Using Items for direct labour

I sell direct labour (service engineers etc) both as time & material jobs and as fixed priced jobs. As SAP B1 does not have any job costing my work around is to set each engineer as an Item master and book the number of hours worked on any job as you would if selling widgets i.e 5 hours work/5widgets sold.
I use 'sold only items (with no cost) for my fixed price sales and by posting, say, 5 hours to the sales order I at least get a sales invoice which shows gross profit after deducting 5 X item cost/hourly cost from the 'sales only' item.
It gets a lot more detailed with me having to journal the payroll and match it against all the items of labour I've posted but hopefully you get the idea.
What I'd like to know is there any one else out there that uses direct labour and needs to reflect their cost and sales value, gross profit etc and balance it back to the actual oayrol costs etc
Any help woulld again be gratefully appretiated and even bribey comes to mind. LOL

Martin,
As far as I know standard system functionality only allows for standards to be setup to track labor costs. If you want specific employee costs (actuals from payroll) you would need an ISV product. I don't know of any manufacturing add-ons that give this functionality but Enprise and Navigator's Project One give you this functionality for project-based companies.

Using itouch for directions

Just was wondering what are the possible ways to use the ipod touch for directions? I am completely aware of the google maps feature on the touch in which you can look up road directions while connected to a wi-fi network. However, once you have these directions, can you still look at them once actually on the road? I find it that the maps won't load when I'm on the road most likely because of not being connected to a wi-fi network. Does anybody know of any way to look at these maps and your directions while "NOT" connected to a wi-fi network? If not, what are some suggestions that people use the itouch for for directions while on the road? On a slight different note, is there any way one could connect an external gps to the itouch and then look at the maps? Sorry if these are rather stupid questions but just wanted to know the best possible way to look at directions while on the road. Just ind it irritating to look at directions while I'm connected to a wifi network only to have them without the maps once disconnected. Any thought/suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.

If you actually use the directions feature, the different steps of the trip will be saved on the iPod, although only with a very small portion of the map around each turn. If you go 20 miles on one road, that portion will not be saved.
You can try this by searching for a route and then switching off WiFi and see what happens.
Hope this helps.

Item availability for selected items and directly create the delivery

Hi All,
For a very big sales order ..lets say having 700 line items ...is there any convenient way to create the delivery for selected items ..e.g. 30-40 line items rather going and selecting the line items then doing the item availability.
do you have any LSMW format by which we can do the item availability for selected items and directly create the delivery.
kindly Guide me..
With Regards

Hi ,
There is no stand way of doing it . You need to take help of abaper to do this :
1. Create a t code where if you give sale order number , it displays a report with all the items with a check box near to it as we see in SE16 .
2. This report could be best in ALV form where users can do "ctr+f" and search only the required materials then select those lines and press a button on the top of report .
3. Once the button is pressed , program will run vL01n ( create delv in backgrnd) in a BDC form . At time of delev creating , the bdc program in backgrnd uses only those items which were selected by user and not the other items .
4. Program will create a delv using a BDC in background and return the delv number for user to view tht.
U can also try using FM : RV_DELIVERY_CREATE to create delv in backgrnd after user selection if BDC is getting tricky.
Hopefully ,this shuld work and will be a easy process for the customers.
Let us know the outcome .. .

Hope this Helps !!!

Procure item for inventory in Shopping cart as Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
When i procure a an item for inventory click u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D and then the system would not ask for an account assignment,
1.) where i can do this setting
2.) the actual problem am facing is "SC is created but PO goes to status Saved and when i see PO i can see the error and this is "Backend error : enter account assignment category".
Please let me know on this....i hope this will also be a great learning for me towards a journey of become masters in SRM like all of you
Smriti

yes. for order as direct account assignment folder disappear.
Ordering a direct material means ordering a product that will be received into stock.
You have to press the Order as Direct Material button in the item detail view.
Selecting Order as Direct Material replaces the goods recipient with the plant you
are ordering for and removes the Account Assignment information. The plants and
storage locations are defined in the organizational structure in the extended attributes
Locations and Storage Locations. After ordering the material as a direct material, you
cannot change back to indirect; so, in case of a mistake, you have to delete this item.
If you have a valid and definite source of supply, such as a contract, this will be used.
Items without a source of supply will have to be completed by the purchaser in
sourcing transaction or in the worklist of incomplete purchase orders. The complete
purchase order will then be replicated to the back end system. Changes to the purchase
order is only possible in Enterprise Buyer, which is the leading system for this process.
Any changes made in Enterprise Buyer are transferred to the back end.

Unable to create publication item for remote database using db link

The mobile repository is in instance A.
I have to access and sync data from a table in remote database instance B.
I have run the consolidator_rmt.sql script in instance B under schema_B. I have created a private fixed user db link in instance A under schema_A to access schema_B's tables. I then created a synonym test_B for table test_B in schema_B using the DB link.
While creating publication item for test_B using MDW, the column list for test_B appears blank. Has anyone encountered this problem and what is the solution.
Thanks for your help.

Using Item UIDRef, can we get data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item

Hi all,
I have a Item UIDRef but facing a problem for getting data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item.
What I did:
- Getting the pointer "IMainItemTOPData" using item UIDRef as
InterfacePtr<IMainItemTOPData> mainItemTOPData(shapesUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
- This interface has the method GetTOPOptionData () which return ITOPOptionsData pointer
- But SDK don't have "ITOPOptionsData" class implementation.
Second Approch:
- Used "ITextOnPathSelectionSuite" and getting the correct result for Desktop plugin.But I want the correct result in server plugin also.
Anyone who has an idea how to get this using UIDRef, please let me know.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

How to use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for deleting / changing sub-items?

I'm trying to use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for BOM create / change / delete.
Issue: This Function module is not working when I'm trying to delete / change sub-items of a BOM. I'm getting update termination (ABAP/4 processor: SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC) during BOM post.
Is there a way to fix this?
(1) BOM creation part is working fine
(2) BOM item (without any sub-item change) change / delete is also working

hi
The following parameter are important parameter and mandatory
Matnr ; Enter the material Number
BOM_USAGE : Ther many BOM available that is sales BOM and Production BOM etc here you need to mention usage of BOM that is for sales or production
I_STKO : Enter the BOM Header information . Note : Ask your Functional consultand
Apart form this parameter, all are optional so do worry
