SAP BEST PRACTISE BI-Purchasing Volume Dashboard issue

Hello,
I am working on Purchasing Volume Dashboard (from SAP BEST PRACTISE BI package), I adapted Crystal Reports sources of this dashboard so that they connect to our local database and successfully generated the Export.xls, I Imported this Export.xls file into Purchasing Volume Dashboard.xls, added and configured Live Office Connections (ticking"Refresh before components are loaded" for each Live Connections.
The issue is that when I click on PREVIEW the four components (Charts and Scorecard) don't refresh simultaneously.
I have to click once on REFRESH button to have the first component refreshed with data then to click again to have the second component refreshed then click again and again !
I don't understand why those components don't refresh in the same time !!
Did one of you ever encountered this issue ?
many thanks for your help,
Regards
Christiane

Hi,
Make sure your web service URL correct in Live Office connection and also in Xcelsius data manager.
Did you check all connection in refresh button proprties? you may try selecting "Refresh after component are Loaded" in Refresh button properties Behavior tab.
I think Xcelsius refresh are serial refresh so it may be possible that first component refresh is still in progress but you are expecting other component to refresh.
Click on "Enable Load Cursor" in data manager's Usage tab, it will give you visibility of refresh. If anything refreshing you will see hour glass.
Cheers

Experiences on SAP Best Practise packages?

We are considering applying a specific SAP Best Practise package on top of ECC6. It will be a new ECC6 installation.
I have read the BP faq pages http://help.sap.com/bp_bw370/html/faq.htm and read note 1225909 - How to apply SAP Best Practices - and the specific note and the specific installation guide for required Best Practise package.
I understand that applying a BP package is something not that easy but should speed up the implementation process.
If you have been participating in a project that implemented SAP Best Practises on ERP, would you please share your experiences with me.
Here are some topics for discussion:
(BP=SAP Best Practise package)
BP implementation could make constraints to your future EHP or SP upgrades, while BP is tightly linked to certain EHP and SP-level?
SAP support?
Installation process including config steps according BP installation guide is longer than usual, while there can be multiple activation and configuration steps done by others than basis consultants?
BPs are country dependent. What if your application is used multinationally?
What if you later find BP unneccessary?
generate difficulties in the beginning but did considerably speed up reaching the final goal compared to ECC6 without BP.
traps to fall in?
typical issues that basis staff has to notify when preparing/installing a ERP system to be with BP?
positive/negative things
I am not saying above statements are true or false. Just wanted to charge you giving comments.

SAP Best Practises - Installation

Hello All,
I had installed SAP best Practises base line package SAP BP-ERP 617V6 in my system a couple of weeks back. But now when I am trying to activate the Best practises it is asking for the solution scope files and the installation text files. But when I am checking on Service market place , it seems SAP has with drawn the files for 617-V6 and has updated them with the latest files of 617-V7.
Now without these files I cannot proceed any further. And I have already activated the Business sets and Business Enterprise Functions in Client 000 and created a new client from 000.
In this regards can anyone advise what will be the best way forward. Can I upgrade my BP version BP-ERP 617-V7 now and proceed. Are there any special steps that I need to do for the BC sets which are already activated. I am guessing I will need to a client copy once again.
I also went through SAP Note 1301301 , Point IV , which talks about the upgrade of SAP BP package but it lacks clarity on the above points.
I have also raised a Customer message on this but will really appreciate your views in this regards.
Thanks

Hello Surajit Das,
In http://service.sap.com/swdc have you tried looking in Archive Area ?
SAP will generally hold the previous versions of software and components in the archive area for some time.

What is the SAP best practise

we are planning for new co.code, does it suggestable of using existing document types for various business processes like purchases, returns and stock transfers..etc or creating new document types.
plz suggest the best practise

hi
SAP Best practices are entirely different subject. your case is what is best suited for you and whether you can go with the existing document types of SAP. My reply will be it all depends upon your processes you have already and how you wish to take forward. As fas as document types are concerned unless it is specifically required to differentitate betwen different activites one must go with standards for example IMPORT and DOMESTIC POs , you should have two different document types, like wise.. or else it is better to go with standrads.

SAP Best Practise. Requirement for CERTIFICATES for products being sold

Hi All
Please share is there a SAP Best Practice for using CERTIFICATES in SAP?
There is a legal requirement in Russia for products being SOLD: if product is subject to cerification, then company is now allowed to sell such product if certicate is missing or expired.
- product should be blocked for sales order/ quoatation if mandatory ceriticate is missing or expired.
Is there a SAP Best Practice for this kind of process?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Andrey

Hi
I suppose this can be achieved through DMS (Document Mangament System).
You can customize the cross plant material master settings and link it to the DMS module.
The suggesstion I am givng is very high level, but it might help you to put your thoughts in that direction.

Best practise in SAP BW master data management and transport

Hi sap bw gurus,
I like to know what is the best practise in sap bw master data transport. For example, if I updated my attributes in development, what are the 'required only' bw objects should I transport?
Appreciate advice.
Thank you,

Hi Vishnu,
Thanks for the reply but that answer may be suitable if I'm implementing a new BW system. What I'm looking for is more on daily operational maintenance and transport (a BW systems that has gone live awhile).

Advice or best practise information about 1 or 2 clients in SAP R/3 DEV

I'm searching for advice or best practise information about clients in a SAP R/3 development system.
Reason for this is that we are up to refresh our SAP R/3 development system and up to now we have two clients on it:
- One customizing/development client without master data, transaction data et cetera
- One local test client with master data, transaction data and so on
One of our developers suggested to only have one client on development, where we could customize, program and test. So that client would be with master data, transaction data et cetera.
What would be your advice or what would be best practise for the development system: 1 client (with data) or 2 clients (one clean customizing and one with data). And what are the most important reasons to do it so.
Maybe there is already some good (SAP) information about this specific subject, but up to now I havenu2019t found it yet.

Maybe I've asked my question too broad. I'll try to narrow it down.
Up to now we always had two clients on our SAP R/3 development system:
- Client 200 - Customizing/development only. No other data in this client
- Client 400 - Local test client with master data and transaction data. New customizing is copied from client 200 to test
The reason for having those two clients are:
- It feels someway good to have a customizing-only client
- We've always done this before
A developer suggested to only have one client in our SAP R/3 development system for the following reason:
- You'll never need to copy the customizing (tr.SCC1) first to be able to test it
- You can work in one client and don't need to login in the other client to test it (for example: ABAP reports)
- For customizing of easy setting (for example producthiërarchie, as we don't test it everytime in client 400) it is possible to forget copying it into client 400 (test client). With one client, you can not forget it
The reasons of this developer seems very valid and up to now we haven't found a convincing/compelling reason to make a good choice for one or two clients.
Please, try to convince us with good reasons to choose for one or two clients.

Best practise for SAP users who leave the company

Hi
Could anyone reccommend a best practise document or give advice on how to deal with SAP user ID's when employee's/contractors/consultants leave? I am the basis admin just starting an SAP implementation and we have no dedicated authorisation team at the moment, so I have been asked to look into this :
Currently we set the validity date in SU01 to the termination date.
We chack there are no background jobs scheduled under that user id, if there are, we change the job owner to a valid user (we try to run all background jobs under an admin account).
We do not delete the user as from an audit point of view I believe it restricts information you can report on and there are implications on change documents etc, so best to lock it with validity dates.
Can anyone advise further?
We are running SAP ECC 5.0 on Windows 2003 64 Bit/MS SQL 2000.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Different people will tell you different versions of what they believe is best practice, but in my opinion you are already doing reasonably well.
What I prefer is
1. Lock ID & set validity date.
2. Assign user to user group LEAVER or EXPIRED or something similar (helps with reporting) out of SUIM/S_BCE* reports.
3. Delete role assignment (should you need it, the role assignment will be in the change history docs anyway).
4. Check background jobs & act accordingly.
For ease of getting info I prefer not to delete the ID though plenty of people do.

Best Practise on SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4

Hi Tech gurus!
I'm Luckshmanan from Bangalore,India.
We installed SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4. Now, we need to install the Best practice in the same system.
How to do that?
With regards,
Luckshmanan.

Hi Luckshmanan,
You can install Best Practise addon BP-ERP 604V2 on your SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 system as per note 1425037.
BTW, the latest version BP-ERP 604V3 is to be released in June 2010. Maybe you can wait until BP-ERP 604V3 is released.
With Best Regards

BEST PRACTISE on users deletions HR/SU01

Hi
we use CUA/SSO.
The records are fed from HR records and sent to Active Directory (AD)
AD brings backs the records and creates/changes users in SU01
A function module populates the CVR (timesheet) parameter dependent on whether you are an employee or a contractor
Occasionally, our HR department request records to be deleted from the SAP Support team - for example if the employee or contractor hasn't in fact joined the company.
Until some time ago, the deletion was causing problems because:
a) the record does not get deleted in AD and there is no way to send the deletion across after
b) when AD tries to reprocess that specific record, LDAP connector will not find it as HR record so what happens in SU01 for some reasons, the VALID from field gets wiped out and the CVR parameter for Timesheet also...
We have changed the process for the deletion however, I would like to ask if you know what is the best practise for this?? HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
I hope I have provided enough info on what the issue is..
Thank you
Nadia

Best practice is not to delete.
> HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
So many people with the same name? Perhaps a suffix of 2 numbers when the ID naming convention produces a clash. Besides, do your AD admins not want unique names in the AD as well?
E.g. (just an imperfect example)
MUSTERMA = Alfred MUSTERMan
MUSTERMM = Manfred MUSTERMan
MUSTER01 = Mechtilde MUSTERMuller
> I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
Surest way is to determine that they have never logged on before. But that does not exclude that records might exist for them, which may eventually do a "user existence check" to be read. One such example is the Security Audit Log, e.g. there may have been failed login attempts.
Good luck,
Julius

Best way to display executive dashboards on the IPad?

In your opinion, Apple, what is the best way to display Executive dashboards using the IPad?
Our company purchased IPads in hopes that they would be able to display the our Web-based Dashboards, but they cannot. The dashboards render fine in the Safari for PC, but in mobile safari they do not. Is there any way to change mobile Safari's user agent?
Is there any other avenue you suggest?

First, Apple will not respond here. We're all just fellow users participating in these forums.
As to your question, what exactly are these "dashboards"? What technology is used to generate them? If it's either Adobe Flash or Java, then they will not work from an iPad and quite likely never will. If they're being generated by standard HTML and JavaScript, then it's possible one of the other browsers, such as Mobile Opera, might work (though with Opera there may be security issues you'd have to investigate before you adopted that as a solution).
Without more detail as to the site(s) you're trying to access, it's difficult to offer more specific suggestions.
Regards.
