[ASAP methodology|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/asap%2bfocus%]
ASAP methodology is one methodlogy used in implementing SAP .
The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the following five general Phases:
Project Preparation, in which the project team is identified and mobilized, the project Standards are defined, and the project work environment is set up;
Blueprint, in which the business processes are defined and the business blueprint document is designed;
Realization, in which the system is configured, knowledge transfer occurs, extensive unit testing is completed, and data mappings and data requirements for migration are defined;
Final Preparation, in which final integration testing, stress testing, and conversion testing are conducted, and all end users are trained; and
Go-Live and Support, in which the data is migrated from the legacy systems, the new system are activated, and post-implementation support is provided.
ASAP incorporates standard design templates and accelerators covering every functional area within the system, as well as supporting all implementation processes. Complementing the ASAP accelerators, the project manager can create a comprehensive project plan, covering the overall project, project staffing plan, and each sub-process such as system testing, communication and data migration. Milestones are set for every work path, and progress is carefully tracked by the project management team.
Hope it will help you.

Best Practices for ASAP Inputs - As-Is Business Process Mapping

I am new to the SAP world and my company is in the early phases of implementation. I am trying to prepare the "as-is" business process maps for the Project Preparation and Business Blueprint phases and I am looking for some best practices. I've been told that we don't want them to go too deep but are there best practices and/or examples that give more information on what we should be capturing and the format.
I have searched the forums, WIKI, ASAP documentation, and other areas but have not found much at this level of detail. I have reviewed the [SAP BPM Methodology|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPBPX/BPM+Methodology] but again I am looking for more detail if anyone can direct me to that.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
You can try to prepare a word document for each of your As-Is processes first before going to As-Is Process Design in a flowchart.
The word document can have 7 sections -
The first section can include Name of the Process Owner, Designation, Process Responsibility, User Department(s) involved, Module Name and a Document number for reference.
The second section can include Process Definition details - Name of the major process, Name of the minor process, Name of the sub process and a Process ID for future reference.
The third section can be titled as Inputs - this contains details of - Input, Vendor for the input, Type of Input (Data / Activity / Process), Category of Input (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The fourth section can be Process Details. Here you can write the process in detail.
The fifth section to contain outputs of the process, customer to whom these outputs are sent, type of output (report / approval / plan / request / email / fax), Category of Output (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The sixth section can be Issues / Pain Areas in this process - Issue Description, Remarks, Expectations, Priority (High / Medium / Low)
The seventh section can be expected reports in future out of this process for internal and external reporting.
Hope this helps your question.

Hi Shaukat!
Please take a look at http://help.sap.com -> SAP Best Practices -> Cross-Industry Packages.
You can also try and take a look at http://service.sap.com/swdc -> Download -> Installations & Upgrades -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP Best Practices
Caution! You only can use the BP if this is suitable to your ERP version! Check if your HCM BP is for ERP2004. If so it will not work on an ERP2005 System.

Changing a Cube - SAP Best Practice

I have a situation where a Consultant we have is speaking of a SAP Best Practice but cannot provide any documentation support the claim.
The situation is that a change has been made in BW Dev to a KF (changed the datatype). Of course the transport fails in the BW QA system. OSS note 125499 suggest activating the object manually.
To do I will need to open up the system for changes and deactivate the KF in question, then a core SAP BW table (RSDKYF) is to be modified to change the datatype. Then upon activation of the KF, the data in the cube will be converted.
If I delete the data in the cube, apply the transport, and then reload from PSA would this work also? I would rather not have to open up the systems and have core BW tables being modified. That just doesn't seem like a best practice to me.
Is this practice a SAP Best Practice?
Regards,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
opening the system for manual changes is not best practice. There are only few exceptional cases where this is necessary (usually documented in SAP notes).
"Easy" practice would be to add a new key figure instead of changing the data type. Obviously this causes some rework in depended objects but transport will work and no table conversions will be required.
"Save" practice is to drop and reload the data. You can do it from PSA if the data is still available. Or create a backup InfoCube and use data mart interface to transfer data between the original and backup.

SAP Best practice for Oracle installation on HPux

Hi - I am looking for SAP best practices document to install ERP6 on Oracle 10G platform HPUNIX 31. Is there any sap best practices guide?
Also, for Dev system, I am planning to install ABAP and JAVA stacks in one database. What do I need to do in database level?
Last, How am I going to configure the 2 engines to communicate?
Any reference to documents will be appreciated.
Regards
k

Hi,
Sorry but I'm going to be a bit bold here.
All needed information is on the guides.
1) If you are on Windows, you put the SAP-Oracle CD/DVD in, execute the command mentioned on the installation guide type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you install SAP
2) if you are on UNIX, you start SAP installation, then it stops and tell you to install Oracle. The guide tells you to run RUNINSTALLER (in capitals) you type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you continue the SAP installation.
Of course, those are the simplified versions
No response file is generated "ever". The response file comes INSIDE the installation CDs, for that reason is very important to execute the EXACT commands mentioned on the installation guides, in order to use such, already existing, response file.
I do not understand this need of super-hiper detailed step by step guides.
If you get one like that, then it will be obsolete after one month because there are new Oracle parameters, new oracle patches/patch sets or new .... that have to be done

SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005

Hi All,
I want to load SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005. I have downloaded the package from Marketplace but there is NO transport file included on it. It only contains documentation. My questions are
1. Does anyone know where I can download the transport file, if any?
2. Should I use the transport file from Baseline Best Practice instead?
Thank you,
Bomo

Hello!
The file should contain eCATTs with data according to best practice preconfigured scenarios and transactions to install them.
Some information about preconfigured scenario you could find here:
http://help.sap.com/bp_waterutilv1600/index.htm -> Business Information -> Preconfigured Scenarios
Under the "Installation" path you could find "Scenario Installation Guide" for Water Utilities.
I hope it would be helpful.
