Difference between customisation and configuration

hi solve the problem

Hi,
Configuration - Deals with setting up the SAP system to meet the customer requirements. Configuration generally meets the requirements based on the existing set up available in the system
Customization: It also referes to tuning the SAP system to meet the requirements. But customization may also involve, custom developed objects, user defined reports etc.
Example:
Configuration: Configuring Automatic Payment Setup
Customizing: Having the company logo available on the reports (This requires bit of changing the code)

Hi,
The difference between cutomizing and configuration is:
- CONFIGURATION: we will configure the system to meet the needs of your business by using the existing data.
- CUSTOMIZING: we will customise or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process.
Moreover:
Configuration: Attaching to process flow to the existing one
Customization: Adding new fields/Tables as per client requirements. to customise or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process. It involves code changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes/modifications may not easily migrate to the new version.

Difference between customizing and configuration?

Is there any Difference between customizing and configuration?

Hi Rajesh,
What is Client? What is the difference between Customization and Configuration?
The difference between cutomizing and configuration is:
- CONFIGURATION: we will configure the system to meet the needs of your business by using the existing data.
- CUSTOMIZING: we will customise or adapt the system to your business requirements, which is the process of mapping SAP to your business process.
- CLIENT: A client is a unique one in organizational structure, can have one or more company codes. Each company code is its own legal entity in finance.
Configuration vs. Customization
When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between configuration and customization.The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names,modify drop-down lists, or add buttons. Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization involves code changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to the new version.Wherever possible, governments should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their goals.Governments also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like "modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.

Business Requirement:-
===============
A company may want to allow all of its employees to make purchases up to $10 without having such purchases approved. Another company may have a business rule that each employee’s approval limit depends on his or her position within the organization.
Question:-
=======
How to reach the above requirement?
Is it thorugh configuration or setup?
It must be through configuration and not set up.
Set up is something like one time.. Configuration can be changed depends on your business needs.
Like if your company wants to increases the limit from 10 to 100$, then change in configuration is needed.
Hope you got the answer.. if you want more explanation, please be specific....

Key Configuration differences between SAP and ORACLE Financials

Hello,
After spending good 7 years in SAP related projects recently I started working in ORACLE Applications. I used to be an ORACLE programmer years back. To my surprise the same ORACLE Forms are still very much the heart of the ORACLE UI.
Then I thought what will be the key differences between ORACLE and SAP in terms of configuration elements. While I know a bunch of configuraion items in SAP , I am not sure about the same in ORACLE world. I am not even sure some of the configuration items that are available in SAP exists in ORACLE.
Does anyone know both sides of the coin ? The terminology and design ?
SAP has
Client,Company code, Business area, Functional Area, GL, Posting Key, Document Type.
I am trying to get the details of the equivalents of these in ORACLE.
Does anyone know it ?
For e.g , when you post to AP or AR in SAP , GL is updated automatically. In ORACLE you post to a AP Book or AR Book then Run a batch to move them to GL Book.
ORACLE uses SQLLoader to load data . You can write a PL SQL and update the tables directly, which is not the case in SAP. For dataloads and conversions, SAP uses BDC's ( though XI can be used but its slow).For ORACLE its the good old SQL and PlSQL combo.
What are the equivalents of the configuration elements in ORACLE world ?
Also what are the major differences between these two in terms of designing a financial system.
Does any one know ?

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
SAP ====> ORACLE
GL ==> Book In ORACLE
Document Number ===> Invoice Number
Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

Difference between invoice and billing document

Hi ,
As an ABAPer , I am finding it very difficult to find the difference between the billing and invoice.
If both are different, then how these documents are configured.
thanks
Devi Reddy

Hi,
No difference between invoice and billing document.
But If we want to inform the payable to the customer we use the terminalogy invoice.
Example Credit meomo, debit memo. etc ...
As there is no difference , both have the same document types.
thanks

Office 2013 installed with KB2817430, windowsupdate still finds KB2850036. difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036

Hi,
I've made a silent Office 2013 installer with /admin and put SP1 MSP's in the updates folder.
After deployment under installed updates it shows: Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2817430) 32-Bit Edition
But when I check for new updates, "ServicePack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2850036) 32-Bit Edition" is ready for download and install.
What is the difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036?
It seems that I cannot download KB2850036 and also integrate it in the silent installation.
Another question: Is the updates folder from Office only for servicepacks? or can I put also updates and patches MSP files in here? If yes then i've got a lot of files with the same name and different files sizes. For example After extracting SP1 I've got
the file "proofsp-en-us.msp" which is 10MB and when extracting another patch also i've got a proof-en-us.msp and is 8MB.
So which one need to go in the updates folder?
Can anyone help me out?
thanks

Hi,
As can be seen from below KB articles, KB2817430 only contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Office 2013, whereas KB2850036 also contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) updates for other Office 2013 related desktop products. For example, Microsoft Office 2013
Language Pack, Project 2013, SharePoint Designer 2013, Office Proofing Tools 2013, etc.:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2850036
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2817430
So if you have any of these products on your computer, Windows Update might offer related updates to you.
Regarding the Updates folder issue, you can put any Office software updates in it during the initial installation, such as service packs or hotfixes. A newer patch might make changes to a specific file, you can check the version number of that file, and keep
the newer one in the folder.
Here is the reference you will need:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/05/05/using-the-updates-folder-to-deploy-software-updates-with-an-office-2010-installation.aspx
(Note, it was created against Office 2010, however the steps should hold good for Office 2013)

Differences between Monitor and Decrypt actions in Decryption Policies

Hi Everybody,
Currently I'm working in my first WSA (S170) implementation and some questions has popped up while I was configuring the Decryption policies. The main question here is:
What are the differences between "monitor" and "decrypt" in the URL Filtering options. As I understand the "decrypt" action allows the WSA to decrypt the packet and treats it like a plain HTTP packet applying the Access Policies, malware inspection and so on. Then I do not really know what the Monitor option does, I'm assuming that it does not decrypt the packet and only checks the destination URL and to allow or not the connection.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Jose M. Cortes H.

If you set it for Decrypt, it always decrypts stuff in that category.
If you set it to monitor, then other criteria in the policy are used for whether to decrypt or not, such as Web Reputation...
Here's the flow, which I pulled from the online help:

Differences between MIC and Process control

Hi
Could someone please let me know what are the major differences between MIC and process control 2.5.
I have heard that Process control 2.0 is not being used now.
So could you please let me know what the differences for MIC and Process control 2.5.
Regards
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
the major differences are:
- automated controls (SAP and non-SAP systems)
- UI interface based on NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)
- flexibility on scheduling assessments and tests based on control attributes
- configurable reports and extraction to either .pdf or .xls
- possibility to se configure workflow to send reminders and escalations
- integration with Access Control 5.3, RAR component
- concept of service providers allowing controls to be referenced between different organizations (former MIC orgunit)
- assessments based on surveys (questions to be answered)
- effectiveness tests based on test plan (both tests and steps)

Differences between CRM2006s and CRM2007

Hi All,
Can someone please tell me about the differences between CRM2006s and CRM2007 ?
I want to know particularly what are the additions done in CRM2007 as compared to CRM2006s.
Regards,
Ashish

Ashish,
This has been hashed up before but here are the major differences:
Functional
- Trade Promotion Management Module
- Drag and Drop personalization
Technical
- Editable overview screens
- New NOVA theme
- collapsable left hand menu bar
- Personalization of SU3 user data
- ability to configure screens directly in UI instead of going to SAP GUI however this is still kinda flakey and I prefer to still use BSP_WD_CMPWB.
From a pure config/developer standpoint you won't notice a lot of difference and if you learned 2006s then the transition to 2007 is very seemless .
We ran both releases here, so If you got some more detailed questions let me know.
Take care,
Stephen

Differences between sapr3 and isu

Hi All,
Can anybody explain differences between isu and sapr3
Thanks,
Satya

Hi Satya ,
SAP R3 is for the General industry/Organization.SAP after studying and Analyzing the Fortune 500 Companies came up with the Best Process that suits most of the Industries however For few of the Industry Segments SAP came up with its VERTICALS like IS-Retail,IS-Utilities,Etc which will suit the industry requirement.
Few of the Process and Configurations in IS-Utility will differ from that of the SAP-R3

Differences between C350D and C350

Hello,
what is the differences between C350D and C350?
Thanks

Hi There,
C3x0D was designed as an outbound only box, the idea being that your internal servers would send mast amounts of mail to the C3x0D and we process and deliver.
The main differences are:
1: Multiple IP Interfaces
Deliver from 256 source addresses to minimise rate limiting issues
2: Configurable Source IP per destination
Nominate specific source IP for certain destinations
3: Virtual Gateways
10,000 Concurrent connections, delivery queue per destination
4: Domain Key signatures
Validate you are the trusted source of the mail
5: Destination Controls
Control delivery rates to suit ISP acceptance policies
6: Configurable Bounce profiles per destination
Customize retries and delay periods for differing destinations
7: Message and Content Filters
Apply disclaimers, unsubscribe information and tracking headers
8: Optional Sophos engine
Ensure clean mail only is sent
More information on the support portal regarding C350D, or messenger me and I will send you the pdf.

What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database?

Hello,
anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
Regards,
Balaram

SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
The SQL Server advantages:
SQL Server holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
SQL Server is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
The Oracle Database advantages:
Oracle Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.
