Benefits & opportunities in SAP EHS

Dear Group,
I am new to this forum and I have been thinking for the past few months to do SAP EHS for my career growth.
I am a science graduate & have masters degree in Human resource management. I have 5 years of work experience in the EHS industry I am into the construction EPC industry.Currently i am working as a safety manager but now i want to boost up my career & explore some new ventures in the ehs industry with an eye on the global market.
1. Considering my profile can you give your honest opinion weather this would be the right time for to do the training in SAP EHS?
2. I was told by one of the training institutes, based in Chennai, that currently there is no SAP Certification Exam for EHS, is this true?
3. What is the present Job Scenario for SAP EHS freshers in India & abroad, how one can target the global market?
4. Is online SAP EHS training advisible as i am short of time due to the work challange.
5. Is thier only SAP EHS or something else & does SAP EHS covers the market requirement.
I am planning to do this SAP for my Career growth (in terms of Money) and for better work opportunities.As I said that I am doing this for Career growth,
Any kind of inputs and suggestions will work for me to take a decision in this field ...Thank you all in advance
Warm Regards

Dear Vinod
any of your question have been still addressed here. Check: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
Coming back to your questions:
1. Considering my profile can you give your honest opinion weather this would be the right time for to do the training in SAP EHS? => Currently there is a "hype" with Component Extension for SAP EHS Management; you will find job opportunities if you just use "google" and other platforms
2. I was told by one of the training institutes, based in Chennai, that currently there is no SAP Certification Exam for EHS, is this true? => yes: no certificate
3. What is the present Job Scenario for SAP EHS freshers in India & abroad, how one can target the global market? => refer to answers above; many companies do have locatons in India which deal with SAP (and SAP EHS as well); job opportunities come and go especially in area of EHS
4. Is online SAP EHS training advisible as i am short of time due to the work challange. => I do not have any experience with the online trainings; based on feedback of the community: training options in India seems to be limited, expensive and sometimes will not help for your career
5. Is thier only SAP EHS or something else & does SAP EHS covers the market requirement.
For Chemical industry (and related businesses) as well knowledge in SAP GTS is asked for often; Knowledge in the area of SAP BW and similar areas is helpful (topic of "EHS reporting" of any kind)

Benefits of using SAP CAR compared to SAP BW on HANA

Hi
I' like to understand the benefits of using SAP Customer Activity Repository. How is it better than SAP BW on HANA? What extra functions does the customer get?

Hi pavan,
thanks for the inputs
our requirement for measurement management is to capture the environmental parameters readings only
till we integrate scada how can we manage entering the measurement readings in to sap in EH& S module
regarding scada once we integrate can we take them to SAP EHS only
any other components should we have ?
where this is integrated to the data base tables of EH& S module or any thing else like PM module measuring documents
needs some clarity on this as once we take the readings in to SAP we would be able to make reports , exceptions, alerts etc...

Difference between SAP Carbon Impact and SAP EHS - Environment Compliance

I am confused between the functionality offered by SAP Carbon Impact and how different it is from SAP EHS Management - Environment Compliance. I understand that both of them are different technical products from SAP with Carbon Impact being an on-demand solution which was acquired from Clear Standards earlier this year.
However they seem to have an overlap in their functionality. Even the websites seem to talk about addressing similar issues.
[SAP EHS Management - Environment Complaince|http://www12.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/erp/corporate_services/ehs/features-functions/environmental-compliance-software/index.epx]
[SAP Carbon Impact|http://www12.sap.com/solutions/sustainability/offerings/carbon-impact/index.epx]
Has anyone used both the solutions and can tell what the difference is between the two in terms of their business functionality?

Hi Girish. While these two solutions both help manage environmental emissions, the specific pain points each address are distinctly different. Hopefully I can help explain. <p>
Environmental Compliance (EC) is a solution designed to help manage the heavy regulatory burdens associated with emission related compliance. EC helps you measure and monitor your direct emissions irrespective of medium (i.e. air, water, or solid waste) and manage these emissions against regulatory requirements. As an example, Title V air permits are typically hundreds of pages long and filled with numerous requirements and conditions. In order to meet the demands of the permit, thousands of tasks must be managed throughout the plantu2014be it calibrating a piece of machinery or measuring the sulfur content of fuel oil. EC provides a framework to break the permit down into its respective pieces and establish workflows to ensure compliance by managing the required tasks against the associated emissions. You can also set emission limit alerts in EC to trigger specified actions to help you proactively address your emissions as opposed to a more reactive approach taken after a permit requirement has been broken. EC also helps with the regulatory reporting of your emissions and compliance efforts by enabling you to create templatized versions of commonly required reportsu2014all available at the push of a button, or they can even be automated. <p>
Carbon Impact (CI) also helps you measure and monitor your emissions, but the real focus of this solution is on gathering enterprise-wide greenhouse gas emissions across geographies and scopes. For example, CI allows you to capture your direct emissions (Scope 1), your electricity emissions (Scope 2), and your indirect emissions (Scope 3). Scope 3 emissions are also sometimes referred to as supply chain emissions (both upstream and downstream) and can be the most difficult emissions category to capture when creating your enterpriseu2019s carbon inventory. For example, letu2019s say you own a steel mill. The ore that comes into your plant has an associated upstream greenhouse gas emission arising from the mining process and when you ship your final product there are emissions associated with the transport of your product to your customer. Beyond the plant, employee travel is another type of Scope 3 emission. If your company already runs SAP, you will benefit from CIu2019s integration into our Suite that allows you to quickly access your different sources of emissionsu2014be they Scope 1, 2, or 3. One of the advantages of CIu2019s on demand delivery model is that SAP maintains updated emission factors for various materials and activities from various authoritative sources including the EPA and GHG Protocol; with this prepackaged content you no longer need to do the work of tracking down the correct emission factor and making sure it is up to date. In addition to calculating your enterprise carbon footprint, CI also gives you the tools to evaluate different abatement projects to reduce your overall environmental impact. CI also provides reporting capabilities to help with the voluntary reporting processes associated with, for example, the Global Reporting Initiative or the Carbon Disclosure Project.<p>
Often times a helpful way to understand the difference between the two solutions is to think about how they work together. If you implemented both of them, EC would be the solution that would help you collect direct emissions data and manage the associated regulatory requirements. The EC emission data would then feed into Carbon Impact to represent your direct emissions. Carbon Impact would then gather your remaining emissions as described above to give you your entire emission footprint and then help identify the best way to reduce it.

How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database ?

Hi,
I have one more important question.
How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database in terms of performance wise for the access of data from HANA database as a secondary database.
I have 2 options and which is better for the good performance for accessing the data-
1 . In ABAP Reports in the SELECT statements by using CONNECTION (“HDB”) will this improve the
     performance.
      e.g : select * from BSEG into TABLE IT_TAB CONNECTION (“HDB”).
2. Will Create the Stored procedure in HANA studio and Call
   from ABAP as below by using NATIVE SQL–
     EXEC SQL
      SET CONNECTION (‘HDB’).
     ENDEXEC.
    EXEC SQL.
      EXECUTE PROCEDURE proc (IN    p_in1
                             OUT   p_out1   OUT   p_out2 )
   ENDEXEC.
Regards,
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
Option 1: In this case ADBC might even worsen the performance due to the overhead in the ADBC framework. OpenSQL is the method to go here, as OpenSQL - from the ABAP point of view - features the optimal communication with the database while ADBC has overhead like constructor-calls for the statement, parameter binding, etc.
Option 2: In this case ADBC is comparable with EXEC SQL but features more options, e.g. clean concept of multiple connection (connection objects via CL_SQL_CONNECTION), exception handling, etc. So I strongly propose to favour ADBC over EXEC SQL, but not simply for performance reasons. You might have a look at the ABAP Language Help in your system on more information on ADBC and the advantages over Exec SQL.
Cheers,
Jasmin

Work Flow Management in SAP EHS

Dear Friends
Are there general requirements of work flow management in SAP EHS. Actually, i dont have much idea on this. Please guide me.
As far as my understanding goes, i know one process where EHS manager/officer can give approval for work permit in PM. Here we might need work flow management.
Are there such cases/scenarios where we need work flow management in EHS. Please let me know.
Regards
Vikram Sethi

Hi,
Work flow managment shall be considered part of Product life cycle Management, the important steps are are: Design, sales & production and service: which may be disaggregated into Product idea, start of production, end of production and discontinuation of product.
In the work flow management, phases involved are product design phase, production phase, sales & transportation, service phase. Each phase has its importance starting from design to reduce waste generation to disposal mode of waste generates from the disappearence of the product.
I hope the above info is useful to good extent and to ahead further.

Benefits of implementing SAP GRC AC in Lifescience/Pharma.

Dear All,
Would be great if anyone could please share the benefits of implementing SAP GRC Access Controls in Lifescience/Pharma industry, more specifically which all regulations and laws it takes care of.
Regards,
Hersh.
Edited by: HERSH GUPTA on Dec 18, 2008 6:04 PM

Hersh,
Look for some of the Success stories out there. That should help you. Below is one of it.
http://www.securintegration.com/fileadmin/redakteur/binary/Success_Story_KRKA_SI.pdf
I too work at a Pharma client and having AC in place really helps. CC will help the internal SOX and audit team to verify that there are no SOD's. RE can streamline the role change approval process which will be of a great help when you see it from a auditor prospective. (You will always have the right approvals for the role changes a developer makes) and AE will help you reduce the paper work and the biggest advantage is the right approvals. Before using AE we used to have the paper based access request and we used to get a lot of audit issues because of the people approving roles that doesn't fall under their own space. (which will be taken very seroiously if it is a Pharma company.) FF advanages reamins the same across the industries.
Hope this helps,
Naveen

Regarding SAP EHS

Pls guide and give your valuble advises friends.
Regards
Viswanath Reddy

Dear Reddy,
There are two aspects of becoming SAP EHS consultant. One is having good knowledge of day to day activities what are currently carried out in an industry and second is understanding the process flow when you use software to ensure smooth functioning. By seeing your mail it is very clear that you got very good domain knowledge. I have following to offer when it comes to becoming a SAP EH&S consultant
i) Get overall knowldege of SAP - SAP Overview course
ii) Take up some trainings available through SAP or Technidata on Basic Data and Tools and Product Satefy - which I believe are pre-requisite for other modules implementation.
iii) By seeing your profiles it seems you will fit into IH&S and OH or Environmental Compliance domains. So decide which is good for you, then I suggest you to go for appropriate training or read online documentation. Practice a lot - there is no substitute for this !!!!!
iv) Find some job in a company - then try to expand yourself for different modules.
Become a successful SAP EH&S Consultant
All the best
Thanks and Regards

Can we integrate SAP PM functional location into sap ehs waste management?

Can we integrate SAP PM functional location into sap ehs waste management?
We have already imported functional location into Incident Management.
The requirement is that we need to somehow integrate either functional location of PM or location of Incident Management
to EH&S Waste Management module.
Any comments/ideas would be highly appreciated !!

Hi !
Through this IMG activity you can integrate Waste Management business partner to other objects. What you have asked should be possible. But default settings provided with this IMG activity are,
You can integrate Business partner to,
1. Plant
2. Company Code
3. Cost Center
4. Controlling Area
5. Order
6. Customer
7. Vendor
8. Storage Location
9. Plant for Storage Location
You can see this in the structure, “EHSWAS_MDINTO”.
See this IMG activity,
Environment, Health & Safety -> Waste Management -> Master Data -> Basic Settings for Master Data -> Specify Object Types for Integration.
“A waste management business partner can be identical to other objects in the SAP System, for example, a plant, a company code, or a cost center. In the master data for the Waste Management component, you can also assign a waste management business partner the object in the SAP System to which it is identical.
In this IMG activity you specify which object types you can assign to the waste management business partners.
Standard settings:
Default settings are delivered. You cannot change these settings, but you can add more settings.”

SAP EHS Safety Issue mobile app on SMP 3.0

Hi,
I'm on the process of installing and configuring the SAP EHS Safety Issue mobile app on SMP 3.0. However, the current Administrator guide hasn't been updated since SMP 2.3.
Has anyone attempted to install this app on SMP 3.0? Any idea how this should be configured? Should it use the SAP Management Console or the Gateway Management Cockpit?
Also, does anyone has previous experience working with this app? How can I test the OData services without going through SMP?
Kind regards,
Omar

For anyone interested, here's some details:
The HTTP method implemented by the service is: http://<SAPserver>:8000/sap/opu/odata/EHSMM01/LWM_SAFETY_OBSERVAT
When you configure the app, you need to set this up as your backend endpoint. You can also set this up as your HTTP authentication for your security profile.
You don't need to use the Gateway Management Cockpit. Just create an application with app ID:
com.sap.bsuite.erp.ehsm.safetyobserver
and use the above information for the backend and security profiles.
That's all!

SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role

Hi All SAP Experts!!!
Seeking help from all of you for enlighten me with inputs for enabling me to take next step as a SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role.
Quick information about myself, I am 43 year young guy, have done my Masters in Chem, Post Graduate Diploma in Safety Health and Environment, Certification in NEBOSH-International General Occupational Health & Safety, Lead Auditor of ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 with 20+ years of industrial experience of implementation of Safety Health and Environmental Management in various industries (Engineering, Oil & Gas, Automobile, Automotive, Chemical, Facility Management & Infrastructure at India, Middle East, South Africa & US) by working and auditing them for respective EHS Standards.
As I have personally used and witnessed usage of many of the EHS related software which were ERP/ SAP based and found them very useful for making an fool-proof arrangement for effective EHS implementation. I did found some of the functional improvements areas during usage of the same i.e. by deploying EHS best practices I have witnessed at other industries directly or through software which will finally benefit the end-user and hence for the society too.
Following are my queries -
1. What can be the career path for person like me, who is having EHS functional knowledge & experience but does not have direct SAP implementation related experience and certification?
2. What are the minimal certification and qualification I will be requiring before switching to SAP Functional Consultant Role?
3. Who can be some of the best employer for me start this role?
Any other information, suggestions and inputs in this regards are more than welcome.
Thanking you all for the help and guidance you are going to provide.

Dear Sameer
your questions are discussed very often in this FORUM. Hi, is such an example, but you will a lot of more similar examples.
E.g.:
sap - ehs career guidence
SAP PLM: Career outlook of EHS
SAP EHS
EHS- for Oil & Gas
What is the Job Market for SAP EHS in India
SAP-EHS for Safety Officer (Oil&Gas) with BSc.Computer Science graduation
Expectations from freshers (SAP-EHS) Consultant,Basic Interview Questions?
Need Career Advice
SAP EHS Professional
Need Expert Advise
Need Suggestions...
SAP niche domains with better future prospects
To All The SAP Mentors
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions please !!
Future Scope of SD for an abaper.
Therefore these are my hints:
Check first: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
Try to understand what SAP is doing (what means which solution exists and which solution is the right one to start with etc.).
To act a functional guy in SAP area you need basic understanding about SAP solutions.
1.) Shortly: there is no SAP certification in place for the SAP EHS solutions.
2.) Career: normally you ned first some basic SAP and SAP EHS training. The SAP training is available nearly worldwide. SAP EHS training is limited. E.g. there seems to be no good training option available in India (has been discussed as well in this FORUM).
Based on you "starter package" (know how) the "SAP EHS end user" option may be is the best. If you know about legal aspects/regulations etc. then by working on that in a company using SAP EHS solutions you will get closer to "technique" For work in EHS environment you need to have knowledge at least in the area (as called by SAP): product safety, dangerous goods management; as these are the "core" topics to cover in a company handling chemistry. On the top: if you have knowledge in the area of "Label Management" or "Waste" topics then you are in good starting position.
PLease check this FORUM. A lot of more threads can be found easily may be helping you to decide to go on.
C.B.
PS: please check first any SCN forum; it took me only "10" seconds (Ok less then one minute; but it was very easy) to generate the list of threads as part of this thread.
