Settlement Run on Higher Level WBS

Hello Experts,
Scenarios is that I need to run settlement on 2nd Level WBSE where I have assigned asset class but my activities are linked on 3rd OR 4th Level WBS Elements due to the requirement of detailed level project planning. Cost is posted against lower level WBS Elements and settlement is to be run on higher level WBS Element.
Can I roll up the cost from lower level WBS to Higher level WBS so that settlement can be run against the asset class assigned with higher level WBS Element
Please advise. Thanking you in anticipation...
Warm Regards

Hi,
You can perform this kind of settlement in two ways based on different conditions:
1. If there is only one asset to be created from project, then instead of hierarchical settlement you can use the line item settlement to the same asset maintained in the settlement rule of superior WBS, by using settlement strategy as in customization as ( Settlement rule generation: account assignment category........4) Copy rule from superior object. So that settlement of all the object will be done to the same asset.
2. Otherwise, if you want to have the settlment to the same asset of your project structure in hierarchy, then you can use SAP note number 211324, to have Settlement rule generation: account assignment category as 05 (Superior WBS element), in the customization of settlement strategy.
I hope this should help you.

Error: Maintain settlement rule of the sender for a higher level WBS

Hi,
I dont want to maintain the settlement rule for a higher level WBS. How can i configure this in such a way that i dont get the following error:" Maintain settlement rule of the sender" while doing CJ88. Maintaing a separate Settlement profile for a higher level WBS is an option but we are looking if something else could be done The problem is that there are no actuals booked against, say, level 2 WBS but when i execute CJ88, i get the aforesaid error. How can i ensure that only the lowest level WBS ask for the settlement rule and not the levels above it. I have already removed the Investment profile from the higher level WBS but still getting the same error.

Hi,
It is a type Capex WBS and Biling element is not checked. In fact i get a warning while doing the settlement: WBS is neither a billing element nor an account assignment element.
Diagnosis
WBS element is not indicated as either an account assignment element or as a billing element in the master record.
System Response
The WBS element cannot be assigned to an account.
Procedure
Correct your entries or add the missing indicator to the master record for the WBS element.
But this is just a warning. On pressing enter i get the error :Maintain settlement rule of the sender "

Running a Sub-VI and monitoring data that is generated on a higher level VI

Hi All,
This question must been there before, but I cannot find a suitable answer here on the forums....
I have a 'top-level' VI that does a lot of things. I also have a sub VI that runs a frequency sweep on a piece of equipment. This is done with a for loop.
Problem:
I want to monitor/access the data that is generated in the for loop (See attached, the 3 wires within the green circle I want to monitor).
2 Questions:
How can I access the data on the wires (within the loop) from a higher level VI?
How can I then run this VI in a higher level VI while the higher level VI is continuing and not waiting for the sub-VI to complete?
I tried using a Que but I cannot seem to get that working.
Any suggestions?

The queue is a good way to move data from a running subVI to another VI. Your problem is that if the subVI is inside a loop in the main VI, that loop in the main VI cannot iterate until the subVI completes. The solution: have the sub VI running in parallel - not inside - the loop.
Look at the Producer/Consumer Design Patterns (at File >> New... >> VI >> From Template >> Frameworks >> Design Patterns >> Producer/Consumer. This may be more than you need at the moment but will show how the parallel code process works.

HDMI Audio not working on Q190 (along with all higher level Audio Formats)

Help, I have been given the run around via support, I cannot get the HDMI audio to work with my Pioneer Surround Sound, only the Intel display audio shows in control panel (Win 8 X64) and the RealteK S/P Dif port and it is not capable of supporting 7.1 sound or bitstreaming or DTS, Dolby HD, Etc. Tec support appears not capable of fixing the issue and wanted to send me to software support and pay. I have only had the machine for 4 days and it has never supported higher level sound.
Every other device I have (had or currently) connected to the receiver works just fine. I have to figure this out or return the machine, the audio is the most important aspect for me. Besides when you advertise 7.1 support the machine you sell should be able to do it.

Hey guys,
I have had this Q190 with the Celeron CPU since last week and I am using XBMC Frodo and the HDMI is connected to my AVR Onkyo TX-NR809 and from the Onkyo to the TV. And the sound is 7.1 with PLIIZ. It works fine. I think it may be some driver problem because Realtek Audio which is in the Q190 works fine with the Win8 preinstalled. Realtek is kind of bad with driver because I lost my wifi after upgrading to Win 8.1. After a few days with no wifi, I found out that the driver was bad, yes it was a Realtek wifi driver but posted by Lenovo for W 8.1.
I have another friend who also just bought the Q190 and he reported no audio problem so I think it is just a matter of trouble shooting the drive and configuration. I do love the form factor of the Q190.

Basic XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

Hi All,
We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
We have a xml hierarchy like below:
<CD_CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
</CD_CATALOG>
We need to create a report like below:
CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
How can we solve this?
Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

you can use
<?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
<?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

Phase out settings at a higher level such as brand or major customer

Have any of you ever setup phase out assignments at a higher level than product and had it work correctly? For example, we want to phase out a brand for a major customer. In other words, a customer is dropping a brand and we don't want statistical forecast generated for that brand customer combination any longer. I am able to setup the fields in phase out lifecycle settings for product, brand, major account but when i enter the brand and major account I am still getting forecast generated. It appears to stop for some products within the brand but not all. Another example is if a customer quits ordering from us I want to setup the major customer to phase out so no forecast is generated.
If you have done this successfully please let me know. Or if you would handle these situations in a different manner other than phase out please let me know. We can do historical adjustments each period but that is a lot of maintenance to do after each period before statistical forecast is generated.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Stephen,
Life cycle planning works only at the detail level (each CVC), the option of aggregate planning is helpful if you want to phase in or out a certain CVC when you are forecasting at the aggregate level.
One option is that you should have all products in the "profile assignment for life cycle " section which falls under that brand and customer. you can maintain a file and then automate the upload process in to the "assignment"
or
you can try to use the copy functionality in the realignment (/SAPAPO/RLGCOPY) , where you maintain copy factor as NIL and when the stat fcst is generated, you can use this as the next step to zero out -but you would need to maintain them manually.
or
easiest and safest wayy would be create a selection for those combination and do not include them in the planning job for stat fcst.
or
you can build a customised program to access the PA, PB, Data view and input the selection to zero out the stat fcst KF for that particular selection after the stat fcst run. here you would need to check if the diaggregated values are good enough.
hope it helps.

How to change the order of cascading prompt?[The prompt at higher level appears at TOP]

Hi Guys,
I have one doubt in cascading prompt without Hierarchy view in UNIVERSE 3.1
While running a report with it.
The prompt at higher level appears below the prompt at lower level.How can we change the order,i.e, I want Level 2 Account Code as top and then Level 3 Account Code ?
It can achieve in hierarchy view,but i don't want to set it as hierarchy view,because there are huge number of Level 2 Account code[Search pattern is not available too]
Thanks in Advance
Shenbu

Hi Sathish,
Thanks for your reply.
I created Cascading list of value as you said only.please find below screenshot for your refefrence.
I think,its tool limitation as "The prompt at higher level appears below the prompt at lower level in report".Can any other way is there to achieve?

Errors in the high-level relational engine on Schedule Refresh Correlation ID: 7b159044-c719-41f9-8d0f-da6f73576d6e

Connections are all valid and work when I setup the Refresh but when the schedule refresh occurs I get this error:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: The Data Transfer Service has encountered a fatal error when performing the data upload. The remote server returned
an error: (400) Bad Request. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. Transfer client has encountered a fatal error when performing the data transfer. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. The remote server returned an error:
(400) Bad Request.;transfer service job status is invalid Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
It is trying to refresh 3 simple tables with less than 9,000 rows each.
Also, i'd like to add that the refresh works right from excel as well...
Another fact just in, it seems to work on one out of 3 tables sometimes, so first table gets a success on the log, but sometimes it fails (It succeed twice and failed once with the above error). The second table never succeeds and gets the error above.
The 3rd table never even gets attempted.
Am I running into some sort of timeout perhaps?

Power Query - Sendout_Records Not tried

This is not because of the number of rows, instead its the execution time. The query takes more than 7 mins to execute and seems this fails the refresh process.

DI job causing high levels of I/O on database server

We have a DI job that is loading a sql server 2005 database. When the facts are loaded itu2019s causingu2019s a high level of I/O on the database server causing the DI job to slow down. No more than 5 facts are loaded concurrently. The fact dataflows all have a sql transform to run the select query against the DB, a few query transforms to do lookups to get dimension keys, and all do inserts to the target. The DBA says there are too many DB connections open and DI is not closing them. My thinking was DI would manage the open connections for lookup, etc and would close then properly when the dataflow is complete.
Any thoughts on what else would cause high levels of DB I/O?
Additional Info:
- Run the DI job, source and target tables are in SQL Server, and it takes 5 hours.
- Run the same DI job again, on the same data set, and it takes 12+ hours. This run will have high levels on DB I/O.
- But if SQL Server is stopped and restart, the job will again take 5 hours the first time it runs.
Edited by: Chris Sam on Apr 15, 2009 3:43 PM

There are a lot of areas of a DI Job that can be tuned for performance, but given the fact that your job runs fine after the database is restarted, it sounds like a problem with the database server and not the Data Integrator job.
There are a lot of resources out there for dealing with SQL Server disk IO bottlenecks. As a minimum first step all of them will recommend putting your .mdf and .ldf files on seperate drives and using Raid 10 for the .mdf file.

VA88 - Error list of settlement run displays irrelevant sales orders

Hi All,
This is a problem relating to transaction VA88 for settlement of sales orders into COPA. The error list of the settlement run is unnecessarily long since it also includes old, irrelevant sales orders that have no postings since the last VA88 run.
'Old' sales orders without recent postings on them are considered in the settlement run despite having the indicator "check trans. data" switched on in the VA88 selection screen.
What could be the reason???
Ideally, system should ignore the irrelevant sales orders (those without any transactional postings since the last settlement) if we select the "check transactional data" option in the VA88 selection screen
Any suggestions, thoughts, solutions would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya
Edited by: Soumya Bhattacharya on Mar 17, 2009 10:42 AM

Hi Soumya
Please see below. Transaction data checks are not made in the following situations, even
if the indicator is set:
1. The sender has a results analysis key, and an accrual calculation
    was already executed. In Customizing for accrual calculation, line
    item updates are not active for a version relevant for settlement.
2. The sender has a variance key and variances have already been
    determined.
3. The sender is a capital investment measure and has the technically
    completed status. Alternatively, the sender is an investment measur
    and the settlement was started with processing type 3.
4. The settlement rule was changed since the last settlement.
5. There is a valid distribution rule for fixed amounts.
6. Both a periodic distribution rule and an overall distribution rule
    have been defined for the settlement of costs with the same origin,
    and only the periodic distribution rule was used for the last
    settlement.
Basically you should see if any of these scenarios exist in your case. Item no. 6 looks like the most probable cause. Please check them again.
Hope this helps. Let me know.

Changing OSX default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences

When I change the default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences within OSX, it is back at the lower level at the next listening session the following time I use iTunes on my Mac Mini. Within System Preferences there is a section that lets you "choose a device for sound output" but the only choice I have is "line-out" and under the "port" heading there is only "built-in output"--no other choices are shown. I have external speakers attached which I like to use for listening to music as I work. What is the problem? Why won't the higher volume I set remain? Also, shouldn't more than one choice be shown for sound output?

This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
So, any other suggestions?

High-level business process scenario

Hi all, I have a business process scenario for which CRM and ECC has to be used. The scenario is like this:
There are 2 subsidiaries of a company - A and B, which are into trading of materials.
Between A and customer there is sales agreement. Between B and vendor there is purchase agreement.
Whenever customer requires materials, it will send request to A. So, A creates a sales order. B in turn sends a request to vendor for which a purchase order is created. The vendor ships the goods directly to customer. The vendor bills B for the purchase order. B adds some margin and then it goes for inter-company settlement with A. A bills the customer for the materials. In this entire process, both A and B earns profit through margins.
It has to be noted that CRM has to be used as contact point with customer.
Now I have the following questions:
1. How would the high-level business design be like?
2. How would be the document flow?
3. How can inter-company settlement and billing be done?
All constructive comments and feedback will be rewarded.

Hello Animesh,
Can you please let me know the solution you found for the intercompany business process. I have the similar kind process which needs to be configured in CRM7.
Thanks a lot
