Sales forecasting-updating opportunities with booked values

Hi,
we have a need where a user creates an opportunity for a large deal (say worth 6M USD) which will be realized over say 6 months. each month from the day the oppty is created say 1 MUSD worth orders will be created.
how do we incorporate this scenario in the monthly sales forecast. challenge here is that one opportunity will result into multiple orders each month. how will the sales forecast know that against the large deal of 6 MUSD, some amount is already realized/booked and it should subtract that amount from forecast report. need is to avoid double forecasting in such scenarios.
is there a standard report which takes care of such scenarios?
i am sure this is not a unique situation in almost all B2b sales this should be a need.
any pointers will be appreciated
thank you.

I referenced the post below.

it is not working for me. I don't understand the approach of using derived column to get rid of NULLs neither. Can you help?
Thank You Warmest Fanny Pied

Updating PK with same value - effect on CASCADE UPDATE

Hello,
I would like to understand how sql server 2008 deals with cascade updates
For example I have
Parent table: Employee with column Id as varchar(20) primary key
Child table with IdEmployee as varchar(20) foreign key
I set up Cascade Update for those two tables, meaning any change to primary key in Employee table will cause update in child table rows that match affecting Id
Scenario 1:
Update Employee
set Id = 'ABC',
Name = 'something new'
where Id = 'CCC'
Result of child table: all rows with foreign key IdEmployee and value of 'CCC' are updated. Expected behavior.
Scenario 2:
Update Employee
set Id = 'ABC',
Name = 'something new 2'
where Id = 'ABC'
This time, i am doing something different. I am beside update of column Name with new value, also update primary key but
with SAME value
Question is: what is going to happen to child rows? Are they ALL going to UPDATE due to CASCADE UPDATE
So far, what i did in order to find solution is:
1. I put an timestamp column in child table that should update each time row gets updated
2. I put a trigger for update event on child table that will write something to some log table
*After I set up those two I ran example like above just to be sure timestamp gets changed as well trigger is being fired
Results of updating PK with same value:
1. Timestamp didnt change
2. Trigger didnt fire
Is this enough to make conclusion that updating primary key with same value ALONG with updating some other columns won't
affect child tables with UPDATE CASCADE ON
Update:
Database is CI AS collation
If i do following
Update Employee
set Id = 'abc',
Name = 'something new'
where Id = 'ABC'
1. Timestamp will change
2. Trigger will fire
Conclusion: Case sensitive is important here!
Thank you very much in advance

>> would like to understand how sql server 2008 deals with cascade updates <<
Your posting has a number of conceptual errors.
1. The terms “parent” and “child” are not RDBMS; they are used in network databases. We have “referenced” and “referencing” tables; they can be the same table.
2. A table models a SET of things, so there is no “Employee” table unless you truly have a one-man company. We want a collective or plural name for the SET/table. A better name is “Personnel” for this table.
3. Her is no such thing as a generic “id” in RDBMS; it has to be “<something in particular>_id” to be valid. Identifiers are usually fixed length
4. It is very, very rude not to post DDL on a forum. You also do not know the ISO-11179 Rules for data element names. They do not change names from table to table! Does your name change whenever you use it in a new place?? NO! Same principle with data.
5. The ISO standard uses “<property>_<attribute property>” syntax, no the old PascalCase.
6. Why did you post a useless narrative? How do we compile “I SET up Cascade UPDATE for those two tables,..” to test it??
CREATE TABLE Personnel
(emp_id CHAR(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
emp_name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
CREATE TABLE Health_Plan
(health_plan_acct CHAR(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
emp_id CHAR(20) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Personnel(emp_id)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE,
Scenario 1:
UPDATE Personnel
SET emp_id = 'ABC',
emp_name = 'something new'
WHERE emp_id = 'CCC';
Result of child table: all rows with foreign key emp_id and value of 'CCC' are updated. Expected behavior.
Scenario 2:
UPDATE Personnel
SET emp_id = 'ABC',
emp_name = 'something new 2'
WHERE emp_id = 'ABC';
This time, I am doing something different. I am beside UPDATE of column emp_name with new value, also UPDATE PRIMARY KEY but
with SAME value.
>> Question is: what is going to happen to child [sic: referencing] rows? Are they ALL going to UPDATE due to CASCADE UPDATE. <<
SQL uses a set-oriented model, so the whole table is updated as a unit of work in theory.
So far, what I did in order to find solution is:
>> I put an timestamp column in child [sic: referencing] table that should UPDATE each time row gets updated <<
Why? It is not in the SET clause list; it cannot change. As an aside, The T-SQL TIMESTAMP is not the ANSI/ISO TIMESTAMP; it is DATETIME2(n) in T-SQL. The old TIMESTAMP is being deprecated because it stinks both in concept and implementation.
>> I put a trigger for UPDATE event on child [sic: referencing] table that will write something to some log table.<<
TRIGGERs are fired by what is called a “database event” shown in the ON [DELETE | UPDATE] clause. T-SQL adds INSERT as an event. An update to any value or to no value at all is still an update. Depending on the collation, case may or may not matter in the final
outcome.

Update column with ROW_NUMBER() value

I have a column that I would like to update with a ROW_NUMBER() value partitioned by a specific column.
CREATE TABLE ##tmp (id INT NULL,
value1 VARCHAR(10),
value2 VARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO ##tmp (value1,
value2)
VALUES ('A', 'asdfasdf'),
('A', 'asdf'),
('A', 'VC'),
('B', 'aasdf'),
('C', 'sdfgs'),
('C', 'xdfbhsdty'),
('C', '23sdgfg'),
('C', '234')
-- update the ID column with the values below
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Value1 ORDER BY Value2),
Value1,
Value2
FROM ##tmp
I have 14 million records. Can someone explain the best way to do this? Does the ORDER BY destroy performance for this many records?
Thanks!

JCA adapter doesnt update MarkReadColumn with correct value

Hi,
I've created a JCA adapter in the SOA suite which polls a certain database. The poll works perfect only during configuration I set it to do a logical delete. My JCA looks like:

Update layout with var value

I have a dropdown list with values and a button on page1, and I have an layout on page2.
The problem is that I want that the layout on page2 could be updated depending on the value of page1.
Could anyone help me!!
Vitor Ramalho

you can pass the value of Page 1 to Page 2 via Navigation->SET_PARAMETER(name = 'your_variable' value = 'Value') &
then based on the value u received from Page 1, update the Page 2. can you be more specific to help you more.
TO show values in Layout use below syntax:

Best way to update footer with book version #

Hi all,
I have a book and that book has a version number, 4.0. This number is on the cover page, and in the footer of the document as well. What I would like to do is have that version number in the footer update whenever I change the version number on the cover page.
What is the best way to do this? Cross-reference or variable? I just don't want to have to update the footer everytime the version number changes?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

1. Define a user variable in your cover page
2. Update a representative file to use this variable in the footer
3. Use File > Import > Formats, selecting only Page layouts and Variable definitions, to update the layout and variables for all the documents you need to manage.
] Take care if some documents already use variables with document-specific values you don't want to overwrite
4. When you need to change the version number on the cover page, update the variable in that file and repeat step 3 (this time with only Variable definitions selected) to apply the update to all the component files

How to update iterator with popup values

Hello all,
I've got a question regarding updating my iterator tableview (non-mvc bsp application). I've used some javascripting to open a popup window and retrieve the selected value back into a hidden input field on my cart page. Now, what I need to do is get the value into the appropriate field in the iterator tableview. Any ideas? (Right now, there is no event fired in the cart page after the popup is closed).
Thanks in advance,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
You need to fire an event when the popup closes by placing the following in the the cart page:
<bsp:htmlbEvent id   = "closing_event"
                name = "closing_event"
                p1   = "closing_event" />
This event is fired when you close your popup by using the following JavaScript:
window.opener.closing_event('POPUP');window.close( );
Regards,
Patrick.

Update sales opportunities with DTW

Hi Experts,
I am trying to update sales opportunities with DTW but get the error below even with a file as simple as:
RecordKEy;SequentialNo;OpportunityName
RecordKEy;SequentialNo;OpportunityName
1;17803;Anything
2;17892;Anything
3;17894;Anything
The Reason of the error:
"CServiceData::VerifyPropertyWrite failed: Property 'SequentialNo' of 'SalesOpportunities' is read onlyoSalesOpportunities"
Do you have any idea what may be wrong?

Dear Martin Kamau,
By SDK help, the Source table of SalesOpportunities Object is OOPR, and SalesOpportunitiesLines is OPR1.
In B1 application Sales Opportunity form, you could check which field need to set for OOPR and OPR1, you could refer to SDK help file also.

SOP- Sales forecast in $ value

Hello,
Is it possible to enter a sale forecast is SOP or Flexible SOP in $ value of forecast sales, instead of at Quantity in "PCS". For example, we want to forecast for 6 months the sales of a product family. Is it possible in SOP or it must be done with CO/PA?
Regards,
Edited by: Boaz Weinstock on Jun 30, 2008 4:37 PM

In the flexible planning, you should choose right planning type which has layout of sales value instead quantity.
Planning type is linked to a planning table.
Forecast comesup from history, CO/PA is used only for the cost benefit analysis.
Thanks,

Help in modifying create sales order - update value during idoc import

Hi,
I have been asked to modify the process of creating a sales order when an idoc comes through. The basic requirement is to update a value in the sales order item (VBKD-BSTKD_E) with a value from the Idoc (in segment E1EDP02).
I have never mapped inbound documents before and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I think I have idnetified the right enhancement VEDA0001 - EXIT_SAPLVEDA_001 but I am not sure what the syntax should be.
Does anyone have any idea - or pointers where I could create this solution. I even tried to put a break-point into the customer exit - but it seems to be ignoring the code!
Would appreciate anybodies help
Paul

hi Paul,
I need to enhance FM u201CIDOC_INPUT_ORDERSu201D. So I had created the new project ZDEV_VEDA via tcode CMOD and under this new project, I assigned the VEDA0001 enhancement. I wanted to enhance Function exit EXIT_SAPLVEDA_001 (INCLUDE ZXVEDU03). But I had encountered this message:
Program names ZX... are reserved for includes of exit function groups. Message no. DS027
Any ideas what is this about? Appreciate so much.
TQ.

Problem Regarding Invoice Booking with freight value

Hi,
I have RBKP , RSEG, BKPF, BSEG tables.
I can fetch data from above tables for invoce booking values.
But i can't fetch freight and other charges against particular invoice.So i am getting purchase rate of material without freight
in case of same purchase order and in same item.
one example,
Company purchase one item based on PO today.
after two days Company purchase same item bsed on same PO.Now user make entry of invoice with frieght.Now in two invoice how can i find freight of one invoice.
So kindly suggest how can i link invoice with freight.

Hi,
I tried in my system and its working fine allowing to change the amount in MIRO. My doubt is whether it was client requirement during implementation to set such an error message..
It might has something to do with the Partial Inv. field in the Account assignment category in PO item level..
Are u using Derive from account assignment category???
Please check this answered thread
Error Message M8575 - Partial Invoice not possible
Please check
