Function Point Analysis for SAP BW Projects

Hello All,
Have been assigned a task to come up with Function Point
analysis for SAP BW projects.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mainak

Hi Mainak,
Function Point Analysis is independent of technology, methodology or platform, so there is no function point analysis specific for sap bw, rather you should familiarize with the fundamentals of FPA.
And as you might know, FAP is used to determine whether a given a tool, an environment or a language is more productive when compared to others.
I can send you good links if you can give me your email-id.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Raj

Template doc regarding Gap analysis of SAP BI -MM

Hi Gurus,
Can any one send a template doc regarding Gap analysis of SAP BI -MM

HI,
Gap Analysis:
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world or in Information Technology world, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be."
Gap Analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space. Actual Gap Analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in Business Blueprintstage.
A through Gap Analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates and its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned,
1. GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed
2. GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required
3. GAP does not need to be closed.
A point worth mentioning here is that at time people confuse between user-exits and Gap Analysis. User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench, its not new functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the same code.
Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once business Blueprint is finished we have to find the realization of sap system for client requirment and there will be certain gaps when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system.
The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.

How you complete impact analysis for SAP Universe

hi,
i want to know that how to how you complete impact analysis for SAP Universe

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

Results Analysis for Valuated Project stock

Hi,
To have transfer prices we have activated material ledger and multiple valuations.
As material ledger only works with valuated stock, we have moved the Project structure (ETO) from non valuated to valuated.
Our client requirement was to recognised revenue based on cost. With non valuated project stock, cost is upated as soon as we received the stock for the project and we were able to acheive the RA (revenue recognisition) as per the clients requirement.
However after changing to valuated, during goods receipt stock is upated and not cost. So we asked the client to consume the purchased material if they have to recognise the revenue.
Then the question came that if the SFG is received back from the assembly/production order, all of a sudden we will not have cost but revenue & stock. After looking some SAP notes on statistical cost elements, we have created the stock account as a statistical cost element (category 90) and implimented the following SAP notes which helped us to reverse the stock value and update it to P&L (by reading the balance in statistical cost element linked to the Project).
a) Note 78420 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_005 (contains include ZXKAGU05).This Function module takes into account the actual & plan costs of the assigned Production orders & Networks
b)Note 616869 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU05
c)Note 616960 : Changes to include ZXKAGU05 to read statistical cost elements in RA
d)Note 26002 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001 (contains include ZXKAGU01).In this include we can make the necessary modifications to RA calculations. Through this include, stock will be reversed during RA.
e)Note 785626 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU01
Hower if we have purchased parts which are not consumed, still the RA (FM EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001) reads the value in statistical cost element and posts a debit to RA P&L and reverses the stock. Therefore now i have cost but no revenue (as no consumption).
As per last paragraph of sap note 785626, if we have purchased parts and we want to exclude them from stock reversal, we have to use a filter with customer enhancement 3 (SAP note 67423). It also says that the goods receipts and issues of purchased parts has to lead to a different valuation class and assigne a different stock accout. Now can any one give some guidance on how a project specific purchased parts (receipts and issues to prod order) can be linked to a seperated valuation class.
We have same material which is sometimes purchased and sometime produced.
Regards
Raghu.

Hi
I can say something from theory but not much from sap config. perspective. You have not mentioned actual revenue since POC is calculated from
R(a)/R(p).How you have considered 100% poc?
From your data,it looks to me that you have met the target revenue from actual cost which is less than planned one.Inventory indicates that you can generate revenue in next accounting period (unlike WIP).I feel that unlike plant stock,RA is not perfomed on project stock Murli, can ammend my view if it is wrong.
You can post this problem to Fi/Co.

Results analysis for a project to be settled to sales order rather than PSG

Hi Experts
My client has two company codes.
CC1 executes project construction for CC2. This is to be mapped as a customer project.
As far as project settlement is concerned, since PA is not activated, it is proposed to settle to sales order item.
In this situation, what would be effect of results analysis.
With out PA, how the postings need to be handled with WIP, Reserves, Inventory and Revenue.
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
I have had this problem earlier, If PA is not abailable you have put in the settlement rule as not to be settled.
And for the postings have to be managed using the GL accounts that we give in the result analysis configuration. There is not much flexibility for customization here in this scenario. But you can do as much as possible using the diffrent result analysis categories.
So for the reserves WIP inventory and revenue use result analysis category to segregate them by GL account
Thanks

Risk Analysis for SAP HR structural authorization

Hi experts, for those who are familiar with SAP HR structural authorization setup, can you advice what tools out there are able to implement risk based on Structural Authorization as well.
SAP RAR/CC is not able to do this at the moment, but i am not sure if tools like CSI has the capabilities.
Appreciate the advice.

Hi,
Structural Authorizations "sits" on Standard authorizations. These Structural Authorizations will need to be defined manually ( as far as I know) depending on the "Evaluation Path".
Award points if answer was useful.
Thanks

EXAMPLES OF GAP ANALYSIS & Workaround for the respective GAPs

PP members:
I am looking for couple of <b>GAP Analysis examples</b> which one might have come across during implementation & support projects and what was the work around for the respective <b>GAPs</b>
If any one is interested in sharing documents related to AS_IS, TO-BE & GAP Analysis for PP module, I will be thankful
email id: [email id removed]
thanks in advance
Please do not ask for documents to be sent to your email ids.

Hi Suren,
AS-IS
you must interact closely with the super users and process owners for collecting requirements based on the Q&A db to understand their current business process like how they manufacture the parts, what steps they use for planning, production execution etc and what legacy systems or interfaces do they use and try to document all this information in the AS-IS processes either using flowcharts etc and get the sign off from the business process owners this is current business process WITHOUT SAP in place
TO-BE
This is what the business client intends to achieve in future WITH SAP implemented, so basically in this analysis, you need to identify what are the business processes that will run using SAP and how SAP will be managing thier day-to day activities and performing SAP Transactions. you also need o document it using either flowcharts and get a sign-off from the process owners as this will be the foundation based on which you will proceed further and develop your blueprint document and also start your realization activities
GAP
it is nothing but the difference between the AS-IS AND TO-BE analysis and here you identify the new changes or gaps between the business process without SAP and with SAP in place, it includes what types of configurations changes you need to make and developments and interfaces that will be needed to bridge the gap between the current state and the future state of business with SAP in place.
Examples of reports not in standard SAP, developments, application of user exits etc.., come under GAP
based on these three steps you then proceed to prepare your business blueprint document

SAP Report Gap Analysis Process

Hi guys,
We're about to implement SAP ECC to replace the legacy transcation system. Since there are so many report in ECC I really don't know how to start gap analysis( between ecc standard reports in ECC and required business reports in legacy). These report could cover serval different modules.
Do you guys have any ideas? Or is there a general way to do it?
Thanks

any Requirement specified by the client , which cannot be covered "as -it- is" by standard SAP transaction flow is called as a GAP.
gaps can be resolved either by suggesting work arounds , or by developments or can remain unresolved as accepted gaps.
for eg: The client wants that system should give a detailed break up of pricing conditions while Quotation comparison. This is not possible with standard Quotation comparison sheet, so we have to go for a Z development.
