Re-alignment in COPA

Dear Experts,
For some of the Billing Documents, Sales Employee Number did not get derived into COPA.
I created Realignment Run as follows...
Selection Condition:
Company Code
Sales Organization
Sales Order
Convers Rule
Sales Employee Number (Characteristics to be derived again).
When I executed the Realignment Run, the status becomes "successful", but, when I see the log, the records read / hits / derived / Changed is "0" (ZERO).
What am I missing...
Regards
Srikanth Munnaluri

If the characteristic couldn't be derived when the original posting happened realignment will only help if you analyse first why the derivation failed and then make changes that will allow a successful derivation in the realignment run. Otherwise, you are just executing the same rules of derivation once again with  the same outcome you got originally - in your case: no sales employee could be derived - no changes made to COPA segments.
For example, if sales employee number is derived from customer master data and the field is empty for some customers, the characteristic can not be derived until you fill the field and THEN execute realignment.

  • COPA Re-alignment fro new value field

    Hi,
    I would like to know if the COPA realignment would popolate the values for a new value field for the past transactions.
    Regards
    Venkata Devaraj

    Hi Jayram,
    Thanks for the response.
    Yes I want to either change the mapping for a existing quantity value fields or add another value fields for quantity. I am exploring this 2 options.
    In both cases I want to populate the data for the history records. i.e for the transactions that have been posted till this change.
    Is this possible in COPA.

  • COPA Re-alignement

    Hi All,
    I have a field PSPNR(Wbs Element) in COPA records. There are couple of documents which are already posted to COPA and the wbs element field got updated.
    Now, I have created a new characteristic in COPA and I have created  a derivation for the same to capture only first 9 numbers of wbs element (PSPNR) to the newly created Characteristic.
    My question is how can I update the new characteristic field for documents which are already posted to COPA? Is it possible through KEND (Realignment). If yes, please advise how to create the realignment request for the same.
    Any response relevent is appriciated.
    Thanks,
    Kumar.

    Hi Kumar,
    Note 94458 will give some insight to KEND. Yes you are correct that KEND is the programe to be used in your case. If you want to populate afterwards some characteristics that have newly been added to the operating concern in the old profitability
    segment numbers already existing you have to use the realignment tool (transaction KEND).
    But realignment will only be successful if it is possible to derive the new characteristic values somehow from the current data
    of the profitability segment number - in other words it depends on your settings in transaction KEQ3 (whether the sales order number is 'used' or not, whether the material is 'used' or not etc.). In case that all this information is missing in the CE4 segment numbers, the same segment number can be used for different sales orders or billing documents so that it is impossible to derive the data from one single billing.
    That is, new characteristic should be filled by realignment if it can be derived on the base of characteristics that are already filled even in the "old" CE4 segment numbers.
    The realignment only changes the characteristic values according the definitions in the realignment request in the table CE4xxxx (Segment table) and NOT in the CE1xxxx (actual line items) or CE2xxxx (plan line items).
    Please also note that only the characteristics activated in transaction KEQ3 can be used in realignments.
    A realignment is only carried out on those profitability segments which meet the selection criteria for that request. These are defined in the selection criteria. This criteria must be true for a PA segment before it is changed by the realignment.
    To run the realignment successfully, the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
    1) The system should find an entry in table CE4xxxx which meets the  selection criteria.
    2) The source fields of the derivation steps which should be performed  by the realignment run must not be initial.
    3) During the realignment the first successful derivationstep overwrites  any existing values for that characteristic. This is different  from how derivation works when posting actual or plan data.
    Sometimes it happens that characteristics are not corrected during the realignment. The realignment can be carried out only under the following conditions successfully:
       -  Characteristics were used in the 'Selection' which are not  filled in table CE4xxxx (possible cause: in transaction KEQ3
          flag 'Not used' is set for the characteristic).
       -  If characteristics are supposed to be derived again in the  realignment, the source fields of the corresponding derivation
          steps must be filled in table CE4xxxx. The realignment change  only changes the characteristic contents in table CE4xxxx. The  characteristic values in the line items (CE1xxxx) are not  changed. The realignment change (realignment run) can be
          tested. Select the realignment run in transaction KEND and choose 'Test monitor' (F8).
    Please, check attached notes 524590, 553626, 122578, 438077 and 407446.
    Finally you should not directly go in to the table and change the data. As I told you realignment does not affect the CE1 or CE2 table. It's only CE4 table that is update. But this doesn't mean that you will not be able to see the realigned data in KE24.
    In transaction KE24 you may also display the results of realignments by choosing the option 'Read acc. to current structure' instead of 'Read as posted'. This will make the system read table CE1XXXX and additionally CE4XXXX and if the characteristic values in table CE4XXXX are different from CE1XXXX then the values of table CE4XXXX are displayed. As to note 407446 it should be not advisable to update table CE1XXXX because of the large amount of data overhead produced by
    a reversal logic like in release 3.1I. Furthermore if postings are performed that affect already posted line items like the reversal of an FI document, which causes the system reverse CO-PA line items, also table CE1XXXX and CE4XXXX are read, i.e. realignments are taken into account here as well.
    You can find further information in SAP Online Help under: Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Master Data -> Realignment
    I hope this clarifies your issue. Please let me know if I can provide any further help on this.

  • Animated Gif - Aligning Multiple layers

    Hi All
    I am creating a rotating animated gif in PS. Now I have about 37 layers, where I increment the angle of each layer with 10 degress relative to the previous one. But even when aligning all my layers with the aligning tools the layers still not align...How can I align them perfectly? See what I mean on the image below here:
    NOTE: If the gif here does not animate, see this link:
    You can see it is off-center

    DexterDave wrote:
    @JJMack. I am not sure how to rotate the layer without the older frame copying the new rotated position...that is why I used copies of layers
    You do copy the layer and rotate. The layer needs to be perfectly aligned to the center of a is square 1:1 aspect ratio canvas. Guide lines were added 50% Horizontal and Vertically three were added a 49%, 50% and 51%. Then using the elliptical tool set to path mode a circle path was drawn by holding down the Alt key so the path would be from the center and holding the shift key down so the ellipse would be constrain to a circle. You click at the 50% 50% crossed guide line which the mouse pointer snaps to and you drag out the first otter circle.  You then set the path mode to subtract and drag out the inner circle.  Your path is now a ring. Then switch you the rectangle tool and subtract a rectangle path using the 49% and 51% guide lines. Your Path is now two arcs. Create two filled Shape layers the colors in the ring delete 1/2 of the layer so you have two colored arcs. Rastersize the two and merge the two layers int one.  You now have you arcs aligned from the center.  Next the action its simple dupe the layer rotate the layer 10 degrees select previous layer turn off visibility select layer forward.  Play this action till you the required 36 ring layers. Create a frame animation have Photoshop make frames from the layers using the frame animation palette's fly-out option.  Delete the first IK frames and turn on the IK layer visibility in what in now the first frame. It will turn on in all frames. You the save for web the animated gif. PSD file http://mouseprints.net/old/dpr/ik.psd  also tried using a smart object ring layer to loose less quality rotating the layer however there seem to be movement in the rotation.  Photoshop may be having a problem dealing wit the transparency in the layer and the break in the circle. http://mouseprints.net/old/dpr/ikso.psd so then I put all the ring layers into a group and masked the group with a vector mask. http://mouseprints.net/old/dpr/iksomask.psd  the best tool you have when using Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears let it do its thing it may even surprise you sometimes.

  • Multiple copies of same photo on same page seems to assume A4?

    I'm trying hard to work out how to print out multiple copies of the same picture. I want to get 2 copies on each 4x6" sheet of photo paper and have followed all the steps...
    Selected 1 picture, hit print, went to Settings, selected "Multiple of the same photo per page".
    I then went to Print Settings, selected Borderless 4x6 (yes, the printer works fine with that usually - HP Photosmart C4280) and set the Print Size to 2x3 and the preview shows the 2 copies of the same photo side-by-side no problem.
    So I hit OK, clicked on Print and...
    It's not aligning with the left hand side of the 4x6 - it's not respecting the selected paper size. If I put in a sheet of A4 to test, the 2 pictures come out in the centre of the page (in the requested size). So as a result I can't print on the 4x6 paper as most of the picture gets printed on nothing!
    Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug in either iPhoto or the HP printer driver? Anyone had any success with this? If so, what kind of printer were you using?

    Jemster:
    Here's the workflow I used to get 2 2x3s on a 4x6:
    1 - select photo & click on print button
    2 - select 4x6 borderless and 2x3 print size
    3 - click Customize button
    4 - click on settings button
    5 - select "Multiple of same photo per page" (after clicking OK two photo are shown on the preview)
    6 - click on the Print button.
    Where I differ is that I don't go back to Print Settings to select the 4x6 paper size after Step 5. Give that a try.
    NOTE: Do a Print to PDF to check it out instead of printing on paper. That will save some paper in case it doesn't work.
    That gives me two photos on the 4x6. I'm using a Canon i850. I also get the same results with an Epson R280.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

    I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC.  I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images.  When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected.  Neither is acceptable.  How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image?  I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file.  This is what I have been doing as a work-around.   But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
    Thank-you!

    A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
    1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
    2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
    3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
    4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
    5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
    6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
    7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
    Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.

  • How can I align multiple titles in Premiere Pro?

    We are working on a video (obviously) and we have a bullet list that we'd like to come up as the speaker is naming off specific items. So far we have created a separate title for each bullet point, so that we can control when the bullets fade in. The issue we're having is that we have to eyeball the alignment right now and it's not always accurate. So i'm looking for some help. How can I select multiple titles in the timeline and right align them - OR - is there a way to have all of these bullet points in one title and still maintain control of when they fade in and out?

    This technique will only work with current versions of PPro - it looks harder to do than it actually is:
    Create the title with all the bullet points, aligned as you wish, in the Title Tool.
    Exit the title tool, the title you just created will appear in your project.
    Click on the title to select it (if it is not already selected) and then go to the menu Edit > Duplicate.
    Repeat the duplication process to make as many copies as number of bullet points you want to transition on.
    Place the first copy of the title where you want the Title to appear in your video.
    Double click on the clip of the title on the timeline to re-open the Title Tool. Delete all the text except the first line.
    Now place the second copy where you want it to appear in the video.
    Double click on it to re-enter the Title Tool, and delete all the text except the first two lines.
    Repeat this process for as many bullet points as you have, delating one fewer bullet point each time. You can add transitions at the cut points between the titles (such as a dissolve) to make the next bullet point appear as you wish.
    If you try to to this using an early version of PPro this will not work as the titles and its copies are linked - so if you change one of the copies, it changes all the other titles. Fortunately this has been fixed in the current version.

  • Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

    Dear experts,
    In my company we are considering following scenario:
    Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
    We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
    The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
    The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
    The doubts we are having are the following:
    Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
    Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
    Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
    Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
    Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
    I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
    Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
       First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
      If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
      Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
      However this may not be viable for bulk postings
      You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

  • Does anyone know how to align hexagon shape in photoshop

    help~ i have problem aligning my hexagon shape, they just don't have the same gap between each other...even when i turn the smart guide on it works the same (sorry for my bad english)
    well im using adobe photoshop cs6 extended, please give me tip & trick to align them

    I assume you are using the Shape tool to draw your hexagons. After you drag out the shape, use the Transform controls to tweak the size, so that the width is evenly divisible by 4, and the height is an even number. If you wand a gap between shapes, include that in your adjustments. Make a note of the new width and height.
    Once the scaling is committed and the shape is selected, Control+Alt+T to Free Transform Copy, and in the Option Bar, set the X and Y to Relative. Set X to zero, and Y to the height you set earlier, and commit the Transform. Then Repeatedly press Shift+Control+Alt+T to make more transformed copies.
    With a vertical column of shapes, Alt-Click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel to select the whole path. Control+Alt+T again. This time, again using relative, set X to three-quarters of the width you noted earlier, and Y to one-half the height, and commit
    Finally, again Alt-click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel, and Transform Copy relative with X = one and a half times the width you noted, and Y to zero. After committing this, Shift+Control+Alt+T as above to extend more columns.
    And JJ, those are Octagons .

  • Duplex Printing in MS Powerpoint - Margins Aren't Aligned

    I solved my own problem, but now can't figure out how to delete this post.    So, please ignore.
    I have the HP Photosmart Premium, running Win XP. 
    I created a document in MS Powerpoint 2010 that is two sided, with four copies per page.  (There are four rectangles per page, both front and back)
    On screen, all is aligned and looks perfect.  When I print, using the "use two sided printing" feature, the document isn't aligned from front to back.  The front has proper margins but the back is off by about 1/4" too far to the left.  I can't figure out how to align this and believe it's something to do with the printer since it looks exactly right in Powerpoint.
    Any tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • Printer problem- on new cartridge- repeats alignment test and later repeats documents

    I replaced the black ink cartridge on my HP PSC 1410 All IN ONE.  Often it then repeats the alignment test each time, I turn it on.  The second problem is that when I print a document and indicate ONE copy, it continues printing multiple copies.  Do you know why it does these things or how they can be corrected?
    I have had this problem a couple of years now and wasted a lot of ink and paper.  Is there some kind soul who knows the solutions?
    [text removed for privacy]

    The PSC 1410 will print an alignment page after a new cartrdige is installed.  If the alignment is not completed the printer will continue to print alignment pages.  To complete the alignment place the alignment page on the scanner aligned to the lower left corner and press the scan button as described here.
