Structure of SOB?

Hi guys,
I have a question about Set of Book problem. Can I have 2 different companies (Company A,Company B) and assign to different set of books (SOB A, SOB B). Here are the structure of the SOB A & SOB B:
SOB A
Currencies: JPY
Calendar: 12 months + adjustment month
Chart of Account: 4 segments (Company,Cost Center,Account, Intercompany)
SOB B
Currencies: EUR
Calendar: 13 months + adjustment month
Chart of Account: 5 segments (Company,Cost Center,Account, Sub-Account, Intercompany)
Can I create 2 different structures for Chart of Account(4 segments for SOB A and 5 segments for SOB B) and assign to 2 different companeis?

R12 GL Set Up

Hi
Here is the scenario: Company is operating in current Version of 11.5.10 and currently in the process of upgradation.
current structure : Multiple SOB,1 Legal Entity, OU and Multiple Inventory Org.
Not in MRC
Question : How does the transactions are carried out for different SOBs,since there is only one OU ?
What is the impact of the current structure on upgradation to R12 ?
How the transactions for will be carried out and transferred to Primary SOB.

1.Are the multiple SOB's that you are referrring to Primary SOB's?
Normally the transaction from you secondary SOB are transferred to your Primary automatically when account for the transactions in your S-SOB.
Otherwise there is always the option of multiple entries if you have more than one Primary.

Reporting Set of Books with different calendar from primary SOB

Hi All,
We are in 11i multi Org.
Our primary SOB is with the calender 'JAN-DEC'.
We have a requirement to create a secondary set of books with a new calendar "APR-MAR" with the same chart of accounts and same functional currency for reporting purposes to our parent company.
I saw multiple documentation on MRC SOB, the calendar in MRC Reporting SOB must be same as Primary SOB.
But, in our case, the currency is same, but the calendar structure has to be different.
I tried to setup 2 new SOB in Test 1. with a different calender but same functional currency 2. same calender but different currency.
When I try to assign them to primary set of books through Assign Reporting Set of Books form, only the 2nd SOB ( same calender but different currency) showed up in the LOV for reporting set of Books.
Can some one shed some light on me to check if it's possible to do so and if yes, then how to setup a new reporting SOB with a different calendar than Primary SOB?
Thanks
Radhika

As far as i know,
If you want different calendar then you should use Secondary Ledger [Not sure if it is available in 11i but this concept is there in R12]
If you only need multiple currencies to support your reporting requirements, use reporting currencies with a primary ledger
Your testing proves the same as well.

Release 12 and new SOB

We are on 11.5.10.2 (with 10gR2 db) with one set of books having 5 segments in COA. We have a utility department (Water and Power) and they will like to make changes to existing COA to meet FERC accounting requirement. This could involve adding two more segments to our existing Chart of Account or adding a new SOB with different chart of account structure. I have heard that in release 12, SOBs are being replaced by ledgers. I have following questions for you all finance gurus –
- Has any body made changes to their COAs to support the FERC accounting (not just reporting) requirements?
-How will release 12 help us with restructuring of COA or addition of new SOB?
-Where can I get the release 12 Release Content Document (RCD) for the GL module?
Thanks for any suggestion or help.

Brandon,

Problems with Natural Account segment while creating new SOB

Hello everybody,
I am testing a new GL SOB implementation in our test Instance. Below are the steps I followed.
1)Created a new calender with 12 periods.
2)Enabled Curriencies.
3)Created a New AFF Structure with 4 segments.
5)Created Value sets for those 4 segments and.
6)Assigned Value sets to the Segments.
7)Created LOV for the Value sets for the segments.
8)Assigned Flexfield Qualifiers for the segments.
segment1-Balance, SEG2-Natural Account, SEG3-Cost Center Accout &SEG-4 NO qualifier.
9)Saved, Froze and Compiled the AFF Structure.
10)Navigated to SETUP, FINANCIALS, BOOKS & DEFINE to create a new SOB.
11)After entering all the details including Calender, COA, Currencies in the Closing Tab when entering the Account details for Retained Earnings, the AFF takes all the values for all the segments except for segment-2 which has been qualified as a Natural segment.
12) I repeated the process by creating a new COA and it wont take the segment values which has been qualified as Natural Account. It gives me an error saying that No Entries Found For List Of Values and I double checked the Value List and Values and they are there.
What am I doing wrong? I badly need some input here.
Thank you.

Hi
1. How many values you have defined in Natural Account Segment Values.
2. Could you please check while defining the Values there is check box called
enabled. Have to checked it. Normally it is checked by default.

How to define common segments across multiple SOB's

We are considering an implementation approach with multiple SOBs for the various entities under the umbrella organization, since each manages itself differently. However, we still need to define a SOB for consolidating the data from the entities. Other than reporting needs, what factors should be considered for determining accounting flexfield segments that are common across the entities, and therefore should be in each SOB? Any other considerations?

Hi Shelia!
This is a broad question. The main thing to keep in mind is that each set of books should have a unique balancing segment value defined for it and defined at the set of books level when defining the accounts in your Set of Books form.
For example, if you have 3 companies that all share the same chart of accounts structure, the Balancing Segment (Company Segment) should be somethig like:
01 for Company 1
02 for Company 2
03 for Company 3
Then, when you define each company's set of books, make sure you use the corresponding segment value for each.
So, the Retained Earning Account would be 01-3500----- for Company 1's set of books and Retained Earnings will be 02-3500 for Company 2's set of books.
If all of you sets of books reside on a single database instance, and they all share the same chart of accounts, you will NOT need to define a separate consolidation set of books. You can create FSG reports to consolidate the data across sets of books on a single instance.

Associate Segment value to SOB Id

How can I associate a Segment value to SOB ID? i,e., I want to know to which set of books id segment1 belongs to? How should I find it out?
Thanks,
SN

If it is enabled as balancing segment qualifier, then you can get that using the logic of which Accounting KFF structure it belongs to and which SOB this Accounting KFF structure is assigned to.
Thanks

How to use one Account dimension for multiple account structures

We are implementing a HFM application to replace two general ledger applications, one being Corporate and the other a new subsidiary. We need to maintain both of the chart of accounts and their unique rollup structures. We are facing the difficulty in attempting to combine the two chart of accounts into one HFM Account Dimension because a few of the subsidiary accounts have the same account numbers but they are meant different things.
Question:
How can we set up two distinct account structures in HFM and also have the subsidiary accounts rolled into the Corporate accounts for consolidation reporting?
Appreciate your help.

Hope this help.

Message: "The database structure has been modified" every time I log to SAP

Hello,
"The database structure has been modified. In order to resume this process, all open windows will be closed". Every time I log to one of my companies in SAP Business One this message appears.
I haven't installed any new addons and made no changes in database structure (and any other user hasn't done any changes), but this message appears always when I log to company for the first time (when I try to log on another user or log to another company there is no message). Can anyone help me with this problem?

Transfer structure

Hi All
i have to create a transfer structure.
in dso and cube i have 27 fields.
but in tranfer structure it is showing 50 fields.
i have to select the 27 fields out of 50 or i have to activate 50 fields in transfer structure.
Thanks & Regards
krishna

Hi,
Basically when creating the transfer structure you need to map the transfer structure fields with the ODS/Cube fields that are present in the communication structure.
You just need to Transfer the fields, that you have identified in Data source to the transfer structure and map the relevant fields in the Transfer structure.
Once the mapping is done. Just activate the Transfer structure.
Most importatnt would be to decide on the mapping between data source and Communication structure fields.
Hope it helps!!!

Loops in arrays or structures

Loops in arrays or structures
I was given a project on html reports and
They have advised me to use Loops in arrays or structures
At this point I am a novice at this html reporting system. I
would like to know how I can use loops in arrays or structures.
How is it beneficial are
1. Structures
2. Arrays
3. loops in for both
for my reports.
Countless thanks in advance

Structures are great if you understand them, they are
basically just arrays organized by keywords rather than index
numbers.
Arrays are very nice, as you can just run through loops to
access each element, as they are all indexed by numbers 0-x.
loops are great to navigate through both. All you have to do
is set an loop to run through x amount of iterations of the array
or structure (where x is the length of the array, or number of
elements in the structure). Loops are great due to the small amount
of code they require.

How do I move photos in a Smart Collection and keep folder structure?

HI there I am on a trial of Lightroom and loving it so far. One seemingly simple task I would like to try out is moving all my RAW files (which are all mixed up with JPGs and PSDs to a new location and keep the current folder structure.
Currently I have files strcutured like this: <main disk>\<year>\<month>\<filename>.cr2 and I would like to move these to <different disk>\<year>\<month>\<filename>.cr2
The Export functions look as if they will put them all in to one big folder? Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

There are several approaches to this problem. You could do this via the Folders panel in LR. You can do just about everything in the Folders panel that you can do in Explorer or Finder. Just create folder and drag and drop.
Another way is to do this outside LR use Explorer (Windows) or FInder (Mac). after you're done then go back into LR and tell LR where to find the moved files. Depending on how many you have this could be a bit tedious.
Another method is to choose the files you want then Export them as a Catalog. When you do this be sure to include the option to export the negatives. Point the new catalog at you other drive. It will recreate the folder structure during the export. Then remove the images from your present catalog. Don't delete from disk just remove. Now import from catalog and choose the newly exported catalog. This time choose the option to add the files without moving them. Once you are sure everything is back and is fine you can use Explorer or Finder to go into your original file structure and delete the files that were moved to the new drive. Be careful to only choose the moved files. If you are separating the RAWs out this should be relatively easy.
I hope that helps!

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.

Can you share FP Controls between different Event Structures

I'm creating a program that will either read real-time data from an VNA on the GPIB bus, or read a saved s2p (Agilent) file and analyze it. The FP consists of 5 graphs, and various controls which handle events like printing, changing filters, or exiting. on the BD I have a case structure controlled by an operator selection pop-up. I tried using the same FP controls in the event structures I have setup in each case, as only one event structure would ever be executing at any given time, but the program doesn't seem to like it ast run-time. I've worked around the issue by creating "duplicate" controls and using the property setting to make them visible/disabled, etc., but the is seriously congesting my BD.
Anyone know a way to share controls with seperate event structures?

It sounds like the root problem is the overall structure of your program. I highly recommend that you check out the Queued Message Handler project template in LabVIEW 2012, that will show you how to utilize a single event structure and pass events to a consumer loop. If you program is too large to consider an architecture change at this stage of the game, then there is a workaround for your problem.
What is most likely happening is that you have the event structures all set to lock the front panel until the event completes. However the case structure that you have wrapped around these event structures is causing all but one of these event structures to be unreachable thus preventing you from handling the event. Again, as I stated above, the "RIGHT WAY" to fix this is to select a better program structure but the "kluge work-around" fix is this: Dynamically register for the value change event on all of the controls you are trying to trap events for. Dynamic events can be deregistered and re-registered at run time. This will allow only the event structure in the active owning case structure to be registered for the events, thus no other event structures will get in your way.
