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]

All Abt Difference Between PCk & SAP XI

Hi,
What is the Techinal & Other Difference between PCk & SAP XI.
Can we do every thing on PCK as like SAP XI??
Please dont post any Blogs or Doc's
Can any one give the General Description
Regards
Suman

Hi Suman
Partner Connectivity Kit
PCK enables small business partners with no native XML capablity to connect to Xi > PCK uses XI protocol to connect small partners to connect to SAP XI
Purpose
The Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) enables you to connect to SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI).
The PCK is a J2EE-based application that uses the Adapter Framework, which is also based on the SAP XI Adapter Engine. The adapter framework is based on the SAP J2EE Engine (part of the SAP Web Application Server) and the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA).
Implementation Considerations
The Partner Connectivity Kit is based on the SAP Web Application Server 6.40 J2EE server.
Features
● Using the PCK, you can configure how messages are exchanged between senders and receivers by defining collaboration profiles (communication parties, services, and communication channels).
● The PCK enables you to convert information to the SAP XI messaging protocol. This conversion is made possible using adapters.
Conversely, you can convert the data that you receive from the Integration Server to other formats so that it can be used by your applications. When defining the flow of messages that are processed by the PCK, one of the end points is always the Integration Server.
● The SAP Conversion Agent by Informatica allows you to convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data in XML format using an adapter module. See: Conversion Agent
● A graphical mapping editor enables mapping between source and target structures. If you have implemented XSLT or Java mappings and packed them in a JAR or Zip file, you can import these archives.
● Monitoring is available to enable you to monitor and track messages that flow through the PCK, and to monitor the adapters.
● Information on adapter development is available for partners. This also contains information on how to create a module to extend the adapter functions. See: Adapter and Module Development
● The configuration example shows you which objects must be created in the PCK and in the Integration Server of the XI customer to configure a message exchange.
What is the Techinal & Other Difference between PCk & SAP XI.
PCK is like a small XI .you can use the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) to connect smaller business partners, who do not have SAP Exchange Infrastructure, to the Integration Server.
The PCK of the smaller business partner receives a message from its system landscape and converts the format of the message to XI message protocol. The message is forwarded to the Integration Server for further processing.
HOW IT WORKS
To forward XML messages from the Integration Server to a receiver business system in the system landscape of the smaller business partner, the PCK of the business partner receives the message, converts it into the format required by the receiver system, and then forwards the message. The PCK contains the following adapters:
·        RFC Adapter
·        File Adapter
·        JMS Adapter
·        JDBC Adapter
·        SOAP Adapter
·        SAP Business Connector Adapter
·        Mail Adapter
·        XI Adapter
Can we do every thing on PCK as like SAP XI??
yes ofcourse almost evrything you can do with PCk Tjis is like a small SAP XI to enable small partners who do not have SAP XI
Hope this has cleared you PCk in the simplest way

What's the difference between old SAP appraisal system and the new SAP appraisal system?

Hi Experts,
What's the difference between old SAP appraisal system and the new SAP appraisal system?
Can anyone shed some light please.
Thanks.

emgr_update no longer sets or gets the thesaurus from workbench. In 11 all workbench configurations are saved in IFCR configuration directly.
Hence the thesaurus entry should be added directly in version 11 Workbench as opposed to xml file in older versions.
And if you want to migrate the changes across environments then import_site script in control directory can be used.

Difference between the SAP Mobile Infrastructure and SAP NW MOBILE7.1

Hello everyone, could you tell me what's the difference between the SAP Mobile Infrastructure http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a7/893a5889e08b41b615688b1a93b559/frameset.htm and SAP NETWEAVER MOBILE 7.1 http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-mobile-tools;jsessionid=(J2EE3417800)ID0940784850DB22002277755496926773End ? I have to develop a mobile application and I have studied the MDK 2.5 here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/21eba3a7-0601-0010-b982-92f1fca3258a&overridelayout=true , but now I have come to doubt whether I have done well to study MDK 2.5 for my purpose.

Hi,
We have this answer in many other threads..
Mobile infrastructure (MI 2.5 / MI 7.0) is the older release of mobile.The latest version of mobile is NW Mobile 7.1 which comes with a total architectural change, provides better scalability and has advantages in many other areas like better modeling, monitoring options , faster device synchronization time etc.
Netweaver mobile constitutes of server (DOE) and a default client framework (Netweaver mobile client) .
Mobile application could be created using NetweaverDeveloper Studio(NWDS) that will present the data required by the mobile device user.
This mobile application once deployed on a device will work on the local persistency and during synchronization with DOE sends the modified/new data to Backend via DOE.
Customers can also develop a custom client framework and application that still talks to DOE (and inturn to backend)
NW mobile 7.1 could be used to build mobile applications suiting offline and onlines scenarios.
In few words to mobilize enterprise solutions
SAP R/3 will act as backend
---talks to DOE through remote enabled BAPI Wrappers ---
NW mobile will be middleware that does the data orchestration
Upon Synchronization of mobile device with DOE using a messaging protocol over http(s)
Receivers could be devices with client application installed / another server.

Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

Hi Nikunj,
I would recommend going to http://scn.sap.com/community/mobile and reading the What is SAP Fiori UX? page with all of its links. There is a wealth of information there on the whole topic of Fiori.
X1 (aka Wave 1) is the first release of Fiori with 25 apps and a starting point referred to as Launchpage.
X2 (aka Wave 2) is the second release. It changed the starting point from Launchpage to Launchpad with some rather major changes in design, configuration, installation, and features.
SAP FIORI FOR SAP ERP is a reference to applications created for use with SAP ERP (as opposed to SAP CRM, SAP SRM, etc.).

What's the difference between sapui5, sap fiori ...

Hi everyone!
I just want an overview explanation (please don't put links, I want personal opinions based on your knowledge) of the differences between SAPUI5 - SAP Fiori and what's their role within those technologies: SAP R/3 - SAP B1 - SAP HANA?
And another thing, what are the different skills an ABAP SAP Developer in SAP R/3 could extend in those technologies (using SAPUI5) in order to be updated to the lasts features required to an ABAP SAP Developer (or SAP Consultant) ?
Please, I want to understand how all those things are linked together, just an overview explanation please.
Thank you very much,
Denis

Hi Chandan,
i guess this could really be some important information for people new to SAP. However, why is it posted on a seperat platform with the need for an other login. It would be much better if the information was available here on SCN.

Difference between variuos SAP adapters!!

Hi,
Can anyone please explain the differences between BAPI,RFC and ALE?
Please tell me more about SAP adapters particularly BAPI.
Looking forward your reply,
Thanks in Advance!!
Regards,
Venkatesh.R.

Hi
a BAPI is an RFC enabled function module. The BAPI is different in that it encapsulates a complete business object. For example, "Create Sales Order" the BAPI for this allows you to create a sales order with a complete interface. BAPIs are also well documented in transaction BAPI.
RFC is just a remote enabled function module which you are allowed to call from outside the system, doesn't neccesarily encapsulate a complete business object.

Difference between the SAP versions

Dear all,
Please let me know the difference between 4.6b, 4.7 and ECC5.0 with special reference to the SD module.
Thanks in advance.

There are so many differences between the version in different objects
I will explain in two or more objects the difference
1 in the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code
and also there is no CIN tab in that version
but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN
which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
But we can do the same in the 6.0 version
These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

Difference between com.sap.ejb.annotations.AppStartup and @PostConstruct

Hi developers,
In NW 7.3 we have two EJB annotations with identical meaning:
javax.annotation.PostConstruct
and
com.sap.ejb.annotations.AppStartup
A method annotated like this is invoked by the container right before the EJB is made available to clients.
Can anyone explain the difference between the two annotations?
Thanks, regards
Vincenzo

Hi
PostConstruct = EJB standard, AppStartup = SAP proprietary.
As far as I understand the descriptions, the AppStartup callback invocation occur for all EJBs immediately when the application is starting (no matter if the EJB is called or not) whereas "The PostConstruct callback invocations occur before the first business method invocation on the bean. This is at a point after which any dependency injection has been performed by the container." (see EJB spec).
So the PostConstruct has nothing to do with application life cycle but with the lifecycle of a single bean instance. PostConstruct may be called later on first client invocation) and in AppStartup, you probably do not have dependency injection performed but have to lookup using java:comp/env.
Regards
Rolf

Difference between standard SAP asset report and BW report

Hi
We are finding differences between the standard Asset report and the BW report which is extracted via standard SAP extractor. Could anyone guess what would be the reason for this?? I ran the report - AW01N
Please revert at once as this is very urgent.
Regards,
prasad

Hi Prasad,
A number of reasons could be responsible for this. Check the following:
1. If some posting were done in R/3 just before running your BW report, you may have to re-extract the data into BW as this would no longer be current. The thumb rule is to always allow at least 45 minutes to 1 hour between when the last transaction in R/3 was posted before re-extraction. This is to allow SAP Logical Unit of Work(LUW) to have been committed to the R/3 database.
2. There may have been some restrictions on the selection variables in the BW query. Check the Query Designer, just to be sure there are no restrictions.
I hope the above help.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Difference between std procurement and service procurement & advantages?

Dear Gurus,
what are the differences between standard procurement and service procurement &
advantages of External services management?
Thanks...

hi,
In std procurement we procure materials while in the service procurement we procure services...sap has given these two differently may be bacause while procuring the services you never know in advance that how much exact amount is req. just because you don't know for eg wether there is any req. of changing the parts, or general maintenence or anything else...
so due to this you use the value limits....
Advantage: As the services procured are not FIXED as in the std procurement, we do have flexibility for adding up the new services as per the req...
and as we provide the value limits, in the real time scenerio it doesnot cause any FI problem later...
