SAP-MRS, What is capacity pots

Hi All
We have implemented SAP MRS/ Multi Resource scheduling along with SAP-Plant Maintenance in EHP6 SAP GUI.
I 've a doubt & 'm not getting clarified on some certain areas reagrding MRS / Will anyone update us with the below given queries?
What are Capacity pots & the various aspects of a RFC behavior of Capacity Pots?
Please explain in brief regarding RFC behavior & Capacity pots
Thanks & Regards

This is one of the hottest area in SAP MRS
Capacity Pots enables appointment booking functionality to book jobs of a certain job type without assigning directly a resource.
The actual assignment between the created appointment and the appropriate resource is done with MRS functionality
either manually or by optimizer.Capacity Pots have basic availability maintained at work center level with respect to job type
which requires qualification of the resource. Resource with multiple qualifications can be hierarchically mapped based on customizing.
Capacity of resources are maintained as full day pot and subsequently hourly based slots can be configured in customizing
“Maintain Capacity pot Time Intervals”The Capacity Pot can be updated for work center and Qualification Category with the Availability.
The Capacity pots get updated when a service order is created and integrated into MRS / when assignment is saved in the planning board
(manually or through optimizer).
Hope this give you clarity if not please get back.

SAP MRS - Multi Resource Planning Tool

Hi All,
I am looking for 'introductionary' information on the SAP MRS tool. There is a thread already on this tool but it does not give basic data about functionality and implementaion etc.. (below)
MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling)
Does anyone have a link that give a functional spec and data sheet on the tool? An 'MRS Guide for dummies' would be great but I will take what I can get....
The context of usage will be in connection with scheduling service technicans for CS service orders.
With Thanks,
Rory

Hi PSP,
Many thanks for that. I had already searched ther SAP help Library but now realise I was searching using incorrect terminology. I will read through the info and will no doubt have more specific questions to come!
I have implemented various scheduling tools in other ERP systems before and would like to use the 'out of the box' functionality in SAP as much as possible. I need to get to grips with the configuration possibilities for use in the PM module and specifically for service orders, contract maintenance (external custoemr functional locations etc).
Will get back later today..
//Rory
Edit:
A silly question perhaps, but is this the same tool as found here?

What kind of financial periods exist in SAP? What is the relevant table for

What kind of financial periods exist in SAP? What is the relevant table for that?

Hi venumadhav
                In FInancial Accounting , Period is during time that you post G/L account and you have to close period after end of period and you will see the balance each G/L Account in each period.
                 There are 12 normal period and 4 special period (normal case , but can be changed by configuration ). normal period are Jan , Feb ,...Dec and Special period are the extended period that use for posting in special case .For example if you close period in Dec and you have to adjust G/L Account by auditor checking , you can post G/L Account to special period . special period are 13,14,15,16. 12 may use for Audit , 13 may use for changing after Sending to audit and found something mistake . that 's sample.
              normally there is posting date to control the period (BUDAT) in the table BSIS. if the posting date is in the during time of period , we can say this posting is in that period .
posting date : 03.09.2007            period : 09
posting date : 30.11.2007            period : 11

Learning SAP Basis , What Software Do I need ?

I am looking at tapping into SAP and want to start out learning to be a SAP Administrator.
In order to learn SAP Basis what actual software do I need to download, where to download it ?
If I could setup and configure the server side it could lay down a foundation to learn some more of the modules.
Regards
-Frank

Hi,
Through the website of SDN forum, you can download the trial version from this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
Its is a very good place to start, but I dont think, SAP is kind of Software you can learn by ursefl and master it, you need a proffessional training.
Even installation requires more shopsticated knowledge about SAP, like installing the instances in sequence like (Database software(with out inbuit DB), Central Instance, Dialog Instance and so on).
If you are very serious about making a plunge into the world of SAP then training is a must.
All the best & welcome to world of SAP

SAP MRS product features and modules integrated

Hi
Looking for SAP MRS product details with modules integrated
Regards,
Parameshwar

Yes i possibly feel there are some more services which are not activated in the system.
Try using Transaction NWBC in SAPGUI & then follow the various Applications to to reach to appointment booking.
Once NWBC opens follow the service advisors cockpit. /DBM/SERVICE_ADVISOR.
Step by step it will first ask you to search vehicle / customer & then once vehicle is searched you can continue to proceed to appointment application to book an appointment
Ensure the master data is set up for the vehicle & customer to be able to search in the service advisors cockpit
Ensure you have all the roles of the assigned to your user id these application appear in the your users menus.

SAP MRS - Business Partners Error

Working with MRS 700 (0005) in an ECC EhP5 system.
Our client wants to explore the use of Business Partners, so as to avoid the conifguration and support of Infotype 0007 on the HR mini-master (among other reasons).
I made what I think are the appropriate MRS configuration changes - and I am able to see the resource planning node and associated business parterns within the planning board. I can also make an assignment of a demand to an individual business partner. However, when I try to save the planning board, I get the following error message: "Business partner ## does not exist" where ## is actually the personnel number. On the BP record, I did specify the personnel number.
Any ideas as to why I would be getting this error message?
To summarize master data set-up:
- HR mini-master created wtih infotypes 0000 (Organizational Assignment), 0001 (Personal Data), 0105 (Communication) and 0185 (Personal IDs)
- Business partner created with Employee role - and Personnel number added to the Identification tab
- Created new org unit and position in HR organization structure - and added business partner to the position
- Create new work center - and linked to HR org unit
Thank you in advance for any advice.

You could try installing it in the local package ($tmp) itself.

SAP TAO,What is the purpose of Development,Quality,Production environment?

Hi All,
What is the significance of Development,Quality,Production environment under license tab of configuration in SAP TAO.
Which environment has to be selected for better operatability of SAP TAO functions.
Thanks and Regards,
Ujwal Kandimalla

Hi,
As TAO deals with the testing aspect, a 3 system landscape is recommended:
DEV : For unit testing
QA: For system testing and integrated testing
PRD: Has to be available for production usage
You could also have a Pre-Prod for load and UAT.

Using CR and Xcelsius with SAP BW - what is the minimal installation?

Hi,
If this question is allready asked and answered several times i appologize.. but I'm having a hard time finding the correct information.
Our situation is that we run an SAP ERP and SAP BW solution with a federated SAP Enterprise Portal on top. The users require more graphical solutions for both static reporting and dynamic dashboards. So we want to use Crystal Reports and Xcelsius to provide frontend interface, but we want to do as little as possible backend, i.e avoid installing a full BO server with roles etc.
I appriciate that we need SAP NW EhP 1 SPS 5 to load data directly into Xcelsius and the BO integration kit transports have to be loaded into the BW system for full CR connectivity.
The problem that I'm having a hard time finding anwsers to is if this setup is capable of storing and and distributing the CR reports and dashboards to endusers? Can CR reports be stored on the BW server? Or can the CR reports and the dashboards be stored in the KW part of the portal?
Another partly related question, what desktop tool does the enduser need to run CR reports that updates with data from the BW server?
Alot of customers will have an SAP environment without any BO server/tools. Naturally we want to change as little as possible. A guide to what is needed for each BO BI tool to be implemented on SAP BW would be appriciated.

Hi
for the CR reports you need a BO Enterprise (or BO Edge) installation. The access to the BOBJ server is done transparently for your SAP BW users (they are able to start their reports in SAP GUI) but the reports are not stored on the SAP system rather in the BO repository.

Stratos
