Integration between SAP BI 3.5 and Business Object

Hi experts
I'm working on a SAP ECC 5.00 environment with SAP BI 3.5
We want introduce the Business object application for the SAP Bi reporting, without upgrade SAP BI to 7.0 release.
Can you suggest me a documentation or similar explaining the pros and cons of this type integration, and possible problems we can occur on (if any).
another question is: is it possible upgrade SAP BI to 7.0 release maintaining Netweaver 2004, or the upgrade to Netweaver 2004s is required?
if this upgrade is required, it will affect also the ECC (from 5.00 o 6.00)?
thanks in advance
regards
katia

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

PI Integration between SAP ERP system and Cloud for Customer

Hi,
We have set up integration between Cloud for Customer tenant and our SAP ERP system via PI.
For performing initial load, when we try to activate change pointers for Message types in the SALE transaction, we don't find the MATMAS_CFS and DEBMAS_CFS in the ERP system(IDES ECC 6.0 EhP6).
CODERINT 600(SP1 &2) are installed and BC set COD_BYD_ERP_INT is activated in the system.
Could anyone let us know what are we missing here, so that we can get the message types.
Also we tried using Message type MATMAS for sending a message from ERP to Cloud for Customer. In PI message monitoring, the status shows as 'Processed successfully', however we do not find the message in Business Communication Monitoring in the Cloud system. neither do we see the Business Object created for that Material master.
Please let me know how to debug such a scenario.

Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.

Integration between SAP and third party tax software

can some body explain me or provide me docs regarding integration between sap and third party tax software like vertex.
Thanks

Hi
First configure the same via the following menu path:
1.) IMG>Financial accounting>Financial accounting global settings>Taxes on sales/purchases>Basic settings>External tax calculation>Define physical destination
2.) Then test connection (option is available there).
3.) If the connection is successful, also verify that the external tax package installed supports the R/3 4.6 version of the API. You do that by going to:
System Information>Function List
Check if the following functions are listed:
RFC_CALCULATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_UPDATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_FORCE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION
4.) Then test the tax data retrieval:
From SE37, select the relevant function modules like RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION.
The above 4 steps are necessary to satisfy that the RFC connection is established

Difference between SAP R/3 , ECC and MySAP

Hi,
I would like to know the difference between SAP R/3 ,ECC and MySAP. Please let me know the difference , the links earlier found were not getting into my brains.
To my understanding the SAP R/3 4.5b,4.6c - earlier versions contains the basic modules like Logistics(MM,SD) and PP (core functional modules), on technical point the little function modules were obsolete in these version.
4.7 (included the Web application server,for web based and integrating with XI,Enterprise core ,Enterprise Extensions ) + core functional modules +.HR + FI/CO+ SCM (MM,WM,PP) + PLM
ECC (Enterprise Core Component) - ?
MySAP - ?
Correct me and also your answer will help me understand better.

Difference between SAP R/3 , mySap and ASAP

Hi all
Please tell what is clear Difference between SAP R/3 , mySap and ASAP
Thanks in advance

hi Naresh,
SAP R/3--
   SAP R/3 is SAP's integrated software solution for client/server and distributed open systems. SAP's R/3 is the world's most-used standard business software for client/server computing.
R/3 stands for Real Time and 3-tier architecture.
mySAP --
            In SAP's words "mySAP.com is an open collaborative business environment of personalized solutions on demand"
In our words, mySAP.com is actually a collection of three things.
a) The Marketplace is a website where buyers and sellers can register themselves, and then buy and sell from each other.
b) The Workplace is a piece of software which sits on your desktop, and allows you (after ity is setup correctly) to gain access to all of the systems you use in your company. It is, naturally, tightly integrated with both SAP and the Marketplace.
c) mySAP.com is also the umbrella name for all of SAP's internet-enabled applications.
ASAP--
      ASAP (AcceleratedSAP) is a step-by-step methodology for speeding up the implementation of an SAP R/3 system. The components of ASAP, which can be used together or individually, are called accelerators. Accelerators are based on the best practices of SAP customers from around the world and consist of a number of templates, questions, and scenarios that require user input to help the user determine the best way to implement their R/3 system. According to SAP literature, ASAP can reduce the time required to implement an R/3 system by as much as 50%.
If helpful, reward points...

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

Dear Angel SAP,
Link Between SAP SD, MM & FI
1. In SAP you will always get integration with other modules. SD will interact with FI, MM will interact with SD :-
1a. Looking at MM and SD interaction first, take the scenario of a third party order process. This process uses a purchase order (which is sent to your vendor). Also invoice verification is used further along the process to check that the invoice you send to your customer is the same material and quantity as that which the vendor sends to you (but obviously shipped
directly to your customer).
1b. Billing is an SD function. But SAP needs to know, when processing a customer's payment, to which GL account the payment has to be processed. For instance payment of a UK based material would be placed in a different GL account to that of a non-UK based material. Furthermore, a UK based customer may have a different GL account to that of an Export customer. This is configured in Account Determination.
2. ABAPers are there to essential do some bespoke development. Your integration, or interaction, with them would be when specifying the tables, fields, input fields, a simple process explanation, data mapping (if doing an interface from one system to another) etc.                 *-- Shahee
The link between SD and MM :-
1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availibility check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order,the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM.
Now the link between SD and FI :-
1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the bacgground. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.
2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI
3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM
SD Integration points with other modules
SD module is highly integrated with the other modules in SAP.

Hi,
I don't know what is a COSMOS system and I don't know your company....
You will never get meaningful answers on an internet forum for questions so dependent on your specific environement and requirements. If you know your ECC6 system, then read the COSMOS documentation and ask the COSMOS vendor.

Difference between SAP Learning Solution & Training and Event Manag

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the Difference between SAP Learning Solution & Training and Event Manag.
Which approach would be recommended for the Training and Event Management implementation..
Pls let me know the pro's and con's of both the approaches.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Training and Event Management (now called <b>Training Management (TEM)</b>, sometimes referred to as PE in SAP documentation). Employees/Learners were able to book courses and view their training history via Employee Self-Service, and supported the full suite of classroom training administration functions.
SAPs current learning software is SAPs Learning Solution (LSO). Companies still can use TEM to administer classroom-only training or they can choose to leverage LSO functionality to deliver classroom training as well as Web-based training, virtual classrooms, blended learning, and collaboration to their employees.
Training Management (TEM) serves as the foundation of SAPs Learning Solution (LSO). However, LSO includes much new functionality such as administering and delivering Web-based training, virtual classrooms, curricula, and online tests. The entire LSO consists of SAP Authoring Environment, Content Management System (CMS), Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Portal, Content Player, Offline Player, Business Intelligence (BI), and the Collaboration functionality.

Dev

Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects Enterprise

Can anybody just tell me in brief what is the Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects Enterprise?

Here's the brief summary:
CR Server is essentially Business Objects Enterprise with the following limitations:
- Limited to a single server (no clustering)
- Limited to a maximum of 4 CPUs
- Limited to the Crystal Reports content type
- Limited to a maximum of 20 Concurrent Users (or CAL - Concurrent Access License)
- One CAL can service between 5 and 10 'real people' depending on your usage patterns.
- No Web Intelligence
- No Crystal Xcelsius
- No Dashboarding
- No Enterprise Performance Management
- No Data Integrator
It is ideal for a departmental or a small company reporting server. It includes
- CAL licensing (BusinessObjects Enterprise doesn't)
- One copy of CR Developer Edition for every 5 CAL purchased (Report designers are extra with BusinessObjects Enterprise)
- Live Office for office integration
- Sharepoint 2003 Portal Integration Kit
- Web based report administration and consumption
- Business Views Manager for semantic layer maintenance
I hope this helps - let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
