Hi Harry,
Implementation of GRC Access Control depends on the system landscape you have in your organization.

Diff Between Best Practices & Business Packages

Dear Master
Can u give a brief difference between
Best Practices & Business Packages?
thankx

Hi,
Best Practices : SAP Best Practices provide a toolset that helps IT and functional project team members to quickly deploy functionality in SAP solutions - from SAP NetWeaver, to core SAP applications. This toolset comprises a mix of step-by-step instructions, preconfiguration, sample master data, code samples (where applicable) and end-user training - organized by technical or business scenarios that you might want to implement in your landscape.
http://help.sap.com/content/bestpractices/crossindustry/bestp_based_netweaver.htm
Business Packages : The SAP NetWeaver Portal offers a state-of-the-art portal solution. However, to make a portal useful to all the people it seeks to serve, it must not only provide general portal capabilities, but also content designed specifically to serve users in various industries and business areas.
SAP provides such pre-assembled content bundled as business packages for completing business tasks. In essence, the business packages provide out-of-the-box portal applications that can be easily modified to suit a customer's needs.

Hello Vasudevan,
Unzip the content of the Business Package zip file into some folder. While importing the business package, select the .pkg file in the unzipped folder. This solves your problem.

Best Practice in Scenario

I am currently trying to accomplish the following:
get the Last Weekstamp for the last 6 Months, the following ilustrates how the end result might look like:
Month   | Weekstamp |
2013-12| 2013-52   |
2014-01| 2014-05    |
.... and so on
I have a auxiliary Table, which has all Weeks in it and allows me to connect to a Calender Table, which in turn has all months, meaning i am able to get all weekstamps per Month,
but how do i get all of the Last Week Numbers for the Last 6 Months ? my idea was a Temporary table of some sor (never used one, am a beginner when it Comes to SQL) which calculates all of the Weekstamps needing to be filtered out per month, and than gives
out only values which i could than use to filter a query which contains all the data i Need.
Anybody have a better idea?
As i said I am just a beginner so i can't really say what the best way would be
Thanks a lot in Advance!

What is the SQL version you use? Here is a code to get month end days and week numbers for past few months
declare @dt datetime=getdate(), @months int=6;
with
L0 AS(SELECT 1 AS c UNION ALL SELECT 1),
L1 AS(SELECT 1 AS c FROM L0 AS A, L0 AS B),
L2 AS(SELECT 1 AS c FROM L1 AS A, L1 AS B),
CTE AS(select Row_number()Over(Order by (SELECT NULL)) NUM from L2),
CTE_MONTHENDS AS(
select num,Dateadd(d,-1,Dateadd(mm,Datediff(m,0,Dateadd(month,1,dateadd(month,-num,@dt))),0)) DT from cte)
select year(dt),datepart(wk,dt) from CTE_MONTHENDS

Best practice business process models

We have been using ARIS for well over a year now for realizing our vision for Business Process Management.
Recently, the management has been looking for ways to benchmark, evaluate and compare our processes with that being practised else where in the world, with a view to ensure requisite process controls, automation, transparency, staffing levels and KPI's.
Having said that, we tried to search for ready-made out-of-the-box ARIS business process models (up to level 4) in areas such as Human Capital Management, Supply Chain (Procurement), Supplier Relationship Management and others, but we were unable to find any source. While we did find purchasable ARIS processes for ITIL, but other than that our search had yield no result.
Are we approaching this right? and is there such a source available from SAP or any third-party vendors?

Muhammad Hamdan

Hi Sunita,
The concept of development component are relevent from desing time perspective , at runtime there is no difference whether you create Model + Component + Application in one DC or multiple . The DC concept helps to increase the reusability and guides to have better design of your application . For example if you have model in a DC while your Components + UI in seperate DC . Changes in Model ( Reimport / Delete / ...) could be well abstracted from using DC . More over the same model DC could be re-used at multiple places /DCs.
As far as performance is concerned yes it increases from dc build and application development point of view.
I would suggest to have model in seperate DC as this is better desing approach and offers maintenability.

Survey on best practice Business Intelligence Strategy - Join in

I have created a survey (link below) and will share the results back to this thread. Many of SAP's customers are focusing on establishing or reenergizing a Business Intelligence strategy and platform. Many questions arise and we often wonder how others are approaching the challenges. This is a quick 10 question survey. If the response is well received, we can have follow-up surveys or polls. Please take a moment to complete the survey and respond back with other questions we might add to future surveys.
Thanks.

Looks like there is some interest. Looking for others to take the survey too. Thanks.

SCM Best Practice Scenarios - can't find them on Service Marketplace

I'd like to run Best Practice SCM scenarios such as:
     S24 Vendor-Managed Inventory
     S41 Supplier-Managed Inventory
     S51 Available-to-Promise with Product Allocation
but can't find them anywhere.
In version SCM 5.0 they could be located in the Best Practice Area, but the links are missing now. When I go to the Industry Specific Best Practices (i.e. for Vendor-Managed Inventory), all I see is scenarios related to ECC 6.0.
Thanks in advance for any help locating these.

Chris,
Small world. I live out in Chester county.
BPPs can be lengthy and sometimes take a while to load. They are in MS word format, so you must have a way to read MS Word docs. Also, our friends in Waldorff don't always have their servers up. Sometimes it helps to try again later, or during a period of low activity. I usually have good luck during late afternoon and early evening EST time zone.
Here are some links. I haven't tied to load all of them, but I was successful in the first four. Give it a shot.

SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005

Hi All,
I want to load SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005. I have downloaded the package from Marketplace but there is NO transport file included on it. It only contains documentation. My questions are
1. Does anyone know where I can download the transport file, if any?
2. Should I use the transport file from Baseline Best Practice instead?
Thank you,
Bomo

Hello!
The file should contain eCATTs with data according to best practice preconfigured scenarios and transactions to install them.
Some information about preconfigured scenario you could find here:
http://help.sap.com/bp_waterutilv1600/index.htm -> Business Information -> Preconfigured Scenarios
Under the "Installation" path you could find "Scenario Installation Guide" for Water Utilities.
I hope it would be helpful.

Best Practice: Correct Use Tax Calculation

Hello,
Our company is wanting to find out how other companines handle the below business process scenario involving use tax:
Company orders 100 units of materials for delivery to location A. Tax is calculated on PO based on location A ship-to address in SAP. Once company receives the materials in location A, company then transfer the materials out to location B for final use.
We are wanting to get some best practice business process suggestions for this scenario so that the correct tax is captured and paid based on the final usage location of the materials.
Thanks!

Most commonly used process for this :-
Steps:-
1)Plant A:- Will place the PO on vendor {Material would be the trading material "HAWA} ( You need to maintain the purchasing data and sales data for this material)
2)Plant B:- will place the stock transfer PO on plant A for that material
Thanks,
Vikas Rander.

Best Practice of using ERM (Role Expert) in Landscape

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what is the best practice (choice) of using ERM in the SAP landscape?
1. Creating a role in DEV system using ERM and using SAP standard transport process to transport role to QAS and PRD systems.
OR
2. Creating a role in all systems in ladscape (DEV, QAS and PRD).
Please share if you have any best practice implementation scenarios.
Appreciate for the help.
Thanks
Harry.

Harry,
The best practice is to follow Option 1. You should never directly create a role in Prod system. This is what SAP recommends as well.

Dear All,
We need to generate automatic postings for Sales costs, admin costs in FI. This sums we have on our cost centers groups accordingly.

Best Practices for FSCM Multiple systems scenario

Hi guys,
We have a scenario to implement FSCM credit, collections and dispute management solution for our landscape comprising the following:
a 4.6c system
a 4.7 system
an ECC 5 system
2 ECC6 systems
I have documented my design, but would like to double check and rob minds with colleagues regarding the following areas/questions.
Business partner replication and synchronization: what is the best practice for the initial replication of customers in each of the different systems to business partners in the FSCM system? (a) for the initial creation, and (b) for on-going synchronization of new customers and changes to existing customers?
Credit Management: what is the best practice for update of exposures from SD and FI-AR from each of the different systems? Should this be real-time for each transaction from SD and AR (synchronous) or periodic, say once a day? (assuming we can control this in the BADI)
Is there any particular point to note in dispute management?
Any other general note regarding this scenario?
Thanks in advance. Comments appreciated.

Hi,
I guess when you've the informations that the SAP can read and take some action, has to be asynchronous (from non-SAP to FSCM);
But when the credit analysis is done by non-SAP and like an 'Experian', SAP send the informations with invoices paid and not paid and this non-SAP group give a rate for this customer. All banks and big companies in the world does the same. And for this, you've the synchronous interface. This interface will updated the FSCM-CR (Credit), blocking or not the vendor, decreasing or increasing them limit amount to buy.
So, for these 1.000 sales orders, you'll have to think with PI in how to create an interface for this volume? What parameters SAP does has to check? There's an time interval to receive and send back? Will be a synchronous or asynchronous?
Contact your PI to help think in this information exchange.
Am I clear in your question?

Best Practice in using Business Packages

Hi All,
Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content? Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
or
Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level. For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
Look forward to hearing from you all
Paul

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....
Regards,
John
