Will Characteristic Derivation in KEPM using Plan Method COPY

Dear All,
While performing Planning using KEPM transaction with Plan Method Copy. Characteristic Derivation is not working.
System Construction
We have put a derivation step in KEDR that needs to populate a Custom Characteristic WWXXX with a certain value. The Condition for this step is PLIKZ(plan\actual) indicator should be equall to 1.
We are copying Actual data to plan using the Plan Method COPY.The Custom Characteristic is not updated while posting actual data. However we want it to be updated while planning, hence the derivation rule. However, it is not getting update.
Note: In COPA Plan Version "Check Derivation" is selected. and We have tested in KE21S it was working fine
Thanks & Regards
Surya

Hi,
it is copy/paste.
"Move" can be used if you want just a sequence "345" from a characteristic "123456" by using the "detail" button in the step definition.
If you want to remove the characeristic from a field, make a "clear" step.
Best regards, Christian

KEPM planning method "customer enhancement"

Dear all,
I want to use the planning method "customer enhancement" in transaction KEPM. The planning level has been defined as well as the corresponding planning package. I also activitated the user exit COPA0006 which is behind this enhancement.
When executing the planning method no data are selected and as a result the user exit is not performed. If I use the same planning package but a different method (e.g. copy) data will be selected and the method is executed.
Does anybody have any experience with the user exit COPA0006?
Thanks a lot in advance
Best regards Dorothee

It worked when I created ran the integration model for a Pur Info record. I guess this works only if we had a source list ( as briefly touched upon in the BADI documentation). If any one has a different take on it, please share with me and I will really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Is it possible to automatically trigger a camera when someone arrive in the background hahaha.. Just a wild thoughts you know, like when someone suddenly pop up, the camera will automatically fire. I'm planning to use it in our Horror tunnel this october.

You could try to use a motion sensor - in a do-it-yourself store you can buy motion sensors that turn on the lights when a burglar approaches the property. Connect this sensor to the remote control of your camera instead of to a light.
Probably you can buy ready-made motion sensitive remote controls, the photographers here will know. You would need this kind of remote control for wildlife photography.

Problem in using the PA characteristic derivation using KEDR transaction

Hi All,
For one of my requirements i need to update the 'KAUFN' field in CE1XXX table with the reference document no(Contract number- VGBEL) which is there in VBAK table while createing the sales order using VA01 transaction. I have implemented one derivation using the user exit EXIT_SAPLKEDRCOPA_001. I got succeeded in updating the structure I_COPA_ITEM with the VGBEL filed, but the problem it is not updating in the table CE1XXX table.
Please suggest me regarding this problem. Is there any other way for this issue.

Hi Hussain,
Have a look at the following useful link:

Hi, I have an Ipad 2 and am planning a trip to Budapest,Hungary, I have Verizon, will I be able to use the Ipad 2 in Budapest?

Hi
I have an IPAD 2 and am planning a trip to Budapest, Hungary, I use Verizon, will I be able to use the Ipad 2 in Budapest? Thank you.

And you can of course use the iPad itself for any function that does not require an Internet connection. You can only use a cell network if Verizon has CDMA partners in Hungary, which I believe they do not have.

My computer is running very slowly and I have been told to delete everything off it and reinstall applications I need - iTunes is one of them...
However I'm scared that if I uninstall iTunes then reinstall it my music on my iPod will be deleted. If I use this method will my music be saved and be able to be reloaded onto iTunes and my iPod?!

should find most of what you are looking for. I have set the second shortcut to the link to Area coverage, need the same for your area with the verizon link. The driver chip sets are not interchangeable so get the model that will reflect the level of service you are looking for, suitable for your US location.
you should also look up references to AT and T and Verizon's use of shared infrastructure resources, one offers more than the other in terms of roaming.

ITunes will not let me change my payment method.CAn I still use iTunes cards

iTunes will not let me change my payment method .can I still Use iTunes cards

What happens when you try to change it, and if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
On you iPad you should be able to change it by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tapping on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and logging into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you are trying to remove credit card details and you aren't getting the 'none' option then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

KEPM -COPA Planning document View

Hi
I would like to see the changes made in to KEPM Planning package detials for example I have a Planninng Level-Planning Method-Planning Pckage , I have some values called Quantity ,when ever some one changes the Quantity and saves The Document (in KEPM) it gets saved , so I want to see the changes made document so that I will know who made changes and what changes are made ?
Is there any Transaction ?
Sandhya
Edited by: Sandhya Ameya on Nov 13, 2008 10:50 PM

Hi Sandhya
1) +/- I didn't understand, I do see a Tab called Line Items in KEPM on the Top When I click it say Long run times and shows Many Documents, and only for 1 Product (I chose from selections)? with many Document numbers for period 1-12, and some with -ve for sales Qty some with +ve (no sign) for sales Qty.
A. There is no tab in KPEM, KE25 is a seperate transaction to view Plan Line Items. You cant identify the changed documents seperately. What SAP does it, if you have planned for Product 1 for 100Qty, later the user changes to 200, it generates another document with additional 100 or if the user chnages the quantity to 10 then it generates another document for -90.
2) How can see for all Lines(All Products) for that Planning Package in KEPM (as above method is useful to see Products and Revenues side by side)
You can use TCode KE25, select the version, period, record type, currency, product view the data.
3) Now I took one Document Number and KE25 saw the plan Items period, doc number, Created By,Revenue,BUT not showing Changed By or Actual Quantity ,previous Quantity Like that ,
It wont have any changed records, it is only creating new document with incremental or decremental values
I hope I have clarified.

Error in characteristic derivation at the level of the invoice item when re

We are implementing the SAP project for just one small private medical Center which includes mainly outpatient cases in different medical Clinics (different departments in the same medical center) .For example: Radiology center/department, cardiology center Obstetrics center and so on.
We have defined each center/department as a different profit center.
Some of departments are subdivided to several medical organizational units; each unit represents a different cost center at the same profit center/department.
A case-based order (internal CO orders relating to a patientu2019s case) is created in the background when the patient is admitted
The same patient can get services from few organizational units (in ISH)/cost centers at the same visit/case and that's why it is important to collect revenue and costs at the same case based order. The revenue is posted to the case base order by using billing in the ISH module and the costs by internal activity allocation.
We have assigned IS-H services to activity types in Controlling; the services transfer to the case based order. CO-relevant services are posted from IS-H to cost centers in CO and within internal activity allocation, allocate them to the case-based order.
For example:
X ray service assigned to Technician minutes activity type.
Each X Ray service takes 20 minutes of Technician (Qty Cnv Facto=20 MIN)
The service transfer is preformed automatically at final billing.
We have implemented Case Costing Level 2 in order to analyze case costs in CO-PA.
We want to have the ability to derive the profitability analysis characteristics at the level of a line item in the case, for example: we want to define a service or the preformed organizational unit as a characteristic in PA.
We are not sure what the best feasible solution for this requirement is.
We investigated few alternatives:
1.     We have defined the case based order as real order with a settlement rule to a profitability segment. Revenue and Costs are posted to the cased based order and then settled to the profitability analysis. We eliminated this alternative because we didn't find any way to distribute revenue and case costs to PA between the different "line item characteristics" (for example: different services in the case).
2.     After eliminating the first alternative we tried to change the solution.
We have dealt with revenue and costs separately.
1.     Revenue: In the "configure revenue accounting" We flagged the Post to Prof.Segment checkbox, the patient billing module attempts to determine a profitability segment in CO for each invoice item and to post the revenue to it. The system determines the profitability segment using the characteristics of the patient and case data we defined.
We are using ISH_CHARACTERISTIC_* functions for characteristic derivation but we couldn't derive user defined characteristics which are defined at the level of the invoice item. (For example: billable service in the case or preformed organizational unit for each service.).We didn't succeed to it by using the ISH_CHARACTERISTIC_* functions.
2.     Costs:
We tried to posts case costs (internal activity allocation) directly to profitability analysis, this way we hope to have the ability to derive characteristic of the line item.
We know that when we use transaction: KB21N for internal activity allocation and we define two receivers, internal order and profitability segment- In case the order will be statistical the true posting will be to profitability analysis segment.
Therefore we have defined the case based order as statistical order.
We want to intervene in the automatic creation of account assignment lines by enhancement NHCO0001 IS-H: Create account asgmt. line during CO transfer.
The transfer program creates for CO-relevant services account assignment lines for Assignment rules.
But-We didn't find any way to do it, because the profitability segment object is missing in enhancement NHCO0001.
As an alternative we tried to use User-Exit in the profitability analysis valuation (transaction: ke4u) but also with no success. (Enhancement COPA0002).
Could you Please advice what to do,I didn't succeed in my ideas and investigations.
Thanks

HI Claudius
Thanks for your answer, I will try to discuss it again with my customer to understand weather he really needs/wants a profitability analysis on service level.
I processed also an inquiry within the Service Remote Consulting according , I will let you know their answer as well.
I have additional issue to discuss with you , please let me know wheatear you can help me.
There are internal service sales between different departments in the same medical center. For example: Radiology center/department sells X-rays services for the cardiology center. We need the ability to sell a service to a different department in a different price than to an external payer/customer/insurance provider.
Is it possible to implement profit center transfer prices along with the ISH_CO integration?,
How is it getting along with the posting of internal activity allocation when services transfer to Controlling?
At standard the costs are allocated (by means of internal activity allocation) between profit centers. The responsible cost center (assigned to the performing organization unit) is credited and the case based order (which is assigned to different profit center) is debited.
Is it possible to implement transfer prices in case the performing organizational units are connected to the same profit center? (because some of departments are subdivided to several medical organizational units; and each unit represents a different cost center at the same profit center/department).
Do you recommend defining a different profit center also for each sub-department?
Do you have any other proposed solution for this issue?.
Thanks,
Yael

System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.

Hi
We are planning to do a System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.
But as the Production Server Java Version is below 1.4.1, Orabrcopy could not be executed.
As per the planned downtime of the Production Server, we have copied all the database offline. ( say 9th of August)
but we could not create the control , trace, init<sid>.ora files using ORABRCOPY.. during offline database copy.
Now the system is up and running.. We havent created the files yet.
I have 2 questions..
1. Is there any other method so that we can create the control , trace, and init<sid>.ora files.
2. If we create the control trace files now ( 13th of August ) can we use the offline backup that we took on (9th of August) to perform a System Copy..
Need your addvice..
Thanks and Regards
Paguras

Basically, orabrcopy does (aside from other things) an
alter database backup controlfile to trace;
You can enter that manually (anytime) and use the resulting .trc file in saptrace directory as a base for control.sql, however, in this case you need to "know" what you're doing. ORABRCOPY is a "nice frontend" for this because it uses the same statement to create CONTROL.SQL, it just edits it appropriately which you will need to do manually.

Derived data in a set method?

I've tried searching the web to no avail on this topic. I currently have a set method that has derived data within it.
public void setConfigClassName( String ccn )
        _configClassName = ccn;
        if ( _configClassName == null || _configClassName.equals( "" ) )
            _configClassName = "framework.ComponentConfig";
       File f = ComponentConfig.getDefaultConfigFile( _configClassName, _className );
        if ( f == null || ! f.exists() )
            ComponentConfig.createDefaultConfigFile( _configClassName, _className );
            f = ComponentConfig.getDefaultConfigFile( _configClassName, _className );
        return ComponentConfig.fromFile( f ); It seems to not be a problem until I am trying to use XMLEncoder. The object encodes properly, but it will not decode, and subsequently will not decode any object in the file after that one. Can you not have derived data within a set method to be JavaBean compliant, or is the problem that it's attempting to open another file?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, that's what cutting and pasting without re-verifying will do for you. The last line should be:
_config = ComponentConfig.fromFile( f )And even as such, it still does not work.

Input enable query column using Planning function

Is it possible to input enable a column in query based on user action in Radio button group or button group by calling a planning function or WAD?
By default the column property for query will be Planning not allowed, but a user action should change the mode to Planning allowed using planning function or entries.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you could try to write an exit data slice and a planning function which sets the data slice to not lock the data during runtime. You can find several threads in this forum. how an exit data slice can be used to control the locking of data during runtime.
Together with the command I mentioned in my last answer this may work, but it still depends on your requirements. A dataslice checks only the combination of characteristics. If you can identiy a characteristic for each column this may work. If not, there is no characteristic combination which can be locked. Please consider this when designing your application. This may lead to an additional characteristic which is used just to identify which column should be locked.
Hope this helps ...

Not able to reload the data from DB using finder methods

Hi all,

I am facing a weird problem while using finder methods.
I am using weblogic 8.1 SP3 and entity beans are CMP with DB concurrency.DB is oracle

<h4>Problem Description</h4>

I am having one session bean which internally interacts with my entity beans,
Now say my transaction is getting initiated in one of the session bean and I use some finder in it.


To make the problem more clear lets say my entity bean is loanBean with loanId as primary key.
Now say method A of session bean initiates the transaction and I use something like
 
LoanLocal loanLocal =loanLocalHome.findByLoanId(loanId);
 
Note that I am not using findByPrimaryKey method
 
now this method A calls some other method B on some session bean which is having Required as its transaction attribute.
 
But before the call of B some other thread or background process updates the DB for this loanId and commits,
 
now when I fire the same finder in method B I am still getting the old data, ie I am not getting the data which has been modified in DB and committed by some other thread, I still get the old data and when I tried to generate the SQL queries which weblogic is firing, I see
it fires the SQL for every finder other that findByPrimaryKey.
 

Now my problem is I am getting the old data only and I need the new updated data of DB. isolation-level of DB and beans is READCOMMITTED.
Note:: I cant use new transaction to read the data.

 
And I couldn't understand that when weblogic is firing query for every finder then why it should not refresh the data in its cache. Is there any way to disable this kind of caching and say that everytime when i use finder just go to DB and get me the last committed data.

 
Any help in this regard would be very helpful to me.
 
Thanks and Regards
 
Manish Garg.


Hi,
In my understanding, cache is not involved in this scenario. As you
observed, the container fires sql every time when you invoke this finder.
So, it should just give the result that it got from the DB. Is there a
possibility that the DB is using repeatable_read or serializable for
isolation level?
You can debug further by doing couple of things -
1. Instrument the code in the generated RDBMS java file for the entity bean
(if you use -keepgenerated option for weblogic.ejbc, u can get the source of
this file). This class will have the implementation for ejbFindByLoanId. You
can just print the result set data after the query is fired.
2. Try the same scenario without the ejb container. Like, write a jsp which
will start a user tx and fire the query twice such that there is an update
between the two queries. Note that, you need to use a TxDataSource to get
the JDBC connection so that it will be tx aware.

Will I lose my unlimited date plan if...

....I simply switch to a 4G LTE device?
I am currently using a family members upgrade in order to switch to the iPhone 5. I am not upgrading on my account because I don't have an upgrade. I am simply switching phones. So will I still lose my unlimited data plan? The policy states that customers upgrading to a 4G LTE device will lose their plan. But again, I'm not actually upgrading...just transferring my number to a a new device.

Hi there KM536986 and community!
Getting the new iPhone 5 is super exciting! This would be considered "providing your own equipment" if you bring the phone from an outside source, such as another account.
This means you will not lose your Unlimited Data plan. Keep in mind that the warranty provided through us directly doesn't transfer, but Apple still provides warranty for the year you have the phone.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,
