ERP system with C#?

I'm in intermediate level in C#, and I want to specialize in ERP field. what qualifications required in the programmer to be qualified as an ERP developer. at the moment my knowledge about ERP is not perfect. What I hope to know is, what
I should put in my head in learning C#, what should I concentrate on? Links between C# and ERP

As an ERP developer focusing primarily in C# (but responsible for the full stack), here's my thoughts:
You don't really use C# as an ERP developer. Sure, you'll use basic function calls, but you're not typically doing fun stuff like creating objects by reflection.
Learn about databases. If you're doing any kind of ERP work, you're going to be relying heavily on a database to support you. This is where your bottlenecks will be, and this is where most of your design considerations should be (data and schema tends to last
forever).
Pick up some web frameworks like ASP.NET MVC. With everyone going to cloud now, it's becoming increasingly important. Learning things like Knockout.js and JQuery will also allow you to expand your reach as a developer.
Learn the domain! A great ERP developer understands the particular domain(s) he is working in. If you're doing mostly accounting work, you understand the flow of money in a company. If you're doing mostly shipping work, you understand how carriers handle goods.
Most, if not all of this, should be taught to you on the job.

SMSY define ERP system with Process Integration instance

Hello,
We have connected new installed ERP system (ERP 6.0 EHP3) to central SLD (SAP SM EHP1).
But we can see the strange situation.
SMSY define automatically this ERP system as the system with Process Integration instance but not ECC Server instance.
We have not installed Usage Type PI in the ERP system.
Also we have old ERP system in SLD. It is visible as SAP ERP system with ECC Server instance.
What is the strange behaviour of SMSY? What should we do and how can we correct this definition in SMSY?

Hi,
Check what you have selected as "Main Instance" in SMSY under tab Software Components.
Follow this link.

How to integrate a sales process across multiple ERP systems with SOA?

Over time we have merged with multiple companies that used to run on their own ERP system. In the past we concerted them to our own R/3 instance. Having recently upgraded from R/3 4.6 to ERP 6.0, we want to transition to a SOA architecture for integrating stand-alone ERP systems. We are looking for best practices on how to start this transition; i.e., how to use SOA to implement an Order-to-Cash process across separate ERP systems.
Here is our scenario:
The same products are sold through ERP system A and ERP system B. However, each system represents a different company code with its separate manufacturing plants. Both systems evolved independently and presently have separate master data. How do you enable a sales process that dynamically (depending on inventory availability) gets the product either from a plant on system A or B? How do you implement a triangular sale that covers both ERP systems?
I am looking forward to learn from your experiences and your advice.

Hi Bernard,
Like most SOA scenarios, first your scenario requires a detailed fit gap analysis to see which of your existing ERP systems best meet which business process that you want to accomplish at an organisation level. It is only after that, that you can decide which capabilities of SAP SOA can you leverage and how.
Broadly speaking, SAP's SOA paradigm provides several approaches which you could use depending on your scenarios. For example, if you only need a brokerage between two or more systems (updating or retrieval of data) either synchronously or asynchronously, your best bet is PI (preferably 7.1 because of its ESR and Services Registry). On the other hand, if you require a new application that acts as a controller of flow or processing across various systems, you could use the Composition Environment which provides you with a toolset to build composite applications across various systems (for instance, by registering services from multiple systems on the Services Registry, and then consuming it from say a WebDynpro application).
The following document might provide you with more insight on this:

Using the following erp system with oracle

Dear all,
Does anyone have experience in using the Infor ERP LN with oracle. Are they fully compatible...the reason why I am asking is to make a good arguement why our company needs to oracle when we migrate over to our new ERP system which is infor ERP LN. currently the vendors are trying to have us change to sql sever.

The vendor itself should be able to tell you whether they are certified against Oracle. I would definitely official confirmation from the vendor themselves, else you might find yourself in a lot of trouble if it turns out that it isn't certified and you have major problems.
Saying 'I asked a guy on a forum' wouldn't do anything to help keep your job in that case...

Print with password from ERP-System

Hello,
I am looking for a way to print from a erp-system with a password.
This means:
I have a printer in my office where I can configure a password.
When the user wants to print something from the erp-system he has to enter the same password which
is configured for the printer. It is only possible to print iif the user has the password.
Is there a similar way to do this in a erp system?
Best regards & Thanks in advance
Alberto

If you do frontend printing (which is basically like the user is printing from his PC) it works. If you print over the network from the spooler instance, it won't work.

Consuming and Providing Web Service with JD Edwards ERP system

Hi,
I would like to create web services with c++ or java OR any other easier way .
I need to use that web services to use in Share point to interact with JD Edwards ERP system .
Pls Note : Since not having license for JD Edwards, I need to create and call from Sharepoint Web service to JD edwards.
and not from JD edwards web service.
Could anybody guide me in this.
Thanks in advance.

I had this error again so I thought I would post my solution:
The issue is SAP needs to know the certificates being used by the web site being called. These certificates are automatically installed in your browser but need to be manually installed in SAP. This is what I did:
How to find/install new certificates
Make sure you run Internet Explorer as an Administrator so you can export the certificates
Go to the web site that SAP is trying to call in Internet Explorer
Double click on the lock in the address bar
View certificates
Find the certificates that are being used
Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> Certificates
Click on the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” tab
Find the certificate identified in step iii
Export as a CER certificate
Click on the “Intermediate Certification Authorities” tab
Find the certificate identified in step iii
Export as a CER certificate
Go to STRUST in SAP
Import the Certificates in the “Anonymous” or “Standard” SSL client
Save
RESTART the ICM via t-code SMICM <-- Critical!!!

MDM Integration with ERP system

Hello MDM Guru's.
In our system Landscape, use Baan ERP system to fetch data into MDM, cleanse it and push data to SRM/BI system for Business Requirements.
Our MDM is neither connected to any R/3 (ECC) system. we want to have a kind of Reports developed for MDM Data present in our system based on Companies (our Manufacturing sites) and have a automatic mapping of our Manufacturers , Suppliers & Customers based on Global and local Stratergy.
According to my understanding, we can use MDM API's (ABAP or Java). As MDM is not integrated with any of the ERP (ECC or Netweaver Data base)?
We have options to integrate MDM with ECC 6.0 & Netweaver system. Which could be a better option to connect with? we are planning to integrate MDM with E-Portal too, could Portal data base be used.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
MSR

Hi Srihari,
If you want to use MDM in you landscape and store and cleanse data in it and then sent the cleansed data to a reporting tool for analysis then you can do it in one of the methods:
- Either connect MDM to the other systems in your landscape using XI as the means of data trnasfer
- Or connect MDM to other systems using the API.
In the first method.you need to use PI/XI to manage the flow of master data to and from your MDM system to others. MDM can be used for data cleansing and enrichment within MDM before syndicating it out.
In the second method you can connect to MDM through other systems using the API.
As you mentioned about reporting on the master data in MDM based on the Companies or manufacturing sites etc.You can achieve this suing MDM ABAP API.
ABAP can be sued as a reporting tool.wherein it will connect to your MDM system through the configured API and fetch the MDM data and generate simple reports .
If you wish to access the MDM data online you can use portal front end. but in this case portal wont be capable to store any information as it is just a front end.
You will have to use MDM as a backend storage system.JAVA API can be used for futher customization on EP.
For ABAP API use you can refer the below link:

Dear Dr. Word,
I am a graduate student of MIS at Northern Illinois University. I took Dr. Yipeng Liu’s course of Advanced Topic of Information Systems using your textbook - Integrated Business Process With ERP Systems. Your textbook is great. I have a question to discuss with you.
On page 62 of your textbook, I don’t think the accounting process of purchasing supplies is correct. In the example, “GBI purchases office supplies for $500 with a check. Office supplies are expensed; that is, they are defined as money spent rather than treated as an asset upon purchase, even if some of the supplies remain unused. In this case, the relevant accounts are bank and supplies expense.”
Actually, supplies unused are assets of companies. Otherwise we don’t need an account called supplies at all. In the given example, I think we should credit $500 to bank account and debit $500 to supplies account. If at the end of the fiscal year, we used only $300 supplies, then we credit $300 to supplies account and debit $300 to supplies expense account. This is the typical process of supplies accounting.
“Office supplies are expensed; that is, they are defined as money spent rather than treated as an asset upon purchase, even if some of the supplies remain unused. “ This practice actually goes against the Matching Principle of General Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP). It’s not a good example especially in textbook, even though lots of companies are doing real business like this.
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts of my comments on supplies accounting of your textbook.

Issues with charsets from NUC ERP system to UC BI System

Hi guys
We are actually in the process of Upgrading and Unicode Migration for BI and ERP Landscape
BI Landscape is the first stage so we are facing an issue with char sets
ERP system generates a plain txt file which is later pick up by BI system to run a chain process.
This plain txt file, contains Spanish Special chars which are causing the issues.
I have found a note which converts file at OS level from one code page to another code page
Is there another more transparent solution, like forcing NUC ERP System to generate the plain file in a format which can be read by UC BI System

SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA with ERP-System

Hello,
I have a running Instance of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP8.
Here I have the minisap Licence of A4H.
When I get the Licence of ERP - do I have a fully ERP System on HANA ?
Or do I need a new Instance?

Hi Julia,
even if you or your company have an SAP license for ERP, you are legally not allowed to install the license key into the free offering it because you have accepted the terms and conditions of the trial/developer version.
If you want to use your own licenses, you would need to switch to the BYOL model where you bring in the license. For that you would need to purchase the SAP Cloud Appliance Library subscription. You get more details here (CAL FAQ - Business related questions ). To purchase the SAP Cloud Appliance Library subscription you would need to select the "Unlock full library" link on the top right corner of the Subscriptions screen on http://cal.sap.com.

ERP invoice with reference to SRM Basic Contract?

Hi
In SAP SRM you can create a shopping cart or a PO with reference to a SRM Basic Contract by setting the item number to 0 like: 4700000107/0
But with the new Ehp1 SAP states that ERP invoices can be created with reference to a SRM central contract (via SRM_SERVICE_PROC_1). But can you create the invoice with reference to contract item 0?
The idea is to have the non PO related invoices registrered on the basic contract in SRM along with the PO's. A basic contract can't be copied to ERP, as there is no lines on it, but is the ERP contract copy needed for this scenario?
So two questions:
- is the ERP contract copy from SRM needed to use the Ehp1 functionality of creating invoices with reference to a SRM contract?
- can the ERP invoice be created with reference to a basic SRM contract by giving the contract item as 0 or in another way?
BR
Jacob

Hello,
With SRM 70 EHP1 you can create ERP invoice against your SRM Central Contract distributed to ERP.
To enable this you need to do few settings in ERP, for the same you can refer to the config guides available at Service market place for SRM701 releases.
Configuring Contract Handling for Invoices : You use this procedure to configure contract handling for invoices in the SAP ERP system. You have activated the Procurement - SRM Integration 2 (LOG_MM_P2PSE_2) business function in the SAP ERP system.
Steps :
1. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Incoming Invoice -- Activate Direct Posting to Contracts , to allow direct references to contracts when creating invoices and parking documents.
2. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Invoice Block -- Set Tolerance Limits , to set the tolerance key for contracts (PC: Price variance for contract).
The feature is termed as Invoice Reconciliation here.

Rahul

Communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System

Hi,
Is it possible to have communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System by cresting RFCUSER with user type communications data instead of Dialog user.
Because of audit policy , none of DIALOG user should have SAP_ALL profile.
Is there a option to set up communications between PC/RM Backend and ERP System without a Dialog user setting.
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
You are right and the user should be always communication or system. GRC AC allows for the user to be communication or system. Can you try with PC/RM RFC user and see if it works? It should work
