Tell me about external digital tuners

I have a Sony Bravia digital TV.
I have a Magnavox DVD/VCR combo.
The DVD doesn't have a digital tuner.
I only have an antenna (no cable)
I've been told that I can buy an external ATSC receiver, but don't really know what to buy.
Also...is this tuner different from a converter box? Will it only allow 1 channel at a time or will I be able to watch 1 channel while recording on another?
Thanks for any help.

Storing off-site is not the primary purpose, but if you enable iCloud your documents can be stored on Apple's servers as well.
You enable it in the System Preferences >iCloud.  Just enable the checkboxes for the things you want to be stored in iCloud, like contacts, calendars, mail, documents & data.
If you enable "Documents&Data" in the iCloud preferences, you will see the option "iCloud" when you open documents or save documents.You can then create new documents in iCloud or save documents there, if the application you are using supports iCloud.

  • Can someone help me understand how I can use cable cards with external digital tuners?

    Here's my situation.  I currently have a PC with an internal TV tuner card.  I connect the internal TV tuner card to a standard QIP2500-2 Set Top Box.  I've never been very happy with this setup, although it mostly works.  But,  I can only record or watch one channel at a time.  In addition, changing channels requires a silly IR blaster so changing channels from Windows Media Center uses the IR remote signals to change channels on the set top box.
    I was thinking I could use a product like this together with a cable card from Verizon, eliminating the set top box.  I read the FAQ here but I am still unclear about how cablecards work and what capabilities they enable.  My questions are:
    1) The FAQ says using a cablecard eliminates the use of the online TV guide.  How then does one schedule recordings in windows media center?  It would seem silly to have to still have a STB just to get the program guide.  What do others do about this?
    2) Are the cable cards provided by Verizon compatible with the above product shown in the link?  The Verizon FAQ says the device must be marked "DCR" to be compatible, but looking at all the digital tuner products at NewEgg, none of them seem to be marked with "DCR".  They say, "m-CARD".
    3) What are others out there doing to utilize FIOS TV with a computer and not have a set top box?
    Thanks for any insight!

    I haven't used the SiliconDust product, but I have been using a similar product by Ceton, for nearly five years.
    By inserting a CableCARD into the tuner, you would have access to the same channels as a set-top box. You rent a cableCARD from Verizon, just like you'd rent a set-top box from them. I have an m-card, which just allows multiple channels to be tuned at once, unlike the older s-card.
    You do, however, lose Pay Per View and on-demand programming. For me, it's not a great loss.
    The program guide is handled through Windows Media Center, which holds programming data for the next 14 days. You schedule your recordings there. It's also smart enough to reschedule shows, if there's a recording conflict (too many scheduled shows, not enough tuners)
    Although you can contunue to use an IR blaster (I use one), you can also get a Media Center companion app from Ceton. It doesn't require a Ceton tuner...it will still control Media Center. The app costs a few bucks, but it's worth it. They make it for Android and Apple, and maybe Windows Phone. It will let you manage your schedules, and use your phone/tablet as a remote control over WiFi.
    Buy a big hard drive to hold your scheduled recordings. Expect to use an average of 10-15 gigabytes per hour of HD recording. The beauty of this system, is that you can just add another hard drive whenever you need more space, sonething the STB's won't let you do.
    For service in other rooms, use an Xbox360 if you have one. Or, buy a Ceton Echo extender (again, doesn't require a Ceton tuner). Don't use Wi-Fi for your extenders. Wired Ethernet is a must...most wireless won't be able to keep up.
    Hope this helps.

  • Difference if connecting to external digital receicer via mono to RCA cable and coaxial ca

    Please tell the difference if connecting from Audigy 2 ZS to external digital receicer via (/8 inch) mono to RCA cable and coaxial cable (from front panel with SPDIF out/in).
    Where can i get this /8 inch mono to RCA cable? I dont find it listed in the accessories of creative website.
    Thanks

    There is absolutely no difference as far as sound quality goes, as both are digital connections. You can buy a minijack-to-RCA cable at radio shack or any similar store. Just ask for a cable to connect an iPod to a home stereo; this is the same adaptor that you need.

    u can check the below the material also
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

    Bdc to Bapi
    The steps to be followed are :
    1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
    [for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
    2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
    2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
    -> Importing structures.
    eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
    -> Tables parameters:
    eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
    Note :
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
    Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
    U = change
    D = delete
    I = add
    Example
    1. Delete the whole order
    2. Delete order items
    3. Change the order
    4. Change the configuration
    Notes
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
    For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
    Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
    Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
    Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
    my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
    You need to have com4abap.exe
    If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
    else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
    after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
    for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
    Invoke NEW DCOM session
    call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'

    Hi mahesh.. the follwoing notes are very useful to u ...
    Relationship to Finance
    Finance in Logistics
    Finance in Logistics - A look from Materials Management
    The purpose of this document is to explore the relationship materials management has with accounting in SAP. We will take three swipes at this relationship. First, at an overview level, we will consider a materials management workflow scenario. Next, we will dig deeper as we create documents to support that scenario, and consider the account postings made. Finally, we will consider configuration, and show how SAP automatically posted to various accounts.
    A Materials Management Workflow Scenario
    Let’s consider the following map :
    Starting from the top box, we see that a purchase requisition is created. This can be entered manually (as in the case if a secretary wants to order office supplies), or automatically via MRP (through Materials Requirements Planning, where material requirements are generated based on satisfying customer orders, production lines, and other needs). A purchase requisition would contain information about :
    1. What is being requisitioned? material / service
    2. How much? quantity
    3. When is it needed? delivery date
    4. Where will it be delivered? plant, storage location
    5. How will it be used? item category
    6. How will it be paid for? account assignment category - this may also state how the material/service will be used, as the account assignment may be a sales or production order(for example).
    A P.Req. may have to go through a release procedure in order to be converted into a purchase order. At this point, suffice it to say that SAP has ensured that employees do not get to acquire materials just because they have nice smiles.
    Next, it is up to purchasing to determine a vendor for this requisition. In SAP, the purchasing department has several options : source lists, purchasing info records (material-vendor records), quota arrangements, and vendor master records. A vendor may also be selected based on price quotations attained by the purchasing department.
    A purchase order may now be created. Note : in the standard configuration, a purchase requisition is not required in order to create a purchase order. The same information entered in the purchase requisition is entered in a purchase order (note items 1 through 6), plus a purchase order would have a specified vendor.
    Purchase order follow-up depends on the purchasing organization. In some organizations, confirmation of a received PO is required. The confirmation could then be a signal to the receiving dock to expect goods on a certain date. Follow-up might include further negotiation, such as price, quantity, or delivery date changes.
    A goods receipt for the purchase order is now entered. In the standard configuration, a goods receipt does not require a PO, or any other type of order. With valuated materials, a goods receipt will now cause an account entry. This account entry will typically be against a stock (or production/sales order) account and a clearing account. More about this later. Note that to the side, goods issues and transfer postings are shown. These are also functions of a warehouse, and both can cause account postings. It is important to understand which goods movements will affect accounting and how.
    Often an invoice will be received with the goods shipment, but it can be received independently. Invoice verification is the process of determining whether an invoice matches what was received. In SAP, invoices can be entered either from materials management or from the accounts payable side. Most of us would hold that it is up to A/P to enter the invoice, but who better to verify the invoice against the goods shipment and quality than MM? This issue is up to the company and project team installing SAP. The account entries made upon invoice receipt will typically be against the clearing account posted when the goods received and the vendor’s account (indicating that the vendor should be paid). The invoice may be blocked for payment for various reasons (e.g.invoiced too early, wrong quantity), but even blocked invoices can cause account postings in SAP.
    The invoice can now be paid. Invoice payment is done by A/P, outside of MM. This is done by means of payment programs where A/P clerks have the ability to select which vendors to pay, the means of payment, and whether or not to block payment (based on subsequent QI, or poor relations with the vendor). The account postings for payment are typically against the vendor’s account (signifying that payment is being received) and against cash (or a bank account).
    The Documents
    The purpose of this section is to show account postings which relate to documents created from materials management. This will include the creation of the following documents :
    1. Purchase requisition
    2. Purchase order
    3. Goods receipt
    4. Vendor invoice
    Note that RFQs and quotations will not be considered. This is because neither of these documents has an account assignment category. Their only relevance to accounting is that they specify a material (and thus a material type), and the quotation specifies a vendor and a price. With no account assignment category, however, there is no specification as to who will pay for the ultimate purchase.
    The purchase requisition
    The purchase requisition is created through transaction ME51 (Log > MM > Purch > Req. > Create). As mentioned, the following are determined in a purchase requisition :
    1. What is being requisitioned? material / service
    2. How much? quantity
    3. When is it needed? delivery date
    4. Where will it be delivered? plant, storage location
    5. How will it be used? item category
    6. How will it be paid for? account assignment category - this may also state how the material/service will be used, as the account assignment may be a sales or production order(for example).
    This is shown on the following screen :
    As mentioned, neither the vendor, nor the material price is specified in the requisition. A vendor can be specified in a requisition which has been "allocated", but that’s a separate story.
    The purchase requisition has no direct account postings. When a purchase order is created with reference to the requisition, the account assignment (category) and the material items are carried over. As of 2.2, the account assignment can be changed when the requisition is converted to a PO, but not the account assignment category. (You can change the account assignment from one cost center to another, but not from a cost center to a sales order -- different account assignment categories).
    The purchase order
    A purchase order can be created for a known vendor with the transaction code ME21 (accessed by Log>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Create>Vendor known). An un-allocated (no vendor previously selected) purchase requisition might then be referenced. Alternatively, a purchase order can be created with reference to an allocated requisition using transaction code ME58 (Log>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Create>via requisition).
    As mentioned, the purchase order has the same entries as a requisition, plus item prices and a specified vendor. A sample purchase order is shown :
    The purchase order has no direct account postings. However, account postings from goods receipts and invoices made against PO’s are very much affected by accounts designated in the PO’s. As of 2.2, a purchase order’s account assignment can be changed as long as no goods have been received against the PO, and no invoice has been posted against it. (Thus, if no GR or invoice has been posted against a PO, the account assignment can be changed from one cost center to another, but not from a cost center to a sales order -- just like with requisitions).
    The goods receipt (for a purchase order)
    A goods receipt for a purchase order is created using transaction code MB01 (Log> MM>Inventory Management>Goods movement>Goods receipt>For purchase order). A movement type can then be selected via the menu bar, or using the list of possible entries. In SAP, every goods movement has a "movement type". The three headings of goods movements in SAP are good receipts, goods issues and transfer postings. Most goods movements will cause account postings. More will be said about that later.
    With every goods movement (or transfer posting) in SAP, a material document is created. For every goods movement which affects a G/L account, an accounting document will be created (separate, but tied, to the material document). Material documents are not deleted, but they can be canceled or reversed. Thus, if a good receipt was posted with the wrong storage location and the wrong quantity, the receipt could be canceled. The cancellation will create a new material document (and probably an accounting document which will contain reverse debit/credit entries to what were entered in the first accounting document). Note, that if a goods receipt is entered for twenty-five pieces of a material, and only twenty pieces were actually received, a reversal could be entered. This reversal would be for five pieces. It would also have a material document, and the associated accounting document would have reverse debit/credit postings for the value of the five easy pieces.
    The following is a goods receipt for the purchase order created in the last picture :
    The movement type is one of the most important entries in materials management. It controls how account postings are made (as we will see), and it is very easy to overlook, as it is only a three-digit identifier. After several materials movements, one becomes familiar with common movement types (e.g. 101 - goods receipt of a PO, 201 - goods issue for a sales order, 561 - initial stock entry, and so on). The movement type will control the account postings with the aid of other parameters (such as the material type and the account assignment category).
    The accounting view of the above transaction is shown in the following view :
    Using the movement type (101), SAP’s automatic account assignment was able to determine that a debit should be made to the cost center’s account (which was specified on the purchase order), and the GR/IR clearing account should be credited. With automatic account assignment, the proper accounts with their respective "posting keys" were specified. Posting keys determine whether debits or credits are made against given accounts. More will be said about posting keys later.
    The invoice (for a purchase order)
    Invoices on the materials management side of SAP are entered via transaction code MRHR (Log>MM>Invoice verification>Document entry>Enter invoice). One could also enter credit memos in materials management (via a similar path to that just shown), as well as subsequent debits/credits against previous entries. As mentioned, these are usually entries made by accounts payable (A/P) clerks, but SAP allows its customers the option of entering this information in MM.
    In SAP, invoices are not posted unless total debits and credits balance. New in 2.2, preliminary posted invoices can be made for invoices. In such a case, the proper PO to register the invoice against is unknown, therefore an A/P clerk can enter the invoice information, and "park" the document. Note that in "parked" invoices, no account postings are made.
    Invoices can be blocked for payment because tolerances are exceeded. For example, the invoice date is much before the expected receiving date stated on a PO, thus date tolerance has been violated (it wouldn’t be the first time a date was violated). Similarly, an invoice can be entered for a quantity greater than that which was received. Here the quantity tolerance has been violated. In SAP, even though an invoice is blocked for payment, account postings are made.
    With goods movements, a material document is always created, and an associated accounting document is created when G/L accounts are affected. With invoices, one accounting document is created. An itemized listing of an invoice entered with reference to the PO created for this document is shown :
    The accounts referenced in the above picture are not posted to until the invoice document has been saved. The "accounting view" of the above saved document is shown :
    The accounting view of the invoice reflects what the item view showed, but note that the account entries could not be made unless the invoice balanced.
    Also shown in the picture are tax codes. Tax codes can be created with a simple valuated entry (which would be manually maintained by A/P, purchasing, and system administrators). Tax codes can also be maintained via an external interface. In the US, tax codes are defined by :
    1. the jurisdictional laws of the place to which the goods are shipped,
    2. the material type of the goods being shipped, and
    3. the taxability of the entity (customer) receiving the goods.
    There are more than 50,000 different tax jurisdiction areas in the US (as they are defined by state, county, city, zip codes, etc.). External tax systems (such as AVP or Vertex) maintain the taxation rates for these jurisdictional areas. In 2.2, modifications have been created to interface external tax systems. In 3.0, this interface will be standard.
    The account entries described in this section are shown in the following "T" account entries.
    With the goods receipt, the debit to the cost center account (which could be the cost center’s stock account) represents an increase in on-hand stock, while the credit to the GR/IR clearing account represents an outstanding invoice approval process.
    With the invoice receipt, the invoice is verified that, in fact, the goods were received, and were of acceptable quality. This invoice entry creates a debit to the GR/IR clearing account (to balance the account), and a credit to the vendor account. A credit to vendor account signifies that in order to make the account balance, the vendor must be paid (debit the vendor account). Note that if the received goods were of sub-standard quality, payment could be blocked at this point by either not entering the invoice, or (more likely), the invoice would be entered, but blocked for payment. (Invoice verification is considered the third link of "three-way matching" -- the matching of the PO, GR and invoice. The invoice verifies the purchase order price and specifications, and that the goods in the PO were received and of appropriate quality)
    The payment of the invoice is the final link in the workflow chain. The vendor is paid (account debited), and cash is decreased (credited). In SAP, maintenance of vendor payment is outside of materials management, but with an integrated system, it is coordinated.
    Automatic Account Assignments in Materials Management
    Consideration of automatic account assignments in MM will be approached in two steps, according to the accounting documents created in the last section. First, we will pursue the account postings made by goods movements, then we will consider account postings made by invoice entries.
    Account postings through goods movements
    Let’s start from the basics. As mentioned, with each goods movement there can be an associated account posting. Where are these account postings maintained? A good place to first look is table 156s. This is accessed by table maintenance (SM31), entering "T156S", and hitting either the "Maintain" or "Display" button. The following table is then presented :
    This table shows configuration information based on all the movement types (hundreds) in SAP. For our discussion on account postings, we do not need to concern ourselves now about the entries in the column and to the right of "SLoc".
    From the fields shown, a quantity string and value string are determined. Note, that it is the combination of all the appropriate fields which makes this determination. The quantity string determines which quantity fields are updated (through a sequence of instructions), and the value string determines which account posting keys will be signaled (also through a sequence of instructions). Therefore, in order to determine which quantity string and value string are to be referenced for each goods movement, the significant fields of table 156S are now defined from left to right, the following fields have the following meaning :
    Movement type - the three digit code associated with a goods movement. It must be specified with every goods movement.
    Value update indicator - every material type is designated as to whether or not the material value is updated during goods movements. Thus, the value update indicator signifies if the account posting can affect the material account.
    Quantity update indicator - every material type is also designated as to whether or not material quantities are to be updated during goods movements. Note that the the material type’s quantity update indicator and value update indicator must match a line entry in order to use the associated quantity and value strings.
    Special stock indicator - this field indicates who owns the material and who gets the material. For example, the indicator might be blank (" "), where the stock is taken by the user in their plant. The indicator might be "K" (for consignment), where the vendor owns the material, but the stock is taken into the user’s plant.
    Movement indicator - This specifies the type of order the goods movement might be against. For example, the movement could be with reference to a purchase order, a delivery note, or with no reference.
    Receipt indicator - This field is currently not used. In the future, it is expected that specification will be possible to determine if this movement was for a stock transport order or an outside purchase order
    Consumption posting indicator - this field is used in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, and is defined from the account assignment category in the PO. Thus, in our previous example, the account assignment of "K" (for cost center) in the purchase order ensured that the receipt debited the cost center’s account, and not the stock account.
    So with the right combination of these seven (actually six) entries, we determine quantity and value strings. The quantity string is handled very similarly to the value string. Quantity strings are maintained in table 156M (accessed via SM31 and display/maintain "T156M"). In the last picture, the quantity string for the top entry is ME02. In table 156M, the quantity string indicates if orders are to be updated and other relevant quantity information. This table will not be analyzed here.
    Value strings are handled in table 156W (accessed via SM31 with display/maintain "T156W"). The value string for the top entry in the last picture was WE06. Table 156W is shown :
    The value string WE06 has two entries. These entries have different transaction/event keys (also called account keys). The transaction/event (t/e) keys specify the type of account to be posted to. These transaction/event keys are found in table 030. Thus, WE06 specifies that t/e key KBS will be referenced first, followed by key WRX. Let’s look at table 030 (accessed through SM31, display/maintain "T030", and select group RMK; OR via the menu path Tools > Cust. > Config > Acc. > Fin. Acc. > Book. > Bus. trans. > Gen. Ledger > MM > Auto posting).
    Paging down through this table we see that KBS signifies an account specified in a purchase order, and WRX signifies a GR/IR clearing account. If we double-click on (or choose) KBS, we are brought to the following screen :
    So how do we know which posting key to take? Is this a debit or a credit? We look to table 156 (a.k.a. "T156) in SM31.
    For movement type 101, we see that the first entry is "S" under D/C. This signifies that the first entry is to be a debit, thus the first t/e key (KBS in this case) is a debit. Therefore, we look to posting key 81.
    Note the line "posting keys are independent of chart of accounts" in the screen for key KBS. Let’s look at where posting keys are configured in transaction OB41 (in table TBSL through SM31, or via the menu path Tools > Cust > Config > Acc > Fin Acctg > Book > Bus trans > G/L > Control > Posting keys).
    Posting key 81 shows a debit to a G/L account. Let’s look into this...(double-click or choose posting key 81)
    We see that this key causes a debit to the specified G/L account. Thus, an account was specified in the PO (since 101 was a GR for a PO), and by finding the value string in table 156S, then the appropriate transaction/event keys in table 156W, and then by digging into the t/e keys in table 030, we were able to determine the appropriate account postings. So that told us about the debit made, but what about WRX? Let’s also look inside t/e key WRX in table 030 (we first must specify the chart of accounts, in this case CAUS) :
    Here we see different postings, a valuation grouping code, an account modifier and a valuation class. Since the account modifier is not shown in this screen, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, let’s look into the valuation grouping code. This is found in table 001K through SM31 (also available in transaction OMWD; Tools > Cust > Config > Log > MM > Val/Acc.assign > Config > Acct. det. > Val. area grouping).
    .From this screen, we see that the valuation grouping code is used to group different valuation areas and/or different company codes together within a chart of accounts so that they have similar postings. So we understand the valuation grouping code, now how about that valuation class? That’s attained from the accounting view of the material master (for that specific valuation area).
    For this material, the valuation class of 3000 is chosen. When this field is drilled into, we see that for this raw material, the system knew that only certain valuation classes were allowed. How did the system know which valuation classes were allowed for this material? It knew because when this material was created, a material type was chosen. Now on to material type configuration. This can be accessed via transaction code OMS2 (T>C>C>L>MM>Master data > material > control data > material type > click on change or display), select "ROH" (for raw materials), then click on the "account assignment" button. This shows the possible valuation classes assigned to the material types.
    So for this raw material, the valuation class chosen was 3000. Therefore, back in table 030, for the t/e key WRX, using the valuation grouping code found in table 001K and the valuation class for the material (found in the material master), we can determine the GR/IR clearing account entry.
    While we’re in the material type screen, let’s look at one other thing -- quantity/value updating. From the last picture, click on the button labeled "quantity/value". The following screen appears :
    Note that to restrict quantity or value updating of this material type, the button "in no valuation area" under the headings of quantity or value updating would be selected. Thus, FOR EACH MATERIAL TYPE, THIS IS WHERE WE DETERMINE IF THERE IS QUANTITY OR VALUE UPDATING.
    Back to our example from II.3 (a goods receipt for a purchase order)
    So guess what! With what we’ve covered in this section we’re ready to track down how our goods receipt posting in the last section happened as it did! Let’s consider what we know about the goods movement :
    1. It is a goods receipt for a PO -- movement type 101.
    2. The PO had an account assignment category of "K", for a cost center and therefore is an item set for consumption.
    3. The material used was a raw material with a valuation class of 3000.
    4. For raw materials, there is both quantity and value updating.
    5. It is "standard stock" item (no special stock type)
    So lets look to table 156S ==>
    We are looking for the entry which is the third from the top. It meets all the criteria. Therefore, we are looking to value string WE06 for answers WE06 is found in table 156W.
    As we said about this screen, WE06 has only two t/e keys. We determined the account posting for KBS in the following way :
    1. We found KBS in table 030
    2. Under KBS, we saw that two posting keys were there, one for a debit, one for a credit
    3. In table 156, we found that the first entry is a debit, thus we select posting key 81
    4. Next we looked to table TBSL (in transaction code OB41), and chose posting key 81
    5. There we saw that posting key 81 causes a debit to a prespecified G/L account (the cost center account specified on the purchase order)
    We also determined the account posting for WRX in the following way :
    1. We found WRX in table 030
    2. Under WRX, we saw that we saw that we needed to specify a valuation grouping code and a valuation class in order to determine the proper GR/IR clearing account.
    3. In table 001K, we saw that for our valuation area (US01) and our company code (US01), we have the valuation grouping code US01.
    4. From the accounting view of our material master, we saw that our material has a valuation class of 3000 for the plant we are operating in (US01).
    Therefore, in table 030, with a valuation grouping code of US01 and a valuation class of 3000, we have the GR/IR clearing account as account number 191100. This is shown in the accounting document created for the goods receipt.
    A small change to the purchase order...
    We said that a purchase order creates no direct account postings. However, they very much affect account postings for subsequent documents! In the purchase order of section II.2, what if we had chosen the account assignment category as being ‘standard’? Let’s look again at table 156S.
    In this case, we choose the top entry -- goods receipt for a PO, where there is no consumption specified. We are thus given the value string WE01. Let’s look to table 156W.
    Here we have 12 different posting keys! Note that there should always be more than one posting key for a goods movement because there should always be at least one debit and at least one credit. We saw that for movement type 101 (in table 156), the first entry is a debit. Thus, let’s look to table 030 to see what a debit under posting key BSX does.
    Again we see the valuation grouping code US01 and valuation class 3000, we have account 300000. This is exactly what we find with this goods receipt ==>
    Offsetting entries for inventory postings (Key GBB)
    One last point about automatic account assignments from materials movements.
    One of the t/e keys definable for a value string is GBB. This is a key often associated with goods issues, but can be used whenever offsets are required for inventory. This key is maintained in table 156X, which is shown :
    As we determined the quantity and value strings from table 156S, here we not only can find the value string, but also the account modifier. If we look in table 030, we see the t/e key GBB. When we choose that key, we find the following view :
    Where in the t/e key screens of BSX and WRX we only had to know the valuation grouping code and the valuation class, here we also need the account modifier. This screen shows that a goods movement which has a valuation grouping code of US01, a valuation class of 7900 (commonly used for semi-finished goods), and an account modifier of AUF would have debit and credit postings made to account 895000.
    An Easier Way...
    To review, we recommend a way of determining account postings from goods movement documents :
    1. Check table T156S for the appropriate movement type
    2. Find the appropriate movement type and value string in table T156S based on :
    a. if the material type is quantity and/or value updated
    b. if the item has a special stock type
    c. what type of movement is occurring
    d. what type of account assignment the item might have (consumption, sales order,
    e. stock account, etc.)
    3. Based on the value string, check table T156W for the sequence of t/e keys accessed
    4. Check table T156 to determine if the sequence from T156W begins with a debit or a credit
    5. Check table 030 to see the possible postings for each of the t/e keys
    a. for the t/e keys which have simple entries of posting keys (as with KBS), look to table TBSL to see what account this posting key affects
    b. for the t/e keys which have a valuation grouping code, account modifier, and a valuation class specification, find the account by the following :
    • look to table 001K to find the valuation grouping code based on the appropriate valuation area and company code
    • look to table T156X if an account modifier must be checked
    • look to the accounting view in the material master to find the appropriate valuation class
    To check the account postings, use transaction code OMWB (accessed via the path Tools > Cust > Config > Log > MM > Val/Acc.assign > Config > Acct determ > Auto posting > Simulate). Hit cancel (in 2.2) to get to the next screen, then hit the "Simulation" button choose a plant, material and a movement type, and hit the "Account assignment" button.
    This is one way to check the configuration without creating all of the documents.
    Postings from invoices
    Account postings made by invoices are much easier to understand, but harder to examine, than goods movement account postings. With invoices and credit memos, there is an associated document type (note the initial screen of an invoice)
    However, we can look at the posting keys for invoices we can expect to be affected. These are maintained with transaction code (accessed via the path : Tools > Cust > Config > Acctg > Fin Acctg > Book > Bus trans > Base params > Control > Posting keys). We are brought to the following screen :
    We see that posting key 31 is an invoice in which we credit a vendor. Let’s choose this key (or double-click on it).
    We see that this is a credit to a vendor account. We also see that posting key 31 has a reverse posting key of 22. The previous screen showed that this is a reverse invoice receipt (different from a credit memo). A note about vendors -- in purchasing, vendors can be created with regard to purchasing, or centrally. If a vendor is created with regard to purchasing only, the vendor will not have accounting information maintained. Thus, the vendor would not bill in the SAP system. This is not to say that the vendor will not bill (we should be so lucky), just that it is not done in the SAP system. This might be for SAP users who are using an external system for accounting (or A/P only).
    When a vendor is created, it is designated with an account group. The main functions of a vendor account group are :
    1. to designate if the vendor is a one-time vendor
    2. to specify the number range the vendor might be assigned to (to assign a vendor name)
    3. to maintain screen control for vendor maintenance
    Vendor account groups are maintained in transaction OBD3 (Tools > Cust > Config > Acctg > FI Acctg > Book > Master Recs > A/P > Control > Acct groups). If we choose LIFA (general vendors), we see the following :
    The screen shows that the number range for LIFA is "XX" (transaction XKN1 shows this to signify external number assignment). The screen also shows that this is not a one-time vendor. If we double click on "Company code data", and double-click on "account management" in the next screen, we see how accounting fields for this vendor are maintained in the vendor master record.
    If an invoice is created with reference to a purchase order, the account postings are already specified, as checking is done as to whether the goods have been received. Note that in creating an invoice, it is not necessary that an A/P clerk reference a PO (although it is advisable if known). If a PO is not reference, the A/P clerk must manually maintain account entries. These account entries have associated posting keys. For example, a freight charge might have a posting key of 50. This account can be seen in table 030. Likewise, unplanned delivery costs can be charged against the group receiving the goods.
    During invoice entry, alternative account entries can be entered, either as debits or credits. Thus, account determination is made as the invoice is entered.
    Postings from purchasing documents
    One last note...
    You may find that some account postings happen when referencing purchasing documents, and there is no reference to these postings in table T156S. For example, freight charges. They can be specified in a PO, but how does a goods receipt know to take the PO’s freight charge over to the account posting?
    First, let’s remember where freight postings are made in a purchase order. In the pricing condition record (note a special condition type) :
    So the condition record of the screen shown has a condition type of FRA1, a percentage freight charge. Purchasing condition types are tied to account postings through PURCHASING configuration. Thus if we look into transaction M/08, yes with a "/" (Tools > Cust. > Config > Log > MM > Purch. > Functs. > Conds. > Pricing > Pricing Proc. > Pricing Proc.), we see the following screen :
    If we now double-click on RM0000 (the first pricing procedure), page down to find FRA1, hit the "change view" button, we find the following screen :
    Here we see that condition type FRA1 is tied to account key FR1. If we now look in table T030, double-click on "RMK" (MM postings), and double-click on FR1, we see that (in CAUS, for example), these freight postings are made to account number 192100.
    Give me points if u fit so...

  • Who can tell me about his forms2adf experience?

    Hello!
    Why is forms2adf not part of the evaluation version? This makes no sense to me. It is hard for me to convince my chef, to buy a software and I can't even tell him, if we will need it or not. All the reports and demos on forms2adf look very nice, but I have to see how it works with our forms implementations.
    What exactly is happening when forms2adf does the conversion? Did I understand it correct that forms2adf does the following things.
    1. Create jsp pages based on the forms canvas
    2. Create the ADF task flows
    3. Create the ADF Datacontrols Model
    4. Create the ADF BC EO, VO and AppModule
    5. Copy all the plsql code from forms into the database
    Does anyone have experience with forms2adf and can tell me about his experience?
    Greetings
    Tobi

    Tobi,
    I will get back to you later with a longer reply, there is a lot of "misperception" around forms2adf.
    Regarding the functionality: 1) to 4): correct, 5) not correct, we only copy the PL/SQL code as documentation nodes to the application definition editor.

    ABAP mapping
    ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
    You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.

    XSLT Mapping
    XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.

    Steps required for developing XSLT Mapping
    u2022 Create a source data type and a target data type
    u2022 Create Message types for the source and target data types.
    u2022 Create Message Interfaces includes Inbound Message interface and Outbound Message interface.
    u2022 XSLT Mapping does not require creation of Message mapping, so donu2019t create any Message mapping.
    u2022 Create an .XSL file which converts source data type into target data type.
    u2022 Zip that .xsl file and import it into Integration Repository under Imported Archives.
    u2022 In Interface Mapping choose mapping program as XSL and specify this zip program. (Through search help you will get XSL Mapping programs that you imported under Imported Archives, select your corresponding XSL Program)
    u2022 Test this mapping program by navigating to Test tab.
    By having look at above steps you can easily find out that this mapping is no where different from other mapping programs, here the challenging lies in creating an XSLT file. If you spend couple of minutes in studying XPATH tutorial you would be in ideal position to create an XSL Transformation (.xsl extension).
    If you still find difficulties in generating XSL Transformation, then you can make use of a tool u201CAltova MapForceu201D which will create XSL file for you.
    Steps for creating XSL file using this tool:
    1. Open the Alto MapForce, import the source .xml and .xsd file in it
    2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in MapForce.
    3. These two data files should match with source and target data types in Integration Repository.
    4. Complete the graphical mapping using extensive list of XSLT functions available there.
    5. Save the mapping file.
    6. Click the XSLT tab. You will have the entire xslt logic there.
    7. Copy that content and save it as .xsl file.
    8. Zip above .xsl file and import the same into IR under Imported Archives.
    Hope this clears your doubts
    Thanks

  • Question about external displays.

    Just curious about external display use with the macbook.
    I want to link up using DVI to DVI but I recently read that my external display will only show the same as the macbook display, and that i cant use the macbook display, and the external display as two seperate screens? but i read its possible to do on the macbook pro. Is this correct?

    I don't normally use my macbook with my primary display, but I have tried it out.
    I hooked it up via vga, rather than dvi though.
    It worked fine, but defaulted to mirrored. There is an option in the settings to disable mirroring, and use the macbook as the primary and the external as the secondary.
    I haven't found any way to swap them, and have the macbook as the secondary display.
    The management of the screens was pretty cool though. You can drag and drop the screens so their relative position is set up how you want it (over/under, left/right, etc).
    hope that this helps...

         minimize the amount of programming required, it often makes sense to use logical databases when generating reports. Reports are special programs that provide selection screens and access databases.  The logical database PNP consists of the database driver SAPDBPNP and is activated using the report attributes. It fulfils three main functions:
         Data retrieval:
    HR data is written for each employee to the main memory, where it can be processed.
         Screening: A selection screen enables you to select employees in accordance with organizational criteria. For example, you can select all of the hourly wage earners of a particular personnel subarea.
         Authorization check: The implicit authorization check is another advantage of the logical database. Personnel data is frequently confidential and it does not make sense to allow all programs carry out the authorization check.

  • What can the file path tell me about a photo?

    I am a Police Detective.  I used a Cellebrite UFED to dump an Iphone 4.  I am interested in a few images on the phone.  I'm curious what the file path can tell me about the image. I also noticed that there are two versions of each image, an original and another duplicate photo.  Here are the paths of the original photos -
    1. "Path: /PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/"
    2. "Path: /PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/"
    Here are the paths of the dupplicate photos -
    1. "Path: /PhotoData/Thumbnails/V2/PhotoStreamsData/1322802356/101APPLE/IMG_1435"
    2. "Path: /PhotoData/Thumbnails/V2/PhotoStreamsDAta/1322802356/101APPLE/IMG_1436"
    Thanks in advance

    You're not looking at original photos. You're looking at photos streamed to the phone from PhotoStream. They may or may not have been taken on the phone. They may have been taken or saved to another iOS device or to a Mac or PC, or they may have been shared with the owner of the phone.
    The thumbnails are (obviously) thumbnails... small versions of photos scaled to view multiple pictures at once for easy navigation.
    Basically, the information above tells you absolutely nothing of any value at all.

  • Hi can anyone tell me about SAF for  solutiondatabase in icwc

    Hi ,
    Can anyone tell me about how to configure SAF  for the solution database in ICWC.What are the steps required to customize the enterprise intelligence for SAF for useing solution/knowledge  database in CRM.
    Harish rentla

    Hi
    upon setting up SAF in the enterprise intelligence area you need to create the subject profile for the solution database for the maintanence of problems and solutions with the damage code location code and reasons codes and you need to do full indexing for the SDB for problems and solutions after pairing (joining)the 1 problem with one solution. you can access TREXADMIN transaction type for the trex config settings to view the index table status.
    Trex RFC connectivity needs to be established between SAP and CRM systems then only you can use the wizard for the SAF tool to customise
    please do reward points if helpful
