  • Accrual plan  and accrual band ... can it be date tracked

    Is there a way we can date track accrual bands on the accrual plan.
    The client want the new accrual band be effective as of 01-apr-2011. Can we date track the accrual bands.
    If not what is the best way to make such a change. Accrual formula change is the only way I can think of. Any other suggestions?
    Thank you,

    Accrual bands are not date-tracked, no.
    I steer clear of Accrual Bands altogether because it forces you to create separate Accrual Plans for each sets of T&Cs, which I don't like. Instead what I do is:
    * Model the accrual bands in a custom User Defined Table (range-based)
    * Use the column as something that determines various T&Cs, eg, Grade
    * Use the Rows to define each Accrual Band for each set of T&Cs, which the Value being the amount of holiday
    I then use the GET_TABLE_VALUE Fast Formula function to retrieve the value according to the employee's T&Cs.
    Importantly, User Defined Tables are of course date-tracked as well.

  • Scenario Planning in portal

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how and when should i use the Calculate Accruals button in scenario planning? I have already assigned 2 different scenarios to this particular scenario set, and i know that if i want to see the results of these 2 scenarios i can click on "Show Analysis".
    I'd appreciate if anyone can explain what this is for and steps to how i can use the Calculate Accruals button

    The majority of the work here is around configuring your Web Dispatcher and Apache Reverse proxy. The work on the portal is straight forward enabling of SSL.
    You can follow http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm for setting this up.
    what level I need to configure SSL and how do I proceed in both scenarios?
    Your question itself says where you need SSL. SSL is required where ever you need HTTPS communication.
    how do I proceed in both scenarios?
    From a portal perspective, the configuration should remain the same.
    Do I have to install SSL at portal, web dispatcher or at Apache level?
    SSL needs to be configured at all the 3 levels if you are looking at end to end SSL implementation.
    See the following for possible SSL implementation options:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d8/a922d7f45f11d5996e00508b5d5211/frameset.htm
    https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-115509
    Will SSL termination work for scenario 2?
    Yes this should work - see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/36/fd39eacf4cde4a8fe32d7f29b3db16/frameset.htm
    However in case of SSL Termination, the request to your portal from the web dispatcher will be sent as HTTP.
    I would recommend you to take a step by step (backward approach).
    First, enable SSL on your portal and make sure it works - going directly to the server.
    Then, you can introduce the Web Dispatcher - and test if every thing works going through the web dispatcher.
    Finally - you can test the end to end flow - with your Reverse proxy involved.

  • Scenario Planning..

    Hi friends..
       Is scenario planning a new function avialable in CRM 5.0 ?
         When is scenario planning useful..? have any one used this functionallity..?
          If yes any example by which it is easy to understand...

    hello Sanjana,
    Scenario planning is done to compare which Marketing project grouped under a scenario would be an idealistic choice for optimum return.
    A Scenario set is created and the relevand Accrual model is selected and planned start and end dates are mentioned. We add projects in the scenario and move them from Scenario scope to planning scope, we define a couple of other scenarios with marketing Projects grouped under them and we do a comparative analysis by selecting  the appropriate accrual model.
    Hope this helps.

  • Plan and Actual at WBS Elements without activities

    Hi Experts,
      I am in need of a small help from you. My scenario is like this:
    I have equipments/material as WBS Elements( Level1,2...). I have no activities/materials.
    I planned the costs using CJ40 and Budgeted using CJ30 and confirmed all the WBS Elements by entering actual dates for the same.
    Now i want to see planned/actuals costs in report. When i checked in one standard report it is showing 0 for both planned and actuals.
    I also want to have a brief step-by step procedure for Project with only WBS Elements, i.e., from Initiation to Settlement.
    Can anyone please help me in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Suresh.D.

    The following is in answer to
    "I also want to have a brief step-by step procedure for Project with only WBS Elements, i.e., from Initiation to Settlement."
    Most probable scenario would consist of following steps
    Create PDef - Create WBS (either copying from template or manually) - Plan costs - Roll up planned costs - Budget (at top level) - Budget distribute - budget Release - WBS release - Post actual costs - run cost / revenue variance report - settle costs against the WBS - TECO project - Close Project.
    I believe I haven't missed on any important aspect.
    Would appreciate inputs from others in this effort.
    Hope this information was useful.

  • Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

    Hi all,
    We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
    So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
    The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
    We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
    1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
    2  - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
    3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
    Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Lucas

    Hi Lucas,
    You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
    You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
    Curr-Currency of the Cocd
    Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
    Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
    Only all items- blank
    Credit-X
    Transfer DL-X
    Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
    Hope it clarifies.....
    Thanks,

  • Invoicing plan and framework order

    Dear All SAP Gurus,
    I am very new to this scenarios .I just read about invoicing plan and FO document type, through that I understand that FO purchase order and MRIS are linked. Still I am very confused about this . My ideas are not clear what is frame work order and what is invoice plan settlement and when these to be used? What are configuration required to these?
    Please guide breifly.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Mahesh

    Hi,
    Frame work order-FO.
    Frame work order is normally used  for procuring the consumables  and also can use for services. In Frame work order we do not require the GR.Direct invoice can be done with out GR.
    We can not use Frame work order for stock materials. In Frame work order we have to maintain the  validity period and the value limit.
    Item category  must be maintained as -B limit and account assignment category also should be maintained.
    Invoicing Plan.
    The invoicing plan facilitates the largely automatic creation and payment of invoices both for recurring procurement transactions such as rental or leasing payments and transactions involving settlement in stages (such as payment for the phases of a building project as they are completed

  • Load Plan and empty variables on ODI 11G

    Hi everyone,
    I am working with ODI 11g (11.1.1.7.0) and I want to setup a variable with the Load Plan, however I am not able to update and retrieve the variable value inside of a case that is always keeping the initial value. Even the operation history shows the variable value empty. Have you ever used Load plan and noticed this strange behavior?
    Regards,
    Angelo

    Okay let me try to help you on this.
    Oracle Data Integrator agents process each scenario execution instance as a session. Each session exists in the agent as a separate thread of the agent Java process.
    When a scenario is executed on an agent, the agent creates a session in the repository that corresponds to this scenario's instance. The agent reads each task of this session from the repository, processes it, and writes the result - the return code, message and tasks metrics such as the duration or number of rows processed - into the repository.
    Hence multiple session multiple thread.
    Hope you are clear now.
    Thanks.

  • Planning and Scoping- Data conversion and testing

    hello Gurus
    Good people i'm looking for your help in these areas.....
    1) Planning and scoping for data conversion....we will be in the process of acquiring information from the client soon. So, what sort of information or questions do i need to get from the client and also the plan needed?
    2) Test planning...... things i need to get from the client to prepare for this plan???
    thanks
    rasham

    Hi,
    the question which ou have asked is really very broad. so let me give some idea regarding the planning of data conversion. first of all you should identify which all objects you want to be transfered to SAP, obviously In MM material master, inforecord source list e.tc. then you need to decide which SAP tool you will be using to upload these data like LSMW, CATT e.t.c.
    once it is decided what and how you are going to transfer then comes the Functional spec for data conversion in which you will give the details of data mapping in SAP. these FS will be translated to Tech Spec by technical consultant.
    Test Planning,
    first of all you will decide what type of testing you want to cary out like String test, Unit test, and integration test but these are decided by the testing team not Func consultant but anyway once it is decide how many level of testing is carried out then as a func consultant you will have to create test scenario for integration testing,

  • Difference between Rebate rate and accrual rate

    Dear Experts,
    Can you explain the difference between Rebate rate and accrual rate in rebate processing ?
    If possible, give any example so that it would be easier to understand.
    Thnx in advance
    regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar,
    I also agree that rebate is an amount which is derived from either sales order or billing doc.
    No it's not; only billing documents update rebate agreements.
    ... two terms i.e. Rebate rate and Accrual Rate maintained in condition records for rebate agreement.
    Accrual Rate = The rate used to accrue the value (provision) before settlement takes place.
    Rebate rate = The rate used to generate the real credit amount to the customer when settlement takes place.
    Usually both rates are set the same but, because if scales are used in the rebate rate, then it is usual to manually set the accrual rate at the expected rebate rate based on the planned sales volume.
    If I am not wrong, the condition technique it it the accrual rate which determined not the rebate rate.
    Not correct; the condition technique is used to determine both rates in the rebate condition.
    Also i tried to create scales for rebate, this can be done with rebate rate and not with accrual rate. Then what is its use.
    Scales are used when the amount is paid on a variable rate depending on the total customer consumption. The idea is that the more the customer is purchasing, the more rebate he will receive, also on its previous purchases.
    Accrual rate is fixed (no scale).
    Hope it helps.

  • An SAP Solution for capital planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?

    Is there an SAP Solution for the Planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?
    A solution that provides planning, budgeting, and tracking for capital assets through the entire life cycle of each asset, from the initial request through the final disposal.
    The solution needs to be able to run “scenarios.” A scenario contains equipment that may potentially be purchased. Scenario items are used to help determine cost, capacity, and cash flow feasibility.

    Hi
    What you suggested is the ideal approach...
    However, if they say that the budget allocated to capital purposes (70%) applies to both capital projects and expenses and they would like to control it together, but have reports separately, it is not possible with standard SAP...
    If they want to have just one IO for both cap and exp, You can suggest them a work around to capture CAPITAL or EXPENSE in a ref field (XREF1 in BSEG) and you can run KOB1 with XREF1 displayed in it....
    In standard KOB1, XREF1 is not displayed, you have to use Exit COOMEP01 to include the fields you want... Add XREF1 to the Structure CI_RKPOS and write your code in the include ZXKAEPU01 of EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001
    Without an identifier @ the time of booking the transaction in the system (Either by way of IO or a ref field), you wont be able to generate reports later on

  • Shift wise planning and scheduling

    Dear All,
    Here we have a scenario in which we have to do shift wise planning and scheduling.
    The shift is not fixed.
    It can be 1 shift on particular day and it might be 2 shifts another day. They will plan for this many hours per day for future.
    The scheduling should be done for this many hours which inturn is as many shifts. The working hours per day is not fixed as well. It totally depends on the requirement. So the planning and scheduling should happen based on hour basis and will be different for each day. I need your inputs for mapping this scenario.

    Balaji,
    You have not given any meaningful requirements, therefore it is impossible for me to make suggestions.  What you have said so far implies total randomness.  If all the events are random, there is no planning, only tracking.
    Exactly what do you mean when you say 'planning'?  Material planning in ERP does not consider shift sequences/timings/schedules.  Capacity planning, where work schedules are managed, does consider shift type data, but only takes place only after the orders have been established.
    Scheduling is done based on Work Centers.  A work center can represent one or more machines, one or more people, or a combination of the two.  Work centers can have shifts.  The number of shifts can vary over time.  The shifts can have various working schedules.  The shift working schedules can vary over time.
    I suggest that you describe a single specific scenario you would like to discuss.  Perhaps then the forum can offer some suggestions.
    Best Regards,
    DB49
