Business Process for Managing Global Accounts

Hi
I would be interested to know how other people have managed accounts that are Global.
Currently the business in the US are using On Demand and EU are going live in Q1 2010, so I want to define a business process to manage Global accoounts that can then be applied in On Demand. Currently we are not using books
Has anyone used the Parent Account Function?
All Suggestions welcome
E

We use the Parent Account function as we work in Financial Services. I would say its perfect for our world but only use it if you business functions this way.
We have advisers who are licensed through a dealergroup each adviser appears below the dealergroup and both the dealergroup and Adviser have Contacts. All "Prospect" advisers are loaded as Contacts under the dealergroup until they load their first piece of business with the company and then they have an accounts created and i merge the associated contacts.
We also use books to hide accounts and contacts from different departments and users. I would say if you are planning to run this system in multiple countries this is a must.
Sorry that's just my world got abit carried away.

Solution Directory - How to lock a business process for a implement project

We have Solution Directory assigned to a maintenance project and I understand the checkout/checkin process and how it locks the business process in the Solution. What is the best practice when you are starting a new IMPLEMENTATION project that will impact existing business processes that are in the Solution? I know that I can copy from the solution to build the new project, but it doesnu2019t lock the BP from the solution.
I have a new Implementation project, that i want to checkout/pull existing business processes for the Solution Directory.
*How can these Business Processes be "locked" in Solution Directory as they are with a Maintenance project?*

Kelly,
You would use the maintenance project to make daily modifications.
Consider the case of a O2C business scenario. You need to almost make daily configs etc, which get pushed through, such things will go into a maintenance project.
But if you plan to enhance O2C with a CRM front end or include a better planning solution or TPM or something, then you are looking at an implementation project.
Rule of thumb. Short Scale changes : Maintenance Project, Long term/major enhancements : Implementation Projects.
Also In this case to speak about the lock down. Well the Solution Directory kind of takes care of that for you.
I am assuming that you have a solution populated with business processes. So now if you want to enhance it with a new functionality, you would use an implementation project. So when you define the implementation project, and then navigate to Solar01, and try to add business scenarios , ensure that on the Structure tab you select the Solution as the source. This ensures you are copying content from your current, updated, productive solution. Once you do that, the implementation continues on its track, whilst daily support processes are managed with the check-in / check-out functionality of the Solution and the Maintenance Project.
You technically do not need to lock the business processes down, since the Compare and Adjust functionality of a solution will help you identify the deltas between the Solution and the implementation project and you can always make those adjustments post go-live and thus just update the Solution at one shot. Also remember that with SolMan 7.1 the Compare and Adjust functions can be used with Template, Implementation and Solutions in any permutation-combination.
Hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you need any additional information
Cheers!!

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
regards
Sam

Balaji,

Order Related Intercompany business process for Service material

Hi
I am looking for some info on Intercompany Business Process for service material - Order related.
I have created Sales order (ZBOR) copied from standard sales order (TA / OR), a billing document (ZIVA) copied from IVA, an item category (ZTAD) copied from TAD standard.
A material type used is DIEN (Services).
Note 63459 indicated that I have to use a copy requirement 613 for item category ZTAD. The copy requirement 613 was created by copying requirement 013 according to the attached reference.
I did the same according to the note. When I tried to create first billing document i.e. to end customer, its fine.
When I create second billing document i.e. intercompany billing, its going to first pricing procedure and end customer as Payee, which should not happen. Rather it should go to intercompany pricing procedure (ICAA01) and to Internal customer as payee.
Can someone guide me how to solve this issue?

when i run intercompany billing (ZIVA), it goes to copy control routines 613 , buts its picking end customer pricing procedure and payee as end customer , not picking intercompany pricing procedure and internal customer as Payee.
I am not sure what to do with 613 routinees as suggested by OSS note. All is i created this 613 copying from 13.
Do i need to develop the logic of picking correct intercompany pricing procedure i.e ICAA01 , and need to get the right payee and some header information in this 613 routine . which means automatic pricing procedure determination is not done using customization in Order related Intercompany billing . Am i right to understand?
Please suggest me how do i solve this issue.
Please send it to my [email protected] email too.

- Have you went to Settings>Store and signed out and then signed back in?
- Did you by chance create a new account? Apps are locked to the account that purchased them and you have to sign into that account to update apps purchased with that account.

Business Process for Scrap management

Dear,
I would like to know standard business practice for scrap management.
Regards,
Swapnil Vaidya

General Stock Scrapping: Goods Issue to Cost Center
Materials are consumed to the cost center as part of the production or for MRO. Therefore the goods movement financial posting is done via the cost center.
Procedure
1.     Access the transaction choosing one of the following navigation options:
Option 1: SAP Graphical User Interface (SAP GUI)
SAP ECC menu     Logistics  Materials Management  Inventory Management  Goods Movement  Goods Movement (MIGO)
Transaction code     MIGO
Option 2: SAP NetWeaver Business Client (SAP NWBC) via business role
Business role      Warehouse Clerk (SAP_BPR_WAREHOUSESPECIALIST-S)
Business role menu     Warehouse Management  Receiving
2.     On the initial screen, ensure that in the top left corner of the screen, the first field shows Goods Issue and the second field shows Other.
3.     In the field GI for cost center (in the top right corner), enter movement type 551.
4.     Choose Enter.
5.     On the Material tab page, enter any material number H11.
6.     Choose the Items OK checkbox.
7.     On the Quantity tab page, enter an amount, for example 100.
8.     On the Where tab page, enter plant Plant 1 (1000), and storage location Returns (1060).
9.     Choose Enter.
10.     On the Account Assignment tab page, enter a cost center. (Choose purchase and stores, for example, 1201).
11.     Optional: If the material is handled in batches, for example Trading Good,Reorder Point,Batch-FIFO: Enter the external batch number on the Batch tab page. If you do not have a external batch number from your vendor you have to maintain an internal batch number. In this case leave the field external batch number empty and the system creates an internal batch number.
12.     Optional: If the material is serialized, for example Trading Good,Reorder Point,SerialNo: Enter the serial number on the Serial Numbers tab page. If the serial number is unknown, search for one by choosing Find.
13.     Choose Post.
To reverse the posting repeat the steps with reversal movement type 552. Alternatively cancel the material document with transaction MBST.
14.     Optional: Display material document and FI/CO postings.
Ensure that in the top left corner of the screen, the first field shows Display and the second field shows Material Document. The third field shows the material document number from the last posting, if not, enter the material document number. Choose Enter.
Choose the Doc.Info. tab page. Choose FI Documents. If the List of Documents in Accounting dialog box appears, choose the document type. Check accounting postings.
Result
The goods are removed from stock with quantity and value. The goods value is posted to account and cost center.

Business Process for Casting Iron industry

Hi All,
We are going for a implementation for a casting iron industry... can you please let me know what will be the business process required for such industry.
Thanking you all in advance

Hi there,
The BUSINESS process should be determined and explained by the business - this is the purpose of the blueprint.
In the blueprint phase you will build-up an inventory of all the business processes from your client (AS-IS) you can then map them to SAP processes and these become the TO-BE processes.
As to perhaps SAP solution, your project manager should know what industry solution (if any) is being implemented.
I would imagine that for this industry you would implement FI, CO-PA, PP, MM and SD - at least.

Best business process for "small recurring purchases"?

Hi
How is YOUR best practice for procurement of "small recurring goods/services"? Overall we want as easy a business process as possible, although still adhering to basic business control objectives.
Basically we think we have two options:
- MM-based flow with a PReq, PO, GR/SE, invoice reg
- FI-based flow with invoice registration (including our own sap custom developed workflow for GR and cost approval)
Examples of the goods/services in question are recurring costs, such as:
- phone
- cell phone
- broad band services (DSL)
- gasoline
- subscriptions of magazines and likewise
All characterized by being recurring services, almost fixed amount, multiple GR/SE and not "large costs".
Our internal controls (internal audit!) demand that TWO persons should be involved before paying an invoice.
- In MM-flow we do this by having a PReq/PO release procedure (value-based individual limits) plus a GR-requirement. If the invoice then matches PO and GR/SE, accounts payable will simply pay! If not, then AP will contact PO-creator. One of the big advantages of the MM-flow is that the statistics are much better compared to a FI-flow.
- In FI-flow, we have our own workflow functionality, that sends an invoice to the "goods receiver" for GR/SE; and subsequently send it to the "cost responsible for cost approval.
We have been looking at various options:
A. PO of type frameorder with item category B (limit). However, our problem is that GR is NOT allowed. So only "one person" is involved, if the invoice price matches the PO.
B. PO of type frameorder with item category D (service). GR is technically allowed, so everything is OK. Question is how can we help to NOTIFY the requisitioner? A phone bill comes every calender quarter. How to make the service entry "easy to do"?
C. FI invoice (with our own sap workflow to enable GR requirement). However, this way every invoice need approval. There is no timesaving, in case that the invoice matches... And no statistics anyway. We are doing this now ... but it does NOT seem optimal.
D. Individual PO - one for each invoice - same as Z., but of course statistics ok. Takes too much time!
How do YOU handle this business process? Everyone HAVE these purchases, so please comment on this ...
Thanks

You can start by reading this:

Automatic clearing process for consignment liability account?

Hi all,
we have to manually do a FI posting to clear the consignment liability account, but there are 2000 line items, so I'm wondering if there is any automatic clearing process like GR/IR clearing ( MR11) for consignment liability account? Or can we run a program to clear this account?
please advise.

uncheck docs which can be cleared and try , make sure test run is on.
try with other gr/ir as well just too see if this tcode serves the purpose.

Introducing Business Area for Management Consolidation

Our Business has been using Business Area for all management reporting purpose since SAP had been implemented some 15 yrs back in our organization. They do not want to use Profit Center for management consolidation purpose in SEM-BCS. Our Project Manager wants to go with one data basis with one cons area.
I have planned to remove all Profit center related characteristics (alloc cons Profit center, cons Profit center grp, cons profit center, Investee unit- profit center and Partner cons profit center) and introduce Business Area with Sub-assignment role. Under Breakdown category, I will create necessary sub-assignment from comp code GL transaction data to Business Area. I can do legal consolidation in the normal course and with sub-assignment and using breakdown category, I can derive Business Area based consolidation and also I can generate both legal and mgmt reports.
Whether my understanding of the data basis architecture is correct? Is it prudent to proceed further based on my understanding?
Dan & Eugene: I look forward for your feedback.
Thanks in Advance,
Tim

Dan: <i>For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.</i>
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: <i>As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.</i>
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.
