Hi,
Profit centers captures actual revenues & expenses of the business transaction. The company arrives the
net of income over expenses and analyses whether the Profit center is making Profit or not. Now they
want to control the expenses and have a target set to expand the revenue base to optimize profit.
For this they have to plan each costs and revenues over a period for a Profit Center. When they
plan values for these profit centers they have to take into consideration the business trend over
next 12 months and the plan is set for each period. Actuals are posted in normal day to day transactions.
During period end, the analysis is being done to see the variance between plan and actual and measures
are taken to control the areas to reduce these variance which may affect Profit.

The loading date, transportation date and planned date on the STO are the same as Delivery dates.

Hi,
We have created a Intra plant STO (plant to plant in the same company code). The planned delivery date is 4 days. So if I create a STO today (27th march), the delivery date is 31st march (excl Saturday and Sunday).
During delivery creation, the loading date, transportation date and planned date are also coming as 31st march. The route determination for the given shipping point and route shows 2 days for transit and 4 hours for pick pack. There is no loading time maintained for the given combination.
Can you please advice why are the dates coming the same as delivery date during delivery creation without considering the duration maintained in route determination ?
Thanks!!!
Anuja

Hi,
This is a standard behavior of SAP in case of Stock Transfer PO.
If you want that the delivery date of receiving plant be transferred to supplying plant, please use BADI MD_STOCK_TRANSFER.
Hope this helps.

Can we use actual and plan data for same cube?

hi friends,
can we use actual data and plan data in same cube in bps.
Thanking u
suneel.

Hi,
Let us take std cube 0SD_C03 where we store billing info,sales order info and delivery info. But still in reporting we can get values without any mismatch in their respective KF. It is possible because of a cahracterstic called Documnet category which gets values in update rule by constant .
Similarly we can have 2 types of data (plan and actual) in a single cube by having different value for a characterstic. Most frequently used characterstics for this are 0VERSION and Value type.

Profit center Time dependent and other Time Dependent Master Data

Hello Friends . I ticked one of the attribute of 0Vendor -
Attribute = Profit center Time dependent. Now I get
Date To and Date From Field. I read that we need to set this in BI via routine. Can u Suggest the below
Date From Field = GO live Date
Question 1 : If I set Date To FIELD to be Month end like for oct 10/31/2007 and make a routine that will increase the Date To FIELD to November 11/30/2007. Will it spoil the load since I read in SAP Expert that we cannot have same date to field. But i guess we can have it, Like If i load it today Date to will be 10/31/2007 and tomorrow load will also have 10/31/2007 . so it will have monthly snap shots of master data
Question 2 : what is advisable if I create Daily snap shots of master data like Date To FIELD will be Loading Date . Will that logic in routine to create daily loading date set to Date To FIELD will overburden the system and make the system die in few months or it is ok. we will have about 12 fields which will be time dependent.
Question 3: If you have any routine that set Date To field please email me at [email protected]
Please help

Soniya,
If you really need to do it, Quarterly is a better option than monthly so that you can reduce the number of records in master data.
For the time stamp, you will have to write some code.
Since you are going to use 0PROFIT_CTR object, the business content on this is still based on the old data flow. You have multiple places to write this code. The best place is to create a transformation between your Infosource and the InfoObject. Once you have the update rule, you can write a start routine.
you have to populate the date from and date to field.
date to = first day fo the current qtr.
date from = last date of the current qtr.
to get the first date and last date you can use the following logic.
1. pass current date and fiscal variant to fm DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT.
2. get the first period and last period from the output of 1. (for example, the current date is converted to period 003, and year 2007, then for this value the first period will be 001, and last period will be 003 and so on)
3. use fm FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get the first date of the period.
4. user fm LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get the last date of the period.

10.7 ERP Question on Planned Shipment Date and Planned Delivery Date

Hi All,
I have a 10.7 ERP question related to Planned shipment date and Planned Delivery Date which are on shipment::released event.
Are these held and displayed at the shipset / shipment level on ERP database
and forms or are they held & displayed at theline level ?
This question is specific to Oracle ERP 10.7
Thanks,
SM

I do not believe 10.7 documentation is available online anymore. Release 11 documentation is available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/r11_doc.htm - the functionality closely resembles 10.7

Actual GI (gods issue) date and planned GI date

Can you explain about actual GI (gods issue) date and planned GI date? Can actual GI date differ from planned GI date? can anyone pls give me the ans.....

Hi,
Planned GI Date : It is the date on which the goods must be physically dispatched from the shipping so that it can reach customer on the Requested Delivery Date (RDD) or on-time. It can be calculated as follows :
Planned GI Date = RDD - (pick/pack time + loading time + transit time)
Actual GI Date : Actual date on which physical goods movement happens from shipping point. Goods issue document to account for the outgoing inventory is normally created on Actual GI Date.
Hope it adds info..
Thanks

Can we assign the same profit center to diff costcenter master data

hi all
can we assign the same profit center to diff costcenter master data
what are the impacts in control parameters for actual and plan dat a
Thanks
MvNr

Hello,
There is no need that you should have the profit center and cost center one to one relation.
You can assign number of profit centers to a cost center. Meaning that the same profit center can be used in different cost center master data. Whenever, you make posting to cost center, the same will be flown to profit center.
For example when you post actual line items, it will update GLPCA and GLPCT in profit center accounting.

Req. delivery date and plan order finish date relationship

Dear Experts,
I have a question on setting the req. delivery date and plan order finish date relationship. Now, I want the plan order finish date is one day before the req. delivery date, is it possible to set it in configuration? Please advised! Many thanks!
Regards,
Matt Yim

Matt,
Please use a schedule margin key(SMK) in the material master MPR2 view which has float after production defined as 1day.
If there are no SMK with that defination then you can define you own in customisation and assign the same in the material master. (SPRO--->Production ->MRP->Planning ->Scheduling and Capacity Parameters->Define Floats).

Validation Script for Dates and General Event Questions

I have just started using Javascript, and am now using some objects and methods etc. that I did not even know about. It's progressing rather well, now I need to know some Livecycle Designer Basics that I can't seem to answer from my searches.
Here's what I am trying to do in English:
I want users to choose a date that they will miss at our Farmers Market. I have the date field on the form - works well.
I want to validate the entry for:
The date must be today or in the future
AND
The date must be before the closing date
AND
The date must be a Saturday
Here's some script I've written and placed in the Validation Event (I have actually written more for testing out that the results are coming out properly):
----- form1.#subform[0].Missdate::validate - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------
var entereddate = this.rawValue;// The date vendor will not attend as entered on the form
var dentry = new Date(entereddate.slice(0,4),[entereddate.slice(5,7)-1],entereddate.slice(8,10),0,0,0); // month starts at 0!
var closingdate = "October 04,2008" // closing date of the market
var today = Date();// today
(dentry.getDay() = 6);// and attempt to validate that the day = Saturday - nothing happens!
But now -
How do I actually validate this - my last statement seems to be ignored. How to I force a 'false' being returned? In Formcalc I simply put a camparison statement here and if it resulted in 'False' validation failed and if it resulted in 'True' it passed - What's the JS equivalent? Or are the variables giving me troubles?
Maybe I'm putting this in the wrong Event? If so which one should I place it in.
I want to force the user to enter the correct data - how do I code this - and put in a custom message refering to this. I may even get fancy and ask the user if the next Saturday is what they meant if they enter the incorrect one (this will be a real challenge!)
I think I'm lacking some basic knowledge here that other posts have assumed. Please refer me to any help pages as well - although I've done extensive searching on this and have not really found a good explanation of Validation - only specific pages that are not basic or general enough for my understanding. Thank!

In the validation script you have to allow the field's length to be 0, or
it will not be possible to clear it...

2LIS_04_P_MATNR Delta - Actual Start and Finish Dates

My company is experiencing a problem with retrieving the actual start and finish dates and times from the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source with delta extraction. The R/3 source system is version 4.6C. The BI system is version 7.0. Specifically, the data source fields GETRI, GEUZI (finish), GSTRI, GSUZI (start) are sometimes never populated with data. These fields are often blank in the production data extracted. It was observed that the actual delivery date for the order (posting date of goods receipt from process order) was often an earlier date than the GETRI date. This scenario was tried in test systems, and it was found that if the final goods receipt for the process order was posted before the end of the last phase was confirmed, the actual finish date and time fields were not transferred to BI from R/3. In fact, it was noted that a new record was not created in the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR delta queue when the end of the last phase was confirmed. Regarding the actual start data, this is missing if a goods receipt from the process order is posted before the start of the first phase is confirmed.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? How was it resolved?
SAP Notes have been searched regarding this problem, and in fact, a customer message has been opened with SAP for this problem. However, we thought we would try asking the community as well, to see if any other users have experienced this, and how the problem was resolved. We also understand that it may be an unusual practice to post a goods receipt from the process order before the end of the last phase is confirmed. In a more general sense, has anyone else experienced that some of the data source fields are never populated if the R/3 information is entered after the posting of the final goods receipt against the process order? Our testing indicated that no more delta records are created for the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source after the final goods receipt was posted.
Thank you,
Chris Sopek

Hello,
we are experiencing your same problem! The only difference to your scenario is that wer are currently operating on SAP ECC 6.0.
Did you receive any answer from SAP?
We opened a request for the same topic.

Profit center - actual line items report

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
hi,
i am trying to excute ke5z, profit center actual line item report. it does not show any values even if i am running it wide open, I am testing this in our quality client, we have data all of 2008 posting to profit centers. i
is there some kind of config involved in this.
please let me know if anyone has an idea.
thanks.

Are you absolutely sure there are no values in any of the fields in selection screen? Recheck if any of the multiple selections (arrow at the end of each field) is active? Are you running it for record type 0 (actual) - you did say you are running it wide open, but I am just trying to reconfirm.
Just another think that you could check - when you are in the initial screen of KE5Z, go to Extras -> Data source (F5) from the top menu and make sure Database checkbox is checked.

Plant and Profit center wise Turnover and gross profit for the Month for s

Hi
We need a report Plant and Profit center wise Turnover and
gross profit for the Month for selected month and GL's
We are using new GL. but our bi system old version.
SAP_BW -- 7 Patch:SAPKW70015
BI_CONT - 703 Patch:SAPKIBIIP7
Do you have any idea or experiences which data source and data target required to full fill this requirement?
Thanks
Ramana P

Hi
You need to check if you really the report Plant wise and if yes, then check if the Accounting Transactions are maintained at Plant Level in your source system i.e. in R3.
Ideally it should be Business area or Functional Area or Controlling area which are maintained in Accounting Transactions. You will also the relevant details for these Characterisitics + Profit Center in the NEW GL Accounting data sources.
