Relax - the 1980's all over again - with Mobile Devices
It's the 1980's all over again except end users are deploying mobile handheld solutions instead of PC's.
Workers are buying their own equipment and bringing it to work with them. Professionals in IT need to secure, control, and monitor the wild collection of BlackBerry, iPAD, iPOD, Android, Smartphones, PlayBooks and Tablets. Consumers are bringing them to work, and it's out of control. SAP Sybase Afaria to the rescue ! Whether it's in the office, the store, the warehouse, or on the road, user's want instant access to apps and information.

The Enhanced Material Search provides a great alternative to the classic material search in ERP Sales and Purchasing transactions, offering full text search capabilities for materials and supplier catalog products (without material number), plus on-the-fly Creation of new materials.
In this 5th BPX article about the Enhanced Material Search with Creation I present great improvements and support of further transactions in Purchasing and Retail done in Enhancement Package 5, which is currently in RampUp.

Enhanced GLN Functionality Guides now Available on the SAP Service Marketplace for Healthcare
SAP's support of GLNs and GTINs may be one of our best-kept secrets (at least, outside Retail and Consumer Products). The fact is, SAP has supported GLNs and GTIN since 2006, and the functionality has been in core ECC since ECC 6.0 EHP2. In addition, SAP supports Traceability in the SAP Auto-ID Enterprise application.
2010 is the year of the GLN Sunrise, whereby healthcare trading partners voluntarily will begin transacting business using the Global Location Number (GLN) in lieu of individual location codes and account numbers. The first step is the use of Ship-to GLNs on Purchase Order (850), Order Acknowledgement (855), Advanced Shipment Notification (856), and Invoice (810) EDI transactions.
GLNs on EDI transactions for Rebates and Chargebacks (844, 845, and 867) are being addressed in the SAP Solution for Rebates and Chargebacks by Vistex.
