APO or CRM Career Options ?

Hi,
I m a SAP SD Certified guy with one year exp. on SAP SD Support and prior to that i have Five years experience as a Sales and Marketing Executive.
But it seems that the in the current market there is very optimal need of SD Consultants , companies are asking for more cross functional or for SD consultant who has knowledge of CRM or APO.
I wanted to ask with my experience of 1 year support, should I go for APO now or shall I gain a little more experience before moving towards APO or CRM?

It is an interesting question you have asked. With just one year of SD support, I am not sure if you are familiar with the internals of SD. (This may sound like a rude remark). It easily takes 3-4 years to criss-cross SD. Some of my friends took one full year to become an ace in Pricing of SD.
On the choice between APO and CRM, the latter is anyday a better choice. Check the traffic in the latter forum and compare it with the former. It is a decent proxy of the market. There are companies in this world who will be focusing their energy on Marketing/front-end side of things rather than the backend of their organization like supply chain. Many organizations have honestly not been able reap tangible measurable benefits out of supply chain products.
Check also the annual report and other investment relationship materials in SAP site(http://www.sap.com/about/investor/reports/annualreport/2006/pdf/2006_SAP_Annual_Report.pdf). I am eagerly awaiting the one for 2007. The report does give feelers on the size of this new dimension market and the kind of development commitment it puts into each of these areas.

Difference between SAP CRM Security and SAP ECC 6.0 security

Hi
I have extensively worked on SAP ECC security but haven't have chance to work on CRM Security.
Can anyone please let me know the difference between CRM security compared to ECC security.
Thanks...

I am sorry to say, but instead of giving the guy a decent answer you are starting a fight or discussion about stupid forum points...
really sad.....
The big difference between SAP ECC and SAP CRM Security (up to release 5.0) was the following:
1) For sure there are very different transaction codes in SAP CRM as compared to SAP ECC in the first place
2) If you are familiar with R/3 or ECC authorizations; then you know that already on transaction code level, the 'allowed activity' is controlled on tcode level , whereas in SAP CRM , in most cases the 'allowed activity is not controlled by the Transaction code, but on authorization object level....
E.g. transaction code BP allows you to create/change/display any type of Business Partner (e.g; sold-to/ship-to/contact person/employee/customer) which is based on the business partner ROLE concept.... anyway...you can control the allowed activity based on different authorization objects.....
another example is business transaction processing...which can be launched by:
a very generic transaction code: CRMD_ORDER
transaction category related transaction codes :e.g.
> CRMD_BUS2000126 for activity management
> CRMD_BUS200115 for Sales processes
Again...allowed activity is not controlled by the tcode, but on authorization object level...
3) As of the new WEBCLIENT UI (which is valid as of release CRM2006s/CRM2007/CRM7.0) SAP also invented an extra authorization layer, which is UI COMPONENT LEVEL and logical links.... controlled by object UIU_COMP.
However, they also introduced the BUSINESS ROLE Concept (e.g; SALESPRO/MARKETINGPRO/...) which defines actually the functionalities, navigation bar, screen configuration, logical links you can use/see within the new WEBclient UI.
Another thing is that instead of using TRANSACTION CODES, as of these new releases, you are actually using 'external services'....so you do not authorize on tcodes basically....but the logic between tcodes and external services in relation to the authorization objects that are checked is more or less the same....
STANDARD authorization setup in the new WEBUI client is therefore controlled by both backend authorizations (not UIU component related) and the UIU_COMP (restricting access to workcenters/logical links/...)
4) Additionally SAP also provides a concept called ACE (which stand for ACCES CONTROL ENGINE)....
This requires a bit of customizing...and the rest is more or less pure customer development, as you will create your own methods where you'll define a logic which dynamically will verify what kind of access you have for an object....
You should now that ACE is actually implemented on top of your 'normal' sap crm security setup....

External access to Portal and CRM B2B

Hi,
We have the sap portal and also CRM Java ..we have deployed the CRM Business package on the portal and used the portal IView to call the CRM java application. What is the best way to expose both the portal and CRM java to the external users?
I know we can achieve this using sap webdisatcher, but there are certain limitation in sap webdispatcher when dealing with two separte host name..so please let me know how expose both portal and crm to the external users.
Thanks

First of all you need to have your network infrastructure in terms of Security Zones, SAP has a standard recommendation that I have always use when possible for growing your landscape and exposing your Solutions to either internal or external users:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9d/44d7bc73ddce4f96f09de874350e78/content.htm
Depending on your security needs you can have 2 portals 1 external facing portal and one internal facing portal, or just 1 portal installed in the Inner DMZ , there is no formula is what your Architects prefer and there are pros and cons in any scenario.
Now answering your question you do not need to expose both instances (CRM and Portal) you only need to expose SAP Portal because the purpose of Portal is to provide a single point of access to your u201Cbackendu201D solutions in your case. So Sap Web Dispatcher will be good choice or you can use a Hardware Load Balancing, if this is for external users then you need HA.
Hope this helps.

Diff between R/3 Internet sales and CRM Internet sales

Hi every body!
Could any body tell the basic Diff between R/3 Internet sales and CRM Internet sales.
Thank you,

Hi Markiv
Just to round that off, the ERP version lacks:
- Rule based ATP (with APO)
- Customer specific product numbers
- Web based catalog management
- Support for further e-Service processes

Users not syncing between Office 365 and CRM Online 2015

Hi,
I added a new user (In-cloud) to Office365 yesterday. Obviously the sync between Office365 and CRM Online 2015 is not working anymore. When trying to log in to CRM it says "You are not a member of this organization". The user is Global Administrator.
I waited for over 14 hours now, so I think waiting for the sync to start is not an option anymore.
Also, I do not use security groups to specify users which should be synced.
Best
Patrick

Did you actually give that user a CRM License? Just adding them to Office 365 does not add them to CRM.

Sync CRM Security with Sharepoint

I am a CRM Developer. We had a requirement to sync security roles of CRM with groups of sharepoint. For that I have create a mapping table where I have mapped CRM security roles with Sharepoint Groups. I am creating a plugin for CRM. We want when a user
is added to a CRM team then the same user should be added to corresponding sharepoint group and vice versa. I have the sharepoint group name and user logon. We want:-
1. If a user is added to CRM then my plugin will check whether the user exists in sharepoint if not then create it.
2. Add user to the desired group in sharepoint. I already have group name.
I am new to sharepoint therefore I will appreciate if someone can explain me in details what I have to do.
Thank you
Regards Faisal

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sync the user between CRM system and SharePoint.
I suggest you can use Client Object Model to add user to group.
For the error message, you need to load the groupcollection firstly before you loop it like below:
ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(“http://foo”);
//get the groups
GroupCollection grps = ctx.Web.SiteGroups;
//load up the group info
ctx.Load(grps);
//execute the query
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
// enumerate
foreach (Group grp in grps)
// do something with each group
More information:
Using the SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model

CRM Security Design Concepts

Hello Gurus,
My Client is in a process of CRM implementation, as a security consultant , I am gathering the data from the business for CRM Role Design.
Can Anybody share their design methodology in CRM Security.
Best practices..
Thanks in Advance
-Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
In CRM CIC, mostly users will be accessing the CRM system via Web client. Generally an ECC or R/3 system would exist as the backend. In CRM 2007/7.0, there is a concept of Business roles (BR) & PFCG roles as described in my earlier post.
Every end user in the CRM would be assigned a Business role. Business role is created by CRM Functional Consultant & is assigned at Oranizational model/level via transaction PPOMA_CRM and corresponding PFCG role would be assigned via transaction PFCG
To create the Business role, matrix for the same would be provided by some Business Consultant in your Project. That will describe the kind of access would be given to the end-user-meaning: Work Centers, Navigational links, logical links etc. You then need to create the corresponding PFCG role for a Business role. If your Organizational model is in such a way that only one Business role is created & assigned to all users, then you need to create several PFCG roles & you need restrict access based on the requirement in these roles. Else if there are several Business roles, then mostly Business roles will take care on the access restriction, then you may need to have only one PFCG role - it depends on how the Organizational model is set up & depends on whether the maintenance burden is on the Functional Team or Security Team
Also if ECC is your backend system, roles need to be created for ECC also & they would be mapped with CRM roles as all backend work will be done in ECC system, so role matrix of both systems need to be mapped by the Business Consultant in your Project, you would then create roles for CRM & ECC system

GATP in APO and Free Goods Pricing Records in R/3

We have set up Free Goods in SAP R/3. These free goods are granted based upon a series of access sequences in pricing.
We also have our Order Entry system using GATP on our APO box. In that APO instance, we have set up a large number of product substitutions to occur at order time.
When an item is ordered that is NOT subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are granted by R/3 and placed onto the sales order.
When an item is ordered that IS subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are NOT granted by R/3.
Why are the Free Goods being ignored after the substitution? We have Free Goods records in pricing for BOTH items, and neither one is granting the Free Goods.
Is this a bug, a feature, or an oversight ?
Any help in this area will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Hi John,
GATP in APO does not supports Free Goods.

hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works..then if i leave it a while and try iy agian its disapeared of my network...i have a bt hub 3 ....any help please ..im not sure if itsa faulty express

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
