Tracking of Components with multiple make and multiple suppliers

Hi,
We have some purchased components in assembly, for which the make options are provided by design. Then purchasing decides which make component should be bought from which supplier / dealer. We need to track the assembly for this component and its make at each stage.
Is there any way to model this requirement as this is a typical case in electronics industry?

Pritish

Has anyone successfully implemented a drop shipping eCommerce solution with MULTIPLE suppliers?

Hi there
I have read a few BC forum articles on this subject, but none seem to have clarified whether a drop shipping eCommerce solution with MULTIPLE suppliers can truly be implemented successfully in BC.
In particluar, my concern is with splitting up ONE online order with products from MULTIPLE suppliers ... and split up the order into its individual supplier components and thereby calculate freight costs for each of the suppliers i.e. the freight cost should really be calculated for each of the suppliers SEPERATELY and not for the order as a whole.
Forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4881302#4881302 addresses this issue and Liam Dilley [as always] kindly responded. But his response indicates this is not possible with BC.
If this is the case, drop shipping in BC is quite useless unless:
1. you had only one supplier
2. or, you somehow restricted each order placed to products from only one supplier - which I am unsure is even possible even with JQuery
Any feedback from the community would be most appreciated.
Regards
Gavin

You have two requirements:
1. Once ordered, split the order into suppliers, contact the supplier of the product, give the information of the order to the customer. Supplier ships it. This could be done manually but a pain in the ***. I would assume you want it automated.
2. When ordering, multiple products require mutliple shipping rates. As the shipping from location could be different for each product you can't just use the ship from one location option.
Solutions:
1. This is the easier one, you record the supplier in the product via a form or in the product item itself. If you wanted to automate here you could via API, if you wanted to do it manually you also could.
2. Shipping calulator, to make things easier you would have to do everything by weight. Use Javascript to remove the default shipping option on the checkout page, pass all the items in the shopping cart. Use a lookup table function in Javascript "item name to weight" then have another function item to (from) shipping location. Work out the shipping and display it and force change with Javascript BC's shipping price (so the customer pays the correct amount).
Like Liam says, it's not something BC does too well at the moment and the above solution is more of a workaround but does work.

ATO model with both "Make" and "Buy" options

Hello,
Is it possible that an ATO Model has both "Make" and "Buy" type of options in it. If yes, how does the "Buy" item get fulfilled on the sales order. The buy item needs to ship together with the assembly, but as a separate part.
Or should such a scenario be achieved by having an ATO within a PTO and the buy item as a separate option in the PTO?
Thanks,
Raj

If an item is not made part of the assembly, then you have to choose a PTO.
Something like this
>
PTO
-------- PTO Option Class
---------------Buy1
---------------Buy2
--------ATO Model
--------------ATO option class
---------------------Option1
---------------------Option2
>
Sandeep Gandhi
Edit: For some reason, the BOM format is not rendered correctly in the above post. It appears that the ATO model is a child of PTO option class. That is not the case. The PTO Option Class and the ATO model are at the same level on the PTO bom.

Help with Package Maker and System Image Utility

Hi all....
Im trying to use package maker and System Image utility to create a netinstall image. I dont know if im creating the package wrong, or if it has something to do with siu... but when I install the image from the server only the OS installs... not the packages. The packages just get copied to the HD.
Right now im just working on trying to get office to install with the OS...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...

Just realized that you said the following:
The packages just get copied to the HD.
It sounds like you've made a installer package that's installing the installer packages.
If you simply double click the package you've created and install it, does it do the same thing? If so, then that's what you've done.

MRP FOR INTER COMPANY- WITH 1 RECEIVING AND 3 SUPPLY PLANT

i have the following scenario:
1) i have company 'A' under company code 1000( purchasing plant) and it has 10 depos namely( A1 TO A10).
2) i have another company 'B' under company code 2000( manufacturing plant) .
3) under company code 'B' it has three manufacturing plant namely B1,B2 and B3.
4) Products x,y and Z are produced in all three plants namely B1,B2 and B3.
5) company 'A' receives the forecast for the year and give the requirement for all the three products(X,Y and Z)
to company 'B'
6) Based on the input from company 'A' icompany 'B' produce and sell all the final products(X,Y and Z) to
company 'A'.
7) company 'A ' and 'B' comes under same management and control area.
8) How to map into sap and how the requirement will be transferred from company' A' to 'B' and total stock
available under plants B1,B2 and B3 should be considered for MRP run for final products X,Y and Z.
( currently requirement is passed between executives of two company in the meeting).
9) some times the company 'B' has to deliver the final product to any of the depos( say A3 or A6) which is
situated near plant B1( under company code B) on instruction from company 'A', but the payment is paid only to company 'A' .This is done to avoid transit delay and transportation cost.

Hi Sekar,
MRP can be done only based on the Plant wise.

RegionRenderer encodeAll The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance.

Hi,
I am using JDEV 11.1.2.1.0
I am getting the following error :-
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
Piece of code is for region is:-
   <f:facet name="second">
                                            <af:panelStretchLayout id="pa1"
                                                                   binding="#{backingBeanScope.Assign.pa1}">
                                                <f:facet name="center">
                                                    <af:region value="#{bindings.tfdAssignGraph1.regionModel}" id="r1"

                                                </f:facet>
                                            </af:panelStretchLayout>
                                        </f:facet>
How do I resolve it ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I see at least 3 errors
1. <RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components.
the page fragment should only have a single component under the jsp:root tag. If you see more than one, wrap them in e.g. an af:panelGroupLayout or af:group component
2. SAPFunction.jspx/.xml" has an invalid character ".".
check the document (you can open it in JDeveloper if the customization was a seeded one. Seems that editing this file smething has gone bad
3. The expression "#{bindings..regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "pePanel") evaluated to null.
"pageeditorpanel" does seem to be missing in the PageDef file of the page holding the region

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste. I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file. Does this make sense? Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod. Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances. With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries? We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
What is the best way? I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit. For simplicity sake.
We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
Thoughts?

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

MDS Customization Problem with multiple root components

Hello,
Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0 and WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.5.0
I am using Oracle MDS Customization class with the following classes:
oracle.adf.view.rich.change.MDSDocumentChangeManager
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.change.ChangeManager
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.change.MoveChildComponentChange
Based on these classes I am moving UI components
<af:panelStretchLayout>
<f:facet name="center">
<af:region />
</f:facet>
</af:panelStretchLayout>
into another component thanks to the MDS.
Once I do the movement and persist, I receive the following waning message:
*<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1:0:pt2:r1:0:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.*
When I run the application in Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0, it work fine, but when I deploy it on WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.5.0 it is not working.
I receive the same warning message on the server and in JDeveloper.
I think that MDS makes a copy of the components that I move because of that it says me that "a page fragment with multiple root components"
The problem is not because of duplication any of the tags <af:document> <f:view><f:form> <html> <head> <body>
After the movement and persistence, I also call the FacesContext to reset its view root with the following code:
FacesContext context =FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String currentView = context.getViewRoot().getViewId();
ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot x = vh.createView(context, currentView);
x.setViewId(currentView);
context.setViewRoot(x);
The idea is that the entire JSF tree to be rebuild on entering page with aim to clear previously drag and drop settings.
Do you know how I can overcome the problem on the server WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.5.0?
This worked on Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 and now the problem is with Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0.

Niki

Hi,
what the error means is that you have more than one node under the jsp:root node of the fragment. Say the content of your fragment is
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1">
</af:PanelGrouPLayout>
Then this is okay
if you have
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1">
</af:PanelGrouPLayout>
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2">
</af:PanelGrouPLayout>
or
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1">
</af:PanelGrouPLayout>
<af:commandButton id="cb1"/>
Then these mean duplicated root components. The JDeveloper IDE flags this as Warnings (Structure Window) when selecting the page fragment

Multiple Thumb Slider with Multiple Track Colors

Hi All,
Does any one implemented a Multiple Thumb Slider component with Multiple Track Colors. Please find the screen shot of the component below which I am talking about.
Any ideas or any link or sample source of code given would be highly appreciated.
If I drag any thumb the colored section between any two thumbs should increase or decrease.
Thanks,
Bhasker

Hi,
There is a sort of workaround I made myself. Basically you set up your slider into a canvas container and add new boxes exactly at the position between your thumb buttons, in order to imitate your 'tracks'. Look the image below and notice that the black tracks are in fact VBoxes. For different colors, make each VBox different backgroundColor style.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

      public function changeSliderHandler(event : Event) : void {
         for (var i : int = 0,j : int = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
            var track : VBox = tracks[i] as VBox;
            track.setStyle('left', slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
            track.setStyle('right', slider.width - slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
      public function addTrackHandler(event : Event) : void {
         var track : VBox = new VBox();
         track.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#000000');
         track.width = 0;
         track.height = 2;
         track.setStyle('bottom', '7');
         tracks.push(track);
         canvas.addChild(track);
         slider.values = slider.values.concat(0, 0);
         slider.thumbCount += 2;

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

Trying to create DVD with multiple tracks that automatically goes to a slug

I'm doing a DVD for a live show where video and live performance are going back and forth. I want to make a DVD with multiple tracks that plays a movie and returns to a looping black slug (while the live act is happening). Then when the tech person presses next chapter it goes to the next movie (or chapter). That chapter/movie then returns to a looping black slug at the end of the movie (while the next live act plays) and so on and so on. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I would think one of the easiest ways to do this is make each clip end jump to a black menu with a hidden button on it that links to the next clip. The menu can stay there as long as you like. Instead of pressing the next chapter button, get your tech to press the 'enter' or 'play' button... if there is only one button on each black menu, then this is what will activate. Have each button point to the next clip that you want. Use the title button to get back to a main menu, if you ahve created one for the disc.

Creating a cd with multiple tracks from a multitrack session

I am trying to burn an audio cd with multiple tracks created from a multitrack session. Adobe 3.0 used to make this an easy process. I am only able to burn a cd with a single track regardless of range markers, cd track markers, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and thank you for your reply. I am used to the functionality of audition 3.0. I place tracks from my hard drive into a session (usually 18 or so). I used to add markers, then file>export>multitrack mixdown>entire session. The resulting mixdown used to keep the markers. I am not familiar with how to save each track separately and I place the markers in the file during the session creation but before export>mixdown, etc.
Thanks

Find and replace with multiple files and with a watch folder
