Difference between SAP PM & SAP PLM

Hi All,
I wanted to know about the difference between SAP PM, SAP PLM & SAP EAM(Enterprise Asset Management)
What business purpose SAP PLM serves & is SAP PLM an ECC component or separate product such as CRM/SRM ?
Please anyone let me know .
Thanks in advance .
rgds

Hi,
the difference between PLM and PM is the following:
PM is a SAP component for plant maintenance in which you can plan and maintain equipments, work centers and materials that need regular checking.
PLM is the product lifecycle management in which various SAP components are involved see the thread [PLM forum|PLM Forum;. PLM defines the process of a product from its creation to its end, where as this can be seen as a cyclic process because the end of a product can lead to a new product that evolves from the original product and in which knowledge gained from the various steps in PLM is involved.
I hope that this replies your question.

SAP Web Client: A Comprehensive Guide for Developers
http://www.sap-press.com/products/SAP-Web-Client%3A-A-Comprehensive-Guide-for-Developers.html
I thought that web client were only in SAP CRM ?
I have only done ECC and CRM.
did the SAP Web Client include the SAP CRM web Client ?
As I wiork on SAP CRM, I suppose that the "SAP CRM Web Client Customizing and Development" would be the better choice.
Best Regards.
Abdou BOURAKBA

"SAP CRM Web Client Customizing and Development" is an older release is more focused on the functional/technical customizing of the Web Client and "SAP Web Client: A Comprehensive Guide for Developers" if purely focused on development. I purchased both and I think are very complementary.
I thought that web client were only in SAP CRM ?
From ECC ehp4 (I belive) WebClient was shipped as part of the Netweaver solution.
did the SAP Web Client include the SAP CRM web Client ?
Are the same, when SAP decided to include Web Client as part of the Netweaver solution, they changed the name because the Web Client is no longer CRM specific.
Cheers!

What is the difference between mySAP2004 and SAP ERP 2004?

Hi,
Can anybody tell me what is the difference between mySAP2004 and SAP ERP 2004?
If someone has the document, then please mail me at [email protected]

Hi Tiffny,
actually I don't see a difference as "mySAP2004" is not an official name for anything
There is "mySAP ERP 2004" which is the marketing name for a bunch of functionality provided by several different bits of software components.

Difference between Business Analyst SAP SD and SAP SD consultant

Hi friends
I need openion about what is difference between Business Analyst SAP SD and SAP SD consultant.
Raj

Both the roles are more likely the same, In consulting companies like IBM, Deloitte , TCS and others SAP functional anlayst is a more popular term but if you work directly with a SAP client - SAP Business Analyst is what they refer to a functional anlayst. Most of the responsibilities are same but they are some roles which require more of ANALYST person who can gather requirements, GAP Analysis, IS - TO BE and etc and less of configuration or customization in SAP therefore they sometimes call it SAP Business Analyst but in both cases the configuration knowledge and experience about specific modules is required.
Thanks

What is the difference between R/3 & SAP CRM

Hi,
Please explain the difference between R/3 & SAP CRM

Hi Abhishek,
R/3 and CRM are two completely different systems. R/3 is the leading system. CRM is like a child system of R/3. R/3 interacts with many other systems.(like SRM ,SCM, CRM etc).
Not all functionalties of R/3 will be available in CRM.
CRM has functionlaities whch are more customer oriented where we can capture all customer related data where R/3 is a system where backend processing happens EG: Billing.
For Eg: you create a sales order in CRM and then send it to R/3 for billing purposes.
The communication between R/3 and CRM is done by a technology called Middleware. You can refer to the below link for this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/c3/95fc381478ab6fe10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You can refer to 'help.sap.com' and under 'SAP Business Suite' you will find 'SAP Customer Relationship Management' which gives you comprehensive view about CRM.
CRM has various releases like 4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0(7.0 being the latest). You will find all the details about CRM under the above path.
Also if your search in the web you will find lots of articles on CRM and R/3.
Thanks,

Could you tell me what is the difference between "Send to SAP" and "Send EWA alerts to SAP" boxes?

Hello Cherios,
The "Send to SAP" check box is used when you want to sent a Production or Test (Quality) systems EWA data to SAP for analysis.
Currently the "Send EWA Alerts to SAP" is not used at this time, and actually cannot be selected, and saved.

Whats the functional difference between user IDs SAP* and DDIC?

Whats the functional difference between SAP* and DDIC? Can any one tell me please. I am new here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Farooq,
There are three user IDs in various SAP clients.
1. SAP* (Client 000 and 001)
SAP* denotes the default super user and has all administrative powers.
2. DDIC (Client 000 and 001)
DDIC user is responsible for the maintenance of the ABAP/4 Dictionary and the software logistics.
3. EarlyWatch (Client 066)
The EarlyWatch user has access only to monitoring and performance data.
Please check this link for more information on data dictionary objects.

Hi can some tell me what is the difference between sapr3 and sap business 1

is there any difference between sap business one and sap r3 if i learn sd module

Hi Siva,
The SD module from R/3 is completely unrelated to the business processes and technologies used in SAP Business One (SBO). R/3 and SBO are completely different products and direct comparisons are difficult. I don't think learning one will help in any degree in learning the other. With R/3 you tend to specialise in one area (eg SD) as the complexity and scale of implementations requires this specialisation. With SBO, a single consultant would be expected to know the whole product. SBO is a much simpler product designed for small to medium sized companies so the processes are much more generic.

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 SAP-PS, SAP_RPM, Cprojects, SAP-ppm

Hi
can anyone please tell me the difference between
1. SAP-PS
2. SAP Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP- RPM)
3, SAP Project Portfolio Management SAP-PPM)
4. cProjects
Thanks..

Hi Julio
1. SAP-PS --> Project Systems SAP ERP based Project Management tool. It is tightly integrated with SAP Core modules like MM,SD,FICO.
it is SAP GUI based just like other core modules. it is used in project oriented scenarios like EC&O, real estate, complex MTO scenarios.
2. SAP Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP- RPM) --> SAP Enterprise Portal based Resource and portfolio management tool, it is used to manage portfolio of multiple projects, proposals, initiatives. Its UI is SAP Enterprise portal and it is integrated with SAP cProjects/ SAP PS.
3, SAP Project Portfolio Management SAP-PPM)
Same as 2, but SAP is now using term PPM for next relelases of xRPM, SAP is coming up with SAP PPM 5.0 ,
current version in market is SAP RPM 4.5
4. cProjects - It is web based Project Management tool. It is used for simpler projects like IT Projects, R&D projects etc, which does not require very tight integration with SAP ERP core modules. cProjects is integrated to some extent with SAP PS & FI-CO
Hope i have done my best extent to give answer.
Thanks

Dear Sirinu;
I have replied a similar message in this forum. Anyway I will give you some tips. SAP AFS has many features which makes the MM different from standard. In an AFS implementation you might have to make decisions on following.
1. How you are going to manage the batches Every material in AFS are batch managed. So you need to check how you are going to use the batch and what is the data you are going to capture
2. How you are going to manage the Grids Grid in AFS is an important feature. You need to decide what kind of information you are going to capture using grids. For more information check the <a href="http://www.sapafs.net/2007/10/using-3d-grid-option-in-sap-afs.html">usage of 3D Grid here</a>.
3. How are you going categorize your materials and stocks In AFS you can use Categories to categorize the materials according to the various requirements of your organization
4. How you are going to tackle the seasonality Seasons are another very important aspect of AFS. You need to check and figure out how you are going to use this feature.
If you need any further clarifications you can contact me on [email protected]

Difference between C_TPLM30_05 and C_TPLM30_65

Certified Consultants,
What is the difference between Exams "C_TPLM30_05: SAP Certified Solution Consultant PLM - Maintenance & Repair with SAP ERP 2005" and Exam " C_TPLM30_65: SAP Certified Application Associate - Enterprise Asset Management (Maintenance & Repair) with SAP ERP 6.0 EhP5"
If any consultant has written C_TPLM30_05 instead of C_TPLM30_65 will it be invalid since C_TPLM30_65 is never and based on ERP -EAM unlike C_TPLM30_05 which is based on PLM-ALM..
Will Consultant with C_TPLM30_65 have more prefrence over consultant with C_TPLM30_05 certification...Is SAP consultant with C_TPLM30_05 is not preferred?

Hello ShaikhMurad,
Actually, From my point of view;
C_TPLM30_65 : The newest SAP Certification at EAM is designed for entry- level consultants that's why
(1) All the certification about how to describe?Maintain?Customize?
(2) Don't consider some of important integration points such as: Processing External Services, all cost topics (Cost Estimation, Order Settlement, Planned/Actual Cost Determination, Plant Maintenance in the Organizational Structures of Accounting) and Capacity Planning unlike C_TPLM30_05
The advantage of this certification "C_TPLM30_65", It covers most of enhancements points related to PLM from EhP 1 : EhP 5 unlike C_TPLM30_05 which covers ONLY ECC 6.0
Hope this note helps.

Are there any technical Differences between stanard R3 and ISU

Hello everyone,
I have recently been speaking to a client who is running ISU. They are asking for assistance with thier landscape from a technical perspective (BASIS and DB). i.e. monitoring db growth, reorgs, etc.
Now, I have been working in BASIS for over 10 years now, and am very comfortable with the above rols. My question however is - are there any "technical" differences between the standard SAP system, and ISU? or are the differences mainly seen on the functional side?
Thank you very much for any insight any of you can provide.
Kind regards
Richard Rog

Hi Richard,
I have been a Basis administrator for IS-U/CCS systems for 7 years. The points Juris made are correct.
There are no new transactions or procedures for maintaining and monitoring an ISU system. ISU "sits" on top of R/3. The main ISU transaction for customer contact CIC0 has an HTML component that needs an ITS server. In a 4.6C system you will need to maintain an external ITS. In ECC 6.0 you will have an integrated ITS. The main difference from a Basis perspective is support pack application.
In 4.6C ISU is an add-in installed in SAINT. There are conflict resolution support packages (CRT's) that are installed at the same time the SAP_APPL support packages are applied. In fact SPAM recognizes the ISU add-in and won't let you upgrade APPL (and sometimes Basis) support packs without the CRT's.
In ECC 6.0 IS-U isn't an add-in any more and has it's own support packs in module IS-UT. IS-U must be turned on though during an installation or upgrade. This is done in SPRO with "Activate Business Funcitons".
