SAP Implementation for Cement company.

Hi Gurus,
I want your help. I have been given an opportunity to implement SAP for Cement company.
Being a basis consultant how should i go about it. I have support exp but  this is my first implementation so i m bit nervous.
Please help me how to start the process...
Regards
Abhishek

First thing you have to check with what kind of system going to install. I mean its DEMO(IDES) or permanent system
Are you encouraging IDES installations for customer use?
its an easy thing. u can do it very easily
Please do not motivate anybody in their way....this may caused to financial loss to customer as well as the vendor

    Dear All ,
                   We are doing SAP implementation for a building construction Company .My client is responsible for building construction .What they do is initially some 10 members of this Company will create a society(Legal Entity)  .They are like promoters for company . They will put advertisement for buying of flats belonging to that society . Then some 20 members (outside) join this society by registering who are actual buyers of the Flats which society builds .
                   Then this society passes a resolution that my client will be the building contractor for flats . After that these 20 outside members will pay the full amount . After this Flats were built then these members will occupy flat ,then after some 4 -5 years of maintenance these 10 core members of society will hand over the society completely to secondary members and come out of the society .
                    Now how we will map this society in SAP  .One society can have more than one project going on . Somebody is suggesting to treat a society as a company code . But we have more than 250 societies . Is it viable . Shall we create plant for each project .

    1) What happens when a company goes through an SAP implementation for the first time.
    2) how the company goes into project mode to achieve success when implementing SAP.
    3) Project Members and what they do:
    Basis Analyst,

    Functional Analysts,
    Integration Manger,
    Technical Manager,
    ABAPers,
    etc.

    Project mode is a state of anarchy between start and End, and being in the state for the longest period woud guarantee success....once you started, there should never be a end

    He wrongly projects and manages filthily

    These are the most important ones, so always have them on board

  • WM Implementation for my company

    My company is using SAP, but for now just use IM inventory management.
    My director want to deploy WMS module for manage warehouse.
    Can any one pls enlighten me, do I have to buy more servers? Material plan in WM ?
    Thanks...

    Hi Harry,
    If you are looking to implement ECC WM then additional cost is not required other then user license as WM functionality is readily available. if you are looking to implement SCM EWM (which is having all the latest functionality, in another word future of Warehouse management) then yes you need to go for new server and other addon cost.
    ECC WM -- Integreated with ECC no additional cost is required other then user license
    Decentralized WM -Separate server is required, user license
    SCM EWM --Future of WM with all the latest functionality, Separate server user license

  • Closing down an SAP implementation for restart later

    OK, this is a strange one, to me at least, but here goes...
    Our company has been using an implementation of SAP for a specific project that is now coming to an end. They want to close down the system completely, but with the option of relaunching it later using the data records that currently exist, but probably imported into a new Enterprise structure. The financial data will also have to be maintained for audit and other legal purposes.
    I've done several SAP implementations but never a close-down like this! From a functional, rather than a Basis/infrastructure, point of view, does anyone know what configuration or other data protection measures we will need to take to safeguard the data and facilitate a restart so much later?  Are there any other issues the company will need to consider? We use ECC6 and FICO (GL/AR/AP/Banks) with COPA, and SD MM
    During the period between the closure of the SAP system and its re-initialisation in expanded form - maybe 18 months later - they will run the functions now done in SAP in an old system. Again, I have done transfers of data from legacy systems into SAP but never the reverse. Any suggestions, other than ensuring compatibility, for this process?
    I strongly suspect that when they look at re-starting the use of SAP it will essentially be a new implementation from scratch, with perhaps some Customer/Vendor/Materials/FICO master data imported, but involving all the stages of the road map. However, if there is anything we can do to help whoever does that then we will. So, any suggestions or information will be welcome.
    Thank you

    Note also that the support provided by Nokia for a particular phonemodel does not require that there is a factory still manufacturing that model. In other words, spare parts can be provided, as well as software updates and support, without factories churning out new units.
    And while Nokia has closed a couple of factories, the company still has serveral that are operational all over the world, and for which no plans for closing has been announced.

  • SAP Implementation in cement industry

    Hi,
    This is my second implementation in cement vertical.In earlier implementation I went with repetitive with QM.Please can you justify which will be the best suitable for cement ,REM or PP-PI.with reasons. 
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Better go for Repetitive Manufacturing.If customer required according to the various order go for Discrete.
    Work centre consider as a line . Each cement grade must have separate BOM and routing. Accordingly must create materials.

  • How to List All SAP Messages For my Company

    Currently, I can only see those messages in my Inbox.   How can I see all messages submitted to SAP for ALL of my user's????

    If you are referring to messages posted on SDN then you will now and forever only see your own there is no link to a group.
    If you are referring to the SAP Service Marketplace I believe it's based on your permissions, in my previous life as a Basis Admin I saw all the messages for all the users but many of the developers could only see their own. Not sure how much has changed since 2004 though.

  • SAP Implementation for POULTRY business need inputs

    Hi all,
    I would like to know is any possible way to implement SAP to a POULTRY business covering SAP CWM (Catch Weight Management) functionalities (like, dual unit of measure, Inventory Accounting (SAP SEM) & Inventory Mgmt (LIME)) without implementing CWM.
    Please let me know if any one of you worked on this kind of requirement.
    Any input is welcome.
    T&R,
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    I'm not worked with CWM but what I know is that CWM is a business function, IS-CWM.
    As I understand is that you need to activate IS-CWM in your system to get the functionalities that you want. I didn't know any other way.
    You can find some information in the help:

  • SAP Implementation Starting

    Hi all
    I am heading an SAP implementation for my company .
    I want to make sure that the implementing company
    delivers a fine and within time and budget solution.
    What are the points that are usually written in contracts
    to avoid delays / bad solutioning ?Pls give me tips as to
    what all I can have as part of the contract .
    All suggestions / Inputs welcome.
    Thanks

    Dear Oops Kooops,
    You question is broad in spectrum. To start with you can refer to some good Project Management books in SAP.
    These are some of the details you can look for:
    Business Goals
    Know how your project will benefit the business, and make sure you communicate those benefits to the employees who will use the technology. Poorly defined goals doom a technology project; well-defined goals help keep all project personnel working together. The system with unclear business benefits is one better left unsponsored and undone.
    User Involvement
    Getting user buy-in requires more than just communicating benefits. It also helps dramatically to enlist users' collaboration in designing or selecting the system.
    To convince business line managers to lend their workers to the front end of a project, executives recommend talking to their wallets.
    Risk Management
    Every I.T. project faces risk, whether it is technical (caused by unproven technology or integration problems) or business risk. Veterans say project sponsors should not only understand the risks but also demand that contingency plans be put in place before the first nail is hammered. But even though risk management is a project management basic, it is easy for executives with little technical knowledge to ignore it because they are intimidated by the technology. Fortunately, they also say technical risk is easier to manage than business risk. If the project hinges on a relatively new technology, it makes sense to build and test a prototype before going whole hog.
    Scope Management
    Keeping requests for new features from derailing or slowing down a project is a step that should be handled by the project manager, but occasionally the executive sponsor has the clout to say no to a request the IT leaders can't refuse.  Besides inflating costs, scope creep can deflate user enthusiasm as the project's benefits are pushed off. Getting the project done quickly is a good goal for the executive sponsor to champion; bells and whistles can be added later, after the initial rollout. "Vanilla is a very good flavor"
    Appropriate Accountability
    No accountability, no progress--that's no surprise. The challenge in IT projects is to hold the right people accountable for the right deliverables. The IS department's job is to hand over the specified level of system functionality by the due date. After that, it's up to the business workers to get the specified business benefits out of the system. And the executive sponsor should make sure accountability is in place to enforce that division of labor.
        Non-IT execs have a tendency to exaggerate the role IS workers will play after a system is rolled out. As a result, it is common to point the finger for system failure at IS. That gives the other employees less incentive to make the new system work.
        IS and business line workers develop a lot more synergy when both feel an equal burden of responsibility.
    Helpful Hype
    Amidst all the spreadsheets, numbers, risk analyses and so forth, remember to add a spoonful of sugar for those who will actually have to use the technology.
    Do let me know in case of any queries.
    Hope this helps you.

    Rakesh

  • Can more than 1 full life cycle implementations be done for a company?

    Hi there,
    Can anybody please tell me if its possible to do more than 1 full life cycle implementation for a company with multiple company codes? From my understanding, SAP life cycle is ASAP methodology, starting from project preparation to go-live. So if I'm implementing sap for 1 company code, I'll be completing 1 full life cycle implementaion. Now if i do the same for another company code, for the same parent company, will that be considered as 2 full life cycle implementation? Kindly help. I'm not so clear about this full life cycle implementation concept.
    Would really appreciate your gekp.
    Awaiting response,
    Fieona

    HI,
             Well I think It is possible but there are two cases.
    If the implementation is in some company code having same business as the company in which initially SAP was implemented and all the business processed are same then in that case it would be called Rollout. In rollout you would only create the Organizational data that is enter prise structure and master data for that company but there will be no new process configuration as all the running process are already there.
    How ever if you talk about the group lets say has two three completely different business for ex AUto mobile and Power and you implemented it initially in Automobile. Now you want to implement in Power generation sector then definately it would be a fresh implementation. In this case the most important is that you will prepare new BBP as all the business process are different. A complete new documentations, new master data , org elements and a different realization phase and testing phase would be there.
    Please correct If I am wrong.

  • SAP  opportunity for IT/BPO services as well as airline domain

    Hi All,
    I need suggestions related to my career path that i am building. I am a consultant having around 4.5 +years of experience in sap consulting. I do for Mm/QM. I have support/implementation experience in manufacturing , process industry who were my clients during my professional tenure. Now i have decided to join a company (actually joined) which is into IT/BPO services ( they manage the activities through SAP( procurement being my part))and also has done sap implementation for airline domain. They do not do any other sap practice other than travel and airline. Now if i tell you , i have joined the company so that i can see how SAP is customized to  match the requirement of IT/BPO services. This is a new domain for me and i think i have lot to learn from it. However i also see that i have the chance of being dynamic (vertical wise) as i have knowledge in manufacturing, process, it services/ airline. So i am thinking of staying and learning the same. But 3-6 years down the line i might again change my job with/into consulting firms/ solution providers. In that case will it be a right decision to stay with this organization and work profile or leave and  move to the previous vertical in which i was (consulting firms/ solution providers)
    Regards,
    SS

    Hi Sen,
    as told by Vev Patra, if you thinks you are gaining knowledge about new things, please stay there because you will get a lot of things to be learn, when it comes to switch towards other side, it will not be a major issues for you, because after some years you will get domain knowledge in various module and your expertise also increased upto a level, and that will be sufficient for a vertical growth.
    But if you are thinking that, there is nothing more to learn, then you can move towards your previous role, as not gaining any new thing, means you are not learning new concepts, and in this way you get struck at one point, which in needless.
    So, it totally on your business aspects, if you thinks your previous role was good, then you can move onto it, but if you are enjoying the present role, please keep it with you, because it will also play a vital role in your vertical career growth in some manner.

  • Year of SAP Implementation

    Hi,
    I am currently working on a research project for a graduate class. I have been attempting to make a sample list of roughly 100-150 global companies that have implemented any type of SAP software since 2000. I have had no issue finding companies that have, but one critical piece of data that I am looking for, that I have been struggling to find, is the year that these companies began implementing their SAP software.
    My question would be, is there any specific location that I can check for the year of implementation for a list of companies that I have?
    Thank you,
    Luke

    Hello Luke,
    I don't think so that you can find year of implementation for all company at a single place. You may find for some company by searching on their website or using the help of Google.
