Question from functional consultant

Hi
I was working on a report under report writer transaction code GR32. I was suppose to make a small change but actually I made lot of changes to fix one issue or other.Now the report is not usable.Is it possible for a basis guys to restore the original report (under GR32) and discard all my changes in last 3 days.
Thanks in advance
Satya

Hi Satya,
Try to find out..
1. Is this report 's old version is avilable in Quality or Production server?
2. Is this report saved to a request originally ?
3. Can you find out the TP no?
The final way to recover is restore your 3 day's old backup to a test server and recover the report.
All the best,
Hari.

plez send me as soon as possible...................

Hi Sravan,
Types of Consultants:
The most common question being asked in interviews is ' What are your roles and responsibilities?'.
Before answering the above question, let me explain the difference between Functional consultant and
Technical consultant.
Roles and responsibilities differ from functional consultant to Technical consultant.
Functional Consultant:
Functional consultants are responsible for designing the SAP implementation solution based on the
requirements of your company.
Functional consultants are business process experts.
Functional consultants normally use their process knowledge to calculate the impact of the SAP
implementation on the company's processes.
Functional consultants are thus concerned with SAP functions and processes that will generate the data
and output for business.
Functional consultants interact with end users of the company to gather requirements and based on the
requirements they customize the SAP implementation.
Technical Consultant:
Technical consultants are experts in information technology.
Technical consultants normally assist in configuration of the SAP R3 installation. In many SAP
implementations, technical consultants help in designing interfaces and customizations in R3. Finally, the
SAP R3 technical consultants would be responsible for migration of data from the legacy system to the new
SAP ERP implementation.
Here i will discuss major roles and responsibilities of a technical consultant:
1) Designing technical specification by looking at the functinal specification you have recieved.
Usually senior developers having 3 years or more than 3 years of experience involves in preparing technical
specifications.
2) Developing objects using ABAP workbench tools. That may be a report program or an on-line program or a
custom table.
Remember the development work starts after the technical specification is approved by your team leader.
3) Preparing the Unit test case document.
In unit test case document, we document the results and test cases performed on the developed object.
4) Peer Review
if you are a senior developer you can perform peer review. I.e review the code written by your peers.
5) Working on Problem Tickets
If you are working in a support project, you should solve the tickets assigned to you. Tickets are nothing but
the problems occured in production environment.
The above mentioned are the major roles and responsibilities for a technical consultant

Functional Consultant Interview Questions

Hi,
Can anyone please send me some interview questions nad materials related.
Does anyone have questions that will cover a Functional Consultant Role.
Thanks a lot,
Murali
<removed>

Hi,
I can tell you about my experience in different process.
I usually have a first interview with the recruiter/agency this first interview is quite general, he usually review your CV, job history,... the recruiter ask you about your interest or motivation for that process, if you are willing to travel, reallocate, etc.. your salary expectations and your knowledge in the different modules. This is the easier interview and if everything is ok, the recruiter will tell you for next steps, probably about the project, the employer, etc...
In the second interview normally is with the consultancy company, with the manager and an experience consultant that usually asks about technical questions, they ask for example, how to setup a dual accounting process with SLA in GL, which reports you would use to reconcille AP/AR and GL, how many segments do you need to setup in GL for a specific business situation, how to load assest in FA, which are de accounting steps from buy goods until you account the AP invoices,...
In some cases you have also a final interview with customer just to get the final approval, but the really important one is the second interview.
Good Luck ;-)

Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

Hi,
Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
Thanks,
Sunny

"After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.

Anto

Dear Anto,
In Technical SAP,Upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0- the role of any fucntional consultant would involved integrated with the technical Consultant.
The phase starts with the technical Patches apply to the latest stack level which will done by the BASIS Consultants.
Once the System preparation is happened, the next phase is with SPDD phase, Thru this transaction the dictionary Objects-Database elements, database tables and structures of teh latest system can be
compared with the old system.
This results in the version modification results between the old and New versions. During this phase the involvement of the Functional Consultant needed for the tech guy, to identify the functional chnages between the two version (Old and New). Which helps for him either to Reset to Original(ie., adopting the new one) or Adopt Modification in previous system(ie., adopting to older functionality)
Once this is done, the System Upgradation will be done by the BASI, the system will be replaced with new system. At teh end of this phase SPAU phase starts, which inturn reults with version difference in the field namely, Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes an Function Modules. Here too the involvement of functional consultant neede to determine either reset to original or to go with Adopt modification from the older design, as explained earlier.
At teh end of the, moreover the functional consultant role involved in testing the Entire processes and transactoin in the system for system dump and bugs, in necessity to correct teh same and results with nil errors in production client.
Also the Zprograms invloved in the older versions, needs to be examined for the actual need, and to be justified with adoption in the newer version or by adopting to the updated functionality in the newer version.
Hope this may give better clarity in the involvement of the Functional Consultant in the Updgrade project.

How to shift from ERP tester to SAP Functional Consultant?

Hi friends,
I'm currently working as a Software tester and have worked with ERP applications(Not SAP) for more that 2.5 years now. I do have a decent domain knowledge of ERP at present.
I want to learn SAP and make a career as a functional consultant.
My question is: If i do a course in one of the functional modules of SAP will i be able to get a job in SAP with my prior experience of ERP?
Thanks and Regards,
Arjun

Dear Mr.Arjun Nair,
Welcome to the world of SAP. Congrats for choosing sap as your career platform.
I appreciate your interest on SAP ERP.
Based on your interest you can choose any module ( technical / functional ).Each module has its own importance in real time.
If you want learn more about any / preffered module, you can always access help.sap.com which will give you a list of results and among them you can choose whichever link you want to start studying on that subject.
Based on your research choose a right module which suits you better.
It might depends on your Interest also, Like if you are interested more on Programming side then think about Technical module ABAP.
Or if your interest is more on Functional side ( Requires business process knowledge on various / any industries & configuration skills in ERP ).
Based on your experience I believe that the below functional modules will be more suitable for people who has some Business / Domain / experience . Just think & try to follow the SAP Help to take a right decision.
MM – MATERIAL MANAGEMENT ( More about Purchasing related activities / Goods receipts / Inventory Management / vendor management )
SD – SALES & DISTIBUTION ( All sales related activities)
PP – Production Planning
Wish you all the best.

From an ABAP developer to a functional consultant

Hi,
I need some advices to help me improve my work as a junior functional consultant. I have been an ABAP developer for 2 - 3 years and then I moved to the role of functional consultant.
I have read that there is a higher probability to become successful as a functional consultant if you have a business background rather than a technical background...I have been moved to a junior functional consultant role for more than a year - I've been reading books on configuration and functional process flows and unfortunately the assignments on the project I'm working on are mostly specific developments rather than configuration of standard flows which gives me litlle exposure...
What can I do to improve my functional skills and is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
Thanking in advance anyone who would reply.

What can I do to improve my functional skills
Gain experience and be open-minded. It's pretty much the only way to improve your problem solving and thus your "functional" skills.
Is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
I don't think it can be expressed that vastly. I would personally always choose someone with a technical background over the one who talks about "Business" and essentially doesn't really know what he's talking about...
By the way, have you tried the Career forums?:

SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

Hi Guys,
I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Thanks guys.

> I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
- defining the core processes
- test and customize them
- release the customizing transports for production
> I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.

I am looking to build my career as a Functional Consultant in Oracle SCM-OM

Hello ,
As in Subject i just briefed about my expectation.I just want to give little more info about my tenure so far.I am a BSc(in Bio science) holder with close to 6 years of Operational experience.I have worked in SAP platform for OM and later i have worked in Software Licensing in Oracle R12.I am a SQL certified from OU. I have read couple of post from OTN and some other sites aswel just to know how could i start learn about Consultant role.I tried to find out if i can get in touch with any person who is a Functional consultant and learn from him/her with real time implementation.I have checked in some of Oracle authorized training centers where the cost is too high but not sure whether learning from there will be useful.Please let me know whether my expectation could be fulfill and suggest me the best way to learn also.
Thanks in advance for your time & reply.
Souvik Ghosh

The first query points to many threads where a similar question has been asked. You can change the query search words to get more hits.
If you are looking specifically for OM, it will also help if you network with some non-IT guys to understand how, in general, Order Management is used in various industries. You can talk to Order Entry clerks to understand order taking process (such as customer calls, they create a quote, customer approves, quote is turned into order), you can talk to Warehouse personnel to understand order shipping process (Such as order ship date nears, they run a report to find which orders need to ship in the next x days, they generate pick tickets to get material, they generate packing slips, generate invoices, shipping notices etc.)
Talk to some AR folks to understand credit processes and invoice /collection processes.
These folks don't have to use Oracle. What you are looking for a generic understanding of how the business /processes work.

Solution Manager for a Functional Consultant

Hai Friends
I am currently working as an SAP-MM consultant. I want to learn SOLMAN.
My queries are
Where can I get Study material for SOLMAN ?(apart from help.sap.com)
How SOLMAN helps for a Functional Consultant in implementatin ?
details regarding certification in SOLMAN ?
Thanks
Sukumaran.E

Hello Sukumaran,
There are certainly loads of resource which can help you to get fit for the topic.
I will point out some of them for you:
Certification Program
<a href="http://service.sap.com/certification">http://service.sap.com/certification</a>
SAP Consultant Certification -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP Solution Manager 4.0 - Solution Manager Implementation Tools.
This requires you to take the SMI310 as preparatory course which is the SAP Solution Manager course that goes through the intire range of implementation and configuration support provided by SAP Solution Manager.
RKT material
The ramp-up knowledge transfer material (RKT) consists of role-specific information on a variety of SAP Solution Manager topics.
<a href="http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman">http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman</a>
Concentrate on SAP Solution Manager 4.0 release and the product offerings for the Solution consultant role. Check the must know section and for a functional insight into the project functionality I'd recommend the tutor SAP Solution Manager in an implementation project and for a methodological insight the tutors on roadmap usage.
Additional information
Can be obtained via <a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>, check out the media libary and for some general questions the FAQ section.
This should help you to get started. Good look for your upcoming taks!
