What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?
Anand,
let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

Can more than 1 full life cycle implementations be done for a company?
Hi there,
Can anybody please tell me if its possible to do more than 1 full life cycle implementation for a company with multiple company codes? From my understanding, SAP life cycle is ASAP methodology, starting from project preparation to go-live. So if I'm implementing sap for 1 company code, I'll be completing 1 full life cycle implementaion. Now if i do the same for another company code, for the same parent company, will that be considered as 2 full life cycle implementation? Kindly help. I'm not so clear about this full life cycle implementation concept.
Would really appreciate your gekp.
Awaiting response,
FieonaHI,
Well I think It is possible but there are two cases.
If the implementation is in some company code having same business as the company in which initially SAP was implemented and all the business processed are same then in that case it would be called Rollout. In rollout you would only create the Organizational data that is enter prise structure and master data for that company but there will be no new process configuration as all the running process are already there.
How ever if you talk about the group lets say has two three completely different business for ex AUto mobile and Power and you implemented it initially in Automobile. Now you want to implement in Power generation sector then definately it would be a fresh implementation. In this case the most important is that you will prepare new BBP as all the business process are different. A complete new documentations, new master data , org elements and a different realization phase and testing phase would be there.
Please correct If I am wrong. -

Re: Life cycle in SAP BW
Hi gurus,
I am actually a newbie in looking for a job in SAP BW. Am more bent to put a 2-21/2 yrs experience since there's not place for freshers in UK industry, but most of the offers come saying either i should have a experience in full life cycle..could somebody explain how i could come over it
Regards
SriHi ,
When they refer to the full life cycle its the ASAP methodology which SAP recommends to follow for all its projects.
1.Project peparation.
2.Business Blueprint.
3.Realization.
4.Fit-Gap Analysis
5.Go-Live Phase.
Normally in the first phase all the management guys will sit with in a discussion .
In the second phase u will get a functional spec n basing on that u will have a technical spec.
In the third phase u will actually inplement the project and finally u after testing u will deploy it for production i.e. Go-live .
U might fall under and get involved in the realization phase .
If its a supporting project u will come into picture only after successful deployment.
let us know if any queries .......

Hi Expert,
Can anyone help me with the life cycle stages of SAP HCM.
I have a student who asked me what is the concept of SAP HCM, I explained about where was it started, what is the architecture, why is SAP preferred against other applications, modules covered, logic of integration... I would like to know if I am missing on anything as far as Concept is concerned.
Thank you in Advance.
SejalHi,
There is nothing as such called lifecycle of SAP HCM.
It is similar to an ERP application, and basically your organization first decides which of the ERP module they are going to implement, once they have decided to go for HCM, they wil opt for it.
Again in HCM it depens on customer which module he is going to implement and HCM is vast it inlcudes PA, OM, TIME, PAYROLL, BENFITS, TRAVEL MANAGEMENT, LSO, Performance management, HR Forms and Processes etc.
This implmentation has a life cycle - like
Requirement gathering, Blue printing, Realization, implementatin (Configuration and coding), Custom implemenation, Integration if required, Testing (includes, UT, SIT and User acceptance testing), Documentation and hence Go Live.
This is a huge process and requires domain / business / technical/ functional / Quality / Knowledge experts.
Hope it helps you.

Creation of BP through Web UI.with Life cycle stage concept.
Hi,
I am working on Life cycle stage.
I have added the field " Life cycle stage" field in the Web UI.
But now when i go to create a BP with a life cycle stage XXX, it throws a error saying "BP category 1 does not fit the data in category 2" and "Data contains errors and cannot be saved"
Please help me in saving the BP thr web UI.
Regards,
VinayHi Tariq,
I'm not sure if you have the latest SP - recently, a new BADI - BUPA_SET_DEFAULT was released which allowed defaulting of fields in the BAPI and Web UI scenarios. You can use that BADI to default the fields for country, name, and even other address fields on the Web UI.
If you don't have this BADI in your system, do search for SAP notes, which will also have the documentation about this.
Hope this helps you.

Business Partner Roles and Account Life Cycle management in IC
Hi all,
We have IC agents creating prospects but also back office people (i.e. sales staff) creating prospects. Back office staff uses account life cycle management to identify the prospect role. However, I noticed that the business partner role (prospect in this case) is not visible within the IC - during account creation - because the role is used within the account life cycle role exclusion group.
I can always enhance the IC component to remove the filter on the BP Role. but question I have is why does SAP IC remove the roles from the role drop down list in the IC account creation screen and how did other people get around this?
Thanks,
JohnI am also looking for an answer on this. How did other people who work on Interaction Center get around this? How do you create accounts when IC removes the BP roles mentioned in the Exclusion group config in SPRO ?

Now i am getting some doubts like what sdlc and design patterns are used to SAP BI/BW
Please could you suggest , whether we are have to use in BI/BW
