Settlement of New Product Development Projects

Hi Experts,
We are working on New Product Development project. Our client involves in development of a proto-type as per their client's requirement. Receipt of Sales order, Design, Production of Prototype Sample & customer approval are the stages invloved.
But no revenue will be generated until the delivery & approval of Sample.
How can we settle these kind of projects? Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

Hi Hemant & Venu,
Thanks for the replies. Points awarded.
@Hemant...There is no billing element used in this project. I guess i cannot consider this as an Investment project fully as it does not have an Asset. Please correct me and advise.
@Venu...Can i settle all objects to the cost center for this kind of project? Please help me with Settlement configuration Tips.
Thanks & Regs,
Kabir

Techniques for New Product Introduction in Demantra 7.3.0.1

Hi,
In Demantra 7.3.0.1 there are two ways for New Product Introduction:-
1) Demand Planner: Member & chaining management
2) Collaborative Workbench: Create Similar product
Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of each technique.
The new product introduction will be handled by our clients, so I wanted to know if all the required features can be handled by just one method so we can propose that to be used by the client. Or do we need to use both techniques for different scenarios?
As I understand with Chaining one can link one item to many sites at one go, while with CW the similar item is created linked to one particular location.
Also CW allows for adding cannibalization factor which is not accounted for in chaining.
Apart from this it would be really helpful if someone could throw some more light on the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Gaurav,
I personally feel that 'Create Similar product' is a much required improvement over the original way of NPI using Member & Chaining Management.
Also with CW as well, a new and similar item created can also be linked to multiple location, same as Source Item, depending on the filters used in the Worksheet from which the create similar product is invoked.
some of the PROS and CONS of the 2 methods are as follows:
Demand Planner: Member & chaining management
Pros: 1) Can be used to specify the time range for copying the history date.
2) Can be used to specify the Percentage by which the source data needs to be adjusted while copying into the target combination
3) An important feature is that this can be used to do chaining at an aggregated level.
Cons: 1) It takes a long time to setup a New Member, combination and Chaining relationship.
2) High User involvement since user has to perform muliptle tasks and more error prone.
Collaborative Workbench: Create Similar product
Pros: 1) User-friendly
2) Users needs to enter a few datapoints in single form and does not need to navigate through multiple forms/screens
3) Ability to specify Cannibalization parameters as well as Launch dates
4) Good performance.
5) Ongoing Chaining
6) When coupled with features like 'End of Lifecycle date', it provides a complete Business solution
Cons: 1) Can not be used for only performing Chaining.
2) While it can be used to create a New Similar Product, it cannot be used to create a new similar Customer based on an existing item-location combination data. This,though, may not be a very common scenario.
3) Apart from copying other Item attributes, the method also copies the same 'Item Description' level from source to the new similar product, which sometimes can be very confusing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rohit Goyal

Use old product number for new product.

Dear all,
I have to manage the following case.
From a defined date the engineering releases a new product that will substitute an old product.
The marketing doesnu2019t want to change material number and would you like to use the old product number also for new product.
This solution has a great impact for planning because there is not possible to distinguish the old product stock from new product stock.
Could you help me?
Regards
Flavia Borselli

Hi,
I think one opption is discontinuation that was invited for such cases I thnk. You can set the new part number as the follow-up material of the old one - in this case planning will run smoothly hopefully...
That would mean that they should use new part number but there would be some connection between the new and old one...
Split valuation is another tool to make difference between batches from different origins when the material number is the same. But you wrote batch management is not active...
If you use WM you can store the new & old goods separatly but I wouldn't prefer such solutions...

Item - OnHold / Valid - lock for new production orders

Hi
I am looking for a way to lock an item (with its BOM) for new production orders so that users can not add new production orders for this item until it has been unlocked by the responsible person (BOM needs to be checked by the responsible first).
However, it should still be possible to use (issue/receipt) this item in already existing production orders.
It should affect adding of new production orders only.
btw.: is there any difference in effect between OnHold and Valid settings for an item except for its inverted logic regarding the dates to set?
Thanks
Franz

Hi!
It is not possible to do this with ONHOLD or VALID field.
Try to use Stored Procedure or FMS.
If u use SP, write code like Block Adding Production Orders with X Item
If u use FMS, add a new UDF in Prod.Order row level which should be mandatory. Give Y as a Default Value for tht UDF.
Write a FMS like, Check the Current Line Item Code if it is X Item then make the UDF NULL else Default Value. This will block adding Production Order with X Item

When is reserving/preording available for new products?

When is reserving/preording available for new products? Is it annoucnement day or what? I'm planning on getting the iPad 3 as soon as it comes out, or as soon I can.

Nobody here can say for sure - apple will announce on announcement day, and it will be well publicized. In recent years, the iPhone and iPad have not been available for ordering on announcement day, but apple could change that policy at any time.

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Creation of new product hierarchy and products in SAP CRM.

Dear all,
please help with resolving of following issue:
In CRM system base hierarchies were replicated from R/3 system with materials. Current requirement is to create new materials in CRM directly (as standalone scenario). As far as I understand, I have to create new hierarchy with required list of set types in order to allow creation of products in CRM directly (product type = material). Can anybody describe changes in the system step by step, what should be changed and where?
As a result I need to have a possibility to create products in CRM directly for sales scenario processing.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Jorge,
thank you so much for your reply!
Here what I tried to do:
1. I created new category in hierarchy R3PRODSTYP, added 3 set types: COMM_PR_MAT, COMM_PR_SHTEXT, COMM_PR_UNIT as basic set types.
2. In the SPRO - Cross-Application Components - SAP Product - Settings for Product Type - Number Assignment - Define Number Ranges for the Product Type "Material" I found my new product category is unassigned, so I assigned it to the "CRM Products" group.
3. Farther I tried to create a new product for created category in CRM Web UI, but was not able to find it in the Base category search field. All categories correctly displayed from R3PRODSTYP, but my new category is absent. What can be the reason of category absence? Btw, it cannot be found even when I try to display whole hierarchy in Web UI, however, in SAP GUI, it can be seen via tcode comm_hierarchy.
Here is the setup of hierarchies in the system:
I have no idea how to check #3 "Ensure the hierarchy is assigned to CRM application".
Can you please suggest, what should be changed in addition? Thank you!

Error Message for new production order type

I have created a new production order type and gone through all the configuration requirements that I'm aware of. In testing this new order type, I get an error message in transacion CO02 when selecting the printer icon. The error is as follows:
No reference document type defined for order type ZRWK
Message no. CO179
ZRWK being the new order type.
I've searched through many posts and found nothing relating to this message. Hopefully someone has encounted this before.
I'm sure I've missed something, but can't pinpoint what it is.
Help is greatly appreciated.

Bob, did you check your print parameters?..Maybe you don't have your sap forms..You can check it with Tx. COPI
The path is Print - Print Settings - Configuration Menu.

Finding Soln. to initialise total number of pages for new production order

Hi Experts,
My internal table has details of Production Order which has to be printed in a smartform. The page numbers has to be initialised i.e both SFSY-PAGEand SFSY-FORMPAGES each time when it prints a new production Order.
Example :
Say Production Order 1 is populating in 4 Pages it should display
1 of 4
2 of 4
3 of 4
4 of 4
and for the 2nd Production Order say it Occupies 2 pages page number should be initialized and displayed as
1 of 2
2 of 2
One solution i found is having the smartform inside a loop and passing details of one production order at a time but i dont want to use it as i might be lead to performance issue.
Kindly suggest me a Solution where i passed my internal table once to the smartform and get the output.

Billing Accounts for New Products****New Policy***

Apparently Vz has decided that if you have been delinquent in paying your bill for ANY reason in the last 6 months, you cannot bill new products& services to your account, regardless how long you have been a loyal customer or your VIP status. I received a less than acceptable refurbished Blackberry replacement. Due to issues with multiple dropped calls and no signal issues I need to exchange this for another phone. This is an unexpected expense for my budget, but Verizon will not let me bill this to the account after an error with a payment on the Vz website.
Vz is getting MORE & MORE DIFFICULT to do business with, even for loyal customers. So I am choosing to move to T-Mobile, contract or not, don't care, won't pay. Have had enough of the "High & Mighty" Attitude & over priced service & products.

This is NOTHING new. Has been this way for a long time. Also being a VIP... I believed that program ended well over a year ago. I received a less than acceptable refurbished Blackberry replacement.

What computer do you recommend for music production, photo and video editing?

I'm looking to buy a computer mainly for music production with native instruments and photo and video editing with adobe elements. I'd like a crisp image, good sound and also runs as smooth as possible. I am planning on using external hard drives for most of my storage so space isn't an issue for me. I don't mind buying a refurbished computer. I am looking to spend around $3000 to $3500 on the computer itself. What computer do you recommend?

Please do not double post; it gets too confusing for us - the volunteers - if there is more than one.
the new iMac - just introduced - sounds like it'd be the right thing; I'd upgrade to an SSD and the fastest processor offered. You can also add RAM, but I'd do that later as it'll be less expensive and it's very easy to do yourself.
Good luck.

I had started the process of removing my husband as the primary on my ipad2 device before the Holiday and never got back to it. I keep getting a message on the ipad for New icloud Terms and Conditions but I can't seem to log on. when i go to it's locke

I had contacted apple support before the Holiday and we had started the process of removing/replacing my husband as the primary on my ipad2. However, I keep getting messages now 'New iCloud Terms and Conditions' in a window that constantly pops up. When I go to settings to log into icloud, it is locked with a grey screen. What can I do? Also, I had gone throught he process of syncing all 3 of my devices Ipad2, mini and my iphone5 to have the same passwords, etc. for ease of use. Now that seems to be all wrong as well. HELP! I need these devices for my work and I'm short on time to go to the store, but will if I have to.
Thank you!
Julie

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Multiple batches for a production order and mapping with components

Hello Gurus,
Our business requires to create multiple batches for one production order + they want to trace which component in the production order has been issued to the main equipment.
For example, I am creating production order for 'A' equipment for 4 qty. Business wants to create 4 different batches for these equipment
Lets say now 4 batches are created A001, A002, A003 and A004.
Now lets assume 2 nos of 'B' component are required for 1no of 'A' component. So the requirement of B component is 8.
Lets say 8 batches are generated B001, B002 ......B008
Now lets say batch B001 and B002 are issued for A001 and packed together. How do we map this?
I understand we can do some enhancement for creating the multiple batches but I still dont know how to map them with each other.
Please help

Hi Ethan
There is a functionality called WIP batches, that allows you keep the batch traceability within an order.
With WIO batches you can track which batch of component was used to produce each batch of finished product.
