Hello Sarjit,
The Major Phases are :-
Project Initiation -Mock Demos explaining the real Time situation of SAP
Project Blueprinting Phase-Clientrequirent gathering,Fit gap analysis, Requirment mapping, BPR documentaion,
Realization -FD preparation, discussion with tech team reagrding requirements.,test case Preparation, integration issues
Testing(system Integration testing/user acceptance testing)-test execution, Integration issues , bug fixing
Go Iive
The As- Is analysis is actually done based on what the client wants at thier place and what SAP can offer.
It is mainly done to map requiremnts and find out whioch requiremnst can be done OOTB(SAP standard), configuration , customization and enhancements. It is also donw to know the effort time estimation for the enhancements objects.
The functional conusltant can do the following depending on the entry to the project and his/her exp:-
Business process requirement document
Functional specification.
Requiremnt mapping,
Requiremnt gathering
Effort estimation,.
Prtotyping for requirements.
Testing (major roles)
The major document to be used are Business process requirement documentation/ High level design dosumentation(HLD)
for the initial two phases.
For middle scale projects , the time would be min 1.5 yrs starting from project iniation to go live .It can be fast tracked if the client desires so.But these are actually dependant based on teh number of requirements that will be taken for that phase and thier criticality.
Hope this helps.

    Chan,
    Below are some of main responsibilities of FC-
    A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence into an abstract and algorithmic business model. Hence, he identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical and technical views. 
    Then the main task starts: customizing the respective business area and making sure the system reacts in the manner according to the constraints of the requested use case. 
    The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper guidelines that allow other consultants to do further changes or repairs with due efforts. 
    The consultant takes care that proper training is given to the users and that the system is usable, performing appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct. 
    During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the behaviour of the system. 
    After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes enhancements. 
    The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for defects and general a common sense.
    REWARD POINTS IF U FINDS THIS USEFUL...

  • Role of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS in a implementation project

    Dear Guru's,
    Please help me understand what is the role of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS in a implementation project. would be great if any documentation is available. i have building blocks and other stuff which i got from this network, but iam confused looking at them, most of them talk about technical stuff. please give me a functional insight of a Functional Consultant in ESS/MSS.
    Thanks,
    vinay

    hi
    the link above mentions the in general role of a functional consultant. But for Ess/Mss , First understand that the technical aspects are there as it would be for any other HCM module . Functional aspect comes into picture to show the functionality to the end user and also to modify the same as per business needs. Sap has given certain functionality which is common in case of few countries and common to the HR world in general. As a functional consultant your role would be to demonstrate and configure the needed functionality to the business.
    A very simple example would be , talking about the who's who functionality. The output you see can be altered according to business needs by means of authoirization or customizing the columns which appear on the ouptut (e.g Change the columns as per business needs)
    Hope this simple words make your doubt clear.

    Hi
    PMS in sap HCM is for performance Management System.
    The role of the consultant here will be to create the appraisal Templates.
    PMS based on OSA( objective settings and Appraisal) has few standard switches that have to be activated.
    based on the requirement of the client we can create different appraisal templates.
    the T code is PHAP_catalog using this T code one can have the templates created for learning solutions as well
    T code PHAP_CATALOG_PA is used exclusively for personnel appraisals.
    in this we have to create the new category and template as per the clients requirement.
    once the template is created we have to release the same to activate the template.
    once released we will not be allowed to make any changes to the template once activated
    to view the status of the released template we can use the T code PHAP_admin.
    (honestly this is just a brief of what can happen in PMS. there is lots more)
    All the best to you

  • Role for Functional Consultant in upgradation

    Hi
    I want to know, what will be the role of SAP CRM Functional consultant in up gradation of CRM 4.0/5.0 to 6.0/7.0?
    I want detailed answers for this one and also if possible than also give some document or provide link for Up gradation document
    I am eagerly waiting for reply. .
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    First and foremost, take all screenshot of processes in the old version. (Functional)
    Well to start with, the main backbone of the upgrade project are the Basis Team, so you will be needing a strong Basis Resource.
    Once you define the system, a technical testing is done by them and given the system to Functional Consultant.
    Compare the old screenshot with new version screenshot and ensure whether the data is correctly available, this can be random, just the basic and important processes to cover. (Functional)
    Meanwhile, the functional consultant is required to develop the test scripts, which will include all the business scenarios which are been used in the old version.
    For eg: Test Scripts on  Sales process -->from creating the Prospects to Lead then Oppurtunity Document and then closing the case by creation of Sales Orde Management in ECC.
    After testing, it is important in any project to get the sign off from the business team, these are called unit testsing & integration testing sign-off process.
    So based on your modules interfaced with CRM system, you will require one consultant from each module, for instance, SD Consultant for SD Module.
    One more resource will be needed for Web UI Components to test the BSP pages and all, for this a CRM Technical Consultant is needed to be on a safer side, or even a functional consultant can test depending on his/her expertise on Web UI functionality.
    Hope this helps,
