Pros & Cons of Maintaining Material at Company Specific

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP for our Client having 5 companies in single Server.
Client is insisting on creating materials company specific.
In SAP, Material master is Client Specific.
Can anyone tell us what are the Pro's and corn's of Maintaining Material at company specific and at Group (Client) Level.
Regards,
MSK

HI,
If you are creating Material Company Specific, then each company will be having same material i.e Glouse and in SAP database, Glouse will be available 5 Times with different material numbers one for each company.
why five time different material number ?
material number decide by material type not company code
and material type is at client level.
as i told you same material code you can extend in different plant with same number.
as a consultant I have question for you
if you have different material code for one material in different company code then how you will do STO
you can not do it
for STO process same material code will should be in both plant of company code.
this drawback of what you wrote
Regards

One Legal entity two company code - pros & cons

Hi SAP GURUS,
We are having one legal entity with multiple products. I want each plant to be a profit center. But i am loosing plant wise profitability when we are transferring the same product from different plants, in a common depot. This is because we are not having batch & hence profitabilty for plant is lost when it is sent to depot for sale.
In this case I am thinking to go for two company code. One manufacturing & Other selling. What will be the pros & cons in this case.
Thanks
CHEERS

Yes ! kishore You are obsolutly correct !
Hi Nitin,
As per my understanding your issue seems profit cannot be determined while sending goods sending plant to another palnt. For that SAP suggested to use Transfer pricing in Prrofit centre accouting & your valuation must be profit centre valuation not company code to get internal reports.

Pros/Cons of multiple shipping points

Are there specific pros or cons to having multiple shipping points for the same physical shipping location? I know that loading points can be used to differentiate different types of loading but are there any examples or pros/cons for why you would or wouldn't want multiple shipping points for the same physical location?
I know SAP doesn't prevent you from creating as many as are wanted, but I'm interested more in the business process or user impact.

Maderas,
Multiple shipping points can have many purposes, but one purpose that I am aware of and that is currently applied at my company is for determining types of shipments. For example, in plant "X" let's say that there are 3 shipping points:
X1 - large orders, require 3 days of pick/pack time
X2 - medium orders, require 2 days of pick/pack time
X3 - small orders, typically rush orders, require same day pick/pack time
You can set up your delivery batch jobs to print these different types of orders. For example, you can have X1 batch job to run 1x a day very early in the morning so that pick/packers have large orders to work on and you can have batch jobs for X3 orders to run 6x per hour near the end of the day to accommodate your rush customers.
I hope this information is helpful.

Would like to ask about Pros&Cons betwwen Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF

Hi,
Is there some material about the pros&cons between Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF, from angles like technical architecture, performance, network efficiency, etc...
Asking this becuase EBS cusotmer is familiar with Oracle Forms and OAF, when we talking about ADF to them, it is quite confused especially about OAF and ADF, finding material to elaborate these 3 technology clearly, thanks
- Liang Yi

Thanks, I check the comparison of OAF and ADF document downloaded from Oracle Support, but it is for ADF10g, I believe ADF11g is much better, and anyone check the comparison table between ADF 10g and OAF R12 would choose OAF.
And, from the document, I saw one line that is very confused, check it out, do not understand what does it mean with "if your application does not need to integrate with EBS... ... you should use ... ... integration with EBS" -_-!
"If your application does not need to integrate with the
E-Business Suite, or doesn't require any of the E-Business Suite-specific
capabilities enumerated above, you should use ADF 10g with SOA based
integration with E-Business Suite."

Pros & Cons of Using SAP PI Interfaces for Report Generation

Hi Guru's
I have a Scenario's like
I have to generate a customized report in SAP with the main data's available in SAP ECC and some required data available in the Legacy System.
I want to know the Pros & cons of using SAP PI RFC/Proxy adapter interface to get the data from the legacy system for each time the user execute the report in SAP ECC.
Thanks in Advance

There are couple of "dimensions" to consider in your PI interface design. For exemple when you are running the sizing exercise (Since we are considering adding a net new interface), you will need to capture specific information about new interface.i.e. S/A, adapters, frequency, avg payload size. etc..Note that the last two attributes will be hard to size properly in this case since you can't predict how frequent the end user will run the report which will impact the latency time required to pull the data. Latency will affect the user experience as visible side affect and definitely the SLA for other interfaces running at the same time.
On the other hand, the data you are trying to retrieve from the legacy won't be used for transactional purpose but for the end user to pull KPIs from the system which can affect ECC as well. You may end up doing lot hot fixes for your report (Assuming that the report is a medium complexity code)
There are other factors to consider but let's consider these are the major one.
Cheers,
F

What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

Used Firefox for a long while. Bookmarks morphed to Xmarks, which in turn has been acquired twice. I continue to use the newer Xmarks. In process of setting up a new computer, found that Firefox has it's own bookmarks sync.
Like to keep things as simple as possible. Does Firefox sync do all that Xmarks does? What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

I am not in a business environment, just my home. So, I don't know your specific requirements. I operate a dual G5 xserve, a dual quad-core mac pro, 6+ Apple MacOSX computers of varying types and several other linux servers plus a couple of Windows machines. If it were me, I would get two mac pro's running MacOSX Server and use one for backup of the other. The xserve RAID is too expensive from my point of view. I copy data from the xserve to several MacOSX computers with firewire drives for my backup and I have every computer on a ups. (I am assuming that they will not all fail at once!
I run Tiger servers and would suggest that you significantly test Leopard before committing to it.
Hope that helps.

Pros / Cons of Running APEX on separate server

Seeking feedback/thoughts on this general question.
I am maintaining an APEX application that utilizes multiple schemas all residing in the same database as APEX. I am wondering what might be the pros / cons of putting APEX in a separate database and server.
Would this necessarily yield security or performance benefits (or costs)?
How many changes would need to be made in the APEX configuration and code? I have read here in the forum that at a minimum database links would need to be created to the utilized schemas on the other server, with appropriate grants. What else?
Thanks.

Please help us by putting your first name into your profile. Thanks.
So what you want to do is have your application (and Application Express) access tables in a remote database. Yes, you can do that and database links are required.
This almost always has negative performance impact and sometimes results in things not working due to database version differences, especially with down-level Oracle versions.
It also makes application development more difficult if the Application Builder doesn't have local access to application parsing schemas. You can work around most of these problems by creating local views of remote tables, but I don't think 100% of the wizards and some SQL Workshop functionality are amenable to remote schema access. So I don't recommend it. What is your motivation to do this?
By the way, "servers" don't matter in this discussion, it's all about databases.

Using Business area for External Reporting-Pros & Cons?

Dear Freinds,
We are a Retail Business Group half way through SAP IS Retail implementation. We have 8 legal entities, currently their complete Annual Financials are being made & audited separately. In SAP the structure is that there is Single Co. Code & transactions will be seggregated by Business Area (made manadatory for data entry) and Annual Accounts will be drawn up using Business Area.
This to me does not seem to be the right structure. I have joined the group recently, I will be much thankful to you all if you please help me list the Pros & Cons of using Business Area for external reporting.

Dan: <i>For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.</i>
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: <i>As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.</i>
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.

RMAN backup with archivelog (pros/cons)

When performing a "backup database with archivelogs" where does rman store the info contained in the archive logs. If I do a backup like this do I still need to keep the archive logs out on disk? Does this increase time to do backups? I have some production databases that are close to 500gb. Wondering what the pros/cons are doing a backup this way.
Thanks All!

The info stored in the archive logs (what you asked about, but probably not what you meant) is stored in the archive logs. The backups of those logs are stored in a backup set. The information about the logs is stored in the control file.
If I do a backup like this do I still need to keep the archive logs out on disk?
You have backed them up, right? Archivelogs are not actively used by the running database, right? If you don't delete them after they are backed up, let me know who you buy your disk storage solutions from, as I'd like to buy stock in that company.
Does this increase time to do backups? Anything you do "increases time to do" vs. not doing something. (The most efficient SELECT statement is the one not executed). The question is does this have a practical, measurable degradation of performance that is intolerable to my organization? The answer undoubtedly "no".
I have some production databases that are close to 500gb. Wondering what the pros/cons are doing a backup this way.
Pros are you can recover your database.
Cons are, you can't recover your database.
And it looks like we need to point out that the housekeeping of your archivelogs can and should be handled by rman, not outside of it. Look at "backup archivelog not backed up n times" and "delete archivelog backed up n times", and other variations of 'backup archivelog' and 'delete archivelog'.

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems?

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems? Are there any known limits as to how large a BI system can be until it experiences performance problems?
Thanks!

Hi,
I dont think there is any limit as long as your DB and Apps servers support it.
There are case studies on systems from 20 TB to 60 TB.
Regarding having two meduim installations it may not be a right choice if you consider facts like routine maintenance, DB upgrades and reorganization, number of resources required, number of DEV and QUAL servers required (this will increase as each PROD requires one DEV and one QUAL atleast).
If you have a single PROD you can do away with this.
One DEV , one QUAL and a single team of dedicated resources are required to maintain the system.

Is FMS Unicast or Multicast? Pro/Con FMS vs WMS

Hello,
I have two questions:
Is FMS Unicast or Multicast?
What are the pros/cons with FMS vs WMS?
The reason for my questions is that my company has a Flash
Streaming Server and a Windows Media server and we would like
streaming video of conferences displayed on our Intranet. I have
setup the streaming service and am using flash media encoder.
However, we also stream other content to a windows media player and
the benefits of that is the ability to Multicast. I would like to
use FMS because I can customize the experience but I know I will
have to justify against a multicasting system
Thank you for your time

I had no idead that our 1000/40/ Unlimited would not be
sufficient. WOW
I am looking at the adobe pricing here
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/productinfo/pricing/
and I have a question regarding your suggestion of the
150/unlimited. I was under the impression that concurrent meant
simultaneous and how could I meet my 800 user needs with only 150
concurrent connections?
The FMS pro license has 3 profiles. You can choose one
profile per server, and the profile you select applies to all
licenses installed on that server (you can stack up to 10 licenses
on a single server).
Assuming you configure the server with the 150/unlimited
profile, you can accomodate 150 users simultaneously on a single
license, and they can each consume as much bandwidth as they want
(limited by the physical server and the internet pipe/LAN
bandwidth, of course). If you were to buy two licenses and put them
on the same server, you could have 300 users with no bandwidth
limits, 450 users with 3 licenses, and so on.
In the case of the 40/1000 license profile, each license on
the server will give you 1000 connections, or 40mpbs of throughput.
As soon as either one of those limits is reached, the server will
reject new connections until both the number of connections and the
bandwidth usage are below license limits. If you were to install 2
licenses under the 40/1000 profile, you can have 2000 concurrent
users, or 80mpbs of bandwidth, whichever comes first.
So, assuming you want to serve good quality video to 800
users simultaneously, you'll need 6 licenses... which will run you
somewhere on the order of $27,000

PRO & Cons of using treasury management

Hi,
I am trying to implement the treasury management, could someone tell me the PRO & Cons of using treasury management?
thanks,
Liang

Hi,
Based on the business requirement of the client you can decide upon using the Treasury module.If your client is into Banking or Investment field,then you can certainly go ahead with implementing Treasury as the daily treasury process within a company comprises a wide range of transactions, from determining the current liquidity based on bank account balances (cash position) and open receivables and payables (liquidity forecast), through to manually entering planned payment flows (advices) and carrying out cash concentration (the concentration of several bank account balances onto one target account).
The main aim is to
1)Ensure sufficient liquidity for all payment obligations that become due.
2)Ensure that the incoming and outgoing payment flows are optimally controlled and monitored.
For additional information on benefits of implementing treasury ,u can refer to the following link:

Hope this is useful.

Pro & cons for Routings vs Ref Rate Routing

One of our plants uses Reference Rate Routings (CA31, 32, 33). Many colors of vinyls are processed the same way producing many individual material numbers. So one Ref Rate Routing has many Materials assigned to it.
Recently an engineer in other plant found that he can do the same material assignment on Routings (CA01, 02, 03)
What are the pro & cons for Routings vs Ref Rate Routing when doing Material assignments
thank you for any information you can provide
Althea

Dear,
Reference routing is usually used for calling the set of operation can be used manr routings so it is reusage.
Suppose a cleaning operation is having 5 operations. This is used in may places. Then create a routing and call this operation set wherever required. Hence you need not repeate defining the operations in each time.
For more details...see below link

Pros & Cons on J2EE Table GenerationTypes

Hi All,
I am particularly interested in using Glassfish with MySQL and would like to find out which of these options best suit my requirement while not being locked (trapped) into a vendor specific environment going forward.
Below is table generation strategies available in J2EE:
public enum GenerationType
TABLE, SEQUENCE, IDENTITY, AUTO
What is the pros and crons between them?
Your suggestion would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

Could you please breif the pros & cons of both operations...
DELETE x FROM
dbo.table_a x WITH(ROWLOCK)
INNER JOIN dbo.table_b y WITH(NOLOCK) ON x.id=y.id
DELETE x FROM
dbo.table_a x WITH(NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN dbo.table_b y WITH(NOLOCK) ON x.id=y.id
Thank you.
what pros and cons do you want. Table hints should mostly be avoided specially the NOLOCK hint it should never be used. Its bad coding.
The Rowlock is used to change locking behavior of SQL Server it would try to take ROW lock even if page lock is required.
The pros and cons would depend on scenario.

How can I use firefox with pro con latte extention on a linux OS that runs via a USB?

What linux distro to use?
What version of firefox to use? (Since it has to be compatible with pro con latte)

Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.
