SAP HCM Implementation: Blue Print Phase

Hi,
I have been wondering if there are any template of generic questionnaires to be asked to the client during the TO BE info gathering which is compact and covers all aspects of an organisation. It would also be good to understand what kind of generic solutions that a consultant could offer the client.
I would be happy to understand the above scenarios on a very generic perspective.
Thanks in advance.
Papri

Hi Papri,
As others said it depends on the client business..
for an example...i am writing some points to give you an idea
you should prepare the questionnaire to get all the necessary information to configure in SAP.
The business blue print if the final doc to start your implementation
during this stage we need to identify the clients current business process and you will map in SAP ,, in BBP we maitnain the as is and tobe how we map it to sap and also we identify anf Gaps
if you are gathering info about OM for instance
u2022     what is their current org structure
u2022     how many divisions and departments the do have
u2022     how they defined is it based on functionality (eg:sales dept, R&D dept)
u2022     how many jobs they do have in the company ,what kind of positions they do have etc
for PA module
u2022     for enterprise structure you can ask the client how many company codes (how many balance sheets they prepare)they do have,
u2022     what all the location the company established(for PAs and PSAs)
u2022     how many employee groups they do have (reg ,contractor, temp etc)
u2022     to configure Actions you can ask them how they process/maintain employee master data,
u2022     what is the process they follow from employee hire to retire/separation
u2022     what all they maintain during hiring an employee (so that you can put those infotype s in infogroups for actions)...
u2022     how many wagetypes they do have (for 8 infotype) how they process salry monthly or weekly(to define payroll area)
for time management
u2022     what all the shifts they do have for their employees, general or afternon shift etc ,
u2022     does the shifts wil change periodically or constant etc
u2022     what all the leave types they do have CL,SL ,EL,
u2022      how many leaves quotas , how many leaves for the quotas(SL 12 days etc)
u2022      how the leaves will be credited,month end or starting etc
u2022     does the leaves will be carry forward or not
how they track attendance , does they have 3rd party system to track leave management or payroll calculations etc
hope it throws some light on your question...

Stuck seriously in the blue print phase of project--- please help

I am Prabhas, sap XI associate consultant in capgemini. I am stuck in the design phase of my project.I am writing this mail to you for helping me in designing the blue print of my scenario. My scenario is like this.
XI will receive a flat file containing stock data and it processes by transforming the structure and then dump the data to R3 system. The output of XI actually invokes some function modules in the target R3 system which in turm executes some BAPIs for committing some transactions.I am clear with the flow and how to realize the process.But the problem is with the function module written to execute some transactions with the help of BAPI.Suppose for some reason one of the transaction commit is failed and the RFC adapter goes in error.Now the question is after correcting the error if we restart the msg in RFC adapter will it start executing the transaction in which it faced the error or the whole RFC will be executed again.
I hope the problem is clear to you.Please help in getting over this. Thank you.
Regards,
Prabhas

Prabhas,
A few quick questions~
1. How are you maing the RFC call? is it a single RFC call that will contain all the records from the file or are you going to make one RFC call for each record in the file?
The user of Recordsets permessage depends on this factor.
If you are going to make a single RFC call, then you cannot use Recordsets per message if there is some dependency in the records.
>You mean to ay that even some of the transactions which were committed before the error, we can undo them in RFC. If it is so i am clear with the point.
Well if all records are going to be pushed into a single RFC call, then yes, your RFC code should be such that if there is some error whileprcoessing the call, it should be able to undo the same!
If it is the other option where you are going to make one rfc call per record, the issue will not arise, if there is some error, you can correct the same and restart the mesage from XI .

Bhavesh

Shah ,
You can start with the ASAP methodology , it has some Business Blueprints along with it.
As for books , you have quoted most of the books and you can also look at relevant books in
sap-press.com
there you will find the official SAP books on BW -
but agian they might be expensive
As for Business Blueprint , there is a Book called SAp R/3 Business Blueprint ut that would be for R/3 and does not have BW related Business Blueprints in it but definitely a start...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0135211476/103-1653144-3955852?v=glance&n=283155
this is for Business Process Blueprint , I am not aware of any book on Business Blueprint for BW but you can defintely check out ASAP for BI.
BTW which version of BI / BW you are working on ??

OCM by SAP HCM implementation – well known areas

Dear Colleagues
Changes caused in behavior and organization in ERP scope are well known but now I am facing the wide HCM implementation (SAP HR and ERECRUIT) and I am looking for some advices like a kind of lists or case studies of changes caused in big organizations in this area.
Best regards
Waldemar

For the real end-users (applicant / candidates), the effort is less;
for existing candidates on career portal the change would be how they access their profiles / view the status of their application. You may need to highlight the "changes" from existing to new process.
for new applicants, since they have to register their profile - the standard documentation could suffice.
For the staffing organization, however, which includes Recruiters, Administrators, Managers etc, the impact is larger. The procedure they were following earlier - with existing recruitment system, would change. This would require role-based training highlighting
the new procedure - ERECRUIT standard documentation may help here.
the changes along-with how the change would be beneficial to the staff (first) and then the organization.
By introducing some competitions with incentives could help in quick adoption.
Hope the above helps. The above process helped me on an engagement of deploying SAP E-Recruiting System where I worked on OCM role.

Business blue printing doubt

Hi all,
i am doing an implementation (business blue printing phase)
I have a requirement from the business users they have given some KPIs and reports based on these
KPI's but i am not sure to which value they are actually looking at like we have sales quantity in controlling as well as in SD.
and also moving average price is in product costing ..so i have asked my functional consultants to give me the list of fields of the KPI's given by the business users
in an assumption that i can be sure that i will pick the right datasource if i exactly know the field.
am i on the right track r else am i unnecessarily wasting the time...will it be of any help to me please kindly confirm
thanks and regards
neelu

Hello Neel,
yes. For eg. if the users are posting billing documents and want to report on sales values or quantities based on total billing docs posted, then you can use the datasource 2lis_13_vditm meant for billing.
you can also refer to best business practices for standard scenarios and try to match with the business reporting requirements.
You need to find out the exact transactions in R/3 based on which they want to carry out reporting. The transactions in R/3 mostly have standard datasources related to them.
for eg. purchase orders/scheduling agreements in R/3 will have datasources in applicatio component 02. The material movements posted including goods receipts, issues, stock transfers will have datasources within 03 applicatio component.
the billing docs can be seen in sales application components, whreas the quality notifications can be found in 05 appliation components.
check out rsa5 in R/3 for available datasources and check out the respective business content for standard cubes, queries available for these datasources.
Hope it helps..
thanks,
