Use of SAP PS for new product price estimation

Hello Experts
My organization is not using SAP PS but we have a process of estimating price before launching new product without creating Material Master in SAP. Is it possible to use SAP PS for price simulation process?
Thanks

We can use Adhoc cost estimate using easy cost planning in sap.
Thanking you

Use old product number for new product.

Dear all,
I have to manage the following case.
From a defined date the engineering releases a new product that will substitute an old product.
The marketing doesnu2019t want to change material number and would you like to use the old product number also for new product.
This solution has a great impact for planning because there is not possible to distinguish the old product stock from new product stock.
Could you help me?
Regards
Flavia Borselli

Hi,
I think one opption is discontinuation that was invited for such cases I thnk. You can set the new part number as the follow-up material of the old one - in this case planning will run smoothly hopefully...
That would mean that they should use new part number but there would be some connection between the new and old one...
Split valuation is another tool to make difference between batches from different origins when the material number is the same. But you wrote batch management is not active...
If you use WM you can store the new & old goods separatly but I wouldn't prefer such solutions...

Techniques for New Product Introduction in Demantra 7.3.0.1

Hi,
In Demantra 7.3.0.1 there are two ways for New Product Introduction:-
1) Demand Planner: Member & chaining management
2) Collaborative Workbench: Create Similar product
Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of each technique.
The new product introduction will be handled by our clients, so I wanted to know if all the required features can be handled by just one method so we can propose that to be used by the client. Or do we need to use both techniques for different scenarios?
As I understand with Chaining one can link one item to many sites at one go, while with CW the similar item is created linked to one particular location.
Also CW allows for adding cannibalization factor which is not accounted for in chaining.
Apart from this it would be really helpful if someone could throw some more light on the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Gaurav,
I personally feel that 'Create Similar product' is a much required improvement over the original way of NPI using Member & Chaining Management.
Also with CW as well, a new and similar item created can also be linked to multiple location, same as Source Item, depending on the filters used in the Worksheet from which the create similar product is invoked.
some of the PROS and CONS of the 2 methods are as follows:
Demand Planner: Member & chaining management
Pros: 1) Can be used to specify the time range for copying the history date.
2) Can be used to specify the Percentage by which the source data needs to be adjusted while copying into the target combination
3) An important feature is that this can be used to do chaining at an aggregated level.
Cons: 1) It takes a long time to setup a New Member, combination and Chaining relationship.
2) High User involvement since user has to perform muliptle tasks and more error prone.
Collaborative Workbench: Create Similar product
Pros: 1) User-friendly
2) Users needs to enter a few datapoints in single form and does not need to navigate through multiple forms/screens
3) Ability to specify Cannibalization parameters as well as Launch dates
4) Good performance.
5) Ongoing Chaining
6) When coupled with features like 'End of Lifecycle date', it provides a complete Business solution
Cons: 1) Can not be used for only performing Chaining.
2) While it can be used to create a New Similar Product, it cannot be used to create a new similar Customer based on an existing item-location combination data. This,though, may not be a very common scenario.
3) Apart from copying other Item attributes, the method also copies the same 'Item Description' level from source to the new similar product, which sometimes can be very confusing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Item - OnHold / Valid - lock for new production orders

Hi
I am looking for a way to lock an item (with its BOM) for new production orders so that users can not add new production orders for this item until it has been unlocked by the responsible person (BOM needs to be checked by the responsible first).
However, it should still be possible to use (issue/receipt) this item in already existing production orders.
It should affect adding of new production orders only.
btw.: is there any difference in effect between OnHold and Valid settings for an item except for its inverted logic regarding the dates to set?
Thanks
Franz

Hi!
It is not possible to do this with ONHOLD or VALID field.
Try to use Stored Procedure or FMS.
If u use SP, write code like Block Adding Production Orders with X Item
If u use FMS, add a new UDF in Prod.Order row level which should be mandatory. Give Y as a Default Value for tht UDF.
Write a FMS like, Check the Current Line Item Code if it is X Item then make the UDF NULL else Default Value. This will block adding Production Order with X Item

Use cached exchange mode for new and existing outlook profiles

Hi, I've noticed a difference in the behavior of this setting in Outlook 2010 vs 2013
In 2010, when the gpo is set, everything is greyed out for the user, but in 2013, the user can change the setting. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this something that MS decided to change or a bug?
I'll attach screenshots of the settings and the end result later.
joeblow

Hi,
à
In 2010, when the gpo is set, everything is greyed out for the user, but in 2013, the user can change the setting.
Based on your description, I understand that “Use Cached Exchange Mode” will gray out in Outlook 2010 when
set "Use Cached Exchange Mode for new and existing Outlook profiles".
However, in Outlook 2013, you will still be able to check “Use Cached Exchange Mode”. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Just my guess, Office 2013 Administrative Templates may be a little difference with Office 2010 Administrative
Templates. On current situation, I suggest that you would post the question in
Office Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
Hope this helps.

When is reserving/preording available for new products?

When is reserving/preording available for new products? Is it annoucnement day or what? I'm planning on getting the iPad 3 as soon as it comes out, or as soon I can.

Nobody here can say for sure - apple will announce on announcement day, and it will be well publicized. In recent years, the iPhone and iPad have not been available for ordering on announcement day, but apple could change that policy at any time.

Re-packaging in Sales Process - Use of Packg Mat. for next production Order

Dear All,
We will combine 7 diferent products under Semi-finished goods ( that means we no need shipping box, shipping box lable for 7 mentioned products) into one shipping box and we call the last one is MMR Compo-packs. Theoretically, we have to produce 7 diferent products before we combine them into the last one. However, some of 7 diferent products have been keeping in stock under finished goods (FGs).
That means they used the shipping box & shipping box label already so that we want to unpack these FGs to make the MMR compo-packs and re-used the shipping box & shipping box label for the next production process order.
So, the question like that can we reverse the shipping box & the shipping box label when we convert the FGs to the semi finished goods in system?
Please guide us on the same. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Maheshaa

Hi,
If in the process of manufacturing and packing the FG you used a production order to consume both the SFG and the box, you could reverse this process by reversing the confirmations/goods movements in the production order (in the case that the orders are still open). This way you get back in stock your SFGs and boxes, just the way you want.
However, if the production orders are closed already, then you need a new production order (special case) to dismantle the FG into SFG and box.

Mario

Questioners, Proposal Document and Estimation for SAP BI for New Client

Hi All,
I currently working SAP BI 7.0, My project Manager provide new assisgnment for me following below
my requirment is I want to Prepare SAP BI Questioners, Proposal Document and Estimation how to prepare this three activities. Beacuse my Organization getting new Cusomer asking this three activities.
Please provide me any one solutions....
ASAP.... please
Thanks in Advance........
Thanks & Regards,
Bharathi

It sounds like you want to ask the client some questions to work out what they want from their BI project.
You have probably been provided with some information about the client and about why they are talking to your company. Use this to choose some specific questions or to try to uncover particular challenges and requirements for that client.
Based on the requirements you believe they have, you should provide a high level project plan - i.e. what activities you would do, a rough indication of timelines, number of resources, etc.
Based on this you can estimate how much the project would cost. The cost side should be validated by the account manager in your company as they may know what sort of project scales they usually take on and what sort of costs they generally find acceptable.

Error Message for new production order type

I have created a new production order type and gone through all the configuration requirements that I'm aware of. In testing this new order type, I get an error message in transacion CO02 when selecting the printer icon. The error is as follows:
No reference document type defined for order type ZRWK
Message no. CO179
ZRWK being the new order type.
I've searched through many posts and found nothing relating to this message. Hopefully someone has encounted this before.
I'm sure I've missed something, but can't pinpoint what it is.
Help is greatly appreciated.

Bob, did you check your print parameters?..Maybe you don't have your sap forms..You can check it with Tx. COPI
The path is Print - Print Settings - Configuration Menu.

Finding Soln. to initialise total number of pages for new production order

Hi Experts,
My internal table has details of Production Order which has to be printed in a smartform. The page numbers has to be initialised i.e both SFSY-PAGEand SFSY-FORMPAGES each time when it prints a new production Order.
Example :
Say Production Order 1 is populating in 4 Pages it should display
1 of 4
2 of 4
3 of 4
4 of 4
and for the 2nd Production Order say it Occupies 2 pages page number should be initialized and displayed as
1 of 2
2 of 2
One solution i found is having the smartform inside a loop and passing details of one production order at a time but i dont want to use it as i might be lead to performance issue.
Kindly suggest me a Solution where i passed my internal table once to the smartform and get the output.

MacOS how to use standard UNIX behavior for new files

Hi,
I have one problem. then i create new files and folders on my Mac, they get group owner from parant. How can i say to OS that it should get group owner for new files from user GID? same as it works on UNIX/Linux?
How it works on Mac:
MacOS:/ napetrov$ mkdir -p /tmp/new_dir
MacOS:/ napetrov$ id
uid=34148(napetrov) gid=45956(users)
MacOS:/ napetrov$ ls -al /tmp/new_dir
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 napetrov wheel 68 Aug 13 19:06 .
drwxrwxrwt 14 root wheel 476 Aug 13 19:06 ..
How it works on linux:
-bash-3.2$ mkdir -p /tmp/new_dir
-bash-3.2$ id
uid=34148(napetrov) gid=45956(users)
-bash-3.2$ ls -al /tmp/new_dir
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 napetrov users 4096 Aug 13 19:01 .

napetrov, there are two varieties of UNIX behavior regarding the group of a newly created file. The first variety, which Linux uses, comes from System V UNIX — where the file is created with the group ID of the creating user. The second variety, which Mac OS X uses, comes from BSD UNIX — where the file is created with the group ID of the directory in which it is located.
In some UNIXes that come with the System V behavior by default, the BSD behavior can be applied to a particular directory by setting the directory‘s “setgid” bit. However, it is rare for a UNIX that comes with the BSD behavior by default to provide a way to allow the System V behavior for a particular user. To my knowledge, Mac OS X does not provide a way to allow the System V behavior for a particular user; thus, I’d recommend the explicit use of chgrp to set the group ID of a newly created file to that of the creating user, if that behavior is what your application needs.

Returning Broken iPod Classic for new Product

I have a defective 30GB iPod classic. I bought a new one, but still have the old one. Will Apple take the old one as part of a trade in for a new product?

As part of a recycling program they will give you 10% off towards the purchase a an iPod at an Apple Store.
Or you can sell it for parts.

Hi,
Yes you can do it.
In Sap Script use:-
/: If Comp code='100'
INCLUDE ZHEX-LOGO100 OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
/:Elseif comp code = '200'
INCLUDE ZHEX-LOGO200 OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
/:Else
