Volume prof

I have just installed a Creative Soundblaster Audigy EAX PCI Card SB0090 in my media centre. It's so much better than the onboard audio. However I would like to be able to fine tune it. I am running the sound through an external power amplifier. The set up gives me a good loud volume at max volume using the microsoft media centre remote but the lowest audible setting makes the sound output still too loud. Is there a way to make the low volume quieter without loosing max volume? Really I want a new volume profile.

The problem is the Microsoft software. The volume level is divided in only 25 steps in
liniar mode by a very stupid man from Microsoft. This means at half volume you have
a atenuation of 6db , in Hi-Fi is usual between 6 to 22 db.
The characteristic of human ear is not liniar.
You could try use Girder (http://www.promixis.com/), is a very complicated software.
A year ago i manage to control volume very good with this software ,
but i return quikly to the big, analog volume on my integrated amplifier.

How to: create a CVP 'cost-volume-profit' Chart in Numbers?

Hello,
I was wondering how I could create the same chart that is in this picture myself? Everything is done, I just don't know how to actually create a chart like this in Numbers?????
Homework problem:
Bloom Company manufactures a single product that sells for $180 per unit and whose total variable costs are $135 per unit. the company’s annual fixed costs are $562,500. (1) Use this information to compute the company’s (a) contribution margin, (b) contribution margin ratio, (c) break-even point in units, and (d) break-even point in dollars of sales. (2) Draw a CVP chart for the company.
(a). Contribution margin per unit = $180 - $135  = $45
(b). Contribution margin ration = $45 / 180 = 25%
(c). Break-even point in units = $562,500 / $45   = 12,500 units
(d). Break-even point in dollars = $562,500 / 25%   = $2,250,000 

I really don't understand where is the problem to do that.
Column A (header one to use it as X axis labels)
0, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000, 25000
Column B
=562500+(A*135)
Column C
=A*180
These formulas are the equations of the two lines.
Select the bloc A2 … C7
Line chart
A bit of customisation and here we are.

Can the iPad download software from the web like the Palm TX can??

Can the iPad download software/applications from the web that you can then upload to your Desktop or Laptop like the Palm TX can? (yes I've got one just for that reason but I'd love to have an Apple branded product)
So far the Apple Store people don't seem to know.
If not, there will be many people won't buy it, me included... And every person that does't buy one is a loss of revenue.
The lack of this key ability is why I haven't bought an iPod or iPhone…
Come on Apple answer our prayers.

YES, exactly.... I do NEED a small light weight device (smaller and cheaper than a Mac laptop) to carry around with me every day to download software to that I can download to use on my home computer.
The Palm TX was such a device that served such purpose... Somewhat over priced for for its small storage capacity and no longer available but a good product idea.
Except for the once a month NEED to download large applications (mostly version updates), I don't really have a NEED for cable broadband @ $49.99 per month ($599.88 per year) or DSL @ $39.99 per month (479.88) per year.
My email, shopping, banking and such only NEEDS dial-up @ $99.00 a year, which is what I have.
The fact people feed their WANTS instead of choosing only to feed their NEEDS is why many people are in debt often over their heads.
I haven't had any built up debt for decades. I try very hard to only take care of my NEEDS and not squander money on things I only WANT but don't really NEED.
I LOVE the Mac OS, it's one of the best OSs out there (priced good too)..... Next to Xerox's "Small Talk" (in-house R&D only) and Unix. But Apple's pricing of computers may drive me to the Dark Side or the Gray Side.. Linux .
And I'm also hoping that USB 3 will be soon on Macs so I don't have to pay the extra freight for Firewire as USB 3 will serve my NEED for faster than USB 2 speeds to the external devices I NEED to use.
One of the Prime Rules of Business is... Volume = Profit (or more profit)

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

Bharathi.

Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center.

As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.
I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.
A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.
Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.
Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation
(A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.
But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management. I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs. Wont' work. Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some
distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc. All good points, now for the out of the park. The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business). The
most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat. Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries.
IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup? File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one
does via exchange? Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make
it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs,
but I really digressed) This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment. So what is the rational business decision? Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may
be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)
SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.
One more note on the STORE. Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store. Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products? I believe the answer here is "NO" So this adds another layer of complexity
and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop" I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?
So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above: "WHY don't you support our business needs"
And remember, people buy to have their needs met..... (IBM Planned Sales Call)
If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.
(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Hard Disk - Mac OS Boot Volume failure

Hello everyone,
My Mac does not boot.
I started having odd problems of clicking on a document and the mac refusing to open its application (tried with PDF, DOCX, even JPG).
When I rebooted I was greeted with a a normal grey screen with apple logo and immediately received a terminal system message:
The message read:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8010bcb7d4): "Process 1 exec of /sbin/launched failed, errno 8"@/SourceCache xnu xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3836
Debugger called: <panic>
Backtrace (CPU 0), Frame : Return Adrress
etc. (please see above image)
After quickly listing these messages it rebooted. Again same thing.
Now this is odd since to my knowledge nothing particular happened that could justify this behaviour - regular apps being used, mac at the desk, no pwer failluers or surges... I even got a brand new disk I installed back in October last year.
I rebooted with option pressed and got the three volumes I expected: Mac OS X, Bootcamp and HD Recovery
Retried Mac OS X (you never know ;-) and nothing changed, same panic screen.
I then rebooted on HD Recovery and run repair on Disk Utility. The S.M.A.R.T status is "Verified" and so I tried to Repair the volume. Can't remember exactly the message but basically something in the lines of "The disk cannot be repaired, backup your data and format it".
The disk change prevented me of having a proper backup (last one done before changing disks - and as you probably will know when changing disks Timemachine does not recognize and proposes reset the backup it has from previous disk).
So I thing I will get the disk out and connect it externally to another mac and backup and format it to later restore.
But wait, how about Bootcamp? I rebooted, pressed option and chose Bootcamp as startup disk and... amazingly it works without a problem (besides seeing Windows 7 on a mac which is still a troublesome image to me ;-) So not all is lost!
So my question: any ideas if I may repair the disk from the apparently fully functional Windows? I started backing up the more recent and important files, but already had troubles with file long names and naming rules (so I will definitely have to backup it later on a Mac OS X environment as external disk).
Any thoughts will be most welcome.
Regards,
-- João

You were right BobRz! :-)
On second thought and still thinking that the drive could be a more likely culprit I decided to take the Mac back to the store where I had bought and installed it so I could profit from the warranty.
They run a quick test (could not figure out which sequence keys but it was something built-in into the OS or Firmware) and they told me the disk was probably not at fault and that I should leave my Mac (chills!) for a more thorough testing.
Although I already had saved all data files not covered by my existing TImemachine backup, I negotiated with them they would do the eventual full backup just in case testing pointed the finger to the disk and left it to - hopefully - come back next day with everything sorted out.
The following day they phoned me and when I presented myself at the counter I had my mac wating for me (I think I saw it smile - I certainly was) alongside with a faulty disk cable which has been replaced! So there you have it, you were 100% on target! :-)
All in all I had a 100€ repair and cable to pay for.
So all is well that ends well!
Thank you very much for your insight Bob.

Profit centers with COPA

Hi,
I have a few doubts about the need of EC-PCA in a project where COPA is being implemented.
The client would like to get info about the profitabilyty of organisation units as well as products, groups of products, clients and so on.
However he is unable to assign materials to only one profit center (which would be production departaments in this case). Different Finished goods, semi finished goods, wares and services can be assigned to more than one production departament. (a material index cannot be assigned to only one PC in this case).
What would u advise me? Should I use EC-PCA but change the PC hierarchy or COPA is enough for these purposes?
Best wishes,
Karol

Dear Karol,
Here the some infirmation is about Profit center related and cost center.hope this infirmation will helps you
You would need check the design of PCA and what the business wants to use PCA for. For example do you want to produce P&L Statements and or Balance Sheets by Profit centers etc.
In terms of the cost center assignment to profit centers, the main use of this is to ensure that all costs posted to a cost center will be simultaneously posted to the assigned Profit center. Now in PCA configuration you have to create a "Dummy Profit Center", the consequence of this is that if a profit center cannot be derived (for example if you do not maintain a profit center in the material master) or from the cost center or a profit center is not entered in a posting, the entry will be automatically posted to the "Dummy" profit center.
In terms of design, we are faced, in certain circumstances when we design PCA along the product lines for example, what to do with certain postings such as bank charges or admin costs, which are not directly attributable to the product line.
One way to treat these, is to Create a "Corporate" or "ADMIN" Profit center and assign all the service cost centers to this Profit center and at month end re-allocate to the Product Line Profit center via Distribution or Assessment for example based on sales volume or fixed amounts or percetntages or SKF's to make the reporting more meaningful
create additional profit centers and assign all admn, IT other than production cost centers to either Common, Admin or Corporate profit centers. Suggest you create following non product cost centers
1) Corporate
2) Admin
3) Product Common
Assign profit centers to cost centers logically
In MM master records assign product related profit centers to RM and FG / SFG material types. This takes care from material accounting point of view in PCA
For transfer of costs collected in Non Product related profit centers proceed as follows
1) Create PCA assessment Cycles
2) At month end allocate these expenses and check cost in non product profit centers is zero.
3) Decide on the allocation basis
4) This ensures that you have PCA wise all P&L items accounted.
5) You can then design PCA wise report painter reports for PCA wise P&L
Hope the above will help you
Prem.

DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

Dear All,
I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
In earlier implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Satellite A355-S6931 Low Sound - Volume Control wheel just spins

I've checked and tried everything I can find or know how to do to get enough volume and nothing works. Everything is set to 100 %. I use headphones (same ones I used with my 5 yo Toshiba). Why does that wheel just spin with no change in volume and no stopping point either way? I have to suspend my Netflix service as I have about 2% sound. Satellite A355-S6931 - 6 weeks old now.

It might as well be broken as it affects absolutely NOTHING no matter how far or how long I turn it in either direction.
I expect this computer to deliver an acceptable degree of sound. I have some hearing loss and use headphones exclusively which have their own volume control. My 6 year old Toshiba laptop would blast my eardrums out with volume if I wasn't careful to keep all controls from the max. Granted, I paid more than double as much for the computer back then and got Win XP-Prof besides. I wasn't looking for a "cheap" computer but expected comparable quality to my former Toshiba, in spite of being stuck with Vista. I could do without MANY of the bells and whistles this thing has for some acceptable SOUND. Seems like a basic provision.
Can I get the sound card replaced for something better?
What about the adapters that sell for about $10 on eBay?
BTW -- the Toshiba DVD Player won't work at all. Using Window Media Player shows the DVD but the sound is totally inaudible. I've had to suspend my Netflix service.

Summarization Profit Center Document

Hi,
I want to summarize accounting documents, CO documents and profit center documents when we posting a SD invoice, because documents have many items.
The transaction to summarize FI documents is OBCY.
The transaction to summarize CO documents is OKBI.
But I do not know the transaction to summarize profit center documents.
For example:
I have a SD invoice with 100 items, each one per material. When I post it and create accounting document, the FI document has 3 items: revenue item, customer item and taxes item, due to values entered in transaction OBCY.
The controlling document has 1 item (cost center), due to values entered in transaction OKBI.
But the profit center document has 100 items, each one per material. So these documents have a high volume data.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thank you in advance and kind regards

Profit Center Segment Change

Hi,
We have been using a segment on a profit center that is incorrect. There have been many postings to the profit center. I realize that I cannot change the segment directly in the master data of the profit center. What is the best way to approach this problem? Do I change the validity period of the existing profit center, create a new profit center with the correct segment and transfer the values?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Creating a new profit center with the correct segment is a good idea, but you will also have the need (I assume) to rectify the segment in the existing postings; else you have to have another means to consolidate the numbers into the correct segment for reporting purposes. The segment from the profit center gets defaulted in the transaction data, but using field status, you should also be able to change the incorrect segment in the existing transaction data (again, volume may be a constraint here!).
Please also see the following helpful messages in this forum on this topic.
