Difference between BPS, MAP and Integrated Planning

HI Experts,
We have a plan to implement the BPS (Business Planningand Simulation) and MAP (Merchandise and Assortment Planning) in retail.
In our BI 7.0 can i use Business Planning (Integrated Planning) or i need to go for BPS and MAP individually.
Pls suggest me.
Best Regards,
Rams.

You also have BPS in Bi 7. Points to consider:
1. Future development and new functionalities will be deliverred on IP framework, though you can use old BPS in BI7.
2. IP does not some of the features that BPS has, but hoping that SAP will deliver them down the road.

Difference between unit testing and integration testing

What is the difference between unit testing and integration testing in SAP? Is unit testing takes place in Dev client and integration testing takes place in QA system?
Please clarify
thanks

Hello Krishen,
unit testing means veryfiingsmall / the smallet pieces of software, while integration testing checks the overall functionality of applications. Within the AS ABAP the tool ECATT + manual tests is used for integration tests and the ABAP Unit language integration for unit testing.
When, Who, Where tests are carried out is ultimately a personal decision. As unit tests are operate even under heavy development they are often the first choice for developers, but the unit tests can also serve for regression tests over a long period. Integration tests tend too be created and executed in later stages as they require often a certain majurity of the software under test.
Beside the mentioned links you may check out ABAP Unit infos also in the Wiki.

Difference between Material Specs and Inspection Plan

Hi ALL,
Whats the difference between Material Specifications and Inspection plan...?...Why Material Specification is required in QM...?
Thanks & Regards,
Ameya K.

Hi Ameya,
 The first thing is that material spec is the client level data in QM where as Inspection plan is the plant level.

Case 1: Suppose that there is an attribute Viscosity whivh needs to be checked whose UCL & LCL is 10 to 15. But in one plant where some highy precise requirement is there ...... then in that case we want that for that plant for the material viscocity should be 5 to 7 . In that case the requirement of the inspection plans comes in to picture .
Case 2 : The material got one extra attribute needs to be checked for some plant .... in that case we need to maintain inspection plan for that material with both Insp with material spec & insp with inspection plan need to be checked so that during the result recording apart from the attributes in the material spec this extra attribute gets populated from inspection plan
Note : Apart from this as in material spec the data is maintained in the client level the load in the database will be compartively less as there will not be any duplication of data which will be there in case of plant level data for the same material ..........
I hope this will add some info apart from what the gurus has suggested above .....
Please reward points if helpful.....
Thanks & Regrads

Difference between ROAD MAP and FPM Technic

Hi,
I need to develop a web dynpro java application using floor plan manager technique. It should be integrated in the ESS.
Please let me know if i develop the same application in webdynpro abap using ROAD MAP control whether it will integrate in ESS or not.
In case If it sinks let me know what are the functionalities that differ.
Thanks,
Hasini.

Road map technique and Floor Plan Manager Technique, both are different.
The FloorPlan Manager is a tool for constructing WD applications with a similar layout and user interface.
The OIF and the Guided Activity Floorplan (GAF) are the types of FPM.
Editing of a single business object is done by OIF and allows the nesting of header and item details. The GAF, uses a road map technique for the step by step activity to be performed.
The FloorPlan Manager is very powerful because it can be configured using component and application configuration - allowing you to plug in different UI Building Blocks (UIBB) as Web Dynpro Components or Views. The robust nature of the FPM is becasue of the Consistency between applications provided by it.
The Road Map is a UI element in WD used to create your own custom applications.
Pls refer to this link to have more idea -

Difference between Monitoring Process and Integration Process

What is the difference between the Monitoring Process object for BAM and Integration Process object? Both seem to have exactly the same design environment in the Enterprise Services Builder.
Is it so that Monitoring Process alarms only appear in the UWL of the specified user?
Also, suppose I am wanting to create a receive step to wait for the arrival of a message instead of an event (say I want to check a specific message arrives before a certain time, correlating several fields of the message, which is something I cannot do I believe with alert monitoring). Am I able to do this? I cannot see a reason why not, but I'd like confirmation.
BR,
Tony.

Hi,
Thanks for the link! I read through the replies, but it still leaves a couple of basic questions unsolved:
1) Why did SAP discriminate these two types of PI objects at design time - the Monitoring Process and the Integration Process?
2) new capabilities of PI 7.1 are touted as:
Event provisioning and consumption for BAM:
- Local container
- Subscription and handling of business process events
- Milestone Monitoring
So can I only employ event provisioning, subscription of Business process Events and Milestome monioring with a Monitoring process, or can I do that with an Integration Process as well?

Tony.

Difference between France map and Rhone-Alps map

Hello all,
I already downloaded the full map of France.
Does anybody know if I should download the map of Rhone-Alps because it includes more details of that region than France do?
The other option is that Rhone-Alps dowload is just a way to reduce memory usage when you don't need the full France map?
Thanks for your feedback.

Relation between Payment term and Billing Plan

Hi All,
I have gone through series of thread on Milestone billing and the Billing plan concept is understood but still I have a confusion regarding the relation between Payment Term that we maintain in OBB8 and the Billing plan that we maintain. practically both seems same.
For ex. Milestone Linked plan where 30% payment to be received on the completion of X work and 70% on the completion of Z work. what should be the payment term for this kind of milestone billing?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Binita Joshi

Hi,
First there is one major difference between payment terms and billing plan.
Payment terms will come into effect once billing is done, based on the conditions of payment terms system decides whether a certain line item is not due or overdue.
Billing plan on the other hand decides when to bill the first installment and when to bill second installment and final payment etc.
For example:
for a order with billing plan has total value of INR 1000
date                         Mile stone             percentage        Amount
21.10.2011             Advance               10%                       100
31.10.2011             installation              30 %                     300
15.11.2011             Handing over         40 %                    400
30.11.2011             Final invoice           20%                      200
System will create 4 invoices according to billing plan.
Once the bill is created according to payment terms FBL5n will show the status as not due/ overdue
Hope this helps.

Sharan

What is the difference between Message Monitoring and End-to-End monitoring

Hi experts,what is the difference between Message Monitoring and End-to-End monitoring? and What is the difference between Value Mapping and Fix value?
Thanks,

HII
You use message monitoring in the following cases:
● To track the status of messages
● To find errors that have occurred and establish what caused them
Check this help for further info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2f/4e313f8815d036e10000000a114084/content.htm
You use end-to-end monitoring in the following cases:
● If you want to monitor message processing steps in a number of SAP components (to be configured).
● If you want to monitor the path of individual messages through these SAP components, from start to end.
Check this help for further info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/82/9e8dfe9eadbd4b9194c433e646b84e/content.htm

End-to-end monitoring includes message monitoring, adapter monitoring, BPE if BPM is involved.. so end-to-end monitoring tells you complete description of your scenario......but message monitoring is concerned only with source message coming to target message successfully generated.

Blue Print Preparation:
This is second step in ASAP Methodology. In this step the Project Preparation scenarios are finalised. A out line of the Project is given in this step.
Realisation:
In this step actual development is taken place. The ABAPer is responsible for this step.
Testing:
In this step the development done by the abaper is being tested. This is the area where the Unit Test Document is prepared (i.e. Positive Testing and Negative Testing).
GO live and Support:
This is the final stage where the project is running in the live environment. In this step the bugs if any that are found in the go live procedure are fixed and the project will be considered as support project.

Hi,
Service Map Iview:The Service Map iView is an ERP-specific variant of the portal Workset Map iView. It serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the services of SAP service modules such as the Manager Self Service (MSS) module, or the Employee Self Service (ESS) module.
Workset Map iview:A Workset Map is the equivalent of a site map, providing users with explicit information on the functionality that is available in a given workset. It is based on an iView, and serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the contents of a workset.

Difference between Simple maintanence and Export mode and Organisation plan

Hi all,
Can any one please explain the difference between Simple maintanence and Export mode and organisational plan in SAP easy access.
Thanks & Regards,
Naga

Expert Mode Infotype Maintenance: This interfaces allows you to edit individually selected objects in OM (Org Units, Positions, Jobs) via infotypes.
Expert Mode: Simple Maintenance Interface (PPOM_OLD) is used to quickly create a new Organizational Plan. As a user, you can pretty much maintain large volumes of data very easily ( i.e create several objects simultaneously), without having to go through the more "Performance Intensive" Org and Staffing interface.
In accessing the Simple Maintenance interface to create your org structure, the initial screen requires you to specify which evaluation path you want to create your org structure.
Organizational Plan: This is what provides you with a complete picture of an enterprise's environment. It comprises elements (objects like Org Units, Positions, Jobs etc) which are used as building blocks for creating an Organizational structure.
Need more information? Let me know.
