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?

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.

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.

Vikas

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 opening stock balance?

what is meant by opening stock balance and how we load the opening stock balance .Actually i gone through the document in SDN.But i didn't understood properly.Can anybody explain in simple words.

Hi Pardhu,
In many cases your SAP R/3 system goes live earlier than your BW system.
Say during go live in R/3 on 1st May 2009 - you had certain stock of product1 in inventory - say 100 PCS.
You then sold 20PCS of product1 and brought 40PCS until today.
So the stock of product1 in your inventory is 100 - 20 + 40 = 120.
Now if your BW system was to Go Live tomorrow.
You would have to let BW know what is your current stock level.
From tomorrow then you can record only movements in BW.. ie you will send only data of sold and brought pcs of prodct1 from tomorrow.
To inform BW about the current stock level you need the data source 2LIS_03_BX.
To send the movements to BW you have the data source 2LIS_03_BF.
2LIS_03_BX picks data from statistical table.
For the statistical table to reflect the current stock of product one , you need to run MNCB ---> which precisely calculate the current stock level of product1 using the logic 100 - 20 + 40 ie stock till date and stores it in the statistical table.
Then you load this data through 2LIS_03_BX to BW. Thus BW has the information of current stock.
Then you load the movemens only through 2LIS_03_BF after setting up the delta.
Markers can only be updaed when compression is done.
You choose to update the marker based on certain conditions.
BW uses markers to store the information of stock levels.
It stores the stock as the marker value(reference value) +/- delta changes.
When the cube is compressed you can update the marker. This will make the reference more current in time. Thus to calculate current stock you will have to take into account lesser deltas and a more current marker .. this improves performance...

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 sched agreement? purpose of its?

what is meant by sched agreement? purpose of its?

Hi Deva,
Schedule agreements allow you to have 2 different sets of schedule lines (VBEP-ABART). Standard SAP you should have two sets of tabs - of schedule lines. One Forecast & the other JIT. Forecast forwards the schedule lines to planning (seen in MD04) and JIT passes them to shipping (VL10). They can be identical or different. Typically these are used for component supplier customers (namely Automotive). The customer will provide you 4-10 weekly buckets (usually a
Monday date) of future forecast qtys. Also send you 1-2 weeks of individual FIRM ship dates - which are entered on the JIT. It comes down to the customer not knowing exactly what they need next week, but they don't want to suprise you with a large order qty, where your lead times are 5+ days. The forecasted qtys they sent last week should account for this.
Cumulative Quantities are tracked and influence how the schedule agreement passes requirements to both forecasting and shipping. These qtys are sometimes requested by the customer on ASNs. Cumulative qtys reset at year end unless you've got a customer calendar or you've modified standard SAP userexits to not reset.

What is meant by estimated costs and estimated rows in SQL explain (ST05)?

Hi
I was just wondering if someone could explain/clarify exactly what is meant by estimated costs and estimated rows in the 'explain' / execution path functionality of ST05.
For example, we could see a SQL statement was very inefficient accessing a table:
Estimated Costs = 6.006.615 , Estimated #Rows = 0
Does this literally mean that for 6 million costs / reads / effort, 0 results were returned??
Is this a ratio of efficiency?
We built an appropriate index and now we have:
Estimated Costs = 2 , Estimated #Rows = 1
A lot better! The job was taking 40+ hours and being cancelled; now it takes 5 minutes. So a 3 million times improvement sounds realistic...
However, we had another instance where the explain showed:
( Estim. Costs = 195.077 , Estim. #Rows = 538.660 )
and we built an index, and now the explain is:
( Estimated Costs = 41.867 , Estimated #Rows = 538.660 )
What exactly does this mean - as the costs has been reduced, but the rows is the same?
Thanks
Ross

Hi Ross,
>I was just wondering if someone could explain/clarify exactly what is meant by estimated costs and estimated rows in the >'explain' / execution path functionality of ST05
Take a look at note 766349, point 20.
>An EXPLAIN displays "Estimated Costs" and "Estimated Rows", which

So the costs and rows are values conjured up by the cost optimizer when calculating the access path that is most likely to be efficient. THEY ARE ESTIMATES!!!
>Does this literally mean that for 6 million costs / reads / effort, 0 results were returned??
As per the above, no. The costs and rows are estimated before the rows are fetched so there are no actual results yet.
>What exactly does this mean - as the costs has been reduced, but the rows is the same?
An efficient database access is exactly that; reads only the blocks that contain the rows it needs and nothing else. If the access is inefficient it will spend time accessing blocks that contain no data that is eventually contained in the result set.
This question would be better placed in the Oracle forum...

Peter

Whats the switch on the 7990 for and what should it be set to ( default )

Hi
Just a quick one, what is the switch for on the 7990 ? and what is the default setting? also are there any other fans that can be fitted to this card that are a bit quieter?
Cheers karl

This is no Lightning card but a reference AMD design card. Bios 1 (default position switch pointing to backplate) is unprotected can be overclocked and modded. Bios 2 (switching towards inside) is a protected non-overclocked backup bios. It is just meant to save the card when bios 1 is corrupted.
There are no replacement silent fans. You'd need to switch to a custom aftermarket cooler but as far as I know there is none except for water cooling solutions.

What is meant by referential integrity

hi
what is meant by referential integrity

Hi,
Referential integrity is the property that guarantees that values from one column depend on values from another column. This property is enforced through integrity constraints.
If you set this flag a check for referential integrity is performed for this InfoObject, against the master data table or ODS object. The InfoObject is checked for valid characteristic values.
It is used when v r doing Flexi update...
Prerequisites for checking for referential integrity:
Data is updated flexibly
You have activated error handling in the BW scheduler (Tab page Update)
On the Update tab page in the BW scheduler, you have selected the option Always update data, even when no master data exists for the data.
send ur id, i will send u screen shot of ref.integrity

What is meant by characteristic values

hi
what is meant by characteristic values
i have seen some tables like AUSP, these r for characteristic values.
can any one explain me that

Hi,
Characteristic value variables are parameters for a query. You set these variables in the query definition, and they are filled with values when you execute the query. They act as placeholders for characteristic values, and are processed using any processing type.
In some cases, it is possible to use variables for texts, as well as for characteristic values.
If you specify a variable as a characteristic value, for example, you do not have to give a text for the characteristic value straight away. Instead, you are able to fill the text field dynamically, according to the characteristic that you used for the variable when you inserted the query into the workbook. Define a text variable with automatic replacement for this.
Use
You need to use a variable for characteristic values, if you want to specify one or more characteristic values that you do not want to be included permanently in the query definition. A characteristic value variable is the placeholder for either a single value, an interval, or a set of selection options. With selection options, it is possible to make several restrictions, meaning that you are able to combine single values and intervals (7 and 3 to 19 and 43, for example). Characteristic value variables for intervals and selection options are available with the processing type Manual entry / Proposed value and Customer Exit.
Thanks,
Khushbu.
