What exact lock boxes

Hi,
Lockbox is a payment mechanism designed for easy collection and better cash management.
This is a service offered by banks to companies in which the company receives payments by mail to a post office box and the bank picks up the payments several times a day, deposits them into the company's account, and notifies the company of the deposit. This enables the company to put the money to work as soon as it's received, but the amounts must be large in order for the value obtained to exceed the cost of the service.

Following activities, you store the specifications for the lockbox procedure. This procedure is used to process incoming payment transactions (normally checks) in the USA. The Lockbox program will process a file of payment transactions from the bank, create general ledger posting for cash received and clear Accounts Receivable open items.

Lock box facility

hi experts,i want to know about:what is lock box facility?can any body tell me the configation steps for that

hi
Using of lock box
Lockbox is a process provided by a bank where the customer remits his payment to a PO Box at your bank, the bank deposits the check in your account and enters the remittance data from the customer. Then the bank sends the data to you electronically for you to import and apply in SAP-AR.
The structure that the bank uses is usually one of two formats. BAI will provide you the customer information and the check amount but no invoice remittance data. Usually cheaper and works well for a business where customers are paying only one invoice at a time.
BAI-2 offers remittance data but the bank charges more for the service because they have to enter more info.
Look at structures FLB** to see the transfer data.
When the bank sends the customer payment data you use Treasury function FLB2 to import and then process the payments. This process attempts to determine where to apply the payment and will post directly against an invoice, an account to a customer or if it can't even determine the customer it posts into a clearing account (configured) to be resolved.

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do? I think it works in the Security Mechanism of Java as a Byte Code Verifier (or atleast as a part of the Byte Code Verifier)..
Your thoughts please..?

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?It's a concept. It means that the executed code (of applets, Webstart apps) has restricted access rights to System resources. So if it tries anything evil, it won't be able to.

My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock. What exactly does that do? Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

The remote lock locks the iphone with a passcode that you set. By remote wiping the device it will simply restore it and clear it of all its data, but by doing this it will prevent you tracking it and communicating with it (e.g. remote locking it) in the future

In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this?

In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this? I have a windows 7 install disk, but I don't know what this means.

If you already have Windows on a DVD or USB drive, you don't have to tick that option. That's only for people who have Windows on a ISO file and have to burn it into a USB drive

What exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock

Can someone explain in simple words (with example if possible) what exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock?
I have gone through documentation & other links,but just not able to figure out the exact & clear difference between these three..
Cheers,
Kunwar

In addition to links provided by Sb and nice explanations by Aman, i would like to add below :
1.Latches and enqueues are lightweight serialization devices used to coordinate multi-user access to
shared data structures, objects and files.
Latches are locks that are held for extremely short periods of time, for example the time it takes to modify
an in-memory data structure. They are used to protect certain memory structures, such as the database
block buffer cache or the library cache in the shared pool (as described in Chapter 2, Architecture). Latches
are typically requested internally in a ‘willing to wait’ mode. This means that if the latch is not available,
the requesting session will sleep for a short period of time and retry the operation later. Other latches may
be requested in an ‘immediate’ mode, meaning that the process will go do something else rather than sit
and wait for the latch to become available. Since many requestors may be waiting for a latch at the same
time, you may see some processes waiting longer than others. Latches are assigned rather randomly, based
on the ‘luck of the draw’, if you will. Whichever session asks for a latch right after it was released will get it.
There is no line of latch waiters, just a ‘mob’ of waiters constantly retrying.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like ‘test and set’ for operating on latches. Since the instructions to set
and free latches are atomic, the operating system itself guarantees that only one process gets it. Since it
is only one instruction, it can be quite fast. Latches are held for short periods of time and provide a
mechanism for clean-up in case a latch holder ‘dies’ abnormally while holding it. This cleaning up
process would be performed by PMON.
Enqueues are another, more sophisticated, serialization device, used when updating rows in a database
table, fro example. They differ from latches in that they allow the requestor to ‘queue up’ and wait for
the resource. With a latch request, the requestor is told right away whether they got the latch or not.
With an enqueue, the requestor will be blocked until they actually attain it. As such, they are not as fast
as a latch can be, but they do provided functionality over and above that which a latch can offer.
Enqueues may be obtained at various levels, so you can have many ‘share’ locks and locks with various
degrees of ‘shareability’.

Lock Box Reason Code.

Hi Experts,
I am getting one issue in lock box, If Suppose customer has invoice of $ 1000, he is eligible for discount of $ 50 so he should pay net amount $ 950. But customer is paying full amount without knowing that he is eligible for discount i.e $ 1000. so system is crediting back $ 50 to the customer(returning back the $ 50 to customer).
In this case i want system should accept amount $1000 and system should not credit $ 50 to customer(system should not pay back to customer $ 50), instead of this system should transfer the balance to GL account by using the reason code.
Note : we are using BAI2 format for lockbox.
Please be advised what should i do in this case if i want to accept the full amount from the customer without doing the credit to him and i want to transfer the amount to GL account by using reason code in BAI2 format.
Regards,
Sam.

Yes you can.
Customer and User tolerance limits, payment advice tolerance limits and reason codes
When an incoming cash payment does not exactly pay the referenced open item(s), then the system will not be able to perform clearing without creating residual items back on the account - except when you establish tolerance limits to allow posting with a write-off of acceptable payment difference amounts.
Reason code settings are used for description and reporting purposes, generation of specific customer correspondence letters (automatic system generation whenever this reason code is assigned to a document), and difference item write-off/dispute status assignment.

Lock Box - item not getting cleared

Hi,
I m testing the lockbox process with the lock box file available online.
I could be able to import the file and document got created. But i have some doubts, please try to reply for the same.
1) payment advice got generated but the customer open item is still not cleared? do we need to process that further? the check status is applied and G/L document got posted.
2) I think we can also process lock box posting through Idoc, what is the process flow? would you pease eloberate on this IDOC process for lockbox.
3) I am not able to understand the posting done (without clearing the customer open item). Both debit and credit posted to a bank account. would you please eloberate the posting done while lockbox processing?
Please let me know if more information required.
Regards,

Hi,
If you are able to load the lockbox file then customer items shall be cleared. Please check the posting rule config and clearing accounts maintained for lockbox.
Thanks,
Sachin

What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

Hi there all.
Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
It's all Unix to me ;0)

I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
So I stopped.
But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

Real Estate Lock Box Key

I have owned three Palms and now on my 4th.
The very first one,second one and third was able to be integrated with the software/programming to be installed into my phone for the ability to open realtor lock boxes. ALL Palms have infrared so once installed at my local board of realtors I am good to go and I simply access the program on my Palm point the phone at the lock box and it opens... among other functions but this is the one most used.
Now I have just purchased a new Palm Pre and ONCE AGAIN I am told by GE Security that the NEW Palm will not function as a lockbox because of it's operating system. IS THIS TRUE ARE ARE THEY TELLING ME THE SAME THING THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF EITHER SOMETHING BETWEEN THE TWO COMPANIES IS LACKING IN GETTING THE PRODUCT READY OR IS IT TRUE THIS NEW PRE WILL NEVER BE COMPATIBLE FOR LOCK BOX KEY USAGE?
Need help... don't think this is a question for tech support in India!

Currently, realtors can use Blackberries to access supra lockboxes by using bluetooth technology and a fob which converts the bluetooth signal to an infrared signal. Will we soon have this capability with Palm Pre? I want to upgrade from my Palm Centro to the Palm Pre Plus, but may have to go with a Blackberry instead. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
This post desribes the situation well: https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=364&view=previous
Consider this another request to enable the Pre for compatibility with the GE Supra eKey. For years Realtors have utilized the Treos as their Smartphone of choice due to its ability to unlock the lockboxes that hold the keys to the homes we show. Currently no such application is available for the Pre because the SDK stifles access to the Bluetooth interface that is needed to communicate with the lockboxes. Here is what the eKey people say regarding the issue:
"Unfortunately at this time support for the Palm Pre is not possible. The Palm Pre is the first device to use Palm's new "WebOS", and the Software Development Kit (or SDK) available at this time does not include adequate access to the Bluetooth interface on the phone. Because of this, and because the Palm Pre does not have an infrared port on it, we will not be able to certify it as an eKEY device. Hopefully in a future version of the SDK, the required Bluetooth Access will be made available to our programmers so that we can support this device."
Just about every Realtor I know uses a Palm phone, but now people who want to update and upgrade their phones are jumping ship to Blackberry due to this single issue. I'm sure that I don't have to remind you that Brand Loyalty is incredibly hard to earn, and everyday that the Pre does not have this function you will lose valuable customers and an entire niche of users.
I know that I am not the first to make this plea, but of all the research I have done, I have yet to find a response or even an acknowledgment from Palm. Please advise.

So what exactly do u do with a mac mini?

Hey All,
So, what exactly are you supposed to do with a mac mini ? Im pretty much of a straight up PC guy (although that may change as I played around with my nikon d50 and some macs last year and liked the results of my photos), but a friend has a mac mini set up in his living room that from what I see he uses more or less as jukebox. Is the mac mini just a multi media device, or can it do more advnaced things like working with digital photos, (i,e, photoshop), etc.
Thanks

Yeah, it fooled me allright (thats an understatement), I really had no idea what to make of it, was it a computer, just a media machine, etc....I dont follow the latest technology at all, so when I saw my friends mac mini hooked up to his tv/monitor, and able to access all his movie and media files in addition to surfing the internet, I was pretty dumbfounded that all that could be done with such a little box. I suppose I could also do all that with my Dell PC also, but I like the small footprint of the mac mini.
Anyway, just ordered the 2 gig mini with 2 gigs of RAM, hopefully it will work out ok for me. All I really want to use it for is to load my music and DVD collection on there, surf the web, and do some digital photoediting...Im not that much of a gamer, so its lack of ability on that regard doesnt bother me.
Im actually kind of looking forward to getting a mac again, the Dell PC and Dell laptop I have are only about two years old, but they are slow as heck due to spyware and other nasties....
By the way, I did have a chance to check out some imacs last fall, Im not sure if it was me or not, but macs sure do seem to display graphics better than PC's (at least my PC anyway)...

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, and how exactly do I use it

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, and how exactly do I use it?

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, andI have only seen one previous use of ThreadLocal objects and it was somewhere on http://www.javaworld.com on a solution to the Java double-checked locking problem.
Roughly speaking, previously to Java1.2 you had two variable-type choices in Java. The first is a static variable that is the same across ALL instances of a class. The second was an instance variable, that is can be different in EVERY instance of a class. Java 1.2 introduced the ThreadLocal variable-type. If a variable type is ThreadLocal, then every running Thread may see a different value for the variable - essentially it is a Map of Threads to values.
InheritableThreadLocal is finely different from ThreadLocal. They are almost identical excepting that if one Thread is spawned from another (ie. it is a "child" thread) then the value of the InheritableThreadLocal variable will be the same in the child Thread as the parent Thread.
As to when it could be used, I'm not so sure (other than the no-brainer "when you want a variable to have different values in different Threads"). I'd be interested to hear about any instances where someone has used a variable such as this.
how exactly do I use it?Carefully
