Experiences on SAP Best Practise packages?

We are considering applying a specific SAP Best Practise package on top of ECC6. It will be a new ECC6 installation.
I have read the BP faq pages http://help.sap.com/bp_bw370/html/faq.htm and read note 1225909 - How to apply SAP Best Practices - and the specific note and the specific installation guide for required Best Practise package.
I understand that applying a BP package is something not that easy but should speed up the implementation process.
If you have been participating in a project that implemented SAP Best Practises on ERP, would you please share your experiences with me.
Here are some topics for discussion:
(BP=SAP Best Practise package)
BP implementation could make constraints to your future EHP or SP upgrades, while BP is tightly linked to certain EHP and SP-level?
SAP support?
Installation process including config steps according BP installation guide is longer than usual, while there can be multiple activation and configuration steps done by others than basis consultants?
BPs are country dependent. What if your application is used multinationally?
What if you later find BP unneccessary?
generate difficulties in the beginning but did considerably speed up reaching the final goal compared to ECC6 without BP.
traps to fall in?
typical issues that basis staff has to notify when preparing/installing a ERP system to be with BP?
positive/negative things
I am not saying above statements are true or false. Just wanted to charge you giving comments.

Hi,
Make sure your web service URL correct in Live Office connection and also in Xcelsius data manager.
Did you check all connection in refresh button proprties? you may try selecting "Refresh after component are Loaded" in Refresh button properties Behavior tab.
I think Xcelsius refresh are serial refresh so it may be possible that first component refresh is still in progress but you are expecting other component to refresh.
Click on "Enable Load Cursor" in data manager's Usage tab, it will give you visibility of refresh. If anything refreshing you will see hour glass.
Cheers

SAP Best Practises - Installation

Hello All,
I had installed SAP best Practises base line package SAP BP-ERP 617V6 in my system a couple of weeks back. But now when I am trying to activate the Best practises it is asking for the solution scope files and the installation text files. But when I am checking on Service market place , it seems SAP has with drawn the files for 617-V6 and has updated them with the latest files of 617-V7.
Now without these files I cannot proceed any further. And I have already activated the Business sets and Business Enterprise Functions in Client 000 and created a new client from 000.
In this regards can anyone advise what will be the best way forward. Can I upgrade my BP version BP-ERP 617-V7 now and proceed. Are there any special steps that I need to do for the BC sets which are already activated. I am guessing I will need to a client copy once again.
I also went through SAP Note 1301301 , Point IV , which talks about the upgrade of SAP BP package but it lacks clarity on the above points.
I have also raised a Customer message on this but will really appreciate your views in this regards.
Thanks

Hello Surajit Das,
In http://service.sap.com/swdc have you tried looking in Archive Area ?
SAP will generally hold the previous versions of software and components in the archive area for some time.

SAP BEST PRACTISE BI-Purchasing Volume Dashboard issue

Hello,
I am working on Purchasing Volume Dashboard (from SAP BEST PRACTISE BI package), I adapted Crystal Reports sources of this dashboard so that they connect to our local database and successfully generated the Export.xls, I Imported this Export.xls file into Purchasing Volume Dashboard.xls, added and configured Live Office Connections (ticking"Refresh before components are loaded" for each Live Connections.
The issue is that when I click on PREVIEW the four components (Charts and Scorecard) don't refresh simultaneously.
I have to click once on REFRESH button to have the first component refreshed with data then to click again to have the second component refreshed then click again and again !
I don't understand why those components don't refresh in the same time !!
Did one of you ever encountered this issue ?
many thanks for your help,
Regards
Christiane

What is the SAP best practise

we are planning for new co.code, does it suggestable of using existing document types for various business processes like purchases, returns and stock transfers..etc or creating new document types.
plz suggest the best practise

hi
SAP Best practices are entirely different subject. your case is what is best suited for you and whether you can go with the existing document types of SAP. My reply will be it all depends upon your processes you have already and how you wish to take forward. As fas as document types are concerned unless it is specifically required to differentitate betwen different activites one must go with standards for example IMPORT and DOMESTIC POs , you should have two different document types, like wise.. or else it is better to go with standrads.

SAP Best Practise. Requirement for CERTIFICATES for products being sold

Hi All
Please share is there a SAP Best Practice for using CERTIFICATES in SAP?
There is a legal requirement in Russia for products being SOLD: if product is subject to cerification, then company is now allowed to sell such product if certicate is missing or expired.
- product should be blocked for sales order/ quoatation if mandatory ceriticate is missing or expired.
Is there a SAP Best Practice for this kind of process?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Andrey

Hi
I suppose this can be achieved through DMS (Document Mangament System).
You can customize the cross plant material master settings and link it to the DMS module.
The suggesstion I am givng is very high level, but it might help you to put your thoughts in that direction.

Any ideas how to avoid this error message?

SAP Best Practices on ECC 6.0 IDES

Hi,
We are trying to implement SAP Best Practices on ECC 6.0 IDES Server.
1) IDES Server has patch level greater then the one mentioned in the implementation guide. Is it ok to continue with SAP Best Practices installation.
2) Uploading Notes through t-code SNOTE gives an error stating" Data file of SAP Note is incomplete". Please suggest how to proceed with applying notes.
We are using tcode SNOTE --> Goto --> Upload SAP Note.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish

Hi
check if the SAP note has some pre-requisites?
Ensure that you follow the procedure regarding the note upload:
Do not copy & paste, ALWAYS quote the source.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7c/04f33925f12d20e10000000a114084/content.htm
Read the "Rules of Engagement"
SAP download manager is required for it.
SAP Best Practices package specifies prerequisites to install the SAP application.

Best practise in SAP BW master data management and transport

Hi sap bw gurus,
I like to know what is the best practise in sap bw master data transport. For example, if I updated my attributes in development, what are the 'required only' bw objects should I transport?
Appreciate advice.
Thank you,

Thanks for the reply but that answer may be suitable if I'm implementing a new BW system. What I'm looking for is more on daily operational maintenance and transport (a BW systems that has gone live awhile).
