What is International business Division related bond licences, ARE forms?
Hi Goutam
In International Business, to encourage the exporters, Government of India have introduced various incentive schemes to bring more revenue to country. Listing a few for your information.
<b>1) Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme
</b>
Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme (DEPB Scheme)- The scheme is easy to administer and more transparent. The scheme is similar to Cenvat credit scheme. The exporter gets credit when he exports the goods. The credit is on basis of rates prescribed. This credit can be utilised for payment of customs duty on imported goods.
The objective of the scheme is to neutralise incidence of customs duty on the import content of export product. The neutralisation shall be provided by way of grant of duty credit against the export product.
Exports under DEPB scheme are allowed only when DEPB rate for the concerned export product is finalised.
Under this scheme, exporters will be granted duty credit on the basis of notified entitlement rates. The entitlement rates will be notified by DGFT. The entitlement rates will be a % of FOB. The entitlement rate will be fixed on basis of SION (Standard Input Output Norms) and deemed import content. Value addition achieved in export product will also be taken into account. Supplies made to unit in SEZ are also entitled to DEPB. DEPB is issued only on post-exportation basis. Excise duty paid in cash on inputs will be eligible for brand rate of duty drawback.
<b>2) Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme
</b>
EPCG scheme - Under Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme, a licence holder can import capital goods (i.e. plant, machinery, equipment, components and spare parts of the machinery) at concessional rate of customs duty of 5% and without CVD and special duty. Computer software systems are also eligible. Import of spares of capital goods is permitted, without any limit. Jigs, fixtures, dies, moulds will be allowed to the extent of 100% of CIF value of licence. Spares for existing plant and machinery can also be imported. Second hand capital goods upto 10 year old can also be imported under EPCG scheme.
EPCG authorisation is issued with validity period of 24 months
<b>3) Advance License</b>
An advance licence is granted for the import of inputs without payment of basic customs duty. Such licences shall be issued in accordance with the policy and procedure in force on the date of issue of the licence and shall be subject to the fulfillment of a time-bound export obligation, and value addition as maybe specified. Advance licences maybe either value based or quantity based.
As per the latest amendments to the EXIM Policy, the facility of Back to Back Inland Letter of Credit has been introduced, to enable an Advance Licence holder to source his inputs from domestic suppliers.
Value based advance license
Under a value based advance licence, any of the inputs specified in the licence maybe imported within the total CIF value indicated for those inputs, except inputs specified as sensitive items.
Under a value based advance licence, both the quantity and the FOB value of the exports to be achieved shall be specified. It shall be obligatory on the part of the licence holder to achieve both the quantity and FOB value of the exports specified in the licence.
<b>4) Drawback
</b>
Drawback is allowable if any manufacture, process or any operation is carried out in India [section 75(1) of Customs Act]. Thus, drawback is available not only on manufacture, but also on processing and job work, where goods may not change its identity and no manufacture has taken place.
Type of Drawback Rates All Industry Drawback rates are fixed by Directorate of Drawback, Dept. of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India, Jeevan Deep, Parliament Street, New Delhi - 110 001. The rates are periodically revised - normally on 1st June every year. Data from industry is collected for this purpose. The types of rates are as follows :
<b>All Industry Rate</b> - This rate is fixed under rule 3 of Drawback Rules by considering average quantity and value of each class of inputs imported or manufactured in India. Average amount of duties paid is considered. These rates are fixed for broad categories of products. The rates include drawback on packing materials. Normally, the rates are revised every year from 1st June, i.e. after considering the impact of budget, which is presented in February every year. All Industry drawback rate is not fixed if the rate is less than 1% of FOB Value, unless the drawback claim per shipment exceeds Rs 500.
The AIR (All Industry Rate) is usually fixed as % of FOB price of export products. However, in respect of many export products, duty drawback cap (ceiling) has been prescribed, so that even if an exporter gets high price, his duty drawback eligibility does not go above the ceiling prescribed.
<b>Brand Rate</b> - It is possible to fix All Industry Rate only for some standard products. It cannot be fixed for special type of products. In such cases, brand rate is fixed under rule 6. The manufacturer has to submit application with all details to Commissioner, Central Excise. Such application must be made within 60 days of export. This period can be extended by Central Government by further 30 days. Further extension can be granted even upto one year in if delay was due to abnormal situations as explained in MF(DR) circular No. 82/98-Cus dated 29-10-1998.
<b>Special Brand Rate</b> - All Industry rate is fixed on average basis. Thus, a particular manufacturer may find that the actual duty paid on inputs is higher than All Industry Rate fixed for his product. In such case, he can apply under rule 7 of Drawback Rules for fixation of Special Brand Rate, within 30 days from export. The conditions of eligibility are (a) the all Industry rate fixed should be less than 80% of the duties paid by him (b) rate should not be less than 1% of FOB value of product except when amount of drawback per shipment is more than Rs. 500 (c) export value is not less than the value of imported material used in them - i.e. there should not be negative value addition.
<b>5) ARE Forms
</b>
Any goods manufactured in India and exported, means the rebate of duty or tax, as the case may be, chargeable on any imported materials or excisable materials used or taxable services used as input services in the manufacture of such goods. To account all these transactions, Central Excise have asked the manufacturers to submit various forms depending upon their business. ARE form is mainly used for exports for claiming excise duty either by Letter of Undertaking, Bond or Rebate.
Last but not least, unfortunately, in SAP, but for excise, none of the issues are addressed.
Hope this information would suffice. Reward if this helps you.
Thanks

Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

SAP PP-What is BAPI & how it relates with PP-module
What is BAPI & how it relates with PP-module
hi
SAP has introduced object-oriented technology by making SAP processes and data available in the form of SAP business objects.
External applications can access SAP business objects through standardized, platform-independent interfaces - die Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs). The SAP Business Objects and their BAPIs provide an open, object-oriented view of the business processes and data in an SAP System.
This guide provides an overview of the SAP business objects, SAP interface types, and their BAPIs as well as the Business Object Repository where business objects and BAPIs are defined and stored.

Limit the number of Business Partner relations in BP Master data
Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to limit the number of business partner relations to 2 at BP Master Data.For example for a BP X, there cant be more than 2 contact persons. So in the relationship tab they should not be able to add more than 2 contact persons. I know we can do this partner processing in sales transactions, but not sure we can implement the same in BP Master Data.
Thanks a Lot in advance for your replies,
Krishna.Hi,
You can achieve this by customizing. Go to Transaction BUBA. Double click on you relationship category. Now change the cardinality. In your case it will be 0:2 .
This will solve your problem.
Thanks and warm regards,

Retrive Business Partners related to the filters of an Attribute set
Hi SAP Gurus,
I hv a requirement to get Business Partners related to the filters of an Attribute set.
I hv used a FM 'CRM_MKTTG_SAL_SEARCH_DB' to get the GUID of the attribute list.
If the GUID is passed to another FM 'CRM_MKTTG_SAL_READ' we can get the details of the attribute list i.e. GUIDs of Attributes and Filters within the list.
All we need to o now is to identify the BPs related to the filter criteria.
So, is there any standard report program or Function Module which can be used to achieve the above purpose?Thanks for the reply.
this FM is taking the Marketing Attribute Set ID as input and returning the BPs in it.
I would like to know if I create an Attribute list in the T-code CRMD_MKTDS, create a filter criteria for this attribute list, then how come I can determine the BPs related to this filter criteria Can this me achieved by any FM or Standard Report program?

Understanding message flow in XI
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/05/25/understanding-message-flow-in-xi
what are the different technical systems are there in the landscape.
The technical system describes the physical view and the business system the logical view, respectively.
So in most cases you must define both but while a technical system can only link to one WEB AS, more than one business systems can link to the same technical system.
Tech System - Holds the tech details like installation no, db instance.
Technical Systems are of following types:
Technical systems are application systems that are installed in your system landscape. An example of an application system is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) server. In the SLD, there are five types of technical systems:
1.)WEBas java,
2.)Standalone JAVA
3.)Third party
4.)Web as ABAP
1) Web AS Java
Web AS Java systems consist of one or more instances and each instance is installed on a separate host. An instance itself consists of cluster nodes that can communicate with each other.
2.)Standalone Java
Standalone Java technical systems are standalone Java applications that are installed in a computer system from an administration perspective. They can also be installed as an operating system service or as a daemon
Web AS java belongs to the NetWeaver Comes with both ABAP and Java, Standalone instread comes separate from the netWeaver.
3) Third party technical sytem
It can be any of the technical sytem. let us say if you want to send a file to R/3, here the file reside in your local system. for that you can define your local system as a third party technical system.
All those machines that comes under non sap, belongs to the third party.
4.) Web AS ABAP technical systems, ranging from any SAP system to an APO server or CRM server, are based on the same Basis Component (BC), which includes the ABAP interpreter, ABAP Dictionary, ABAP Workbench, and so on. A dedicated database, which stores most of the data of the BC and the application components, is associated with the system.
Also refer : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/8fa93e08503614e10000000a114084/content.htm
What is your file size and how many records are there in your file ? which idoc your using ?
The file size that your server can process depends on various different aspects like the server hardware sizing, total available memory form both Java and ABAP side, the kind of interfacing you are trying to achieve, if your interface needs a complex mapping etc. Although there is no correct picture on theoritical Max file size, it will depend on the specifics of your landscape.
I personally feel that, processing a 2 GB file is not a good idea as the message when converted to XML its size multiplies atleast 3.5 times to 7 times, which gets persisted at various stages of logging that the system does. You may want to consider other options like splitting the messages into smaller chunks, having no or minimal mapping and configuring the recordset per message property.
Personally in one of the implementations we have had to process a Max file size of 350MB which gets processed once a month and that too during non-peak working hours.

Thanks in Anticipation,
AnkitHi Ankit,
Not sure if you are looking for this..
In FI flow w.r.t. BI, basically there are 5 major topics/areas:
1. GL Accounting -related tables are SKA1, SKB1 Master dataBSIS and BSAS are the Transaction Data.
2. Account Receivables- related to Customer . All the SD related data when transfered to FI these are created. Related Tables BSID and BSAD.
3. Account Payable's - related Vendor. All the MM related documents data when transferred to FI these are created .
Related Tables BSIK and BSAKAll the above six tables data is present in BKPF and BSEG tables.You canalso link these tables with the help of BELNR and GJAHR and with Dates.
4. Special Purpose Ledger.
5. Asset Management- In CO there are Profit center Accounting and Cost center Accounting.

Re: What is a Business Process Expert?
Hello all,
Maybe we should open the discussion a bit beyond a "Human Centric" BPX. The main theme after all IS "The Business Process". There are hundreds, possibly thousands of Business Processes depending upon whether you categorize as micro or macro processes. Any one of these either on a micro/macro level function with or without human beings and may utilize machines that assist or automate value added activities/processes which produce higher value service or products in the age old scenario [input > process > useful output & waste output].
When we talk about Expert or Expertise, we are talking about precise know-how, and narrow domain knowledge wether depth or breadth knowledge.
Referring back to a post by Luis Rincones, regarding ideas and concepts leading to BPX, automation of the business process should be the KEY focus of a BP engineer. Back in the late 80's early 90's, we referred to these BP engrs. as "Knowledge Engineers" and their principal goals were to interview "Experts" in order to extract expert knowledge (sometimes 20+ years of experience) and understand not only the flow of the process, but more importantly the RULES which govern all exceptions and variations encountered within the process, as well as "rules of thumb" in case the RULES don't apply.
This is something which if we are truly to orient our Enterprise SOA architecture towards the goals of BPX mentioned above, will require a common "Rule Based Engine", which lives across all domains of knowledge, Objects, & environments, and works together with the design & development environment for the xAPP (I like to refer to them as "Expert Applications") and thereby enable not only the integration and homogenization of input data (via the technology stack), but also integrate the application of logic via a common rule based engine. In this way, E-SOA can also be enabled on the "useful" outbound process enabling services (actions) which mediate/manage/automate the process back to prescribed operating parameters.
Of course, people can not be eliminated from the process. Lexus factory in Korea back in 2002 operated with approx. 60 or so people, 150 robots, and produced >300 units per day. People were mostly involved in QA and deviation functions.
Automating the Business Process optimizes the output:input ratio and should minimize the waste:useful output ratio. By doing so, the ROI, ROA, and operating margins are maximized and competitive advantage gains against other not so able competitors.
Any one else has a few words on this?You raise a very important and interesting question regarding whether there is any framework for narrowing down the domain of a Business Process Expert.
There are many frameworks out there:
http://www.bpmg.org/8omega.php
http://www.prosci.com/tutorial-design-mod1.htm
http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2004/volume08issue04/art11_collaboration/p01_abstract.htm
From my experience, it is beneficial to focus on a critical "life support" process for the corporation. Many times this can be started at the top level COO for instance, asking what is the # 1 thing which causes issues with customers, collections, services, etc.. One such item is "contract to cash" and specific sub-components of this process such as "unbilled hours" which if corrected prior to billing issuance will result in more accurate Invoices, and collections. An improvement of this nature shortens the cycle time of billing to collection, or hour entry to billing calculation, and with improved accuracy increases cash flow and lowers cost per transaction.
What you are suggesting in terms of Media expert, etc.. is more associated with Roles which are aligned with Solution Scenarios within SAP. Business Processes may span many roles, and are critical to the application being developed.
I believe this is the purpose of BPM, but would welcome any further comments from colleagues regarding framework.
Please take a look at the following BLOG as well as Lakshmikanth does a very good job explaning the landscape:

What's a Business Process, really?
Hello,
in the thread BPX? A Techno functional Consultant? suggested to me her weblog <a href="/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2006/07/27/what-is-a-business-process-really's a Business Process, Really?</a> for some clues, and added it's now <i>the time to start a thread and expand</i> about this topic.
Effectively there are some helpful definitions in the Wiki FAQ page. Nevertheless I think a discussion about the concept of Business Process is absolutely worth. So your contribution is welcome!
Cheers, Davidea business process is a series of steps that are undertaken to achieve a goal.
Analysing BPs is like looking at a fractal. As you zoom in there is more detail that contains more processes.
eg car company
Shareholder view - build car, ship car, sell car - build car - cost? time?, ship car - cost? time?, sell car - price?
Factory forman view - materials in on time?, assemble time? six sigma?, quality check six sigma?, test passs rate?,
So a BP has a series of steps...so BPX job is to asks "can any of those steps be automated AND what's is the saving on automating the steps"
A good BPX
1. Finds the broad areas that are the biggest cost to an organisation - ie talks to some high level people looks at the accounts due dilligence type stuff...
2. Analyses processes - ie produces Visio process flows of what workers do (the skill here is getting the processes mapped out at the correct level - not to high not too low). Rate the steps in the process for variance across the organisation. How many times will this process be run...which steps require a human intelligence (ie hard to automate)...which steps can you augment/speed up with computer logic...which steps can you replace with computer logic...which steps are best left to humans...
3. Review processes with the busniess and score them in terms of greatest value.
4. Pick your SAP tool that best fits the process step and implement the process, test and roll out -
Personally I think the BPX role is not often somthing you're going to find in an individual. Small teams of 2-4 people working very closely with different skill strength areas are going to be successful in this area -

What can be considered as the business logic of simple data entry form
Hi all,
I want to separate my applications logic into layers. It is a simple data entry form and doesn't contain any complex business logic. So I want to get this simple business logic to different layer. But the problem is, I cannot clearly identify what are business logic of this kind of simple data entry form.
How do I separate business logic of this simple data entry form to another layer?
any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Suppose that the data comes into your system immaculate from some external system. Imagine that it will go out into some other system. The bits that you would still have to write are your business logic.That's a nice practical definition. Thank you, I'm stealing it.
Also interesting to note that validation falls into that category... say you're recieving data from a magical external source... you still have to validate it.
And of course you'd still have to store it somewhere, ans retrieve it.
Yep, I definately like that definition.
