SAP GRC vs ACL (Pros & Cons)

We are starting to shop around for a good GRC solution so does anyone have any experience with the overall pros & cons between SAP and ACL?
Thanks,
Mika

Interesting... but I know whenever someone sells me a module based solution I have to ask the following question. Does the modules based solution actually work well when it's actually connected together. Most often or not the concept is great but when they actually try to deliver it's far from functional.
Secondly, what type of modules and standalone options are available?
Thanks,
Mika

Pros & Cons of Using SAP PI Interfaces for Report Generation

Hi Guru's
I have a Scenario's like
I have to generate a customized report in SAP with the main data's available in SAP ECC and some required data available in the Legacy System.
I want to know the Pros & cons of using SAP PI RFC/Proxy adapter interface to get the data from the legacy system for each time the user execute the report in SAP ECC.
Thanks in Advance

There are couple of "dimensions" to consider in your PI interface design. For exemple when you are running the sizing exercise (Since we are considering adding a net new interface), you will need to capture specific information about new interface.i.e. S/A, adapters, frequency, avg payload size. etc..Note that the last two attributes will be hard to size properly in this case since you can't predict how frequent the end user will run the report which will impact the latency time required to pull the data. Latency will affect the user experience as visible side affect and definitely the SLA for other interfaces running at the same time.
On the other hand, the data you are trying to retrieve from the legacy won't be used for transactional purpose but for the end user to pull KPIs from the system which can affect ECC as well. You may end up doing lot hot fixes for your report (Assuming that the report is a medium complexity code)
There are other factors to consider but let's consider these are the major one.
Cheers,

Alternatives to SAP GRC Tool to monitor compliance & automatic provisioning

Hello Gurus,
Not sure if this would be the right forum to ask this but surely there exist tools in the market which are viable alternatives to the SAP GRC Tool. We are a large semiconductor firm and currently manage role assignments, user provisioning and auditing manually.It is a huge cost overhead and is labor intensive.
Looking at possible alternatives?
SAP GRC Tool is a strong contender but I am trying to weigh in other options with it and their comparisons.
To your minds, what would be the biggest advantage of implementing GRC versus any other third party tool? What is the distinctive edge it provides? This is also to help me build a strong business for pushing GRC to the management.
Appreciate any thougts/ideas/suggestions, at the earliest!! Much appreciated.

Hi Tania,
GRC is a convenient grouping of solutions that have been developed and acquired over time. There are pros and cons in every application and no one can say that SAP GRC is 100% best and un comparable with any other compliance product in the market.
But, I can strongly say that GRC gels well with all the SAP flavours such as ECC and BI, and it is easy to implement, incorporate, and manage.
With the introduction of GRC 10, SAP is looking at more features and easy to manage compliance solutions. I bet you can't get A to B product comparision anywhere. I rather suggest you to look at the top ten features and advantages in different products in terms of deployment, adaptability, user friendlyness etc., and opt for the right one.

SAP GRC integration with Oracle IDAM.

We are looking to implement SAP-ISU and have a proposal to implement a SAP solution which integrates Oracle IDAM (for user provisioning) and SAP GRC. Does anyone have experience of pros/cons, possible pitfalls of this integration.
In addition, there is some debate over whether GRC is actually an unnecessary duplication in this circumstance, as there is a view that Oracle IDAM has the ability to deal with all the role management that GRC will be doing. Would appreciate any views?

Hi Alessandro,
thank you very much for your responce. But as per oracle integration docuemnt we are using stadard SAP web services for this integration peice.

One Legal entity two company code - pros & cons

Hi SAP GURUS,
We are having one legal entity with multiple products. I want each plant to be a profit center. But i am loosing plant wise profitability when we are transferring the same product from different plants, in a common depot. This is because we are not having batch & hence profitabilty for plant is lost when it is sent to depot for sale.
In this case I am thinking to go for two company code. One manufacturing & Other selling. What will be the pros & cons in this case.
Thanks
CHEERS

Yes ! kishore You are obsolutly correct !
Hi Nitin,
As per my understanding your issue seems profit cannot be determined while sending goods sending plant to another palnt. For that SAP suggested to use Transfer pricing in Prrofit centre accouting & your valuation must be profit centre valuation not company code to get internal reports.

Using Business area for External Reporting-Pros & Cons?

Dear Freinds,
We are a Retail Business Group half way through SAP IS Retail implementation. We have 8 legal entities, currently their complete Annual Financials are being made & audited separately. In SAP the structure is that there is Single Co. Code & transactions will be seggregated by Business Area (made manadatory for data entry) and Annual Accounts will be drawn up using Business Area.
This to me does not seem to be the right structure. I have joined the group recently, I will be much thankful to you all if you please help me list the Pros & Cons of using Business Area for external reporting.

Dan: <i>For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.</i>
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: <i>As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.</i>
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.

Pros/Cons of multiple shipping points

Are there specific pros or cons to having multiple shipping points for the same physical shipping location? I know that loading points can be used to differentiate different types of loading but are there any examples or pros/cons for why you would or wouldn't want multiple shipping points for the same physical location?
I know SAP doesn't prevent you from creating as many as are wanted, but I'm interested more in the business process or user impact.

Maderas,
Multiple shipping points can have many purposes, but one purpose that I am aware of and that is currently applied at my company is for determining types of shipments. For example, in plant "X" let's say that there are 3 shipping points:
X1 - large orders, require 3 days of pick/pack time
X2 - medium orders, require 2 days of pick/pack time
X3 - small orders, typically rush orders, require same day pick/pack time
You can set up your delivery batch jobs to print these different types of orders. For example, you can have X1 batch job to run 1x a day very early in the morning so that pick/packers have large orders to work on and you can have batch jobs for X3 orders to run 6x per hour near the end of the day to accommodate your rush customers.
I hope this information is helpful.

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems?

What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems? Are there any known limits as to how large a BI system can be until it experiences performance problems?
Thanks!

Hi,
I dont think there is any limit as long as your DB and Apps servers support it.
There are case studies on systems from 20 TB to 60 TB.
Regarding having two meduim installations it may not be a right choice if you consider facts like routine maintenance, DB upgrades and reorganization, number of resources required, number of DEV and QUAL servers required (this will increase as each PROD requires one DEV and one QUAL atleast).
If you have a single PROD you can do away with this.
One DEV , one QUAL and a single team of dedicated resources are required to maintain the system.

PRO & Cons of using treasury management

Hi,
I am trying to implement the treasury management, could someone tell me the PRO & Cons of using treasury management?
thanks,
Liang

Hi,
Based on the business requirement of the client you can decide upon using the Treasury module.If your client is into Banking or Investment field,then you can certainly go ahead with implementing Treasury as the daily treasury process within a company comprises a wide range of transactions, from determining the current liquidity based on bank account balances (cash position) and open receivables and payables (liquidity forecast), through to manually entering planned payment flows (advices) and carrying out cash concentration (the concentration of several bank account balances onto one target account).
The main aim is to
1)Ensure sufficient liquidity for all payment obligations that become due.
2)Ensure that the incoming and outgoing payment flows are optimally controlled and monitored.
For additional information on benefits of implementing treasury ,u can refer to the following link:

Hope this is useful.

Pro & cons for Routings vs Ref Rate Routing

One of our plants uses Reference Rate Routings (CA31, 32, 33). Many colors of vinyls are processed the same way producing many individual material numbers. So one Ref Rate Routing has many Materials assigned to it.
Recently an engineer in other plant found that he can do the same material assignment on Routings (CA01, 02, 03)
What are the pro & cons for Routings vs Ref Rate Routing when doing Material assignments
thank you for any information you can provide
Althea

Dear,
Reference routing is usually used for calling the set of operation can be used manr routings so it is reusage.
Suppose a cleaning operation is having 5 operations. This is used in may places. Then create a routing and call this operation set wherever required. Hence you need not repeate defining the operations in each time.

SAP GRC NF-e 10.0: Erro na interface NFB2B_procNFe_IB (contendo CDATA)

Olá a todos.
Poderiam por gentileza me ajudar com a questão abaixo?
Estou com o seguinte problema na interface NFB2B_procNFe_IB do SAP GRC NF-e 10.0 (Support Package 15):
Recebemos uma série de XML's de montadoras de automóveis que contém informações adicionais nas tags <infAdProd> e <infCpl>, como por exemplo:
<infAdProd>VLR. PIS R$ 6,81 VLR. COFINS R$ 31,44<![CDATA[<ID ITEM=005115/><PED=4500159772/> <UM=PC/>]]></infAdProd>
Porém ao inserir essa mensagem na interface NFB2B_procNFe_IB, a interface interpreta da seguinte forma:
    <infAdProd>VLR. PIS R$ 6,81 VLR. COFINS R$ 31,44
      <![CDATA[
        <ID ITEM=005115/>
        <PED=4500159772/>
        <UM=PC/>]]>
        </infAdProd>
Sendo assim, ocorre o erro abaixo:
<nm:ExchangeFaultDataExt xmlns:nm="http://sap.com/xi/NFE/common" xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:NED:/1SAI/TAS8DFA2846CCAA9B6570C6:702">
<faultText>Erro durante a transformação: Fim de elemento '{http://www.portalfiscal.inf.br/nfe}infAdProd' esperado programa: /1SAI/SAS6F90159886715E7C4560 caminho: nfeProc(1)NFe(1)infNFe(1)det(4)infAdProd(3)ID(1)</faultText>
</nm:ExchangeFaultDataExt>
Sei que temos algumas opções como:
1. Alterar o XML no mapping do PI; (Funcionaria com mensagens processadas através do PI, mas não conseguiria inserir um XML manualmente via SE80)
2. Alterar o XML no ABAP ao executar a classe /XNFE/CL_006NFB2B_PROC_NFE_IB; (Fazer algum replace nesses caracteres "<" e ">" por "<" ">"
Mas como fazer isso sem danificar a assinatura do XML que já está assinado e autorizado na SEFAZ?
Existe alguma nota SAP para corrigir esse problema?
Agradeço desde já a atenção.
Rodrigo Costa.

Felipe,
também tive o mesmo problema do lado do NTB2B_procNFe_OB. Tentei de várias formas transformar o XML para ficar aderente ao cliente, porém o PI sempre alterava o XML (possivelmente devido ao encoding).
Vi muitos posts sobre o tema, mas ainda quando era o GRC NF-e 1.0, com a assinatura no Java. Para o GRC 10.0 não funciona, pois quando o xml chega no PI, o mesmo já está assinado, portanto não se pode alterar nada.
A solução foi para nesses casos específicos enviar o xml através do ECC mesmo.
Mas para o NFB2B_procNFe_IB ainda sem solução.
Abs.
Rodrigo.

SAP GRC NFE não processa NFE's com itens que possuam diferentes alíquotas de IPI.

SAP GRC NFE não processa NFE's com itens que possuam diferentes alíquotas de IPI.
Alguém sabe se esse problema já foi resolvido ou conhece um contorno para essa situação ?
Desde a implantação em junho de 2013 não conseguimos processar notas que possuem itens com diferentes aliquotas de IPI.

Bom dia Fernando (que bom te encontrar aqui também :-)!
Então, o Denny da SAP Alemanha me retornou dizendo que temos que instalar o XI Content SLL-NFE 10.0 e criar novamente os cenários da NF-e.
Eu estou entrando em contato com o nosso Basis que fica em Lima para ver se é possível que ele instale este componente, para que eu crie novamente os cenários da NF-e (extensão _900).
Após a recriação dos cenários, será que eu consigo reenviar as NF-e de teste novamente ou terei que estornar os documentos e fazer os processos novamente?
Obrigado pela ajuda!

SAP GRC NFE

Hello,
eu estou trabalhando no electronica fiscal de Nota. Nós temos seguintes sistemas: --
SAP R/3 -
SAP GRC NFE--JAVA (assinaturas digitais)-SAP NETWEAVER PI/XI -
As AUTORIDADES (PARA A AUTORIZAÇÃO)
como eu verificam a conexão entre estes sistemas. Como eu sei uma comunicação existe entre
SAP GRC NFE--JAVA (assinaturas digitais)-SAP NETWEAVER PI/XI -
A conexão das AUTORIDADES (PARA A AUTORIZAÇÃO)
foi feita já com sucesso entre SAP R/3 E SAP GRC NFE através do RFC.
Por favor ajuda.
Agradecimentos adiantado,
Honey

Bom dia Honey,
Além da comunicação entre os sistemas, você deve customizar as Sefaz-es e também os CNPJs na SPRO do GRC.
Acompanhe as telas aqui:
SAP GRC NFE 1.0 - New Solution Introduction & Implemention Best Practices
Você pode testar o serviço assinador (java) diretamente pelo web service:
Web Service Navigator
Leonardo deu uma boa dica para testar o customizing dos serviços e comunicação com o sistema externo (Sefaz).
Atenciosamente, Fernando Da Ró

SAP GRC NF-e 10.0 - Problema durante Upgrade (mensagem /XNFE/APP 011)

Boa tarde a todos!
Realizamos o "Upgrade" do SAP GRC NF-e da versão 1.0 para a versão 10.0 (SLL-NFE 900, nível 0008) e estamos convivendo com um problema em uma mensagem XML do PI.
Na transação SXMB_MONI, monitor de mensagens processadas, ao filtrar por mensagens com SELSTAT = 017 Application Error - Manual Restart Possible, encontramos problemas em mensagens do seguinte tipo:
Sender: BATCH_BatchProcess_006
Receiver: CLNT100TND (Mandante 100 do Sistema TND)
Receiver Interface Namespace: http://sap.com/xi/NFE/006
Receiver Interface: BATCH_nfeRecepcaoLoteResponse_IB
Para estes, quando vou até o detalhe da mensagem e seleciono "Call Inbound Proxy" (com status vermelho), em "Payloads", vejo o erro "Não existe ID de lote 000000000000000".
Pelo que vi na tabela T100, a mensagem se refere ao código /XNFE/APP, número 011.
Por que será que está acontecendo este erro? Alguém já vivenciou esta situação antes?
P.S.: Já abri chamado na SAP e eles encaminharam o problema para a SAP Alemanha...
Obrigado,
Daniel
