Question about merging 2 Companies in SAP

Hi,
our client wants to merge 2 Companies, the company that is going to disapiar is not in SAP.
Our approach is to post the account balances and movements into SAP posting them in the SAP Co.COde, ant that is fine, the problem is that they want to get all the legal reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet...) separately for both companies in SAP.
We think that we could cover that requirement doing:
1. posting the merged company documents with and specific Doc. type. But we think that a lot of legal reports cannot be filtered/selected using Doc.type. It seems no to work.
2. the other thing that we have thought is to use "business area", but BA was out of our blue print and we are not sure what can happen creating BA when a CoCode (in fact several CoCodes) are already in production (went live some time ago).
I will really appreciate if someone can give me any approach about how to meet client's requirements.
Cheers

For a legal entity, you need to have separate company codes.
If it is just the ownership of the company that is being taken over and for all other practical purpose the taken over entity shall be a separate legal entity you can create a company code for the. This is recommended, as the P&L and Balance sheet report is readily available.
You can do a consolidation later for merging both the companies results. either through ECCS within SAP or SEM-BCS.

Question about - doing quotation of SAP material

Hello,
I am interested in keeping up our rules, and I want to show with my behavior a good example to others.
So my question is:
Am I allowed to post a screenshot of a pichture from SAP training material.
I will wirte down the correct quotation.
Example: Discussion about cost elements, giving explanation and refer to SAP material.
Picture with quotation
SAP AC 410 Cost Center Accounting, year 2006, page 3-15
thank you for your answer
all the best Erwin

You actually just posted the screenshot
The The SCN Rules of Engagement
actually say: Please do not copy others work without first gaining written permission from the originator. This includes SAP help files and training materials.
I have no problem with a single screenshot with a clear quote as shown above, but we always have to see it in context, this should not be seen as a clean bill of health.

Question about Merge Statement

Is it possible to use a CASE statement inside the update clause of a merge statement? Also what about a function?
I have a string (In Source) that needs to be split into multiple columns (In Target) depending on values in other columns (In Source).

A Simpler, More Direct Question About Merge Joins

This thread is related to Merge Joins Should Be Faster and Merge Join but asks a simpler, more direct question:
Why does merge sort join choose to sort data that is already sorted? Here are some Explain query plans to illustrate my point.
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT * FROM spoTriples ORDER BY s;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |              |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
|   1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the plan does not involve a SORT operation. This is because spoTriples is an Index-Organized Table on the primary key index of (s,p,o), which contains all of the columns in the table. This means the table is already sorted on s, which is the column in the ORDER BY clause. The optimizer is taking advantage of the fact that the table is already sorted, which it should.
Now look at this plan:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT /*+ USE_MERGE(t1 t2) */ t1.s, t2.s
3 FROM spoTriples t1, spoTriples t2
4 WHERE t1.s = t2.s;
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT       |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   1 | MERGE JOIN            |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   2 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   3 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
|* 4 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   5 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   4 - access("T1"."S"="T2"."S")
       filter("T1"."S"="T2"."S")I'm doing a self join on the column by which the table is sorted. I'm using a hint to force a merge join, but despite the data already being sorted, the optimizer insists on sorting each instance of spoTriples before doing the merge join. The sort should be unnecessary for the same reason that it is unnecessary in the case with the ORDER BY above.
Is there anyway to make Oracle be aware of and take advantage of the fact that it doesn't have to sort this data before merge joining it?

Licensing questions are best addressed by visiting the Oracle store, or contacting a salesrep in your area
But I doubt you can redistribute the product if you aren't licensed yourself.
Question 3 and 4 have obvious answers
3: Even if you could this is illegal
4: if tnsping is not included in the client, tnsping is not included in the client, and there will be no replacement.
Tnsping only establishes whether a listener is running and shouldn't be called from an application

Question about table logs in SAP

Hello,
What table's do the transaction codes ST03 and STAD retrieve log history files from?
Are these tables automatically logged by SAP, such as table CHDHR, or does table logging specifically have to be turned on for these table's?
Help is greatly appreciated on this. Thanks in advance,
Adamo

ST03 tables I believe are SAP Workload Tables. You can search SE16 for:

Question about multiple companies

The customer has three companies with three different warehouses and in three languages. How would you handle this type of customer in ecommerce?

Three themes, each with its own language and catalog. Each catalog should then only have items that are sold by the company the theme represents.
Are they seperate B1 companies? If so, you will need 3 seperate instances of Netpoint and setup some kind of custom synch that will re-write the synch.config file each time there is a synch so that each company will synch with its own Netpoint website, as 5.9.x does not handle synching multiple B1 companies with multiple Netpoint instances.

Question about Crystal Reports and SAP 2007

Good day experts,
I am in the process of creating a Cross Tab report in Crystal Reports, When I get to the screen Cross Tab Report Creation Wizard, any UDFs contained within the source Stored Procedure are not available for selection.
I have tried adding other UDFs to the Stored Procedure and they are also not available.
Is this correct? To me a UDF is just another field in the SAP table.
Thanks
OB

Hi OB........
The UDFs you created and taken into the Query you have to cast it into nvarchar. And then only it will show it in your crystal......
Try this Cast(U_UDF as nvarchar) put your UDF code in place of UDF........
Hope this will help you......

Another question about merging photos

I am trying to take a person from one photo and p
lace her in another, The hair selection is what is getting me. She has blond hair and is on a solid background, Is there a way I can remove the background and nmake her hair selection look better. I am new to this so, if anyone knows how to do this, could tou please post instructions. I have Photoshop elements 9.

Try using the magic selector to select the solid background rather than the subject.
Then on the top menu click Select >>Inverse
That will automatically select the subject. Then press Ctrl+J to put the subject on it’s own transparent layer.
You can then drag in the photo you want to use and place it below the transparent layer.
Use the move tool to position it.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

Questions about 1003051 - TDMS 3.0 corrections - Composite SAP Note

Experts:
We, from a big SAP shop, want to set up TDMS for ERP, BI, HCM and CRM.
We have some questions about note 1003051:
1) Is this note about ERP (and HCM) only? If so, what are the notes for TDMS on BI and CRM?
2) Should we apply this note to all systems involved: sender, controller (SM7.0 in our case) and receiver?
3) We have enhp1...enhp4 in our ERP (and HCM), enhp1 on BI and perhaps enhp1 on CRM (not sure yet).
a) What is the impact of enhp on TDMS?
b) should we install TDMS before applying enhp OR the sequence does not matter?
Thanks for your help!

1) Is this note about ERP (and HCM) only? If so, what are the notes for TDMS on BI and CRM?
>This is a composite note, and contains information about various other notes related to TDMS. Refer to each note mentioned in this note individually to assess the same.
2) Should we apply this note to all systems involved: sender, controller (SM7.0 in our case) and receiver?
>Depends from note to note, Each note contains the necessary information about the system it has to be installed on.
3) We have enhp1...enhp4 in our ERP (and HCM), enhp1 on BI and perhaps enhp1 on CRM (not sure yet).
a) What is the impact of enhp on TDMS?
>TDMS in standard supports Basis 7.0 systems. However it generally works fine with 7.01 too.
b) should we install TDMS before applying enhp OR the sequence does not matter?
>As TDMS 3.0 is only available for systems with basis 4.6C to 7.0. So install TDMS first and then the EHP.
I hope these answers help.

Pankaj.

Merging of Two Companies in SAP

Hai All,
My Scenario is Two Companies are going to Merge as one Company. How to Do the Merging in SAP.
Is there any methodolgy or Steps to follow.How the Reassisgments are doing in SAP.
Regards
Gibi Philip

Hi,
This is related to Merging of Two Companies in SAP in CRM Perspective.
You can approach the problem in the following way:
1. Create a function module which can accept two parameters a) Parent Company and b) Child Company
2. Now get all the activities of the child company by entering the partner number of the child company and the OBJECT_TYPE = 'BUS2000126' in the table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX.
3. Call the function module BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CHANGEMULTI and change the partner of all the activities to the partner number of the parent company.
4. Call BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_SAVE and then BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
Follow the same procedure for reassigning the contact details of the child company to the parent company. You will have to use different set of function modules here.
After reassgning all the details to the parent company delete the child company using the function module BUP_BUPA_DELETE.

Another Example of merging Project:
The Merger project involved three diferent companies from two different countries. When you merge HR you should pay attention to following:
=> Define the complete enterprise structure that covers the business requirements: Company codes, Personal Area, Personal Subarea, Employee group, Employee subgroup and payroll area.
HOW to define the enterprise structure:
=> Analyse the business requirements from the 6 companies:
1. Will the FI/CO be treated as an entities per company. This determines how many company codes and payroll areas will be needed;
2. Number of payroll areas is also determined if the 6 companies are from different countries, if the salary dates will be differents and if there are diferent payment periods;
3. Time management requirements. Are there rules that are applicable only to certain group of employees? For example: Overtime payment is only for employees in the plant. Offices workers earn additional rest hours when they work overtime, etc...
4. Payroll requirements. The salary structure are different for a different group of employees? For example: Expatriates salaries has an host and home componenet on there salary with diferent tax implications. When the local employees do not have that split.
Answers to 3. and 4. will determine the Number and structure of personal area/subarea and employee group/subgroup...
Hope this helps,
Regards

Hi expert,
I have one question about SAP eSourcing. In RFQ document, before RFQ award is published, our customer do not want the price of RFx response disclosed to collaborators.

So I failed to use page customization to hide it.
Pls advise me how to realize it.
