AUC is Asset under construction where some assets are in construction phase and cost needs to
capture through internal order for the time being. Once asset is fully completed then cost would
be transferred to another cost object (E.g. Cost center, Order etc...) and settle with final asset.
E.g. XYZ Company constructing building for their office. While construction many expenses are
attached to it. Till the time it is created we cannot charge it in building account hence we need to
create AUC account where cost will be stored.
Assets under construction (AUC) are a special form of tangible assets. They are usually displayed
as a separate balance sheet item and therefore require a separate account determination and their
own asset classes. During the construction phase of an asset, all actual postings are assigned to the
AUC. Once the asset is completed, a transfer is made to the final fixed asset

This document defines many common project management terms and concepts. It provides definitions for terms related to project scheduling, cost estimating, risk management, quality control, communication management, and other core project management processes. Some key terms defined include the work breakdown structure (WBS), critical path method (CPM), earned value management (EVM), risk management processes like risk identification and qualitative risk analysis, and project management processes like scope management, time management, and quality control.
Scrum is an agile project management framework that emphasizes iterative development, self-organizing cross-functional teams, and regular inspection of progress and redirection of efforts. Key aspects of Scrum include dividing work into sprints (typically 2-4 weeks), daily stand-up meetings, and artifacts like the product backlog, sprint backlog, and increment. The core roles are the product owner, scrum master, and development team. The product owner manages the product backlog, the scrum master facilitates the process, and the development team does the work.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

15. To carry end to end process of a project, the project goals must be defined and activities
to be carried out must be structured. A clearly defined structured project is the basis for
its planning, monitoring, control and success.
Project Structures
Depending on the type of project and the monitoring needs, projects in the Project System can be
structured using:
Work breakdown structure (WBS)
We can use either Operative Projects or Standard projects for structuring the Project. Standard
WBS and standard networks allow you to standardize and reuse structures and sequences of
events in a project.

17. Work Breakdown Structure
WBS Elements
A work breakdown structure is a model of a project, and
shows the project activities to be carried out as a hierarchical
structure there by split the project into manageable units. You
can define WBS hierarchy based on:
Logic and Process oriented
Function Oriented
Object Oriented
WBS divides the project step-by-step into structure elements, these elements are called
work breakdown structure elements (WBS Elements). The various work packages in the
project are described in individual work breakdown structure elements (WBS elements).
You can further divide these elements at various levels until you reach the level of detail
you require.

Network / Activities
Networks
A network represents the flow of a project or of a task within a
project.
During the life of a project, networks are used as a basis for planning,
analyzing, controlling and monitoring schedules, dates and resources
(such as people, machines, materials, documents and drawings). You
can assign networks to a project.
A network is a special type of work order that has the same structure
as production orders, maintenance orders, and inspection orders in
the System.
Activities
Individual tasks in the project are mapped as activities in a network.
Activities having the following characteristics:
They have a duration.
They have a defined start and a defined finish.
Resources are needed to execute them.
They incur costs.

Be defining standard projects and networks you can standardize project management
referring back to data that has been derived from existing projects. Standardization is one
method of ensuring in the initial phase that projects are structured efficiently and
economically. A further advantage of standardizing project structures is that it makes the
processing of projects more transparent, enables the comparison of projects and
subsequently facilitates project controlling.
In the Project System there are several different standard structures that you can use as
templates to create operative structures.
Standard project definitions
Standard networks
Standard work breakdown structures
Standard milestones
55. Standard Structures (Cont..)
Standard project definitions
Neutral project definition, which can be used to create operative project definitions or
standard project definitions as templates. Project definitions are the frameworks of
projects and contains basic Organizational data i. e.
Controlling Area
Business area
Company code
Plant
Factory calendar
Standard networks
Project-neutral network structure, which can be used as a template when creating other
standard networks or operative networks. Creating operative networks by using standard
networks will save the time and increase the consistency of business process.
You can link standard networks with standard work breakdown structures in order to
create project templates, which contain both the project structure and the activities
assigned to the structure.
56. From Standard Networks
While creating operative network using standard
network, if the standard Network is linked to standard
WBS, system will create operative WBS as well.

From Sale order
2
Creating operative network from Sales Order using
standard Network, system will create operative Network
with activities as standard Network and materials from
sales order.
From milestone
3
Creating operative Milestone from
standard milestone system will create
operative network from Standard Network
which is attached to standard Milestone.

57. Standard work breakdown structures
Neutral work breakdown structure that can be used more than once and serves as a
template for creating operative work breakdown structures
From Standard WBS
While creating operative WBS from standard WBS,
if WBS is linked with standard network, system
will not create operative network
2WBS From Standard Networks
While creating operative network using standard
network, if the standard Network is linked to standard
WBS, system will create operative WBS as well.

Standard milestones
Standard milestones are used for creating milestones and other standard milestones.
You can combine different standard Milestones in a milestone group.

58. The Project Builder is a user-friendly method of accessing the Project System, which
enables you to edit your projects quickly and efficiently.
It gives the option of Context sensitive menus, Drag & Drop, and the capability to define
your own worklist and templates pool.
Use:
Create, change or display all project structure data in one transaction
Graphic views (hierarchy and network graphic)
Project planning board with all its overviews (capacity, costs, component, and
maintenance order overviews)
Can define a user-specific worklist and a user-specific templates pool
Can make user-specific changes to the settings
Project Builder
63. Structure Planning
Structure planning will be used if you have a more precise idea of the structure of the project.
Using structure planning you can enter WBS elements and Activities together. Structure
planning is having two views i.e.
WBS elements
Network activities
Use:
Create Projects and activities
Maintain already created projects
Analysis
Capacity leveling
Cost overviews as for activities
