BPC7.5NW - Work Status SAP Best Practices

Hello Experts,
I would like to get your expert opinion on the Work Status settings.
Usually, we configure work status settings at the Application Set and Application levels.  At the application level, we do the configuration to lock down the data region based on the dimensions present in the Application Set.  SAP help website says that between 3 and 5 dimensions are enough to define a data region and lock it.
I would like to know if there is an SAP best practice, that guides the user about what dimension types to use?  For example, 'C' type, 'E' type and 'T' type, etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
It would mainly driven by your user requirements. Generally you would have entity, time and category in the work status. Entity is used if you want users to set the status to 'submitted' for example, for their entities. Apart from these three if you beleive there is a reason for you to include your datasource for example, you can specify. You cannot use the account dimension though.
Generally Entity,Cat & time are the common ones. Please let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks,
Sreeni

  • Changing a Cube - SAP Best Practice

    I have a situation where a Consultant we have is speaking of a SAP Best Practice but cannot provide any documentation support the claim.
    The situation is that a change has been made in BW Dev to a KF (changed the datatype).  Of course the transport fails in the BW QA system.  OSS note 125499 suggest activating the object manually. 
    To do I will need to open up the system for changes and deactivate the KF in question, then a core SAP BW table (RSDKYF) is to be modified to change the datatype.   Then upon activation of the KF, the data in the cube will be converted.
    If I delete the data in the cube, apply the transport, and then reload from PSA would this work also?  I would rather not have to open up the systems and have core BW tables being modified.  That just doesn't seem like a best practice to me. 
    Is this practice a SAP Best Practice?
    Regards,
    Kevin

    Hello Kevin,
    opening the system for manual changes is not best practice. There are only few exceptional cases where this is necessary (usually documented in SAP notes).
    "Easy" practice would be to add a new key figure instead of changing the data type. Obviously this causes some rework in depended objects but transport will work and no table conversions will be required.
    "Save" practice is to drop and reload the data. You can do it from PSA if the data is still available. Or create a backup InfoCube and use data mart interface to transfer data between the original and backup.

    ASAP methodology is one methodlogy used in implementing SAP .
    The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the following five general Phases:
    Project Preparation, in which the project team is identified and mobilized, the project Standards are defined, and the project work environment is set up;
    Blueprint, in which the business processes are defined and the business blueprint document is designed;
    Realization, in which the system is configured, knowledge transfer occurs, extensive unit testing is completed, and data mappings and data requirements for migration are defined;
    Final Preparation, in which final integration testing, stress testing, and conversion testing are conducted, and all end users are trained; and
    Go-Live and Support, in which the data is migrated from the legacy systems, the new system are activated, and post-implementation support is provided.
    ASAP incorporates standard design templates and accelerators covering every functional area within the system, as well as supporting all implementation processes. Complementing the ASAP accelerators, the project manager can create a comprehensive project plan, covering the overall project, project staffing plan, and each sub-process such as system testing, communication and data migration. Milestones are set for every work path, and progress is carefully tracked by the project management team.
    Hope it will help you.

  • SAP Best Practice Baseline upgrade.

    Dear All,
    Im quite confuse here. I install SAP BP Baseline v1.603 (Malaysia) using system copy. Everything working find and now i try to upgrade it to SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4..May i know is it possible to upgrade to EHP4 for this best practices because i cannot see the content upgrade for EHP4 available for Malaysia. Can i use SAPEhpi to upgrade it to EHP4? or maybe SAP Best practices not allowed to upgrade to EHP4.
    Thank you

    Dear Muhamad,
    It is possible to upgrade to EHP4.
    SAP BP Baseline v1.603 is based on ERP6.0 EHP3.
    You can refer to the following comments in note 1301301:
    In order to allow you making use of functions and features
    provided withhigher SAP ERP enhancement package versions, in a
    system upfront set-up via SAP BP package activation based at
    least on "SAP ERP 6.03", please follow the below mentioned steps
    to bring your system to the desired enhancement pack level:
    -  System set-up according to the requirements stated in the
       QuickGuide of the SAP BP package to be activated
    -  SAP BP package has been activated with the required scope
    -  System update using SAP EhPI to the wanted enhancement package
       level
    -  Technically SAP provides a so called "Vendor Key" for SAP EhPI
       updates of systems containing SAP BP add-ons. This is only to
       ensure that the update is technically completed. When SAP EhPI
       asks for a decision regarding installed add-ons, choose "KEEP"
       for the SAP BP add-ons. In the next step a vendor key has to
       be provided.
    For technical reasons, vendor keys are specific for the "start
    release" the update is performed from:
    SAP EhPI updates on system based on SAP_BASIS 700 - column "Key
    (700)"
    SAP EhPI updates on system based on SAP_BASIS 701 - column "Key
    (701)"
    If a vendor key does not fit at all or a software component is
    not listed below, create a customer message on component
    BC-UPG-ADDON.
    SW Component      Key (700)            Key (701)
    BP-ERP05          1831003              2899480
    BP-INSTASS        2056515              2031478
    "IMPORTANT NOTE" :
    The functionality of the already installed SAP BP add-ons based
    on the previous SAP application version - the activation of a SAP
    BP package based on the previous SAP application version - can NO
    LONGER BE USED. But of course the functionality of the new SAP
    application version as such can be used.
    But just as mentioned in this note,
    you can use the vendor key to continue with the EHP4 update, but the
    version BP-ERP05 is NOT compatible with EHP4(note 1226284).
    Therefore, do not use BP-ERP05 on EHP4. You should install the
    latest version of BP add-on version for ERP6.0 EHP4.
    With Best Regards
    Julia Song

  • SAP Best Practices for Fiscal Representative Scenraio

    Hello Friends,
    Need your inputs to understand the SAP best practices to implement the solution . Currently we are doing the implentation for one of european client. During the requirement, we identified the unique requirement which is common in european business, and the requirement is billing to fiscal representative and also from fiscal representative. The representation of the process is -
    A Company not established in a countries where company needs to engage a transactions subject to the local VAT such as: building services, storage, events, imports carried out in this state in the name of main company and any operation of "purchase/resale" carried out in this state. To do such transactions, company obligation to register for VAT in the concerned state or country with a local VAT number.
    To obtain this, Company order appoints a Fiscal Representative who:
    a. Ensures Company for tax legislation and allows to answer the obligations as regards to local VAT .
    b. Deals with the VAT declarations including the requests for refunding and Intrastate.
    c. Manages the registration near the tax authorities, Company VAT Balance, the follow-up of the payments of VAT .
    d. Takes care for any correspondence with the local tax authorities, including in the event of tax control.
    These representatives are also responsible for billing intercompany customers and also final customers for the local tax obligations.
    Business Requirement -
    Client need to setup a fiscal representatives in ECC wherever applicable other than company code country
    These representatives having a separate VAT number per country
    These representatives do operations on behalf of main company code in the countries
    Example scenario -
    Business Case 1
    There are two company codes, A100 in ITALY and A200 in Switzerland
    A200 appoints a fiscal representative in Italy for Italian operations
    A100 supply the goods to A200 but the intercompany bill is raised between A100 to A200's fiscal representative in Italy.
    By our internal observation and the ground work, we confirm that the SAP Plant abroad functionality can be fulfilled for this requirement. However, our customer wants to understand how the other clients are doing and the best practices.
    Thanks in advance to share your inputs
    Best Regards,
    Goutham

    Goutham,
    VAT reporting requirements and VAT solutions found in SAP are country dependent.  Although it is not my area of expertise, I believe the use of Fiscal Representatives is also driven by country restrictions.
    To find any of SAP's Best Practices solutions that are localized for countries, refer to their Best practices sites.  For instance, Italy and Switzerland baseline localized BPs are found
    here
    http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BL_IT/HTML/index.htm
    and here
    http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BL_CH/HTML/index.htm
    There can be additional info to be found in the industry specific sites
    http://help.sap.com/content/bestpractices/industry/index.htm
    The only place I found fiscal representative explicitly mentioned within SAP was in a doc describing a localized Romanian tax report.
    As suggested by an answer to your previous post, there might be some experts on one of the FI forums that could offer you advice.  Try for a start

    Good Luck,

  • SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

    Hi,
    I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
    As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
    The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
    So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
    I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
    Is this a limitation, a by design ?

    Hans,
    The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server.  The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone.  SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free.  Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
    The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.
