What is the purpose or functions of these tables?

Dear Experts,
Briefly, could you explain what is the purpose or function of these tables:
1. INOB - link between internal number and object. Is internal number = internal order number? related to project? purpose?
2. AUSP - Characteristic values - what characteristics? all? purpose?
3. CABN - Characteristic : what is the purpose of this table?
4. KLAH - Class header data : what is purpose of Class ?
Are these cross-application like MM+SD etc or application area-specific eg MM only?
Sorry, but i have no strong functional knowledge in these aspects. Please enlighten me.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Bass

1. INOB - link between internal number and object. Is internal number = internal order number? related to project? purpose?
It is a linking table for internal number and object for characterstics tables.It is not relate to project.
2. AUSP - Characteristic values - what characteristics? all? purpose?
It will show what are the objects in class and internal characterstics.Details it will not show and it shows only numbers
For e.gSuppose you have provided some values in Characterstics like qty 10,20..and colour ...red ,while..,Sytem will show these details in this table.
3. CABN - Characteristic : what is the purpose of this table?
It will show the type of characterstic is this numeric or character
4. KLAH - Class header data : what is purpose of Class ?
This is also linking table.Thease are cross application tables MM+SD +PP as charactersics used in all process.

What is the purpose of the foreground/background color?

I want to know what is the purpose of the foreground/background color in photoshop, am knew to PS, so am just trying to figure what are the purposes of some of these stuff.

Jamaine Semple

Please read the Help files. Start with "Creating, Opening and Importing images".
• Select a canvas color option.
White Fills the background or first layer with white, the default background color.
Background Color Fills the background or first layer with the current background color.
Transparent Makes the first layer transparent, with no color values. The resulting document has a single, transparent layer as its contents.
The Foreground Color is chosen for the brush, shapes, etc.
Eventually, you want to read the entire content of the Help files, and maybe, hopefully, a book like " Photoshop Classroom in a Book".
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its long and steep learning curve.
Take a class at a community college. Teaching you Photoshop from the ground up far exceeds the scope of the forum.

Hi Gurus,
There is a property "Destination Function" on Submit buttons.
What is the purpose of this field.
I tried setting some values here expecting following behavior in order:
1. Process Form Request will get executed.
2. User will be navigated to the OAF page related to the Destination Function.

Function module: why do we use FM and what is the purpose of using FM

hi,
   Can any please explain. Why do we use FM?
                                       What is the purpose of using FM ?
                                       Where we are using FM and for what tables in R/3 ?
I could be thankful to you if any one answer above questions.
Arun

Hi,
We go for creating FM when there is a chance of using the same code in different reports in R/3.
Suppose I have a requirement say, to display the Payer Name for every sale order.
This is most common requirement in any project.
You can create a FM say READ_CUSTOMER_NAME in SE37.
Write a select statement from the table VBAP to fetch the Payer Name based on the Sales Order.
Now you can activate the FM and it is ready to be used across all the reports in R/3.
Need : To avoid redundant coding and to modularize the code.
If you want to see the list of Standard FMs, got SE37 --> press F4 and you'll get all the SAP standard FMs.
For customized FMs (User defined), type Z* or Y* and press F4.
Hope this helps a bit !!!

What is control tables in abap hr?what is the purpose?

what is control tables in abap hr?what is the purpose?

These are the screen elements used to display tabular data they can be called
as screen tables( like STEP LOOP).To use table control we have to create it on the screen using SCREEN PAINTER(SE51) and declare a control variable of TYPE TABLEVIEW using CONTROLS statement in the ABAP program. We have to use LOOP .. ENDLOOP statement in both PBO and PAI with or without AT int_table parameter. IF AT int_table parameter is not used than we have to place a MODULE call between the LOOP...ENDLOOP statement to fill the screen table rows from the ABAP program in PBO and program our own scrolling functions
using OK_CODE field.
Having a parallel loop(at screen table rows & int table rows) by using parameter
AT int_table makes the ABAP code simple.
A special structure of type CXTAB_CONTROL is used to set/get various
attributes of table control at runtime like CURRENT_LINE ,TOP_LINE.
ABAP declaration
CONTROLS: tab_con TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN nnnn
Here tab_con is the same name we used in screen for the table control.
This ABAP statement will declare a control variable that will be used to access
the table control , and set it's various attributes like number of fixed columns(tab_con-FIXED_COLS) ,total number of records it will display(tab_con-LINES).It is of type CXTAB_CONTROL and is a deep structure(structure containing structures).
REFRESH CONTROL tab_con FROM SCREEN nnnn
This ABAP statement will initialize the table control on the screen nnnn to its initial values.
PBO processingI
n PBO we have to use the screen LOOP ...ENDLOOP statement , with or without
intenal table.
LOOP WITH CONTROL tab_con.
MODULE fill_tab_con.
ENDLOOP.
Here a module should be called between the loop endloop statement to transfer
data from th ABAP program to the screen table through a structure.This module
should use the CURRENT_LINE attribute of the table control variable to get the
current screen table record index to read the data from the internal table into a work area.
e.g.
READ TABLE int_table INDEX tab_con-CURRENT_LINE
The record read will be placed in the header line of the internal table and will be available to the similarly named screen fields or if these are different it can be written explicitly. e.g.
screen_field_name = int_table-field_name
LOOP AT int_table INTO workarea WITH CONTROL tab_con CURSOR i FROM
n1 TO n2.
ENDLOOP.
Here the module call is not required to fill the screen table.The CURSOR parameter is a integer of type I indicating which absolute internal table line
should be the first to display on the table control .FROM n1 TO n2 can be used
to restrict the starting line and ending line number of the internal table , they are of type SY-TABIX.
In both cases before the LOOP statement a module should be called which
is generally for setting of status ,in which we should fill the LINES attribute
(tab_con-LINES ) of the control with the total number of internal table records,doing this ensures correct and automatic scrolling.
The ABAP statement DESCRIBE TABLE int_table LINES lines can be used
to get the total lines in an int table.
PAI Processing
We have to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP in PAI so that data can transfer fro table control to ABAP program. If we want to write changes to the data we should
call a module between the LOOP ... ENDLOOP. The MODULE call to process user commands (SY-UCOM) should be called after the ENDLOOP statement.
e.g.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT
MODULE mod AT EXIT-COMMAND.
LOOP AT itab_table or LOOP "depending on whether we are using AT int_table
MODULE modify_int_table.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE user_command.
In the MODULE call modify_int_table we can use
MODIFY int_table FROM workarea INDEX tab_con-CURRENT_LINE
or we can use
int_table-field_name = screen_field_name.
Thanks
Please Reward points if helpful.

What is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC

CAN ANY EXPLAIN ME
1.what is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC?
2. AND THE CONTENTS IN ITS TABS.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW.IT IS URGENT
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 28, 2008 11:42 AM

Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group, Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name), Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button, a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table entries by choosing Maintain.
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
1. When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
2. When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows:
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new entries.
Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save.
You can enter one record at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two step).

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?

What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.

For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.

What is the purpose of Multiproviders???

Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to create a multiprovider.
I have read the SAP documentation but I still do not understand in what circumstances should I create a multiprovider for reporting.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide details on what is the purpose of multiproviders?
Assuming I have the following scenario, should I create a multiprovider for reporting?
Infocube A:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
- Shift Type
Key Figure
- Hours
Infocube B:-
Characteristic
- Employee Number
- Cal Month/Year
Key Figure
- Amount
I need to report on both the key figures for each employee and what is the shift type of the employee for the specific cal month/year. The employee number, cal month/year and shift type will be used as selection parameters.
I am thinking of creating a multiprovider for this reporting need but I think there will be some problems.
For example:
1) If I input the employee number and shift type as selection parameters, the amount column will be empty when the report is displayed.
2) If I input on the employee nunmber, then I'll be able to see both the key figures when the report is displayed but the data are on different lines which does not make sense to users.
Emp ID   Shift Type    Cal Mth/Yr   Hours     Amount
200001   Shift         05.2006       10
200001   Not assigned 05.2006                 1000
Only if I don't show the shift type column, then the record will be display in a single line.
How can I rectify such a problem.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Hi,
A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Multiprovider - used when we want to report on chracteristics and keyfigures that are in different data targets.

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

Hi Kishore,
Let me clarify you. First it is not new GL account but the New GL functionality.
With the introduction of MySAP ERP 2004, SAP introduced also a new functionality with SAP Financials. This functionality is given the name New General Ledger Accounting, or NewGL.
The new GL functionality has many uses like
Supports different reporting purposes: Legal entity reporting, segment reporting, management reporting;
Option to expand standard accounting with industry specific fields and customer-defined fields;
There is a new standard field segment in mySAP ERP: A segment is typically derived from a profit center (PC); it can be filled manually or defaulted recommonded for segment reporting.
You can search the forum for more info on new GL

What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03

HI,
What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03.Please help me in understanding the concept.
Thanks
Supriya

Hello,
There are cases where you pass some manual entries which might not have cleared against the other related item, THOUGH the balance has been ZERO. Like cases where you reverse logistics invoice through MR8M, then entry gets reversed but they are still open items. Like some GRIR accounts might have debit and credit entries for same purchase order and the balance MIGHT have become ZERO, but still they are open item. To clear all these open itesm (changing the status of the open items to cleared items, you need to use F-03)
Please go to F-03 and give the GL account which want to manually clear the debit and credit items.
Normally you will this kind of activity for clearing account, where there is no automatic clearing mechanism explained in OB74.
now click on open items. (if you know any specific things like document number etc. you can fill them, then they will act as a FILTER and only those document numbers you feeded will be appeared)
Now select the items you want to clear. Deselected all other you do not want to clear. Selected items will be in blue colour and the difference at the end of the screen MUST be ZERO to post (unless you configured otherwise)
Click on save button.
The entries passed will GL Account A Dr and GL Account B Cr. Meaning that there is no implication but posting the debit and crediting the same account and clearing the status of the line items from OPEN to CLEARED.
Hope I am clear.
Regards,
Ravi

What is the purpose of the 1394 and USB jacks on the 30" Cinema?

I have a 30" Cinema display connect to my (current-model) Mini via the Thunderbolt port and an Apple Dual-DVI adapter.
The back of the display has a pair of USB jacks and a pair of Firewire jacks, and the adapter has cable connections to match. What is the purpose of all these connections? I can tell you right now, it seems that nothing is coming or going through any of these paths. The Cinema display is working just fine but these miscellaneous connections aren't live as far as I can tell.
What would be great is if the FW tail on the adapter could be used as a second FW port for the Mini. Can that be made to work? Is there some way to route a FW signal to the Displayport?
TIA for any thoughts on this matter.

If I have to connect one Cinema FW port to the sole FW port on the Mac Mini, that doesn't gain me any additional ports--it consumes one of two ports and leaves me a net of one open port--the same quantity I started with.
The display's FireWire cable (not one of the ports on the back of the display) connects to the computer's FireWire port (via a FW400 to FW800 adapter). This uses up one computer FireWire port, but the display has two FireWire ports, so you gain one port.
It's the same for USB. You lose one port of the computer but get two on the display.
BTW, your response implied that the Thunderbolt port "contains" both USB and FW connectivity. Can I simply tap off the FW and feed my external FW hard drive directly from the Thunderbolt port?
Thunderbolt doesn't include USB and FireWire directly. Instead it includes a version of PCI. Apple is making some simple Thunderbolt to FireWire or Internet adapters, but they have only one Thunderbolt connection, so if you used one, there would be no place to connect your 30" display. (The HDMI port is limited to 1920 x 1200, so cannot drive a 30" display at full resolution.)
Belkin is coming out with an adapter that you could use, but it is not cheap.

What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS ?

hi
I have doubt on
What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS?
Thanks

Where do you see these fields? Please give full details (eg, the navigation path).
If you're referring to Effective Start Date and Effective End Date (effective_start_date, effective_end_date) these are two fields that appear on many HRMS entities. They're used to store dated history over time. For example:
14-Jan-2009 to 19-Apr-2009 - Pam Stephens
20-Apr-2009 to date - Pam Erickson
In this example Pam got married on the 20th April 2009 and changed her surname from Stephens to Erickson. Here the history of changes are kept so that if we date-track to any time prior to the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Stephens and if we date-track on or after the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Erickson.

What is the purpose of the "Store Presets with Catalog" Checkbox?

I am running Lightroom 4.4 on Windows 7x64. I have heard that under preferences its better to uncheck the box that says "store presets with catalog" because it is better to have the presets not tied to and/or embedded in a specific catalog.
However, I noticed that whether the box is unchecked or checked, the presets are always stored in their own subfolder separate from the catalog. Specifically, if the box is checked the path is: "C: Drive"->Lightroom, if the box is unchecked the path is: "C: Drive"->Users->"username"->AppData->Roaming->Adobe->Lightroom. So the presets are not embedded in the catalog file in either case, they are just stored in subfolders in different places (albeit in one case it seems user specific and in another it seems global).
So what is the real point of the "store presets with catalog" checkbox?

Take a look at these pages for more info:
