Reward Points System

When a user post a question and that question it's answered in many cases the user forget or simply don't reward the help that he gets.
It would be so much useful if a message box or popup window appears every time he do login at SDN Portal or remind him to his email that he must reward the topic if he considered useful.

Age old problem, we are working on some ways to remind everyone!

J1IS (After GI in STO Process) will reward points for any helpful answers

Dear Gurus,
After Goods Issuance of Stock Transfer Order:
I did a capturing and posting of Excise Invoice referencing the Goods
Issuance Material Document (of STO) using transaction J1IS. Excise
Document is created succesfully and displayed in the pop up message,
but FI document is not displayed in the pop up message (but it actually
got created in the system).
The pop up message looks like this:
"Excise invoice 001020026 generated. FI document is ."
Is there a SAP note to enable the FI document number to be displayed in
the pop up message?
Will reward points for any helpful answers.
Thanks,
Jules

Resolved with SAP's help:
Run transaction FIBF.
On the menu click on - Settings -> Products -> of a Partner -> Activate
here maintain a new entry:

KEY_G in my rewards points

Can any one explain what is tab KEY_G in my rewards points section .

Hi Everyone,
I spoke with a developer and your guesses were correct. This is for the future when you will be able to receive points for Wiki contributions. We are undergoing a system change tomorrow and the tab will disappear as we are not yet ready for this program to start. Look for it to happen soon though.

Negative Rewards Points Total - Unexplained

I have a total of -57 rewards points and I don't understand how that came to be.
A few months ago there was a promo for "buy 2 3DS games, get one free" and I bought bought two but the third one I wanted was OOS at the time. The BB rep told me to just buy another game at the same price "Yoshi's Island" and bring it back to exchange for the game I wanted "Zelda: A Link to the past" when it was back in stock. I'm guessing this is somehow releated to my negative points, that the system took back my points when I exchanged Yoshi for Zelda but I can't really tell. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings MadSalad, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
I would be looking for an explanation too if my points balance were to for some reason go negative. After using the email address you registered with the forum to review your account, I believe that I have found the reason why your points balance is negative.
It appears that you returned a couple of floor speakers back in February, which was processed after a $5 certificate had been issued and redeemed. You did not have sufficient points in your account when the points for the speakers were removed, which caused your balance to go negative.
I would like to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you in additional detail to ensure that it is up-to-date, so I will be sending you a private message. You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the little yellow envelope at the top of the page.
Thank you for posting and for being a My Best Buy™ member!

Rewarding points in the forums - October 26, 2005

Some of you might notice that you are unable to reward points today, the feature has been currently disabled at the moment due to some system changes.
It will be reacatived in about 24 hours, we are sorry for the inconvience.

Hi Rajani,
As Craig has written. The point system is currently down. That is for all, not only your user ID.
As all of you know by now, we are having stability problems. I guess they come with the success of having over 250K members and a lots of users. (Even though SDN was down a couple of times we still clocked in at over 1100 posts last week.)
It is not a trivial problem and to limit the influencing factors we have decided to take our home grown point system out of the equation. Next to a host of other factors availability was improved by 5% from the day before.
We will let you know once it is back and also will give you a detailed account of what was going wrong.
Isn't it true for SDN too: You only know what you had once it is gone. (Well, actually not there for a while.)
Please be patient, Mark.

Silly idea...but why not remove the points system?

Hi,
I just re-activated my interest in the SAP SDN community and have noticed a lot of discussions around points, Jacobs deals, negative points, quality of content, moderators, etc. Basically a whole lot of discussion, energy and effort towards something that should be a byproduct of an active community, not the core of it.
How about just removing the whole points system?
I can understand why it was initially in place to quickly build up a community, but I assume that you have reached the critical mass and I think you might actually be losing some of the good part of the mass because of this points system (because it might impact the overall quality).
I have been a member of Sun's Java community since 97 and though they have always had "duke dollars" it has never been a motivating factor to participate there and I don't think a lot of emphasis is put on them either. The community became very fast self controlling with people put in place for not being clear with their questions, etc. and I have always thought that it has been quite a good, simple community which has benefited everyone quite a bit. This is not to say that I don't appreciate SAP SDN, but it is just a sample of a community which works without requiring direct "rewards".
Having a link to your business card for answering questions as well as getting a profile with articles, whitepapers, etc. is in my opinion plenty of recognition and for those who you (as the forum owners & moderators) see as being truly exceptional you have the Mentor / Expert (sorry, can't remember what you called them but a sort of fellowship) model and the less people you have in that group the more they will be valued and the more people are interested in truly good quality content instead of quantity.
The only post I found related to this topic with a quick search was Reg Award Points but there might be more around as well. My apologies if this is a topic which has been discussed enough already (please link this to such discussions if relevant, though won't reward any points ).
So how about it. Any chance of dropping the points and trust that the community will survive without them? I think it would do just fine.
Cheers
Kalle

"have the changes improved the quality of the postings?". I would leave that judgment for the community to answer and perhaps it is still too soon to tell as the changes have only recently been implemented. In most change management activities, it takes time to affect behavioral change.
But as for the World Food Program initiative, you raise a very important point about continuing to spread the word concerning the food for points idea. I would recommend taking a look at this website called [SAP Feeding Knowledge|http://www.sapfeedingknowledge.com/] and would be bold enough (or perhaps impassioned enough) to recommend that if this idea speaks to you, if you think it important enough to repeat to others, you take the initiative and further spread the word. That can be done by reminding folks in the forums (perhaps even where such contentious point discussions or debates around quality occur) or it could be that you choose to blog about it either here on SDN/BPX or in a personal blog space. I'm your willing assistant in that activity!
Viral knowledge-spreading about this, increases the likelihood of the program's success. And forgive me if I sound like I am evangelizing the cause, but that is exactly what I am dedicated and determined to do. Having recently visited in countries where this program is designed to help people, I can vouch for its importance as an eye witness to its success and would think it worth everyone's time to at least read about how a simple act of participation here can help alleviate suffering and make a difference in the world. Please pass it on.

I have a new account and I want to use the reward points

hi
I just created a new account on Toshiba and deleted the older
the old account: (radumuresan) http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=538172580
the new one: (akhenaton) http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=538318254
I did that because I couldn't post on a thread ( http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=22110 ) and I thought that it is a problem with my account
now I want to use my 10 reward points (which were not used with the previous account - "radumuresan"), and also, if possible, to transfer (add to the current account - "akhenaton") the 3 reward points earned; it's annoying - my new account ("akhenaton") has no "Reward Points to Assign" (from the beginning) even though I haven't used the 10 reward points in my old account :|
I, also, would like to thank moderator if he/she contacted Toshiba technicians in the problem regarding the XD-bit ( http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19857 )
I had no chance to do this before the thread was closed (I only got to thank Toshiba Support Team as I was very anxious to run some tests on my "shiny new laptop" with the new BIOS update; later when I tried to edit my post the thread was already closed)
thank you!
L.E.: now the 10 "Reward Points to Assign" just appeared on my account; 10x (but I still don't see the 3 earned points added too)
Message was edited by: akhenaton

Hi akhenaton. I am writing a bit off topic, but there i have an opportunity to write you something, because both topics, where you adviced me, are now closed.
I was trying to write you something in the topic about the RAM modules, where you reacted and answer my question. This topic is already closed, so i am not able to add there any post. I just wanted to say you thanks :) I have also problems posting the message in topic about NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600, it wrote me the same, that it has to be approved by moderator or something like that. So i waited for some time and the post finally apeeared the next day. I don't know, when the post has to be approved by moderator and when it is posted automatically. And something about reward points, I think, that you have 10 reward points at your disposal in every topic you created, don't you? Greetings.

Urgent please help will reward points

How do i join two trans table with indexes.
please help will reward points.

Hi,
Just copy paste this code, activate and test.
INNER JOIN.
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_vbak,
             vbeln TYPE vbeln,
             END OF t_vbak.
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_vbap ,
       vbeln TYPE vbeln_va,
       posnr TYPE posnr_va,
       END OF t_vbap.
DATA: it_vbak TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_vbak.
DATA: wa_vbak TYPE t_vbak.
DATA: it_vbap TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_vbap.
DATA: wa_vbap TYPE t_vbap.
select-options: s_vbeln for wa_vbak-vbeln.
SELECT avbeln bposnr INTO table it_vbap FROM vbak AS a
                            INNER JOIN vbap AS b ON
                            avbeln = bvbeln WHERE a~vbeln in s_vbeln.
loop at it_vbap into wa_vbap.
WRITE:/ wa_vbap-vbeln, wa_vbap-posnr.
endloop.
LEFT OUTER JOINT.
SELECT avbeln bposnr INTO table it_vbap FROM vbak AS a
                             left outer join vbap AS b ON
                             avbeln = bvbeln WHERE a~vbeln in s_vbeln.
loop at it_vbap into wa_vbap.
WRITE:/ wa_vbap-vbeln, wa_vbap-posnr.
endloop.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INNER AND LEFT OUTER JOIN.
With respect to above example,
INNER JOIN will fetch all those datas with reference to VBAK in VBAP.
LEFT OUTER JOIN will also fetch all those datas with reference to VBAK in VBAP. But it will also fetch those data which are in VBAK, But not in VBAP.
hope this helps.

How to give more than 10 Reward Points

Hi Experts,
For your excellent performance for solving problems, if I would like to give more than 10 "Rewards Point", how can I proceed? Can any expert guide me how to give more than 10 Reward Points?
Thanks,
Hoque
Toronto, Canada

Hello
There is one more way to award more than 10 points
This is the table
Designation
Point Value
Awards of This Type Allowed
Solved My Problem
10
1 Time Only
Very Helpful
6
2 Times only
Helpful
2
Unlimited
So if you think you want to give more than 10 points, keep allocating 2 points as many times as you can and finally give the 10.

*assign points if useful

Trade in issues - 10% and 2x reward points

I traded some games in the middle of december and never received my double reward points or my 10% bump in value to any of the games. I have the paper with the transaction id if that helps anyone.
Thanks again

Hi jwhit2736,

Points System Design Flaws

I'm not here for points, and was here before the points system was enacted, and would certainly still be here if it were gone tomorrow, but what's the point of having them if they're hardly used?
It is very difficult to achieve even 10 points a day in my opinion, (which is reasonable for forum members to level up in a fair amount of time). I usually come to these forums every day, mostly to post, sometimes merely to read. However, on average days when I completely answer or help users with problems, there will be no response from such users, and especially not a thread marked as "solved" or a post marked as "helpful". This is typical from the majority of those helped here, which are one time forum users. It's pretty difficult to fix this problem, but there are other things that could be done to aid this.
Since the new system has been started, I can count the number of green stars next to one of my posts on one hand, literally. I usually make more than just a few posts a day as well. Look, I'm not trying to be stingy or greedy about points, but there's obviously a flaw regarding user interaction with the point system.
This could simply be solved by simple logic. An OP who asks a question should HAVE to answer the following each time in order to post a reply: "Has this been solved?" and furthermore specifically "By Who?", while giving the user a choice of those in the thread only.
I can't tell you the amount of "solved" threads I've seen where the person who should receive credit for solving the problem is never given points simply because the user isn't using the specific buttons on the post to specify that their question was answered, but on the reply form, which won't allow the user to choose a post from. The result, it's solved, but supposedly by no one.
Again, I'm not all about the points, but It's illogical to have a system that is so seldom used, and at times when it is, usually not accurately.
The key points here are that most people asking questions don't understand the idea of the point system. They needn't understand the idea of a point system as long as interface design is exercised properly.

Hello Brian,
You're right, and this question has been thoroughly raised in every aspect, from the beginning in November 2005, and then some other times once in a while.
Although a nice and fun way to support the general wonderful sense of community, and a nice way to "feel thankful" together too, we all know that gaining points is not our main concern, and that there would be as much participation without, but
you're right again, if we are to use them, then they need to work as intended.
Now where I disagree with you:
"An OP [...] should HAVE to..."
In my opinion an OP should feel at ease, as much as possible, and not, like many constantly advise,
feel yet again the same kind of complication/clumsiness/heaviness feeling (s)he experiences in filling administrative or boring banking forms...
As you rightly said, OPs do not (and should not) know/learn everything about some complicated steps, just when entering a technical forum for the first(s) time(s),
especially as they are at the moment in the state of mind of a newbie who additionally is in a troubleshooting panic...
In my opinion,
the solution should come from us, and the mods, not from the OPs.
And the solution is simple:
- a reintroduction of a level of awarding by peers.
Since we already know how perverted the voting system had become, I'd suggest a very limited possibility of awarding posts when not an OP: like for example only three or five "Helpful" per day.
Software fixes priorities:
- Now that it works better, the Points system is more easily criticizable, but the fix is not anymore so urgent in the list of fixes.
I'm sure it is still there though.
Be patient and enjoy your participation!
Regards,
Axl

My order has shipped and I've received part of it, but NO REWARD POINTS yet????

As the Subject points out, I haven't received the points yet and the website says the points are not rewarded until after shipping. I'm just wondering where they are? I have only one account, I logged into the store site prior to purchase, I have only one card, The Sony Financial Services Card which I used to purchase Sony's brand new 4K tv. My Sony account/Sony Reward Points were already linked as I've already received/used Sony Reward Points prior to this purchase of the 4K TV. So what could be wrong? Why am I not showing any points for this latest purchase of the TV & 4K video player (they're running a special for a free 4K video player for the purchase of the tv I got, and I have already received the 4K Video Player)? I'm set to receive the shipment of the TV tomorrow between 10am-2pm Central.
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on?
Thank you for your time.

Hi Lonnie! It would be best to contact Sony Rewards here for further assistance. Thanks!
