IT Governance and ERP

I am doing a research on IT Governance and ERP, that is Finding the measures that are in ERP system that supports governance.
For this, I have to develop a  balanced Scorecard for various areas in Governace such as Compliance, Change Management, etc. and Apply the scorecard to a SAP case study.
Does anyone have any information regarding my research? Pls post it..
Help me guys...
Thanks
Sai..

Hi  Ramesh,
Thanks for the reply. The information u sent was very useful. I have a doubt, Is scope the only factor to consider or is there any other factors which can be considered.
I am sorry, As far as i know COBIT is an IT GOVERNANCE standard framework. When an organisation implements ERP will they implement the COBIT standards or is there any ERP Framework to implement.
Can i use a Balanced Scorecard and Critical Success Factor Methodology to find the measures?
Unfortunately, Since this is my academic projects it should involve the techniques which is in the boundaries of my subject.
What I had proposed was, to create a framework using Balanced Scorecard for IT Governance, taking the important factors
such as IT Project, Business Process, External Compliance and Change Management.
Applying this framework to an SAP case study to obtain the results.
The research work will be evaluated by getting feedback from the experts.
I am not sure whether i am going on a right way.
Pls advice.
Thanks
Sai.

  • Communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System by cresting RFCUSER with user type communications data instead of Dialog user.
    Because of audit policy , none of DIALOG user should have SAP_ALL profile.
    Is there a option to set up communications  between PC/RM Backend and ERP System without a Dialog user setting.
    Pravin

    Hi Pravin,
       You are right and the user should be always communication or system. GRC AC allows for the user to be communication or system. Can you try with PC/RM RFC user and see if it works? It should work

  • Client Copy in BI 7.0 and ERP 6.0

    Hi
    I have done a system copy of both the BI system and it's source ERP system and am following the post copy steps to ensure that the connectivity between the two is maintained.  However before I run BDLS to change the logical system names I would like to change the client numbers on both the BW and ERP client.  Does anyone know what the implications of doing a client copy in both systems is and then running BDLS for these logical system names?  Has anyone tried this and was it successful?  Can you do a successful client copy of BI?

  • Governance and Data Management

    Hello,
    We need to know about governance and data management, from this week I am working as master data coordinator in Empresas Polar (Mass Consumer Products Industry), where the role of this function is to assure the creation and maintenance of the master data, as initial activities we are raising statistics to know the most important information of the master data in all SAP modules, and the idea is across own developments in R/3, Portal, Workflow and Tools that exist on the market to simplify Update of the information on the part of the user, we know that in SAP the information is created in different views or transactions, which makes very difficult the opportune update of the data.
    I am interested to know about MDM or any tool/application which eolud help us,
    I appreciate your help,
    Thanks

    Hi torres,
    The MDM system for master data management and single-source cross-media catalog publishing does more than just database management, asset management, or even database publishing.It uses an industry-standard SQL-based DBMS as a u201Ccontaineru201D for the repository database. But then it goes much further to implement an elegant and seamless combination of many different technologies,concepts, and minute details to create a comprehensive solution to an
    age-old problem.Many of the features incorporated into the MDM system are unique.
    ADVANTAGES
    End-to-end solution. The MDM system provide an end-to-end
    solution that automates the entire process of managing master data from start to finish, including bulk data import, centralized master data management, and published output to a variety of media.
    u2022 Database-driven system. MDM layers a thick shell of functionality on top of a powerful SQL-based DBMS so that the MDM system is fully scalable and the master data is fully accessible to other SQLbased applications and tools.
    u2022 Large capacity. The MDM system efficiently manages master data repositories containing up to millions of records.
    u2022 Superior performance. MDM breaks through SQL performance
    bottlenecks to deliver blazingly fast performance that is measured in milliseconds rather than seconds and is literally 100u20131000 times that of a SQL DBMS alone. No other system on the market today delivers comparable performance.
    u2022 Powerful search and retrieval. All of the MDM modules include
    powerful search and retrieval capabilities, so that an entire repository of thousands or millions of items can be easily searched and any item or group of items located in a matter of seconds.
    u2022 Cross-media publishing. The MDM system is the only one on the market today that includes tightly integrated functionality for both electronic and printed output, for Web, CD-ROM, and paper output from a single MDM repository.

  • MDG-S BP Grouping,BP Role,BP Categeory and ERP Vendoe Account Group

    Hi
    Can anybody explains me releationship between MDG-S BP Grouping,BP Role,BP Categeory and ERP Vendoe Account Group?
    It seems there is no requried field except Change Request Description.If we input value for CR Description only, we can still able to sumbit and activate CR and Bussiner Partner ID (Which is internally generated) will be stored in MDG stagging table for entity type BP_HEADER.
    My question is then what is use of BP Grouping,BP role in this as it contains blank value? Also it observed that for new ERP Vendor the Account Group field is always in non editable mode,Any reason for this? Same issue with Company Code after selecting CC it displayed as non editable field before submitting CR as well.

    Hi Sanjay,
    When you select New -> Organization, below screen comes, In Grouping drop down you need to select Vendor Account Group and in Role list enter role.
    Follow same procedure when you want to create next vendor.
    Under new pushbutton, you will get three options:
    Organization means when you want to create vendor.
    Person means you are creating person not vendor, these person you can assign as a contact person to the vendor in Relationship tab.

  • Connection Lotus Notes and ERP 2005

    Hello experts!
    I have some simple questions:
    - What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
    - Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?

    Hi,
    There are couple Lotus integration products available from IBM (both pretty old but still will do the job):
    <a href="http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_LN_Lotus_Notes_Introduction.asp">Pretty detailed blog</a>
    <a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/sapconnector/">IBM Documentation</a>
    <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/lei-sap/">IBM Documentation on LEI</a>
    They use RFC connectivity - check with IBM on support, from SAP perspective both should work.
    SAP Business connector is being replaced with PI, but either are nothing to do with Lotus connectivity I think

  • Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) test systems on same HANA DB server Appliance

    Hello
    I wander is it possible to have Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U). All for test/system purposes:
    I am sure we need separate application servers for Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U),
    I would have question regarding Appliance i.e Hana DB server. can Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) products reside on same Appliance i.e Hana DB server in MCOS or MCOD? (I am sure that for production use this is no-go option)
    What is the case when renting cloud solution?
    Thank you a lot in advance

    Check the java part, most of the Solman Web Based thing use the java, check the management console to ensure message server and dispatcher proper work, normally is: http://hostname:50113.
    If central note give you problems deimplement all the not complete implemented notes and use SUM
    and MOPZ to update your system with the last SP, then apply the central note acording to your SP level.
    We found that have the system in the last level prevents a lot of problems because of not complete implemented notes.

  • Is it possible to install Solman and ERP on the single Host

    Hi,
    I want to install Solution Manager 4.0 and ERP ECC 6.0 on a single Server.
    So is it possible to choose the System-ID e.g. "XA0" for Solman4.0 and "XA1" for ERP ECC 6.0.
    Firstly, do I need to demand two Installationnumber, one for SOLMAN and the other for ERP.
    Secondly, how should I deal with the Systemnumber should I choose 00 for java and 01 for ABAP and which number should I choose for ERP.
    Finally, how is it possible to access to the two system with only one server, naturally using the SAP Logon. Do the Systemnumber has a real impact on that.
    Please, send me a respond as clearly as possible. I will be thankful for that.
    Ps. I installed the two systems before, but unfortunately I used the instancenumber 00 for ERP. The impact on that, that I wasn't able to access Solman anyway. I used the same System-ID for Solman and ERP, does it really matter?
    Regards,
    Kais

    Hi Kias
    1. Yes
    2. Depending on if you are highly available you may need more system numbers - for example there are SCS and ASCS components. I would recommend installing 10 apart (system 00 and system 10). It makes little different which number is which.
    3. Yes, system number relates to something called ports. ports are used to listen for incoming traffic of that type. (I listen on port 3200 for the ECC system GUI traffic, I listen on 3310 for the solman RFC traffic).
    If you are in the same local network as the segment you will be able to access all ports on a server, but if through a firewall or various other part of the network you are likely to need to request a few ports to be opened.
    You cannot have different systems on the same number due to on one executable (not just SAP) can use a port at a time.and also such local thing like shared memory would not make this feasable.
    As you installed two systems on the same system number you can start either one successfully, as long as the other is stopped at the time.
    I hope this help
    regards

  • Call EP and ERP through web dispatcher

    Hi,
    I have configure multiple system on Web dispatcher EP and ERP.
    My issue is our company do not want to publish EP and ERP over the internet but by the web dispatcher uses as a reverse proxy i want to publish the web dispatcher only now my EP called successfully over the internet but WDA application is not working cause it's redirects the directly to ERP so error occur's page not found.is there any way-out to call internally the ERP system.
    Regards:
    Akash Ahuja

    Hi Akash,
    As per my understanding from your message. If your EP system called successfully through internet , then your ERP system also should visible via internet. kindly check with your Network team that the ERP system there must be firewall settings to open. For internal call out you can use "redirect menthod" for portal using instead ofhttp://<host>:<port>/irj use http://<host>:<port>/redirect. To change the authentication for another application use:http://<host>:<port>/redirect?url=/customapp.
    Need more information about your issue.
    Thanks,

  • CRM and ERP in one System

    Hi everybody,
    SAP plans to deliver CRM and ERP as  an Co Implementation; that means CRM and ERP will be available in one system with one SID.
    Does anybody know more, especially when will this be available?
    Thanks and regards.
    Andreas

    Hej.
    The link information between sap item and archived document is stored in tables toa01, toa02, toa03 or toahr. Maybe you can do a mapping/export/import from the entries between erp and crm....
    additionally you need to customize connection to the same archives.
    Did not try that, but i think it's worth testing :o)

  • Internal use flag of attachment in SRM and ERP

    Hi
    In SRM RFx bid document, when i attach file and checked internal flag for the attachment,
    how does it behave in ERP system? does ERP has option for internal use?
    Currently i using Content server and storing file attachment in Document type SRM.
    Where can i confirm the internal flag is checked for the document in ERP.
    Looks like SRM has internal use option and ERP does not have internal use option at DMS screen CV01n
    or document screen
    Pls advice
    Regards
    Chandra

    Where can i confirm the internal flag is checked for the document in ERP.
    As far as I understand, ECC RFQ does not have attachment capability. Where would you want the RFx in SRM and its attachments to flow in ECC?
    If you are talking about follow-on documents of an SRM RFx, such as PO/CTR to be replicated in ECC, then no, ECC attachment does not have "internal" flag. Such flag is only in SRM to indicate the visibility of an attachment to the purchasing company and vendors. If "internal" is set, the document is invisible to the vendors/suppliers.

  • Will catalog item and ERP contract be in synch?

    Dear Experts,
    Could you please comment if the SRM-MDM catalog item and ERP contract will be in synch? Our client has the below business process:
    At the end of the RFx process, the system will create a central contract in the SAP SRM system. Now, the central contract will be distributed to the ERP MM system. Once the contract is created in the backend ERP MM system, the contract will be pushed to SRM MDM catalog from ERP MM system by MECCM transaction code.
    Now, the catalog contract item is used in the shopping cart. Will the shopping cart item quantity get offset in the ERP MM contract?
    I hope, if the ERP MM contract quantity gets offset, it will update the central contract in SAP SRM as well.
    I appreciate your input and comments.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan
    Ranjan Sutradhar

    HI,
    When ever a contract is uploaded to SRM MDM catalog and if this item is used in your SC from the catalog, your PO will have the contract price. Once the PO is order there will be a call off performed on the contract.
    Hence whenever the ERP contract has a call off, automatic call off on the SRM cenrtal contract will also be performed.
    Regards

  • Basic question regarding Contract data exchange between CRM and ERP

    Hi,
    1) At a very general level, can somebody tell me via what technology are contract documents exchanged between CRM and ERP? IDocs, RFC modules or proxies?
    2) Is it possible to sychronise changes in a contract, e.g. if the contract is changes in the ERP system, those changes are auotomatically updated in the CRM contract?
    3) Can somebody point me to any documentation on this?
    Kind Regards,
    Tony.

    contracts are exchanged between CRM ans ERP ssytem ny RFC and FM , you use object SALESCONTRACT for this,it is possible to synchronize changes between both the systems

  • Integration between SRM and ERP in part of Business Partners

    Hi all
    Could we make integration between SRM and ERP in part of Business Partners if we use Standalone Scenario? Thanks

    Hi
    Any scenario, You have EBP system as well as you said you have ERP system too. so you can do BBPGETVD and pull the vendor records. Normally standalone system may not have ERP system. In standalone Your account payable system integrated with your EBP system.
    If you want to create a vendors locally in SRM  you can create local vendors via web  BBPMAININT or BP in GUI.

  • Remove RFC calls between SRM and ERP

    Hi,
    Did any of you ever worked on removing RFC calls between SRM and ERP systems?
    Does SAP maintains a lost of these built-in RFC calls?
    What are the known constraints to replace them by webservice calls ?
    Thanks
    Yann

    Hi Yann,
    There is nothing on the SAP database for SRM and the backend using webservice.
    There is for connections to SRM catalog.
    I haven't heard anything about plans to change this.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
