Business scenarios for the Steel industry

Dear All,
I need the various business scenarios used in the steel industry for the procurement and inventory management. In case anyone have worked on an implementation project for Steel industry can you please guide me which are the major scenarios common to all steel industries?
Thanks.

Hi,
Here are a few scenarios which I have worked:
1.Steel is usually procured in the form of plates of different dimensions (length, width & thickness).
To capture this, you can activate material class (class 001) for material master.
You can create your own class and have these dimensions as characteristics.
While creating material codes, you can capture the dimensions as characteristic values..
This way, you can maintain the uniqueness of material codes in the system.
2. Steel is usually procured in bulk from various sources, both domestic and imports.
As such, the price of the same material may vary depending upon the source and also when it was procured.
Hence, it becomes a necessity to manage the different lots separately.
You can activate batch management in inventory or better still, Split valuation by batch to handle this.
3. If steel is procured for specific project, then the purchase requisition/purchase order will be for specific Project (WBS element).
   This means you will be working with a/c assign.categ "Q"
4. You can have Order unit that is different from base unit (Stock keeping unit.)
    you can maintain suitable conversion factors for the same.
5. While issuing steel to Production, the big steel plates may be cut into smaller pieces and issued.
    So, you can have a different unit of issue in material master along with conversion factors.
6. If your client is having tender system for procurement, then you can have the RFQ to handle this.
    You can have different loading factors to assign different weightages for vendors while maintaining Quotations.
     You can go for an enhancement to RFQ screen to capture extra fields relating to tender.
    You can have a Z form to output tender comparative statement as per client requirement.
Hope the above info is useful to you.

Business scenarios for daily, weekly and nightly loads!!

Can any body tell some Business scenarios for daily, weekly and nightly loads where we monitor the loads in Production support.
Regards
srikanth.ch

Hi,
It all depends on your business needs. In general on daily basis you will load the SD and MM which will cover all the stock and sales done for day. Generally most of the clients use Lo Cockpit extraction for both the modules. FI chains will run on month end for example the AP(Accounts Payable),AR(Accounts Receivable) chains will be run on the month end.
Some SD datasources : 2lis_13_vdhdr, 2lis_13_vditm, 2lis_13_vdkon - all these to pull billing related data
Some MM Datasource : 2lis_03_bx and 2lis_03_bf.

However when we were Checking the AEX Configuration as per help.sap.com
Check the registration of a business system for the Integration Engine Java in the SLD:
    Enter https://<host>:<port>/sld .
    Choose Start of the navigation path Business System Next navigation step Integration Engine Java <SID> Next navigation step Integration End of the navigation path.
    The pipeline URL must be: http://<host_fully_qualified>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?ximessage=true .
More information: SAP Note 1435392
for us the Pipeline URL is as below
http://<host_fully_qualified>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet
and the rest " ?ximessage=true " is not there.
Also we ran the below wizard
Configuration Wizard: PI Self Test for AEX
and it finished successfully without any issue.
Any Suggestions what could be missing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I found the below SAPNOTE which confirms that the Pipeline URL should be

However on help.sap.com it is different.
Any one experienced the same ?

Advanced Planning for the retail industry

Hi,
First, I would like to know the best solutions for planning in the retail industry and if you can share with me more detail about these solutions.
Second, I want to understand the SCM menu....I know that under the point Advanced Planner and Optimzer are the DP, SNP, PPDS and GATP solutions......but I want to understand the point Forecasting and Replenishment, is it for the retail industry or what it is for?....how does it interact with SAP-Retail or the solutions that you explained in the first point?
Thanks a lot!

SAP has avoided making any recommendations. I specifically asked one of their architects a similar question a couple of weeks ago.
In general the X12 and EDIFACT standards are king within the retail industry. Within the United States X12 has been the default standard for many years and is used by all the giants. Within the European Union EDIFACT is the default standard and is used by the vast majority of retailers. However the UK has a standard which is called Tradacoms. In my experience UK retailers have, when pushed, also offered EDIFACT messaging. It should be noted that these formats are not XML. However many XML convertors exist for them. X12, EDIFACT and Tradacoms are what are commonly referred to as Traditional EDI.
The GS1 standard called eCOM is being increasingly adopted. I do know that Accenture and CapGemini have recently been heavily involved in promoting GS1 and eCOM. This is because eCOM standard is realistically the most heavily backed replacement for the Traditional EDI standards. The several of the largest US and European retailers and manufactures are now throwing their weight behind eCOM.

Industry Standards for the Retail Industry

I want to know " SAP recommends which of these Industry Standards for the Retail Industry?
1.GS1
2.ANSI ASC X12
3.eCOM
4.GSMP
5.EPCglobal
6.GDSN
7.GCI
8.VICS

hi
well talking about the implementation project in CRM
let us assume we are implementing it in BANKING industry
here the requirement is in improvement in the field processing and all the effeciency of the sales or feet on street
so we implement the CRM marketing with CIC
what it will do that we start with first the readiness document that what all are the requirement of the bank and how the company can cope it with the help of CRM
then we prepare the BLUEPRINT to state that the data to be processed will be strucutured in CRM in how many phases or the timely schedule of the roll over of CRM in bank
next up we start with the configuration ,like we have to start campaigns and generate leads for the banks which may get converted into the opportunities
so have to do all the configuration of CRM according to the requirements being given
one thin g i forgot which is very imp is that we do requirement gathering,its pretty imp part of entire process
after getting these only we can do whatever we want with CRm
so after that we realise the configuration in realisation phase then we do those UATs and SITs
this way we phase out the CRM in any sector
just a gist of everything
hope i cleared some air
best regards

Business Scenarios in Consumer Products Industry -- need help

Hello Experts,
I need Scenarios in Consumer Products Industry say for example --P&G what are the practical scenarios available.
Can anybody help on this. I really appreciate the help.
Thanks
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Nilson,
The business processes mentioned can be used for any industry. There is not restriction as such.
These business processes are more relevant for those industry.
e.g. Outsourced Manufacturing / WO Collaboration is extensively used by High-Tech companies. Even the recent enhancement requirements have come from High-Tech companies.
Similarly, Kanban / SMI is extensively used by Automotive. But SMI is also popular with High-Tech.
CP industry is biggest consumer of Responsive Replenishment process.

New business scenario for reapir from customer and sending them to vendor.

Hello team,
We have a scenario where we need to configure in the system -
We recieve a material from my customer for repair.We need to send this to my vendor who will repair it and send them back to Us. On this we recieve revenue from the customer and pay i pay half amount my vendor for the service.
We are following above scenario in SAP as
In the first step
The production team create a serviece order in IW31 for the material that need to send to the vendor, which was recieved from the customer. When service order is created in the back end a Purchase requisition is created.
In next step we created a PO w.r.f to the above PR and we need to send this to vendor on subcontracting so that we can track the material from him after the repair.
The problem is --- When PR is created automatically during serviece order creation (iw31) we are unable to create Po with Item category L (subcontracting) because PR is not created with L.We are even unable to change L in PR since it is created automatically at the background.We ried to change the field at document type in spro. But no luck.
Pls let us know is there any other business process where we can handle this situation or any technical help to change the PR.

L.chaitanya.

Standard WebClient UI business role for the CRM 7.0

Hello Gurus
where can we get the below mentioned thing....i tried in service market place but i did not get
The predefined authorization roles are provided as attachment BP_CRM_ROLES.ZIP to the collective note of this SAP Best Practices version. Download and unzip the roles to your local directory
after dowloading we need to uplaod in to PFCG roles
(The purpose of this activity is to copy a standard WebClient UI business role and to assign a new authorization role to it. The WebClient UI business role is designed to centralize the authorizations, navigations, and content of the CRM WebClient UI.
The business roles will be adapted to the Best Practices scenario scope)
i am struck of ove here
regards
Sreeram

Hi Sreeram,
The roles you want to assign to the user you have to select for your scenario. The best practice role assigned to an user to navigate to the webclient. The other roles you assign to the user to give authoraization for your scenario. If you will go to C04 document you can get the standard roles which will be assigned to one particular user. For the standard user let sal SALES_MAN we assign the standard roles as peer the best practice as SAP_CRM_UIU_FRAMEWORK ,SAP_CRM_OR_ADMIN, SAP_CRM_OR_USER and BP_SLS_MANAGER. If you need other authorization for the user then copy the standard role and assign the authorization manually in transaction PFCG.
Hope this will help you.
Thanx
