| | Settlement with Ranbaxy extends patent of Lipitor | | 2008-06-25 03:49:00 | | For Pfizer, the deal all but eliminates the possibility of generic competition for its flagship medicine before 2011, and allays recent concerns the company will not have the revenue and profit to maintain its coveted 32-cent-per-share quarterly dividend. Despite generic pressures, Pfizer has projected a 10 percent increase in its dividend this year.For Ranbaxy, which has aggressively challenged Lipitor's patents in courts around the world for the past five years, the deal locks up six months of marketing exclusivity in the all-important U.S. market. By law, the first generic drugmaker to enter the market faces no competition for 180 days, which means Ranbaxy could sell Lipitor at or near full price for half a year. Last year, Lipitor generated U.S. sales of $8.1 billion.

| | Asset Value Date in Settlement | | 2008-06-04 10:36:50 | | We are doing line item settlement in our system. As the settlement is done at the WBS level, all the assets capitalized would have the same asset value date. Is it possible to have different asset value date for different line items? Yes, provided you do the settlement run on different dates. Also check the FI settings for settlement strategy. SAP Standard defaults the following scenario: An asset can only be in use/productive. This means the deliverable/asset must be completed. This is the same as the status TECO (technically complete). When you capitalize (settle to asset), then the system takes the date when the WBS status changed to TECO, and defaults this date as the asset value. All the line items in the WBS will therefore assume the TECO date of the WBS and that is why all the line items in the WBS have the same asset value date. All the individual line items contributes together to one unique asset, and all have the same value date of the unique asset, which was derived, from ... | | By: SAP FICO,MM,PP | | |

| | AstraZeneca shares soar after Nexium settlement | | 2008-04-20 06:14:00 | | Barclays analyst Andy Penman said the terms of the settlement give a "very strong indication" that the patents over Nexium will be upheld in any future litigation.He said most analysts have argued AstraZeneca should trade at a discount to its peers because of the uncertainty over litigation. Tuesday's settlement should remove some of this caution on the stock, though it may not have an impact on earnings expectations, Penman said.As well as a license to produce Nexium in the future, Ranbaxy will benefit from outsourcing agreements to formulate a portion of AstraZeneca's U.S. supply of the drug and its active pharmaceutical ingredient.

This accounts field status makes the transaction type (BSEG-BEWAR) required. During settlement you receive error message F5 808 stating that this field is status initial but the field is required. This field is not available to you in the settlement rule definition. Is it possible that this field is suppressed? You could not locate a means to display or require it if so.

CO objects carry costs, which needs to be re-assignd to the G/L accounts where it comes from. CO never generates any data, it only tracks the same onto some objects which are analysed for definite purpose of tracking the resources which are debits in FI as costs in G/L). In simple words, the flow is like following - 1. Direct Costs are incurred ( like material consuption ) in form of issues to prod orders. These are captured in G/L. Whenever you issue, consumption account is debited. But are also debited to prod order as Consumption...DrInventory.......Cr 2. Indirect costs are incurred in form of debits to Cost centers in G/Ls. These are actually to be allocated & absorbed in Products via Prod Orders.

| | | Car Accident Settlement - Get the Most Out of Process | | 2008-03-07 18:37:00 | | Getting a fair car accident settlement can be difficult. Insurance companies are savvy, and their adjusters are trained to negotiate and settle with you for the lowest amount possible. Insurance companies leverage the vehicle damages (and the total loss process) against you. For example, they will try to settle with you as soon as they talk to you. They will tell you that they will fix the car and "take care" of you if you settle for any/and all claims. They will offer you anywhere from $50 to $500. They will try to "cut of" the rental car as soon as they can so you are put in a weaker position and you settle faster. These techniques are unfair, but yet they are legal.The problem with accepting an early settlement is that you can potentially lose all your negotiation leverage. A car accident settlement due to a bodily injury is substantially more powerful than a total loss settlement. A bodily injury claim will take into account subjective values (i.e. pain and suffering, loss of conso... | | By: Boazstuff | | |

| | | Ford rollover settlement under re-review | | 2007-05-15 22:05:36 | | Filed under: SUVs, Safety, Ford
In 2002, Benetta Buell-Wilson was driving her 1997 Ford Explorer in Southern California when she swerved to avoid debris on the freeway. The high center of gravity of the SUV and the quick steering input caused the Explorer to roll four-and-a-half times, eventually coming to rest on its roof. The impact caused the roof to collapse, crushing Mrs. Buell-Wilson’s neck and paralyzing her from the waist down. The subsequent lawsuit, claiming that Ford manufacturered a faulty roof, awarded her $369 million dollars, of which $246 million was classified as punitive damages. In the proceeding cases, that figure was cut down twice by a California state appeals court to $82.6 million.
On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the state appeals court to review the decision, using the court’s decision to overturn $79.5 million in punitive damages awarded during the highly-publicized tobacco case that was heard earlier this year. The rational being that the jur... | | By: Car O Focus | | |
