Split By vs. Deliver By

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what the Deliver By option does and how to use it. The only examples I can find specify the same column for both the Split By and the Deliver By options. Oracle briefly describes in the documentation the use of two different values, but offers no snippet of XML to help the reader understand the description.
I believe I understand that the Split By option determines how the output will be "split up" during bursting, or to put it another way, how many different "objects" (e.g. how many files or how many e-mails) will be generated during bursting. If I have three Regions, and Region is my Split By criteria, I'll get three files or three e-mails. Whether the bursting generates files or e-mails (or Faxes, etc..), is determined by the value for the DEL_CHANNEL criteria in the bursting query.
If that understanding of Split By is wrong, please correct it.
The documentation for Deliver By states: "The Deliver By element is the data element from the report file by which to determine the *delivery method*. In the invoice example, it is likely that each invoice will have delivery criteria determined by customer, therefore the Deliver By element may be CUSTOMER_ID."
The term "delivery criteria" is not defined. On page 3.5 of the documentation, the term delivery method is described in terms of the different options available on the Delivery Configuration page of the Admin tab. So delivery method can mean e-mail, fax, printer, and so forth, but not FILE.
Question 1: If the Deliver By option specifies the type of output (e.g. email or printer), then why do the examples in the documentation refer to a CUSTOMER_ID element? To me, CUSTOMER_ID would be an ID code, and wouldn't represent a type of output.
Question 2: If the Deliver By option specifies the type of output, then is the DEL_CHANNEL option still required in the bursting query?
Question 3: Can someone please share a snippet of XML code that clearly demonstrates how and when to use a Deliver By column that is different from the Split By column?

Question 1: If the Deliver By option specifies the type of output (e.g. email or printer), then why do the examples in the documentation refer to a CUSTOMER_ID element? To me, CUSTOMER_ID would be an ID code, and wouldn't represent a type of output.
Your assumption about the delivery is wrong here.
Delivery by each customer id, which matches the KEY in the bursting query is the answer.
Question 2: If the Deliver By option specifies the type of output, then is the DEL_CHANNEL option still required in the bursting query?
Delivery by has to match the key in the bursting query.
you are not specifying the delivery mode here, but you will be specify the delivery method in bursting query.

Email Burst - Not splitting as expected

I have a data set that is based on an xml file.
The xml file was exported based on a report currently being run in JD Edwards.
I want to split the invoices based upon the Customer #.
If I set the Split by and Deliver by to the Customer # field it sends a PDF for each customer that has an invoice BUT the rest of the data in the form in not populated (the Customer number is populated).
If I split by another field on the form it populates that field and not the Customer # but no data.
The RTF file is set to Repeat for each Customer (_AddressSoldTo is the XML field for this). If I split by this and Deliver by Customer # it sends one pdf split into pages by customer with fully populated data.
Does anyone have any ideas? If you need more information than what I provided let me know.

Document splitting & new GL function

Hi
ARCHITECTURE OF THE NEW GENERAL LEDGER
With releases of SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP)
software up to and including SAP R/3 and SAP R/3 Enterprise
software, companies would handle general-ledger accounting
by using different SAP applications. Depending on specific
company or industry requirements, or local accounting principles,
you had to implement application components or functions
that sometimes had their own user interfaces. For example,
you might use special-purpose ledger software to meet
certain reporting requirements such as having totals in additional
table fields. In addition, SAP profit-center accounting
software resided in a separate application. Software for both the
special-purpose ledger and profit-center accounting offered
certain functions that were not automatically reconciled
with functions in the general-ledger accounting software.
Consequently, closing activities involved additional reconciliation
effort.
The new general ledger in mySAP ERP 2005 covers all these
functions and requirements, but retains the familiar accounting
interface with its variety of services, such as currency
translation and continues to provide functions that support
postings. Upstream software for sales and distribution and
materials management works with the new general ledger in
exactly the same way as before. Familiar and well-tested tables
BSEG, document table; BSIS, open items for new general-ledger
accounts; and BSAS, cleared items for general-ledger accounts
are still part of the solution and form the database for many
standard reports and customer-specific reports.
Users familiar with SAP R/3 will find a similar interface for the
new general ledger. New general-ledger functions for financial
allocation or statistical key figures, for example, share the same
interface design as functions for controlling.
The new general ledger offers the following technical
advantages:
The introduction and portrayal of business models now
occurs within a single solution. This design avoids any need
for a separate cost-of-sales ledger, special-purpose ledger,
reconciliation ledger, or profit-center ledger.
Users need to become familiar only with the interface and
functions of one application. Users already familiar with SAP
R/3 require little, if any, training.
Data is stored only once in the system (in a single totals table)
eliminating data redundancy.
No need for additional reconciliation activities during closing.
It is now easier to make adjustments to business-specific
requirements (such as the inclusion of customer fields as part
of flexible reporting).
DOCUMENT SPLITTING
Document splitting is an appropriate tool for determining
missing account assignments according to cause in common
accounting processes in SAP software (invoices, payments, or
clearing). For each financial-account document, document
splitting applies account-assignment information to nonassigned
accounts according to assignment rules set in the
customizing area. Take the example of a vendor invoice. You
can assign profit centers to expense accounts manually, derive
the assignment automatically, or make the assignment using a
substitute cost center. Document splitting places these profit
centers in the payables accounts of the invoice document.
This function can help you create balance sheets for entities
that extend beyond the scope of the company code. Typical
examples include balance sheets at the segment or profitcenter
level or balance sheets based on company-specific or
industry-specific entities.
There are also mechanisms to determine all account assignments
outside of document splitting in the delivering component
itself. This determination would include postings from SAP
human capital management or materials management software.
The document-splitting function is based on the following
model. Accounting documents contain accounts with assignments,
such as revenues or expenses. Such accounts provide
dependent accounts (accounts payables, accounts receivables,
and taxes, for example) with account assignments based on
context (such as invoice or payment). The model is processoriented:
account assignments from original processes are
projected into the subsequent processes, thereby enabling
account assignments according to cause in the subsequent
processes. Document-splitting information is built at two
technical points: document creation and the accounting
interface.
Document Splitting at Document Creation
A typical example of this instance is the clearing transaction
during which cash discount and realized exchange rate differences
are split according to source. (That is, according to the
proportions of the account assignments in the expense or
revenue lines of the original document, such as an invoice.)
What is special here is the specific reference to the original
transaction or line item. Controlling functions in the software
are updated accordingly and reconciled with the general-ledger
accounting functions. Another example of item-related document
splitting is foreign-currency valuation of open items. This
function transfers exchange-rate differences to the controlling
software.
Its important to note that the balance-valuation function
has no reference to items or transactions. Here, the dimensionspecific
balance of the account (such as the balance for each
segment) is used as the basic value.
Document Splitting at the Accounting Interface
The software limits itself to splitting general-ledger assignments,
which does not involve any transfer to controlling functions.
From a technical standpoint, this process has two variants.
The first variant is the account-assignment projection, which
results from customized settings. Account assignments are
projected from the base rows to the target rows. To minimize
the effort required for implementation, mySAP ERP provides
a number of preconfigured methods. You can activate only
one method per client. With method 12, the solution delivers
settings that support most standard processes (such as invoice,
payment, or payment on account).
The second variant is inheritance by subsequent processes
of business transactions, such as the clearing of vendor and
customer invoices. With this variant, the solution transfers the
original account assignments of the invoice to the clearing
lines. This variant is a fixed feature in the program and cannot
be altered. After the clearing transaction, the original item
(such as the payables or receivables line) and the clearing item
for the respective account assignment are balanced to zero.

Simple Finance with NewGL document split

Hi Gurus!
With the "S for Hana" appraoch I am wondering if Simple finance includes NewGL Document split combined reporting views?
Will I be able to analyse my line items including FI & CO dimensions before and after GL document split?
In other words, is simple Finance able to give access to BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA? in the same view?
I am also not sure about the reporting tool giving access to these views: I know for sure that Hana live will give this access but would I be able to access these combined views with other reporting tools like ECC querries (SQVI), standard ALV reporting (FAGLL03...)?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards
Pascal

Pascal,
NewGL features available in sfin depends on whether new GL was activated in FICO before the migration to sfin.
If you're migrating from FICO with new GL and document split activated, then the behaviour will be the same in sfin as before.
If you're moving directly from classic GL, there are limitations on the new GL features in sfin: There is no document splitting (to be delivered in the roadmap in Q4) . If you wanted documents split now in sFIN, you would have to migrate first in new GL, activate the document split, and then migrate to sfin.
In sfin v1.0, BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA remain as table. This will however change in v2.0.
In sfin 1.0, there is a logical FICO document, but still 2 physical documents remain. As well, this will evolve in v2.0.
Finally, regarding reporting, some transactions have been replaced by Fiori apps. When this is the case, the transaction is no longer available, and you get a pop up window inviting you to go to the Fiori launchpad. Otherwise, the access to the old transactions remains. With the delivery of the newer versions of sfin, more and more transactions will move to Fiori.
Hope it helps,
Arnaud

Unable to burst a report in 11.1.1.6.2 BP1

Unless you're interested in the Subject line, you may probably disregard this thread. I recreated the data model from scratch, including the bursting definitions, and everything works just fine now. Something screwy in the XML, I suppose.
A bursted report (bursting to file) that has worked perfectly in the past is not working in BP1.
This error is thrown:
Job processor caused exception
[INSTANCE_ID=ms-obi-11g-19.1343489489717] [INSTANCE_JOB_ID=2202]::
Error getting report data

at oracle.xdo.enterpriseScheduler.bursting.BurstingJobProcessor
Bursting to File is the problem. (I'm able to burst to e-mail just fine.)
All criteria are the same as before. The Split By and Deliver By fields are both set to /DATA/CURR_MONTH/REGION, which matches up with the KEY parameter in the Bursting criteria shown here:
select distinct
"Geog"."Region" KEY,
'Blue' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'C:\Bursting' PARAMETER1,
"Geog"."Region" || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
from "BI Pub Class"."Geographies" "Geog"
I've checked all of the obvious stuff (yes, Blue is a template and so forth). Again, it worked perfectly in previous releases, prior to BP1.
Anyone have a guess about what 'Error getting report data' means?
BTW, my bursting to email criteria look like this, and it works:
select distinct
"Geog"."Region" KEY,
"Geog"."Layout" TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1,
'' PARAMETER2,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER3,
'Results for ' || "Geog"."Region" PARAMETER4,
'Here is the body of the e-mail.' PARAMETER5,
'TRUE' PARAMETER6,
'' PARAMETER7
from "BI Pub Class"."Geographies" "Geog"
Edited by: Mark T. on Jul 31, 2012 2:34 PM

Additional information: now the e-mail bursting doesn't work either - same error message. Could 'Error getting report data' indicate some sort of disconnect between BIP and the OBIEE data source? It works fine in the browser, and worked fine for a few minutes.

Meaningful names for report attachments in BIP.

Hi,
I am emailing/ftp'ing few reports from BI Publisher. The report attachments are going out as attchment.xls, attachment.out, attachment.pdf etc. I wouldl like to name these attachements with a meaningful name. Example if Accounts is my report I would like the attachmnet to be sent as Account.pdf, Account.xls etc. Is there a way we could do this? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am using bursting just to get dynamic report name. In the Report UI, I have all the data model, layout defined and I ran it before and got the data. Now since I want to get dynamic report name I went into the Bursting option in the UI. Here it asks me for 'Split by' and 'Deliver by'. I am not sure what do give here. Also the 'Sql Query' box..do I enter any sql here or would it automaticcally take the sql behind my 'Answers' report. I tried ot pick one column for 'Split by' and other column for 'Deliver by'..and I checked the 'enable bursting' check box. When I try to save it it gives me an error "Bursting setting is invali. Please make sure all of Split by, Deliver by, bursting query setting are set properly"
I just have no clue what to do...the documenations do not provide any deatail info. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

BURSTING TO FILE LOCATION

Hi,
i have a requirement to schedule a report to run every morning and then burst the output to a folder location on the network drive.
i followed the user guide and everytime it asks me for a split by & deliver by(this should match the KEY in burstig query) -
ex - if i use deliver by account_id (same as in select account_id KEY.....from table name) the output is being saved on the folder location but its saving separate outputs for each account_id..............i do not want to show the output like this in so many pdf's.....i just want the total output (which i get when i run the report manually) ina single pdf.

The data is split by the "Split By" parameter you are specifying. Set that to a global element that only appears once in your data. Your split by and deliver by values do not have to be the same.

Where to place the test tone.

Is there a preferred channel/track for the sync pop/tone?
I've been working on a small scene that I now have to deliver back as aif slpits/stems, but I think I moved it from it's original place. It used to be on the a dialog track, but I moved it to the Foley/Fx track. Does it really matter much where it is? Or as long as it's there everybody is happy? Should it be on all the splits/stems I deliver?
I'll have 3 splits. One for Dialog, one for Foley/Sfx and the other one a Master Split containing both the dialog and the foley/fx.

Hi Noah, it doesn't really matter what track it is on in your project. But it needs to be on all stems. so what I usually do is put one on a voice track, one on a sfx track, one on a music track.
1Khz at about -20 for 1 frame. When they're all summed it still won't be too loud.
Other thing to watch out for is that there is no reverb or delay send at that point on the track where the pop is - you want it to be dry.
While we're at it, if you are putting line-up tones at the head of a file you really only need 1khz with a digital file, and it should be a -20db unless otherwise requested. *DO NOT put a 0db tone!*

WOW... Fed Ex is EARLY!

My MBP should be here TODAY - rather than Tuesday. I just searched on my tracking number and it's at my local Fed Ex center.
I just received word on Wednesday that it shipped. Seems like Fed Ex is on the ball with my order.

While i dont know what shipment exception means, I did call FedEx to see if their system was messed up. The guy told me what we all already know, they take the packages put them in a big bin, and they catch a plane to the US where they are split up and delivered. I was concerned because the package never had an arrival scan at a FedEx location. He said it was fine, and that they go straight to the airport to be shipped.
Also, thinking back on other posts I've read, it looks liek maybe ours were the beginning of the next bin. other on this post got lucky and got in at the end of one bin but I think ours are at the beginning of another, so they are waiting on it to fill up. Still, I think it shoudl have filled up in the 2 or more days that it's been.

I cannot Split Deliv. Date in Sale Order

Hi expert
Can anyone give some suggestions.
- Sale order is MTO and have production order that generated from sale order but production order was closed by user.
- User create new production order by tcode CO08.
Users want to change Deliv. Date in Sale Order by refer to new production order but cannot change.
I cannot edit and split Deliv. date because date of old production order and ATP check not found new split item.
regards,

Hi, Allen Qiu2010
Thanks for your suggestion, after check at shipping tab than Partial delivery per item is blank.
After change type, i can split new delivery date but it refer to the old prod.ord, which was closed.
Clould you tell me about new item which split delivery?
How to refer between new Deliv.date and prod.ord. that create by CO08?
   - first item of Deliv.date, and confirmed dty. have 40 PC (refer to old prod.ord which was closed)
     ->i checked material on MB52 don't have stock of this sale order . (sale order is make to order)
     -> prod. ord which create by CO08 unfinished process.
Sorry, if i wrong understand.

Split Sales Order Line - by Delivering Plant ?

Hi there,
Does anyone know (config or ABAP) how to split a sales order line for this scenario:
1 Sales Org - SOrgA
3 Plants (PlantA, PLantB & PlantC)
Can fulfill SOrgA sales orders from all 3 plants
No WM
User enters MatA Qty 10 on sales order line item 1.
MatA has qty 5 in plantA and qty5 in PlantB.
System gives Qty 5 to line item 1, reduces qty requested to 5.
Stytem creates new sales order line & gives Qty 5 to new line item 2.
I am essentially trying to fulfill the sales order from multiple plants but so far in R/3 I do not see any way to do this with config. Alternative is to do this manually but business requirement is to automate it.
Any ideas?
Has anyone done something similar with ABAP?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks for your comments Ashutosh,
My strawman schema is currently:
Biz Hours:
Orders created.
Nightly:
[No (minimal) orders being entered so allocation should be a non-issue or very minimal].
Backorder rescheduler job runs
Bespoke job runs to split lines if can fulfill from multiple plants
- it may be FIFO based on a combination of dates such as customer delivery date and delivering plant lead time (will be bespoke)
Delivery Due List runs
Currently our sales order lines have delivering plant (e.g. from customer master, CMIR or material). Against this plant ATP is run, even though the material may also be in another plant. The business issue is that sometimes, for some customers, we want to fulfill the order from a different plant or combination of different plants.
This is not for every order thankfully!

Delivery split,
In b2b they created order wit 4 materials. The order is successfully distributed to R/3 but delivery is split happened why it so?
The 4 materials also from same plant, the ship to party is one and delivery date is also same.
2 delivery documents created in R/3 Why so
Please advice me how it happen

Hi Rami,
Please see the shipping point might be different for other two material.
Check availablity of material also. if they have any different schedule lines.

Sharepoint Foundation 2010 incomming emails not delivered to library

Hello
we run a SharePoint 2010 Foundation server and an Exchange 2010 Mail Server. I want to add incoming-email-support to a SharePoint Library.
I have installed and configured SMTP Server on the local SPF, enabled incomming email support on SharePoint via Central Administration, here I have specified the respective drop Email-Folder. Have added a new send-connector on Exchange in order to forward emails
to the SharePoint SMTP (while SMTP and Sharepoint is the same host)
I also have configured the Email-Settings on the library settings, configured a email-address, allowed to recieve email from any sender via Library Settings / Incomming-Email-Settings. Nevertheless the sender is a AD Member of the same Acrive Direcotry whom
I gave contributor permissons to this site and library. It is a document library.
While I send an Email to the resp. library this one is delivered via Exchagne to the SMTP server, put into the drop folder. From there it disapears very soon, obvioulsy it's beeing picke dup be the Timer Service. But the Email never arrives into the document
library in charge. Actually I have no idea where the emails went without leaving a trace once they have been picked by the timer service from the drop folder of the smtp server. Actually I don't know for sure who pickes up the emails, but I can tell that they
disapear after just a few minutes or secons from this folder where they can be found as .eml for the time beeing.
Any suggestions where to search, where to look into some log-files etc. are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Split valuation: how to close an annual PO

Dear Experts,
We need to change a non-split valuated material to split valuated mode by using the Valuation category 'X'. I have done the required config. and cleared all of the stocks and reservations. Now we have one "annual" purchase order left (line per month) that is partly closed and partly open. I flagged all of the items as completely delivered and invoiced but it still comes to the material Display errors log. Do I need to throw all of the items to the carbage bin or even archive the PO before I can change the Valuation category in the material master?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
If the PO is partially open ensure that the PO order qty is changed to Delivered and invoiced qty and then flag the delivery completed and final invoice indicator and then flag the item for deletion.
Now you try to activate the valuation category.
Usually if we have such requiremnt of activating the material for split valution, always you create a new material and falg the old material for deletion. This will be helpful in the reporting parts also.
You donot have to face all these problems in that case.
Thanks & Regards
Kishore
