![]() Activating Business Functions in SAP ERP can be a challenging task. Since the effects are often irreversible, it is very important for SAP consultants to understand what a Business Function is, what it does and how to handle the activation of business functions. What is a Business Function in SAP ERP? Let’s first discuss what Business Functions actually are. ![]() Since the introduction of Enhancement Packages (EHPs), SAP has been delivering incremental packages of functionality to its customers. Most of this functionality is not immediately active, but can be activated by the customers instead. This gives SAP’s ERP customers the possibility to choose which changes they want to implement at which point in time. These incremental packages of functionality are called Business Functions. SAP usually ships several hundred business functions with each Enhancement Package (EHP). If you want to activate a Business Function but cannot find it, the cause is usually that you don’t have the EHP it comes with installed in your system. To check that, you can open System -> Status and check the Component Version field. By the way: According to a study done by SAP consulting company, he most-used business function of them all is the “New GL” – the new General Ledger in the Financials Module. How to Activate a SAP Business Function ATTENTION: This can be potentially damaging to your SAP system. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by actions described here. Make sure you know what you are doing when activating a Business Function in SAP, and never try it out directly in Production. Let’s have a look at how to actually perform the task of activating a SAP Business Function. There are two ways to get where you want to go: • Either you can use transaction SWF5 (“SWF” stands for the “Switch Framework” in SAP) • Or you can go into customizing ( SPRO) and select the path Activate Business Functions. Only business functions for which you have implemented the EHPs (component version) are available here. If you are doing this in a Production SAP system, make sure the system is locked for all other users and all batch jobs are disabled. You will need the SAP_ALL authorization to activate business functions. Now: • Find the business function you want to activate in the list. • Check the “Planned State” checkbox in the corresponding row. • Click Activate Changes. The system will now start a batch job to activate the business function. This can take between 10 minutes and 2 hours to complete. You can check on the completion via transaction SM37. Once the job has completed, the Business Function is activate and the functionality it contains is available. If you are in a Production SAP system, you can now reactivate the system for the users and enable batch jobs again. Pitfalls and Caveats When Activating Business Functions The most important thing to know about Business Functions is something I’ve said before: Most Business Functions cause irreversible changes to your system. If you choose to activate a business function, you should make sure you’ve read up on it thoroughly and know the exact effects it causes. There are a few reversible business functions (they are marked with a double arrow in transaction SWF5) but even they can not be reversed in a Production system, so this is nothing you should play around with. Make sure to read and implement all SAP notes related to a business function. Failure to implement these notes can cause unexpected results and dumps. Make sure that you have adjusted code that expects standard functionality to work a certain way. Function modules. Switch Framework SAP ERP (ECC 6. All enhancements offered by Enhancement Framework can be switched by the Switch Framework.0) Fundament: Enhancement Framework is the solution of SAP NetWeaver 7.Switch Framework Enables Optional Activation of Business Functions With. A proposal of interesting business functions could be triggered by SAP free of charge using SAP Business Function Prediction process. General, whereas the Logistics Extension Sets of R/3 4.7 used worked similar and you still can activate the value added services or the direct store delivery backend function in your ERP. Keep in mind to also check batch input jobs and other customized functionality. Make sure to check cloned SAP programs and update them if necessary. And finally: Make sure to test thoroughly. If Something Went Wrong: How To Deactivate SAP Business Functions Deactivating Business Functions should be the last resort in case something went wrong, and is only possible in development and test systems. Reversible SAP Business Functions are marked with the “” arrow in SWF5. In a test or development system, a Business Function can be deactivated by unchecking the Planned State checkbox and choosing “Activate”. Hopefully, this blog post gives you a good overview about what Business Functions are and how to work with them. First of all I would advise you to please check the note 1049251. Prerequisite for activation o Unable to deactivate Before you activate Enterprise Extensions, note it is not possible to deactivate these extensions. Furthermore, not every Enterprise Extension is compatible with every Industry Extension. If you have activated an industry solution (known as a 'Business Function Set') in your system, refer to the notes on how to activate the industry to find out if there are any restrictions regarding specific Enterprise Extensions. O Required release SAP Enterprise Core Component 6.0 is required. - There is no other way to de-activate it. The only thing is to restore the system back, when this business function was not active. - It is not possible to activate the business function during the upgrade. - This is a switch and it has to be manually click the Business function to activate it and once it is active there is no way to deactivate it. - Advise is to restore the system from the back up when this business function was not active.

My contract is up the end of May, 2016, at which time I am considering changing to Consumer Cellular. Right now I have unlimited calling, texting, but only 1GB of data, which the data is nothing, However, I am on the next plan which the cost of the phone is added to my bill. I am thinking of 750 min talk and $40 unlimited text and 4GB data, for a total of $60. What would be the additional charges, like taxes etc.? Without the monthly charge for the phone, phone will be paid next year 2016 at the end of May and then the AT&T bill will be lower. The only difference would be needing more data. Also, when you put in a sim card for Consumer Cellular, will you still have the same apps, does it keep your photos, keep Skype, games, contact list, FaceBook, etc? Thank you for posting, Carol. We’re glad to hear you are considering our service! The great news is that your phone sounds like a good fit for our SIM card, and your reception and service wouldn’t change. When you use our SIM card, any contacts saved to your phone will remain there, as will any apps or music downloaded to your phone. As for additional feeds, the taxes that you pay now will likely be similar to what you would pay with Consumer Cellular, as they are determined by the government in your area. If this sounds like it would be a good option for you, all you need is one of our SIM cards. You can find them at your local Target or Sears store, or you can get one online. We’ll give you a $10 credit on your first month’s bill, making the SIM card free! Once you have the SIM card, just call us using the phone number on the packaging and we’ll get you up and running in no time. Thank you for the post, and we hope to see you as a customer soon! We’re glad to hear you are coming back to Consumer Cellular, Bob.

Just follow the instructions for activation, and we’ll work with you to get your device configured to work with our service.

While our SIM cards work well with most GSM phones, we can’t guarantee all of the features will work well with non-Consumer Cellular devices. We’re happy to do the best we can, but we aren’t always able to support data for some devices, as it works a bit differently than the talk and text features. We’re glad to hear that our customer support team has been able to work with you, and that you are enjoying your service. Thank you for reaching out to us! That’s a good question, Terri. In general, unlocked GSM phones work best with our service. Verizon uses a CDMA signal, but if your device has a SIM card, we’re certainly willing to give that phone a try. You’ll need to contact the original carrier to provide the unlock code, then insert the Consumer Cellular SIM card. We are happy to do everything we can to get that device to work well with our service, but we can’t guarantee that all features will work. You can find one of our SIM cards at Target or Sears, or you can give us a call at 888-345-5509, and we’ll be happy to send one out to you. Best of all, with our risk-free guarantee, you can try it without worry! Thank you for reaching out to us today, we appreciate it! I have a Samsung Galaxy 4 phone, out of contract, which Verizon says they have unlocked. I just received my SIM card from you. Before I go down 9 miles of bad road trying to make the card work, please answer this: Has anyone EVER successfully gone from Verizon’s CDMA to your GSM using your SIM card? And if so, how? I, like so many of your customers, am not in any way well versed in cell phone technology, and I don’t want to go through hours of YouTube videos & frustration just to be told “we can sell you a phone that will work”. I was told by everyone I spoke to @ Consumer Cellular that I would have no problem, but after reading your responses on this page I have yet to see any success storiescan this be done? Thank you for asking, Paula. In general, GSM phones work best, though some Verizon phones that have a SIM card slot can be made to work on our service. You will likely have no issue with your phone, and we’ll do everything we can to make it work for you. When you call to activate your SIM card, we’ll go through the setup step-by-step with you so that you won’t need to spend time searching for answers online. We have had customers use a device previously used with a CDMA carrier successfully, it just depends on the type of phone. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to give us a call at 888-345-5509. We’ll be happy to answer them for you! We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us today, and we look forward to serving you for years to come! Thanks for the comment, Dennis. In order to complete the transfer from your previous provider, we’ll need the account number you had with that provider. They aren’t able to release your phone number to us and complete the transfer unless we provide them with your account number. Please feel free to either call us with that information or email us. If you’d like to call us, here’s a phone number that will get you directly to the department that handles porting and number transfers: 888-750-5519. Thank you for asking, Cheryl. In general, phones used previously with Sprint don’t always work well with our service, as they use a different type of network.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and we look forward to serving you! Seen lots of talk about “trying” various phones from other carriers on Consumer Cellular. The usual response is “we can try with a free SIM Card”. Curious why you haven’t posted any listing of phones that have been found to work by Carrier? Also, if I have a friend that already has Consumer Cellular, would it be a valid “test” to try putting their SIM card into my phone if I knew it was “unlocked”? Is there any risk in trying this? I would presume if they bought a new Consumer Cellular phone they can transfer service easily this way. That’s a good question, Mike. Many carriers have the ability to customize the phones they offer, so even the same phone model may be slightly different. That’s why we work with customers to find the right settings for their individual phones. In general, unlocked, GSM phones used previously with AT&T or T-Mobile work best with our service. That being said, using a friend’s SIM card may allow you to test your phone, but it may not be the right size, and settings may need to be adjusted on your phone to work. For best results, we recommend testing with one of our SIM cards. It’s risk-free, and we offer a $10 credit so the card is at no cost to you. We would be happy to get one on the way to you, or to answer any questions you may have. Just give us a call at 888-345-5509, and we’ll be happy to assist you. Thank you for taking the time to comment today! Thanks for the reply Ashley. I called Verizon and they said my phone was “unlocked” and that all their phones these days are now to allow international travel. However when we tried putting in a Consumer Cellular SIM card with two different phones they both said something to the effect of “Non Verizon SIM card detected”. Never asked for any unlock code or anything. I’m not convinced the phone is unlocked or else this simply will not work??? Is there something else for me to try with the SIM card testing? We’re glad to hear that you’re considering our service, Richard! I was able to research your phone a bit, and it appears to be a CDMA device used previously with Verizon. In general, CDMA devices are not a good fit with our SIM card as we use the GSM network. Our Doro PhoneEasy 626 is well regarded by many of our customers, and with our 30 day Risk-Free Guarantee, you can try it out to see if it is a good fit. You can take a look at it. We’re happy to answer any other questions you may have over the phone at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope to see you as a customer soon! Thank you for asking, Deloris. Straight Talk offers a variety of devices, and as long as your phone is an unlocked, GSM phone, we’re happy to try it with our SIM card. We can’t guarantee that it will work, but with our free SIM card, you can test it risk-free. You can find our SIM cards at your local Target or Sears store, on our website, or you can call us at 888-345-5509 to order over the phone. Whichever option works best for you! We’re glad to hear that you are considering our service, and we hope to see you as a customer soon! Thank you for asking, Carl. I was able to take a look at your account, and I see that you were able to activate your new phone earlier today. Please turn the phone off, then check to make sure the SIM card is fully inserted into the phone by taking off the back cover. Then, turn the phone back on. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please give us a call at 888-345-5509. We’ll be happy to troubleshoot it further and get your new phone up and running. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you have a great day! Your answer to Trish (May 3, 2015 8:46 AM) regarding using an iPhone5 from Verizon with your SIM card partially answers a question I have. My Verizon iPhone5 is the dual CDMA/GSM model (A1429) with a SIM slot, so I expect that standard phone services should work just fine. Although you say in your answer to Trish that “we have had success”, my question is about LTE service with this combination. Will LTE work? The phone specs state that LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25) are supported but I don’t know what Consumer Cellular uses or if there are other configuration issues. If I take the phone to a store can they check this for me and/or does the free SIM card allow me to check this specific feature BEFORE signing up for Consumer Cellular service? The responses I see on this page seem to imply that issues can only be resolved AFTER signing up which would require terminating Verizon and then HOPING that the iPhone5/SIM combination works. Good question, Bill! Yes, we do offer service to LTE devices. One alternative that you may find acceptable, is getting a new (and FREE) SIM card with a new phone number. We have a risk-free trial period of 30 days, so you can test this out without porting your number over from your current provider. Plus, you can cancel this number at not cost to you within the 30 day period. We’ll need to help you adjust a few settings to insure everything works via LTE. If you’re interested in learning more about this option, please feel free to contact us at 888-345-5508 or at and we’ll be more than happy to help! The good news for you in this scenario is if you cancel that temporary number within the 30 day risk free trial period, you won’t have to pay a dime! At that point, you can start over, this time with the knowledge that everything is going to work to your liking, and have your number ported over from Verizon. There is no additional charge for porting your number over. Please note, we’ll need to assist you with changing a few settings to make sure everything is in order once you receive the SIM card. If you have any additional questions about this process, please feel free to give us at ring at 888-345-5509. We would love to have you back, Stu. The best way to know if your phone will work well with our service is to test it using one of our SIM cards. We can activate your account with a new phone number, and if the SIM card works well for you, we can always transfer your current phone number to your account later. Best of all, you can find our SIM cards at your local Target or Sears store and we’ll give you a $10 credit on your first invoice. So the SIM card is free of charge!

We appreciate you taking the time to comment today, and we hope you have a great day! Nadene I see that you asked Ashley about a Nokia Lumia phone. I love my Nokia 640 LTE. However, have had nothing but trouble with the tech staff at Consumer Cellular. We spent many hours with different people today to try to get my phone to send photos. I finally found the information out online on a forum with a number of people who are having the same difficulty with Consumer Cellular. I can now send photos but can’t send videos. If that isn’t a problem for you and you want a phone service that allows you to use the Nokia as a phone go with them. But if you want to send videos to loved ones, I would go with another cellular company. Fed up with Consumer Cellular! Thank you for posting, Jennifer. In most cases, our SIM cards work well with unlocked, GSM phones, but some do require additional efforts on our part. We are sure to tell customers using our SIM card with a device that did not come from Consumer Cellular that we can’t guarantee that every feature will work. With Windows phones, we do have to provide some additional APN information that must be entered into the phone. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced messaging issues with our service, and if you give us a call at 888-345-5509, we’re happy to discuss them with you. Thank you again for posting, and we look forward to talking with you! Great question, Paul. It’s always best to have the phone unlocked prior it using our SIM card with it.

We appreciate you taking the time to comment! Thanks for asking, Mark! In general, phones used previously with Verizon may not work with our service, but we have had some luck with the newer iPhones. First, you’ll need to make sure the iPhone is unlocked by your previous carrier. Next, you’ll need one of our SIM cards. You can find them on our website, at your local Target or Sears store or we can help you order one at 888-345-5509. Then just give us a call, and we’ll walk you through the process.

Thanks for the question. One of the easiest ways to move your contacts from your Doro Phone to your iPhone is via the SIM card in your Doro phone. First, you’ll need to make sure your contacts are saved to that SIM card, then move the SIM card from your Doro phone to your new iPhone, temporarily. Once the Doro SIM is in the iPhone, you can copy the contacts from your SIM card to the iPhone. After you’ve done that, you can remove the SIM card that was originally in the Doro phone, and replace it with the new SIM card that came with your new iPhone. If you need any assistance with this process, please feel free to give us a call at 888-345-5509. After reading all the question and answers, I believe that a consumer cellular sim card will not work in a Wal Mart straight talk CDMA phone, I believe that straight talk will not unlock the phone for use of a sim card from consumer cellular. I also think that you know this to be a fact but you will not say so and quit wasting our time. Just say that you can’t do it and let use either buy a consumer cell phone or not. Waste of time sending a useless sim card when you know it will not work. Sorry that is the way I feel, about all this Surly you know by now if your sim card will work in straight talk CDMA phones or not. Thank you for posting, Dale, and we do understand the confusion. Some phones used previously with a CDMA network do work with our service, as long as they have a SIM card slot. A great example are the more recent iPhones. Most carriers will unlock phones, but we don’t have any control over the policies of other carriers. That’s why we recommend trying our SIM card with your phone before purchasing a new one. Our SIM cards are free of charge with our $10 credit, so we always recommend that option first as to save our customers money. We can only guarantee that our own phones will work on our service.

They should be read in conjunction with the charity’s financial statements on which they’re based if they are to be interpreted correctly and sound conclusions drawn. For example the accounting rules affect what can be classed as income or expenditure. Where a charity which purchases land to further its objects the accounting rules do not permit including the purchase cost as charitable spending in its accounts. Instead it is ‘capitalised’ and shown on the balance sheet. Similarly a charity that receives an endowment it can’t spend may have a lower percentage of charitable spending as a proportion of income in the year of receipt as compared to the previous year as a result. Ratios may also be affected by the way a charity operates. For example, a charity which primarily generates income from investments may have lower cost of raising funds than one which employs fundraisers. A grant-making charity funding other charities to undertake an activity will have much lower staffing costs compared to a charity employing staff to perform that activity.
