SAP TAO,What is the purpose of Development,Quality,Production environment?

Hi All,
What is the significance of Development,Quality,Production environment under license tab of configuration in SAP TAO.
Which environment has to be selected for better operatability of SAP TAO functions.
Thanks and Regards,
Ujwal Kandimalla

Hi,
As TAO deals with the testing aspect, a 3 system landscape is recommended:
DEV : For unit testing
QA: For system testing and integrated testing
PRD: Has to be available for production usage
You could also have a Pre-Prod for load and UAT.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

What is the purpose of Multiproviders???

Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to create a multiprovider.
I have read the SAP documentation but I still do not understand in what circumstances should I create a multiprovider for reporting.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide details on what is the purpose of multiproviders?
Assuming I have the following scenario, should I create a multiprovider for reporting?
Infocube A:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
- Shift Type
Key Figure
- Hours
Infocube B:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
Key Figure
- Amount
I need to report on both the key figures for each employee and what is the shift type of the employee for the specific cal month/year. The employee number, cal month/year and shift type will be used as selection parameters.
I am thinking of creating a multiprovider for this reporting need but I think there will be some problems.
For example:
1) If I input the employee number and shift type as selection parameters, the amount column will be empty when the report is displayed.
2) If I input on the employee nunmber, then I'll be able to see both the key figures when the report is displayed but the data are on different lines which does not make sense to users.
Emp ID   Shift Type    Cal Mth/Yr   Hours     Amount
200001   Shift         05.2006       10
200001   Not assigned 05.2006                 1000
Only if I don't show the shift type column, then the record will be display in a single line.
How can I rectify such a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Hi,
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Multiprovider - used when we want to report on chracteristics and keyfigures that are in different data targets.

What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?

Hi
I have a query related to the Output type .
What is the purpose of Defining a requirement in the procedure?
And where shall we code for a new requirement and also what shall we code in it?
Thanks

Requirement Use
If the requirement is fulfilled (SY-SUBRC = 0), then output determination also takes into consideration output type or the access sequence, for which the requirement has been specified.
Output determination:
An object that checks whether the application data (for example, data determined in Customizing) corresponds to the condition records.
If this is the case, one or several messages are "found," which can then be processed (for example, sent electronically).
The condition records are searched for according to a predefined hierarchy in message determination.
After defining a new requirement no say 604 for billing pricing procedure and activating it, the standard sap system creates a routine with the no: 604 specifically for billing. So the name of the program automatically created by SAP will have the naming convention something like RV64A604. then you need an access key to go to the change mode for writing any logic. Then just put a break-point and then execute VF01 or VF04, then the cursor position directly goes into this routine, where the pricing structures KOMK and KOMP have the visibility. So based on the values flowing inside this structures, you can probably code that suites the business requirements.
there are some useful transactions like VOFM for maintaining the requirements and formulaes for a pricing procedure.
For viewing the requirements in the procedure you can also go to V/08 transaction.

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

Hi Kishore,
Let me clarify you. First it is not new GL account but the New GL functionality.
With the introduction of MySAP ERP 2004, SAP introduced also a new functionality with SAP Financials. This functionality is given the name New General Ledger Accounting, or NewGL.
The new GL functionality has many uses like
Supports different reporting purposes: Legal entity reporting, segment reporting, management reporting;
Option to expand standard accounting with industry specific fields and customer-defined fields;
There is a new standard field segment in mySAP ERP: A segment is typically derived from a profit center (PC); it can be filled manually or defaulted recommonded for segment reporting.
You can search the forum for more info on new GL

Function module: why do we use FM and what is the purpose of using FM

hi,
   Can any please explain. Why do we use FM?
                                       What is the purpose of using FM ?
                                       Where we are using FM and for what tables in R/3 ?
I could be thankful to you if any one answer above questions.
Arun

Hi,
We go for creating FM when there is a chance of using the same code in different reports in R/3.
Suppose I have a requirement say, to display the Payer Name for every sale order.
This is most common requirement in any project.
You can create a FM say READ_CUSTOMER_NAME in SE37.
Write a select statement from the table VBAP to fetch the Payer Name based on the Sales Order.
Now you can activate the FM and it is ready to be used across all the reports in R/3.
Need : To avoid redundant coding and to modularize the code.
If you want to see the list of Standard FMs, got SE37 --> press F4 and you'll get all the SAP standard FMs.
For customized FMs (User defined), type Z* or Y* and press F4.
Hope this helps a bit !!!

What is the purpose of using cash sales doc type?

what is the purpose of using cash sales doc type?

You can go through the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/70/a7853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
Update from help.sap.com
Cash sales is an order type for when the customer orders, picks up and pays for the goods immediately. The delivery is processed as soon as the order has been entered. A cash invoice can be printed immediately from the order and billing is related to the order. Receivables do not occur for the customer as they do for rush or standard orders, because the invoice amount is posted directly to a cash account.
Process Flow
In the standard system, sales document type BV is saved for cash sales with immediate delivery type BV.
When the sales employee creates a cash sale, the system automatically proposes the current date as the date for delivery and billing. Once the order has been posted, a delivery with type BV is created immediately in the background and the system prints a document that is used as an invoice for the customer.
The invoice papers are controlled with output type RD03, contained in the output determination procedure for order type BV.
If the customer has already received the goods, this delivery should not be relevant for picking. If the customer is to pick the goods up from a warehouse, the delivery should be relevant for picking. If the goods are to be sent, this can be processed by maintaining the delivery in the usual way.
The system automatically creates a resource-related billing index which updates the billing due list. Billing document BV is created as the system processes the billing due list, but an invoice is not printed.
Once the customer has received the goods and is satisfied with them, the transaction is considered to be complete. We recommend that you post goods issue in the background using a program designed specifically for this purpose. You can then bill the transaction.
The cash sale can only be billed if the order quantity is the same as the goods issue quantity. If this is not the case, you need to adjust the cash sale document so that the delivered quantity and the quantity to be billed match.
You use an order-related collective billing process to bill the cash sale, but an invoice is not printed. The sales order number is used as the reference for the accounting document, created in Financial Accounting.
Dealing with Problems and Complaints
If the transaction does not run smoothly, manual intervention is necessary. For example, if the required quantity of goods is not found in the warehouse, you need to adjust the delivery quantity. Equally, if the customer is not prepared to pay the agreed price, because, for example, the goods are scratched, you can change the price in the cash sale document.
In extreme cases, you can delete the entire transaction, starting with the delivery.
If the delivery is damaged before it is picked up but after it is paid for and there is no replacement stock, you can initiate a subsequent delivery.
If you make changes to the cash sale, you can issue a new cash sale invoice using the repeat printout function.
Creating a Cash Sale
In the initial screen, choose Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Sales.
Choose Order ® Create.
Enter the order type for cash sales (BV in the standard system) and, if necessary, the organizational data.
The values for sales organization, distribution channel and the division are usually proposed from user-defined parameters. Entries for the sales office and the sales group are optional.
Choose Enter.
Enter the following data:
Customer number of the sold-to party
Material numbers
Order quantities for the materials
Choose Enter.
If the system carries out an availability check and finds that there is insufficient stock for an order item to be delivered on the requested date, it displays a screen on which you can choose between several delivery proposals. Normally, in a cash sale, you only sell the quantity you can deliver on the spot.
Save your document.
The system automatically processes the delivery in the background and prints out a cash sale invoice. The amount of the sale is processed later in an order-related billing transaction. The amount is posted to financial accounting, using the order number as reference. Because this is a cash sale, no invoice is produced during the billing run.

What is the purpose of the 'Create Object View' option? I cannot find it in the documentation.

Hi Karen,
The Object Types are used to define the Parameters for the Callable Objects. We Can create the Object Views for the CAF Core Entity services or UME Pricipal Objects such as Users,Roles Groups etc. While creating the Object View we can select either of these and then we can create a view i..e. Select the required attributes from those Business Objects i.e. Entity Services or the Principals. Once we create the Object View, we can use them to define the Parameters for the callable Objects. While defining the parameters for Callable Objects, if you click the dropdown for 'Type', you'll see an entry 'Reference to BO'. If you select the entry, you'll see the list of Object Views you have created and you can select the Object View you want for defining that parameter. In short it means that you can create the Obect Views for the BOs i.e. CAF core Entity services and Pricipals. And then you can define the parameters for the Callable Objects with type 'Refence to BO' pointing to your object views.

What is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC

CAN ANY EXPLAIN ME
1.what is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC?
2. AND THE CONTENTS IN ITS TABS.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW.IT IS URGENT
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 28, 2008 11:42 AM

Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group, Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name), Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button, a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table entries by choosing Maintain.
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
1. When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
2. When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows:
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new entries.
Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save.
You can enter one record at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two step).

What's the purpose of negative posting ?

What's the purpose of negative posting ?

Hi
Pls check help provided by SAP
Negative stocks are necessary, for example, when goods issues are entered for organizational reasons prior to the corresponding goods receipts and the material is already physically located in the warehouse.
Once the goods receipts have been posted, the book inventory balance must again correspond to the physical stock, that is, the book inventory balance may no longer be negative.
Negative stocks are always a sign that physical movements must be be entered in the system at a later stage.
Example
1000 pieces of a material are delivered. Due to lack of time, the goods receipt is not yet entered in the system.
Physical stock: +1000 pieces
Book inventory balance: 0 pieces
The material is needed urgently and 100 pieces are withdrawn from the warehouse. The goods issue is entered in the system straightaway.
Physical stock: +900 pieces
Book inventory balance: -100 pieces
At the end of the day, a goods receipt is posted for 1000 pieces.
Physical stock: +900 pieces
Book inventory balance: +900 pieces
