Answer 1

The following R the diff phases of ABAP programming.
Phase 1 : Project Preperation.
Phase 2 : Business Blueprint.
Phase 3 : Realization.
Phase 4 : Final Preperation.
Phase 5 : Go live and Support.
Realization is the most important phase where a ABAPer enters,All the beginers(ABAP) enter into SAP world in this phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preperation : In this phase of the ASAP Roadmap,desicion makers define clear project objectives and an efficient decision-making process. A project charter is issued,an implemetation stratergy is outlined and the project team as well as its working environment r established.
The first step is for the project managers(not for ABAPers) to set up the implementation project(s).They draw up a road draft of the project,appoint the project team and hold a kickoff meeting.The kickoff meeting is critical, since at this time the project team and process owners become aware of the project charter and objectives and are allocated their responsibilities,lasting thriughout the project.
Phase 2 : Business Blueprint
In this phase,The scope of R/3 is defined(to solve the task) the documentation of R/3 implementation is done.The final document prepared is called "Business Blueprint".This is done by project team under the project manager.Here the exact step by step procedure in which the task has 2 be carried out is defined.
The Business Blue print serves as the conceptual master plan & is assembled into a detailed written document.This document summarizes and documents business requirements in detail and serves as the basis for organisation,configuration and if necessary,development activities.
The business Process Master List (BPML) is the primary activity-tracking & control mechanism used by project management team during the realization phase. The BPML is first created at the end of the Business Blue print phase from the Q&Adb in order to create the Baseline Scope Document and ten used during the next phase for monitoring and controlling the R/3 configuration and testing activities.
Phase 3:
Realization:This is the moost important phase,because,this is where maximm number of Techincal people will be at work.Especially people having experience less than 4-5 yrs.
The purpose of Phase 3 is to configure the R/3 System,in ordr 2 have an integrated and documented solution that fulfills Ur client's business process requiremnts.
In this phase,configuration of the system is carried out in 2 steps:
(1)Baseline and
(2)Final Configuration.
(1)Base line
The Base line Configuration is designed 2 configure abt 80% of ur clint's daily business transactions & all of the master data,& organize structur.The remaining configuration is done in process-oriented cycles.The Businessss Blue print is used as D guide 4r D system config,done using D mplementation guide.which will be describd in detail in tihs forum.
After this process,data transfer pograms as wella s interfcaceds ,ned 2 be tested.
Phase 4:
Final Preperation
The purpose of this phase,as name suggests, is 2 complete the final preperation of the R/3 systm 4r going live.This includes testing, user training, system managment & cutover activities,2 finalize ur radiness 2 go live.This final preperation phse also serves 2 resolve all crucial open issues. On successful completion of this phase, U r ready 2 run the business in ur productive R/3 system.
In this phase,the end users go thru comprehensive training.
Phase 5:
Go Live and support
Now U r ready to go live with ur productive system ! Afterwards, the project team focuses on supporting the end users,4r which training may not be completed.It is also necessay 2 establish preocedures & measurements 2 review D benefits of ur investments in R/3 on an ongoing basis . Key SAP Services 2 support U in this phase include
The onlin Sevrvices System (OSS)
REMOTE Consulting
EarlyWatch Services.
In this phase the implementation project is concerned with supporting & optimizing the operative R/3 system,both the technical infrastructure & load distribution as well as the business process.
