Modules with SAP FI

I have done my certification in SAP FI, a few months ago. But everywhere I go for an interview, I saw that they require FICO consultant. I know, CO was part of this complete module. But now, its separate. So, I wanted to ask whether I have to do CO too in near future? What about any other Module then after, to enhance my knowledge and value as a functional consultant? Only tell the best combinations with SAP FI module, please. I have heard about some BPC module. Wanna hear your opinion..

Hi Rahul,
Previously there was a consolidated course for FI and CO and that is the reason why generally the term FI-CO consultant is used.
Bust as you said these days both the modules are separated namely FI & CO but;
The general knowledge which required to activate Co module and creating Cost center and Profit Center, Creating internal order creating hierarchy etc. are covered in our TFIN 50 & TFIN 52 course.
In my opinion at this point of time what you need is an opportunity and that is not assured even if you qualify in CO module.
If you surf through Career center, it is flooded with Job / Opportunity related questions.
It is like "What comes first, Chicken or Egg ?" there is no answer to this question.
Same way in the field of SAP there is no answer to the question "what comes first Experience / qualification or Job ?"
Detailed configuration and integration of Co module is just a matter of one project if you are thorough with FI module.
There are many books available of CO module in market or online.
Please read this blog which might help you,
ERP Consultancy (SAP Certification) – Transformation from Introduction Phase to Mature Phase (Part – 2)  
I hope I could answer your question "whether I have to do CO too in near future?"
Wish you all the best to break this vicious circle.

  • Best practice identifying ERT modules with SAP / IS-Utilities

    Hi everybody,
    I'm looking for the best practice identifying ERT modules with SAP / IS-Utilities (electricity).
    Here's the physical device set up :
    The ERT modules are internal to the electricity meter. They're integrated into a multi purpose electronic circuit. So they can't be remove physically as a separate device.
    The ERT modules are used to transmit data from the meter to a radio frequency receiver (handheld or drive-by). The main data that is transmitted is the consumption reading. So the receiver stores the ERT module number and the reading value.
    They may be one or more ERT modules in a single meter, and each ERT module transmit his own specific consumption reading (energy reading, demand reading, etc...).
    Each ERT module has is own manufacturer number.
    My issue is :
    To find a way to identify in IS-U the ERT module within the meter's register group (or somewhere else???) in order to relate each register to his ERT module number.
    The purpose of all this is to create reading orders with the ERT module number following for each register.
    This way we can match, using a unique key, each reading order and his corresponding reading value uploaded from the radio frequency receiver (handheld or drive-by).
    Thanks for your help and ideas on best practice.

    Hi,
    1) The system (application) environment of BI (what is integrated in it - e. g. within the portal, there is a storage for unstructured information like documents or virtual rooms for collaboration between departments - and what does it make)
    Document management from RSA1 transaction of BI helps to attach any unstructured documents at specific level in BI.
    2) How does development in BI works (development environment, coding, debugging, building, deployment and test) and what is used stronger (ABAP or ABAP OO)? Here, I don't mean how to write ABAP or ABAP OO programs, only the infrastructure from development to transport to a target system
    BI has got  a separate tool and GUI to perform all the Extract, Transform and load related activities. ABAP is part of BI but you don't need much extensive ABAP learning. Basic ABAP is sufficient to write routines and extractors.
    3) How is a BI system to configure as default after installation?
    May be a BASIS person can help you out here about the configuration but this is not the job of BI person.
    4) Good guides (e/books) to learn ABAP and ABAP OO (as far as possible oriented on the practive)
    You can search for SAM Series learn ABAP in 24 days book. This book is sufficient to learn the ABAP required for working in BI.
    But except ABAP you will have to completly learn the BI system to work efficiently.

    Here is a summary of my skill sets:
    - Applications and Test tools development in JAVA and C (mostly Linux based)
    - Interface development for load testing of Web Services using SOAP-UI (Linux based)
    - Performance test development of web based and SAP applications using HP VuGen (Loadrunner)
    - Embedded system development using C, VxWorks

    Thanks.

    Hi Ravi:
    Thanks for your advice.
    As you said, "There are already number of consultants in the area of Basis and ABAP". Did you mean, the market is "crowded" ?
    If you really suggest me "BI" is a good choice as a "technical" person, which module of the BI I could start with ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Read IDOC WMMBID02 information and compare inventory data with SAP

    Hi All,
    Here is an explanation of the issue:
    I need to read the data from an inbound IDOC, status 64, of standard type WMMBID02 and message type WMMBXY. I do not want to post the IDOC, but only read the IDOC information which is mainly the material number, batch, status(INSMK), quantity and unit. This data I have to compare with SAP data and see if it is same for the selected material numbers. Now to read and process the inbound IDOC we have a program RBDAPP01 (BD20 Transaction) which calls the process code WMMB (WE42 transaction) which in turn calls the function module L_IDOC_INPUT_WMMBXY. This FM posts the IDOC. I have created a function module with the same import, export and tables parameters like this FM and have attached it to a custom process code ZWMMB. This function module should just read the data of the IDOC and put it in the table TB_IDOC_DATA like EDIDD (IDOC data records). I then loop into this table, extract SDATA and split it into the 3 segments of WMMBID02 and then extract my required data, MATNR, CHARG, INSMK, MENGE & MEINS.
    My Question:
    How do I trigger the process code ZWMMB so that I can read the IDOC data when it is fired (status 64), just like program RBDAPP01. Is there any standard code that can be copied and modified or how to do it???
    I have tried to be very clear with the question, please reply if the question is not clear. If I am clear, please help
    Thanks Anirban

    I am able to read the contents of the IDOC, but I need to run the FM when I fire the IDOC of message type ZWMMBXY. I have created a custome FM which will behave as a stndard FM for inbound IDOC processing.

  • Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

    We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
    We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
    Can someone please clarify?
    Regards
    paddy

    MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
    Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system.  SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

  • Issue in Communication of SAP R/3 6.4C with SAP J2EE Engine 6.40.

    Hello,
    We have an application deployed in SAP J2EE engine 6.20. From SAP R3 (SAP R/3 version is 6.4C), We are communicating to the application deployed in SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 using RFC protocol. EJB module (Deployed in SAP J2EE Engine 6.20) which is being invoked from a Function Module using RFC protocol has the same name as the Function Module name. We were able to communicate to SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 this way.
    Currently, I have deployed the same application in SAP J2EE Engine 6.40. I have followed the same procedure which i have used while depolying and working with SAP J2EE Engine 6.20. But, it is not working, and i was not able to communicate to SAP J2EE 6.40, the same way i did in SAP J2EE Engine 6.20.
    Please let me know whether the procedure for communicating to SAP J2EE Engine 6.40 has changed in comparison with SAP J2EE Engine 6.20.
    Also,Any pointers regarding RFC and JCO implementation in SAP J2EE Engine 6.40 willl be helpful.
    Thank you.

  • How can we integrate SAP R/3 4.6C with SAP EP?

    Hi All,
    we are implementing PM (Plant Management) module of SAP R/3 4.6C and we have the necessity to create web services for some PM functionalities. Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI. Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly. So we think to use SAP EP. How can we integrate the SAP R/3 4.6C functionalities into the SAP EP?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi Bob,
    Upgrading to ECC 66.0 wouldn't effect your Developments (since everything will be custom, and upgrades will not effect the custom applications) and Customizing (there will be enhancements based on which you do customizations and even that will not be effected with upgrade) unless you change the standard using Dev Key.
    [https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERP6|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERP6]
    Please go throught the link for all the details on upgrade.
    And you need to see whether there are applications available in WebDynpro for ABAP or Java for your req. and these you can find in latest BP for PM if there are any?
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers-

  • Is it possible to Replace faxserver with SAP PI.

    Hi,
    Current scenario which is running:
    ECC>Faxserver> Faxmachines
    upgrade to PI by replacing fax machine:
    ECC>PI>Faxmachine/Faxserver
    We have to send the message by dialling to the fax machine..
    Right now, the file/message is sent from ECC to faxserver which inturn dial to the receiver fax machine.
    Now we got a proposal of replacing this fax server with SAP PI. Is there any way we can replace this fax server with PI by using some custom adapter?
    Does anyone done this kind of scenario?
    Is there any custom adapter module we can write to handle in PI instead of using Faxserver?
    I think this is not possible to replace?  Any suggestions please?
    Thanks
    Deepthi

    Hi Abhishek,
    Thank you. I will check about the webservice with the vendors.
    Meanwhile we got few small vendors whom doesn't have any other option other than receiving orders through Fax machine. So I'm just wondering is there any way we can send messages directly to their fax machine from PI (may be using Mail adapter)..
    I was going through below link and looks like there is a way by using mail adapter...?
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/af/73563c1e734f0fe10000000a114084/content.htm
    Exchanging faxes and text messages (pager/SMS) using SMTP is also possible. For this, faxes and messages are packed as e-mails. For the send process, the mail server analyzes the domain of the recipient addresses and either forwards the e-mails to an internal fax-/text message server (for example SMS=491759628717 at sms-server.company.com) or to an external provider (for example FAX=16105954900 at fax-provider.com).
    What do you think?
    Thanks

  • MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

    21/11
    Gurus,
    I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
    I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
    Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
    1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
    2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
    Thanks again.
    Dear All,
    On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
    We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
    With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
    My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
    Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
    Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
    Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
    Thanks for your help and insights about this.
    Brice.

    Hi Chris,
        Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
        I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
        When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
       For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
       then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
       However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
       no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
       when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
       I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
       SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
       My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
       core source code is as:
       clear itab.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
        EXPORTING
          BUFFER = lv_datas
        IMPORTING
          OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
        TABLES
          binary_tab = itab.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
        EXPORTING
          input_length = lv_length
          mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
        IMPORTING
          text_buffer = lv_datas_string
          output_length = lv_data_len
        TABLES
          binary_tab = itab.
        Can you give me some advice?
    Best Regards,
    Derek

  • Can i call a function module of SAP?

    Hi, i have a question... Can i call a function module of SAP... I need print a document from a device, can i call the function module of SAP in order that me it prints it?
    Thanks,

    Hi Victor,
    you can use the GenericSync Example of the MDK. This calls the Module to verify the user directly. Generic Sync is exactly for that purpose: call a BADI directly and no usage of SyncBO. Be aware, that you - out of the box- sync your app data as well at that moment, because a sync runs both - generic and smartsync. Even worse: even when you have nothing to sync in Generic Sync - so nothing to print - it will call the function module for generic sync as long as it is registered.
    Well,  anyway, this is the way to call a function module separate.
    If it works with you rparticular print module? I have no idea, but if this is a normal function module - well, it should be ok.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Oliver
