Information about SAP PPM needed

Dear Sir or Madam,
my name is Jennifer Fassbender and I am working in the “Project Management Office” (PMO) of the research and development department (R&D) of ERCO. Our group serves as a cut surface in between the R&D and to other departments all over the company. Our team is in charge of the PLP (product launch process) which is one the leading processes at ERCO.
Currently we are using the SAP PS in our ERP system to plan and control our product development projects which belong to the PLP. We are working on a lot of different projects simultaneously, which makes a multi-project management necessary. Therefore we are thinking about implementing SAP PPM.
In addition to my job I am studying industrial engineering in part time at the University of Applied Sciences in Hagen. Right now I am writing my bachelor’s thesis. To combine study and job, the content and aim of this thesis will be something like “Development of an operational scenario to use the tool SAP PPM regarding to the design of a multi-project management within the R&D department of the ERCO GmbH”.
And this is the reason I am writing to you. I need a lot of information about SAP PPM.
Could you please be so kind and help me with the following questions:
Can you describe the (biggest) difference between SAP PS and SAP PPM?
What might be the mayor reason to implement SAP PPM?
What are the main use cases for SAP PPM?
Are there difficulties to run SAP PS together with SAP PPM?
Can you send me a detailed cost plan or license model?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Kind regards
Jennifer Fassbender

Hi Jennifer,
Answering to your questions-
Can you describe the (biggest) difference between SAP PS and SAP PPM?
In PPM, there are 2 areas, PPM-Portfolio Management and PPM Project Management. SAP PS can be compared with PPM-Project Management.
PPM-Proj, Mgmt. is mainly used for certain types of projects like Consulting, development & IT projects and User interface(UI) is very simple and user-friendly in PPM.
PS can be used in any type of projects but its full capabilities are used in capital Investment, overhead costs & customer projects. And moreover SAP PS has very good tight integration with all modules of SAP.
Overall both has it's own pros and cons. More details can be found the below links.
Which is the difference between SAP PPM & SAP PS?
2. What might be the mayor reason to implement SAP PPM?
3. What are the main use cases for SAP PPM?
Major reason could be cross-project resource planning, portfolio management for better financial & capacity planning across projects etc.,
4. Are there difficulties to run SAP PS together with SAP PPM?
By standard, SAP PPM is having integration with SAP PS. Under Portfolio management we can use any of the project managements tools(PPM-Project management, SAP PS & MS Project) for detailing the project & resource planning.
5. Can you send me a detailed cost plan or license model?
Licensing terms varies for different customers, so it is better to contact your local SAP accounts manager for details.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ravi

Where can i find clear information about sap function modules?

where can i find clear information about sap function modules?
for example,
if i want to know whats the use of function module "SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR" .
where i can find all the detail info..
is there any sap transaction code for knowing about all function modules and there use?
Regards
Smitha

Hi:
For documentation, you have to find it out in se37 but it is not neccessary every Fm would have.
Now question is about its used (if you know th e function module)-> go in se37-> put function module -> select where used list -> select used in like - program, class, BSP application etc -> click on ok; it would give the list of its used and just go in that find how it is being used.
if you have to find the function module for table - > go in se11 -> select table name -> click on where used list -> select function module interface and click on ok, it would give the list of its used.
Otherwise go in g o o g l e dot c o m.

Need information about SAP EM Configuration and Implementation

Hi,
I am new to SAP EM.I need to do Configuration for EM and Procurement visibility process.
Please provide some information on configuration of EM with examples.
Thanks,
Prasuna.

Hi
There is wealth of information available on the [Service Marketplace |https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/scm]on the standard visibility scenarios which will probably get you started. Procurement visibility scenario is one of the them and have documentations.
There are couple of points which are worth knowing that SAP Event Management
- requires configuration in both application system (ECC) and SAP EM system (SCM)
- good understanding of the function module (extractors) for sending and posting events
- well thought supply chain events (design) business would like to monitor and manage
- reactions to both expected and unexpected events (follow-up activities)
The other resource available are [SAP PRESS technical book |http://www.sap-press.com/products/Implementing-and-Configuring-SAP-Event-Management.html] and [published case studies |http://www.scmexpertonline.com/article.cfm?session=&id=4804] on the SAP EM Procurement visibility scenario.

Information about SAP Strategy Management (SAP SSM )

Can someone tell me where I can find the modul "SAP Strategy Management 2007" or where I can order it? Is it a standalone solution or is it part of a package, maybe of the CPM? I couldn't find it in the catalog.
Thank you in advance...
Rob

Rob,
As Jean pointed out SAP Strategy Management (SSM) 7.0 has just been released for Ramp-Up.
SSM 7.0 is integrated tightly to Netweaver. This can be a stand-alone product, and it is also designed to work in the larger Financial Performance Management suite, that would include BPC (Budgeting, Planning, & Consolidation) and PCM (Profitability and Cost Management).
I was not sure what you meant by ordering the SSM product. You can contact your account executive if by ordering you meant purchasing.
Since the product just entered Ramp-Up, even partners or consultants would have to be part of the Ramp-Up process to gain access to SSM 7.0.
With integration to Netweaver, I strongly suggest that you consider SSM 7.0 if you are looking for strategy management.
Thanks for your interest!
Bob

SAP SRM & BW

Hi Experts,
I am pretty new to this forum. How does SRM interacts with SAP BW? It there a BW system embedded in SRM (like i.e. SAP SCM APO or CRM). Or do we need a separate BW system for reporting?
Kind regards
Aban

Yes . BW is a separe application server .
SRM and BW connected via RFC.
You can use this business scenario to analyze the expenditure of your company incorporating data from a wide range of heterogeneous systems as well as from all relevant business units and areas.
SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) uses the business intelligence features of SAP NetWeaver to access connected systems and extract the information needed to gain insight into spending practices across the entire corporate group. The reports cover spending for direct and indirect material as well as for services. You can also configure your system to provide the following:
Capture of spend for procurement documents without any purchase order (PO) reference or other detailed information about the procurement
Harmonization of master data for reporting purposes, allowing for identification of duplicate suppliers and assignment of product to standard classification schemas such as the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) and eCl@ss. The harmonization can be done by using SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP NetWeaver BI) Local Master Data Alignment (for limited data volumes).
With these features, SAP SRM provides you with a clear view of procurement costs and supply-base data by highlighting consolidated spend volume, supplier redundancies, and demand aggregation opportunities.
Prerequisites
You can implement this business scenario with different releases of the relevant application components. However, only certain combinations are valid. For more informations, see
SAP SRM Master Guide on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/instguides
Scenario & Process Component List on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/scl
The SAP SRM-specific content is described in the SAP NetWeaver documentation at http://help.sap.com SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver <release> Library SAP Library SAP NetWeaver Library BI Content Supplier Relationship Management Spend Analysis
