Some basic information about EBP/SRM

Hi All,
I am new to SDN as well as to EBP/SRM.
While going through the forum, I got to know that there are terms like classic scenario, extended classic etc.
Can anyone pls tell me what do you mena by this? How do you determine what is your scenario?
Can someone share some impotant basic things about EBP/SRM that one needs to know before starting any work on the same.
Will reward full points if I get a good material.
Thanks in advance & expecting replies form your end.

  • Can somebody teach me some basic knowledge about SD?

    I work in BW but I have to know some basic knowledge about SD that are listed below:
    How to create a sales order?
    what is sales organization?
    what is sold to party and many more if you have any links for this kind of information please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    York

    Hai Les York,
    What you want to know is a vast subject and it will be better to sit with any SD consultant and know all you want. I can do that if you are in Hyderabad.
    To briefly tell you what you wanted is:
    A Sales Organization is the highest organizational element in any Sales Department of a Company and it is responsible for all the sales activity of that company.
    A Sold-to-Party (SP) is non other than your basic Customer. We call him so because he may have a different place where sometimes we have to give deliveries and that place / department will be called as a Ship to Party (SH) of our SP. Like wise if you have a different place to send the Invoice of that SP, then that department will be known as the Bill to Party (BP) for this SP. And if some body other than our SP is paying, then he will be our Payer (PY).
    Now to make a Sales Order, go to T Code - VA01, enter, enter your Sales Document Type and your Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, your Division and hit enter, now enter your SP no., and your customer's PO no., and the Material(s) and their respective quantities and if all the basic customization has been done correctly, you will get the Price, Plant, Storage Location, etc., and you can save it.
    Then you do your Delivery and finally the Billing depending on your client's buiseness process.
    SAP help desk is the best place to help you with all your queries regarding SAP - SD, for Sales Documents I can give you this link, remove all the spaces and use it.

  • Playing video in labview with some basic information output for my program.

    I'm trying to program something similar to NI's product DIAdem CLIP in LabVIEW.  A program that synchronizes test data with video.  I'm trying to find a decent video component that gives me basic information about what is being played.
    My first thought is to use Windows Media Player 10 w/ LabVIEW ActiveX container.  I'm a little confussed as to what I'm doing with it, however.  I can't find any information about Windows Media Player 10 in the Class Browser.
    All I really need is:
    Input:
    1. The file for the embedded media player to play.
    Output:
    1. The framerate of the file being played.
    2. The current frame.
    I think with that I should be able to put a marker in my data graphs that indicates where that data correlates with the playing video.
    Thank you for your input!
    -Nic

    Your best source of information regarding the Windows Media Player object model is MSDN. I've only done a little bit of playing with Windows Media embedded in LabVIEW, but enough to know it was a pain and not worth the effort. NI has a KnowledgeBase article that indicates you will probably need LV8. In terms of your specific query regarding position, you should take a look at the "Controls" object in the object model, as that has properties I think you're going to need.

  • Some basic question about SCM Installation

    Hi Folks,
    Could you please advice me about some basic questions about SCM and its installation -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    I know these are some basic questions, but these will help me give me a direction.
    With best wishes,
    Krishna

    Hello Krishna -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    ---> There are various Modules in SCM Like APO (Sub Modules  DP (stand alone), SNP Needs Master data from R/3 and has to pass on transactional Data to R/3, PPDS same as SNP, GATP same as SNP), ICH needs Data from R/3 to work with. Core Interface (CIF) connects R/3 to APO for transferring data.
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    -->For thorough understanding explore the following links

    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    -->Refer Above
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    --> APO comes with a small BI inbuilt functionality. you can only perform certain functions using that BI.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone please tell me some basic infomation about Master data?

    Can anyone please tell me some basic infomation about Master data like
    1)The history of master data
    2) Why it is so critical
    3) What the advantages of it
    4) What is the future of master data
    Any inputs in this regard will be very helpful
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Gowri,
    Master data is backbone of any business software.It helps us to do transaction.
    If you go to any ATM and do some transaction,you get a monthly statement.This monthly statement contains your address details and your transaction details.
    So your address details and your account is like master data which is not changed so frequently but your transactions keep on happening on regular basis on your account and name.So your name and account are your master data which is set up once and donot change so frequently.
    Similary if you create a Purchase order in SAP system.You need Material master and vendor master.The material master contains material details and vendor master contains vendor details and using that you create PO which is a transactional data which keep on happening for a particular vendor & material combination on regular basis.
    So we set up master data once and make changes to these only when needed and record transaction against that.
    So in first case your banking details which you enter while opening account is your master data and in next case Material Master and vendor master is master data which set up mostly once.
    There are  three types of data in SAP system
    1. Organizational level data (ICICI Bank and Branch)
    2. Master data (Your User data while opening account)
    3. Transactional data (Your Regular transaction).
    I hope ,you are clear on this by now.
    There is a SAP software in Netweaver Stack now called MDM (Master data management) which will help to manage master data.
    regards,Nishant
    Please reward points if this helps.

    Hi,
    I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
    From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
    F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
    You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
    Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
    But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
    Hope this helps

  • Some basic questions about serialization

    Hi,
    I have some basic questions on serialization.
    1. What are the basic criteria to make an object serializable(except that it must implement serializable ?) I mean that objects of some class inherently cannot be serialized so any object must have some features which makes it serializable/non serializable.
    2. I know it makes no sense to serialize a socket because it is fixed only by specifying ip and port at both ends, and is valid only when the network connection remains valid. Still in the context of my previous question, I would like to know why a socket cannot be serialized.

  • Some basic questions about foriegn key , and relationships.

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I read some documents about foreugn key and tables relation ships.
    but i still can not understnad some stuff.
    1-when we have a foreign key , we have two tables that we want to relate them together
    in a way that one of ? table columns forced to be a value from ?? table column.
    what is name of those two tables , i saw , child-parent , ..... which confuse me.
    can some one please tell me correct name of those two tables ?
    2-some times we need some kind of master details relation like :
    one-to-many : i this case MANY table will have a column to point a record in ONE table , can this relation be a foreign key relation ?
    3-we can achieve many-to-many relation only by using a helper table to host both tables primary keys in a record to relate them together.
    can you point me to some resources that help me to find answers to this questions ?
    or explain them to me ?
    thank you for your time.

    These are critical database basics that you need to understand. I would seriously recommend getting some study in, because proper relational database design relies on the basic principle of data and relationships and a process called normalization.
    In reality, you only really need one gigantic table to host data. It would include everything you would want to know about something - let's take a sales order for example. You would have to record the customer's name, address, etc. along with every item they ordered, etc. You would have a HUGE table full of data that appeared over and over and over again. This is bad design for two basic reasons: it is difficult to query, and it is very easy to have minor mistakes like capitalization or alternate spellings that prevent things from matching up properly. For example, let's say Bob orders 40 widgets and 40 digits. In our hypothetical table, we could put it in as Bob - 40 widgets and Robert - 40 digits. See how confusing this can get even in a simple example? And let's say you wanted to correct all of Robert's orders to say Bob and you found out there were 40 orders from "Robert" How would you know which ones to change?
    The process of normalization helps to reduce the chance for these types of errors in addition to creating a good basis for indexes. You normalize the data by creating sets of parent/child tables with a "key" value to match them. In our hypothetical situation, you could create a table for orders and a table for customers. In the customers table you give all the detail for the customer in one place, and you assign each customer a unique number or ID. In the orders table we add the customer ID (NOT the name) and we ensure that we are getting the customer we want, in addition to saving a lot of space and eliminating redundancy. In our example, the customers table is the "parent" table and the orders table is the "child" table. The child table references the unique entries in the parent table via that id. That reference is referred to as a foreign key. The foreign key in the child table points back to the original and complete record in the parent table and eliminates the redundancy of keeping all that extra data for every order. Foreign keys in child tables always refer to a primary/unique key in the parent field.
    That help?

  • Some basic questions about rmi registry  context  "bind" and "lookup"

    We have more processing to do than can be accomplished with a single computer. To solve the problem I've implemented a distributed computing solution using RMI. (The first time I saw RMI was about 2 weeks ago, so please bear with me!)
    The implementation is a proof of concept not a fully fleshed out system. I have one "Workunit Distributor" computer and any number of "Data Processor" computers all on the same lan segment. "Workunit Distributor" and "Data Processor" computers are both RMI client and server to each other. The "Data Processor" computers are given the ip address and name of the "Data Distributor" on the commandline when they start. They communicate their willingness to receive and process a workunit to the ""Workunit Distributor" via a RMI call. Work units are sent to available "DataProcessors" and results are eventually returned to the "WorkunitDistributor" (minutes or hours later). The model program works quite well, and appears to be capable of doing the processing we need to get done.
    But now that it seems viable, I've been asked to make it a little more scalable, flexible and self configuring. In particular, instead of one "Workunit Distributor", any number of "Workunit Distributors" should be allowed to show up or disappear from the lan at any time and the system should continue to function. I've worked out a good scheme for how this can be done, but I have a couple of questions about the RMI registry (registries?). I'm trying to keep from implementing some functionality that may already be available as a library or subsystem.
    With my current model design, each computer binds to its own registry with a unique name. For instance:
    CRDataProcessorImpl crdpi = new CRDataProcessorImpl(svr);
    Context crDataProcessingContext = new InitialContext();
    crDataProcessingContext.bind("rmi:"+hostName, crdpi);
    Currently the "Data Processors" get the info they need for a Context lookup() of the one and only "Workunit Distributor" from the commandline. And the info the "Workunit Distributor" needs to do a Context lookup() of a "DataProcessor" is passed to it from each "DataProcessor" via a RMI call.
    But in the newer (yet to be implemented) scheme where any and all "Workunit Distributors" show up and disappear whenever they feel like, the naming bootstrapping scheme described above won't work.
    I can imagine a few ways of solving this problem. For instance, having "Workunit Distributors" multicast their contact information on the lan and have a worker thread on each "Data Processor" keep track of the naming information that was multicast. Another alternative (more organized, but more complex) might be to have a dedicated host with a "well known" address and port that "Workunit Distributors" and "Data Processors" could all go to, to register or look up at an application level. Sort of a "domain name service" for RMI. But both these schemes look like a lot of work to implement , debug and maintain.
    The BEST thing would be if there was one plain vanilla RMI registry that was usable by all RMI enabled computers instead of having each computer have its own local name registry. In volume 2 of the Core Java2 book it says that every registry must be local. I'm only hoping there's been progress since the book was published and now a central rmi registry is available.
    If you have any ideas about this I'd like to hear what you know.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Lenny Wintfeld
    ps - I don't believe web services, as full featured as it is, is a useful alternative. I'm moving 100's (in the future possibly 1000's) of megabytes back an forth for processing.

    The local bind/rebind/unbind restriction is still there and it will always be there.
    I would look at
    (a) RMI/IIOP, where you use COSNaming as a registry, which doesn't have that registriction, and which also has location-independent object identifiers
    (b) Jini.
