Carrier path as SAP Testing for Basis Administrator

Dear Experts,
With my experiance as Basis consultant I would wish to work on SAP testing. I would like to get some suggestions on
- Is that right option as a Basis admin to look for SAP testing.
- How is the market value and carrier path as a SAP testing candidate.
Regards,
Karthick

Hi,
You must stick to your Basis domain and look for testing operations to ensure a stable and sustainable system.
Usually you will have Standard Operating Procedures and you may conduct preventive / proactive tests on regular basis or while the system is changed.
This kind of testing is a pre-requisite for the functional folks to conduct their tests.
Eg: Installation of support pack, enhancement pack and tests weather the installation is successful or not. Usually the system itself will say that the installation is successful, here you can check for dependencies and conduct some extended tests - manual  / automation.

  • SAP Testing for BI Lifecycle

    Hi,
    Could you guide me to SAP BI Testing Strategy and Approaches.
    Regards
    Satish Talikota

    Hi
    Unit Testing: In this we do all the technical tests like testing the data flow, logic in transformation, data loads, query properties etc
    Integration Testing: In this we perform the function test to check that query is giving output which is functionally correct.
    Regression Testing: If we are making changes to existing flow and query, it this testing one would like to test that no existing functionality has changed because of newly added changes.
    Performance Testing: sometimes we write ABAP code in transformations, under this cap you may like to test the data load performance. If data load is taking a long time, you may want to optimize the code and check the performance again.
    Authorization Test: in this you would like to test all the roles have been set up properly and data level access is also working fine at query level.

    Hi,
    You can check the following link and you will get lot of your queries solved.
    http://www.sap-img.com/general/role-of-sap-consultant-in-testing.htm
    Following are the high level roles of testing consultants -
    Prepare Test Scripts
    Validate Existing Test Scripts
    Understand the process for which a test script is created
    Create test data basing on the test script specifications
    Document the test results
    Highlight the failure of the test scripts to the concerned module leads (FI, MM, SD,.........)
    If any interfaces are connected to SAP, check with the interface owners if the data sent from SAP is received in the correct format.
    Secure sign off the test script results from the client
    Understanding the business scenarios
    Organization Structure to incorporate the tune of the script.
    Preparation of test scripts
    Execute and record results to see if it is fine before going to approval.
    Make changes to your test script if required.
    One example:
    What is Test Script (Scenario Testing)
    Header Data
    Step in Process
    Transaction Code / Program (FB60)
    Menu Path
    Description
    Field Data and actions to complete
    Expected Results
    Actual Results
    TPR
    Closing Period
    F.19 Clearing GR/IR Account
    F.13 Adjustments GR/IR Account
    Using of these above two accounts will help us in clearing the balances and adjustments to those respective clearing accounts so that the GR/IR account will be zero balance and the balances will appear in respective reconciliation accounts accordingly the balances will be carried forwarded to next fiscal year.
    GR/IR Clears the following Documents
    GL Document
    Customer Documents
    Vendor Documents
    Assignment Field is important in any document (ZUONR), Amount (DMBTR)
    Foreign Currency Valuation
    Lowest Value Method, If we are in loss then only we will account for it.
    GL Accounts which are important in Testing
    Enjoy Transaction - FB50
    Normal Transaction - FB01
    Document Parking - FV50
    Post with Clearing - F-04
    Incoming Payment - F-06
    Outgoing Payment - F-07
    Document Related
    Reset Cleared Items - FBRA
    Parking Document Posting - FBVO
    Reversal Documents - F-14
    Company Code Clearing A/C
    (Trial Balance purposes) reversal - (FBUB)
    Clearing Account
    Partial clearing Invoice - 100 - Open Item
    Paid - 70 - Open Item
    Balance - 30
    In Partial Clearing you can see 100 and 70 are cleared line items and 30 as balance and if it is in Residual you can only 30 as balance as it creates new line item and you canu2019t see the other cleared line items.
    As no company will use residual clearing as it affects on ageing reports.

    We assume that the customer has not paid at the end of the year you doubt whether this receivable will ever be paid. So you make a transfer posting for the receivables to an account for individual value adjustments using special GL Indicator E and Transaction Code F-21
    Carry forward Balances

    Other than that, it is important to know the following:
    Unit Testing
    When you test every single document is called unit testing.
    String Testing
    One transaction full activity is called string testing . For example Vendor invoice, goods received and vendor payment.
    Integration Testing
    It is purely with other modules and we have to check whether the FI testing is working with other related modules or not.
    Regression Testing
    Testing for whole database. Bring all the data into another server and do the testing is called regression.
    UAT
    When we test any particular document with the user and if it is ok immediately we have to take the signature on the document, which is signed off and can be forwarded to the immediate boss. There are some steps to be followed when we go for user acceptance testing.
    Transaction u2013 Script Writing u2013 Expected Results u2013 Compare with Actual Results
    TPR (Transaction Problem Reporting)
    While doing the user acceptance testing if we get any problems then there are some methodologies to be followed according to the companyu2019s policy and normally as a tester we always need to write on Test Script itself.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Licence for Basis

    Hi
    We currently reviewing some of the roles basis do and are looking to give printer setup to another team. Our basis team has the idea from a course they attend at clockhouse that Basis do not need to have a licence is this correct and if so what category should we list them under?
    thanks
    julian

    Hi,
    If "by having a licence" you mean having to pay a SAP licence for Basis admins, then sorry to stop your dreams but the SAP company is not rich by giving out free licences.
    You have to check your contract with SAP but I can assure you that my company does pay for each basis admin.
    However it is much cheaper than for developpers.

  • What are the sap basis administrator tasks for SAP CRM 7.0

    Hello Guys,
    I am an SAP BASIS administrator. I have never worked on any CRM system.
    Now a days people in market talk much about wheather you have worked on CRM.
    I have  no idea how CRM basis administration is different from the basis administartion of other products based on netweaver.
    I would appreciate if someone throw some light on "SAP basis administration of CRM system".
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Some excellent documentations are available in:- https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/crm-inst (search for the operation guide pdfs, if required you can also check inst/upg docs). User your S user id/password to login.
    From my experience, in practical field most of the issues you will face with qRFC/BDoc message flow handling and JAVA stack administration. Stress on these two areas and go through the guides, CRM admin won't be a major issue.
    Once you go through the basic operation guides and start working on the system then you will come to know there exists many CRM specific trx(SMW02,SMWP..etc) codes and CRM related tables(CRMPAROLTP,CRMRFCPAR.. etc),bgd jobs/reports - which you have to take care at times.
    Thanks

  • How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?

    Seems SOA is overwhelming.
    I am in a big SAP implementation project and on the wall I see many SOA charts.
    However, my daily work NEVER  has anything to do with SOA.
    How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Read all what is available about SOA on SDN. This is the best to do now.
    You can also practice the configuration of a SAP Netweaver system as a producer or consumer of web services.

  • ABAP or SAP Basis Administration

    Hello,
    i want to learn SAP. As modul i don't know, which one is better? (ABAP with Netweaver or SAP Basis Administration.)
    Which one do you find better and why?
    i would be appreciated, if you would inform me.
    Best regards,

    I recommend you to go for SAP Basis , Which is less stressful than ABAP programming with OOPS concept
    What an unfounded statement.
    Which one do you find more stressful?
    Which one earns more Money?
    People don't join a career to avoid stress or to make money out of it (those are just consecuenses). You should consider your options based on your talent, your experience, your ability  to learn.

  • Getting into SAP Basis Administration

    Hi,
    I am interested in getting into SAP BASIS Administration. I am currently working as a Windows System Administrator and have been in the IT industry for over 10yrs and looking for a change somewhat...i have very little programming experience, just some scripting here and there. How difficult is it to get into this area? I live in the U.S. Any companies willing to hire someone for entry level BASIS position or mentor? Thanks.

    Hi Zylan,
    You can refer the below SAP website for authorized training centres in your country.
    https://training.sap.com  (Visit 'Training locations')
    And for details about BASIS, you can refer the below post (especially refer reply from Kiran Kumar).
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/3184501
    As I had said earlier, if you wish to start without training then you need to be part of an organisation where SAP is implemented.

  • Connection test for connectors(SAP R3 system) fail

    Hi,
    I got an EP system and connected to one existing R/3 system.For the same i have defined it in system landscape of EP.System administration ---> system configuration ---> system landscape.In property editor i have deined all the min required properties.
    Application Host       172.16.3.68     
    Gateway Host            172.16.3.68
    Gateway Service        sapgw00
    Logical System Name    ISCCLNT100
    Remote Host Type       3
    SAP Client            100
    SAP System ID (SID)    ISC
    SAP System Number      00
    Server Port            3200
    System Type            SAP_R3
    Trace Mode             1
    The system intially works fine.But when
    1)There are more users it gives connection error.
    2)If there are not much users then also After some time it automatically shows connection error.
    Then when I do Connection Test for Connectors,it shows "X" failed.
    What I usally try to do,I restart the SQL server.
    But this method does not work.I have to restart the EP.Then again the system works fine.
    I think there are something wrong input in the property value of SAP R3 object setting.
    Hey folks can u please help me in sorting out this problem?Why such connection error happens again and again?

    Hi Rajeev,
    Thanks for your answer.Actaully I have miss interpreted the problem.Sorry Problem is not with in the SAP R3.
    Connection problem is like this::
    I have defined a system EPSQL(system alias for MS SQL sever DB)  for my EP instance
    To connect to database.
    The connection tests to the alias is ok.
    But as more and more users try connecting to the db the connection test fails.
    Restarting the SQL server doesn’t help.
    I have to restart the EP instance to get over the problem
    I think there are something wrong input in the property value of object setting.or,EP maintains some timeout or max user info...
    Do u have any solution?

  • XI testing for two SAP R/3 systems with same system id/logical system

    Hi
    We are currently in the process of upgrading our R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and plan to maintain dual landscape for DEV & QA (4.7 & ECC 6.0) for a period  for testing and maintaining existing applications for fixes etc. The second DEV & QA (upgraded to ECC 6.0) are copy of respective systems and these systems are created automatically under technical systems in SLD by auto update (RZ70).
    The question is, can we use the same XI system for testing inbound/outbound interfaces for both the systems i.e 4.7 & ECC 6.0 at the same time.  I am aware of the fact that XI Technical/Business sytems dependent on unique logical systems, so we cannot create new business system for the upgraded DEV-II ECC 6.0 system. 
    For your information, we have two slds (one for XID/XIQ and second one for XIP).
    What are the options without disturbing & maintaining the current XI system set up?
    1) Can we change current Business systems e.g DEV010 to use new technical system i.e DEV-II ECC 6.0 for testing for a period and switch it back to DEV-I 4.7 technical system?
    2) or change logitical system name of DEV-II ECC 6.0 and create new business sytem in SLD without interfering the existing setup and modify/create interfaces to use this new business system?
    3) Do we need to refresh cache from time to time in XI ?
    4) Any other implications
    We will be upgrading XI to PI 7.1 after ECC 6. 0 Upgrade.
    Any views on this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Chandu

    Hi
    Technical System was created in the SLD automatically after RZ70 configuration in the new DEV-II system. We then modified Business System to use the new Technical system and carried out following steps:
    1)     Original Idoc metadata was deleted from XID
    2)     The port definition  was deleted
    3)     A new port definition was created for new system
    4)     The metadata for each idoc type used was re-created in IDX2 , using METADATA -> CREATE
    5)     This brought in all known versions of the idoc segments, including the 7.1 version.
    I have already checked the guides suggested for our upgrade and we are thinking of going ahead with fresh installation and migrating the interfaces.
    Regards

  • Issue in creating Credit Note for road carrier invoice from SAP TM system

    Dear All,
    I am facing issue in creating Credit Note for road carrier invoice from SAP TM system.
    The following steps I have performed:
    1)  
    1)    1) Create Freight order with Amount 20,100
    2)     2) Create Freight Settlement Doc and send it to ECC. Hence PO and SES will be created in ECC with Amount 20,100
    3)     3) Invoice verification (MIRO) done w.r.t. FO in ECC with Amount 20,100 and following entries posted :
    Carrier A/c - 20,100Cr
    GR/IR A/c – 20,100 Dr
    4)    4) Created Credit Note in SAP TM against freight order with Amount 1,010 and transfer it to SAP ECC.
    5)    5)  By this a new PO and SES was created with negative values (with amount 1,010) in SAP ECC
    6)    6)  In transaction MIRO, Credit Memo was created against the freight order.
    7)    7)  By this it is showing value 21,110 by adding the line items of Original Purchase Order and Credit Note Purchase Order as 20,100 and 1,010 respectively.
    8)    8)  By posting this following are the accounting entries which is not correct:
    Carrier A/c – 21,110 Dr
    GR/IR – 20,100 Cr
    GR/IR – 1,010 Cr
    9)    9)  In report FBL1N which is showing the remaining liability of value 1,010(21,100 – 20,100) instead of 19,090 (20,100-1,010=19,090) for the carrier.
    Please suggest how to resolve the issue and get the correct accounting for credit memo?
    Regards,
    Vibhu Gupta
