METHODOLOGY of SAP Project

Hi Friends,
What is the "METHODOLOGY of SAP Project". What are those.
Plz gimme a detailed reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram

It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
1) Set the project scope.
2) Generate the Project IMG.
3) Generate the BPML.
4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.
rewards, if you are satisfied with the explaination...

    what is methodology in sap

    Hi,
    Welcome to SDN.
    The ASAP Roadmap provides the methodology for implementing and continuously optimizing your SAP System. It divides the implementation process into five phases.
    Phase 1: During this phase the team goes through initial planning and preparation for SAP project.
    • Define project goals and objectives
    • Clarify the scope of implementation
    • Define project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence
    • Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources
    Phase 2: Business Blueprint
    The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run SAP to support their business. Also, to refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops.
    Phase 3: Realization:
    The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope). Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation.
    Phase 4: Final Preparation:
    The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
    Phase 5: Go Live & Support:
    The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.
    For any help on the ASAP methodology you can refer to the links.

  • De-link PPM Item with SAP Project

    Hello,
    Can somebdoy throw a light on what to do in case I want to de-link a PPM-item with SAP project.This situation may rise if I want to change the project actuals going to bucket A to bucket B.As I can not change the relationship of an item with the bucket, I am looking for alternate solution where I can de-link SAP Project with SAP PPM item.
    thank you!
    Regards,
    Mahendra

    Hi Mahendra
    If you are meaning to de-link a PS Project from a PPM Item, you can from the Item navigate to the 'Relationships' tab and then on the 'object links'sub-tab select and delete the assignment:
    You can also remove a cProject relationship by clicking the 'Related Objects' sub-tab
    Your comment that you cannot move an Item to a new Bucket - is this because your business process does not allow you to do so? Because this is definitely possible in the system.
    Let me know if you have any further questions as I am not sure I have addressed your question

  • SAP PS & SAP Project Management

    Hi all of you,
    Can any one give me clarity on the available functionalities in SAP Project Systems and that of SAP Project Management. My requirement is, my client is using one Project Management tool, where can get all the project monitoring and as well as Project cost and revenue with Dashboards. I am implementing PS to take the accounting data from the tool, to get integration with FI,CO, SD, and MM. In their Project Management tool apart from the cost management, they have Change Management, defects management, test management, process templates, life cycle templates, project goals with specific and project performance monitoring like dashboards. Actually, I am taking the interface part like WBS, Planned cost, Schedules, Resource cost etc.. I am unable to take the non accounting data to SAP PS.
    My doubt is, can we implement SAP Project Management module to replace the tool, since in PS we have FI and CO data with schedules, for example. If I required the same things, non accounting data like Defects management track, change management, testing management, which SAP module we have to implement. More over, my client is also wish to discard the tool, if the same functionalities available in SAP.
    Please correct me, if I am wrong and also suggest me how we can get the same things in SAP.
    Thanks & Regards

    you can use Claims available in SAP PS.
    Transcript from SAP help:
    Claims are used to:
    Identify the persons or groups responsible for variances Defend against claims from third parties who your business responsible for a variance
    Customizing is divided as follows:
    Notification Customizing
    In this section, you stipulate the most important aspects of a claim, such as:
    Claim Management screen format
    Claim partner
    Catalogs and report profile for the claim
    Priorities for the claim
    Claim-specific Customizing
    Codes for detailed long texts
    Activating workflows for the claim
    I hope this is helpful.

  • In sap project who get lot of oppurtunities,sap abapers or sap bw people?

    hi all
    in general sap project in sap project who get lot of oppurtunities,sap abapers or sap bw people?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    It depends on the based on the clients/customer business process & scenario's  ,& the type of SAP Projects to be implemented  .
    In Business intelligenc projects, we do require more BI Consultants compare to ABAP er's & other consultants.In ECC 6.0 & other R/3 implementaions, the demand for ABAP er's & other consultants wil be more .
    So finally the Vacancies are the part & parcel of the type SAP projects to be implemented.

  • How can I get the "Full cycle SAP project experience"?

    Hi,experts
    I'm a beginner of PI and familar with java,now i have got good acquaintence of PI architecture and familiar with ESR and ID in PI,but now i'm confused with the development aspect of PI expert...one thing is that full cycle sap project experience is a must,but how can i get that while i just always repeating the boring creation of PI objects and do the mapping,routing tasks etc...

    Hi Rajesh,
    If you started working with new implementation project then you will get a chnace to involve in all phases like Blue printing,analysys,realization,development testing.
    Creation of obejcts in ESR or ID its not a big deal,but when you are working with complex landscape then you feel to elanr and many newthing in PI how to achieve the requirement using Writing some good UDF and using node function ...Adapter Modules or JAVA Mapping or XSLT Mappings..and many.
    When you get in to SAP PI project,when you started development first you will start analysing the functional document and then you will start preparing techincal specification,then mapping specification then development,testing..these all tasks happend in pahse by phase.after completion of development then you wl tesing the interfaces ,preparing test cases...
    we can say full lide cycle implemenattion prijects invloves above all tasks.

  • OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project with SAP Project Sytems

    I have installed OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project 2007 SP2 with SAP Project System ECC 6.0. However the upload button is deactivated so i cannot transfer from MS Project to the SAP System.
    I have already created the role (SAP_PS_EPS) in PFCG and carried out the user maintenance in SU01 along with authorization for object S_RFC and S_USER_GRP but still the button remains deactivated.
    Kindly let me know if I need do something else in SAP.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Try MS Project 2007 SP1 instead of SP2.
    This should solve the problem.

  • What is AIO methodology in SAP Data Services

    Dear all,
    Anybody tell me about the AIO (All In One) methodology in SAP DS.
    Thank you
    by
    vinodh

    Hi vinodh seemakurthi
    The AIO method we use for data migration is something like ready made Jobs for MM, customer and vendor etc. AIO needs to be installed and configured on your machine before you use which basically installs all these jobs and setup databases in your repository where Jobs can be further tweaked  to meet your migration requirement. In general this saves lot of time in designing the entire Job for extraction, transformation and loading. These Jobs use IDOCs to load the data into SAP. However, there are limited objects supported by AIO.

  • Why SAP Projects Fails??

    Hello abapers, right now i'm writing a paper for the company that i work, this paper it's related with SAP Projects, i would be so glad if you let me hear your comments about What are the reason that you think that makes SAP Projects Fails? It an IT related stuff.
    I want collect all your comments based on your experience implanting SAP Projects. This is important to me because a will see closer the common problem around the world and will not localized my paper use only issues that i may know.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

    Hi Carlos,
    You have touched upon a major topic here and I am not sure if you can ever close this post. But let me give it a try. Let me try to put it into perpective by discussing the topic following the project lifecycle.
    Now any ERP implementation starts with a requirement at the top level to refine their IT landscape to better support the business. Then you go out to search for the best tool to do that. That can be your first point of failure, if you don't identify the right fit(ERP software) for your organization. I was on a SAP project where they thought SAP is the best fit for their business, but 6 months into the project, they realized that even though SAP is the best ERP software around, it didn't fit their needs. They scrapped the project and went for custom development in Oracle.
    Then comes your choice of the implementation partner. A big implementation like an ERP implementation cannot be completely sourced with inhouse resources. You meed a implementation partner who has the experience to steer you though the implementation and make it successful. Now this is not specific to SAP, but with SAP you have to be even more careful on this aspect because of the costs and time involved.
    Once you have identified SAP as the tool and identified your implementation partner, you then venture into the identification of implementation team from your organization. Depending on which modules you are implementing, you want to identify teams that have a very healthy mix of business knowledge, experience in specific areas of the company's business functions, technical expertise that can easily adopt and learn new software quickly. If your team is not chosen wisely then there will be a makor gap between the requirements and their translation into implementation.
    Defining the scope of the project is also important. By doing this, you will identify which processes you will implement in SAP and as a result which applications you will replace with SAP and which applications you will interface with SAP. If you fail to correctly identify this, then the project will fail.
    An ERP implementation means a lot of change and that means all your end users, your implementation team, your management and basically everyone should be ready for it. This involves a major investment(not necessarily monetary) in change management. There will be a change in the way you do things and everyone should be ready for it. If they are not, then there will be a failure in effective use of the tool thus effecting its utility to the organization and the productivity of the employee.
    After you are past the requirements phase and team preparation phase, you enter the design phase. The project can make or break depending on what happens in this phase. This is where the implementation team goes out to define the business processes, identify requirements and translate them into configuration and development specs etc. If any of the tasks here go wrong, then the final product will be a failure.
    In the development phase, it can be any or all of the factors like lack of technical expertise, lack of usage of best practices, lack of standards, lack of supporting infrastructure etc.
    Other factors include, support from top management and business process owners for the project(they should be the stakeholders in this), political aspects of the client place, integration requirements etc.
    As Anand pointed you first need define 'failure'. In a project as big as an ERP/SAP implementation, a complete scrapping of the project can be a failure, or not completing the project on budget, on time could be a failure or not being able to deliver one specific critical functionality can be a failure. So as you can see, the definition of the failure itself can be so different for so many implementations.
    Even though your question is specific to SAP, my answer is more generic and applicable to any large scale project. SAP inherently has no in-built faults that make a project a failure. As long as you keep all the above factors in control, you should have a successful project.
    Hope this discussion continues.
