Configuration Vs Customisation

Dear friends,
Tell me the difference between configuration and customisation?
Thanks in advance
N.M.B

HI,
As per best of my understandings :
Customization
- Make to specifications
- Make according to requirements
Conflagration
- An arrangement of parts or elements that are Any spatial attributes (especially as defined by outline)
Now in term of SAP......
configuration cycle
In the BPML, a logical collection of business processes that, once configured, establish an optimal configuration sequence. The configuration cycle represents a milestone and platform that is used to configure subsequent cycles. There is an overlap between the configuring of one cycle and the planning of the next cycle. ASAP provides four predefined cycles as a starting point for you to rapidly develop your configuration and test plans.
configuration case
In ASAP, a business flow with a corresponding set of inputs, conditions and criteria. It is used to configure and refine the R/3 solution
Definition of context-dependent and context-independent existence rules between the elements of a model. Configuration intelligence is required for the consistency check of the model configuration.
Customizing
Customizing for the Graphical Framework refers to visualization attributes of graphics such as bar color, titles, gridlines and so on. Information regarding customizing is contrasted with data such as an object ID or a value on an axis.
Customizing for the GFW is not to be confused with Customizing in the sense of IMG.
Customizing Tools (Techniques)
SAP System procedure which:
tailors standard delivered functions to meet your company's business needs
enhances SAP functionality in the company
installs SAP functions in your company quickly, safely, and cost-effectively
documents and monitors the system settings in an easy-to-use project management tool
You must Customize your initial installation and all upgrades using the implementation guide (IMG).
System settings data consisting of:
Table contents of tables in delivery class C, G, and E (not all).
Project documentation
IMG documentatio

  • How we can configured the customised workflow in BPM

    hi
    can any body guide how the customised workflow can be configure in the server
    thanks
    Roopesh

    An another possibility is to do the opposite to what I just wrote. Upload the true definition to the database an compare with the one you are not sure about via SQL:
    1. Backup the WFT file where the standard/seeded workflow is provided
    2. Edit it and change the name of the ITEM_TYPE. For instance, change it from OEOL to OEOL_TMP (cannot exceed 8 characters)
    3. Upload it to the database with WFLOAD
    4. Compare the design tables for the two if them (WF_ITEM_TYPES, WF_ACTIVITIES, WF_MESSAGES, WF_PROCESS_ACTIVITIES, WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES, etc). If the table provides a VERSION column then the query would need to use a WHERE END_DATE is null (so that you get only the active/current version of the object). A select... MINUM select would do the job.
    I would do this in test though, to avoid a mistake can cause any issues.

  • Configuration

    Hello gurus,
    How will we start the configuration(GL, AP. AR,AM) and what is the process in real time?
    Regards
    Murali

    Hello,
    The explanation can be voluminious, but in brief follow the IMG where defining and assignment of basic configuration can be completed.
    Then take up GL, in IMG and complate the basic configuration like the accout groups, COA,etc
    Similarly complete IMG steps in AR and AP.
    Remember you are only configuring and customising the system to meet the requirements of the client.
    This is simple and just follow the IMG.
    Once the config is done, plan the data migration.

  • Error in Release procedure for PO

    Hi
    I have created a release procedure for Purchase groups and plants. But now I want to add a new Purchasing group to the same strategy. How to do this.

    Hi Garapati,
    Release strategy is configuration in customisation screen. Do not merely do assignment of object via CL20N or CL24N. Though assigning the object would work, but is better to do it in customisation.
    Go to this path: -
    SPRO>IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order (Execute)-->Release Strategies
    Go to: Position>Identify the Group> Identify the Release Strategy code
    (How to know what is the release strategy code? In the PO where a release strategy for this value and characteristic is triggered, you can go to the Header-->Release Strategy tab, you would be able to see that the release strategy is triggered. Simply remember the release strategy code. If you already know the code, ignore this step)
    When the search is complete and located the right release strategy that you want to amend, select it and click on Details.
    Inside, go to Classification. Check that this release strategy contain the characteristic that you want to amend. You would be able to see the Characteristic "Purchasing Group" already maintained. Click on Purchasing Group line and click on "Add rows" icon below, then key in the the Purchasing Group value that you want to add.
    Hit Back, and then Save this customisation.
    Now, the PO release strategy will trigger the Purchasing Group you just added if the PO details entered matched the Purchasing Group, Plant and Document Type value that you maintained for this release strategy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Actions deleting

    Hai All,
    my problem is, some users deleting the actions from IT000 and also deleting the record in IT0001.
    How can i trace , by which user ID and in which date that particular action has been deleted?
    if so, where can i find it.?
    kind regards.
    Dinesh.

    FYI
    There is a program RPUAUD00 provided by SAP which allows us to see any changes that happens to data in an infotype through add / modify / delete. When you execute this this program and specify the employee code and infotype in the selection screen, it gives us details of when the data was changed, who changed the data and what data was changed in a particular infotype. 
    There are few standard infotypes like 0000, 0001, 0002 and few of your own created infotypes starting with 9 (9XXX) for which you are able to see the log through this program. 
    But there are certain other infotypes like 0008, 0581 for which this log is not coming. 
    There are some configuration or customising is to be done so that this log starts generating for these infotypes and RPUADU00 can read it. 
    The IMG menu path is: 
    Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Tools > Revision > Set up change document 
    When you execute this node choose 
    'HR Documents - infotypes to be logged' 
    Add entries in this table to audit more infotypes. 
    Transaction class A is for HR master data, class B is for applicant data.

  • GL Account Field length

    Hi,
    My client wants to change the account field length in the doc entry. Standard account field is length is 16 or 17 digits. Its length has to be reduced to 10 digits.
    How can i do this ?  Can I do this in the configuration (or) customisation ? If it is customisation what are the tables I need to touch ?
    Awaiting for the reply
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    Use Transaction code OB13 to maintain maiximum length of GL account length as 10 apart from this you can also write validation so that if any gl account with more that 10 digits is entered system gives error.

  • Adding fields to Org Hierarchy

    Hello everyone -
    Our client is using the standard HR-OCI and I am working on getting fields added to the HR Org view. The standard fields available in the General settings are very limited. Were you able to add fields if so can you please share how you did it?
    Thanks,
    Sara

    Hi Sara,
    If you are using the Live version then you cannot add any further fields without Nakisa writing some new library files for the application. I would always recommend using a Staged, or hybrid (Live and Staged), version, as these are highly configurable and customisable in terms of data.
    I hope that is of help to you.
    All the best,

  • Sony z ultra 5.0 update issues

    I updated my z ultra to the 5.0 lolipop version,but it is very very buggy.
    1.The wifi is turning on and off from 2 to 2 mins IT IS VERY ANNOYING **bleep**
    2.The camera is very laggy comparing to 4.4
    3.When you have x-reality on and a live walpaper from sony on the lock screen,when you wake up the phone the background of the lockscreen is creepy,the quality is very poor utill i unlock it,and x reality is keeping modifing the colors,it is very strange.
    I want to know what can i do in this case...

    Hello,
    I will only review the negative points of your stock  ROM.
    1) Taking screenshots requires fast reactions.
    2) In the bar, when deployed, you can't edit what you want.
    (WIFI and BLUETOOTH cannot be removed or replaced (a shame).
    But, wonderfully, you will have a beautiful well made menu when you want to replace them,
    I couldn't take a screenshot because when the menu is deployed,
    and when you hit the screenshot button, the menu disappears (issue 1).
    3) This, is not removable as a shortcut, I sometimes do the error of swiping like that involontary.
    4) When I connect my device for charging with the magnetic cable, I always wake up my wife with the sound that cannot be removed, and, we are forced to live with it (she doesn't care, but I do).
    5) No new wallpapers, no new notifications, no new ringtones
    (Say NO to customisations !) (BTW I don't want to download adware apps for it)
    6) I don't like these apps (RED) Why can't we uninstall them ? WHY ? ? ? ?
    (BLUE) I even had to install a Google Keyboard because your keyboard is nearly unstable for french typers, thank you again that we are still able to edit the keyboard...
    7) Why this Google search bar ? 
    Where is the close all tabs button ? 
    Why again putting this useless white bar that nobody uses ?
    8) Even Google Chrome has an edited welcome page with everytime SONY's website... I even had to change that
    9) Camera Photo is sluttering (I really moved the image, but when we take pictures and move the phone, the image that we are seeing is sluttering).
    I won't buy a smaller smartphone as a nexus or whatever with configurable options (because you will advice it to me). I like this device and not the software. I even think that SONY made this intentionally to make pissing of their customers. Nothing is configurable. 
    And, I don't understand why SONY has to touch a clean base of android like that and removing all the configurations and customisations possible ? 
    They could have just put their great camera app, walkman (or not because it's an adware now), please, not their keyboard, no thanks, and some great features of them, like on the GPE.
    Why not letting the coice to customers ? Why always it's you who decide ? 
    And, I won't install a custom rom because the camera is crap, the sound recorded by the camera, shazam, snapchat or whatever is inaudible, but the rest is great... We need developpers to resolve those small issues.
    I'm really disappointed of your bad services, you even took SIX MONTHS to release this and it ain't even acceptable to use.

  • Nakisa Java: Development environment

    Hello,
    We are implementing TVN 2.1 (Orgchart and Succession Planning).  The applications are installed running with Java, on Netweaver CE 7.1.
    This is the first time I'm working with Nakisa on Java but have worked with the Microsoft IIS version.  I have a lot of experience with J2EE development with SAP.
    With IIS, everything was quite easy: the application IIS folder was shared on the network and I could make any modification directly on the server.
    With Java, this is not possible because the application needs to be deployed on Netweaver server, since it's not a Windows server but Unix, we can't share the application server.
    Another issue with java is that any change made via the admin console requires a server restart.   Right now, we need to contact the server admin to get it restarted.  This procedure can be very heavy when it comes to make a lot of modifications or tests.
    With Netweaver Developer Studio (NWDS), I know we can configure a J2EE server and then deploy applications and restart the server.
    Or basis person just explained us that with 7.1, it doesn't seem to be the same procedure.  SDM port doesn't seem to be open and NWDS (7.1) doesn't seem to offer the possibility to configure a J2EE server.
    My question is: Is there any document from Nakisa explaining how to setup a java development environment and how changes can be done efficiently to the application?  How can the Netweaver server be remotely restarted?
    Thanks for your feedback!
    Laurent

    XML files can be changed using the Admin Console or directly (if you know what you are doing and have decoded) and replaced in application directory.  Restart NW CE via Start & Stop of NW AS to pick up changes.
    This is also true for language customisations (custom.xml), XSLT changes, etc.
    HOWEVER, anything changing below WEB-INF directory needs a re-deployment (usually this is done via a SDA EAR file that is deployed using NWDI).  Beware, this will overwrite the application on the server (e.g. if you've created a build in Admin_Config then re-deploy a new version of application then it will overwrite Admin_Config.  In other words, take a backup of any configuration and customisation you've created before re-deploying).
    To answer your Q ... we have been using WinSCP to connect to the Linux file system.  Slightly convoluted way of doing it (you have to copy to local, edit, upload to server).  We have been given a local user to access NW AS so have been doing start/stops ourselves; doesn't take long (<5 secs).

  • Displaying stock and sales orders for aggregated product in Product View

    Hello,
    We have successfully created an SNP aggregated planning scenario which uses CTM to plan purchase requisitions and planned orders at the aggregated product level.  The disaggregation to the sub-product level is working as well.
    We have one issue.
    We would like to be able to use the Product View (SAPAPO/RRP3) to view the sales order and stock information for both the aggregated products and the sub-products. 
    Currently, the sub-products (which are the materials in the stock and sales orders functions in ECC) show the disaggregated planned orders and purchase Reqs, and the sales order and stock information in the Product View.
    The aggregated-products (which aren't included in the ECC sales order and stock functions), only show the aggregated planned orders and purchase Reqs. 
    Is there a Product View configuration which will show the aggregated stock and sales orders in the aggregated product view?
    thanks in advance for any comments and/or assistance.
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah,
    The Product view configuration is available under customisation menu under the below path.
    spro > sap guide > APO > supply planning > PPDS > settings for order view/product view
    Under this, you can configure your customised product view structure.

  • Can I buy a special MBP 13,3'' in an applestore?

    I am going to buy an MBP 13,3'' i7, 2,8 GHz, 128 GB SSD, 8 GB Ram. Do I have to buy it online, or can I buy it in an applestore, where I can get it right away?

    Btw, it will be less expensive to purchase the standard configuration and customise the MacBookPro yourself with aftermarket third-party components.
    Both the hard drive and RAM are user replaceable components and upgrading them does not void your warranty.

  • Disabling the customizing request for GJG1 and GJG2

    Hi,
    Our configurator are customising the data in the 'Change actual distribution cycle for joint venture' segments. For every segment / distribution cycle  change, its prompting the customizing change request. we want to avoid creating customizing request for every segment and treat this as master data. The transaction is question are GJG1 and GJG2 and Tables:  T811C, T811F, T811K.
    Is there a table or transaction where it can disable from creating a transport in STMS  for each change for segment allocation?
    how to change the Assessment Cycles not be a transportable?
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks,
    Sunil

    Sunil,
    ideally in Production , these will be set as non editable , and hence the request is being created so that the same can be transported.
    If this is happening in Dev , how do you want the changes to be carried forward ,
    otherwise if it is in PRD , is it allowed to create local objects in production ?
    This will be a BASIS setting .

  • GRC Overview

    Where can I find an overview of the GRC module that will identify the components and provide best practices and strategies for implementation?  I am also looking for an understanding of resource and time requirements to implement.

    Hi Steve,
    Joseph seems to have pointed you in the right direction of some good documents to get you an overview of the GRC tools and implementation strategies. I won't repeat these but if you do require further details or would like to talk through this feel free to contact me directly.
    With regards to resources, you will need the following skills on your team:
    - SAP Netweaver Skills for the tool installation.
    - Java Skills for the Java components of the application install.
    - SAP GRC Skills for the Configuration of the GRC Application.
    - SAP Security Skills for the configuration and customisation of the RAR ruleset and remediation effort.
    - BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT Skills to hold workshops with the business and understand the key business risks, categorise these and translate these. I am highlighting this one because a lot of people see a GRC project as a technical tool installation but it is not.
    In terms of implementation time, with the right resources, hardware sizing, etc, you can get the tool installed and running within a couple of weeks. The real effort is in the remediation activities that follow on from this, cleaning up your roles and role allocations and documenting and deploying mitigating controls.
    Happy to talk through more.
    Kind Regards,
    Richard
