What is meant by Net ICP in HFM

Hi All
What is meant by Net ICP in HFM? How we will get it? Which member you need to call to get Net ICP?
regards
Sarilla

Hi,
Accounts like receivables (or payables), may contain amounts due from (or to) related parties (like other companies belonging to the same group), as well as other third party debtors (or creditors). We usually brake the total amount of such accounts by utilizing the ICP dimension. The 3rd party part of the account balance goes to the [ICP None] member and the related party balances go to the proper ICP member of the same dimension. Then the total balance of the account is summarized in the [ICP Top] member, which may be viewed as the "Gross" account amount. Then the amount "Net of ICPs" is the one excluding all intercompany partner amounts -i.e. the amount in [ICP None].

What is meant by change pointer and change request

hi,
what is meant by change pointer and change request in sap r3
plz can u any one notes or link on this , or if possible briefly tell about this..
i am looking for clear idea on this..
thanks
Ruban

With respect to Dictionary Change pointers means all the changes done to dictionary objects.
All the change logs with respect to tables are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS table
Change Pointers in broad sense are used with respect to IDOC
Change Pointers & Reduction of IDOCs.
Applications, which write change documents, will also try to write change
pointers for ALE operations. These are log entries to remember all modified
data records relevant for ALE.
Following Steps must be followed in case of Change Pointer.
1) Goto Transaction BD60.
Note down the Details of the Message Type for which change pointer has to activate. Details like Function Module, Classification Object, ALE object Type etc.
E.g. ZDEBP3
2) Next step is goto transaction BD53
Click on change button.
First select the segment for which the fields has to modified (either remove or
add ).
It will show the fields in a pop-up window where the user can select, deselect the respective fields.
Save the settings for the Message type. Dont forget to activate the change pointers by clicking Activate Change pointers button on the main screen.
3) Once the activation is done system will reset the settings for the Message type in Change pointers (BD60). Maintained the old settings for the Message type.
Check this FAQ
. Do you really need change pointers?
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61.
2. Do you really need to activate change pointers for this messages type?
If some messages types are no longer to be distributed by change pointers, you can deactivate change pointers for this messages type.
You can deactivate change pointers for the message type
and reactivate them again.
For reduced message types, deactivate the change pointer with the
Reduction tool (transaction BD53).
3. Are there still too many change pointers to be processed?
The change pointers are analyzed with the transaction BD21 or the report RBDMIDOC in ALE and flagged as processed. If the change pointers are created periodically, this report should also run periodically.
4. Are no longer required change pointers reorganized in time?
The report RBDCPCLR (transaction BD22) to reorganize the change pointer should run periodically. Depending on how many change pointers are created or processed, you can schedule the background job hourly, daily or weekly. You should delete all obsolete and processed change pointers. You can also use this report for specified message types.
We come across change pointer technique while dealing with master data distribution thru ALE/IDOCs
When we want to reflect changes made to master data(i.e customer master, vendor master, material master ...) visible to other clients listed in customer distribution model, we follow change pointer technique.
What is customer distribution model?
A customer model depicts various messages (master data, transactional data) exchanged between the systems and establishes a sender and receiver of data
A customer model is always maintained on any system for the entire distributed network of SAP systems, so it must be distributed to various systems in the distributed network.
These r some details regarding change pointer technique which u may find it usefull.............
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master, vendor master & sales orders. changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CHDHR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for changes relevant to ALE. BDCPS table stores the status of changed documents processed or not.
The process for distributing master data using change pointers involves the following steps.
The application writes change documents. SAP maintains change documents for
several objects in the system, such as materials, customers, invoices, and bank data, to provide an audit trail for changes made to an object. A change document object represents a set of tables for which changes are recorded. For example, the change document for the material master is named MATERIAL and it contains the various tables of the material master object, such as MARA and MARC.
When an application transaction makes changes to an object, the application writes change documents, which are stored in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables for each change made to an object.
Tip
Execute transaction SCDO to see a list of change document objects and
their tables.
The SMD (Shared Master Data) tool writes change pointers. When changes are made to an object, the SMD tool checks the ALE settings and consults the ALE distribution model to determine whether a receiver is interested in the object that was changed. If the system finds an appropriate receiver, the system creates change pointers in the BDCP table that point to change documents in the CDHDR table.
The ALE programs analyze change pointers and generate IDocs. SAP provides
standard function modules that read the change pointer table and generate IDocs for the objects that were changed. These programs are designed to ignore multiple changes and create only one IDoc. For example, if a material is changed four times before the function module is invoked, only one IDoc with the latest data from the material master data is created. The function modules are invoked by a standard report, RBDMIDOC. The selection parameters of this report allow you to specify the message type for which change pointers are to be analyzed. Configuration
you must carry out the following configuration steps to enable master data
distribution based on changes to the object.
Step 1: Enable Change Pointers Globally
Transaction: BD61
This option enables the change pointer process globally. Make sure that the flag is checked.
Step 2 :Enable Change Pointers for a Message Type
Transaction: BD50
This setting is required for activating change pointers for a specific message type.
make sure that the Active flag is checked for your message type.
Step 3 :Specify the Fields for Which Change Pointers Are to Be Written
Transaction: BD52
For standard master data objects such as the material, customer, and vendor objects, SAP already provides a list of fields for which change pointers are written. If you are satisfied with the standard set of fields, you can skip this step. If you want to add new fields, you must add entries for the required fields. If you are not interested in IDocs being generated for changes to a particular field, you can remove it from the list. For example, if you do not want to distribute the
material master for changes made to the Catalog Profile (RBNRM) field, you can delete this entry from the table.
Step 4: Changing a Field in the Master Data
Change a field in the master data object for which the change pointer is enabled. For example, if you change the net weight of a material in the material master data, a change pointer is written.
Tip : You can verify a change document and change pointer by viewing entries in
tables CDHDR and BDCP, respectively.
Step 5 :Executing Program RBDMIDOC to Process Change Pointers
Execute program RBDMIDOC to initiate the process of generating an IDoc. On the selection screen, specify the message type. For example, you can specify MATMAS. After you execute the process, it displays the number of entries processed.
Note :
Normally, you schedule this program to run frequently and start IDoc
generation for different message types.
Step 6 : View the idocs in WE02/05

What is meant by Time Phased Planning?

Dear Experts,
What is meant by Time Phased Planning?
Pls tell me both functionally & how we do it in SAP...as i am an Abapper
Kind Regards
Sajid

Dear,
If a vendor always delivers a material on a particular day of the week, it makes sense to plan this material according to the same cycle in which it is delivered, but displaced by the delivery time. This is possible with the time-phased planning procedure.
Materials that are planned using the time-phased planning technique are provided with an MPR date in the planning file. This date is set when creating a material master record and is re-set after each planning run. It represents the date on which the material is to be planned again and is calculated on the basis of the planning cycle entered in the material master record. For materials that are planned using the time-phased planning procedure, the two indicators, the total change indicator and the net change planning indicator are irrelevant. Therefore, they are not set by the system even if changes that are relevant to the planning run are made.
The system uses the interval between the MRP date and the availability date of the next MRP date for the requirements calculation in the planning run. Existing stocks must cover this interval. You must bear in mind that if nothing is ordered at the first MRP date, you have to wait for the next MRP date before you can plan and order this material again. Therefore, if an order proposal is created during this planning run, it will not be available until the end of the interval.
The requirements are calculated using the following formula:
forecast value for the interval (cycle + purchasing department processing time + planned delivery time + goods receipt processing time) + safety stock
this may help u

What is meant by ECC,OSS notes

Dear All Sap fico gurus,
Pls let me know the aberivation for ECC & what is meant by OSS notes & Significance of those notes.
Thanks in advance

ECC -- ERP Central Component
OSS-- I guess it is Online service system(will check and get back)
Hi,
SAP Notes give you instructions on how to remove known errors from SAP Systems. They include a description of the symptoms, the cause of the error, and the SAP Release and Support Package level in which the error occurs.
Depending on the type of error, an SAP Note may also include:
Workarounds
Descriptions of how to correct the source code (called correction instructions)
Links to Support Packages that solve the problem
You can access SAP Notes both from the SAP Service Marketplace and SAP Net - R/3 Frontend.
The Note Assistant can automatically implement only SAP Notes that have correction instructions.
Read the SAP Note carefully before you use the Note Assistant to implement it. The SAP Note can contain prerequisites, interactions, and references to postprocessing activities (making changes to a table, for example) that you must take into consideration when you implement it.

What is meant by costing key?

Dear Experts ,
while releasing the billing document to accounts , i am getting error like
Valuation with material cost estimate: error, The system looked for the material cost estimate using costing key "002", as defined in the Customizing settings for CO-PA, incomplete due to FI/CO interface
what is meant by costing key?
regards
rajakarthik

Hi,
In Costing based Profitability analysis you define costing keys. A costing key is a set of access parameters which are used in valuation to determine which data in Product cost planning should be read. In the costing key you attach the costing variant.
In the costing key you specify whether the system should read the current standard cost estimate, the previous standard cost estimate or the future standard cost estimate or a saved cost estimate.
The configuration settings to determine this costing key is as follows:
Assign costing keys to the products u2013 Three costing keys can be attached to a single product for a specific point of valuation, record type, plan version.
Assign costing keys to Material types
Assign costing keys to any characteristics u2013 You can use your own strategy to determine the costing keys. This is through user defined assignment tables.

Dispute Case Key (Replicated) (0DPM_D10); what is meant by Replicated?

Hi everyone,
I am working on implementing FSCM Dispute Managment module. I have some questions regarding the new standard content provided by SAP for this:
Earlier I have seen clients using the Stanadard InfoSet 0DPM_I0 for all the Dispute's reporting as it combines data from AR, Dispute Case key and 0Customer. But now I am seeing a bunch of new objects like 0DPM_M10, 0DPM_M20, 0DPM_C10, 0DPM_D10, 0DPM_DCAS_10 etc. provided by SAP as standard content.
Does any one have any experience with this new content; can anyone explain me how this new content is useful. My client is reluctant against using the standard InfoSet as its is built on two DSO's; I have suggested to build a cube on top of them and can still use an InfoSet to combine AR line items, Disputes, Dispute case key and Customer. Correct me if I am wrong with thid statement.
Also please let me know what is meant by a Replicated DSO.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

There are a few things to consider:
     1) The data is stored in deserialized form until it is read. The first read will deserialize the data.
     2) There is some overhead per-entry. 750MB/(3,000,000-30) = ~250 bytes per entry. Some portion of this is attributable to the per-entry overhead.
     3) How did you measure memory usage? Usually invoking <tt>System.gc()</tt> before measuring heap usage will clear garbage but is not guaranteed.

What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager

Hi,
What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager? i read some information, but i could understand, it says original data source be updateble. what is meant by Original data source.?
what is the use of option "Read-only" in Import manager logon screen.
Thanks

Hello Ankam,
You can check the Read-only option to prevent MDM from updating your data source.
Kindly see the below information on "DATA SOURCE UPDATES"
DATA SOURCE UPDATES
Some MDM Import Manager operations require that the original data source be updateable, thereby allowing new fields and/or entire new tables u2013 and the corresponding data values for each record u2013 to be automatically added to the data source before further processing.
Other operations simply create virtual fields in the MDM Import Manageru2019s workspace, although if the data source happens to be updateable, some of these operations instead add the new fields to the original data source as well.
NOTE ►► Updating the data source when possible allows you to
perform additional operations on the new fields as if they were part of
the original source data, and also use them as record matching fields.
NOTE ►► Fields that are added only if the data source is updateable
can be deleted automatically by the MDM Import Manager when you
exit or switch data sources based on the setting of the Delete Created
Fields on Exit configuration option.
Updateable Data Sources
Whether or not a data source is updateable depends upon the following:
u2022 Source type. The source Type must permit the MDM Import Manager to update its schema and insert the additional fields of data; some supported types are updateable and some are not.
u2022 Media. The media on which the data source resides must itself be updateable. If the media on which the data source resides is readonly, such as a CD-ROM, the data source cannot be updated.
u2022 Permissions. You must have the proper file system permissions to update the file, or the proper DBMS permissions to update the schema of the database.
u2022 Read-only option. You cannot have checked the Read-Only option, which prevents MDM from updating the data source even if the other conditions would otherwise permit it.
NOTE ►► The Read-Only option is: (1) enabled for source types that
can be updated (Access, Oracle, SQL Server, and XML); (2) disabled
and unchecked for those that use Access as an updateable staging
area (Delimited Text and Fixed Text); and (3) disabled and checked for
those that cannot be updated (Excel and ODBC).
NOTE ►► When the data source is SQL Server, the table names in
the database must not contain spaces; otherwise any operation that
would update the data source will fail.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vikas

What is meant by stacked list

hi
what is meant by stacked list

Hi Jyothsna,
A stacked list is a list used in Module Pool programming.
In an ideal scenario,you will define the screen sequence in either a static or a dynamic way.
By the statc way,you define the next screen and enter the next screen's value in it.
By the dynamic way,you code the statement CALL SCREEN XXX where the XXX means the screen number.The dynamic way overrides the static way of defining the screen sequences.
Now,if you want to insert a screen sequence,i.e a sequence of screens which are not defined in the same ABAP program,you either do it by static or the dynamic way again using the above constructs.
But in this case,a stack is loaded for a screen sequence and the screens are processed based on the sequence defined in it.
Before leaving this screen sequence,you should always destroy or delete it usng the keyword LEAVE as it occupies a lot of memory.
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.
Regards,
Puneet Jhari.

What is meant by noted items

hi all,
can any one explain me what is meant by noted items incase of G/l ,AR & AP. as i found this word in FBL3N ,FBL1N & FBL5N also?
thanks in advance...
regds,
raman

Hi,
Unlike manual accounting, you can make certain transaction in SAP which don't have a impact on accounting but are necessary for dicision making or related to any future transactions. These are called Noted items. Noted items are only posted to one side of accounting.
Eg: If we send a request to customer for down payment, it is not a business transations and have no impact on accounting, but we can pass a entry in SAP for such transaction and it will be a noted item. When actual down payment is received, this noted item is cleared.
Reward points if answer is helpful.

What is meant by qualified advance payment?

HEllo,,
what is meant by qualified advance payment. I was reading the SAP help but couldn't understand. so, plz explain in simple terms.
Thanks,
JEss

Definition:
With qualified advance payments, payroll takes place for some of the payroll elements in the first payroll run, and is transferred if necessary. The payroll run is not ended. Instead, it receives the Payroll Correction status. During the correction phase, you enter more payroll elements. In the subsequent payroll runs you carry out payroll for these remaining payroll elements and transfer them to your employees. The payroll program only finishes when accounting has been performed for all payroll elements.
Just do this simple transactions:
1. Maintain master data, example salary 1000 EUR
2. Release payroll
3. Run payroll u2013 will generate /559 1000 EUR (assume no other deduction)
4. Process Bank Transfer, will generate 1000 EUR, don't forget to set flag for transfer >> employee get payment earlier than it should be, for example get the 1000 EUR in the middle of the month. >> it is qualified advance payment.
5. Payroll Correction
6. Change salary to 3000 EUR
7. Release payroll
8. Run payroll u2013 will generate /558 2000 EUR (3000-1000) and /564 1000 EUR
9. Process Bank Transfer again, will generate 2000 EUR. >> normal regular payment, at the end of the month.

What is meant by an Activity in Business One

Hi All,
What is meant by an Activity in Business One.I studied it in Business One Help,but it is not much helpful.I want a brief description regarding Activities(help me by taking an example).Where this activity used(only in Sales Opportunities and Service modules).
Help me regarding this or send me the related links that suit to my Question
Thanks & Regards,
Saleem

Maybe I don't understand your question, but I think this is no a SDK issue.
An activity can be a call, a meeting, a task, any interaction with a customer that you want to keep record.
So, lets say you have a sales opprotunity, and in the first meeting you came up with a follow up meeting. Then, you open the sales opportunity in SAP, and add an activity for that opportunity, detailing when, where is the meeting, who will go,what do you have to show, etc. You can set a reminder so you don't miss this meeting.
Hope this helps

What is meant by locking the audit statistics?

Hi all,
I am getting this error in the inbound IDoc ALEAUD "The Audit statistics for sending system E1Q100, receiver system QS1310 and message type ORDERS could not be locked." Status 51, What is meant by locking the Audit statistics?
Thanks,
Charles.

It is basically trying to get a get a database lock on the table BDAUDSTATE to make your status updates but it was not able to.
See if a lock exists on this table and remove it, or it may also be a case of stepping on the toes that two simultaneous updates are going for the same IDoc.
It is basically a database lock error.
