SAP BI beginer

ALL,
I am interested in BI and I do know the concept of BI system. May I know from the experts what are the notes I can read to know about SAP BI thoroughly. If I want to become a SAP BI functional consultant do I need to know about technical side (developer -ABAP) or just functional (I am comparing the BI system with R/3 system where we have developer,configurer).
kindly,
Kevin.

Begin a SAP career starting as ABAP IV developer

Hello,
Soon I want to start a course in ABAP IV, with the aim to get certified in the medium term. I've played some SAP, and I think it could like me much.
Anyway, I would like to make a career in SAP world, beginning as ABAP developer as IT professional I am. But in large term, I would like to get specialized in any module. So, I would ask you if this is a real possibility, or being an ABAP developer, you get stuck the professional career as ABAP developer.
Being IT, which module can I opt for?, Only BASIS?, or also can I opt for modules like BI, FI, Sales, .. without having studied something related with management and business administration?
Regards and thanks in advance from a newbie.

Luis,
"getting suck in the same module"....
Let me give you a parallel example, generally an actor gets similar roles based on his past (successful) performances. Breaking into different roles is difficult.
It all comes down to that particular actor - his desire, talent and hardwork.
So, there is no set answer. It all depends upon an individual and his luck.
Good luck!

Mapping of Business One Field names to SAP R/3 Field Names

Hi experts,
We are downgrading from SAP R/3 to SAP Business One. I am having difficulties in mapping the SAP R/3 fields to Business One fields. Hope you could help me by providing the field names in R/3 linked to Business One field names.
Thank you very much

Hi,
I have ever used SAP R/3 and I knew that there is a feature to export data from SAP R/3 to excel.
I suggest export it first if you want to migrate data from R/3 to SAP B1. The data in the excel file could be used to enter into data transfer workbench (DTW) excel template file. DTW is an addon to import data into SAP B1 database system.
You could open this folder :
C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates
after full installation of SAP B1 (begin from server tools, server application, application client, SDK, DI API, DTW).
To know more about the column template definition and location in SAP B1, you could use SDK help center file. This file is only available if you installed the SDK. This helpfile could be used to know the fields name and meaning in all SAP B1 tables
Rgds,

SAP HR Introduction help needed

Hello, I am very new to SAP, and am currently a student looking up information about SAP for an academic exercise. Just to get a handle on SAP HR portal, does anyone know of some good books or links for information on how to start building an SAP HR portal. I need to understand more information about the usual setups, costs, and other general information about this type of setup and I don't have too much experience with SAP to begin with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have looked around the wiki here and there is a ton of information, and I haven't found any really beginner or intro data that has what I am looking for.
Thanks

Hi Jon,
For SAP HR you can use the ESS (Employee Self Services) and MSS (Manager Self Services). These can be implemented into the business logic and processes via the SAP Portal.
Links:
-> ESS
 - /thread/428959 [original link is broken]
-> MSS
 - <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/29/d7844205625551e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">MSS configuration</a>
Use the key words "MSS configuration" on the SDN, this brings you a lot of practical stuff (unfortunately not on the lowest level of expertise).
Additional HR fields are:
-> Learning Portal
-> E-recruiting
You can find helpful documentation on the http://help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/80/ea89395eb58c4f9d0c3e837cf0909d/frameset.htm
In case you had any other questions, feel free coming back to this thread

Versions of SAP

Hi all,
could you please let me know different versions of SAP from begining to latest version.

The differences between most releases is so big that it is not possible to tell you what the differences are. To give you some idea of the scope of what you're asking, look at this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/8e/b40d35b4909a67e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm] and consider the size of the release notes between 46B and 46C.

Importing Legacy A/R and A/P Invoices using DTW

Hi All,
I have in interesteing situation which I need some help for.
We started using SAP B1 begining of 2008. We used DTW to import the open A/P and A/R invoices from last year (legacy data). We didn't want the legacy data to have any impact on P&L, only to be able to receive and make payments for these invoices in B1. Therefore we used a service inovice without posting to the revenue and COS accounts. Since it is not possible to post directly to a control account I created a new G/L account for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable (I called them AP Migrated and AR Migrated), which is not a control account.
When preparing the DTW files, In the lines file I specfied the AccountCode as this AR and AP Migrated G/L accounts.
Since the BP to whom these invoices relate to, have the A/P and A/R control account defined in the BP master data, each of these migrated invoices posted to the AP Migrated account with the Offset Account being the original A/P Control Account.
Now that I am recording payments, the AP and AR accounts are being updated but not the AP and AR Migrated accounts. To illustrate: Let's suppose I migrated an AP invoice for $100. It posted to the AP Migrated account and the Offset Account being the AP Control Account. Now the balance on the AP Migrated Account shows $100, and the balance on the AP Control Account shows -$100. Now after I record the payment for this invoice the AP Control Account balance is $0, but the AP Migrated account still shows $100.
How can this be rectified, and is this the correct way of doing this?
Many thanks,
Myran

Hi Suda,
Once again, many thanks for your good and speedy replies.
I am only importing the AR & AP transactions which I need to process payments in the new fiscal year. I am not importing all the other PL stuff.
Am I better off using then a seperate GL account for the AP and a seperate one for AR?

Short dump while using call selection-screen mdynnr

Hi ALL,
I need your help and information.
In programmes, We are using the statament " CALL SELECTION-SCREEN MDYNNR "
and passing the screens dynamically into variable mdynnr.
And the programme is going to dump after executing 50 times.
When we
can we use any other statement instead of CALL SELECTION-SCREEN MDYNNR.
Your information helps us lot.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivasa Reddy.

Hi,
As you know Call Screen is the statement, but you will get the problem if you are going to call it in the same LUW repeatedly. So, FM is the only convenient way to do it. This is very easy. Just create a FM and replace you statement with this FM. Hopefully this will solve your problem.
Check this comment " When you call a new main program in order to use a screen sequence (for example, using CALL TRANSACTION), a new SAP LUW begins. This may be an undesired effect, especially when you are trying to modularize a transaction that updates the database.
An alternative to this is to use an external procedure, whose main program is linked to a screen sequence, and which contains the corresponding dialog modules. Procedures run in the same SAP LUW and internal session as their calling program."
Thanks,

ITSMobile in 4.7

Hi Experts,
I Need to use ITSMobile in ERP 4.7, it is possible?
What the prerequisites and what I need to install.
Thanks for all information.
Diego Bortolucci

Hi Clyde,
That SAP is dropping support for ITSmobile is NOT TRUE!!
ITSmobile is supported longterm. We integrated ITSmobile in all SAP release beginning with 4.6C. ITSmobile as a part of the SAP system is therefore supported as long as the SAP release itself. Regarding support there is no difference between both.
You can use you code for sure. The only thing you have to do is to generate templates for each screen and make sure that the screen size set to the dimensions of the mobile device. Other than in WebSAConsole you have full control over the generated HTML. ITSmobile can therefore be used with any device.

Invoice split: MY REQ IS I HAVE TO SPLIT INVOICE IF SHIP TO PARTY DIFFEREN

Dear All
My requirement is I have to combine different deliveries (and delivery can be created with reference of different sales order ) in one invoice, combination criteria ,ship to party, bill to party ,payment term ,incoterm should be the same ,Bold marked condition is full feel by Routine 7 But ship to party is not full feel.
If different ship to party are there then invoice should be split and different invoice will create according to different ship to party. If same ship to party then one invoice.
Please go in Tcode:    VOFM- DATA TRANSFER - BILLING DOCUMENT
Check routine : 7   Inv.Split (Rec/Div)
Check the code which is given by SAP :
    DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
           MODUL(3) VALUE '001',
           VTWEG LIKE VBAK-VTWEG,
           SPART LIKE VBAK-SPART,
           ABTNR LIKE LIPS-ABTNR,
           EMPST LIKE LIPS-EMPST,
         END OF ZUK.
   ZUK-SPART = VBAK-SPART.
   ZUK-VTWEG = VBAK-VTWEG.
   ZUK-ABTNR = LIPS-ABTNR.
   ZUK-EMPST = LIPS-EMPST.
   VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
ENDFORM.
Now I am modifying this code:
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
           MODUL(3) VALUE '001',
           VTWEG LIKE VBAK-VTWEG,
           SPART LIKE VBAK-SPART,
           ABTNR LIKE LIPS-ABTNR,
           EMPST LIKE LIPS-EMPST,
           KUNNR LIKE LIKP-KUNNR             ( This KUNNR (ship to party) is from LIKP table ,with the help of this code I think ,in the creation of invoice (VF01 Tcode) ,it will check ship to party and if he found different ship to party then invoice will split. Please help me on this)
         END OF ZUK.
   ZUK-SPART = VBAK-SPART.
   ZUK-VTWEG = VBAK-VTWEG.
   ZUK-ABTNR = LIPS-ABTNR.
   ZUK-EMPST = LIPS-EMPST.
   ZUK-KUNNR = LIKP-KUNNR
   VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
ENDFORM.
Can anybody tell me this will help me to split invoice .
Or I have to use USER EXIT ? and how
Thanks and Regards
Bhushan Kolte

Yes your code will help in splitting the invoice. Actually the value mentioned in VBRK-ZUKRI will be used for splitting of invoice.
You dont need to go for user exits.
Hope this helps. Reward points if helpful.
Thanks

Hi Finally got an email back from SAP for renewing license for ABAP NW2004S system NSP.
This came back as a text attachment with a HUGE long Key
I deleted the temporary license and tried to install the new one
I point to the license text file I got with the email (NSP.txt)
Then get message
The License key library has not been initialized yet !!!
The text message I get from SAP is
Begin SAP License -
SAPSYSTEM=NSP

INSTNO=DEMOSYSTEM

EXPIRATION=20070807

If I try via the install new license panel I get a propmt for the Key but how can I generate a key from the text file shown above.
I'm sure I MUST be doing something wrong --it shouldn't be this complicated to get a system to work properly.
Cheers

Hello,
I've searched for your error message The License key library has not been initialized yet and found the following thread --> Sneak Preview WEB AS ABAP 2004s - Single sign On
The solution there was the following:
I corrected the problem adding a "\" in the system profile (RZ10) to the following parameters:
ssf/ssfapi_lib = $(DIR_CT_RUN)\sapsecu.dll
sec/libsapsecu = $(DIR_CT_RUN)\sapsecu.dll
Hope it helps.

Novice here.Need guide and support.

Hello Everyone ,I am a student and i want to learn SAP from beginning.I hope someone can guide me to where i can start my learning here.

Hello Suraj,
In SAP you would have to choose what area of SAP product you are compfortable using. Please read Product section on main page. As a starter I recommend you can start with Business One or Crystal Reports. Find a friend in your circle who use SAP products.

Reg:bapis

in rfc function modules we will call the screens.
means we can use call screen statements.
could any body suggest me
regards,
Chaitanya.

HI,
If you want to encapsulate a screen sequence with all of its flow logic and application logic, you must ensure that all of the screens in the sequence are linked to a single ABAP program. The ABAP program contains all of the dialog modules called by the screens in the sequence.
It is not currently possible to assign screens to a single procedure (subroutine, function module, or method) these belong instead to the main program of the procedure.
When you call a new main program in order to use a screen sequence (for example, using CALL TRANSACTION), a new SAP LUW begins. This may be an undesired effect, especially when you are trying to modularize a transaction that updates the database.
An alternative to this is to use an external procedure, whose main program is linked to a screen sequence, and which contains the corresponding dialog modules. Procedures run in the same SAP LUW and internal session as their calling program.
please check out the link below it will be helpful to you
