Oracle can't appeal the judge's decision to cut the $1.3 billion jury award
in its suit against SAP to a mere $272 million unless it rejects the $272
million, the judge told Oracle last Friday. Oracle is trying to avoid the
other option the judge gave it, which is a new trial. If Oracle rejects the
$272 million, there would be a new trial and then it could appeal the judge's
decision. The judge contends Oracle only proved actual damages of $272
million when SAP's now defunct TomorrowNow third-party maintenance subsidiary
illegally downloaded reams of Oracle software. Reuters, which reported the
decision, said the order did not indicate if Oracle could accept the $272
million and then appeal, but an IP lawyer the wire service talked to said
probably not. If SAP appealed to the size of the judge's award Oracle might
be able to try for the $1.3 billion.

Here is a video on Landed Costs in SAP Business One. The Landed Cost
document allows you to associate shipping and freight costs with the cost of
an item upon receipt into inventory. The Landed Cost document in
SAP Business One is a straightforward and efficient way of allocating costs,
especially for those small and mid-size companies still forced to do it in
Excel.
While this primarily applies to companies that import goods from overseas,
landed costs can be used to allocate freight cost for any transaction. Check
back soon for another post on allocating freight costs in a mo... (more)
SAP Business One is a business management and accounting platform for small
and midsize companies. This software can be used out of the box, or can be
customized, or most commonly can be enhanced through Add-On software
certified by SAP. Add-Ons are the applications built by third party olution
providers that serve a specific function in SAP Business One. The end goal,
of course, is to have a complete system that serves the needs of the end user
with efficiency and effectiveness.
Orchestra has selected an approach that we feel allows us to best represent

Mobile middleware is more than synchronizing databases and providing basic
application integration. It needs to include support for business process
extensions, and it must provide a set of features and functions that support
lightweight, "Instant Value" or "Mobile Micro-Apps" smartphone
applications.
There are many features and functions that are needed by mobile workers that
are not easily supported by smartphone operating systems like iPhone or
BlackBerry. Often the data set is large and the software application is an
ERP. The mobile user does not need access to the full ERP... (more)
One of the coolest things about NetWeaver Identity Manager is that there are
always new tricks to learn. The development team keeps finding new and
interesting ways to extend the functionality of the product. This, in turn,
allows us to further extend what we can offer to our customers. Sometimes
what I learn for a particular customer is brand-new, sometimes it's
functionality that's been around for years, but either way, it's usually of
use to someone, so I like to share when I can.
Recently I was asked by a client how we could link two fields together so
that for a given value ... (more)
