SAP SD for a Publishing Company...
Hi Experts, Could you please give some inputs on how to implement SAP SD for a Publishing Company who publishes Magazines and books? What standard SD business processes can be configured? Awaiting your response...
Hi Sudhir
let me explain you how material master data is maintained and used in the Media / Publishing company.
As mentioned in previous post by Laxmi material master data is maintained in following 3 level.
1. Media Product Family (JP21, JP22 and JP23) : This is the first hierarchy of material master data, which stores information i.e. Brand, Brand Manager, Marketing Manager etc. Lets take an example of ' Magazine' which is a Media Productly Family.
2. Media Product (JP24, JP25, JP26) : This is the second hierarchy in the material master data, which contains information i.e. Media Product Family (i.e. Magazine), Content Category (i.e. Sport magazine or Automobile Magazine), Publication Frequency (i.e. Weekly or Monthly), Media Type (i.e. Online Publication, or Printed etc). The most important things is each media product has a unique relation to its media product family. So most of the data is copied directly from Media product Family.
3. Media Issue (JP27, JP28, JP29): This is the third hierarchy in the material master data, which contains information most similar information as of normal SAP material. Media issues are only relevant for delivery. Example can be lets take a Media Product as Sport Magazine which is published every calender month so the Jan Issue or Feb issue are nothing but the media issue.
See below diagram to understand the relation between three of them

How do you convert iPhotos to CMYK? I want to send "artwork" which are essentially photos to a self publishing company for a children's book and don't know how to do this. The iBooks I created are beautiful and vibrant. Why can't I just send the photos? They want all artwork tiff and CMYK with at least 300dots on resolution?
Photoshop is a very expensive application. GraphicConverter can convert RGB files to CMTK and can set the PPI to what you need:
GraphicConverter is the only 3rd party image editor other than the full Photoshop to be able to convert to CMYK. You can get it here: Mac photo editing, Mac photo software, Mac photo-editing - GraphicConverter

Calculate the database size for a particular company code in SAP
Hi Experts,
We have 30 company codes in our FI production system. So to plan another new company code to be deployed into the system, we need to know exact data capacity (database) of the previous company code that we already deployed. Kindly let me know whether it possible to calculate the database size occupied for a particular company code in a SAP system.>

Its not possible to calculate data size based on company code.
By creating company code It will not occupy much space. Depends on your posting documents for particular company codes.

SAP Implementation for a building construction company
Dear All ,
We are doing SAP implementation for a building construction Company .My client is responsible for building construction .What they do is initially some 10 members of this Company will create a society(Legal Entity) .They are like promoters for company . They will put advertisement for buying of flats belonging to that society . Then some 20 members (outside) join this society by registering who are actual buyers of the Flats which society builds .
Then this society passes a resolution that my client will be the building contractor for flats . After that these 20 outside members will pay the full amount . After this Flats were built then these members will occupy flat ,then after some 4 -5 years of maintenance these 10 core members of society will hand over the society completely to secondary members and come out of the society .
Now how we will map this society in SAP .One society can have more than one project going on . Somebody is suggesting to treat a society as a company code . But we have more than 250 societies . Is it viable . Shall we create plant for each project .
Regards
Abhijit DasHi Abhijit,
Suggestion by our PS consultant for your requirement is
>>>I would suggest that in case of PS, consider society as Business area and each building as one Project and under project WBS and if any activities floor wise consider as networks.
Oust side membersu2019 Account payables and receivables and downpayments will come under FICO.

Implementation of SAP Business One for a construction Company
Hello Everyone,
This is Anuradha, we are going to implement B1 for a construction company for the first time.The Client requirement is as follows: " There are four branches under a Head office, the Board of Directors who are at the HO should be able to access the consolidated reports of all the Branches(which hold the different construction projects)...How to configure this so that all the consolidated reports to be viewed by the HO at the end of the day ...
Plz do help me out with a solution asap ......
Regards,
AnuradhaSantoshAnuradha,
You should look at the option of creating Segmented Accounts. Segmentation facilitates defining branches and without any additional effort, the Directors of the copy would be able to run any Accounting / Financial Report which would show the consolidated results.
Unless, you are planning to setup 4 different company database for each branch where the scenario is much different and will require consolidation.
Please let me know if you need further direction

Unable to Print Purchase order automatically using SAP GUI for JAVA
Hi SAP gurus,
Some of the PC's in our company use windows and some LINUX. Therefore we use two types of SAP GUI. One for windows and the other one JAVA. PO approval was set to print automatically. In a windows setting, there are no problems with this setup. But in SAP GUI for JAVA, no print outs are produced and no error messages are displayed. I am using SAP GUI for JAVA version 7.10 ver 6. and I use Front end printing for linux access method G.
please help,
gungertzhi gungertz,
You can use U type access method for printing SAP document using linux desktop.

How to identify all the information for a given company code?
Hi,
Our company provides data migration services for SAP and other ERP applications. Our customers provide us the specifications for extractions and conversions. We use one or more 3rd party tools to extract data from legacy systems into text/Excel files. Customers use LSMW to load generated files.
We just got an unusual request. This customer wants to get ALL the data from SAP for a given company code and dump into Excel. They would do some manual editing on the data and load it into a new SAP client.
In the past, customers would be more specific in their requirements. For example, they will mention Materials, Customers, Inventory, etc. In this case, the customer simply wants ALL the data for a given company code.
Q1. Is everything in SAP related to company code, either directly or indirectly? For example, can materials be filtered by company code?
Q2. The tools that we use let us extract data from SAP using SQL-like queries. How do I identify ALL the tables that I would need for a given company code?
My feeling is the customer themselves are not clear on what they really want. Perhaps they are expecting us to guide them.
I would appreciate any thoughts that you may have.
If there is a more appropriate forum for this question, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help.

SAP opportunity for IT/BPO services as well as airline domain
Hi All,
I need suggestions related to my career path that i am building. I am a consultant having around 4.5 +years of experience in sap consulting. I do for Mm/QM. I have support/implementation experience in manufacturing , process industry who were my clients during my professional tenure. Now i have decided to join a company (actually joined) which is into IT/BPO services ( they manage the activities through SAP( procurement being my part))and also has done sap implementation for airline domain. They do not do any other sap practice other than travel and airline. Now if i tell you , i have joined the company so that i can see how SAP is customized to match the requirement of IT/BPO services. This is a new domain for me and i think i have lot to learn from it. However i also see that i have the chance of being dynamic (vertical wise) as i have knowledge in manufacturing, process, it services/ airline. So i am thinking of staying and learning the same. But 3-6 years down the line i might again change my job with/into consulting firms/ solution providers. In that case will it be a right decision to stay with this organization and work profile or leave and move to the previous vertical in which i was (consulting firms/ solution providers)
Regards,
SSHi Sen,
as told by Vev Patra, if you thinks you are gaining knowledge about new things, please stay there because you will get a lot of things to be learn, when it comes to switch towards other side, it will not be a major issues for you, because after some years you will get domain knowledge in various module and your expertise also increased upto a level, and that will be sufficient for a vertical growth.
But if you are thinking that, there is nothing more to learn, then you can move towards your previous role, as not gaining any new thing, means you are not learning new concepts, and in this way you get struck at one point, which in needless.
So, it totally on your business aspects, if you thinks your previous role was good, then you can move onto it, but if you are enjoying the present role, please keep it with you, because it will also play a vital role in your vertical career growth in some manner.
