Question of The Week

Question:
"A Standard cost estimate needs to be released at midnight on 1 Dec 2009 for a company and plant code based in India and SAP server based in Singapore. At what time is it possible to release the standard cost estimate for the company code in Pakistan on 1 Dec 2009 ? Is it possible to release at 00:01 am on 1 Dec 2009 Singapore time (server time) ? "

Solution:
At 00:01 a.m. on 1 Dec 2009 Singapore time which is the server time technically it would have been possible to release the cost estimate, but in Pakistan the local time is still 22:01 or 10:01 pm 30th November 2009, therefore it is not possible to release the coste estimate at 00:01 but it would only be possible to release at 2:00 a.m on 1 Dec 2009 (which is 00:00 am 1st Dec 2009 in Pakistan)
Another unexpected scenario could be something like this :- Payment documents while posting through automatic payment program (transaction code F110) got terminated due to server shut down. How to start the abnormally terminated payment run ? Solution: In transaction code F110 use path from the menu bar Edit -> Payments --> After Termination --> Draw up again. You can now post the terminated payment from the point where it had abruptly ended.
