SD Process Design for Plantation industry - need advise

Hi all experts,
I am implementing for a crude palm oil plantation company, in which the general flow of the sales process from Estate to the Milling Plant is as below:
Sales Order --> Delivery Order* --> PGI --> Billing*
Sales Order: The fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is harvested and then the amount required by the Buyer is fulfilled via creation of a sales order.
Delivery Order: At this stage, it will interface with the Weighbridge system to carry out the recording of delivery quantity. Truck without the FFB is weighed once at entrance of the estate, and truck with FFB is weighed at exit at estate.
PGI: Goods Issue is carried out with the recording of the actual quantity from the weighbridge interface back to SAP.
Billing: The billing doc is created based on PGI quantity done.
This looks pretty straightforward, but there are few concerns from the above process as highlighted in the asterisk (*) section:
Issues:
1. During the Delivery portion, data of the Driver, name, person loading and weight loaded need to be recorded at the same time to carry out the incentive payment to the drivers (both internal and external drivers) with incentives calculated on per tonnage basis.
2. Secondly, during Billing process, the amount payable would be calculated based on the grading of the FFB + the which year the FFB is planted (i.e. different year would have different pricing per ton).
Need advise on how to make the above two issues work smoothly along with the process above.
Opinion, comments and feedbacks is much appreciated.
Thanks.

The loader and driver data is integrated to PP and the HR master module is leveraged to maintain driver/loader data master and payment is made to driver via customized program with customised calculation of salary.
The FFB is handled using PP module for Production and material posted via MIGO in MM and increases stock take manually.
SD to handle sales of finished goods instead..

Dear,
Try defining by this way ...
In material master:
Sales UOM = PCs. (Master Data->Sales Data Tab->Sales UOM) ; Inventory UOM = PCs. (Master Data->Stock Data Tab->Stock UOM).
If you want for purchases you can define at Master Data->Purchase Data Tab->Purchasing UOM.
Maintain the correct conversions for the materials.

Which interface for documents for process manufacturing for chem industry?

Hi,
My partner is looking for a technical contact who could help him in finding the right integration to manage technical documentation for process manufacturing in the chemical industry.
Not sure if this is the right forum but any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Seher

Hello Seher,
as there are several ways in SAP to manage documents I need som emore information to give you a reliable answer:
What is the process you want to support, what do you want to do with the documents?
Do these technical documents have a lifecycle?
What are the requirements to "manage technical documentation"?
What do you mean with "integration"? E.g.: Do you want to link a document to an SAP object?
Where are the documents today, file server?
Best regards,
Michael

Long time iPhone user trying to activate a VZ iPhone for friend and need advise on activating.

I've got a Mac running current versions of everything, the iPhone was plugged into iTunes and is updated, backed up and synced.
It won't activate.
I have tried:
*228
*Activation through VZ website. It recognized her last device and had her iPhone acknowledged as her new device and on the last step said it could not activate. her previous phone is an LG phone with a data plan and her account is compliant with specs ready for the iPhone.
*I called Verizon for tech support and the CSRs are freaking out and reading a provided script and saying there is no available tech support for the VZ iPhone until the 10th and they could not assist me with activation.
I've seen that people with the early delivery have had their phones activated and I'm wanting any advice on what else to try.
*228

ScoopBT wrote:
No.
Should it be off when I am doing something in particular to activate the iPhone and deactivate the LG?
Yes, the old phone must be turned off.
It's like this when replacing any phone on Verizon. If the old phone is on, the process won't work, and you generally get no helpful error message, just Activation Failed. And of course this always happens just when you are desperate to get that nice shiny new phone working!

Design for mobile devices

Hi all, first time here, please be gentle with me!
So, I've got a site I designed and maintain for a client and
he recently had an enquiry asking if the thing could be viewed on
an O2 PDA (UK mobile phone company branded PDA). He, of course,
asked me, and I said I'll find out.
Currently I doubt the site will work - it's designed for the
web, needs (mostly) a mouse to navigate and is 800px wide so I
can't see any way it'd work on a phone! So I'm guessing I'd need to
do a WML version ... right? Or is there an easy way to make an XML
site work on mobile devices?
Secondly would mobile devices work with the PHP script that
handles a members only area and subscription packages? Currently 3
pages of the site are protected using PHPGuardDog (soon to be
replaced) which manages user accounts and links them to PayPal
subscriptions. So to get to those pages a user has to have an
active, paid up, account and then enter their username and
password. Would that work on a mobile device?
Thanks - and if these are dumb questions, sorry, I'll go
hide!

Need advise on preparing .ai files for print house for labels design

Greetings!
I just got a freelance job to do label design for commercial products (cleaning, food products, etc).
Its a huge task as the company have lots of products in the market and they decided to drop the design
company that were doing the labels for them and hire me to be the main designer.
Since my main work with Illustrator and Photoshop is been for Web Design and screen graphics,
I am not sure how to use Illustrator CS5 the best way for preparing the final files to send to a print house
according to European or US norms, I would like to have some help from other users that maybe are experience with this kind of job.
My main concerns for now are:
1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
2. Pantones or CMYK ? And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
    (I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
3. About the size of the labels, if its a straight shape, like a square, you make the artboard on that size and just put some bleed,
    but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
   Since the artboard can´t have the same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Hoping to have some help from the community here, you can send me some links, tuts,
everything that can help me to understand all this kind of process, I will be much appreciate.
Thanks!

Some of the following (but not all) repeats, but elaborates on or clarifies what others have said.
First, though: While I certainly don't mean to discourage you, you will be far better off getting started if you realize this:
Designing for commercial-quality print is a hugely different world from designing for the web. You are now dealing with characteristics and limitations of real-world, physical machines, inks, substrates, and many-step workflows. The most tragic (and potentially disasterous) error web-only designers (and their clients) make is naively thinking that moving from web design to print design is a simple lateral move involving nothing more than a few quick answers to a bullet list of questions (CMYK vs. spot, etc., etc.) If you fall into that camp, you are asking for serious and costly trouble.
A user forum like this is a very poor place to educate yourself. Forums like this are populated by more beginners than experts, many of whom are far too eager to post answers. More often than otherwise, answers are--if not downright wrong--not best-practice.
You need to gain a working knowledge of the printing processes with which you wll be dealing. Take a class at the local tech school. Visit the printing houses (and don't carry a designer's chip on your shoulder). Look for any opportunity to get your fingers dirty; offer to do some grunt-work in a press room to gain exposure. Read authoritative books on the subject.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
f1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
Nowadays, PDF is the preferred delivery format for whole documents. If the printing house is placing the artwork in a program that cannot place PDF as a spot graphic, it is conceivable that they may need EPS. Depends on the printing house's workflow. In print work, you need to communicate with the printing house--and you need to learn to speak their language.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
2. Pantones or CMYK ?
Don't say "Pantones." Pantone is a company. Say "spot color." Pantone makes both process and spot inks. Pantone is not the only source for spot color. Your question is "spot color or CMYK process." The answer depends on the specific project.
Labels may involve CMYK process, spot colors, or a combination of the two. You can't just add colors to your design willy-nilly. You have to plan and design for it. It depends on the printing budget, the printing capabilitites of the printing house, the printing method, and even the design (which may affect the substrate, which may not be suitable for process).
When designing for print, don't think in terms of colors. Always think in terms of inks, because that's what you're really dealing with. Each time you add an ink, you add a workflow process, and therefore cost. As soon as you add a number of inks in the design that exceeds the number of inkwells on the press on which it will be run, you have just necessitated another press pass.
Labels also commonly involve clear or translucent inks (varnishes), liquid lamination (flood or spot), metallic inks, and/or foils. Each of those count as an additional ink or even a different work process. Sometimes certain inks require drying time after previously-laid inks, which also affects costs.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
Again, best practice depends on the printing house and its workflow. For example, it can be a no-brainer labor (i.e.; money) savings to gang multiple instances of a label design onto a design page (Artboard) set up to the size of the press sheet.
It can be advantageous to draw die cuts on a separate Layer, also ganged to match the artwork layout. Same may apply to foils, varnishes, and embosses. It's often advantageous to draw trim and fold marks in the bleed area of the page layout. It's often advantageous to add registration marks in a press-sheet layout.
Again, best-practice depends on the project--but the economical and turn-around advantages can be significant.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
(I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
Whenever you catch yourself thinking "I have no idea if Illustrator..."--read the instructions.
Most graphics programs (including Illustrator) provide options for including basic "printer marks" (trim and registration marks, separation labels) outboard of the page size. That doesn't mean it isn't often advantageous to add your own. For example, the auto printer marks setting will only add one set of trim marks for the whole page. That's pretty useless in a multi-up layout, which is quite common in label design.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
Pages (Artboards in Illustrator) are rectangular. One typically provides die cuts (and/or varnishes, foils, embosses, etc., etc.) as elements drawn accurately on a Layer dedicated to the purpose.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Since the artboard can´t have the are same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
There is no "background." This is an object-based program. Where there is no object, there is nothing. By default, even white fills don't mean "white ink"; they mean "no ink." (Remember, think inks, not colors.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Illustrator is primarily a vector based drawing program. Vector graphics are by nature and even by definition sharp edged. When vector programs try to provide "soft & fuzzy" features, they do it in either of two ways: either by programmatically creating additional vector paths and parameters (blends, grads, mesh grads), or by resorting to creation of non-vector "effects" (raster images). Whether such features correctly handle spot colors depends on the feature, and even on the version of the program.
So whenever working with spot color--in any program--you have to stay consciously aware of what you are actually doing (what kind of objects you are creating) when you apply such features. That's why it does no good in a user forum to speak of nebuous designerly terms like "highlights" when you ask technical questions. In order to get a correct answer, you ultimately have to state the kind of objects you are dealing with (and feature, and version, etc.).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
1. PDF?? I only use .pdf to show the client the designs before approval but never as final file...also I have heard from some many places that if the print house needs to open the file on a different design program the best is to send them .eps
PDF is a delivery format. As such, it is very versatile. Design comps is only one of its many uses. But PDF is not meant to be an editable format. When you deliver a PDF that was created by Illustrator and which is fully editable on the receiving end, you are really embedding in the file a full second version of the file as native AI content. Whether this AI-native content is included is controlled by you when you export the PDF.
Editing PDFs that do not have the AI-native content embedded can be very cumbersome and problematic. Again: PDF is a delivery format, not an editing format. Ideally, the printing house should not have to edit your press-ready files. It is supposed to be up to you to build them correctly. That should be your goal.
I expressly forbid printing houses from editing my delivery files. If an edit is needed, it comes back to me, and I make the edits. If a printing house chooses to edit one of my files without permission--and a problem result--they eat it; not me.
Yes, yes, if print-side minor editing (like the afore-mentioned ingredients boilerplate scenario) is part of the established workflow, that's fine; its assumedly been agreed upon as the cost-efficient workflow. But generally speaking, the kind of designer who routinely relies upon the printing house as a "safety measure" to fix his files is...well...exactly the kind of designer I would not hire.
By the way: Hearing something "from many places" (especially in online user forums) in this business is no indication of correctness or best-practice. Quite often, the most-cited advice is the bad advice. Case-in-point: The ever-cited myth that everything for print should be rasterized to 300 ppi. 300 ppi is usually needless oversampling. This is especially true in reference to mere raster effects like those controlled by Illustrator's Document Raster Effects Resolution setting. 300 ppi is almost never needed for the most common uses of such effects: blurry drop shadows, glows, etc., etc. "Fuzzy" is the very purpose of those effects. All you have to concern yourself about is the potential for visible pixelation, which is directly tied to halftone ruling.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...what I was mention is to be able create like a table where you list the pantones use, same time to put measures guides on the artboard itself, is this possible to do in illustrator?
Again, separation names are included in the Printer Marks option of the Print Dialog. See the documentation. Depending upon your delivery format and workflow, the printing house may not even use Illustrator's printer marks; they may use those in one of their prepress programs.
But you should always check the seps before sending a press-ready file. You can do this in AI's print dialog, or in Acrobat Pro. Regardless, it's your job to make sure the project color-separates correctly. It is very common to "finish" a job thinking you have been very careful and everything is right. It is just as common to preview the seps and find an object on the wrong separation plate, or knocking out something it shouldn't, or overprinting something it should knock out.
(There's also the whole matter of trapping, which this thread has yet to mention.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...imagine I have a label that is a star with 200x200 px, and the artboard is white background with 300x300px,
I will add (with as much force as I can muster) my admonition to that which has already been given: when talking about actual, physical measure, forget about the web. Forget about Photoshop's rulers. Forget about pixels. A pixel is not a unit of measure. If you think it is, tell me: How big, in inches, is a pixel? I might as well ask you "how high is up?"
If you tell a printing house that the trim size of your document is 600 by 1200 pixels, he will (and should) laugh at you.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
if I print the artboard on my laser printer I get the label with the background also, so how does the print house manage to
not have the background of the artboard when they print?
If you print the artboard on your laser printer, you do not "get the background." Think about it: Do you have any white toner in your laser printer? (Think inks, not colors.)
All the above is offered in a spirit of helpfulness (and some tongue-in-cheek jest). Take it as such. Bottom line, though--and this is not meant to be the least bit insulting--unless the company you have just contracted with is a small mom & pop shop and/or has very basic labeling projects, it really sounds as if you are already in well over your head. I am certainly not saying any of this is rocket science. It isn't. A dedicated person can learn its ins-and-outs in relatively short time if that time is well spent. But an online user forum is a very error-prone, incomplete, inefficient, and therefore poor way to learn it. It doesn't sound like you have that much time to waste.

Need BOM related solution for Textile Industry (Weaving proces)

HIi,
Made to Order Strategy:
Every times customer sends the specification of product. Specification format as given below:
Ex. 80x100/154x80*3-118u201D 4/1 Twill
Details of specifications:
     80: Count of EPI (Ends Per Inch)
     100: Count of PPI (Picks Per Inch)
     154: EPI
     80: PPI
     3: Insertation
     118u201D u2013 Width in Inch
     4/1 Twill : Design of Fabric
Operations Details:
1 Warping
2. Sizing
3. Weaving
4. Quality Inspection
5. Packing
As Is Business Process:
There are mainly four production lines viz. Warping, Sizing, Weaving and Quality Inspection. For all the production lines the individual machine work centers will be as listed below with brief description:
1.     Sectional Warping:
A kind of Warping specially used to prepare fabrics for shirting. In sectional warping dyed yarns are used to prepare warping beam. The end constraint of sectional warping is 720 ends at a time. The actual capacity of Sectional warping is 800 MTR/min. This activity is job work for DEESAN group.
2.     Direct warping:
Direct warping process is used to prepare warping beam. The end constraint of warping is 1088 ends per beam. Machine width of the beam in 2200 mm, speed of warping varying from 300 MTR to 1200 MTR per minute depending upon the construction required. It has backup procedure for next round. Uploading speed   for single yarn is 8 yarn / min / person.
3.      Sizing:
Sizing process is used to prepare specific number of EPI/ beam as per the requirement of construction. A calculated no of warp beam used to prepare a single sizing beam. Speed of sizing 45 to 55 MTR / minute depending on the requirement of fabric.
4.     Preparation of Drawing:
This process is used to preparation of new drawing for the loom machine. Drawing includes frame & reed. It will take 12 hr for 2 persons to prepare a single drawing i.e. 8000 ends per shift. This activity given as job work to some group of people.
5.     Weaving:
Two types of weaving machines used are CAM and DOBBY. Fabric to fabric PPI is varying, the capacity of loom machine depends upon the PPI so the capacity of loom machines varying with the type of fabric. CAM is used specially for plain fabrics.
6.     Quality Inspection:
The beams of fabrics coming from looming machine are inspected on Inspection machine. 100% fabrics are inspected on QA machine for further grading, which is then bifurcated in Export, Local and chindi type.
7.     Rolling:
Rolling machine is used for rolling of inspected fabric on card board rolls according to the quality of fabric. A roll contain of maximum 350 MTR of fabric. Which are then packed with LDPE followed by HDPE with appropriate coding on rolls.
Material Requirement:
For ex. 80x100/154x90*3-118u201D 4/1 Twill
Order Qty.: 20000 M
Currently they are using single level BOM.
Formulas for calculate raw material requirements as given below:
Warp wt / mtr = (EPIWidthCrimp) /(1693*Count of EPI)
          = (154 * 118 * 1.025)/(1693 * 80)
          = 0.137524
          = 0.138 Kg/Mtr
Weft wt / mtr = (PPIInsertationWidth * Crimp) /(1693*Count of PPI)
          = (9031181.025)/(1693100)
          = 0.192891
          = 0.193 Kg/Mtr
Total Qty req:
Warp = 0.138 * 20000 + add 5% loss
     = 2898 KG
Weft = 0.193 * 20000 + add 4% loss
     = 4014 KG
Packaging material requirement :
1. Paper tube = Total order qty / approximately for 300 m 1 paper tube required + 5% loss
          = 20000 / 300 *1.05
          = 70
2. HDPE sheet = No. of paper tube * 0.4 KG
      = 70 * 0.4
     = 28 KG
3. LDPE sheet = No. of paper tubes * 0.15 KG
          = 70 * 0.15
          = 10.5 KG
Chemical consumption in terms of yarn on KG basis. Its combination of 4-6 chemicals depends on construction to construction also material availability.
Note: We will consume chemicals against cost center.
Production planning at execution time:
Sizing and warping calculation:
1.     Sizing :
EPI per inch = 154
On loom will be = 154 * 1.025
           = 157.85
Total no of ends for 118u201D width = 157.85 * 118
                    = 18626
Add one more ends per 1000 ends = 18626 / 1000
                    = 19 ends
Total no of ends = 18626 + 19
          = 18645 for sizing
Warping :
Warping m/c capacity of output is 1088 Ends per set/beam.
Speed of machine 300-1200 MPM.
So for sizing we need 18645 ends. Now we want to calculate no warp set required for sizing & no. of ends per warp set.
Ends required per set = 18645 / 18 = 1036
     i.e. 18 * 1036 = 1 Sizing set
We need total yarn on KG basis
Issue related to BOM:
1.     How We can feet below 2 issues in BOM
a.     we want to calculate RM(Yarn) material requirement in Unit of u201CENDu201D
NOTE: Procurement of Raw material Unit- KG as well as it depends no. of ends required for warp set / beam. i.e. its multiple of yarn cone required for 1 warp set.
As per Bom of Raw Martial Unit- Ends (EA)
b.     Also we want to calculate no of warp set required for sizing and no of ends required for warping process.

Hi Pankaj,
Hope you might have completed the project for Textile industry. I need to know implementation in Textile and some specific process. If you can share some documentation for Textile industry would be very helpful for me. My id k.anamika06 at gmail

Oracle Procurement/Sourcing :- Need advise on an implementation design

Dear Guru's,
Need advise on an implementation design
Problem Summary :-
Our client(say "X") is contracted to perform certain business functions for their client (Say"Y")
Say "X" is do sourcing (RFP,RFQ) functions till PO creation,receiving in a excel based custom application ( Not through oracle EBS) for client "Y".
So "X" is not responsible for paying for those services and "Y" pays for those receipts.
We want to implement Oracle EBS Advance procurement solution for their above functions and replace the custom application processes.
But client "X" is not accepting advance procurement solution as they("X") are not paying for the services and they don't want to fit this solution in Oracle EBS as this may cause legal issues.
Questions:-
1. Whats the best design solution for this type of scenario to fit the custom process into Oracle EBS procurement ?
2. Can we follow the sourcing implementation process(RFQ/RFP)-> PO Creation-> PO receipts-> AP Invoice matching in Oracle EBS and is there a way to nullify this transaction in Oracle so that there will not be any legal issues? May be creating credit memo/AR invoice etc...
Appreciate your help!
Thanks
Karthik

Hi All,
Once basic question on the centralized procurement model. Please advise.
Scenario :- Two OU(OU1- Requesting OU and OU2- Purchasing OU) Scenaio:-
1
Purchase Requisition in OU1
2
AutoCreate PO in OU2
3
Approve PO in OU2
4
Receive the material in INV1 of OU1
5
Supplier sends the invoice to OU2
6
Cost the transactions
7
Run ‘Create Intercompany AR invoices in OU2
8
Run ‘Auto Invoice Master Program in OU2
9
Run ‘Create Intercompany AP invoices in OU1
10
Run ‘Expense Report Import in OU1
Question:-
1. After step 5(Supplier sends the invoice to OU2) who will do the payment for supplier and what's the process?
2. I could see the intercompany invoice process in further steps which creates invoices, but not sure on how supplier payments are paid.
In which step the paymens(Supplier, Intercompany) are processed.
Please advise!
Thanks

Architectural design for FTP batch processing

Hello gurus,
I would like your help in determining the design for the following.
We receive several HL7 messages as a text file and copied to a shared network folder. All these files are created into several different folders depending on the region, message type. We need to come up with a B2B process to read all the files from the netwrok folder using FTP (batch process) and translate if needed (depending on the scenario) and transfer the files over to other destination folder on the network (using FTP).
For this, we can create TPs with Generic FTP channel and this works without any issues. By doing this way, we need to create TP for each and every type of message which reads the files from its own specified directory location on the network based on the the polling interval.
My question is, instead of creating TPs for each and every type of file, is there a way by which I can write a common web service that reads the source files from the network and based on the type of the file route to the proper destination folders. If it is possible, I would like to know the architecture for accomplishing this task.
I really appreciate your kind help on this.
Thanks and regards,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Is it a B2B communication scenario?
By doing this way, we need to create TP for each and every type of message which reads the files from its own specified directory location on the network based on the the polling interval.Why cann't you have only one TP with multiple documents, channels and agreements?
My question is, instead of creating TPs for each and every type of file, is there a way by which I can write a common web service that reads the source files from the network and based on the type of the file route to the proper destination folders. If it is possible, I would like to know the architecture for accomplishing this task.Depends on your use case and products you want to use. You can very well use FTP adapter with BPEL and poll for files. Use DVM in composite to figure out the destination and send it there. You may use OSB if it is a typical routing case with heavy load and performance is a concern. You may use B2B as well here. So ultimately you need to figure out what you want and what tools you want to use.

Business Process for Paper Industry

Dear all
I have done a business process study for a paper industry.Where they have different varieties of paper which has different variants GSM,BF- Bursting Factor,Shade & Width.
Generally the customer orders are grouped to match the Dekle size(Paper Width) and the manufacturing program is designed manually according to the width of the paper.After production the goods are despatched to corresponding customers.
They have a power plant to produce Power & by product steam .The Power generated is used for home consumption as well as they do sell the power.
Can anybody suggest me a good process to map the power plant and Paper plant.
Expecting your suggestions for Planning the manufacturing according to width wise and production execution for different customer orders.
Jay

Hi,
For the Paper Industry, IS-Mill will be best suited.
All your Scenarios will be covered with this.
Depending upon your Width: You can combile your Sales Order/Production Orders (Order Combination)
The Big Bundle of PAper which you get at the end of the process you can have the Original Batch concept.
Your settlement will be as per your Sales Order quantity.
For better understanding of the processes refer below link:

"Cleaning Validation Process Scenario" in SAP QM/PM for Pharma Industry

Dear Gurus,
I have a client requirement in the Pharma Industry. The scenario needs to be mapped in SAP for which I need your help.
The scenario is that the company is making medicines (tablets/capsules). Whenever, there is a changeover of the product, there are certain regulatory requirements which the client needs to adhere to.
For example, a shutdown of machinery for 10-12 days may be planned during which the machines are cleaned with soap/cleaning agents. Now, during this cleaning process, the QA department would take samples of the soap water recovered after cleaning process. These samples would be inspected for residues of the previous product that was being run on the line.
If everything is ok, then the approval is given by QA to start the next product.
This process has to be mapped in SAP, maybe in QM or PM.
I thought over the following process. Please let me know your inputs to fine tune the below process -
1. As the shutdown for changeover will be a planned one, we can create a Maintenance Plan in IP42.
2. Schedule the Mantenance Plan by IP10.
3. Release the maintenance plan in IP10.
4. Preventive Maintenance order will be created. (Also assign an Inspection Type in config to this maintenance order so that inspection lot also is triggered. The doubt here is that the inspection lot would be triggered for all preventive maintenance orders which may not be required. How to control this?)
5. Carry out Result Recording in QA32.
6. Confirm Preventive Maintenance order in IW41.
7. Carry out Usage Decision in QA32. The status of order will now become TECO.
8. Order Settlement in KO88.
9. Business Completion of Order in IW32
Thanks for you time!

Nitin

Your ASIS Process
1. Cleaning is done by maintenance before change over
2. Inspection is done to ensure that cleaning is acceptable
3. Records of inspection are to be maintained
4. Information is to be sent to concern regarding quality testing and its status
5. Change over performed
You can MAP this by Notifications also. Follow the steps
1. Create a new notification type ( config)
2. Ensure you have following mapped in the action box (config)
    a. Send a mail
    b. Create a inspection lot
    c. Create a QM order
    d. Close Notification
The process will be as follows
1. Create a dummy material and activate insp type 08 in the QM set up.
2. PM creates the notification (t-code QM01) (New notification & triggers a mail (Action box) which is delivered to QC as information regarding the start of process .
3. QC on looking at the information creates the inspection lot through the notification (action box) the QTY specified in the notification is moved from unrestricted to Quality .
3. Perform RR & UD and post stock to unrestricted
4. Close the notification giving your remarks or set the notification for further processing if required .
Note :
1. The material is a dummy material
2. The intial stock can be one qty which is posted to quality -
from unrestricted and then again to unrestricted.

Hi,
For multiple samples we can use no of sample(SAmpling Procedure) to record more than one results and system will calculate the arithmetic mean of all results of all sample
For this we have to maintain control indicator of MIC . Single result radio button will enable us to record results based on the number of sample defined in sampling procedure
And if you have requirement like different target values at different level,
Then you can configure inpection point -
SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > General > Define Identifier for Inspection Points
in this Field act - 2 and give description

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

I need advise about setting up a server plan for a community.

I have the following situation:
The website has a community with, expected in the fist stage, 100,000 registered members. This community will be first launched in the Netherlands and later worldwide. A member has 25 MB of disk space to store photos or something. You can compare the community with for example hyves (a dutch community site similar to MySpace)
Besides the community the site will also have a web shop and some information pages about the products that will be sold in the shop. The web shop will not have a large amount of product in store, however the expectation is that it will attract a large amount of customers.
My question is; what do I need to keep this running smooth (quick page loads) and secure (data loss, back-up servers), and make it easy to expand the server park.
URLs to the example sites:
Hyves: www.hyves.nl
MySpace: www.myspace.com

>Can you clarify that, because I thought the Xserve RAID is the server for storage?
The XServe RAID is not a 'server for storage'. It's just an array. In order to provide storage it needs to be connected, via Fiber Channel to a host computer. This is fine if you have one web server, but becomes tricky when you have multiple. unless you're doing some very fancy load balancing, you're likely to want all the content accessible to all web servers at the same time. To do that you typically implement a fiber channel SAN (every host connects to the XServe RAID via a fiber channel connection), or you implement a NAS host where one server is attached to the XServe RAID and it shares the content to other hosts via AFP, NFS or similar.
This is fine for small installations but my point is that if you grow to hundreds of terabytes of storage, the XServe RAID might not be the best bet. It works well enough at tens of terabytes but there are other considerations when you get very large.
For example, if you have one XServe host acting as an AFP or NFS 'head', what happens to your site when that server crashes? or needs a Software Update? Your network is going to go down. For high availability networks you might consider a dedicated NAS or SAN infrastructure that has higher redundancy, built-in failover and is designed for very large storage arrays. If you expect to grow there you might be better off starting off with that, rather than starting with an XServe RAID and migrating the data later on.
Other than that, the rest of it is good for a start, but you need to consider redundancy (what do you do if a server crashes?) and scale (what do you do when you get more traffic than your web server can handle?).
Typically these problems are solved via load balancers - appliances that sit in front of the application server and dynamically routes connections to whaever machine is best able to respond to the request. These boxes (at least the good ones) don't come cheap, but they're essential if you expect your site to grow past a single server setup.
