Simple costing

There is scenario like Job work sales order against Sub contract purchase order, which same received from one of the internal customer. Now business would like do simple costing based on Job work sales order and subsequent settlement also. Let us know whether any possibilities to do like that in SAP as per standard best practice.
In business point of view, we are thinking to assign required materials in Sales order costing view and activities also. Is it possible to consume those values, while doing the any activity? Kindly explain brief, I hope it would very helpful to us.

Can I create a Statistical Cost Center?

Can I create a Statistical Cost Center?
If I use an other real CO object (WBE or Internal Order or others), I could create a Statistical Cost Center. I did'nt reach to make it in customing neither in other places.
Let me know
Thanks

hi,
I hope it is too simple
Cost center doesn't have any setting like real/ statiscal.
whereas other object like PP order, or other cost object can be create as real/statiscal.
as such, if my order is real then entries inorder will be statiscal.
Thanks and regards,

NoFilter vs Previous Year

Hi All,
I am new to BO/WEBI and I am facing an issue with a simple cost center report. My plan is to build a report with following structure
Cost element │ Act. Month │ Plan Month │ Budget Full Year Current │ Budget Full Year Previous Year │
and I am using following input controls
Cost center (Single value)
Fiscal Year/period (Single value)
The columns contains following:
Cost element: The Dimension “Cost element”
Act. Month: The measure “Amount actual”
Plan Month: The measure “Amount plan”
Budget Full Year Current: The formula “Plan Total - Current year”
Budget Full Year Previous: The formula “Plan Total - Previous year”
The two formulas is made as below
Plan Total - Current year:
=NoFilter(Sum([Amount Plan])) Where ([Cost Center]=ReportFilter([Cost Center]) And [Fiscal year]=[Current year] And [Version]="Plan/actual version")
([Current year] = Right([Fiscal year/period].[Fiscal year/period - Key];4) (I would have used Reportfilter, but for some reason it gives me all the values)
Plan Total - Previous year
=NoFilter(Sum([Amount Plan])) Where ([Cost Center]=ReportFilter([Cost Center]) And [Fiscal year]=[Previous Year] And [Version]="Plan/actual version")
[Previous Year] = Left(Right([Fiscal year/period].[Fiscal year/period - Key];4);2)+ If(Right(ReportFilter([Fiscal year/period]);4)="2012";"11";If(Right(ReportFilter([Fiscal year/period]);4)="2013";"12";"13"))
Now I am facing following issues
The column “Budget Full Year Previous Year” is blank (properly due to a #Multivalue-issue). How do I fix this?
Is there a smarter way to find “Budget Full Year Current” and “Budget Full Year Previous”
The column “Plan Total - Current year” is working, but this is properly because the variable choose all the year and the Input control filters the right year
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Gill
Yes I am using Bex as my data source. I have asked IT to make the selection within Bex, but it created some new issues
IT made a measure for Budget Full Year Previous, which was based on Current year - 1. Unfortunately this only worked if the users choose this year (2014) and the Budget Full Year Previous would then be 2013. If the user select fx August 2013 the Budget Full Year Previous will again be 2013
As an alternative IT suggested the selection should be in a prompt on the query. This could maybe work, but my report is quite slow so the user has to wait approx 2½ min each they change period.
Thanks for reply

Virtual shopping cart in iweb'09?

I would like to add a virtual shopping cart to my website-customers click on the check boxes and it adds it to a cart, the total is a quote only. I just want a simple cost calculator on my site. Is there a way to do this in iweb'09, or any html or some software (preferably free!) that could let me achieve this?
Thanks for your help!

You could use something like an online store to do something like that. Do a Google search and see what comes up.
That definitely won't be free though.
Some of the online web site creation package contain store options built in - take a look at http://www.weebly.com and see if you could use this instead of iWeb.

Corporate Verizon running in stealth mode - really?

To Whom this Concerns, I am and have been a loyal Verizon wireless customer for years and until most recent years and months have been satisfied with service and more importantly (COST of SERVICES).
The above said; while the board of Verizon Wireless continues to raid the customers wallet for like services that other providers can apparently provide for ruffly half the cost - I would like to offer some genuine ways business that should be done while at the same time your taking from your customers.
First - how about providing a direct link to the CEO of this company - stop hiding - be proud of the service you provide and if you are proud and stand by your commitment of ethical business then this should be right up front on your website and or thru TV spot service announcements.
Listen to your customer - be a partner - not a leach - don't prey on the customer that has made a choice to do business with you << this goes a long way.
Reducing your rates especially for those customers that have been loyal and have multiple lines seems quite in-line with doing good business and while you must answer to the board of directors, your business is currently near 100 billion yearly, this should provide well for corporate bonus payouts but does very little for the average consumer that at the end of the day is putting those very bonus payouts in your pockets.
"Service is service" the act of charging a premium based on brand rather than service or cost of services provided is quite disingenuous.
You now offer "rewards points" , if these are truly rewards points then your customers who have earned them should be able to use them as well to purchase gigabyte service, minutes, or as a subsidy to their monthly bill - this would also go a long way.
Discontinue the act of offering a extended service such as the additional 5 gigs of data for $20.00, instead now you have upped this to $40.00 for a reduced amount of service to 4 gigs. This is not a commodity, this is simple cost of services rendered - treat it as such instead of the continual barrage of attack on your customer.
I look forward to some answers that are worthy of my time that has been spent here.
Regards, C. Meek

Well you will be sitting there waiting. This is a peer to peer forum and customer service reps only occasionally drop in. Go back to the verizon main page and click on the contact us link. Or call 8009220204.

Authoring Tool "Inherit Class" vs "New Class" vs "Extended Class" Scenario Help

Hi Community,
I am currently creating the ground work needed to create Self Service Portal Request Offerings to be used by end users and then take that input and automate it with Orchestrator.
I'm pretty comfortable with the overall process of how this is done, but I was hoping to get guidance from the community to make sure that I don't waste my time by editing my existing management pack incorrectly from the beginning.
We currently have a Whole bunch of SR and IR Templates in a Management Pack - lets call it: "Company.Templates.MP" now what I want to do is edit this MP and add new List and String Properties to hold the responses provided from the
Self Service Portal so that I can use a Runbook Activity to feed these responses into Orchestrator.
Now what I have done is "Extended" the existing "Service Request" and "Incident" classes and created the new properties in each extended class. Now that I have Extended the default Classes I believe that the properties now apply
to EVERY existing and new SR and IR.
My question is... Do you think I have done this correctly?
I have a gut feeling that I have done it wrong and I should revert my MP changes and then instead of extending the existing IR and SR Classes which affect all existing Work Items, I should create a new SR and IR class which would then be used to create new
Templates which are then ONLY ones that contain the new properties that would be used for Runbook Automation.
The feedback I receive will be VERY MUCHLY appreciated...

Answering your implicit question in the title:
Inherit is where you create a new class that has all the properties of the parent and then some new ones also, but people can still use the parent for regular work. This is for specialization, like say you want a new type of incident to
cover firewall problems, and need new properties for the IP and Ports from the portal.
Extended would be where you add properties to a class that make sense for all of those and all inheriting classes. say the client has a cost of IT tracking system where every Incident and Service Request needs to be assigned a cost of effort
code, you would create two extensions for Incident and Service request, and point them at the same enum list. you wouldn't extend WorkItem, because changes, activities, released etc wouldn't use a simple cost estimate list value, and you wouldn't inherit off
of SR and IR because all user requests should have this property, even if some of them are blank
New would be a class from scratch that inherits from Entity. This is hardly ever what you want to do, because even completely new things are either work items or config items, and should, where ever possible, inherit from one of those
basil classes
Now to your explicit question: No, i think you've done exactly what the situation called for. every SR should have this value, even if it is empty for the historical items.
two side notes: 1) any item that refers to the base of an extension will continue to work as expected, but 2) Offerings are always the exception. The net of these two rule of thumb guidelines is that your existing templates should continue to work
without modification, but you may have to recreate the offering before you can use the new property in a question.
AFAIK you cannot extend an abstract calls (ex. Work Item), but I could be wrong.

Runtime error ... MediaManager9.exe

BB 8900 with v4.6.1.231 phone software and BB Desktop Manager v5.0.1
I have been using my BB 8900 and this desktop software for a couple of years with no issues when transferring media. Today, I received the MS Visual C++ Runtime Library Error when I tried to launch the Media Manager portion of the desktop software:
Runtime error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Roxio\media Manager 9\MediaManager9.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I searched the Knowledge Base and found KB13916. I performed BOTH resolutions, Cause 1 and Cause 2.
Alas, no difference after restarting and attempting to launch the Media Manager software again from the BB Desktop window.
I have some pretty important photos that I need to upload very soon.
I need some serious help......
I am unwilling to upgrade the phone firmware because of bad experiences when peers upgraded theirs. I MIGHT be willing to upgrade the Desktop software, if it won't cause additional problems.
I have made no changes to the software since I last used the Desktop Software to do the same activity. My phone DID synch fine when I did that.
I HAVE installed recent registry cleanup software...I am suspicious that may have contributed to the problem.
Suggestions?

HP iLO alerts

I have one HP DL380 G7 server that is in a remote office. Looks like
iLO 3 does not have the ability to send email notifcations, that
appears to be a feature of iLO 4. I've never used snmp, but that
appears to be my only option with this server. Just looking for
suggestions for a simple cost effective method of receiving snmp
alerts from iLO 3 and converting them to an email message so I can get
notified of problems.
Thanks,
Ken

the snmptrapd shipped with SLES (net-snmp package) is capable of doing
so - you set it up to receive all traps and let it call a shell script
for those that are interesting to you. What the shell script does is up
to you - sending an email for sure is within limits

VHS transfer

Simplest (and best) method for getting video from VHS tape into Final Cut Express?
Thanks,
Terry D

Hi
Depends on
• Simple = Cost's more
• Tedious = Cheaper
Simples:
I use a Canopus (Grass Valley) ADVC-300 an A/D-box that convert from VHS-VCR directly via FireWire into Mac and FinalCut.
• As my VHS tapes are old and often recorded in LP-modes the drop outs are many.
• By using this device - it has TimeBase correction = it mends small drop outs AND KEEP AUDIO in perfect sync. even on bad tapes
• BUT it's far from Cheap.
Tedious
Get a cheaper A/D-box or Record to Camera with Analog in
• If there are drop-out's on Your tape You'll have to keep on Importing as FinalCut halt's after each drop-out and audio needs to be edited into right place as it will slowly go more and more out of sync.
A few drop-out's might be OK - but after a few hundred one start's to re-consider.
Yours Bengt W

New GL vs Business Areas

Hi
We are currently on version 4.7c and have not activated business areas. There is a requirement from our Finance users to activate Business Areas now since some statutory reporting requires us to generate Locationwise Trial Balance in system. At present without business areas, we can only generate Company Level Trial Balance. We cannot use Profit Centre Accounting as we have not mapped Profit Centres to locations but they are mapped to the various brands that we have.
A lot of FI consultants have told us that we will be able to generate a location-wise TB using the NEW GL functionality in ECC 6.0 - can any of you give your views on whether we will be able to achieve this functionality with New GL without needing to activate Business Areas.
Thanks in advance.
Shobhana.

hi
General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New)
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture of external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate.
Beyond fulfilling the legal requirements, General Ledger Accounting also fulfills other requirements for modern accounting:
- Parallel Accounting
General Ledger Accounting allows you to perform parallel accounting by managing several parallel ledgers for different accounting principles.
- Integration of Legal and Management Reporting
In General Ledger Accounting, you can perform internal management reporting in parallel with legal reporting. For this purpose, the Profit Center Accounting functions are integrated with General Ledger Accounting. Furthermore, you can generate financial statements for any dimension (such as profit center).
- Segment Reporting
General Ledger Accounting supports the segment reports required by the accounting principles IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Segment dimension.
- Cost of Sales Accounting
You can perform cost of sales accounting in General Ledger Accounting. For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Functional Area dimension.
Features
General Ledger Accounting comprises the following functions for entering and evaluating posting data:
- Choice between group level or company level
- Automatic and simultaneous posting of all subledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
- Simultaneous updating of the parallel general ledgers and of the cost accounting areas
- Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current posting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different balance sheet versions, and additional analyses.
In this way, General Ledger Accounting automatically serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the central and up-to-date component for reporting. Individual transactions can be checked at any time in real time by displaying the original documents, line items, and monthly debits and credits at various levels such as:
- Account information
- Journals
- Totals/transaction figures
- Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
However, SAP still offers to choose between the New GL and the old Classic GL way of accounting.
There are certain limitations in the new GL and clients are adopting to the new gl concept.
New GL configs
If you are having multiple company codes in US / Europe - using multiple ledgers (leading and non leading) will be very helpful for reporting purposes like US GAAP / IAS / regulatory requirements of Europe etc.
Once you activate the New GL - a new nodes will be populated in SPRO. In the New GL configuration you can configure the ledgers etc.
Further, is it a new implementation or migrating to higher version from an existing version of SAP. If you are migrating from an exisitng SAP system - the process to be adopted will be different.
I am summarizing a few points on New GL:
1. New GL needs to be activated in IMG.
2. When Client chooses to implement New GL and if it activated new IMG and transactions are added to the menu path.
3. New GL has to be implemented for all Company Codes in an environment. It cannot be implemented for specific Company Codes.
4. Segments are a new concept in my SAP ERP. Segment and Partner Segment are created.
5. It is a unified world u2013 all the ledgers are at one place. In the classic system u2013 normal Ledger for GL, COGS, PCA Ledger SL etc are all separate.
6. Scenario: Term used with my SAP ERP 2004: identifies the fields that are updated. Eg. Profit Center Scenario.
7. If the New GL is activated u2013 Programs SAPF180 and SAPF181 are no longer there.
8. There is scope to use both old and the new GL. In such case all the Transactions will be available in the menu bar.
9. Summary Table: FAGLFLEXT.
10. Classic GL (GLT0) >> New GL activation (FAGL_ACTIVATION)
11. One version of the truth is stored in GL (Same valuation, No inconsistency, No reconciliation)
12. Supports different reporting purposes: (Legal reporting, Segment Reporting, Management Reporting).
13. Multi Dimensional analysis u2013 Account analysis, Drill down reporting etc.
14. Option to add Industry specific / Customer defined fields.
15. Meets International requirements. Supports simple cost accounting via distribution and assessment in GL.
16. Assignment to leading ledger:
FIN_CCA (Cost Center Update)
FIN_CONS (Preparation for Consolidation)
FIN_GSBER (Business Area Update).
FIN_PCA (Profit Center Update)
FIN_SEGM (Update of Segment)
FIN_UKV (Cost of Sales Accounting)
One Ledger is assigned the role of Leading Ledger and all Company Codes are automatically assigned to this Ledger. Group Accounting is mapped to this Ledger. Asset accounting and Controlling are posted to leading ledger.
Additional Ledgers are created for parallel reporting. Additional local currency to non leading ledger. Alternate fiscal year variants can be assigned. Assignment of scenarios.
Data Structures for New GL:
Document Header: BKPF
Affecting Leading Ledger: BSEG.
Affect only additional ledgers: BSEG_ADD.
Open Items remain unchanged. BSIK, BSIS, BSID, BSAK, BSAS, BSAD
Totals Table GLT0 is omitted.
Split Line Items/ Split Totals FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT
New Tables are FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT. Existing documents in BKPF/BSEG are used as basis for new Tables. During migration, document splitting is carried out according to Customizing.
Initially during migration no data will get posted to BSED_ADD.

Apps crashing constantly on Ipad 1 after update

I updated my Ipad 1 recently and now most of the apps crash constantly. I have read the threads about deactivating icloud.I dont even know what it is, i've never used it or activated it. I went into my settings---I cloud, and there is no options for this app. I need a walk through or something...

I am not running a lot of apps, restarting it does nothing, restoring to factory settings does nothing. If there is not a simple cost free fix, I will be trading my Ipad in for a new windows tablet.

Cross Department charging

We are thinking of looking at ways to cross charge from one Cost Centre to another. We currently do this via timesheets for employees. However we want to look at cross charging amounts for desk space etc. Obviously we could do this through journals, but is there another way? Would it involve invoicing for example?
Any help gratefully received.

Cross charge amongst cost centers are covered under the area Allocations in Cost center. You can set up a cycle in an allocation method called Assessment, specify the sender and receiver and basis of allocation.
You run this cycle at period ends to carry out the charge.
KSU5 is the t-code.
You can also use KB11N for simple cost allocation between cost centers. There is no invoice involved in either case.

SQL tuning or a simple comprise between time and cost?

Hi,
What I understand is that SQL tuning is a simple comprise between time and cost. Objectives of SQL tuning include:
Reduce Cost
Reduce Time
Better Results
Is it right and correct?
Adith

NO, WRONG.
reducing COST is meaningless, because COST is meaningless. It's used internally by the optimizer to weigh the cost/benefits of different execution plans (access methods) for a single query. cost CANNOT be compared across queries. and if you add a hint to a sql, then it becomes a different sql (proven by looking in v$sql) so you cannot compare costs. in fact, when you provide a hint, oracle artificially lowers the cost associated with the hinted action in order to make that action look better to the optimizer, helping it to be choosen.
reduce time. reduce io. reduce memory usage. that's it.

How do I make a simple time-spend, cost tracking sheet? (New to numbers)

I could not find how to make a simple time-spend = cost tracking sheet for one customer at a time. It is hard for me to keep track of the time I use for arranging music in Logic and Sibelius. I was thinking like A=date, B=what was done, C=start working, D=end working, E=D-C time spend, F=charge for time spend. Sometimes I do work twice or more on a day? (set up E to calkulate total time and F the cost) I do not want to use special software or online service. Thank you for all your help.

Hi Walter,
This topic as come up a couple of times in the past month or so, so a search of the forum should give you at least part of the answer.
Aside from the formula in column F, you already have the solution.
in F, the basic formula is =duration x rate
In the spreadsheet, that is entered as =DUR2HOURS(E)*48
if the rate is $48/hour
The IFERROR function is used to avoid error triangles in the rows where column F does not contain a duration.
Row 5 is a Footer row. The formulas in this row are simple SUM() statements; -=SUM(F) and =SUM(G)
Column F shows an error because of the 0 (a number, not a duration) in Row 4.

Barry
