SAP SRM module time line estimate

I need a very rough first take on requirements, design, build, test, implement, and train for implementing SAP SRM. This module is new to use, but we have been using SAP for many years. Assuming it's all the functionality, would 3 full time FTEs for 6 months for requirements, 6 FTEs for 9 months for design, build, and test, and 3 FTES for 3 months for training be too much or too little. I realizes there are many variables. The number of users would probably be in the 1K range.
Just asking for past experiences for people who have done this before. thanks.

Hi
From my past SRM implementation experience the no. looks promising.
with regards
Manjunath

  • BAPI's in SAP SRM Module

    Hi SAP Gurus,
         Please provide me the list of BAPI's with its descriptions for SAP SRM module.
    regards,
    George.

    Hi,
    Which BAPIs are you looking for ? What's your detailed requirement ?
    Using SE37 Transaction, you cand find the BAPI Function modules.
    Search using BAPI* or META* to get all the existing SRM BAPIs.
    Meta function are generic call to external system. Depending on system kind and release, the function to call is different. The bapi that the Meta will effectly call in a backend is defined in table bbp_function_map.

  • SAP BW - learning path and Estimated time line.

    Hi,
    I am working with Business Objects for few years. I am interested in learn SAP BW and start my career in SAP BW with Business Objects. I would appreciate if you could please let me know the learning path and approximate time line.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike:
    I see your concern.
    BO is primarily a front end tool and it is simple to learn. So new developers can pick it up easily and start delivering business needs quickly.
    In fact I believe front end tools these days are so user friendly that even Business Users can learn fast and adapt and get really good at it.
    I think learning and understanding the back end data warehousing tools with specialized skills in Data Modeling and ETL will be extra added value to employers in today's market. Plus Interpersonal skills and interfacing with business users is not a function that can be easily outsourced.
    If you already have expertise in Bus Intelligence, I would recommend staying in BI and learning the back end tools. Learning Other SAP modules should supplement your BI skills and not to replace your BI focus.
    BI as an Industry is still evolving and growing. Plenty of room to grow. BI can deliver business critical decision support.
    Knowledge of Business Intelligence functions (Functional knowledge) will come in especially handy for employers when designing back end (data modeling) and suggesting the right course of action for designing back end. Your existing front end knowledge will be a great help for data modeling recommendations.
    I am actually pursuing a second MS in ERP at http://dce.mst.edu/. I take classes on line since i live 100 miles from the university. I sometimes am busy at work and cannot attend live classes. So i listen to the recordings after work hours and do my assignments and tests and exams after hours as well.
    The best thing about being in school, is i switch to learning mode and set aside my past experience and become a student willing to learn from the professor and the other students.

    I personally see a need in the Industry for highly engineered BI Solutions. Quiet a few SAP Clients today have experienced not so well engineered BI solutions from less skilled BI resources leading to poor performance and poor user adoption.
    Thats why i feel there is a great need for qualified BI resources to deliver optimal BI solutions and drive greater user adoption. The more users adopting SAP BI and BOBJ, the better opportunities for all of us.
    Concerning your comment about ABAP - I know minimal ABAP learned on the job as a BW developer / analyst. I tend to find solutions through data modeling as opposed to using ABAP. SAP BW has standardized many many common reporting functions and on occasions i write some ABAP lookups. But during the initial stages of my career as a BW Analyst i used to have the ABAP team write any code i needed.
    I even developed an ABAP report in ECC by providing the ABAP team with a detailed flow diagram of the logic. But lately i have learned to write some ABAP code myself. 
    Good Luck.

  • SAP SRM Prod with Oracle DB and AIX 5.3 Performance Issue.

    Hi Basis Gurus,
    Today my SAP PRD system all of a sudden was running slow and users had difficulties executing TCodes as it took minutes before the screen appeared.My system is SAP SRM 4.00, Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 and AIX 5.3.
    From Basis point of view , we noticed that all the work process were hanged due to RFCs' occupying it.Couldnt investigate further on the system as we needed to restart asap because users needed to log on. A quick check on SICK shows no errors.What we managed to find out is that we needed to check this parameter below and set it accordingly:-
    rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp:-
    Definition
    Number of work processes kept free for other users.
    Use
    This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for dialog mode. It prevents parallel RFCs from occupying all the processes.
    The parameter rdisp/wp_no_dia specifies the absolute number of dialog work processes.                               
    Unit: number of dialog work processes
    Default value: 1
    Example
    If 10 dialog work processes are configured for the instance (rdisp/wp_no_dia = 10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp  = 3 is set, parallel RFCs can occupy a maximun of 7 dialog work processes. Three dialog work processes always remain free for dialog mode.
    There are 20 DIA processes in our system, perhaps reserving a minimum of about 5 work processes for DIA users will be useful via the parameter.
    So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
    When we went for a restart of the system we encountered another issue. Steps to the issue are as below:-
    1) Did a proper shutdown of Oracle and SAP.
    2) When we start using startsap script, it doesn't start DB so we started DB manually but listener was having problem
        so we stopped all.
    3) We also did a cleanipc, it too throws below error:-
    sidadm> cleanipc <systemno> remove
                   exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program cleanipc because of the following errors:
                   0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for cleanipc because:
                   0509-136   Symbol memmove (number 106) is not exported from
                   dependent module /usr/sap/sid/SYS/exe/run/libsapu16.so.
                   0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
                   'dump -Tv' command.
    4) Also the Listener file has no contents,it's null file.
    5) This is another error :-
        exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /oracle/sid/112_64/bin/tnslsnr because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /oracle/sid/112_64/lib/libttsh11.so could not be loaded.
        0509-101   The module has too many section headers
        or the file is damaged
    The libttsh11.so file was empty dated 25th timestamp as below in PRD:-
    -rw-rr    1 sid   dba               0 Nov 25 07:12 libttsh11.so
    Further checking has let me to understand this is an Oracle Bug from this link:-
    http://gavinsoorma.com/2009/12/11-1-0-6-clusterware-upgrade-to-11-1-0-7/
    This Oracle bug only happens in an Upgrade time and how could this happen to my Production system during a restart process.
    Also this system was restarted during the last weekend's maintainance window and it came up with no issues.
    6) We copied over the libttsh11.so from our QA environment to PRD and did a Startup:-
    -rwxr-x---    1 sid   dba        65967496 Nov 25 07:40 libttsh11.so (This is the copied over file from QA)
    7) After Startup everything has been in order till now.
    My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before. Hope all the Gurus here could shed some light into my 2 questions as I am looking for positive answers.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    John

    Hi,
    Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version  for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
    Question 1:
    So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
    For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
    Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
    Question 2:
    My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
    The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
    Cause
    The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
    Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
    Solution
    Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

  • SAP SRM UI (NXP) - Work Processes remain running

    Background:
    Shopping carts are being processed through the new SAP SRM UI (NXP). On occasion, dialog Work Processes are left in 'running' status even when there is nothing happening in the front end.
    It occurs for many standard programs, but when checking the WP details, all are pointing to the same class
    /IWFND/CL_MGW_RUNT_RCLNT_PRXY and function module /IWBEP/FM_MGW_CHANGESET.
    The /IWFND/*_LOG transactions aren't showing any errors or warning
    I haven't found any relevant SAP notes.

    and some other bits and pieces (including SAP UI% and associated components)
    QUESTION:
    At the moment, I'm interested in a BASIS perspective; I want to ensure the platform (SRM_SERVER, GW_CORE, UI5, SRMNXP01, etc) is stable and functional. However, I'm not familiar with debugging / tuning / administrating the SAP Gateway (I still think SMG when I hear Gateway), so these may have fairly obvious answers to the right people, but ...
    1) What or where should I be looking for further clues ? My first thoughts are around the available network connections.
    2) Is there a transaction that provides real time monitoring of GW CORE ? I've found that the /IWBEP/VIEW_LOG and /IWFND/*_LOG transactions are only useful after the fact.
    thanks

    Hello Martin,
    such hanging work processes can have many causes. Which AIX version do you have? Please take a look at the note

  • Establishing a connection between SAP SRM and MM

    Dear All,
    I am working  for a multi-national company  and now we are thinking to implement SAP SRM  but I have some questions about  communication between SAP MM and SRM. Firstly I want  so share with you our as-is status and then my doubts and question that I have.
    In our case we have two different locationed organizations which are using different version of SAP system and SAP MM. In this  two sap system mostly codes are  and descriptions are different for  all materials and  now we want  gather all data and we want to have  one global code system and (local code also will remain). I mean we want  to call same materials with one global unique code instead of two different codes. We  are thinking to implement  something like coding center that will take local master data from local organization then will assign global code, update table then  with somehow will update SAP SRM.
    For example:
    We have local  master data on R/3 is maintained manually by local user and net item is created locally each country by local user.Coding center will be aware of new creation by mail, automatically. Coding center will update table (adding a new row for each new item) on translator (tool for assigning global code for materials) assign to each new item a global code and category and in this way SRM will be updated automatically based on translator.
    I am thinking to develeop a tool (excel,access… etc.) that will take new item creation manually or auto from local organization  then will assign a global code and category then will update SAP SRM automatically
    Regarding to  tool I have some questions:
    1)     which are the standard communication channel between R/3 and SRM or How  they can speak with each other ?
    2)     Is there any standart batch file (BI or BAPI)  to be able to perform this.Is it possible to develop tool using excel or access …etc. which will manage coding task.
    3)     When we are trasferring for the first time Master Data from MM to SRM is there any standard transaction?
    4)     how the two MD are aligned (i.e. what if a new item is created or modified on MM)?
    5)     standard program (transaction) for aligning  available ?
    6)     ) how this process can be triggered (scheduled using SAP scheduler, event or user driven)
    7)     Where the translator  (tool) should be (R/3 local, SRM, BW, other) --> Enrichment table
    8)     How we can build the communication transaction?
    Thank you very much
    Any comments and answers will appreciated and rewarded
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Have you considered using CCM. You generally use an industry standard code (perhaps UNSPSC) in CCM as your vendors would all have different number (similar to your scenario). CCM is a plug-in to SRM, supplied by SAP.
    The authoring tool is where you can enrich your catalogue, and have approval dependant on rules that you setup. In your case you would possibly have a catalogue per locationed organisation (or R/3 system). These would then be mapped to a master catalogue, and assigned to users as views. This tool is a BSP on SRM. You could also upload these catalogues from Excel (as a CSV) or through XI as XML. We use the automatic transfer of materials from R3 and then there is a report in SRM to feed that through to the catalogue.
    The only thing that needs to be thought through is how you feed the selected catalogue item back to the differing R3 systems, but this shouldn't be a stumbling point.
    Cheers

  • For Professional level certification aspirants in SAP Controlling module

    Dear all Professional level Certification aspirants in SAP CO module,
    I have recently passed the Certification test on SAP Management Accounting (CO) module in version ERP 6.0 EHP4.  I have more than 4 years experience in SAP Controlling module.The following are some of my suggestions regarding preparation for the exam.
    1. All the questions were scenario based. The exam tests expert level knowledge and real time scenarios in the module. The theoritical knowledge is not sufficient to clear the exam. Unless you have atleast 5 to 6 implementations in Controlling module, it is not advisable to give it a try.
    2. Detailed knowledge of the system configuration settings about the various courses mentioned in the syllabus is required. One needs a clear understanding of Special costing functions, ERP integration, Transfer Pricing, Material ledger, New GL Parallel valuation, Planning and Budgeting fuctions in various components etc.
    3. The exam tests in-depth knowledge about various integration aspects of Controlling module with other modules. The advanced master data functionalities of other logistical modules like MM, SD, PP, PM, QM, PS, CS, HCM is tested in detail.
    4. Several methods of process and performance optimization of the system are also tested.
    3. Some reporting aspects of BW and BI are also tested. The cross application aspects of the system are also tested.
    4. The exam also tests the real time skills in preparing Blueprints, Business Process design and trouble shooting the system. Being knowledgeable about some of the processing errors and message classes will be of great help.
    Hope this information helps you in preparing for the certification.
    Should you need any clarifications, please post a reply to this thread and I will post answers.
    All the Best!!
    VS.

    Hi Vikrant,
    the pass mark for the exam is 58%. However it may be different. The passing mark shown on your screen on the day will be the correct passing mark.
    All the questions were scenario based which would involve high analytical skills and through understanding of the system integration. It would be difficult to tell any specific question. The questions carry different weightage. If you answer the questions with less weightage correctly than the questions with more weightage, you end up scoring less though you answer more number of questions correctly. and it is vice versa. Go through your syllabus and cources and try to concentrate on the topic areas which contain more weightage.
    Moreover, the exam is not completely technical in nature. It tests a lot of analytical and problem solving skills required on the job.
    Note:Please do not ask the questions or contents of the exam as they are confidential.
    Hope this information helps you.
    All the best for your exam!
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

  • To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

    Hi,
    I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
    I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
    I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
    I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
    Do share your view.

    Hi.
    As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
    Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
    If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
    Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????

  • SAP HR MODULES

    hi
    what are the SAP HR Modules that I can specialize in as a SAP HR Support consultant?

    Hi Vee Nel,
    If you are working in a support project you can get expertise on the modules that are been used in that specific project.It all depends on the project which you are working or going to work.
    In support projects you can expect lot of work if the project is not stabilised , and on the other hand you may not have hands on enough work if the project is stabilised.
    Comming to Modules in HCM, as I  said earlier each client will have different modules and based on country specific too. If you are suppporting US clients then you will get a chance to work on OM PA TIme, Payroll ( some time upto gross calculations, and some times till net calculation) Travell, and Benefits. Compensation management, LSO, PD , TE will be used by some clients. Same with Indian and UK Clients too. It all depends on client and project which we are working on.
    All the best.

    HR is not difficult and use a lot of custom development. Easy start
    SRM: no idea
    BI: since you have nothing to start with, I would no go for this one. Start somewhere else and try to concentrate on that field together with BI. That could help you start with BI later.
