Unusual A/R entry

Hi everyone,
I have a unique situation where the customer is paying the invoice by an asset rather than a cheque.When i am trying to post a journal entry it doesn't pay off.How do i proceed.
I would really appreciate if someone call help me.

Jitendra Sali,
I would suggest you escalate this to SAP Support as you wait for an answer from this Forum.

  • Unusual Apache error_log entries

    My Apache error_log (and my wife's) are full of these:
    [Mon Feb 04 13:19:31 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/crls
    [Mon Feb 04 13:19:31 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/crls
    [Mon Feb 04 13:19:31 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/crls
    [Mon Feb 04 13:27:56 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/crls
    [Mon Feb 04 13:27:56 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/crls
    They seem to appear randomly. We've wondered whether it was Safari, Versions or something else causing them, but they appear even when those are quit.
    Sometimes they're a bit different:
    [Fri Aug 17 15:09:05 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/ThawtePremiumServerCA.crl
    or:
    [Thu Aug 23 08:51:07 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/SVRSecureG3.cer
    They've appeared for as long as I can remember (so probably from Snow Leopard onwards) and they drive us a bit crazy!
    It's just one of those things that's always been annoying and it'd be wonderful if someone out there knew what the issue was.
    Many thanks in anticipation!

    Thanks very much for the reply.
    No luck though - those commands didn't seem to do anything.
    One odd thing is that, when I restart Apache, it does take a while before the errors start appearing again.
    They also happen when I'm not using it so it must be something the machine's doing in the background.
    Just noticed I posted this reply using my developer account, hence the different profile name!

  • Ms Access problems with Jdbc Odbc!!!

    Hi again people,
    Im creating a GUI swing project connecting a database (MsAccess) to a dialog using the bridge driver,
    The GUI is coming up but im getting runtime errors and the data does not go to the fields, the dialog and connection are in two files:

    Im really stuck!!! any suggestions? thanks in advance

    Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
    of code,
    Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
    or something I dont have but I checked my database and
    I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
    between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
    be something wrong with how I've entered the database
    in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
    Many thanks
    RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
    String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
    String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
    if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
    column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );

  • Interface test fails during mapping - Resource not found

    Just upgraded from 7.1 SP8 to EHP1 SP3. Testing of the existing interfaces has been successful. I have created a very simple HTTP -> RFC Sync interface to complete the testing. When testing it in the integration builder I get the following message.
    +Unable to find resource 5e0ce8a0-b99a-11de-9eb4-c576ac120353 in the following software component versions: urn:xxxxx.com:PI71com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_ONE_.class-1+
    I've checked cache status overview in the ID and ESB and the updates were successful. I've checked the cache (SXI_CACHE) and the objects are there - correct object ID's. I;ve also performed a full cache refresh and that works. I then recreated the objects under a new SWCV and Namespace and get the same problem. It looks like the mapping object cannot be found.  Checks of SDN and SAP help have mentioned a cache problem but we've ruled that out.
    Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

    I've just noticed something unusual about the entry in SXI_CACHE. Under mapping the type of mapping appears as 'JAVA_JDK'. When you click on the drop down box next to the entry the possible types of mappings are...
    R3_ABAP
    JAVA
    Xi_TRAFO
    XSLT
    RS_XSLT
    I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. I've checked SDN and SAP SUPPORT and I can't find anything.

    Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
    of code,
    Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
    or something I dont have but I checked my database and
    I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
    between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
    be something wrong with how I've entered the database
    in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
    Many thanks

  • Parallel 0 console message on vnc

    Hi,
    While managing an isolated server which has no network connectivity I accidentally press alt+q, then on vnc, then i got this messge that says "parallel 0 console". I could not get out of this message, not pressing alt+f1, alt+f2... alt+F11, etc. As I have not network connectivity to this server, I could not see if the server was still on service, and try to restart it or restar the X server. Is there a way to go out of this parallel 0 console, or disable this key combination?

    That entry is a DNS query from another device on your local network, probably the router, considering the IP address. It is not unusual for a router to frequently poll the other devices on the network like this.

    This is a netbios request coming from another device on your network, and again it's not unusual. These entries are common local network activity.

  • Console message interpretation

    I've seen chatter on the web about this (10.0.1.1:53) but can't seem to find a way to stop it. I think this incessant background activity must be slowing down my Mac. I can use Safari on my iMac 27 to look at a video clip and it constantly stops and starts, download takes forever. If I look up the same clip, through the same WDS in my house but on Apple TV, it flies. Looking at my console log under all messages, I see this constant activity.

  • About Course Submission Form

    I have submitted one course submission form for OCP, but the information which i have provided is having small mistakes, what i can do further. Is there any possible to complete another course form.

    My immediate thoughts, which may be non-optimal, is to leave as is.
    The form you have submitted will be either accepted or rejected .... or if further clarification is required you may be contacted.
    If accepted, all is OK, take no further action.
    If rejected, then obviously submit correct details.
    If they come back nd query then send correct details.
    .... whatever happens this should work okay. Providing you can accept a little delay this is possibly the best course ... this is all standard procedure.
    Your remaining options are to submit an SR or to resubmit the form. Whether these options help or merely complicate or confuse and delay the process (or at worst case give you an unusual certification database entry which at extrmis worst case may test its every more complicated rules) - I cannot say. Unless some suggests better these are my suggestions.

  • Unusual / Unknown DHCP Table Entry

    OK, so was having some issues with wireles printer this evening, still am, but that is a different story.

    Its someone connected to your BTWifi hotspot. Note the IP address which is 10.122.21.114, that is an address issued by BT Wifi.
    Its totally separate from your own network, so its not a security risk.

    This is a clean install using April 01 ISO with minimal or no modifications. I have tried to follow wiki as precisely as possible. I am not sure what I am missing. Thanks.
    EDIT1: Updated and cleaned the post to better reflect current structure and added /etc/fstab.
    EDIT2: @swordfish Removed /boot/EFI/arch.

    I used March ISO instead of April ISO and it worked flawlessly. There is some problem with April ISO where efibootmgr and UEFI Shell1/2 fail with ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (status = device error).
    I have removed both /boot/EFI/boot and /boot/EFI/arch. I now have two entries one on vmlinuz-linux on 1024 Fat 32 partition which works and second one boot/vmlinuz-linux on 20G / partition which fails and takes me to rootfs. Also refind isn't showing UEFI shells that  I have in /boot/EFI/tools/Shells.

    Thanks for suggesting to try older ISO.
    UPDATE:- Most recent ls -R /boot and my refind.conf. Reading over Rod Smith's rEFInd documentation has helped me clean up a little more and set up a good boot manager with automatic kernel detection and shell. I do want to get rid of drivers list that shows itself up along with kernel. Next is to tackle menu entry. Thanks.

  • Can LabVIEW call a DLL built with VS(2005) C++ with /CLR and Without an Entry Point

    My project requires me to convert a C++ program to a DLL and having it called by LabVIEW. Due to the complexity of this C++ program (converted from fortran using f2c -C++ option), it cannot be compiled without using /clr option.  I did build the application standalone (/clr), and it functioned fine.  When I build it into DLL using VS2005, I was forced to use No Entry point option and without using DllMain in the C++ code. Eventually the DLL was built without error.  But after I call it from LabVIEW, I was not getting calculated results as expected.  I added a testing function to the C++ code of the DLL and just try to modify a parameter, it will not, but only return the input numbers.  I was passing data by pointer and not by value, so I expect this parameter output be modified.  I suspect that the DLL didnt get executed at all as it has no entry point specified.
    Am I on the right track to approach this task, or I am heading to totally wrong direction here?   I believe due to the fact that my C++ was from f2c and use vsf2c.lib and so on, the code is managed code, so that a regular DLL cannot be built from it with an entry point. How can LabVIEW call such a DLL? Am I right on that?  I really need your advice here for a right approach to this problem and possible implementation "watch outs"...Thanks!
    Bryan

    Hi...Finally I was able to compile my code with an entry point defined and without using /clr.  I can also call this DLL from LV and got back a variable from a little test function added to the DLL.  But the function that was used for my main application in the DLL crashed LV and I got a pop up box from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime Error! "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way, please contact the application's support team for more information".  In Visual Studio I also got the following message: (I eliminated most of the "No symbols loaded" messages that are not errors but just info.)  I would apprciate if someone can take to look with your more "experienced eyes", many thanks! Bryan.

  • Why are there no BMC discounts on qualifying pieces for 2 ASF entry points?

    I've had no luck whatsoever trying to log a case for support, I can't navigate the already cumbersome SAP Support Portal without getting errors so I thought I would try the forums... this is my first post:
    I have a Standard Automated Letter (rate category regular) Presort, there is nothing unusual about its setup but the results seem to be incorrect: some pieces aren't getting appropriate DBMC discounts.
    About the presort job and the output results:
    u2022 contains all possible BMC & ASF entry points
    u2022 output for all entry points look good EXCEPT for 2 ASFs: ASF-BUFFALO and ASF-OKLAHOMA CITY
    u2022 the Postage Statement shows that all pieces that qualify for those 2 ASFs are not getting the DBMC discount (Entry Rate="None" for those pieces), although based on the ZIP ranges they appear to qualify for the discount
    u2022 I double checked each of these 2 ASFs on USPS's FAST site to verify the ZIP ranges
    other details:
    u2022 currently using Presort Views 7.90c, Revision 3 (with Engine Revision 4)
    u2022 each entry point not getting the discount has 1 Mixed AADC tray (I posted AP.Ctn_Level to the output files for ease of finding this out), however I'm not sure why this would affect any discounts
    u2022 if Mixed AADC trays ARE what's causing the discount to not apply then I believe Presort is not processing these pieces correctly
    As a test to see if the output would be different I changed a setting that I've never had to change before: I reran the presort with the ENTRY POINT TYPE changed (for only the 2 ASFs in question) from ASF to BMC-- the resulting Postage Statement shows almost all pieces in these ASFs (except 34 Mixed AADC pieces in ASF-BUFFALO) are now getting the DBMC discount! This may serve as some sort of workaround but I don't believe the results are 100% correct, the Entry Point Type for ASFs should be set to ASF otherwise the information in the Mail.dat files may cause a problem.
    A couple more things to note just in case they affect anything: the presort is using a Basic Service IMB, and the scheme that these ASFs are qualifying under is Letter Trays on Pallets.
    Is the output from Presort actually incorrect, or is there a setting (something that won't affect the other entry points) that can to be changed so the output will be correct?

  • Lost my Contact Names and Months of New Entries w/ iOS 4 Update--Any Help?

    Hi,
    I updated to iOS4 yesterday and after it was done all my contact names were gone. The numbers were all in there, just no names. I don't use Mobile Me for my contacts.
    Checking my iPhone sync settings on my Mac for some reason "sync contacts" with Address Book was no longer checked in iTunes. It looks like it was that way for some time, which is unusual as that's the method I use to backup my contacts. No idea how that got switched, as I wouldn't have changed that. Don't think MobileMe troubleshooting had me turn it off after a Calendar duplication issue. Wouldn't make sense.
    Also, I don't know why the update to a new OS would make me LOSE ALL my contact names. Why would the update be designed that way and not retain everything?
    Now my computer has an old contact list and I've lost months of new contacts, phone numbers, emails and contact organization. Pretty bummed. Not sure why that box wasn't checked and the phone backup system is absolutely no help at all as, by design, iTunes only saves ONE backup of your phone at a time, and after the operating system updates to iOS4, it immediately and automatically backs up the phone with the new settings, writing over the real backup with the data you might want to return to.
    Restored it from backup today to see if it'd repopulate the names, but no, it went to the backup it took AFTER the iOS4 update. It even erased the new spelling of someone's name that I put into the phone last night!
    Why is this upgrade process designed without more safeties in mind, Apple? Not sure how that happened but clearly grandmothers and others might have a snafu and need to go back to an earlier backup. Can't iTunes backup the last 3 or 5 versions, or just note the differences so getting back lost data is easier? Happened a few years back, an iPhone I was using that went bad, but iTunes backed up the corrupted information in its single backup so that the last few weeks of entries, etc., got lost. Any way to get wireless syncing of the phone in the future like with Time Capsule or something, indexing at least a few multiple backups by date or something?
    Clearly all the names were on the phone in their entirety immediately before the update, but then poof! Anything I can do about it now? Any ideas, folks?
    Thanks.

    Try a hard reset right now and see if they disappear.
    Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for 10 seconds until you see white Apple logo on the screen. Wait for the phone to restart and see if the contacts are fixed.

  • HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.
