Sarcastic post

Hi All,
Please, I need a suggestion by moderators and/or mentors. Please, read this [post|Re: Partial Delivery]. I'm angry by this behavior by two reasons, I'm so busy to read this kind of opinions or observations. And of course, in my opinion Lakshmipathi didn't do any mistake. Really, the answers were wrote in the same time (1 minute, perhaps seconds). And of course, in my opinion, Lakshmipathi deserves everyone's respect.
I think that this person need that somebody tell him off. I need to know if I might hope any threat if I tell him off (in a polite manner of course).
Any suggestion or advice is wellcomed.
Regards
Eduardo

Thanks for caring and I am really happy that when somebody stood behind me in such instances.
Coming to the issue, yes in the past, many times, I came across such unwanted comments and for few seconds, it hurts me a lot but after that I ignored. Like the same way, I treated the said thread also. Its all part of the game

Itunes Library Request: Apple, Is This Too Much To Ask??

Yes, I know there are other threads on the subject of Library placement, etc. But they tend to digress, and I believe my question is very simple. Here goes:
All of my music is presently on an external USB/FW drive (a 75gb partition of a 320gb drive, properly partitioned formatted as "MSDOS" with XP and OS X, so that OS X can read/write).
I want to establish my INITIAL iTunes Music Library on this external drive. iTunes v7.3(54) is installed -- BUT with no library yet. I also don't yet have either of the iTunes "library files,".itl or .xml".
All I want is to make this 15-20gb of music on the external drive become my iTunes library. And I am willing to have to connect the external in order to play the music.
Do I have to do perform any iTunes "gymnastics" to do this? I'm perfectly willing to create a new folder on the Ext Drive if iTune HAS to move the files (???) and let the files "moooove". But this can't be hard, can it??
Any help?
Many thanks in advance,
Ken S

What you need to do is delete the "iTunes" folder in
your Music directory in Home, then create the
"iTunes" folder on your external drive.
Now, make an alias of the "iTunes" folder on the
external drive, and copy it to the "Music" folder
under you Home directory. Voila.
WebCrasher-
First, THANK YOU! Frustrated when my question sat idle for two days, my subsequent sarcastic post lacked civility. But you still have the class to offer a serious technical response to my question (I fully expected to be flamed for my last post). Appeciated.
I'd just about decided to create the iTunes Music folder on the external drive, but hadn't considered placing an alias to the external data in a local folder (which I assume I would create after iTunes added all the music to its library, having first deleted the same folder?).
Two questions on your proposed solution:
1. Would I then have to re-SET my library location to my home folder (under Preferences|Advanced->SET)? And if so, would I also then have to "consolidate" (i.e., pretend to combine the library) using "Advanced|Consolidate Library" (from the GUI menu)? Can iTunes really be happy adding music, etc. to a "pseudo-Library" (the aliased folder) in my home directory?
and
2. Is there a significant advantage to this technique over simply letting iTunes manage it's Library on the external drive, as long as its two DB files - .itl and .xml - remain local? In either case I'd have to have the USB/FW external drive connected to the PowerBook to use iTunes, correct?
TIA,
Ken S

What is the Purpose of this Forum?

If it is to reduce traffic by driving people away, forcing them to log on simply to read to see if there is an answer to their question, or to see if there is a question they might be able to answer, then you guys are on the right track!
If the original idea of having people help each other is still around, forcing them to log in just to read is "dumb as a bag of hammers" (local expression).
Have seen this brain-dead stunt pulled in other forums (e.g. OCWORKBENCH) - after a few weeks, they usually figure it out.
Sheesh.

Who are you talking to?

One can take many opinions, and make observations but sarcastic posts like this don't belong in these forums and I wont tolerate them here, it does nothing but start problems. If you have problems with the way MSI does things then I suggest you take it somewhere else, because no one from MSI will see this.

The "Full Internet"

I don't get it. I just purchased my first iPad 2. So far I have not had any problems viewing the "full internet". Every single web site I visit regularly seems to have no trouble presenting video clips. Case in point... Yahoo! I loaded the exact same web page (att.my.yahoo.com) I visit on my iMac (with Flash installed). All videos play fine. I've download as number of apps for specific web sites, like NPR, ABC News, my local news channel. I can't seem to find anything that won't work on my iPad 2. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, you mean other than by satanically and sarcastically posting here, not having a valid question, risking starting another long, boring Flash thread, flaming a certain segment of posters, and in general just tweaking people?
You aren't trying to play games in FaceBook, use Hulu, etc.

Answer this question regarding Bluetooth headsets

After spending what seems like weeks researching a BT headset for my 3GS, it occurred to me... why?
Let's say I was going to choose between the Klipsch Image S4i Premium Noise-Isolating Headset with 3-Button Apple Control (not BT) and the Sennheiser MM 200 Bluetooth Wireless Headset (BT). Both are about the same price.
Q1: Sound Quality (Voice and Music)? I'd think BT has an uphill battle over a copper wire.
Q2: Battery Life? Obviously the S4i wins this.
So, am I really going to be unhappy that the wire goes to the phone in my pocket? I am not being sarcastic here. Does it really matter?

I grok the mono in-ear headsets and how for some they are useful. I grok the Motoroker headsets that are completely on your head without wires and how for some they are useful. But the MM 200 has lots of wires, just not one to the iPhone itself. I was asking who felt the cost, hassle of charging a battery, and planned obsolescence since the battery was not replaceable, was worth it.
P.S. I found your sarcastic post neither funny nor useful. Not appreciated.

Ipod 5th Generation - Post IoS update No Siri

Hello, I have only seen one post on here and it was regarding a 4th generation ipod and Siri. I was really excited to see the new update and was hoping to get Siri for my ipod touch 5th g but it didnt come on my ipod? Can someone tell me if there is a way to find out what happened? or how i can install it? or some help please? In my ipod it says my Model is: MD057LL 5th gen. correct? Esp. since i got it for xmas just a few months ago.
Thanks so much!

@cliftonfromrichmond - Dood they did rip me off and heres why - when the new iOS came on my screen *to install* it said it would be installing siri and guess what - it didnt! So ya i feel a bit cheated! No matter im going to get the new one for xmas anyways just thought its a lame thing for apple to do! But ya thanks sooo much for your sarcasm! *inserts sarcasm right back atcha!
@krehetin - yep sounds like were both in the same boat =S fortunatly i guess at least i know now thanks to illaass and ya guess well have to get the new one to get siri! Its no wonder the white 4g's were reduced down to 189.00 last xmas >_<" had i known i would have waited!
I got a new flash for ya: No where before, during, or after the upgrade did the installer application display any message stating that Siri would be installed on your device. I know this because I upgraded my 4th gen iPod Touch and my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.
And FYI, I was not being sarcastic, I was telling you the honest unvarnished truth. There have been hundreds, if not thousands of people just like you who for one reason or another were either misinformed, or mistakenly believed that Siri would be installed on any device that could be upgraded to iOS 6.
What troubles me the most about this whole situation is that Apple included numerous disclaimers to the contrary in all of its announcements concerning iOS 6, and yet when members of this community pointed out those disclaimers, we were called liars or told that the disclaimers were in error.
If you care to take the time, look back through the community archives and search for messages regarding the confusion surrounding the release of the white 4th generation Touch. Everyone (and this included several vendors) thought these devices were 5th generation iPods, when in fact they were just 4th gens with a white bezel. Apparently this was a repeat of a previous fiasco regarding the 8 gig "3rg gen" Touch (Which by the way was actually a 2nd gen being sold as a 3rg gen.).
Sadly, neither Apple nor the myriad Apple centric web sites, blogs, or main stream media outlets did anything to correct that situation, speculation and rumors ran rampant, and as we have all seen it snowballed and got out of control.
Unfortunately you and others like you are all victims of that hype.
With that being said, I would highly recommend that instead of believing every Tom, Dick, and Harry that uploads to You Tube, or posts their mindless drivel to the blog-o-sphere, do your own research. Educate yourself. Find out what goes into making the technology that we love to hate do the wondrous things we take for granted. Hopefully, with a little understanding, you won't get caught up in all of the hype and be carried along with the ignorant mob again.

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!
Jacob
P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

Posting the Expenses of Free Goods

All SD Gurus
I have some doubt in SD-Module.
We have Trading Business, in that the Trade offers ie 100+10 Like that.... is presently posting in VPRS - Cogs (During PGI) only. But finance wants to post the values of trade offers (10 pcs) to Marketting expenses (During Bill Release to Finance), Presently during Bill release these trade offers are not considered for pricing.
According to my Current setting Free Goods Item Category is marked as Statistically. So it not posting my PR00 Conditions in Accounts.
Any help on this subject will be highly appriciated.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Vishal

Thanks, I have maintained all setting for Free goods. System is not posting any values @ time of Invoice in accounts as my free goods Item category is statistical. If I remove this setting then I have to maintain the PR00 - Base Condition (Mandaotry) which will post amount in Sales Domestic G/L Account.
Any alternative solution?

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!

Possible to clear vendor open item against already posted payment document?

Hi
Can you advise if it is possible to clear an open item against already posted payment/clearing doc? Here is the background to the scenario:
An invoice was posted with transaction FB60. This was subsequently picked up in the payment run F110 and cleared by payment document number 200005678. The item went to the bank on the paymnet file and was paid out to the vendor. The transaction reference, which appeared on the incoming bank statemnet was the payment document number 200005678.
Subsequently it was discovered that the original invoice should have been posted with reference to a PO using MIRO. The requirement now is to reverse the paymnet documnet 200005678 in SAP, then reverse the document that was posted using FB60. After this the invoice will be posted using MIRO. This will create an open item on the vendor account.
This item will not be piad out again. Therefore the requirement is to try clear that open item against the previously posted payment document 200005678.
Is there any way to clear this vendor open item against the originally posted payment document 200005678?? Or any other advice on how this scenario can be handled in SAP?
Thank for your help.
Mike

Hi,
I tried that option in our test system. I ran FBRA and entered Paymnet Documnet Number (+Clearing Doc Number), Company Code, Fiscal Year.
Then chose menu option Clearing -> Reset Cleared Items.
The system pops up a window asking for a reversal reason and reversal date. I use 01 and posting date of today.
The system now posts another cleared document. That document places the invoice as an open item on the vendor account. It does not place the Payment Document as an open item on the account.
When I go to F-44 only the open vendor invoice is showing there. There is no open paymnet document.
Is there perhaps some configuration setting that stops the placement of the paymnet document as an open item when reset?
Thanks for your help again.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

How to Open and Close Posting Periods in MM

Hi,
I have opened posting periods for 10/2008 first and by mistake even 11/2008 and 12/2008 using MMPV.
Now when I am trying to do PGI from VL02N, the system says postings are only possible for 11/2008 and 12/2008.
How to close these two periods and default to 10/2008.
Please kindly help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gopi Krishna
SAP QA Lead

It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.
If there has already been postings after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/03/2008 for Mar. 2008 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of Feb 2008 as well as Mar. 2008
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.
Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Other way of doing it is follow these steps( But try this method in Sand box Only):
1. Go to OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. Go to OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.Go to OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

Hi,
Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc.
For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required.....
Period 1 is for regular postings ...
