  • QGM for Greenfield SAP Implementation

    Hi All,
    We are doing a greenfield SAP implementation. As of now we are done with DEV landscape build. We would like to utilize Quality Gate Management for Change Management in our project. I have few queries:
    1) How should I define Transport routes at this stage to activate QGM? We have only DEV systems as of now. QAS and PRD would be ready in next few months. Can I activate QGM now with logical component containing only DEV systems?
    2) Once the QAS and PRD systems are ready; How to include them in the existing QGM project?
    Any documentation or input are really appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vivek

    Achieved this using the virtual systems as mentioned in this excellent blog.

    hi,
    I will list out few of critical issues in
    Implementation :
    1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
    2.  Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
    3.  Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
    If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
    4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
    5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
    6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
    cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
    7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
    8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
    9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
    10. Declare go live to SAP Support
    11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
    12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
    13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
    14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
    15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
    After Go live :
    1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
    2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
    3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
    4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
    5. Prepare  a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
    6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
    7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
    8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
    9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
    10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
    Hope it helps.

  • "Case use" technique for SAP implementation?

    Hello all,
    has anyone used "case use" technique for SAP implementation? I mean for standard process, not only developing.
    Any recommendation about it?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Adolfo

    It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
    The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
    Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
    After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
    BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
    1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
    2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
    3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
    The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
    Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
    1) Set the project scope.
    2) Generate the Project IMG.
    3) Generate the BPML.
    4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.

  • 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.

  • Time frame for SAP implementation query

    Hi guys,
    I am a university student and am currently trying to collect some information for my paper on development of ERP systems in industrial companies, particularly SAP. I'm meant to do some field research, but it is proving to be rather difficult, which is why I wanted to ask for some help from people who have experience in the implementation of the SAP system.
    What I'm looking for is the time frame that the SAP system takes to integrate into an industrial firm. Also, the scope of integration (ie how many and which modules were added on top of the core SAP system) and the number of users after the full implementation of the system.
    I don't need the name of particular companies, as I understand that that may be disclosing too much corporate information, but it would really help me if someone could give me a realistic time frame of the implementation process for SAP.
    Thank you, in advance!
    Anya

    Anya,
    Update to your queries:
    size of the company that this SAP implementation took place at:
    Answer : In terms of revenue $200 million +
    Interms of employees 6000+
    HR module in particular - whether it can be fully implemented separately and how long would it take?
    Answer:
    Definately, it can be fully implemeted and other modules may not be used
    Time period - 3+ months as Business packages are available in SAP.

  • SAP implementation of RFC 1738

    When looking over the ABAP implementation of RFC 1738 (don't ask) I noticed that SAP marks the following characters as unsafe and as a result URL encodes them:
    "<, >, “, #, %, {, }, |, \, ^, ~, [, ], `" and ";, /, ?, :, @, =, &" (the ABAP code makes no distinction between the character set types of unsafe and reserved in its validation buffer, but I've separated them for clarity.)
    The code also URL encodes characters LE 0x1F and GE 7F. This seems mostly correct, but it appears to be missing coma and $ which are both a part of RFC 1738 (to the best of my knowledge). I was unable to find a technote on this, but wanted to solicit some feedback on why this might be the case. Am I missing something, or does the SAP implementation of this standard appear to be slightly off? Any thoughts the development community has on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Edit:
    Just to clarify I'm specifically refering to the translate subroutine code in the program SAPLSCMS_URL. It defines the following as unsafe:
    unsafe(23) value ' <>"#%{}|\^~[]`;/?:@=&+'.
    These include all of the unsafe and reserved characters except for , and $.

  • SAP Implementation Process !!!

    Hi Folks,
    I need brief information about the SAP implementation process. As per the ASAP Methodology we have different phases involved in the entire implementation process from Project preparation,Blue print analysis,Realization,Final Preparation and Go Live Support.
    I did not involve myself into implementation. Being a Basis consultant I would like to know what is the involvement of basis consultant in each phase in detail and what are the activities being carry out by a basis team, what would be the avg team size and what would be the duration of the project approximately. I know it depends on the project and modules being used,architecture and all. i just wanted to know the rough details for information.
    I would really appreciate for any useful information.
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi Viond,
    Please find below an elaborated details for SAP Implementaion.
    The ASAP (Accelerated SAP) Roadmap provides the methodology for implementing and continuously optimizing your SAP System. It divides the implementation process into five major phases and offers detailed Project Plans to assist you (Microsoft Project format). The documentation stored at each level of the Roadmap tree structure contains recommendations on implementing your SAP System and links to helpful tools and accelerators. We use SAP Solution Manager for the same and define the steps and this information can be transformed into MPP.
    The implementation of your SAP System covers the following major phases:
    Project Preparation
    In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:
    Define your project goals and objectives
    Clarify the scope of your implementation
    Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence
    Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources
    Sizing for the SAP Servers (SAPS) Important for Basis.
    Business Blueprint
    In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb) older versions and now it has been replaced by new value adds from SAP in Solution Manager, which documents your enterpriseu2019s requirements and establishes how your business processes and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.  In short its As is >> To be its from from functional consultant (mapping of business process) Basis will be involved how and when backup will be taken what 3rd party/vendor will be used, how users will be handled (CUA or normal procedure).
    Realization
    In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation. Major part will be creation of transport requests and transportation to QAS system. Configuration of SAProuter, Solution manager and its various configuration
    Final Preparation
    In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been fulfilled...Final Check.
    Go Live & Support
    In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.
    You can also download an HTML version of the ASAP Core Roadmap 7.1 on [SAP Services Marketplace - ASAP Roadmaps and Run SAP Roadmaps|http://service.sap.com/asap] (SMP login required).
    All the best !
