  • Can I implement SAP MM without implementing SAP FICO module?

    Hello all,
    Can I implement SAP MM without implementing SAP FICO module?

    Hi Abhijeet,
    The answer is Yes and No. Yes, if you have a corporate wide Financial System for taking balance sheet and other reporting needs and you need SAP MM for your purchasing and inventory management functions. Even in this case, you will need a FICO Consultant to setup the minimum FI settings. And to build interface to push the relevant data between SAP and the core financial system. No, if you dont have any other system to track the business financials.
    Most implementations will have FI and MM implemented and in few cases, where the corporate wide Financial system is different from SAP, we will have a lean FI implemented in SAP to allow necessary postings.

  • Initial Steps in Implementing SAP FICO Module

    Hi Peers
    I'm a team member in a fresh Implementation for a manufacturing company for FICO. I want to know what are the action steps to be taken before going to implement. Plz help me in how to go about the implementation of FICO module.
    Regards
    Rajaram

    Hi,
    First you need to know the organizational structure of that company because this will be your guide in determining the org units to configure in the system. Second, you should do mapping of business transactions/scenarios. What they want to do and what SAP can do so that you can determine any gaps and find solution to meet the gap. =).

    SUBU

    Hi Subu
    Initially you need to prepare topics wise questions and in the process the data collection should be from 2 sources i.e. Primary - collecting information directly by interacting with the client and the other one is Secondary - from the documents that you collect from the client.
    After formal introduction during the Kick off meeting never directly jump down to interact with the client you need to patiently observe the day to day business process of the client - department wise for the first few days. Do document all the observations that are made by you, this will help you to analyse the gap between the legacy system and std SAP Process.
    The first and the foremost thing is that we need to see on what flatform all the business process relating to Accounting is maintained i.e the software used to store the legacy data.\
    Now I will mention some of the important points that can be used a check list during your interaction with the client.
    1.We are the consultants who need to freeze the Enterprise Structure first and later on the other module consultants will add their respective enterprise elements to the enterprise structure freezed by us. Therefore this process will by itself will take not less than 1 to 2 months. This process is the Typical phase where a lot of interaction/understanding/experience will come into limelight. So be attentive and observe the process throughly, once the Enterprise Structure is freezed and configured we cannot withdraw from the system.
    2. Codification of the Enterprise Elements play a vital role do follow some naming convention. Here coding can be in 3 forms i.e. pure numeric, alfanumeric or pure alphabets.
    3. Identify the chart of accounts that is maintained.
    4. Grouping process of the GL Account According tos Schedule VI of Companies Act 1956
    5. Customer & Vendor Grouping - payment terms maintained - Down payment if applicable - how the memos maintained.
    6.. Collect all the documents relating to Procurement Process right from indent preparation to billing and followed by payment. This is very useful.
    7. CIN plays a very important role regarding this we will have a seperate session in the days to come.
    This is just a beginning and hope this will help you and as the time comes up do feel free to put up questions and I will clarify for the same.

  • SAP FICO Career

    Hi All
    I was thinking of making a career in SAP FICO, please can you suggest if this is the correct decision and how/ what needs to be done for that?
    I am currently working as a accounts staff for a financial services company, I have a total of 5 years of experience working as an accountant (of which I was working as a SAP FICO end user for 3.5 years wiith my previous employer....around 2years back) and I am a part qualified accountant along with a graduation in commerce.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
    Kind Regards
    AR SHAH

    Hi,
    Yes you can go for it.
    For that i will suggest that you take training from SAP authorized education training partner and get SAP FI certificed. This will help you to nurture your knowledge and will make you an SAP Certified Consultant. Being a certified consultant will give u an edge over other FI consultants.
    Being hands on .. and having a domain exp .. will def .. make the certification test easy for you.
    All d Very Best !!!

  • What are the dependencies to implement SAP PM module form Financials?

    Hi Experts,
    Requirement is that the client does not have SAP and now asking for only SAP PM module to be implemented. Can you please suggest me what are all the dependencies we need to consider from FICO and MM  point of view?
    Thank you very much
    Ganesh.

    If a company has implemented SAP without the HR module & now they want to implement SAP HR, will they have to buy a license for that? - Yes they will have to get licences for this.
    If yes, what will they have to pay? - They will have to contact SAP for this and negotiate with them.
    The number of employees working are 500. - The company will have to decide how many ESS licences they want to get and how many MSS licences they want to get. Again for all these ESS/MSS licences they wil have to pay separately apart from the HR licences.

  • From SAP ABAP to SAP FICO consultant

    Hi Experts,
    Hope you all are doing good in your area.
    I want your guidance for my sap career ahead .
    I have 4 years of experience in SAP as an certified ABAP Consultant.
    With  this year of experience I have worked on technical developments of  SAP PP/MM/FICO/SD  modules.
    Now I want to move as an Functional Consultant for FICO module .
    I had started working on the same.
    But my doubt is whether I can go ahead as SAP FICO(ABAP) consultant .
    I have programming background ,PG in Computer Application.
    What are recruiters criteria for the same .
    Can I go ahead as SAP techno functional consultant (ABAP/FICO).
    Need your guidance .
    Regards,
    Jeet

    hi Jeetendra,
    I definitely see no harm in trying to be a FICO Consultant who knows ABAP (or vice-versa). I've seen some really crazy requirements come from recruiters and this combination was one of them.
    Just to give you an idea, I've recruiters asking for ABAP with  BASIS, ABAP with SOA experience, ABAP with SCM, ABAP with PP-DS, ABAP with SLT etc apart from clubbing ABAP with any of the core Functional Modules.
    So yeah, if FICO is your "thing" and you think it will be a cake-walk then go for it.

  • Benefits of implementing SAP GRC AC in Lifescience/Pharma.

    Dear All,
    Would be great if anyone could please share the benefits of implementing SAP GRC Access Controls in Lifescience/Pharma industry, more specifically which all regulations and laws it takes care of.
    Regards,

    Edited by: HERSH GUPTA on Dec 18, 2008 6:04 PM

    Hersh,
    Look for some of the Success stories out there. That should help you. Below is one of it.
    http://www.securintegration.com/fileadmin/redakteur/binary/Success_Story_KRKA_SI.pdf
    I too work at a Pharma client and having AC in place really helps. CC will help the internal SOX and audit team to verify that there are no SOD's. RE can streamline the role change approval process which will be of a great help when you see it from a auditor prospective. (You will always have the right approvals for the role changes a developer makes) and AE will help you reduce the paper work and the biggest advantage is the right approvals. Before using AE we used to have the paper based access request and we used to get a lot of audit issues because of the people approving roles that doesn't fall under their own space. (which will be taken very seroiously if it is a Pharma company.) FF advanages reamins the same across the industries.
    Hope this helps,
    Naveen

  • The Time Limit Implementation SAP Business One Starter Package

    Dear Expert,
    I have read in portal SAP that SAP suggest to implement SAP Business One Starter Package with 2-10 days. Until day, i am not believe that it can do.
    Can anyone give me reference about methodology implementation SAP Business One Starter Package for implementation 2-10 days ?
    Thank's before to Expert who share me many experience.
    Regards,
    -Anggy-
    Edited by: Anggi Rinaldy on Jun 23, 2011 5:08 AM

    Hi Angy ,
    This is not a situation to get worried about how much days it will take for starter Pack .
    For a starter Package , it signifies the VANILA Implementation which is of-course possible in 2-10 days .
    Even after 1 day of installation of the product with a standard SAP Chart of Account
    And 4-5 Days of system initialization ,  you can definitely start making the Master and Start working on it.
    Even if you need the more precise Answer, you should visit the below link , Which will Give you the Clear idea about the Time Consumption requires for SAP Implementation with Full Functionality.
    BUT Always keep in mind that the Time may Vary as per your Requirement , which are different from SAP Standard Functionality.

  • SAP  FICO - Technical Reference Manaual

    Where can I download the user guide and technical reference manual for module SAP FICO?
    Thanks & Regards
    Ravi Kiran

    Ravi,
    I guess you must have overlooked the rules of engagement. It is customary in these forums for questioners to first perform basic research before posting any questions.
    SAP does not supply 'Technical Reference Manuals' and 'User Guides'.  As implied by Mr Bo, there may be similar types of docs publicly available on the internet, both from SAP and also from third party sources.
    SAPs main documentation can be found in their online help. 
    For FI
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/51/df293581dc1f79e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    For CO
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/18/e9293504e1fd77e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    These docs contain both technical and user info.  Neither is easily downloadable.
    If your company is a customer or partner of SAP, you should have a DVD that came with your software, which contains all the help docs on one DVD.  These docs can be installed from the DVD to a PC.  Ask your Basis admin.
    If you are not a customer or partner, these DVDs can be purchased at one of the SAP online shops.  Start at
    http://www.sap.com/corporate-en/our-company/sap-merchandise.epx
    There are some freely downloadable PDF docs from R/3 version 4.6C (this was the forerunner of ECC, which contains the FI and CO modules).  Although a bit dated, much of the data in these PDF docs is still applicable.

  • Need avdises how to become perfect on SAP FICO

    Hello Experts,
    i am new to SAP FICO , i am learning now , but i need your valuable suggestion how to prepare and become Expert like all of you.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
    Regards
    Brahma.

    Hi Cabe,
    You are correct to guess that its no good to copy juss the program as all the includes and stuff wont be working in your system. The best process would be to do a client copy, but i dont think you will have access to it as it will not be given normally by BASIS guys.
    The work around is see what all Z objects( includes etc..) being used in the program which you want to copy and copy them all into your system. That way your problem will be solved atleast to some extent.
    Reward if useful.
    Thanks
