your phone is probably not backed up to iCloud.
    Genius Bar. BE POLITE but firm and know your stuff. They don't owe you anything. Well Apple kinda does, but the employees in the store didn't break your phone so don't act like they did. At the end of the day Apple wrote a buggy code and isn't acknowledging the problem or compensating it's loyal customers. The only way Apple will be held accountable for leaving so many customers out to dry is if customers demand it. However, the Genius Bar is not the place to take out your rage. When I went into the Genius Bar I explained the issue I was having and the steps I had taken in an attempt to fix it. I let her run all the tests and tricks she wanted (knowing full well they weren't going to work). She politely explained to me that I would need to purchase a new phone. I explained to her that I could not, in good conscious, give a company money to solve a problem that they caused. (Some people are crying conspiracy on the part of Apple to get people to buy new phones but I haven't drank the punch yet. - I only took a sip.) I asked if she could do anything else for me. She told me that AppleCare might be responsive to my issue despite my expired warranty as they are a separate entity from Genius Bar and have more authority to help customers. I (sincerely) thanked her (several times) for helping me and asked if I could speak to a manager just to see if there was anything else they could do in store. She said absolutely and that she would "grab a nice manager". I spoke with the manager and briefly explained the issue. I then explained my issue lies primarily with Apple's business model. I, personally, take excellent care of my devices and expect them to last more than a year. I expect that when I buy a device with a premium reputation and a premium price tag that it should be supported by the company for a reasonable amount of time. The iPhone 4s is still being sold in stores and Apple is already neglecting 4s customers - (WILDLY) unacceptable.  The manager was very nice about it and expressed that I made valid points and my frustration was justified but yet no solution.
    AppleCare. After stopping in the Windows store to check possible new phones I trudged home. (Despite my fortunate result I still have a sour taste in my mouth from Apple's method of forcing customers to spend money unnecessarily on constantly changing but marginally improving products. I'm now seriously considering a Windows tablet to replace my aging MacBook.) Anyway, when I got home I called AppleCare and had a very similar exchange with the associate on the phone as I'd had in the store and was subsequently transferred my to a manager. Again, I was extremely polite to the associate and grateful for the help but made a firm point of dissatisfaction with Apple. When I got on the phone with the manager our exchange was quite short but he acknowledged that because the issues arose from a software update causing a hardware problem Apple would compensate me. (Yes, software can physically affect hardware. The CIA uses code to blow up bomb detonators masked as cell phones. It's dope. There's a TED talk about it.) In the end I got a new iPhone for FREE (with a standard replacement fee - ok Apple you won that round. It's still significantly less money I'd spend on a new phone from Apple or elsewhere).
    Moral of the story: Be polite but demand more from the companies you made (filthy) rich. Companies don't care about their customers as much as they should and we can't sit around and wait for them to behave themselves. We need to demand it (even if it ruins our Sunday afternoons). I'd also like to make it known that several times during these exchanges that I'm probably ditching Apple for good. If you use that approach you should be ready to back it up. I'm probably not going to buy another MacBook as I'm a grown up now doing actual work and Apple's inability to play nice with others makes it really difficult to run much of the software at the level I need. (Programmers, you know what I'm talking about!)  As for phones, I require much less of my phone.  Beyond, you know, using it as an actual phone, I really only use the GPS, music, photos, and web browser so I've always been a fan of the iPhone. After this, however, I don't know if I'll be getting another. I don't like spending money when I don't need to, especially if it's just making fat cats fatter.

I, personally, take excellent care of my devices and expect them to last more than a year. I expect that when I buy a device with a premium reputation and a premium price tag that it should be supported by the company for a reasonable amount of time. The iPhone 4s is still being sold in stores and Apple is already neglecting 4s customers - (WILDLY) unacceptable.  The manager was very nice about it and expressed that I made valid points and my frustration was justified but yet no solution.
    AppleCare. After stopping in the Windows store to check possible new phones I trudged home. (Despite my fortunate result I still have a sour taste in my mouth from Apple's method of forcing customers to spend money unnecessarily on constantly changing but marginally improving products. I'm now seriously considering a Windows tablet to replace my aging MacBook.) Anyway, when I got home I called AppleCare and had a very similar exchange with the associate on the phone as I'd had in the store and was subsequently transferred my to a manager. Again, I was extremely polite to the associate and grateful for the help but made a firm point of dissatisfaction with Apple. When I got on the phone with the manager our exchange was quite short but he acknowledged that because the issues arose from a software update causing a hardware problem Apple would compensate me. (Yes, software can physically affect hardware. The CIA uses code to blow up bomb detonators masked as cell phones. It's dope. There's a TED talk about it.) In the end I got a new iPhone for FREE (with a standard replacement fee - ok Apple you won that round. It's still significantly less money I'd spend on a new phone from Apple or elsewhere).
    Moral of the story: Be polite but demand more from the companies you made (filthy) rich. Companies don't care about their customers as much as they should and we can't sit around and wait for them to behave themselves. We need to demand it (even if it ruins our Sunday afternoons). I'd also like to make it known that several times during these exchanges that I'm probably ditching Apple for good. If you use that approach you should be ready to back it up. I'm probably not going to buy another MacBook as I'm a grown up now doing actual work and Apple's inability to play nice with others makes it really difficult to run much of the software at the level I need. (Programmers, you know what I'm talking about!)  As for phones, I require much less of my phone.  Beyond, you know, using it as an actual phone, I really only use the GPS, music, photos, and web browser so I've always been a fan of the iPhone. After this, however, I don't know if I'll be getting another. I don't like spending money when I don't need to, especially if it's just making fat cats fatter.

  • I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

    I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

    The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
    If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
    Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    "Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
    System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
    Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
    Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
    If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
    If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
    using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
    With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
    Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
    This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
    Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
    Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Remove any partitions you may have created.
    Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
    Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
    The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
    The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
    When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
    An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
    Do not create any user accounts.
    When it finishes, shut down the computer.
    If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
    If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
    System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
    Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
    Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
    Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have the same question. It seems that Adobe is almost impossible to contact (I ended up here at the forums to ask the same question).
    I will never buy another Adobe product again if I can get another program to replace it. If this is customer service then it is NON EXISTENT!
    I notice that your question has not been answered and why should you have to get the information from a forum? I know of no other company that makes you do this for simple product information.
    NOT HAPPY with this version of arrogant customer service (nor am I happy about renting Photoshop products into the future - it is just a money grab in my opinion). I will be voting with my feet and going elsewhere in future.

  • I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

    I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/06/06lion.html
    The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request.
    Currently that's the only information available. I suspect more will be posted as we get closer to launch.

  • Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

    Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

    Hi Michael1296,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
    How do I authorize a computer?
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
    If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
    You can find these steps and more information at this link:
    Authorize your computer using iTunes
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • How do I stop about:blank popups?

    Firefox has recently begun opening "New Tab" with a URL called about:blank. Since I've set up popup pages to open in tabs, the about:blank pages pop up in tabs. This happens every time I open FF; if I leave the browser open for several hours it will have several about:blank tabs opened. I've read that "about blank" popups have been associated with a virus or malware and that these tend to redirect users to other pages. However, I have run virus scans and spyware/malware scans and have come up empty and the about:blank popups don't redirect me anywhere else.
    How can I stop about:blank popup pages? They're annoying as heck.

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. If the new profile is okay, you can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] on the old (previous) profile via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
