Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation

Dear Friends,
Shall anyone of you kindly let me know of a link or send a document addressing the Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi,
ABAPer is required after installation and business study by functional consultant...
In case of upgrade project, ABAPer is required during upgrade (Basis activity) itself in SPAU and SPDD step.
Otherwise, ABAPer has following role in their area:
1. Business study in brief. (To resolve simple issue and to understand logic)
2. Coding for User exits / enhancements to co-operate with functional consultant.
3. Custom reports / Program developement (Normally print programs and some analytical reports)
4. Upload program implementation thru' BDC / BAPI / LSMW
etc.
5. Interface developement if required. (in case of legacy system integration projects)
These are the major tasks of ABAPer in implementation project.
Activities that form the SAP implementation process are:
1. Project Preparation
2. Sizing and blue printing
3. SAP Functinal development - here abap comes into picture
4. Final Preparation
5. Go live
Have a look at below link. It will give you more details abt the same.

Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

Can anybody tell me one of the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
in these modules:-
MM implementation
PP implementation
SD implementation
FI/CO implementation
PS implementation
QM implementation
HR implementation
BI implementation
XI implementation
Thanks and regards
RS

hi,
I will list out few of critical issues in
Implementation :
1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
2. Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
3. Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
10. Declare go live to SAP Support
11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
After Go live :
1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
5. Prepare a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
Hope it helps.

SAP Interview question "What is risk or most difficulty during SAP implemen

Hi all,
A interviewer ask me a question "what is risk or most difficulty during SAP implementation, please list at least 4 answers".
Do you have experience in SAP implementation, if you have, what do you think?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
Risk is in Mass maintainence...
Deletion / changes in the data's....
Covering of the abnormal requirement like gate pass etc...these are also called GAPS in sap...
Posting periods opening/closing from MMPV is very risky and if opened for the next month instead of the current month, then its bit difficult....
Hope it helps...

I am modifying the correct httpd.conf file on the server, it just doesn't seem to work. - If I put the rewrite rules in the <Directory /> the rewrite works but it adds /Library/WebServer/Documents to the URL.
I also tried putting the rewrite rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> but that did not work either.
mod_rewrite is enabled and running on the server.
I will post the rewrite rules again in the code brackets. Sorry for the long post. - If some one can try them out on their Leopard Server to see if they can get them to work, it would be much appreciated. Again, these work on my Leopard Client but I can't get them to work on Server.
-- The httpd.conf file posted above is just the default conf file found in /private/etc/apache2/

What are the roles & responsibilites of consultant in SAP upgradation or mi

Hello ,
Would you please any dody help me to provide the role & responsibilities of consultant in SAP upgradation or migration project.Thanks.
Regards,
Sampally

Hello,
If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

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.

SAP Roles and Access for SAP Implementation team members

Hi,
Is it correct practice to give SAP_ALL role access for all SAP Implementation team members in Dev and QA?
If not, what is the correct practice?
Kindly let me know

Madhu,
It is NOT correct practice to give anyone SAP_ALL in any of the systems; not DEV, not QAS, and certainly not PRD. However, many implementation teams (and particularly consultants from SIs) insist that they cannot possibly do their jobs without it. This is completely incorrect as there are specific roles for them to use for that purpose. The only circumstance where it could be justified is if you require a special "firefighter" role - and even then, I would still be a bit doubtful.
You should also consider that once you have given someone SAP_ALL, they will fight tooth and nail to keep it. It also means that they probably are not testing the user roles correctly. Most of those that insist they need it simply do not understand the security issues and probably don't care.
Just think; if they have access to do soemthing that they shouldn't and then cause a big problem, are they the ones that will have to fix it or are they going to expect you to do it? If they expect you to clear up after them, then you have the right to insist on restricting their access to cause issues in the first place.
But I know just how demanding they can be....
Best of luck
Tony

Role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project

Hi All,
What is the role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project and the stages in which he is involved?

Hello Mohammed,
The role of a Security consultant in any SAP product implementation (not just GRC) is wide enough and it's hard for anyone to sum up on a single forum post. Still I can give you some pointers.
Security consultants come from different backgrounds, some from networking, database administration, infrastructure and even development like me. They contribute enormously to any product implementation from scratch (landscape design) to go-live (and continuous maintenance) so they are active on every phase of the implementation.
Following are some of the activities they may perform (or participate)
-System Landscape Design (work closely with BASIS and DBAs)
-Check Infrastructure feasibility from security perspective (For Portals exposed to internet or extranet work closely with network providers for firewall security, VPS etc.)
-Propose security guidelines, access policies, disaster recovery plan, business continuity roadmap (work closely with information security consultants and internal auditors or risk management teams)
- Implement SAP solution specific Security measures (involves almost every SAP solution) for example: SAP R/3 security, GRC, BW/BI, HR, FI, Portal security etc.
- participate in application integration for example: LDAP, IDM, SAP UME, shared directories etc (User master records security is on high priority).
- Check for any possible backdoor access vulnerabilities (ex: open RFCs, function modules like ping_rfc), and it involves almost all SAP solutions and there are special procedures to analyze such vulnerabilities.
there are many such activities that a security consultant perform on day to day basis. Please do not interprete the above mentioned activities (entirely) as a criteria for any security consultant profile. There are many many possibilities for a security consultants to work from pen testing to SoD violation remediation. That's why I said it's not easy to sum up security.
Always remember, Security and GRC are two sides of a coin they work together. however GRC is more of a combination of policy, regulation, events and involves management participation whereas security is a purely technical practice.
You may also be interested to know what it takes to become a forensic security specialist. Take a quick look at [http://amudee.com/?p=378|http://amudee.com/?p=378]
