Should I get a K8N Platinum?

Hi guys,
Should I get a K8N Platinum when have the opportunity to sell my old K8T?
The missing AGP/PCI lock is driving me nuts on my K8T,
so please tell me your oc records with air cooling on K8N Platinum.
I got 228 stable but after that my raid 0 broke.
3dmark03 figures to compare the setups are also appreciated.
I got 6003 3dmarks with nothing occed and win xp64.
Does the HD led actually work with two SATA drives @ RAID 0?
Is the hardware firewall already working properly?
Anyone having problems with Infineon DDR 400 ram here?

Well... tested the rig with four different ATI cards now:
Two (a 9800np and a 9800 pro) works well.
and
Two other cards (9600XT - I believe (?) and a 9700) doesn't.
The first card (9600 something) keeps crashing while gaming - the latter (my own 9700) won't even make it to POST!
Cuz I'm a bit out of luck, but it's kinda funny that I've tested the same system with 5 different Geforce cards (Geforce SD-ram
Me confused *gg*
So basicly I'm saying: Don't fix it if it ain't broken - don't risk the issues K8N has with memory and ATI cards - unless your present hardware are recommended for use with the K8N. It's simply not worth it for a few extra 3DMark points.
Don't get my wrong. K8N IS a great, but sensitive board.
Don't skip an already great running A64 solution unless you're ready to invest money in memory and a GFX if need be.
If you 'only' have an Athlon XP solution though, I'd say: Go for it!
PS My rig: Antec 550 TruePower, K8N, 2x 512 MB. Geil PC3200 memory and a couple of Hitachi 7K250 SATA disks in RAID0. Unfortunately, forced to run an old G.F. 3 card. :(

K8N Platinum Video and S-ATA issues

hey,
here is my problem: i bought some hardware 3 weeks ago, including:
A64 3800+ (Venice), MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125), Leadtek PX6800 GT TDH (265MB), Be Quiet! 450 Watt Titanium S1.3
in exchange for my old system (2500+, Abit K7N, ATi Radeon 9800SE AiW, 320W Enermax PSU)
the hardware change went great, had no errors after the exchange, windows xp (sp2) worked for 2 weeks. though, some things are errorous like the nForce eth being detected but no drivers installed, nForce raid not being detected - stuff like that probably resulting from a missing format c: and really clean install.
now things get quite strange. a friend of mine gave me 2 of his s-ata hdds (both maxtor, one 160gb and the other 200gb) - after plugging them onto the nforce s-ata raid, i was still able to get into the bios (at this time it was the biosversion the board shipped with) but the keyboard was locked (or the pc froze after entering the bios - can't tell for sure). unplugged the drives - and it was working again.
let's get to the main problem. after the problems above i thought "well, ok, let's reset the cmos, maybe i configured it wrong" so i shut down my pc and pushed the "clear cmos" button - then i did a normal boot, i heared the "beep", everything was just fine - but my TFT stayed black. i had a similar situation on my old board, so i disconnected the psu and removed the battery for 10 seconds. boot: display worked again. i immediately checked my bios (which was indeed resetted) but did not change anything. reboot -> black screen. now, the funny thing is.. the gfx card got 2 dvi and 1 s-video output (one dvi and s-video were connected) so i checked my tv - guess what, i saw the POST now i knew the board was "working" and my assumptions of which the black screen results in a crashed videocard/mobo were wrong. i sat there and watched windows xp boot up - and suddenly (after the xp vga drivers have been loaded i guess) my tft displays the image!
now this is VERY odd and tbh i really don't know what to say. anyways, i started msi liveupdate and downloaded/installed the latest official bios update (via winflash because i don't have a floppy anymore) to see if that might fix something. it didn't.
and now here i am, desperate and confused because i don't know whether or not it's a mobo or gfx issue - all i know is that it suddenly appeared after the cmos clear (sadly there's no "description" of whether you should press that button when the pc is shut off, psu is disconnected, mobo is running its post whatever) and i can't find a logical reason for this behaviour
to add another detail to the story, after i found out the video output was sent via s-video, i tried all combinations (dvi1 connected, dvi2 not, s-video not / dvi1 not, dvi2 connected, s-video not / dvi1 + 2 not, s-video connected / etc.) but the only source i can get the post from (until WinXP loads) is the s-video out.
i think maybe it could be the gfx card's bios, which loads up BEFORE the post begins (leadtek welcome screen, ram counts itself -> post -> os) but i'm not sure about it either
ANY help is very appreciated
*edit* i forgot to mention: it worked before! after hitting this nifty little button, the display problems began...

Problem with K8N Platinum Plus

Greetings all,
I am an veteran builder and am having a strange behavior that I need some help with. Here is some background on parts:
MSI K8N Platinum Plus
2 x 1GB OCZ PC-3200 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K)
600W OCZ supply
X2 4400+
(2) eVGA 7900GT's
(I can give more specs if necessary)
Problem:
The board posts and I can interate just fine up until the OS boots... I just partition copied my previous Windows XP SP2 installation from my old HDD to the new one. I knew that XP would rescan hardware and I had a 50/50 chance of not having to reinstall. Each time I boot the box and let XP load it gets to the "starting up" and does nothing... goes no where, yet the keyboard is not locked up (CAPS lock turns on and off still). I left it running for about an hour, just hoping... nope. Ok, so fresh install, whatever... XP disc starts up and just as it goes to flip over to start the installer the monitor goes black! Nothing, CDROM spins down and nothing EVER happens. I tried flashing the beta (NOT what I would normally do) bios, but nothing changed. I tried other memory, no change. I pulled one of my video cards (no more SLI), no change... pulled the sound card, no change... Wierdest thing is that is both cases (booting old XP and trying to install new) the machine is not locked up.
Ideas?

Jason,
There are people that do not like multiple RAILs on PSUs for supplying high power systems. Personally I think that a high end Power Supply with multiple RAILs will work but the lower end PSUs with multiple RAILs will not supply the needed juice.
Multiple RAIL PSUs are a new technology and with all new technologies there are going to be teething problems. It is to be expected.
I was trying to figure out why your old comp stopped working too.
On the new comp, lets try Bare Bones for the install of your OS. I would like CPU with heatsink/fan, 1 Vid Card, 1 stick of RAM at 3.4.4.8 Timing with the Voltage bumped up one notch, 1 HD and if you are using RAID 0 - then 1 Array, 1 Optical Drive, no PCI Cards, Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor. Lets see how far you get though a fresh install.
Take Care,
Richard
I will try this tonight... last night I tried something VERY close to what you are suggesting, the only difference is that I am not sure that I used 3.4.4.8 on timings... I just used whatever the default timings on the DIMMs are, which should be 2.3.2.5. I only have one HDD, 1 Video card, DVDRW, floppy, CPU, memory (1 green, 1 purple -- is this right?) and that did not work either with DVI connect or using VGA through DVI adapter. I did see that someone else was having some Video cracking using a DVI connector... wondering if mine is somehow related to that problem... although, I get NO video (past POST) and he does.
As far as the multi-rail thing... well, if the PSU is on the "A" list of DFI's and nVidia gives it a "SLi certified" then I would think that it would be just fine. Is my power supply fine or not?

MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum - Freezing Issue during games

First off greetings to everyone on these forums...
I purchased the MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum motherboard from NewEgg back at the end of March to compliment the AMD 64 "Winchester" processor that I also purchased at that time to replace a slightly older AMD XP "Barton" system that was using the Abit NF7-S motherboard. For the past month I have been fighting an unusual and highly irritating issue that I have noticed during game play and have tried everything that I know of and more in an attempt to remedy this issue, but to no avail. This is the general background of the situation and now I will descibe in greater detail as to what this issue I am referring to is and the symptoms of this issue and some of the various methods used to remedy this issue.
The issue is that while play a game the system experiences a short 5-10 second freeze during the game randomly, but usually several times an hour. During this freezing the sound would loop and as suddenly as the freeze occurs it would cease and the game would continue on as if nothing happened. However, sometimes this would result in the system freezing outright after this short 5-10 second freeze... but it does not feel like a total system freeze, but rather a video freeze as the sound continues and I still have keyboard control... but this does require me to force a manual reboot of the machine itself. I have scowered the internet and various forums in an attempt to find what the issue was and use various methods to remedy this issue, but so far nothing has worked in my favor... but it does seem like this issue has been plaguing other users with the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Below are some of the methods that I have used in an attempt to solve this issue:
*Default Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU; Over/Under Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU
*Increased voltages to CPU VID, AGP, and Memory
*Disabled/Enabled AGP Fast Writes
*Increased AGP Aperture from 64MB to 512MB
*Enabled/Disabled ATI/nVidia Speedup option in BIOS
*Forced AGP clock lock to 66-67mhz
*Relaxed/Aggressive memory timings
*APIC enabled/disabled
*Gate A20 turbo/normal
*Disabled all unneeded onboard components (Realtek NIC, Sound, SATA)
*Disabled nVidia MAC and attempted to use 3Com Gigabit PCI card instead
*Swapped HDD Cables
*Tried PCI Sound Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) in PCI Slots 3/4
*Tried video drivers from 71.89 Official to 76.45 beta modified drivers
*Tried 5.10 official nForce drivers to remixed 7.02 nForce drivers (5.10 drivers uses 4.36 GART, higher drivers uses the 4.40 GART)
*Applied all the latest updates from Windows Update Website
*Reinstalled Operating System (Windows XP SP2) 5 different times clean with various settings (APIC on/off, etc...) and different drivers.
*Installed Audio Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) with older and the latest drivers available from Creative's website
*Replaced PSU (Previously was a Thermaltake 420watt PSU, 18A +12v) with a OCZ Modstream 520watt PSU (28A +12v)
*Video card is KNOWN working from previous build (AMD XP 3000, Abit NF7-S)
*Hard Drive is KNOWN working from previous build
*CD/DVD-ROM drive is kNOWN working from previous build
*Heat is not an issue... all components temperature is well below rated level, the only unknown is the chipset temperature (it has a active heatsink and seems to not be hot to the touch, applied AS5 to it anyway)
*Used latency tweak to the video card
*Used Rivatuner to force constant performance level
*Tweaked BIOS to force even clock rates and forced 1.4v to the GPU Core
*Used original GPU BIOS
*Used MSI Neo2 K8N Bios 1.4 - 1.8 and modified BIOS 1.8
*No background applications are running (not even antivirus)
*Used application to force maximum refresh rates for my monitor
*Memory passed MemTest86+ for over 24 hours
*System passed Prime95 and SuperPi for over 24 hours
*System seems stable in all non gaming related applications
*Checked through various troubleshooting procedures
*Disabled SBDRVDET.EXE using MSCONFIG
*There are no IRQ conflicts outside of PCI system management sharing IRQ11 with the NIC and USB... in APIC there are no IRQ conflicts what so ever. Regardless neither method worked
*Installed AMD 64 drivers from AMD
*Disabled DEP in boot.ini
*...and many other various tweaks and modifications.

I have been fighting this issue for well over a month now and I am frankly nearly out of ideas, this does not necessarly prevent me from playing games, but this does interfere with the games I do play (especially online games). I do demand absolute stability from the games that I play and this issue only began AFTER I upgraded to the new motherboard, processor, and memory. The only thing I have not tried is something that I do not have access in attempting on this motherboard, and that is increasing the voltage to the chipset.
Here is my theory on what is going on is that I believe is there is a fault with the chipset on this motherboard and this is manifesting itself while I am playing various games on this system. Of course I would like to try increasing the voltage to the chipset as that would increase stability, but there is no option in BIOS to increase the chipset voltage like the previous motherboard I had (Abit NF7-S). It is possible that either a) the chipset is at fault and is causing me this issue or b) the chipset is not recieving enough voltage.
My question to the rest of you is this, what do you think the problem is and what ideas do you have that I may try that I have not tried yet. Additionally if there is nothing else that I may try should I attempt to RMA this motherboard and will that help, and is there any other versions of this motherboard that I should be aware of. I would appreciate any response from a MSI representative and any comments from those that may have positive suggestions for my issue. Thank you in advance for your time and any help that you may be able to render.

*EDIT* Added additional methods attempted... (there was a lot... so I did not remember everything that I have tried)

Quote from: dacull on 25-May-05, 16:06:33
Does it only happen in online games, or can it happen in all games? One thing to make sure of is to turn off CRC checksum offload in your NVidia MAC properties (everyone do this, it is incorrectly calculating checksums which leads to servers ignoring your packets). However as you have tried a different network card you can discount this theory.
For me it looks like the biggest culrpit is your 6800NU, i have read alot of bad things about the NU and you have a low bios revision there, just because it worked well against your old chipset doesnt mean it will work well against your current chipset. Sounds like a BIOS fix is needed as some timing is out somewhere.
Ensure Spread Spectrum is off (and as you have already pointed out Fast writes, ATI NV Speedup) and your card is running at default clock.
As a test beg/borrow/steal another graphics card (preferably nvidia) and see how it goes so you can narrow in on your video card.
It is not just one game, but it is more prodominate in certain games than others... the game in question here is Planetside... though I stuck a demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 on a loop bot match and it seemed to have locked up after 4 hours (not sure how many times it experienced that 5-10 freeze as I went to bed). As for the video card it was KNOWN working from a previous build in those same games (Previous build was a AMDXP3000 and a Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard). The only components different in this build is the AMD64, the MSI Neo2 K8N, 2 new sticks of Corsair XMS to replace the Corsair ValueSelects, and the SB Audigy2 as I would never use a software codec audio solution. Spread Spectrum is LOCKED in BIOS and disabled... ATI/nVidia speed up was disabled from the start... and I tried the Video Card at default clock, over clocked, as well as under clocked and the same issue resulted... as I said before it is NOT the video card.
There are two other things I could try is use my old Geforce4ti 4200 and see what happens... or even try out WindowsXP 64-bit edition as someone earlier suggested. I wish I could find a new BIOS for my XFX 6800NU, but there there is only the revision 1 BIOS that I was able to find. The mystery continues...

K8n Platinum Help!!!

i just bought the k8n platinum and i fitted it in a thermaltake case vm2000 or something. i have a problem tho, when i plug in the power it starts automatically and i get lotsa numbers on screen like "verifying DMI Pool Data" and then i get lotsa 99, 99, 99, etc. then if i power it off, it wont really turn on. i mean there is power in the hd and dvd drivers but the light on them is constantly on. also sometimes the fan on the cpu and graphics card wont turn on, even tho the power is on.
i m running an athlon 64 3400+, a radeon 9800 pro, 1gb memory (ddr 400) 2x512mb one is elixir and one is adata, 120gb maxtor master, 200gb sata seagate baracuda, msi dr8-a2 dvdrw, liteon 52x32x52x, a 550 q-tec power supply
what can be wrong?
i dont think its the graphics or ram cuz i tried different ones.
oh and the power led on the case keeps flashing.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

the cmos jumper? i did all that. i powered it up. everything sounds ok, fan is spinning and all, but it hangs imediately,i dont get any display. the d-bracket always shows 4 red leds which would mean cpu problems or not installed correctly.
i removed the cpu make sure its ok, put it back on but still nothing.
by the way it wont power off unless i pull the plug. i think it might be the board.
i think i ll send both cpu and board back to the seller so they can check whats actually wrong.

Various advice needed to overclock cpu using my MSI k8n platinum sli

Hey guys, i recently overclocked my amd 64 3500 cpu to 2.4ghz (from 2.2ghz) i was wondering if any could tell me how high i can get this cpu up to using the msi k8n platinum sli mobo.
At the moment the cpu's temp goes to 40-45 oC.
If i can overclock the cpu some more, can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to overclock it as i'm computer newbie.
i'm using the standard amd heatsink and fan so i know that will comprimise the potentail of the cpu's overclocking capability, as i heard that some people managed to get their cpu up to 3.ghz with a high quality fan, so i was just wondering if anyone can tell me how high i can get my cpu frequency with a standard fan as i really don't want to risk damaging the cpu if i go overboard.
Thnx in advance.
P.S Does anyone come across any green flashing lights while playing their games when the high performance settings mode is set to optimized in bios settings mode??
AMD ATHLON 64 3500@ 2.4GHZ
MSI K8N NFORCE4 SLI PLATINUM MOBO

what HSF for cpu/ cooling for the case do you use? And also, where are the flashing lights?

Sound problems K8N Platinum Sli neo4

My system:
K8N Platinum Sli Neo4
Asus Nvidia 6800TD
AMD64 FX-55 (not overclocked) 2.6Ghz
2 x 512 Corsair 3200XLPT
Hiper Type-R series 480W PSU
Creative Labs 7.1 T7900 speakers
2 x SATA 80Gb Hitachi HGST 7200rpm / 8Mb
I didnt have the problem at the beggining (Had the system 2 weeks, and its been ongoing for a week or so.) but it seems to start after getting into windows... every few minutes "SHHHHHH" then it gets more often, then its just NON stop and a reboot doesnt clear it, nor does turning off/on the power for the speakers. You can faintly still hear the others sounds of games/music, but that much noise over the top is silly. I read here about the power supply problems. Not having a -5v and maybe not enough Amps, but i dont want to jump the boat and replace my PSU, seeing as i do get sound anyway, so maybe its not the problem. I see in the PSU manual, it quotes about pin 7 and 20 being -5VDC. I take it thats the ones i need? and on the +12V1 18A, so thats too low Amp wise, could be the prob? (dunno what the VDC and V1 is about). Also it seems to be the LEFT and RIGHT speakers mainly... the green lead. Soon as i take that out, the "SHHHHHH" stops, except for a few occasions on the remaining speakers. One last thing, ive not been able to get sound from the Middle right or left speakers, except when i change to 5.1 in the settings and flip the 5.1 convert to 7.1 switch on the Amplifier, and it makes the side speakers the rear ones, lol.
It doesnt seems to be a problem with my speakers, because i can plug any headphones/speakers in that green socket and "SHHHHH" again. Im out of ideas, so anyone else know about a solution???

Hi Jamesfle,
if you want the onboard sound to work properly & you feel your psu is under amped & especially if you purchased both mobo & psu from same supplier (you can argue incompatability). i'd try to rma the PSU At worse you may have a restocking fee but at least you'll have something that works properly with
Alternatively but possibly with a longer lead time follow Wonkanoby's suggestion to return the mobo for MSI to supply a non -5v board.

Major problems with 64-bit on the K8N Platinum with CD-ROMs

Ok i'm convinced at this point that the MSI K8N Platinum has some real problems with XP period not just SP2....with CD-ROM's or the IDE channel.
I have FDISK my PC like 3 times now. And re-installed XP several times....
I originally used the MSI NForce drivers but I would subsequently install the NVIDIA unified drivers version 5.10 on my PC. Now as soon as I did this the CD-ROM's are dead. So I un-installed the NForce 2.5 ATA /IDE drives and then installed the Microsoft IDE channel drives. no more blue screens but...the CDRW does not work and I can't load half my CD-ROMS without a corruption failure occuring during installation.
Any ideas? I'm ready to get a new MOBO....and not not talking MSI or NVIDIA at this point.
Eric

I have had the same sort of problems as you.Slow boot up at start up and one of my cd drives not being recognized by windows(It always would show up in the bios).
One thing that I tried that reduces this problem from 1 out of 2 boot ups to maybe 1 in 10 boots was to not allow the bios to decide which dma mode the drive opperated in.
Get into your device manager screen and find your ide ata/atapi controllers
open it up and right click the parallel ATA controller.Select properties and tab through primary channel and secondary channels.
uncheck"Let BIOS select transfer mode" for all your drives or just the drives giving you problems.
Hope this helps

It's still a Neo 4 board, notice the diamond version doesn't say Neo 4 either.
Thats incorrect, the "K8N Platinum SLI" and the "K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI" are different by the missing silicone image SATA controller and single vs duel gigabit nic's...
K8N Platinum SLI = 4 SATA ports and single Gb Nic (this is the low cost SLI option)
K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI is sold in America and is identical to the Diamond (has the silicone image SATA controller) for 6 SATA ports and Dual Gb Nic's but don't expect the Duel Net Card with bluetooth and wireless.
K8N Neo4 Platinum is the plain old nforce4 ultra offering.
Check the differences on msicomputer.com vs msi.com.tw and it will become clearer, its taken me 2 months to get my head around it all.

K8N Platinum, no front sound

Hi folks,
I have a K8N Platinum SLi with an AMD64 +3500, I'm using the onboard Live 24-bit chipset. I also have a zalman ZM400B-APS 20 pin PSU. I know my speakers are ok and I have downloaded the newest creative drivers but I can't get sound on the front speakers. The rear, centre and sub work fine.
I have noticed on this forum that other users are having difficulties with creative chipset and their resolution was to get a PSU with a -5 volts rail (24 pin), these people get no sound, whereas I get some sound, do I still fall under this catagory?
cheers
Dave

Cheers guys,
the leads are all ok, I've even swapped the leads incase the front one was broken but to no avail, the control panel is also setup ok, I ran the "Creative Speaker Settings" software and when it goes from channel to channel all the speakers work apart from the front!
I've just plugged in my Audigy Sound card and that gives me all speakers so definetly not a prob with the speakers. But I think the Live 24 is better than the audigy so I'd rather use that!
any ideas?
Dave

What display should I get for my macbook pro?

Hey Guys. I think this is in the correct section.
So I have a Macbook Pro (specs at the bottom) and I am looking to add an external monitor to use as a second monitor and at other times a screen for my playstation. I have never had a monitor before so not sure how big? What resolution? What ppi? HD, UHD, 4K? Someone said something about refresh rate. I have no idea what that is. None of this stuff I know.
Obviously I want the best screen I can have and I would connect my Macbook to it by HDMI using a Thunderbolt to HDMI converter and connect my ps3 to it by HDMI.
What is the highest resolution a HDMI/Thunderbolt can handle?
What screen should I get?
Also I connected it up to my TV once and if I put my mouse at the bottom of the screen and then moved it onto my macbook screen it disapeared and didn't appear again until I moved it up and I don't want this problem
How can i solve this?
All help is very much appreciated.
Thanks. Miles.

Should i get lion if i have a new macbook pro? (i dont have any old programs)

i have a new macbook pro! should i get lion? i dont mind paying the $ 30. my only real concern would be the bugs! i have heard alot about the bugs in lion! i would mainly use it for school work and using imovie and idvd to burn my home movies. i would also use iphoto. both of these are 09 (havent ugraded yet because i have found no need). would they work with lion.
aslo i have one last big question. which should i get? iwork or micrsoft office 2008 or 10. i have a great deal from iwork users that its the best out there. i am migrateing from a pc so i am accoustom to office.
back to lion...
have you used it?
do you regert getting it?
why?
do you love it?
these questions will help me know what to do!
Thanks
austin

iWork! But Office 2008 or 2011 will run fine on Lion
Lion is awesome, and if you purchased your MacBook Pro since June 6th, go here to get a free copy> http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
The bugs are few and far apart

Brand new Mac customer-should I get Lion?

Hi everyone,
I'm writing because I'm looking for support. I just recently bought my first iMac (it was between this or a Mini) after having my 4th PC die on me in 10 years. While I already have the machine ordered I have been doing extensive research on what to expect with my purchase and one of the things I have been reading has been some compatability issues with Lion OS. After having gone through several Windows upgrades myself I am nervous to be jumping into a new format all together only to find that Apple is going through an update to their OS (perfect timing I suppose). That being said:
I apparently am eligible for the FREE upgrade to Lion with my iMac purchase. Should I get it or stay with Snow Leopard?
I have the newest iMac out there that is the base model but includes 4GB of RAM and AMD 6750M graphics card.
I'm also considering the newest generation Time Capsule (2TB). Will that work okay with Lion as well?
Also, last question, since I haven't received the Mac yet I want to make sure I got an okay model. I was trying to pick what appeared to be middle of the road between a Mac Mini and the iMac line. I'm not expecting to get it until tomorrow but am sure I can trade an unopened computer if that's best. Because I had a 23 inch monitor and keyboard/mouse with my former PC I had a hard time choosing.
Thanks for answering any or all of my questions. Sorry if this message has the new guy feel.

Almost certainly if you purchased your iMac directly from Apple it will come with Lion on it already so you won't need to upgrade.
Time Capsule will work fine with Lion.
If you bought directly from Apple you have 14 days to return the computer, so if you are not happy for any reason they will refund your money. At that point you can decide if you want a different model or not.
I'm sure your experience will be a good one so don't worry. Reading in these forums sometimes can jade a new user, however please remember these are technical help forums that people come to when they're having issues and are not representative of the general population.

Excise invoice should not get created without PGI

Hi,
I have a scenario where the billing document is being generated by the customer without PGI after creation of outbound delivery for exports. (This is as per customer's requirement - Copy control maintained in VTFL for the same - copying requirements 11 )
This creates a situation - excise invoice can be created without PGI - which creates problems for customer. This should not happen.
Customer wants a check during the excise invoice creation - excise invoice should not get created if PGI has not been done.
Kindly advise as to how this can be done.
Regards,
T Saravanan

Dear Saravanan
Two options are there
- in your existing routine itself, you can specify the control in such a way that unless the preceding document is PGId
- apply excise user exits like J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE to achieve the requirement.

Excise Invoice should not get created without J1ID data for all material

Dear All,
We have a requirement that excise invoice should not get generated unless chapter ID data is maintained for all the materials in the invoice.( when there is more than one item and chapter id is not maintained for all the items)
At present excise invoice is getting generated for single item which has chapter ID maintained and the items without chapter ID data are left out from the excise invoice. This results in an incorrect invoice.
We want to ensure that excise invoice is not created, unless all the items in the billing document have chapter ID maintained.
Kindly advise as to how this can be done.
Regards,
T Saravanan

Dear Muralidhar, Lakshmipathi,
Thanks for the solution.
I have been able to solve the problem using the user exit mentioned by you.
