Simple questions from newbies

Hi Gurus,
Please kindly state the examples of month end reconcilliation done between AP,GL and AR and PO.
Secondly, why will i want to Reverse Accrual,Reclassification and temporary adjustment journals, Please "Gurus" explain each.
Thirdly i reversed an unposted journal,what effects does it have or do i need to post both original and reversed together.

My 2 cents here.
We only reverse expense accruals and not inventory accruals. The reason is when we receive the inventory purchases, we have material (inventory account) that we have not paid for yet (inventory accrual). In PO shipments we decide whether we accrue on receipt or not. For inventory destination and inventory items, it is must, but inventory items to expense destination, expense items to expense destination and no item purchases (service), we can turn it off. Which means though material or service is received, you do not have any evidence for the material or service you have received (because there is no accounting created even if you have received in system).
To estimate your expense accruals, you run a program which generates your expense accruals between your expense accrual account (cr) and account entered in the PO distributions (Dr.).
When you match the invoice to PO the same account entered in the PO distribution will be debited again crediting your liability account.
This will be double accounting entry for this account, if you do not reverse.
Thanks

Few simple questions from newbie

I'm new to Java, but i've worked a lot with action script... it didn't help a lot :) Here are my few beginner questions:
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and other things mean in front of the class name?
How can i call variables from another classes: if i have one class that does one thing and stores the result in a variable, how can i use that variable from a different class?
How can i call the input window to enter the value for variable? I've tried with importing "io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend" thing, but i still cant call the input window?

I came to Java from ActionScript too, and I must say having ActionScript as your first programming language does NOT make it easy to learn other languages. I was incredibly lost when starting with Java.
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and
other things mean in front of the class name?You'll find all that in the Java Tutorial
How can i call variables from another classes: if i
have one class that does one thing and stores the
result in a variable, how can i use that variable
from a different class?To use the variable from another class, you need to make a call to the class. Let's say you're in ClassB; you would make a call to a ClassA variable by doing something such as:
ClassA.myVar.myMethod();
How can i call the input window to enter the value
for variable? I've tried with importing
"io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend"
thing, but i still cant call the input window?I recommend reading the tutorial before you try anything like that.

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

Fast User Switching Question from newbie

Hi
This is probably a simple question, so I apologize in advance...
I was looking around in system preferences and was customizing a few settings. Prior to my changing "something" I had my user name in the title bar (upper right) and I could switch to my other account via a pull down menu. My user name is no longer in the title bar and it seems that the only way I can switch accounts now is by using the Shift-Cmd-Q option now.
How do I get the user name back in the title bar so I can switch accounts like I used to do?
Thanks
RIch

Found it by searching, apparently a fairly common prob. It works now.

Simple question from jsp newbie

Hi friends,
I am learning jsp now. Reading documents and implementing simple applications. But i want to ask a question that is opposite to my logic.
Now, i am a textfield control on jsp as textField1. I have created this control from Palette. in java code i am writing "textbox1." but there is no action, no intellisense while pressing ctrl + space.
How the control is accessing from java code? Maybe my logic with visual studio .net. but i want to learn jsp logic.
Thanks.

A really stupid question from newbie...

hello all,
i am very new to java and i am trying to build a j2ee application...
rite now....i need to let my app communicate w/ an outside program thru' XML..
i had just learnt many thing about java w/ xml and i decided to use the XMLEncoder... it seems quite simple to use...BUT i have no idea on how to send/receive these XML files...i had thought of using socket connection, but i just found out that an EJB wouldn't allow socket networking... i bet this must be quite a stupid question coz i found nowhere teaching me this...=P
if u know about this, pls point me to some relevant docs / sites....i am anxious to learn about it...
thx so much,
karloogunna~

hello maesj, rune, and others,
thx alot for your advice...
and here's the environment i am working in:
OS: w2k
JDK: 1.4.1.01
j2ee: 1.3.1
jboss: 3.0.2
i am using flash as my UI, so i need communication
between the j2ee app and flash.
the data transfer involves a number of arrays of
objects (each object w/ a list of attributes...) so, i
think using XML as data-exchange is quite suitable (am
i wrong on this??)I don't know the first thing about Flash, but using XML as a means for exchanging data seams like a good idea, for the scenario you described.
>
and i am reading about the message-driven beans, i see
that they got a function onMessage() from where i can
get the XML strings (?), but i don't know how i can
feed these strings into this JMS from flash...do i
need to write a small java program on the client
side?I haven't that much experience with Message Driven Beans. What I do know is that they employ the Java Messaging Service (JMS). If you write a small client appplication with JMS support... you might be close.
>
also, i am not sure if i can send out XML strings
through the message-driven beans, i am reading on the
JMS...it got the MessageProducer, MessageConsumer,
MessageListener, and MessageSelector....should i be
using this? or can i use this together with the
message-driven beans??
In a Messaging system you will need message producers, and message consumers. To enable two-way communication, you can setup both the EJB and the client to handle both. When a message arrives at the consumer (or subscriber if you like), the JMS Service invokes the onMessage method. So you should implement your logic in the onMessage method, for example inspect the XML content, and act upon its content.
i am very sorry for my disorganized questions...(i
used to do low-level programming =P)
and really thank you for your advice!!!!
No problem, the amount of information to read can be quite overwhelming. Using JMS is just a suggestion, and might be considered overkill for your application. If you're using an IDE, like Sun ONE, creating a message driven bean is easy, and can be tried out, without too much hours passing.
Kind Regards,

Just a simple question from a noob

Hey guys
im just working on my website, im not doing anything complicated just simple stuff.
I just want to add a @facefont and change /edit the rules to just let me change the font. I wish it were as easy as just changing it with the property inspector but ive come to figure out that it doesnt work that way. Every time ive asked this question ive been referred to websites that have a 4 page guide on fonts,but this rarely helps me. im just looking a direct on how to do this. BTW im working with a preloaded template from dreamtemplate so everything is already formatted.
problems: whenever i try to change the font and save it nothing saves but the font size, i want to add @facefont and change the font
thanks in advanced

Using Custom Web fonts is a bit more complex than you realize.
http://alt-web.com/Articles/Custom-Web-Fonts.shtml
To make things simple, I recommend using one of the Free Edge Web Fonts. Simply copy & paste code into the <head> tags of your HTML page.
EXAMPLE:

<script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/pt-sans-narrow:n4,n7:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
Then define the font in your CSS code:
h2 {font-family:pt-sans-narrow, "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;}
h3 {
font-family: league-gothic, Impact, Haettenschweiler, "Franklin Gothic Bold", "Arial Black", sans-serif;
HTML code:
<h2>This is Heading 2 - pt-sans-narrow</h2>
<h3>This is Heading 3 - league-gothic</h3>

BPS questions from newbie

Hi SEM gurus,
I am a newbie to SEM. I was put into a SEM project that my company is implementing. I have gone through internal training but still I have some questions.
1. How does 'fields to be changed'/'fields for conditions' relate to single/multiple selections?
2. What is meant by 'internal creation of planning packages'?
3. Is FOX related to transformation library?
4. Is Data Slice in same as that in BW?
5. Where can I find more information to better understand BPS? I am more BW than BPS. My colleagues passed me some course manuals but I need more foundation materials. Any useful links?
Hope you gurus could throw me some hints.
rdgs,
Bryan Lee

Hi Bryan,
> 1. How does 'fields to be changed'/'fields for
> conditions' relate to single/multiple selections?
Fields to be changed typically have only single or range values for source values and single values for target values.
Fields for conditions usually support multiple selections.
> 2. What is meant by 'internal creation of planning
> packages'?
When you execute a planning function, the data of the planning package is processed in subsets. Those subsets are created by BPS. The users does not see them. If you are in BPS0 you can use "Execute with Trace" and each line in the trace corresponds to one internal package.
> 3. Is FOX related to transformation library?
There's no relation. FOX have it's own set of functions.
> 4. Is Data Slice in same as that in BW?
There are no data slices in BW.
> 5. Where can I find more information to better

There are a few books out. Search Amazon or SAP Press for "BPS".

Very simple question from a rookie

Hi,
I don't know how sequences work in OWB.
I have a very simple mapping:
1 (not empty) source table, 1 (empty) target table, 1 sequence.
Source and destination are connected.
The sequence.nextval is connected to the primary key. sequence.currval is not connected.
When I run the debug mode an error occurs: "Could not find data for all sources and target ...". The "Test Data" shows that OWB has not found data for the sequence.
Help!

I use 10gR2 and OWB 10.2
The tables and the sequence are deployed. They are in the database.
There's something strange about this:
Starting ("Start...") works.
The debugging does not work.
Problem nearly solved ...

Very simple question from a beginner

I am currently doing a little exercise, but I ran into a problem. I have written a class that supports operations on rational number. The fields are two long variables, one each that stores the numerator and denominator.
I have made add, subtract, multiply, and divide methods...
1. what I need help in is: beingh able to store the rational number in reduced for, with the denominator always positive
2. constructing a toString method, equals method, and compareTo method.
3. it also says "make sure the toString method correctly handles the case in which the denominator is zero by throwing an exception.
I have been working on this for a long time now, an I am stuck at this point.
I know this will be very simple for you guys and gals, but I am a beginner. Please offer some input, advice, and/or some code to help me get past this problem.
Thanks so much,
Jason

ok, here is what I have so far
public class Rational {
     public long num, den;

          this.num = n;
          this.den = d;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          Rational r = new Rational(1,2);
          Rational s = new Rational(3,4);
          Rational rmuls = r.multiply(s);
          Rational rdivs = r.divide(s);
          Rational radds = r.add(s);
          Rational rsubs = r.subtract(s);
          r.print();
          s.print();
          rmuls.print();

Question from newbie J2ME - USB - Joystick...

Hi,
Forgive my possibly naive question since I am new to J2ME.
Is it possible to connect an external device to a cell-phone's USB device and have a Java J2ME program communicate with the external device by sending/recieving USB commands/data?
For example, can I connect a joystick that works using USB to a cell phone and play a J2ME game using a joystick?
Thanks!

the code you provided does not set the command listener for Disclaimer screen.
If the listener is not set anywhere else, that might be the reason for NPE indeed.
BTW, given design of the class, I'd add a line right after addCommand looking like:
setCommandListener(this);

Two questions from newbie (just got my Zen Micr

Hi, just got my Zen Micro after reading up on lots of players. Two quick questions if i may:-
. Why the difference in keyboard icons? I notice on some that the 'back' button actually has the word 'back' written on it whereas others only have the arrow.
2. After i've charged the player (for 5 hours minimum on first charge?) should i immediately update with the two firmware downloads before adding songs?
Thanks in advance
Jaff

jaf089:
. The face plate has changed, presumably for international markets where people don't speak English.
2. The player will be charged in a maximum of 4 hours. The way to tell its charged is once the charging icon and glow stop, wait another 30 minutes for the final slow charge, then it will be ready.
You don't need to update with two different firmware updates, you can go straight to an update without one beforehand.
The .0.03 update fixes a battery charging bug, if you don't have this already, but allows the player to stay accessible with MediaSource.
The v2 updates give the player MTP access (driverless access with Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0). Be warned though, some people have had stability problems with both the connection and software after this upgrade.

Driver question from newbie

I read in Maximum PC magazine that you should periodically update the chipset drivers for your mobo? The only Intel driver listed on the MSI website was released in September 2003 (v5.02.1002) and reads "Add support for Intel 848P and 865GV". According to my literature, my mobo is an MSI 875P NEO-LSR 500/800MHZ (whatever that means)...how do I determine if this driver is the correct one?

These are the latest INF drivers that MSI has released. There are newer ones available from Intel that are not specifically for your motherboard but some people have installed them successfully. Personally I don't think you should make this change unless your having a problem related to your current INF drivers. Most people say you should install the INF files IMMEDIATELY after installing Windows and before anything else to avoid conflicts with other drivers. IMO I don't think you'll see any real performance increase with this type of upgrade...It's more to add functionality and solve existing problems.
If you decide to go ahead, you should make sure XP System Restore is functioning and create a restore point before applying the update so there's a chance you could recover easily if you have to.

[answered] Simple question from a simple mind

Hello all,
I'm wondering.
When we upgrade the kernel for instance. The old one get deleted.
But the computer is running on the old deleted kernel until you reboot.
How does that happen ? And it's the same for all apps in fact.
How an app can be changed while running, and when you restart it, it's the new version.
I mean, if we delete the old version, what is running then ??
I hope someone can enlighten me
Last edited by Kooothor (2011-01-15 11:45:58)

If you delete the old version, while it is running, the stuff that you continue running is preloaded in your ram. If not all libraries are preloaded it's bound to crash at some point, but for the most small programs, they survive in your ram until you restart them.
The same thing goes for the kernel - it's the core of your os and it's kept preloaded in the ram. If you however try to load a new module (modprobe something) it'll probably spun an error "Module not found" since the new kernel is in different directory.
Hope I was clear enough.
