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
SmithaHi:
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...
RobRob,
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!

Need information about notification with SAP Netweaver Identity Management
Dear Experts,
I need some informations about send e-mail from SAP NIM. We want to send an e-mail after creation of sap users etc.
Please note that today we have a Domino/Lotus server.
I undertsood that we can send e-mail through the Identy Center (IC) component. But I did not find how to set up this solution? I did not find architecture informations?
Could you please provide me the different configuration steps?
Should I install another component? Or I just have to configure my SMTP Server?
Also, have you got the best practices for this step?
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Hocine NAÏHello,
For notification, first you need to create a repository of generic type and provide the lotus notus host details in the repository constant.
Eg:
EMAIL_SERVER abc.def.com
EMAIL_ORIGINATOR orignator mail ID
Then create a task with the "To Generic" type Pass.
Select the name of the function below in the Next data entry of the Destination tab of the pass.
and provide the attribute and value as below:
MSKEYVALUE %MSKEYVALUE%
EMAIL_RECIPIENT recipients mail ID
EMAIL_SUBJECT Hello %DISPLAYANEM%
LOCATION %LOCATION%
Eg of a Function to sent mail is shown below:
function SendEmail(Par){
Recipient = Par.get("EMAIL_RECIPIENT");
Subject = Par.get("EMAIL_SUBJECT")
Location = Par.get("LOCATION");
Body = "This is a report from SAP NetWeaver Identity Center at %$ddm.date% %$ddm.time%<BR><BR>";
Body = Body + "Your location is <B>" + Location + "</B><BR>";
Body = Body + "<BR>";
Body = Body + "Best regards<BR>";
Body = Body + "MaXware AS<BR>";
UserFunc.uSendSMTPMessage("%$glb.EMAIL_ORIGINATOR%", Recipient,Subject,Body,"%$glb.EMAIL_SERVER%",1);
