    Hi,
    This type of functinality can be Map through using Inventorised  excise  duty.
    In this tax procedure is if TAXINN.
    then you have to make tax code using FTXP.
    In which you will maintain  Condition records for those  condition types which are of inventory type rather than set off.
    Like for BED - JMIP.
                ECS-JEIP
    and then two other conditions  JMX2 and JEP2.
    hope this is clear if any doubt please ask.

  • SAP Implementation in cement industry

    Hi,
    This is my second implementation in cement vertical.In earlier implementation I went with repetitive with QM.Please can you justify which will be the best suitable for cement ,REM or PP-PI.with reasons. 
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Better go for Repetitive Manufacturing.If customer required according to the various order go for Discrete.
    Work centre consider as a line . Each cement grade must have separate BOM and routing. Accordingly must create materials.
    Also, Refer this[ Very IMP Link !|http://www.sap.com/community/showdetail.epx?ItemID=14566]

  • Requirement Gathering for Utilities Industry- Urgent

    Dear Guru's
    Very Urgent please
    Can one of you please help me asap,
    For  SAP EHS to implement for Utilities customer what are point to be consideration ( Please not that this fresh green field implementation)
    None of the other core modules has been implemented.!
    Request you to send your value updates asap
    Thanks for your time and support
    Sia

    Dear Sia
    you are asking the wrong question. First: what type of industry is "utility customer")? Second: EHS is quite big. Therefore in most cases you start "small" and grow (with several projects).
    As well you statement: None of the other core modules has been implemented.!
    does not really help. Which module you are looking for to use ? SAP MM, SAP SD, SAP PP???
    The topic "how so starte an "EHS" driven project is asked often here. The answer is quite difficult without knowing the specific demand.
    E.g.check: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
    You will find references to other similar threads asking this question. And honestly: all depends: which software will be used? e.g. will you use SAP ERP EnhPack 7? Will you use (is there a need for) on top "Component Extension for SAP EHS Management"?
    Therefore. sorry: No answer to your question is possible
    C.B.
    PS: check in the document above Section: "How to start an EHS project?" This is not a complete refernce to other threads here asking the same / nearly the same question

  • Time frame for SAP implementation query

    Hi guys,
    I am a university student and am currently trying to collect some information for my paper on development of ERP systems in industrial companies, particularly SAP. I'm meant to do some field research, but it is proving to be rather difficult, which is why I wanted to ask for some help from people who have experience in the implementation of the SAP system.
    What I'm looking for is the time frame that the SAP system takes to integrate into an industrial firm. Also, the scope of integration (ie how many and which modules were added on top of the core SAP system) and the number of users after the full implementation of the system.
    I don't need the name of particular companies, as I understand that that may be disclosing too much corporate information, but it would really help me if someone could give me a realistic time frame of the implementation process for SAP.
    Thank you, in advance!
    Anya

    Anya,
    Update to your queries:
    size of the company that this SAP implementation took place at:
    Answer : In terms of revenue $200 million +
    Interms of employees 6000+
    HR module in particular - whether it can be fully implemented separately and how long would it take?
    Answer:
    Definately, it can be fully implemeted and other modules may not be used
    Time period - 3+ months as Business packages are available in SAP.

  • Utilities Industry menu does not appear

    Hi,
         in my sap menu does not appear Utilities Industry menu. But all IS-U CCS t-codes works fine. What can i do to this menu come back to my sap menu?
    Thanks,
    Estevan Stracke
    Edited by: Estevan Stracke on Jul 18, 2008 2:47 PM

    Sounds like a user management issue to me...
    Try transaction SISU, this should display the utilities menu on it own. If this works, I guess your installation is correct, but you should somehow enable the menu in the user roles.
    I'm no expert on that though...

  • SAP implemenation in Casting Industry

    Hi,
    We are doing implementation for Casting Industry.
    There are many stages in the process.
    1) Core Manufactruing
    2) Moulding
    3) Motlen Metal
    4) Casting-Pouring
    5) Shot Blasting stage 1
    6) Fettling
    7) Re-shotblasting
    8) Painting
    9) Packing
    Can any one guide me for following.
    1) We should go for 9 Material codes.
    or
    2) Two matrial codes one before Pouring and second after pouring of metal
    or
    3) Any one has experience in Casting plant implementation.
    There are approx 30 products each are manufactured everyday & with above 9 stages we are landing to 270 Production order a day. It will be very hactic activity for Releaseing, confirming , etc to the client.
    Any one has good experience or expertise, please advice.
    Regards,
    Manish

    Manish,
    1) We should go for 9 Material codes.
    Probably not, but only your client can tell you.  Does he need to store inventory at any/all of the intermediate stages of production?  Does he have reporting requirements about the valuation of the material(s) at various stages of production?  What is the amount of time it takes to process something from RM stock to FG stock? How much commonality is there between the various components of the 30 FGs? Will any of the levels (from RM to  FGs) be manufactured as MTO or MTS? Are there any quality inspection/sampling requirements at intermediate stages? What kind of material traceability will be required?  You must get these and other important answers during your investigation phase of the project, before you can even begin to make a recommendation to your client.
    2) Two material codes one before Pouring and second after pouring of metal
    Maybe.  Or, maybe even only one material number (just the FGs) from the beginning to end.  Your client will decide when you give him the options.
    There are approx 30 products each are manufactured everyday & with above 9 stages we are landing to 270 Production order a day. It will be very hectic activity for Releasing, confirming , etc to the client.
    I guess this calculation is based on the '9-intermediate-materials-per-FGs' scenario.  This may or may not be acceptable, only your client can answer.  I have worked in environments where 1,000 production orders per day was acceptable, and also in environments where 30 orders a day was unacceptable.
    As a side note, just because you manufacture something every day does not mean you must have an order every day.  You can enter a production order for a quantity that equals 10 days worth of manufacturing capacity, and the system is just as happy as it would be if the order only consumed 1 day's capacity or 1 hour's capacity.  The shop floor people just keep working on the longer orders until they are done.  The size of the production or process or planned order is dependent again upon the client and his business requirements.
    Many of the above decisions will have to be made in concert with requirements from functional areas other than PP.  Usually during an implementation, all the functional areas will work together to come up with the solution(s) that best fit the client's requirements.  
    I have never worked in casting.  However, SAP does have a Best Practice for Fabricated Metals that may be helpful.  Here is the Building block library

  • Scope of SAP SD in Retail Industry

    Kindly throw some light on this .

    Subashini

    Hi Subahashini
    As far as retail companies are concerned they are more into IS-Retail
    which is nothing but Industry solutions for retail
    This is similar to SD but more focussed on retail industry needs

  • Sap implemented companies in uk

    Hi every body,
                      Could some one tell me how to find out sap implemented companies in u.k. i have checked in google and sap.com but i am not able to find out few companies. any website please..
      many thanks
      srikanth

    Srikanth,
    Its a very difficult question to answer for me atleast.
    You can search for resumes on SAPGENIE.COM, may be you can find resumes with UK clients.
    Or you can go to SAP website and there you can have industry wise client list. Then it is your job to figure out which of those clients UK companies.
    I only know British petroleum (Oil and Gas company) based in UK.
    If I come across anything I will let you know.
    Good luck,

  • QGM for Greenfield SAP Implementation

    Hi All,
    We are doing a greenfield SAP implementation. As of now we are done with DEV landscape build. We would like to utilize Quality Gate Management for Change Management in our project. I have few queries:
    1) How should I define Transport routes at this stage to activate QGM? We have only DEV systems as of now. QAS and PRD would be ready in next few months. Can I activate QGM now with logical component containing only DEV systems?
    2) Once the QAS and PRD systems are ready; How to include them in the existing QGM project?
    Any documentation or input are really appreciated.

  • Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

    Can anybody tell me one of  the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
    in these modules:-
    MM implementation
    PP implementation
    SD implementation
    FI/CO implementation
    PS implementation
    QM implementation
    HR implementation
    BI implementation
    XI implementation
    Thanks and regards
    RS

    hi,
    I will list out few of critical issues in
    Implementation :
    1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
    2.  Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
    3.  Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
    If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
    4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
    5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
    6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
    cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
    7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
    8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
    9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
    10. Declare go live to SAP Support
    11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
    12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
    13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
    14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
    15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
    After Go live :
    1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
    2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
    3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
    4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
    5. Prepare  a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
    6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
    7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
    8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
    9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
    10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
    Hope it helps.

  • "Case use" technique for SAP implementation?

    Hello all,
    has anyone used "case use" technique for SAP implementation? I mean for standard process, not only developing.

    It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
    The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
    Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
    After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
    BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
    1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
    2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
    3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
    The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
    Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
    1) Set the project scope.
    2) Generate the Project IMG.
    3) Generate the BPML.
    4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.
