YTD or Periodic ? Also the impact of Force Closing parameter
Dear expert,
I have 2 question :
1. YTDINPUT in Application Parameter :
Is there any concern if i put the parameter with Periodic ? For Example : Any function in bpc that cannot run in periodic data, maybe carry foward function?
What is the major consideration when i have to choose the periodic or ytd parameter?
2. In automatic adjustment at the business rules detail.
There is column named Force Closing.
I put the Source Flow is F0440 = ( Closing Balance Type )
I Put Destination Flow is Blank ( From what i'm read, it will write same as the Sorce Flow )
And I put The Force Closing is Check
Is that any problem with that ? Like Double data ?
Thx
Suprapto
Dear Wandi,
Thanks for your answer, but i think i need to be clear with my question:
For case no. 1:
I see in BPC Documentation, the recommended value in YTDInput Paramter is YTD and not periodic.
Why the recommended value is YTD ?
Out of the customer needs, what is the best pratices in bpc to store data in Legal Application , YTD or Periodic ?
Because, BPC comes with great function ( store procedure, business rules, etc ) example : business rules can set up to carry foward the value ,
If the parameter set to periodic, is the function that created in bpc will have to re-script again to make the value carry foward ?
Please see my cases not just only in carry foward case, but the consideration if the periodic is setup then what features in bpc that i have to re-create again manually in script.
For case no 2:
My service patch is 7.0.112
IF my settings is like that ? is it will create a dupplicate value ?
Because the source value is the ending balance, the destination is ending balance and the force closing is check.
From what i'm read in document, the force closing will create value in the ending value. Am I will create dupplicate data if the source value is the ending balance, the destination is ending balance and the force closing is check ?
Thanks for your help.

I think it is important to block unsecure addons. But if you do so there should be an open bug assigened. The referenced bug for this add-on is allready resolved so I do not know why this plugin is disabled. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636633
I have the problem that I want to use Secure_Auth that is using the Java Deployment Kit in such a nasty way (via javascript) that firefox doesn't see that the deployment kit should be started. Therefore I will not be asked to allow this plugin always for this web site. Since there is no documentation available how to do this configuration in a config file I am stuck at the moment.
I'm a liitle bit suprised that blocking all versions (even secure versions) is a way to get a good user experience.

That's a bug report in the Blocklisting component, meaning it's a request to add an add-on to the blocklist. The fact that it's marked as fixed means the add-on has been added to the blocklist.

Given that there's no way to disable Click-to-Play for this plug-in (the only options are Ask to Activate or Never Activate), if Firefox doesn't trigger a Click-to-Play prompt, I see no way to use it apart from disabling the entire blocklist.

If you're sure you want to go through with it, set ''extensions.blocklist.enabled'' to '''false''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]. -
ALL social network apps force closing
Started Sunday with just Tweetdeck, then last night it was all of the following apps force closing before I could make a post:
Tweetdeck
Hoot Suite
Facebook Official
Twitter Official
-AND- Twitter via twitter.com NOT the mobil app, accessing the website through Browser, that force closed, too.
I can't make a post at all. I was wanting to type "well the Halloween carnival went okay" but all I could type was the word "well" before it stopped letting me type, then sat there for about 30 seconds, then gave me the force close message. I also could NOT report it, as that wouldn't allow me to type for very long either.
So it's driving me bonkers. Anybody else having this problem?That happens some times.
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
Then if necessary:

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

Photoshop CS6 Force Closing Multiple Times a Day
I am running Photoshop CS6 and the application is force closing on me more than 10 times a day (no exaggeration, and some days it is more than 10). I have been using CS6 for over a year now and it seems within the past 4 months the problem continues to get worse. I am on a Mac and have recently updated to the OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am out of ideas to try to fix the problem, as I have tried un-installing and re-installing the application, I have tried many forum solutions that have been posted here and none of those have worked either. I use photoshop everyday at my job, any help would be greatly appreciated as my frustration has reached an all time high.
Any of this help?

The impact of accrue at receipt and accrue at period end on project costing
What is the impact of checking the accrue on receipt flag on the PO shipment on the PRC: Interface Supplier Costs behavior?
Hi
The system should be setup with Accrual Method on Receipt (not on period end).
On PO shipments of Goods line type you may enable the check box - Accrue on Receipt. This is mandatory for Inventory destination and a default for Expense destination.
When goods arrived from the supplier you enter a receipt transaction. That receipt transaction will get accounted and sent to SLA and GL.
The process PRC: Interface Supplier Cost have several parameters. You can select to interface PO Receipts transactions into Projects Costing. You would select to interface invoices as well. The system will check if the receipt transaction has been interfaced to PJC. If so, only AP variances will be imported from AP to PJC. If the receipt transaction has not been interfaced to Projects, then the entire AP invoice will be imported.
Another option is to always interface receipt transactions to Projects, and from AP to always interface only the variances, regardless if the receipt transaction has been already imported or not.

Upgrading from BW 3.0B to BW 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s)
Introduction
This Wiki contains my teams experiences in upgrading our Business Warehouse System from 3.0B to BW 7.0.
Hopefully it will be useful to anyone else who's about to embark on this. If there's anything I've missed or got wrong, then please feel free to edit it or contact me and I'll try to explain.
Rob Moore - BW Manager, Edwards Limited.
Overview & Scope
This was to be a technical upgrade of BW only. The new BW 7.0 web functionality & tool suite which requires the Java stack rather than the ABAP stack was out of scope. We had heard that the latter was where most of the problems with the upgrade lay. Our plan is to wait for this part of BW 7.0 to become more stable. Also it has a big front end change and the business didn't have sufficient resource to cope with that much change management.
Drivers
3.0B at the end of its maintenance
Opportunities to do better reporting
Options to utilise BI Accelerator
Environment
Our R/3 system was at 4.6C and was not going to be upgraded. We have APO at version SCM4.0.
Our BW system is approximately 300 GB, with 125 global users. It was at version 3.0B SP 18
We have Development, Acceptance and Production environments.
Resource & Timescales
The Project ran for 3.5 months from Feb to May 2007. We used the following resources. The percentages are the approx. amount of their time spent on the project.
Project Manager * 1 70%
BW technical team * 3 50%
ABAP coder * 1 10%
SAP Systems Development expert * 1 20%
Basis * 1 25%
High Level Plan
These are the basic areas. We planned to complete this process for each environment in turn, learning our lessons at each stage and incorporating into revised plans for the next environment. However we did the Support Packs and Plug-Ins in quick succession on all environments to keep our full transport path open as long as possible.
Upgrade BW to the minimum support pack.
Install R/3 Plug-ins PI 2004.1

Lessons Learnt
Testing is all! We picked up on a lot of issues, but would have picked up more if we'd had a full copy of our production environment to test over.
Our approach of doing a full upgrade on each environment before moving to the next one paid dividends in giving us experience of issues and timescales.
Write everything down as you go, so that by the time you get to upgrading production you've got a complete list of what to do.
We succeeded because we had people on our team who had enough experience in Basis and BW to be able to troubleshoot issues and not just read the manual.
The SAP upgrade guide is pretty good, if you can understand what they're on about...
Remember the users! The fact that the loads have been successful doesn't count for anything unless the users can see the data in Excel! There's a tendency to get caught up in the technology and forget that it's all just a means to an end.
Issues & Fixes
I've listed the main issues that we encountered. I have not listed the various issues where Transfer rules became Inactive, DataSources needed replication or we had to reinstall some minor Business Content.
Unfixed Issues
We could not fix these issues, seems like SP 13 will help.
Cant delete individual request from ODS
After PREPARE had been run, if we had a load failure and needed to set an ODS request to Red and delete it, we found that we could not. We raised an OSS with SAP but although they tried hard we couldn't get round it. We reset the PREPARE and still the issue persisted. Ultimately we just lived with the problem for a week until we upgraded production.
Error when trying to save query to itself
Any query with a re-usable structure cannot be saved (more thsan once!)
OSS 975510 fixed the issue in Dev and Acc, but NOT in Production! SP 13 may solve this once it's released.
Warning message when running some queries post-upgrade
Time of calculation Before Aggregation is obsolete. Not a big issue so we haven't fixed this one yet!
Process Chain Scheduling Timing error
Process chains get scheduled for the NEXT day sometimes and has to be manually reset.
See OSS 1016317. Implement SP13 to fix this. We will live with it for now .
Fixed Issues
Duplicate Fiscal Period values in Query
If you open up a drop down box ("Select Filter Value") for Fiscal Year/Period to filter your query, you are presented with duplicate entries for Month & Year.
Due to Fiscal Year Period InfoObject taking data from Master Data not InfoProvider. Thus it picks up all available periods not just Z2.
Auto-Emails being delayed
Emails coming from BW from process chains are delayed 2 hours on BW before being released
Due to userids that send these emails (e.g. ALEREMOTE) being registered on a diffferent timeazone (i.e. CET) from the BW system (i.e. GMT)
Pgm_Not_Found short dump
Whenever a query is run via RRMX or RSRT
Call transaction RS_PERS_ACTIVATE to Activate History and Personalisation
Characteristics not found
When running a query the warning message Characteristic does not exist is displayed for the following: 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAIPROV, 0TCAVALID
We activated the three characteristics listed and the warnings stopped. NO need to make them authorisation-relevant at this stage.(also did 0TCAKYFNM)
System generated Z pgms have disappeared
Post-upgrade the system Z-pgms ceased to exist
Discovered in Development so we compared with pre-upgraded Production and then recreated them or copying them from production.
Conversion issues with some Infoobjects
Data fails to Activate in the ODS targets
For the InfoObjects in question, set the flag so as not to convert the Internal values for these infoobjects
InfoObject has Conversion routine that fails, causing load to fail
The routine prefixes numeric PO Numbers with 0s. SD loads were failing as it was not able to convert the numbers. Presumably the cause of the failure was the running of the Pre-Prepare RSMCNVEXIT pgm.
Check the Tick box in the Update rule to do the conversion prior to loading rather than the other way round.
Requests fail to Activate on numeric data
Request loads OK (different from above issue) but fails to Activate
Forced conversion within the update rules using Alpha routine. Deleted Request and reloaded from PSA.
Database views missing after pre-PREPARE work
Views got deleted from database, although not from data dictionary
Recreated the views in the database using SE14.
Workbook role assignations lost
We lost a few thousand workbook assignments when we transported the role they were attached to into Production
The workbooks did not exist in Development, thus they all went AWOL. We wrote an ABAP program to re-assign them in production
Regression Testing Process
Introduction
We were limited to what we could do here. We didn't have a sandbox environment available. Nor did we have the opportunity to have a replica of our production data to test with, due to lack of disk space in Acceptance and lack of sufficient Basis resource.
Set up
We manually replicated our production process chains into test. We didn't have any legacy InfoPackages to worry about. We asked our super-users for a list of their "Top 10" most important queries and did a reverse transport of the queries from Production back into test (as we do not generally have a dev/acc/prodn process for managing queries, and they are mostly created solely in prodn). We made sure every application was represented. In retrospect we should have done some Workbooks as well, although that didn't give us any problems.
Actions
Prior to the various changes we loaded data via the Process chains and ran the example queries to give ourselves a baseline of data to test against. After the change we ran the same queries again and compared the results against the baseline. We tried to keep R/3 test environments as static as possible during this, although it wasn't always the case & we often had to explain away small changes in the results. After upgrading BW Development we connected it to Acceptance R/3, so that we had pre-upgrade (BW Acceptance) and post-upgrade (BW Development) both taking data from the same place so we could compare and contrast results on both BW systems. We did the same thing once BW Acceptance had been upgrading by connecting it (carefully!) to Production R/3. To get round the lack of disk space we tested by Application and deleted the data once that Application had been signed off. Once we got to System test we involved super-users to sign off some of the testing.
Security
We chose to implement the new security schema rather than choosing the option to stick with old. For us, with a relatively small number of users we felt we could get away with this & if it all went wrong, just temporarily give users a higher level role than they needed. Our security roles are not complex: we have end user, power-user and InfoProvider roles for each BW application, together with some common default roles for all. In the event we simply modified the default "Reports" role that all our users are assigned, transported it and it all went smoothly. Apart from the fact that everyone's workbooks are assigned to this role and so we "lost" them all !
Transport Freeze
Once you've upgraded Development you've lost your transport path. We planned around this as best we could and when absolutely necessary, developed directly in Acceptance or Production, applying those changes back to Development once the project was complete. Depending on what other BW projects you have running this may or may not cause you pain!
Web Applications
Dashboards
We had various dashboards designed via Web Application Designer. All these continued to function on the upgraded system. However there were various formatting changes that occurred e.g. Bar graphs were changed to line graphs, text formats on axes changed etc. SAP provides an upgrade path for moving your Web applications by running various functions. However we took the view that we would simply re-format our dashboards manually, as we didn't have very many to do. Plus the external IGS (see below) powered all our environments and needs upgrading separately as part of the SAP method. Thus we couldn't have tested the SAP path in Development without risking Production. Sticking with manual mods was a lower risk approach for us. We did find we had to re-activate some templates from BC to get some of the reports to continue to work.
Internet Graphics Server (IGS)
We had an external IGS server with v3.0B. Post-upgrade the IGS becomes part of the internal architecture of BW and thge external server is redundant. We found no issues with this; after the upgrade BW simply stops using the external IGS and no separate config was needed.

Periodic Journals with impact in flow and balance accounts
Hi
We want to pass Journals in HFM on periodic basis (zero view of adjustments set to periodic). This will enable a journal passed in Month 1 to have impact for all months in YTD terms.
The issue that comes up is as follows:
- There are some Journals which have one leg in Flow and the other leg in Balance type accounts.
- So in subsequent months, we have a proper YTD figure for the FLOW account, but the balance account does not have the impact as required as BALANCE accounts do not carry fr the adjustements frm previous months like FLOW accounts
- This leads to an imbalance in Balance sheet to that extent.
Have ppl faced this issue and how can it be sorted.
To sort this, we have made all adjustements YTD and post recurring journals. But this creates a lot of journals to be posted and isnt an optimum solution.Hi
This means there has to be a a movement created for all balance sheet accounts.
all journals get posted to the movement part in custom giving the closing balance for the GLs from journals.
This closing balance is then added to the normal upload balances to arrive at net total.

What is the impact on an Exchange server when moving FSMO role and schema master into another DC? What do we have to do on exchange after performing a such task?
I had 1 DC (Windows server 2008 R2), 1 Exchange 2010 SP3. I install a new DC (Windows server 2008 R2). I then move all the FSMO role including the schema master role into the NEW DC. I check to be sure that the new DC is a GC as well.
I shutdown the old DC and my Exchange server was not working properly and specially Exchange Management Shell. It start working again after I turn up the older DC.
I am wondering why Exchange did not recognize the new DC, even after moving all the roles on it.
I am looking to hearing from you guys.
Thanks a lotif you only have 1 DC, you might need to cycle the AD Topology service after shutting the one down.
Also, take a look in the windows logs, there should be an event where Exchange goes to discover Domain Controllers, make sure both are listed there. You can probably force that by cycling AD topology (this will take all services down so be careful
when you do it)

Hi all,
I must create a new application and I should choose whether to set it as Periodic or YTD.
Which one should you suggest to use? Is it only a matter of reporting or there might be other things to consider, such as performances of the db and so on? What are the main benefits with the different solutions?
Thanks a lot for your help
Francesco GavariniIn a YTD app, YTD is the base member and Periodic is calculated. In a Periodic app, Periodic is the base member and YTD is calculated.
Think about how your users will enter data into this application and how data will be loaded through automated processes. Will users enter monthly or quarter balances or do they enter Year-To-Date balances? If they enter monthly balances and send those on an input schedule, then make your app a periodic app. If they enter YTD balances, then make it a YTD app. Keep in mind you can have a YTD app and a Periodic app in the same Appset, depending on what your requirements are.
Also, what is your logic going to run calculations on? Is it going to run calcs on YTD amounts or Periodic amounts?

What is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?
Hi all,
what is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?
what are the changes is needed in costing?
thanks.Hello,
Its an nice idea to switch from standard to actual costing. It would be advisable to make this switch over happen in a new period praferably with a new year. You would need to carry out the settings for material ledger / actual costing and for the accounting settings you may refer to sap note 908737.
Not much costing changes would be necessary to the existing configuration but you would need to activate material ledger and allign your Inventory accordingly. The settings for ML would be relatively simple but the main problem would be handling the inventory that you already have in stock. You would also need to have a proper closing procedure followed by next month's planning approach which would actualise the inventory at the end of the month and decide the methodology for next month's plan valuation. It should be kept in mind for configuring ML.
The closing sequence would be as under:
1. Complete all Cost Center and production order postings.
2. Complete all Cost center Assessment / Distribution
3. Calculate Actual rate
4. Revaluate production orders
5. Calculate WIP
6. Settle Production Order
7. Run Costing Run (CKMLCP)
Material ledger is capable of actualising activity costs and WIP as well and you should configure it according to your need.
You can follow the standard SAP documentations for configurations + Note 908737 for configuring ML.

Hi SSM Experts!!
I need to understand the performance of the KPI, when you connect an initiative to a KPI.
How does the initiative and its milestones affects the KPI performance.
I have read the Whats new 10 version, and it says
"The new Impact Diagram shows how an initiative impacts the performance of
a KPI by showing the performance of a KPI over the initiative's time period. It
shows a Gantt chart of the initiative and its milestones and submilestones so
that you can see the timeline visually. By looking at milestones over time, you
can see if they are impacting the performance of KPIs."
But I cant find the way of how does the initiative impacts the KPI Goal. Does the initiative
change the values of the KPI?
Thanks a lot!!!Ingrid,
The idea is that you wish to improve the performance of your Objective and so put an initiative in place. As a result of the activity in the Initiative, the performance of the KPI improves which in turn will improve the status of the Objective. It is the effect/impact of the Initiative that is moving the dial on the KPI not the Initiative itself ie correlation not direct causation.
The beauty of the Impact diagram is that you can see the activity within the Initiative and also see if the performance of the KPI improves in the same screen. Also really useful, where you have Initiatives with dates planned into the future and have entered your forward targets, then these Targets show up on the Impact diagram so can see where you are looking to get to without having to change the As at date on the scorecard/KPI.

Why is the new rendered file smaller in size ?
Hi all experts, I am a bit baffled. You see, I did a 90 seconds effects in AE and the resulting file in mov rendered in 1920 x 1080 @ 25 fps yielded a file of 5 GB. Then I bring in this file into Final Cut to be part of my sequence with the same sett
