SAP Simple Finance on top of ERP Foundation Extension Trial

Hello Folks,
has anyone tried to install SAP Simple Finance Add-On on top of the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial Edition?
We need a Simple Finance Demo system and I'm currently finding the best way to get it.
Steps to do on the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial system:
- Update Hana DB to SPS08
- Update Ehp7 to latest SPS07
- Install Simple Finance
Somebody tried one of these steps?
Best Regards

hi Patrick,
First of all, the SAP ERP Foundation Extension trial is there only for 30 days. In addition, you should not do any system landscape level updating/upgrading/adding add-ons, it is not compliant with Trial Terms and Conditions; on the other side, the trial license will not allow all these kind of development-like activities either.
Coming back to your question about the experience, my SAP ERP Foundation Extension RDS project is in the progress to update the trail with sFIN 2.0. What we have done:
1. completed data consistance check
2. finished fin application related preparation
Next week, we will update the system to SP7 and install the sFIN 2.0. Going forward, we will deliver a sFIN 2.0 trial to replace the existing ERP Foundation Extension trial. Planned RTC is by end of June,2015.
Stay tuned with us!

BW DataSource for Cash Management on SAP Simple Finance

Hi All Experts,
In our project, we have installed SAP Simple Finance 1.0 add-on for SAP Business Suite on HANA which introduced plenty of new functionality especially on Finance Accounting and Cash Management.
The impact from Simple Finance is that, it seems existing standard data sources for Treasury - Cash Management don't work anymore, i.e. there is no transaction data. I believe it's because the change on source table inside SAP ERP.
We also already activated local BI contents on SAP ERP side (i.e. embedded BW) which allows reporting directly on top of SAP ERP Query. All data models here are VirtualProvider based on function modules. And data is there!
However, due to some limitation, we are not authorized to modify or customize those BW objects on SAP ERP. And meanwhile, we have got a requirement to extract Cash Management data from SAP ERP to dedicated SAP BW system (not direct reporting on SAP ERP). We encountered a problem that we cannot use the existing BI contents; and also cannot generate export data source from VirtualProvider in ERP to be used a source towards BW.
Is there any workaround or resolution to extract data from SAP ERP (Simple Finance installed) to SAP BW? Any suggest is appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Thanoos

if i understood this right you are willing to use some HANA Live views?
And you want to consume modified versions for these in the BW system?
I can find several links describing how to do so ....
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40d205ae-7407-3110-b6be-881c8f17bf3a?QuickLink=index&…

Extending HANA Live Views
But these urls describe the way to extend/enhance 'view like' views i think.
How 'function module' views should be extended is something i have not seen/read before.
If the functionmodules point to HANA Calculation VIews maybe ..?
I reply to this thread to find out how this should be handled.

How different SAP Simple finance from SAP FI

Hi SAP Experts,
can you pls comment on my below doubt,
Hi, Is SAP FI and SAP simple finance both are same.Can you pls help out the difference because i am planning to take up SAP FI training.If you think that SAP simple finance would be better than SAP FI based out of change in technology..I shall take SAP Simply finance.
Also do let me know that is SAP simple finance can be used as extension to SAP FI.
Many thanks for your suggestion inputs in shaping my career !
Regards
Bharath Kumar

You need to dig into the data on help portal for Simple Finance or Smart Finance as it is called. HANA road map shows that HANA 2.0 (which is next version) will have entire Business Suite (ECC, SRM, CRM, APO etc., ) and BW will be sitting on single plat form of HANA. What that means is less infrastructure for BASIS to support. For functional consultants the world will change as below:
1) As explained by Berker lots of totals tables will be replaced by SAP HANA views.
2) SAP HANA modeling will allow you to create reports on the fly and access them through Analysis for Excel tool.
3) All overnight batch jobs will be a thing of the past as SLT (System Landscape Transformation) will allow you to sync real time data from non sap systems.
4) Smart Finance also got a feature called Central Journal which will bring the non sap data and transform it into FI document and post. This will be a high value tool addition.
5) Core functionality will remain same, however, consultants have to smart on shortening the month end close cycle, using the power of HANA system. You may see that the companies can reduce their close cycles as close as 1 to 2 days, with HANA.

An upgrade shopping list. One thing needed before surgery can commence.

Hi, I'm about to open the digital version of Pandora's box! I jest of course (well, sort of)... Seriously, I have great expectations for the successful upgrade of the "non-user replaceable" RAM for my G4 flat panel 800 to it's 1 GB limit.
In reading this forum I think that I have a pretty good idea of the items that I will need and where to buy them all (and please correct me if I'm wrong about any of these). All except for the PRAM battery, that is.
1. The Ram can be bought here at Crucial:
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT64M72S4D7E
2. The thermal Paste here:
http://www.directron.com/12grams.html
3. But the PRAM battery? I think the part number is: 3.6v lithium 1/2 AA and is sold at BatteriesPlus here:
http://www.batteriesplus.com/search/3.6v-lithium-1_2-AA.aspx
But upon searching out that part number I was provided with a dizzying amount of choices - i.e. 3 choices of Lithiums, and a slew of manufacturers.
Can anyone be more specific, as in the exact name, type and US dealer that I should use? As mentioned here, I might as well replace the battery while I have the case open.
Plus I'd be obliged for any tips you have, such as, is the Thermal Paste really necessary? These sites don't use it:
http://www.memoryx.net/howtoinfacdi.html or here:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
And yet I know that I have seen some great pictures and instructions of installing the RAM on a post from this site, that does use it. If anyone has the url for that I'd appreciate it, because I can't find it again.
I've read from mrtotes that - "The thermal paste is replaced on the two pillars connecting the base to the dome." - Does that mean that this is the only place for the paste?
I ask because I think that I read (on that mysterious missing url) that some kind of residue is scraped from the inner ridge of the dome upon opening it. What is this substance and do I have to replace it? I can't see as how it would be Thermal Paste if it is not involved with a heat sink or heat dissipation. Unless it has something to do with the bottom vents or the metal plates.
I must say that I've cracked a lot of cases before, but this is a whole new adventure. Wish me luck, and a sincere thank you in advance to all that are kind enough to help me out.

Hello,
PRAM Battery.
(Click to enlarge.)
There are two pillars so two places to apply a small blob of thermal paste to. Thermal paste is esential for the correct operation of iMac as failure to replace it will lead to overheating and the subsequent thermal stress and degradation of the logic board:

How to install Simple Finance Apps for SAP Fiori?

My system:
1. ERP 6.0 EHP 7
2. Netweaver Gateway installed
3. HANA db on different machine
What I have done:
1. I installed the add-on that I got from SMP. The apps seem to be present on the server side.
2. I added the necessary roles to my user so that I could use the apps in Fiori Launchpad.
3. Logged on to Fiori Launchpad and I can see the apps there, however every Tile that appears has a text "Cannot load tile" on it.
Looking at /IWFND/ERROR_LOG I see that the service gives "Resource Chip not found" error.
Questions:
1. How can I debug Fiori Launchpad related errors to find out why tiles don't load.
2. Can somebody please provide an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to install SFIN apps so that I could make sure that I did everything right.

Hello Rauno,
1. Open the Fiori Launchpad in Google Chrome using Chrome Developer Tools. Do you see any errors in Console or Network?
2. The SAP Help Portal documentation, e.g. Installation Information for SAP Fiori for the SAP Simple Finance Add-On 1.0, encompasses several activities which may be relevant to the error: System profile configuration, service activation, authorizations, applicable SAP notes, and so forth.

SUBU

Hi Subu
Initially you need to prepare topics wise questions and in the process the data collection should be from 2 sources i.e. Primary - collecting information directly by interacting with the client and the other one is Secondary - from the documents that you collect from the client.
After formal introduction during the Kick off meeting never directly jump down to interact with the client you need to patiently observe the day to day business process of the client - department wise for the first few days. Do document all the observations that are made by you, this will help you to analyse the gap between the legacy system and std SAP Process.
The first and the foremost thing is that we need to see on what flatform all the business process relating to Accounting is maintained i.e the software used to store the legacy data.\
Now I will mention some of the important points that can be used a check list during your interaction with the client.
1.We are the consultants who need to freeze the Enterprise Structure first and later on the other module consultants will add their respective enterprise elements to the enterprise structure freezed by us. Therefore this process will by itself will take not less than 1 to 2 months. This process is the Typical phase where a lot of interaction/understanding/experience will come into limelight. So be attentive and observe the process throughly, once the Enterprise Structure is freezed and configured we cannot withdraw from the system.
2. Codification of the Enterprise Elements play a vital role do follow some naming convention. Here coding can be in 3 forms i.e. pure numeric, alfanumeric or pure alphabets.
3. Identify the chart of accounts that is maintained.
4. Grouping process of the GL Account According tos Schedule VI of Companies Act 1956
5. Customer & Vendor Grouping - payment terms maintained - Down payment if applicable - how the memos maintained.
6.. Collect all the documents relating to Procurement Process right from indent preparation to billing and followed by payment. This is very useful.
7. CIN plays a very important role regarding this we will have a seperate session in the days to come.
This is just a beginning and hope this will help you and as the time comes up do feel free to put up questions and I will clarify for the same.

My outlook will not open yet all other microsoft packages will. When I click on the icon, the 'o' logo will come up for a split second but will not open the package - need to receive emails asap!

My outlook will not open yet all other microsoft packages will. When I click on the icon, the 'o' logo will come up for a split second but will not open the package - need to receive emails asap!

You're very welcome!
I meant holding the "option" (or "alt") key on your keyboard as you click the Outlook icon on the Dock, and continuing to hold it until you see the Microsoft Database Utility come up. Alternatively, you can open the utility by navigating to Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office and then double-clicking the Microsoft Database Utility app.
When you rebuild your database using that program, a backup copy of your original database (containing your account info, contacts, mail, calendars, etc) will be created. As a security precaution, you should also ensure you have a backup of your database (which you can find by going to Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ and copying the contents of that folder onto an external drive).

Exact Suport package level in SAP ERP 6.05 SPS04

Hi,
I wanted to know detailed list of levels of support packages contained in SAP ERP 6.05 SPS04 AS ABAP.
Where can I find this list other than using Solman?
Any pointer appreciated.
thanks.

Hi,
Yeah. Application, download etc for EHP5 is only through Solman.
But, am not sure why SAP has not released any notes for finding support package level. It should not be a complicated task.
Such information might come handy in following scenario, for e.g.
1) I just got new client and want to know SPS level of implemented EHP5/ EHP4 etc.
2) I have installed IDES ECC 6.0 EHP5 and want to which EHP5 stack default installation has.
Additionally, some of SAP products like SAP Best practices demands for very specific SPS level of EHP5. So why not to have SAP release notes for the same and make information flow simpler against going through series of steps in Solman.
Share thoughts.
Thanks.

AUR helper to find wich package need rebuild

As we all know, package from AUR need rebuild when there dependency are updated. What I would like to find is some command or script that could tell me which package from aur need to be rebuild.
Is there already something like that that exist? If no do you have any idea how it would be possible to detect this, I could develop it but I don't know what info I would need to create that list.

Many aur tools can tell when an aur package has a newer version available, but AFAIK there is no tool to detect when a rebuild of the same version would be necessary. There are a few things that could be checked to cover many such cases, but there will always be corner cases that make such detection highly impractical if not impossible.
Though *most* such cases would be do to changed library versions on which AUR sourced and compiled binaries depend. A process like the following could detect candidates:
1) pacman -Qqm for a list of packages not in the main repos
2) For each package from (1) run pacman -Ql <pkg> and search for binaries.
3) For each binary from step two, run ldd on it to get the list of libs needed
4) Check each lib from 3 to see if it still exists, if not, the package needs rebuilding
This should cover many cases, but then there are likely other causes of a need of a rebuild. For a moment I thought about java vm updates, but actually I don't think this would be the case. With a JRE update it will either maintain backward compatibility or the java apps would have to be revised anyhow - a simple rebuild of the same version wouldn't help (I *think*, but what I know about java could fit on the back of a very small postage stamp).
EDIT: I can't think of a time that I was ever in this situation. I have ~20 AUR packages installed and have for some time and I have never needed to rebuild the *same* version of one of them due to updates to other packages. Have you been in such a situation? What was the package?

Error Message: Information is needed before this report can be processed.

Hi Experts,
I am scheduling a Crystal Report from Infoview. Data Source for Report is BEx Query.
While scheduling i am providing all details like Parameters, Formats, Destination etc.
But Schedule is failing. The reason is parameter field is empty when i checked
in failed status , as below.
Parameters: [No Value]; [No Value]
Error Message: Information is needed before this report can be processed.
But when i am viewing the report with the same parameters, it is executing.
Please help

Edited by: Ajay Singh on Sep 15, 2009 1:05 PM

Hi,
Try the below mentioned steps in addition to scheduling of your report.
Method 1: Following information might be helpful in resolving the issue.
To check if the .rep file exists in the Output FRS
1.Log on to the Central Management Console (CMC). Click Objects.
2.Click the report object to view its properties.
3.Click the History tab to view the list of instances.
4.Click Success to view the latest instance. Scroll to Instance Location.
5.Note the path name to the report.
6.Check the file store under the Output directory for the report.
If the report does not exist, delete the instance from the History tab in the CMC. Reschedule the report.
Method 2: To verify the configuration of multiple FRS
1.Log on to the CMC.
2.Click Servers.
3.Click the first Input file server. Note the home directory.
4.Click Home > Servers.
5.Click the second Input file server.
6.Check the home directory path for the second Input FRS. It must point to the same directory as the first Input FRS.
7.Repeat steps 2 through 6 to check the Output FRS.
====================
NOTE:
The Input and Output FRS physical machines must be able to connect to the file share for the file store. Also the Input and Output FRS are installed using the local administrator account. That account may not have rights to the network share for the file store. The security on the file store must be changed so the local administrator for each server can access it.
====================
Above mentioned steps are for deski/webi reports.
Cheers,
Suresh ALuri.
