You have a clear vision and can convey it in a convincing and attractive manner. In addition, you are working hands-on with SAP BW and use the most innovative and efficient SAP solutions.

Functional Consultent Resposibilities

Dear Exprts
need to know what are all functional consultent responsibilities will be for a support project?
can he able to modify approval groups and limit? ( if client want to add some new position and limit)?

Following are the some key points
Functional consultant's role in Implementation

* Mapping the requirements to Application process
* Preparing BP080 Document (Mapping of As-Is process to To-Be Process) and get sign-off from client

* In case, if the issue requires the support of development, then transfer the issue to development team with the inputs. Monitor and help development team to complete the task
* In case, if the issue requires support from Oracle, then raise SR and co-ordinate with oracle support team till closure

Difference between Fresh implementation, Upgrade & Rollout

Hii
How the functional consultants responsibilities & scope of work varies in each of these projects? Like in fresh implementation as we follow ASAP methodology do we follow the same methodolgy in other type of projects also. If we follow the same methodology, what do we do in business blue print stage in upgrad& roll out implementations?Because already during implementation BPO's would have shared their requirements & busines processes & accordingly we would have implemented. But in upgrades & rollouts how the project is done. Please anybody who has already worked on upgrades, help me out in getting a clear picture on how upgarde projects are takled & the responsibilities of functional consultants in upgarde projects.
thanks in advance.

Role of a Functional Consultant in an End To End Implementation (Fresh Implementation)
When you talk about the role of a Functional consultant in an end to end implementation, I think it won't be possible for me or anybody to define everything but I will try to summarize it:
1. Functional consultant is expected to generate knowledge about the current business process, design current business flows, study current business processes and its complication, in all we can say getting through with current business setup. Flow diagrams and DFD are prepared, most of the time in Vision format, all this forms the part of AS IS document.
2. Everything configured has to be documented as per their categories in the form of predefined templates, these have to be then approved by the team leads or who ever the consultant is reporting to.
3. Mapping and GAP analysis is done for each module, I have seen people defining integration after mapping, gap analysis and configuration is done, but as per my experience in implementation, it is a simultaneous process.
4. Before starting configuring future business processes in SAP, the DFD/ERD are prepared, this documentation is called TO BE, which can be also siad as the result of mapping and gap analysis.
5. Sometimes Functional consultants are also expected to prepare test scripts for testing the configured scenarios.
6. End user manual and user training is also expected from F.Consultants.
The project normally starts off with a Kick off meeting in which the team size, team members, reporting system, responsibilities, duties, methodlogy, dates and schedules, working hours which have been predicided are formally defined.
ASAP methodolgy is used in Freh Implementation.
Role of a Functional Consultant in an Upgrade
Upgrade could be an technical Upgrade in which the existing configuration is technically upgraded & then the function Consultant & Abapers do the necessary modification required in the Configuration & Developments. This would be based on AS-IS & TO-BE Study & as per the scope of the project. The Servers / system are completely different, along with different version of SAP.
Role of a Functional Consultant in an Rollout
In Rollout, more or less, the configuration is in place, it is just a matter of extending the same based on requirement. It is possible that there may be small changes required to be done in configuration & developments, which have to be handled by Functional Consultants & Abapers.
Hopefully this information is of use to you.

Rajesh Banka

thanks & regards
venkat

Hi,
If you are hired by a client as fulltime their CRM core team member, then you should be getting involved in all CRM specific project initiatives. Depens on the assigned role, you are going to involve in day yo day CRM specific activities like, gathering business requirements from business subject matter experts, conducting workshops to show the business the CRM capabilities with respect to the business requirements etc. CRM core team member can also deliver the functional consultant responsibilities if assigned to that role.
Whether you should be benifited as a functional consultant or not, depends on the day to day assigned responsibilities. Insist the client management to assign the functional related activities.
Do not forget to reward if it helps,

Bw-apo consultant roles n responsibilities?

hi,
i am a bw consultant.i just want to know what are the roles n responsibilities of a bw-apo consultant.

Hello PADMAVIJAYA M,
I am in a similar role right now. In this role, you might be in charge of any of the following:
1) Design and implementation of components for extraction of data from source systems and loading of data into APO structures. For example, in APO Demand Planning, sales history is retrieved from a source system (e.g. SAP ERP, Oracle, Flat File) and then placed into a temporary InfoCube in the APO server. The data from this InfoCube is then used to load data into the DP Planning Area. It can also be used to generate Characteristic Value Combinations (CVCs).
2) Design and implementation of components for extraction of data from APO structures (and then loading that elsewhere). For example, in APO Demand Planning, you will be in charge of extracting data from the Planning Area (using the datamart interface) and then processing that (e.g. aggregating/disaggregating the data into the required hierarchy level) or loading that to an external BW server (e.g. an Enterprise DW).
3) Reporting (i.e. using BeX)
For example, you might be asked to design reports in BeX that for example, might compute the discrepancy of the sales history VS the forecast..
There is usually a large volume of data that comes from APO and we have to make sure we manage the performance aspects.
In summary, I guess this is "typical" BW Consultant work except that you are dealing with an APO system as the target/source.
Hope this helps
