    Hi AnilKumar,
    Find the list is below:
    Q: Role of xi in IS-Retail integration
    Ans: **Business Content Scenario – Retail
    Why using XI in this scenario
    �� A push of ‘message type’ data to BW is required
    �� XI supports quality of service ‘Exactly once in order’ in push scenarios
    �� Stores deliver the data according to ARTS/IX-Retail
    �� XI supports ARTS/IX-Retail
    �� In case the stores deliver the data as flat files they can be easily transfered to XML format via XI
    Business Content Scenario – Retail
    Store Connectivity Scenario
    �� Increase profitability by utilizing POS1 data for
    controlling of retail processes and by understanding
    customer behavior in a better way.
    �� SAP XI as single point to collect POS sales information
    as mass data from (3thd party) store systems via an open
    industry specific interface (ARTS/IX-Retail2 compliant).
    �� Using SAP XI as additional source for SAP BW
    �� improved by Retail POS Data Management to
    ensure better data quality

    Hello,
    If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

  • In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

    In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant .  what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues  in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

    For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
    As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
    10 steps on how to analyze....
    unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

  • In V_V2 the role of Sort Item by date of creation and Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line for the Sales Orders when Material is out of Stock.

    Hi All,
    Good Morning,
    I am working on once Incident for Re-Scheduling Program V_V2 where the user has requested us to change the criteria for determining the priority of Sales Document based on Sort Item by date of creation. Currently they are using the Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line in the Variant.
    I would like to know the role these both options play in the Re-Scheduling program V_V2. I would like to know the impact of both of them and the kind of testing I need to perform to study the behaviour of Sales Orders especially when the material is out of stock?
    Please explain with help of examples.
    Thanks
    Farhan.

    This is not that simple that an example would explain how this transaction works but I'll give you some examples.
    Material A has SO1 and SO2 of 10KG each, stock is 20KG so both quantities are confirmed at today. A stock recount determines a reduction to 5KG. This program would change confirmed quantity of SO1 to 5KG and SO2 to 0KG if:
    Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
    1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
    Material B has SO1 and SO2 with 10KG each but no quantity confirmed, stock is 0KG. A prodution adds 15KG to stock. The program would change confirmed quantities of SO1 to 10KG and SO2 to 5KG if:
    Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
    1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
    I'm assuming a specific configuration, there are many other scenarios possible.

    Hi,
    The Upgrade Project Lifecycle can be explicitly divided into the following phases:
    Phase I:
    u2022     Project plan
    u2022     Test planning
    u2022     Release strategy
    u2022     Resource mobilization
    u2022     Contingency Planning
    This is the Planning Phase of any Upgrade Project. Before beginning, it is highly essential to verify that there is technically a direct upgrade path between the source and target versions on the SAP Service Marketplace including any Industry Solutions. Redefine Business case and Metrics; Establish the Project Plan, then the Agenda for the Project is scheduled, derive the Project estimates, validate the estimate and the resource needs, organise the same. Leveraging the existing processes for development, testing, deployment and transition will decrease the work efforts by 10-30% in contrast to its comparable implementation. Ensure that the scope for Technical upgrades are restricted to the existing functionality and processes, effort is required to confirm if there are any major changes on them based on the review of SAP released notes and documentation.
    Phase II:
    u2022     Gap Analysis between SAP old and newer versions.
    u2022     Identify business flows & custom development for testing
    u2022     Test scripts preparation
    u2022     Business flow testing in Sandbox system
    u2022     Error Identification
    u2022     New functionality Identification
    This is the Analyze Phase of any Upgrade project. Analyze business processes, Identify Application requirements, Assess Process gaps and define a Role based Authorization design. A list of Development objects critical to the SAP Upgrade must be defined with accuracy. All Efforts to identify the interface points and all application integration.Incase, Client has a test model that is recently used then complete the Test Scripts, Expected results and Test data else complete the re-work and re-development of the entire Test Model. A Sandbox instance needs to be created early in the analysis Phase. Performing Sandbox Upgrade to the new SAP version using the existing Development or Production instance will enable us to forecast the new requirements and the changes foreseen in the Upgrade.  It is very essential to conduct SAP Technical Upgrade Assessment and Go-live Functional Check. During Integration Testing, check for unusual long runtimes for Custom Program and transactions; identify any new errors in the existing functionality along with the new functionality that needs to be added.
    Phase III:
    u2022     Determine Resolution for Gaps
    u2022     Identify and design the configuration required
    u2022     Determine development work for error resolution
    u2022     Consultant testing in Test System
    u2022     Design new functionality
    u2022     Identify Conversion activities in Productive system
    u2022     Super User Training
    This is the Design Phase of any Upgrade Project. During this phase, Configuration Upgrades are made and minimal configuration adjustments are detected and adjusted during testing. About 10-20% Design effort is required to remediate the errors in the custom report and other Technical developments since there is a change in the standard SAP Data Model and Data Dictionary objects. Here, Consultant Testing plays an important role in the identifying the minimal errors and adjusting the same. Plan Conversion activities since existing data is in place during the Technical Upgrade.
    Phase IV:
    u2022     Configure the systems as per the gaps and errors
    u2022     Implement relevant SAP Notes & Patches
    u2022     Implement Programming Changes
    u2022     Implement new functionality
    u2022     Consultant/Superuser testing in Test System
    This is the Build Phase of any Upgrade Project. Complete the master configuration as per the errors identified and gaps recognized. Build and test the Application components and Technical Architecture through SAP notes and Development changes for the new functionality.Hence, it is necessary to install all the environments needed to support the Upgrade environment. Prepare training material and all the documentation that is necessary for the Enduser/Superuser training in the Test System.
    Phase V:
    u2022     Final Superuser testing and confirmation
    u2022     Resolution of errors identified in Super user testing
    This is the Test Phase of any Upgrade Project. Application testing and Integration testing should be completed in full in order to ensure that Upgrade relevant changes works in tune with the Business Processes. Super Users play an important role in testing the same and reporting any new unforeseen errors but at the same time responsibility lies within the Consultants and the Technical Team to ensure that any functionality not working is not a totally new requirement and is a part of the already existing functionality. This will avoid any time and effort being wasted in a totally new functionality.Hence, there should be a trial run of the upgrade process, including all pre- and post-validation tasks, business continuity tasks, and technical upgrade tasks. This is to ensure the Completeness of the Cut-over strategy, resource allotments and various dependencies.
    Phase VI:
    u2022     Transport upgrade relevant changes in Productive System
    u2022     Final Conversion activities
    u2022     Go-live
    This is the Deploy Phase of any Upgrade Project. Plan for deployment. For this, it is highly important to assess Deployment readiness, authorize deployment, Plan a detailed Release strategy to transport the Upgrade relevant changes to Production. The next task in line will be the plan on Conversion of Data and hence Migration to the Production.Normally, majority of the Upgrades stabilize within a week before the actual handoff to the Support Team.
    Testing Management & Control:
    Testing is extremely essential, test scripts should be actual, provided by business. Business should be involved as much as possible, to prevent testing of programs or functionalities that is no more used and ensure that programs and functionalities that are used are also tested. Actual and complete test scripts prevent losing time by ineffective testing and surprises after go-live.
    Testing has to be done with different customers, domestic and foreign in different countries, to detect language dependent errors.
    Print programs in MM (Purchase Order) and SD (Sales Order, Delivery, Invoice) need special attention, because they are very often and very much modified to suit special customer requirements.
    The output has to be tested thoroughly and inspected very attentively. The following needs to be checked:
    u2022     Are all necessary fields printed out
    u2022     Are addresses right and not only with one item line, but with two, three or many.
    u2022     Are the texts printed right, is with languages everything in order etc.
    User acceptance test with real business roles should be done as extensively as possible, because what is functioning with consultant authorisations /sap-all might not be functioning with business roles with much less authorisations.
    Release Strategy:
    Follow a detailed and planned strategy to release transport requests relevant to Upgrade. The transport can start from the Sandbox System.But, before being imported to the Development System; the transport requests can be stored in a buffer. Similarly, transport from Development System to Quality Assurance System and from Quality assurance to Production system follows the same strategy.
    Country Version Approach & Impact:
    Country versions should be given special care to ensure that country-specific deviations and Taxes due to legal implications work well without any issues.
    The Go Live Approach , Follow-up Activities, Critical Success Factors & Deliverables:
    All development should be stopped. Just the minimum of changes absolutely necessary for support should be done, no other new modules or add-ons should be installed at the same time, otherwise the situation can become very complicated.
    Dump analysis is very important to detect errors and these dumps should be taken care of on a daily basis, when testing and after go-live
    User variants /batch job variants tend to disappear or become outdated.
    Interfaces should be tested very carefully, by users themselves, because only they know what they are really doing. The interface might be functioning basically, but for example the search help for material is not functioning at all. It is difficult to compile all such details in test scripts.
    For workflow, a really experienced expert should be involved. Otherwise the search for errors might cost lots of time.Many programs are involved, standard and customer objects and their interrelationship is difficult to see and debug, especially with background processes. And if workflow is not working after upgrade, it might be difficult for customer to find workaround.
    It is good to keep a non-upgraded system until the go-live and intensive care period is over. It is quite often good to see, how customer programs were functioning before upgrade, copying of pre-upgrade programs or methods might be very useful to make customer programs run again, when they are using standard ABAP objects that are changed by upgrade or even no more existing after upgrade. And users tend to claim after upgrade that functionalities are no more working, which never have been functioning, to get them without a change request. All these should be taken care of.
    Hence, I believe that the above mentioned methodology and key points would suffice to ensure a planned and successful Upgrade without any major surprises or chaos.
    Assign points if helpful.
    Regards,
    Sumit

    Hi
    1) ECC to POS : a) WDBM_HPR tcode is use to trigger idoc for assortment list
    b) WPMA tcode is used for triggering idocs for MC based promotion,Merchandise Hirarchacy & mixmatch discounts.
    2) POS to SAP R/3 : data will pass through XI. POS Tlog files will be used by XI to process data into SAP.
    WPUUMS & WPUTAB Idocs will be used to send data to R/3.
    we can check in R/3 by using Tcode WPER for the creation of billing documents & Article documents.
    Error handling :
    1) check in weo5 & in XI monitoring for outbound idocs.
    2) check in we05 inbound & in XI for inbound monitoring.

    MM consultant is responsible for Article creation,maintenace,PO creation,releasing startegy,MC Classification and other settings.

    Hi
              I need the Roles of  Functional Consultant and Technical Consultant in upgradation from 4.6b to ECC 6.0.
    Thanks
    Anto

    Dear Anto,
    In Technical SAP,Upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0- the role of any fucntional consultant would involved integrated with the technical Consultant.
    The phase starts with the technical Patches apply to the latest stack level which will done by the BASIS Consultants.
    Once the System preparation is happened, the next phase is with SPDD phase, Thru this transaction the dictionary Objects-Database elements, database tables and structures of teh latest system can be
    compared with the old system.
    This results in the version modification results between the old and New versions. During this phase the involvement of the Functional Consultant needed for the tech guy, to identify the functional chnages between the two version (Old and New). Which helps for him either to Reset to Original(ie., adopting the new one) or Adopt Modification in previous system(ie., adopting to older functionality)
    Once this is done, the System Upgradation will be done by the BASI, the system will be replaced with new system. At teh end of this phase SPAU phase starts, which inturn reults with version difference in the field namely, Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes an Function Modules. Here too the involvement of functional consultant neede to determine either reset to original or to go with Adopt modification from the older design, as explained earlier.
    At teh end of the, moreover the functional consultant role involved in testing the Entire processes and transactoin in the system for system dump and bugs, in necessity to correct teh same and results with nil errors in production client.
    Also the Zprograms invloved in the older versions, needs to be examined for the actual need, and to be justified with adoption in the newer version or by adopting to the updated functionality in the newer version.
    Hope this may give better clarity in the involvement of the Functional Consultant in the Updgrade project.
