PP functional knowledge for BW Consultant

Hi experts
Could you please tell me the functional knowledge of PP required for BW Consultant and very thankful to you if you mention the business flow of PP and its integration with other modules.I have gone through forums but i didnt get these things.
Thanks in advance

The basic idea is, no one can master everything especially in SAP.
And the practical tips are listed as below
1) Go through PP overview, gain the basic concept such as Material Master / Work Center / Routine ... And you'd better to know SOP / FCST / Order / LTP / MPS / MRP / Production Order ....
2) Go to BI BP, try
B80: Production Plan-Actual Analysis
B81: Period-Specific Analysis
B58: Capacity Load Utilization
B65: Status of Manufacturing Orders
BI1: Goods Issue Error Handling
3) Compare your previous BW project experience on other modules.

Solution Manager:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/a0/c3266e44c54d5e8300b5ffe54f756b/frameset.htm
ALE and IDOC:
ALE stands for Application Link Enabling and is used for distribution of data. IDOC is an Intermediate Document. It carries the application data from one server to another server.It uses the RFC(Remote Function call) .
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
It is the the combination of Segements.
Segment : All the required fields will get assigned in relavant segement.Like that we will have lot of segments.We will assign all the segments to IDOC type.In the required level(Parent & child level .Like tree nodes).
Idocs Type is a Structure by lot of segments.
IDOC is generared at the time of run time .
It will have the data.
There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs : Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs : Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.

Functional knowledge mandatory for an abaper

Dear Experts,
I have one doubt .I would like to know how much functional knowledge is required for an abaper. I am a beginner.
How to become a good abaper.

The more business and functional knowledge a developer has, the better he'll be able to apply his development skills. Though I'd rather have a developer with little business knowledge who's really good a programming, than a business monster who doesn't know what encapsulation is. Sadly, especially since the idea that technical skills are a commodity, what you end up with is "developers" who have no understanding of program design and no business understanding either. And dreadfully written programs, which are intially produced very cheaply but are enormously expensive to maintain or enhance. But that's ok, because maintainance and enhancement is an operational cost, not a project cost.
The split between functional/technical is in my mind rather artificial. I've been working in IT for a long time. When I started we had analyst programmers. We used to go talk to the business, find out their needs, then go a write the software. My suspicion is that the large consultancies didn't like the technical side of IT, as there you have to produce concrete results. So they came up with the idea of the functional/technical split. This also helped in other ways, because they could then take on "IT" people with no technical knowledge at all, which are certainly a lot easier to find.
...here endeth the rant...

Functional knowledge in XI

Hi,
I am basically an XI developer, but during interviews they ask for some basic functional knowledge in SD,HR,MM etc.Can you guys send me the basic functional doc for HR,SD,MM to my mail id : [email protected] ASAP
*********Points will be awarded*********
Thanks
Sud

Hey
>>but during interviews they ask for some basic functional knowledge in SD,HR,MM etc
thats strange,until and unless the job description says that you need to have functional knowledge of the R/3 modules or you resume itself says that u have worked as a functional consultant they should not ask u functional stuffs of R/3 modules.
i guess if u acclimatize yourself with the IDOC's used in the R/3 modules as well as the FM that should be it.also u need know the configuration done on R/3 side (and XI side) for IDOC,RFC and proxy,u should know how to write the ABAP code to call a FM etc.
just my view ,may be others have different opinion on this:)
thanx
Aamir

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

Our customer has existing Time Recording terminals(TRT). These TRT's do not have an interface with SAP. The data is downloaded in "text" format from the TRT. We are planning to develop a BDC for the data transfer. I am required to give the Functional Specs for this purpose. If possible please give me a copy of the functional specs prepared for data transfer from TRT to SAP.

How to findout the Function module for a particular object

Hello friends,
   Related to my thread, there was one thread in the forum,to find out the function module for a particular object.I tried the solution provided my our experts but couldn't got the results.Thats why i am putting this thread again.
I want to find out the function modules used for the particular object, i.e. Production order.
   solution i tried is, first go to T.C SE37, then in function module field put the object name like Production order and enter, than it will show another screen, there also put object name in function module field and than press enter, it will show all the function modules available for that object.
    So could you guys help me out to find out where i am wrong in the process of finding out the function module for a particular object.
                       Plz don't bother abt the point.Helpful answers will definitely get awarded.
                            Thanking you guys for your valuable support till now and hoping to get in future too.

Dear
When the problem is solved please give points too. Otherwise why people will help others, give time and share their valuable knowledge. This will build up self confidence.
If not solved and closing, then mention the difficulties what u exactly looking for. Simpy closing is not enough because who ever is providing solution will not able to know the real problem.
How to give points I believe u already know that and need not explain.
I had seen many times this problem with others too. Even if the problem is totally resolved they give 2 in stead of 10.

Re: functional spec for ABAP query

Hi gurus
I need one model functional specification for ABAP Queries

Hi,
Functional Specification is written by the functional consultants to give to the ABAPers where there will write technical specifications to meet the requirement.
Regarding your issue, u have to first know
whats the requirement is
when to start with either T.Code and
at what field
who are authorized to do that
How we do that
How this integrated with other modules
what implications it is going to reflect in other modules
the approval from the repective supervisors
and finally viewing the output
and rectifying the same after going through the technical requirements.

Go to wwww.google.com ( search flow of SD in SAP ) flow of HR in SAP ) flow of abc module in SAP .
Dont mind , but it always good to search your self again first . I mean finding in google.com , and SDN .. Most of the time youll definitely get answer .
Peoples asked about functional knowledge , because if you know the flows you can understand the business process and write good program and also give input . You can also see different angles of 1 view. I must say its not obligatory for ABAP`er but it always a Plus point
Thanks and Good luck !!
