Best Practice for Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database/Dashboard?

Hello All-
I was wondering if anyone had experience with implementing / developing a Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database in SAP. My company is looking to migrate its existing PFEP solution (Custom developed Excel/Access system) into SAP. If you are unfamiliar, a PFEP is a dashboard view of a part/material that provides various business groups with dedicated views to data from Material Masters, Info Records, and Vendor Master Records and combines it with historical/forecasting information. The goal is to provide a single source to all the part/material settings for a given part.
Is there a Best Practice PFEP in SAP? Or if this is something that most companies custom develop in ERP or BI?
Thanks in advance.
-Ron

I think you will likely get a response in SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM)
additionally you might want to do some searches based on SAP Lean Inventory, perhaps Kanban. I am assuming you are not using WM or EWM either?
Where I have seen PFEP incorporated into the supply chain strategy this typically requires not inconsiderable additions to the alternate UoM in MM dropping of automatic replenishment levels (reorder level) and rethinking aspects of the MRP plan so be prepared or significant additional data management work if you haven't already started on that. I believe Ryder logistics uses PFEP and theirSAP infrstructure is managed by IBM; might be an idea to try and find a linkedin resource from there. You may also find one of the ASUG supply chain,logistics, MM or WM sigs a good place to also ask questions and look for answers.

Lean Manufacturing using SAP

Hi,
Thank you for information.
It's mentioned that, combine with SAP ERP lean functionality SAP LPO offers end-to-end platform for lean implementations across the enterprise.
Pl.let me know
1) what are all the SAP ERP lean functionality (other than KANBAN and JIT).
2) Is xLPO add on facility or a separate system like APO?
3) If so, how to get the add on facility or Separate system?
4) If it's a separate system, how to Map it? (again with CIF - similar to APO)

Lean & Agile For SAP Basis Tasks

I am currently working on a project that uses the Lean & Agile approach for functional implementation. I was just wondering if anyone has used this approach from an SAP Basis side and if so can you please point me in the direction for some documentation?
Any experience you can share will be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Marilyn,
I'm not sure if you made any progress on this, but I have some useful experiences in this space.

What is the best way to build a career path where I can evolve into an SAP role instead of one that is Customer Service based?

In October 2011, my previous employer converted to SAP, as the rest of the worldwide entities were already using SAP. At that time, I was an Order Coordinator, where my job role was to process all of the Inside/Outside Sales Representatives orders for the US. Because of my keen attention to detail, the speed in which I learn new roles and general IT knowledge, I was asked to be the SAP SuperUser for our Financial Operations team. I quickly began to learn the roles of Order-to-Cash, Customer Master Data, Pricing Conditions, Contracts, some Material Master Data, and even Customer/Material Pricing Audits. I also performed manual customer billing in SAP until the automatic modules were implemented. Knowledge of these roles created a need for me to become a trainer to my team, where the SAP Consultants left off. After only working in SAP for the few months after the conversion started, I evolved out of an Order Coordinator rights of access and was given a not-so-typical role as an "analyst". I had more than a firefighter role in SAP, as my normal log in credentials gave me full rights to all of these modules and even special reporting. Our parent global company realized necessity for my role and followed proper protocol to authorize the access changes to still meet the SOx regulations. Prior to using SAP, I never thought I'd fall in love with it and enjoy my job so much, but it happened! Despite my previous employer's less than perfect data that was copied into SAP, we managed to have an efficient ongoing process to clean it all up. I became more of a liaison between Financial Operations and our IT Dept/SAP Consultants. I "translated" the technical steps that IT/SAP Consultants were trying to teach everyone and trained my Financial Operations team in a way they would understand. I truly enjoyed my job, even at our most difficult moments.
However, after all of the fun I was having while working in SAP and truly gaining a ton of useful experience and knowledge, "life" happened and I had an opportunity to move from Atlanta, GA to southern California. I've searched for months to find a new career here in California with a company that I could continue my learning experiences and become more proficient in SAP, but I'm a little lost. My search to find jobs have only given me possibilities in Customer Service positions or ones that are SAP sales/programming based. I'm floating in limbo and looking for help from the SAP community on where I can go from here to get back into a career path with SAP.
I'm 28 years old and I'm currently finishing my Associate degree in Business Administration. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), certified with the Help-Desk Institute as a Support Center Analyst, and also completed my previous employer's Quality Advocate Certification which focused on Six Sigma and Lean concepts. Prior to leaving the company, I was being considered for a company sponsored training in the Six Sigma Green or Black Belt program. I've recently started working a contract position as a Customer Service Rep, processing orders, but the company will be completing an SAP conversion in May 2013; so only a few months away. The problem I have in this position is that I feel frustrated in learning their current software when their entire team seems to have their own personal ways of doing their job. I prefer to have structure and perform job duties the right way, then building on that to make the job more streamlined. I spoke with my recruiter but he feels I may be a bit premature on feelings about working in this contract position. I may be just feeling a little impatient in having to wait another 3 months to see if the company may even hire me on permanently and what role I would have with SAP, beyond Customer Service Rep. I'm hoping to get some direction from the SAP community on where I might focus my attention in learning SAP. My hope is to find a position working with SAP like the one I enjoyed so much back in GA. I'm even considering options to learn the programming side. I think SAP is a great software package once people understand how it's designed, or can be designed, to work.
Please help!!
I'd be happy to provide my resume to anyone willing to review it and give me some pointers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the length and detail of your post. I struggle answering questions from folks who give too little info. It's refreshing to have too much info for a change.
I'll summarize your post and give suggestions:
You have very strong end user experience, almost bordering on support level SD knowledge. You have experience with the way that at least one company implemented SAP SD but don't have many years of experience with different approaches, so you can't pitch yourself as someone who's "been-there, done-that" outside of the SD world and you can't bill yourself as having SD functional knowledge to the extend that you could be a consultant for SAP SD. (See FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP for descriptions of different traditional SAP career paths.)
You've moved to Southern California, which is chock full of companies using SAP, by the way, and you're having a hard time finding the right job. Your education is probably going to be problematic at this point. Most SAP related jobs require a Bachelor's Degree at a minimum. Definitely keep on going with your degree. I don't know where you're doing your associate's degree, but you might want to look in to Cal State Fullerton, which has an *excellent* SAP focused business degree program. (http://business.fullerton.edu/).
You've found work at a company but had to start over at a lower level of responsibility. Since the job you just landed will be transitioning to SAP in 3 months, you have an opportunity to repeat your previous rise by volunteering to be a super-user again. Alternatively, you could talk to the group within your company and express your desire to help out supporting the system from the back end. Traditionally, companies lose a few folks immediately following an implementation, so there's a good chance that if you make your desires and skills known, that you'll be able to move onto the support team once a position opens up.
All of the above assumes that you want to continue on the functional side of SD. You didn't mention any aptitude or preference for programming. It is certainly easier to get programming jobs than functional jobs (see How did you get your start in SAP?), but it seems like you really enjoyed the functional side of SAP. I do *not* recommend learning an SAP skill for which you have no desire simply to get a job, hoping that you can switch later. Use the skills you have to get the job you really want, doing something that really excites you. It's far to easy to fall into a job simply because it's there and get trapped and burned out.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

No inbound delivery/TO created for goods receipt into a Lean WM Storage Loc

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are using SAP 46C with Support pack 45. We have quite a few storage locations that are Lean WM managed. The Storage locations are not HU Managed. However everytime run a MB1C or MIGO 501, SAP is receiving the materials directly via a material document. I was under the impression that any time a storage location is either WM, Lean WM or HU managed, SAP always creates an inbound delivery and in case of Lean WM/WM a transfer order to receive the material. Please tell me what am I missing.
I have created plant, storage location and assigned the combination a lean Warehouse.
I have done the configuration under:
Customizing> Logistics Execution> Shipping--> Lean WM.
Please help me with why my system is not creating inbound deliveries.
Thanks.

hi
i am not 100% percent but I do not think that you can have inbound deliveries in to a lean wm environment. Inbound deliveries need to be pout away and as there are no bins etc in lean wm there is no put away to be done. If you want Inbound deliveries etc you are talking about full WM

How to enable Billing plan tab in sales order (lean) with NWBC

Dear All,
The Billing plan tab in sales order (lean) is not availabe with NWBC. How to enable this tab?
Is there is any documentation to do the modifications of NWBC's webdynpro screens?
for example, there is a standard webdynpro screen in NWBC from SAP best practices to create sales order (lean). The lean sale order screen having restricted elements and tabs when compare with standard SAP GUI (t code va01).
So I want to include the few missing tabs for data entry.
any documentation or solution?
thanks in advance,
Suresh Yerra.

Disable login prompt for SAP NW based Xcelsius Dashboard

Hi all,
Need assistance to understand what needs to be done in the below case:
Current scenario:
1. Developed Xcelsius Dashboard based on SAP NW Connectivity on BO XI 3.1 SP2+.
2. Configured trust between SAP BW server and BO Server using steps outlined in integration kit(login/accept_sso2_ticket, etc).
Imported user roles in BOE and enabled SAP authentication.
After this, WEBI Reports based on Bex queries refresh in Infoview without prompting for Login id/Password.
3. Configured SAP Server to enable portal/interop switch to display the Xcelsius Dashboard within Infoview which is the existing BI portal. Used Hyperlink object for enabling the link.
In the hyperlink, I am using the same link which gets generated when I use the option Xcelsius 2008>>file menu>>SAP>>Launch
Issue: On click of Hyperlink, I get SAP EP Login window. Once I fill up the SAP user id and password, the dashboard comes up
Server Configuration:All on same domain
SAP system ID=X(SAP BW server)
SAP system id=Y(SAP EP Portal)
BOBJ system Z(BOBJ Server)
User roles stored in X. Entitlement system defined in Z for SAP BW Server X.
Dashboard is not available in SAP EP Portal in any folder as of now. Have not created any roles yet.
As per the various posts and KB articles,
Do I need to enable SNC for both X and Y? or trust between Infoview and SAP EP portal can be enabled without enabling SNC?
Just like SAP BW server, does the SAP EP portal also has *.cert files that can be used to exchange with BO Server to enable trust.
Thanks,
V Fernandes

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your explanation. I was referring the configuration mentioned in the wiki article for displaying Xcelsius Dashboard in Infoview where this was explained as a possibility. Even though its not Lean.
Link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofanXcelsiusdashboardinBOE+Infoview]
The only difference in my case is the use of SAP Authentication instead of Enterprise.
Thus as per your last update the following workflow is only valid:
1. User logins to Infoview using SAP Authentication.
2. User clicks on Xcelsius Dashboard Hyperlink object.
3. SAP Enterprise Portal login pops up within the Infoview Workspace.
4. User has to fill in the Login credentials again.
5. Dashboard load up successfully.
Please correct me in case I am wrong.
Thanks for the response.In case there is any other way this can be achieved, then please do let me know. Appreciate for all the help.
Regards,
V Fernandes

Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

Hello,
our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AEV

Dear AEV,
I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
Best regards

BO training with SAP Development background(ABAP)

HI guys. I just wanted to see what everyone's option is regarding Business objects development.
I have about 8 years of SAP development experience. Mostly with ABAP and web dynpro.
I have given the opportunity to take BO training for our future implementation.
Is there specific class you recommend me taking?
Would I benefit in the future if I have ABAP + BO development experience? or am I comparing apple and oranges here?
would it be better if I take BW(instead of BO)?
Just looking for you thoughts.
thanks

Our company is currently implementing SAP BPC and BO
I was given the opportunity to take some training but I am not sure which way to go about it.
I am leaning towards BO for the fact that it integrates with 3rd party software/DBs and I dont have to be tied to SAP till eternity.
But at the same time, I have some reservations going the BO way because of my many years of ABAP experience which I think BW will suit me better in the short term( less learning curve).
Can someone who has been in my shoes provide some insight into my future?
One of the reasons I am leading more towards BO is for the fact that HANA will provide most of the BW functionality build into it in the future. This argument alone makes me hesitant to invest myself in BW at this time.
Also , does BO have much to do with SAP BPC? I hear is that most of the development work will be done in EXCEL and BW? is this true? will there be need for BO developer?

Installing SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial Version on laptop

Hi Experts,
Can any one help me to Explain the step by step procedure to install SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial Version
on my laptop?
Regards
Sarath S

Hello Sarath,
here are some points you should keep in mind:
1. Download both parts of the trail version from SAP --> link to it
2. Each of both should have a size of about 1.4GB
3. Save both files in the same directory
4. Extract part1 with a zip-program like WinZip or WinRAR
5. Check that you have about 15 or 20GB of free space
6. Check that your hostname isn't longer than 13 characters
7. Verify that your computer is ping-able by the ip-adress and the hostname
8. Your user account has to be in the administrator-group of the computer
9. Deactivate the installed antivirus- and firewall-program while installing
10. If you had an older trail version already installed please check the steps in the first part of the following site to clean up your computer --> link to it ("Error code = 200...")
11. Stop all running programs, go to the extracted folder, start the start.htm, click on the entry Installation in the right navigation and finally start the Installer
12. Lean back for about an hour and cross the fingers that it will work
Also please don't use Vista - it isn't supported at the moment.
Hope it helps.
Good luck.

Norman Schröder

SAP ECC 6.0 - Using BAPIs for C# to extract data out

I have had a client recommend a strategy of extracting data usin C# (Visual Studio 2005) to extract data from SAP ECC using BAPIs.
We do have an existing methodology in place using flat files to extract data to non SAP systems
We have purchase XI which we intend to implement next year.
I basically wanted to keep things tidy and continue with the flat file interface strategy just to keep things simple going forward to XI.
THen there is also the security piece, the developer has had to slowly build a profile / roles that alows him to come in thru visual studio to access these BAPIs
I am looking for anyone who has had experience with this and what your experiences are. As well, what are the SAP best practicies concerning this strategy
Thank YOU ALL who will reply

I think that SAP's strategy toward exposing BAPI is leaning toward leveraging their AS-JAVA stack. With the AS-JAVA Enterprise Services and standard delivered web content, SAP is already exposing many existing BAPI/Business Functionality outside of the ABAP world. However, that's not saying that traditional flat files have no place in the future. Matter of fact, I don't see flat/delimited files going away any time soon.
It all really comes down to what you are doing, you may even end up with a landscape that's a mix of files/RFCs. Here inhouse, we leverage file based transfers for large data sets such as SAP BI OHS extracts, and daily R/3 FI extracts. Why file? because it's simple, easy to control, and you can see the data being transferred. A file can be "hold in my hands" if you will, at best there's just a few characters in-flight.
As for RFCs, any type of RFCs in fact (Anything from sap .net connector to AS-JAVA ESOA Based ES), are basically designed for transactional data. Here, you are looking at things that are high in transactional count but small in individual size. Your client's call using C#, it all really depends on how you are doing it. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make sure you are using a proven, standarized, and SAP supported way, PERIOD. NEVER EVER go into production with a "hack".
For the high-transactional-count-small-individual transactions, we leverage BizTalk Server (BTS) here. I'll be frank, we are not using BTS because we wrote it. We are using BTS because it just works better for us, in our environment. BTS now support SAP 2.0 connector (registered program ID) and SAP 3.0 (WCF based, direct SAP RFC call, supported by Microsoft AND SAP). We are leveraging these adapters and BTS (as distribution and transformation) in our environment more and more.
So, long story short: Determine the transaction type, multiple solutions is ok, make sure the solution is supported!

Hi Vegendla
Technology playing a major role in today's business environment. So many companies and corporations have adopted information technology on a large scale by using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to accomplish their business transaction and data processing needs. And in this technology SAP R/3 plays a significant role when compared with other similar tools.
ERP system takes a lead role because of some of the following reasons:
Many large corporations use several different and separate information systems, often because they have merged with and/or acquired other companies with varied systems. An ERP system integrates these separate information systems and results in improved data reliability and processing efficiency. ERP systems are not only used by large corporations but becoming popular with small to mid-sized companies also.
Simplify business transaction processing and thus work load is reduced.
Some of the main advantages of using SAP R/3 are listed below:
SAP's R/3, introduced in 1992, is the most used ERP system in the world.
The R/3 software package is designed to allow businesses to effectively and efficiently operate a variety of business processes within a single integrated information system.
The software is customizable using SAP's proprietary programming language, ABAP/4. R/3 is scalable and highly suited for many types and sizes of organizations and runs on six different platforms.
SAPs R/3 has been designed to be the best ERP system in the four areas of human resources, financial, supply chain management, and marketing. R/3 is also an international product, and meets the local fiscal, language, and tax requirements of most countries.
