Advantage of using SAP XI over webservices to interact with Biztalk

HI everyone,
We have biztalk as integration tool. I would like to know is it feasible to implement Biztalk with SAP XI to communicate with our SAP ECC server. I heard it will be over weight to use both Biztalk and SAP XI coz each will have its own message box and leads to more process time. So we are planning to use Biztalk with SAP webservices. So please let me know which is better as cost wise and work wise biztalk with SAP XI or Biztalk with SAP Web services.
SAP Guys please take some time to provide some useful information. it will be much appreciated.

Ram,
This is a contentious issue.
In principle a middleware to middleware integration is against the basic ideas of EAI. We need to integrate applications and not middlewares, but in reality this is in most cases an inevitable situation.
This blog discusses a similar middleware- middleware integartion ( XI and WebMethods) . Use the tips and tricks in this blogs to understand the issue you need to address , etc,

SAP XI and BizTalk both offer a tight integration of Web Services into the engine and development tools. Using the SAP XI SOAP Adapter enables the consumption and publication of Web Services based on the SOAP 1.1 protocol according to the WS-Basic Profile 1.0.
The BizTalk SOAP Adapter also offers Web Services support based on SOAP 1.1
support and Basic Profile 1.0 capabilities.
Anyway XI and Biztalk can interoperate, you should evaluate the scenario you are going to implement.
Based on transactionality, trhroughtput, communication etc, the following scenarios are in focus:
Synchronous and non-transactional communication
Synchronous and transactional communication
Asynchronous and non-transactional communication
Asynchronous and transactional communication
This leads to eight scenarios overall, as both hubs may act as the initiating starting point of the communication. The choice of communication types for a certain integration process depends on business needs, technical needs and performance considerations.
if it may be useful rewards point are appreciated

Advantage of using SAP product over third party products

Hi All,
I want to know whether there is any advantage of creating SAP product over the third party products in SLD.And if we want to remove Product at later stage can we do that ?
Thanks,

Hi Amit,
Are you talking about creating an SAP product under SLD? For client developements it is suggested to create only 3rd party products in SLD for developing the interfaces.

Advantage of using SAP SRM

Hi,
Could any one please explain the advantages of using SAP SRM over MM module. As per me we can de most of the activities in MM except some vendor related activities (and that even if SUS is used).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lalit

Hi Lalit,
All advantages of using SRM and MM module is in Plan-Driven Procurement documentation on service.sap.com/instguides -> SRM.
Generally planning in APO or MRP in an ERP system calculates the quantity and materials required. This requirement can be transffered to the EBP system. Requisitions from SAP Plant Maintanance or Project System are also possible requirements.
The requisitions are passed to EBP. If the data is complete and unique, purchase orders can be created automatically. If the data is missing, the proffesional purchaser has to complete the missing information in Sourcing or via Process Purchase Orders. An option for the professional buyer is to assign un-sourced PO to an RFQ and send it out for bids.
The proffesional purchaser completes the orders, assings source of supply, add or deletes item.
Once the order is complete it is issued automatically to R/3. XML is the upcoming medium, since the data can be automatically integrated in more and more supplier's systes, or You can send orders by e-mail, fax or print them.
Goods receipt is either done in EBP by supplier via an XML confirmation, by employee who requested the item by general goods recipient or in the backend system. Inventory is updated in backend.
The invoice is processed in EBP manually by the requestor or an accountant submitted by the supplier via an XML invoice, possibly from SUS or backend system.
You can also look in Self-Service Procurement documentation on:

Hi Vegendla
Technology playing a major role in today's business environment. So many companies and corporations have adopted information technology on a large scale by using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to accomplish their business transaction and data processing needs. And in this technology SAP R/3 plays a significant role when compared with other similar tools.
ERP system takes a lead role because of some of the following reasons:
Many large corporations use several different and separate information systems, often because they have merged with and/or acquired other companies with varied systems. An ERP system integrates these separate information systems and results in improved data reliability and processing efficiency. ERP systems are not only used by large corporations but becoming popular with small to mid-sized companies also.
Simplify business transaction processing and thus work load is reduced.
Some of the main advantages of using SAP R/3 are listed below:
SAP's R/3, introduced in 1992, is the most used ERP system in the world.
The R/3 software package is designed to allow businesses to effectively and efficiently operate a variety of business processes within a single integrated information system.
The software is customizable using SAP's proprietary programming language, ABAP/4. R/3 is scalable and highly suited for many types and sizes of organizations and runs on six different platforms.
SAPs R/3 has been designed to be the best ERP system in the four areas of human resources, financial, supply chain management, and marketing. R/3 is also an international product, and meets the local fiscal, language, and tax requirements of most countries.

What are the advantages of using SAP PP-REM?????

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the advantage of using Repetitive Manufacturing. How it will help a particular industry if implemented.
I want to know advantages involved in
Planning (MRP, Capacity), Product Cost Controlling,
WIP calculation, variance Calculation
if SAP PP-REM is implemented
Pavan

Hello Friend ,
PP REM has advantages following advantages-
Purpose
This component can be used for production planning and control in a repetitive manufacturing environment- ie the same product is manufactured repeatedly on the same production line.
You can use repetitive manufacturing as either make-to-stock REM or make-to-order REM such as in the automotive industry, for example.
The goals of repetitive manufacturing are the following:
Creation and revision of production quantities on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and order-specific processing).
Reduction in the production control effort and simpler backflushing tools(with the option of using the full scope of the PP functionality).
Implementation considerations
You can implement Repetitive Manufacturing if the following is true of your production process:
You produce the same or similar products over a lengthy period of time.
You do not manufacture in individually defined lots. Instead, a total quantity is produced over a certain period at a certain rate per part-period.
Your products always follow the same sequence through the machines and work centers in production.
Routings tend to be simple and do not vary much.
Hope this info helps u. Award points if benefitted.

SAP's R/3, introduced in 1992, is the most used ERP system in the world.
The R/3 software package is designed to allow businesses to effectively and efficiently operate a variety of business processes within a single integrated information system.
The software is customizable using SAP's proprietary programming language, ABAP/4. R/3 is scalable and highly suited for many types and sizes of organizations and runs on six different platforms.
SAPu2019s R/3 has been designed to be the best ERP system in the four areas of human resources, financial, supply chain management, and marketing. R/3 is also an international product, and meets the local fiscal, language, and tax requirements of most countries.
SAPu2019s R/3 is very versatile, as it will operate on six different platforms, including the recently added Microsoft NT.
The R/3 package includes several very attractive features like it has a three-tier client/server system. Providing three tiers offers scalability and easier adaptation to the specific needs of large companies and fast-growing companies.
SAPu2019s R/3 is available in 14 different languages (German, English, Spanish, etc.) and also incorporates multiple currency features that provide essential information processing capabilities for multinational corporations.
R/3u2019s modules are organized by the functional areas of financial, human resources, supply chain management, and marketing. While information is entered separately for each specific module, the modules are fully-integrated and provide real-time applications. This means that data entered into one module is immediately and automatically updated and reflected in all oft the functional areas.
R/3 is composed of a single, virtual file structure with no subsystems.
In addition, SAP has released u201CMySAP.comu201D which is software that provides for data interaction and processing connections with the Web.
Financial and managerial accounting tools in SAP R/3 are contained in the financial accounting (FI) and the controlling (CO) modules. The General Ledger function in the FI module provides a comprehensive record of all information needed for external financial reporting. The accounting data is complete and accurate because the SAP system fully integrates all business transactions that were entered from all the operational areas of a company. In addition to the FI and CO modules, the SAP system includes the Investment Management (IM), Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), and Human Resources (HR) modules.
Management accounting tools in SAP R/3 are cost center accounting, internal orders, product costing, and activity based costing, profitability analysis and profit center accounting.
SAP R/3u2019s accounting features are modeled on German approaches to accounting, and thus they are well-organized and very efficient in processing accounting information and providing accounting statements and financial reports.
As stated previously, R/3 offers multiple currency features and a three-tier system that is capable of meeting very high demands from the accounting system for either transaction processing or financial reporting.
SAP was the first to implement integrated treasury capabilities. This attractive feature allows a corporate treasury department to function as an in-house bank by automating the control of cash flow, investment trades, and portfolio management.
R/3 provides check writing capability in its Accounts Receivable component which very few other programs offer.
Additionally, there is equal access to all data in the system. This means that personnel can access financial data directly from a computer screen rather than physically meet with the treasurer, controller, or some other similar person. In other words, R/3 offers real-time, immediately updated reporting.
R/3 also provides for a "single data entry point" where the data entered from any location is instantly sent to all other appropriate modules in the ERP system.
The accounts payable component of SAP R/3 contains four types of transaction blocks namely:
● The audit block● The receiving block● The vendor block● A manual block
These blocks make it much less likely that improper payments will occur.
SAP R/3 is organized with the concept that a business operates as a series of processes, which means that the company implementing R/3 may have to change and reorganize itself to properly fit with R/3 and use it effectively.

Requirements for using SAP Kernel 7.20_EXT, e.g. with ERP 6.0 EhP 6

Dear community,
we want to bring your attention to the important fact that upcoming SAP product releases and Enhancement Packages, like SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 6 and other members of the BS7i2011 release of SAP Business Suite 7, will use the new 7.20_EXT kernel. As we are using fully supported third party software when building this version of the 7.20 kernel, kernel 7.20_EXT allows us to safely support our customers in the upcoming years. Our updated build environments make SLES 11 Service Pack 1 and RHEL 6 the minimum Linux versions allowing you to run SAP Kernel 7.20_EXT. Please take this prerequisite into account when implementing projects that require or allow you to use SAP Kernel 7.20_EXT.
You can find more information here:
Note 1563102 - Linux Requirements for 7.20_EXT kernel
SAP Product Availability Matrix for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
Or directly access the PAM for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP 3 (page 4).

What are the advantages to using SAP Dynamic Documents?

Sorry, didn't realize I had this post in the Objects forum. Posting this in ABAP General.
Posted: Dec 6, 2010 11:58 PM
Hello,
Are there any advantages like portability and others to using dynamic documents rather than list programming.
The SAP provided classes have not been much used by any other SAP delivered programs, and there is less than 10 subclasses. A method CL_DD_DOCUMENT->ADD_STYLE, apparently to add style sheets, has related code commented out. The class CL_DD_STYLE_CLASS, has no methods. And we are with NetWeaver 7.0.
Is dynamic documents something that got left hanging midway, and probably not going to have further developments?
Would you suggest proceeding with dynamic documents for reports, would appreciate your input.
Thank you.
Posted: Dec 8, 2010 7:45 PM
Just in case, if some of you haven't read this thread, would appreciate your replies and suggestions.

I had moved it to the objects forum because it seemed more object oriented.
However, if you want it here, I will leave it. I have also removed the other thread.
