Please tell me.
It'll be very helpful to me.
Thanks in advance.

Any SAP R/3 implementation is a big effort which is done by a team of experts from different backgrounds, not by an individual. So if you are going to be on a project as technical person, in all probability you will join the team as a member of the technical team during the implementation phase. By this time, the blueprint and design phases would have been almost complete and some standards and procedures with regards to documentation, coding, transports and migration accross systems will have been established.
A team lead will brief you all the requirements of the project as far as documentation standards are concerned and migration of the objects, testing procedures etc. You don't have to worry about that. This will be specific to the project, so you cannot generalize it and apply it to every project.
Now the difference between a new implementation and support is that the first one is new one which goes through the phases of blueprinting, design, implementation, testing and go-live. The support phase comes after go-live. You will just be supporting the production system, in that you will be fixing any bugs in the existing programs or change some existing programs to add some more logic or remove some logic, or write new reports or programs as per the users' request.

Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

Can anybody tell me one of the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
in these modules:-
MM implementation
PP implementation
SD implementation
FI/CO implementation
PS implementation
QM implementation
HR implementation
BI implementation
XI implementation
Thanks and regards
RS

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.

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 !

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.
Regards,
Rakesh

Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation

Dear Friends,
Shall anyone of you kindly let me know of a link or send a document addressing the Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi,
ABAPer is required after installation and business study by functional consultant...
In case of upgrade project, ABAPer is required during upgrade (Basis activity) itself in SPAU and SPDD step.
Otherwise, ABAPer has following role in their area:
1. Business study in brief. (To resolve simple issue and to understand logic)
2. Coding for User exits / enhancements to co-operate with functional consultant.
3. Custom reports / Program developement (Normally print programs and some analytical reports)
4. Upload program implementation thru' BDC / BAPI / LSMW
etc.
5. Interface developement if required. (in case of legacy system integration projects)
These are the major tasks of ABAPer in implementation project.
Activities that form the SAP implementation process are:
1. Project Preparation
2. Sizing and blue printing
3. SAP Functinal development - here abap comes into picture
4. Final Preparation
5. Go live
Have a look at below link. It will give you more details abt the same.

Any step-by-step guide for implementing intermediate event?

Hi All,
I am trying to implement intermediate event in my BPM and so far I have created:
1) An intermediate event
2) WSDL file
3) A message trigger
But I am not getting how to proceed further. In the following document I found that a context DO needs to be used: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0369539-e876-2d10-ef93-8f30e112ee6d?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
But I am not sure which context it is referring to?
Is there any step-by-step guide to implement this? or any wiki link?
Ameya

Hi Ameya,
Follow below steps:
1. Create WSDL file
2. Create an intermediate event in process modeling screen
3. Click on Intermediate event> Properties>Event Trigger
4. TRIGGER Drop Down> New
5. Give Name to your Message Trigger>Next
6. SERVICE dropdown>Select the WSDL created> Finish.
And I suppose they have mentioned Data Object for using it in coorelation condition.
Correlation condition is a boolean test which should be True(default) for the ntermediate message to be triggered.
As there will be mutliple process instances, when PI (in your case) trigger the intermediate event (consume WS) we can give a correlation conditon to check whether it is for the right process instance.
In you case you can store the Request ID in BPM DO, and also request it from PI while consuming WS and validate it in correlation condition.

Unni

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.
