SAP UK Student opportunities

Hi!
I would like to know whether SAP is currently running any projects for UK undergraduates in business studies? I cannot find any information about current projects and my university itself does not have a subscription to the student academy so that I cannot get access to sufficient material for learning a more about SAP.
I am looking forward to hear from you!
Jasmin

Hey there , welcome to the community!
Do you currently have an active premium subscription? If you do, you need to cancel it here and wait for your account to revert back to 'Spotify Free' before applying the discount. Sorry for the mix-up!
If you need any further help, let me know! :)

Who wants to help 100 students create something amazing at CeBIT?

Dear SAP Mentors.
This year at CeBIT, Ann Rosenberg and SAP University Alliances want to showcase their commitment to transform the perception of SAP towards students and are organizing an InnoJam for university students.
The event will be held in parallel to CeBIT on March 6/7 in a media school close to the exhibition grounds, with the winner(s) presenting their results on the big stage in the SAP area at CeBIT.
We will use Design Thinking, just like we did for the pre-TechEd InnoJams.
Students will come from universities in the DACH region, plus Poland (CeBIT focus country 2013) and Russia.
The theme is addressing the CeBIT theme of "shareconomy" and the SAP CeBIT theme "true dreams". We are thinking along the lines of "fair and sustainable solutions for a better future in our connected digital society of the 21st century". We got in contact with Betterplace (http://www.betterplace.org) and concrete topics are likely going to focus on social responsibility, the work of NGOs, etc.
More infos here: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/events/SAP+InnoJam+at+CeBit+2013
In order to give students an exceptional experience, we are looking for as much expert support as possible. These students are most likely unfamiliar with SAP technologies. DT coaches are also needed (Hester Hilbrecht from TIP DevEx is coordinating that). In general, I think that having people there mentoring these young minds during the event would be a great addition to the event. If you are interested to contribute to that experience or if you are travelling to CeBIT anyways, we would be delighted to add you to our list of attendees.
Contact me on SCN or via email: [email protected]
I hope I can count on you!
Kind Regards,

SAP BI issues.

Hi Experts,
I am a novice candidate pursuing for SAP BW/BI opportunities and appearing for different interviews in SAP BW/BI. Following are some of the questions that I was fired by the interviewers. I appreciate your time and consideration for answering my queries.
1)How do you initialize the setup tables for filling the data of just past three years ?
And after full load from set up tables and executing the delta, later there is a requirement of adding more application tables in the datasource of LO cockpit.How should we go about without getting duplicate records in the source system and retaining the original delta
2) what are the general different transformations issues and methods to solve it?
3) How to handle DTP issues like if number of records were 1000 in DSO object and the Infocube received just 900, bad characters problem,etc
4) RDA background process flow?
5) How to have plan/actual comparisons?lets say Profitability analysis.
   Plan infocubes contains which data with respect to actual infocube? Can you explain with example?
6) In business content activation,how to exclude the objects that have been already activated.
7)Does change run affect all aggregates or only aggregates containing that master data which is undergoing change run is affected?
8) Can somebody send me sample Functional requirements design documents/blueprints/detal design docs.
9) what are functional support issues in SAP BI implementations?
10) The fastest and best method to improve query performance?
    If I am right, is it Cache settings?
11) I am also preparing for certification exam BI 7.0 which is on march 7th? I need some sample questions.
12) Need more information to prepare for SAP BI functional analyst and developer interviews.
Thanks
Mujtaba.
Lot of points will be given for urgent replies.

Hi Jacky
6) In business content activation,how to exclude the objects that have been already activated.
     Just you have to select the particular object ,context menu ,select Donot install below.
12) Need more information to prepare for SAP BI functional analyst and developer interviews.
Normally the production support activities include
Scheduling
R/3 Job Monitoring
B/W Job Monitoring
Taking corrective action for failed data loads.
Working on some tickets with small changes in reports or in AWB objects.
The activities in a typical Production Support would be as follows:
1. Data Loading - could be using process chains or manual loads.
2. Resolving urgent user issues - helpline activities
3. Modifying BW reports as per the need of the user.
4. Creating aggregates in Prod system
5. Regression testing when version/patch upgrade is done.
6. Creating adhoc hierarchies.
we can perform the daily activities in Production
1. Monitoring Data load failures thru RSMO
2. Monitoring Process Chains Daily/weekly/monthly
3. Perform Change run Hierarchy
4. Check Aggr's Rollup
To add to the above
1)check data targets are ready for reporting,
2) No failed or cancelled jobs in sm37 monitors and Bw Monitor.
3) All requests are loaded for day, monthly and yearly also.
4) Also to note down time taken for loading of critical info cubes which are used for reporting.
5) Is there any break in any schedules from your process chains.
As the frequent failures and errors , there is no fixed reason for the load to be fail , if you want it for the interview perspective I would answer it in this way.
a) Loads can be failed due to the invalid characters
b) Can be because of the deadlock in the system
c) Can be because of previous load failure , if the load is dependant on other loads
d) Can be because of erroneous records
e) Can be because of RFC connections
These are some of the reasons for the load failures.
Why there is frequent load failures during extractions? and how to analyse them?
If these failures are related to Data, there might be data inconsistency in source system. Though we are handling properly in transfer rules. We can monitor these issues in T-code -> RSMO and PSA (failed records) and update.
If we are talking about whole extraction process, there might be issues of work process scheduling and IDoc transfer to target system from source system. These issues can be re-initiated by canceling that specific data load and ( usually by changing Request color from Yellow - > Red in RSMO). and restart the extraction.
What is the daily task we do in production support.How many times we will extract the data at what times.
It depends... Data load timings are in the range of 30 mins to 8 hrs. This time is depends in number of records and kind of transfer rules you have provided. If transfer rules have some kind of round about transfer rules and updates rules has calculations for customized key figures... long times are expected..
Usually You need to work on RSMO and see what records are failing.. and update from PSA.
What are some of the frequent failures and errors?
As the frequent failures and errors , there is no fixed reason for the load to be fail , if you want it for the interview perspective I would answer it in this way.
a) Loads can be failed due to the invalid characters
b) Can be because of the deadlock in the system
c) Can be because of previous load failure , if the load is dependant on other loads
d) Can be because of erroneous records
e) Can be because of RFC connections
These are some of the reasons for the load failures.
for Rfc connections:
We use SM59 for creating RFC destinations
Some questions
1)     RFC connection lost.
A) We can check out in the SM59 t-code
RFC Des
+ R/3 conn
CRD client (our r/3 client)
double click..test connection in menu
2) Invalid characters while loading.
A) Change them in the PSA & load them.
3) ALEREMOTE user is locked.
A) Ask your Basis team to release the user. It is mostly ALEREMOTE.
2) Password Changed
3) Number of incorrect attempts to login into ALEREMOTE.
4) USE SM12 t-code to find out are there any locks.
4) Lower case letters not allowed.
A) Uncheck the lower case letters check box under "general" tab in the info object.
5) While loading the data i am getting messeage that 'Record
the field mentioned in the errror message is not mapped to any infoboject in the transfer rule.
6) object locked.
A) It might be locked by some other process or a user. Also check for authorizations
7) "Non-updated Idocs found in Source System".
8) While loading master data, one of the datapackage has a red light error message:
Master data/text of characteristic ZCUSTSAL already deleted .
9) extraction job aborted in r3
A) It might have got cancelled due to running for more than the expected time, or may be cancelled by R/3 users if it is hampering the performance.
10) request couldnt be activated because there is another request in the psa with a smaller sid
A)
11) repeat of last delta not possible
12) datasource not replicated
A) Replicate the datasource from R/3 through source system in the AWB & assign it to the infosource and activate it again.
13) datasource/transfer structure not active.
A) Use the function module RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL to activate it
14) ODS activation error.
A) ODS activation errors can occur mainly due to following reasons-
1.Invalid characters (# like characters)
2.Invalid data values for units/currencies etc
3.Invalid values for data types of char & key figures.
4.Error in generating SID values for some data.
15. conversio routine error
solution.check the data format in source
16.OBJECT CANOOT BE ACTIVATED.or error when activating object
check the consistency of the object.
17.no data found.(in query)
check the info provider wether data is there or not and delete unsucessful request.
18.error generating or activating update rules.
1. What are the extractor types?
Application Specific
o BW Content FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, LO Cockpit
o Customer-Generated Extractors
LIS, FI-SL, CO-PA
Cross Application (Generic Extractors)
o DB View, InfoSet, Function Module
2. What are the steps involved in LO Extraction?
The steps are:
o RSA5 Select the DataSources
o LBWE Maintain DataSources and Activate Extract Structures
o LBWG Delete Setup Tables
o 0LI*BW Setup tables
o RSA3 Check extraction and the data in Setup tables
o LBWQ Check the extraction queue
o LBWF Log for LO Extract Structures
o RSA7 BW Delta Queue Monitor
3. How to create a connection with LIS InfoStructures?
LBW0 Connecting LIS InfoStructures to BW
4. What is the difference between ODS and InfoCube and MultiProvider?
ODS: Provides granular data, allows overwrite and data is in transparent tables, ideal for drilldown and RRI.
CUBE: Follows the star schema, we can only append data, ideal for primary reporting.
MultiProvider: Does not have physical data. It allows to access data from different InfoProviders (Cube, ODS, InfoObject). It is also preferred for reporting.
5. What are Start routines, Transfer routines and Update routines?
Start Routines: The start routine is run for each DataPackage after the data has been written to the PSA and before the transfer rules have been executed. It allows complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. It has no return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store them in global DataStructures. This structure or table can be accessed in the other routines. The entire DataPackage in the transfer structure format is used as a parameter for the routine.
Transfer / Update Routines: They are defined at the InfoObject level. It is like the Start Routine. It is independent of the DataSource. We can use this to define Global Data and Global Checks.
6. What is the difference between start routine and update routine, when, how and why are they called?
Start routine can be used to access InfoPackage while update routines are used while updating the Data Targets.
7. What is the table that is used in start routines?
Always the table structure will be the structure of an ODS or InfoCube. For example if it is an ODS then active table structure will be the table.
8. Explain how you used Start routines in your project?
Start routines are used for mass processing of records. In start routine all the records of DataPackage is available for processing. So we can process all these records together in start routine. In one of scenario, we wanted to apply size % to the forecast data. For example if material M1 is forecasted to say 100 in May. Then after applying size %(Small 20%, Medium 40%, Large 20%, Extra Large 20%), we wanted to have 4 records against one single record that is coming in the info package. This is achieved in start routine.
9. What are Return Tables?
When we want to return multiple records, instead of single value, we use the return table in the Update Routine. Example: If we have total telephone expense for a Cost Center, using a return table we can get expense per employee.
10. How do start routine and return table synchronize with each other?
Return table is used to return the Value following the execution of start routine
11. What is the difference between V1, V2 and V3 updates?
V1 Update: It is a Synchronous update. Here the Statistics update is carried out at the same time as the document update (in the application tables).
V2 Update: It is an Asynchronous update. Statistics update and the Document update take place as different tasks.
o V1 & V2 dont need scheduling.
Serialized V3 Update: The V3 collective update must be scheduled as a job (via LBWE). Here, document data is collected in the order it was created and transferred into the BW as a batch job. The transfer sequence may not be the same as the order in which the data was created in all scenarios. V3 update only processes the update data that is successfully processed with the V2 update.
12. What is compression?
It is a process used to delete the Request IDs and this saves space.
13. What is Rollup?
This is used to load new DataPackages (requests) into the InfoCube aggregates. If we have not performed a rollup then the new InfoCube data will not be available while reporting on the aggregate.
14. What is table partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube?
It is the method of dividing a table which would enable a quick reference. SAP uses fact file partitioning to improve performance. We can partition only at 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER. Table partitioning helps to run the report faster as data is stored in the relevant partitions. Also table maintenance becomes easier. Oracle, Informix, IBM DB2/390 supports table partitioning while SAP DB, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2/400 do not support table portioning.
15. How many extra partitions are created and why?
Two partitions are created for date before the begin date and after the end date.
16. What are the options available in transfer rule?
InfoObject
Constant
Routine
Formula
17. How would you optimize the dimensions?
We should define as many dimensions as possible and we have to take care that no single dimension crosses more than 20% of the fact table size.
18. What are Conversion Routines for units and currencies in the update rule?
Using this option we can write ABAP code for Units / Currencies conversion. If we enable this flag then unit of Key Figure appears in the ABAP code as an additional parameter. For example, we can convert units in Pounds to Kilos.
19. Can an InfoObject be an InfoProvider, how and why?
Yes, when we want to report on Characteristics or Master Data. We have to right click on the InfoArea and select Insert characteristic as data target. For example, we can make 0CUSTOMER as an InfoProvider and report on it.
20. What is Open Hub Service?
The Open Hub Service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external Data Marts, analytical applications, and other applications. We can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for exporting data is the InfoSpoke. We can define the source and the target object for the data. BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
21. How do you transform Open Hub Data?
Using BADI we can transform Open Hub Data according to the destination requirement.
22. What is ODS?
Operational DataSource is used for detailed storage of data. We can overwrite data in the ODS. The data is stored in transparent tables.
23. What are BW Statistics and what is its use?
They are group of Business Content InfoCubes which are used to measure performance for Query and Load Monitoring. It also shows the usage of aggregates, OLAP and Warehouse management.
24. What are the steps to extract data from R/3?
Replicate DataSources
Assign InfoSources
Maintain Communication Structure and Transfer rules
Create and InfoPackage
Load Data
25. What are the delta options available when you load from flat file?
The 3 options for Delta Management with Flat Files:
o Full Upload
o New Status for Changed records (ODS Object only)
o Additive Delta (ODS Object & InfoCube)
SAP BW Interview Questions 2
1) What is process chain? How many types are there? How many we use in real time scenario? Can we define interdependent processes with tasks like data loading, cube compression, index maintenance, master data & ods activation in the best possible performance & data integrity.
2) What is data integrityand how can we achieve this?
3) What is index maintenance and what is the purpose to use this in real time?
4) When and why use infocube compression in real time?
5) What is mean by data modelling and what will the consultant do in data modelling?
6) How can enhance business content and what for purpose we enhance business content (becausing we can activate business content)
7) What is fine-tuning and how many types are there and what for purpose we done tuning in real time. tuning can only be done for infocube partitions and creating aggregates or any other?
8) What is mean by multiprovider and what purpose we use multiprovider?
9) What is scheduled and monitored data loads and for what purpose?
Ans # 1:
Process chains exists in Admin Work Bench. Using these we can automate ETTL processes. These allows BW guys to schedule all activities and monitor (T Code: RSPC).
PROCESS CHAIN - Before defining PROCESS CHAIN, let us define PROCESS in any given process chain. Is a procedure either with in the SAP or external to it with a start and end. This process runs in the background.
PROCESS CHAIN is set of such processes that are linked together in a chain. In other words each process is dependent on the previous process and dependencies are clearly defined in the process chain.
This is normally done in order to automate a job or task that has to execute more than one process in order to complete the job or task.
1. Check the Source System for that particular PC.
2. Select the request ID (it will be in Header Tab) of PC
3. Go to SM37 of Source System.
4. Double Click on the Job.
5. You will navigate to a screen
6. In that Click "Job Details" button
7. A small Pop-up Window comes
8. In the Pop-up screen, take a note of
a) Executing Server
b) WP Number/PID
9. Open a new SM37 (/OSM37) command
10. In the Click on "Application Servers" button
11. You can see different Application Servers.
11. Goto Executing server, and Double Click (Point 8 (a))
12. Goto PID (Point 8 (b))
13. On the left most you can see a check box
14. "Check" the check Box
15. On the Menu Bar.. You can see "Process"
16. In the "process" you have the Option "Cancel with Core"
17. Click on that option. * --
Ans # 2:
Data Integrity is about eliminating duplicate entries in the database and achieve normalization.
Ans # 4:
InfoCube compression creates new cube by eliminating duplicates. Compressed infocubes require less storage space and are faster for retrieval of information. Here the catch is .. Once you compress, you can't alter the InfoCube. You are safe as long as you don't have any error in modeling.
This compression can be done through Process Chain and also manually.
Ans#3
Indexing is a process where the data is stored by indexing it. Eg: A phone book... When we write somebodys number we write it as Prasads number would be in "P" and Rajesh's number would be in "R"... The phone book process is indexing.. similarly the storing of data by creating indexes is called indexing.
Ans#5
Datamodeling is a process where you collect the facts..the attributes associated to facts.. navigation atributes etc.. and after you collect all these you need to decide which one you ill be using. This process of collection is done by interviewing the end users, the power users, the share holders etc.. it is generally done by the Team Lead, Project Manager or sometimes a Sr. Consultant (4-5 yrs of exp) So if you are new you dont have to worry about it....But do remember that it is a imp aspect of any datawarehousing soln.. so make sure that you have read datamodeling before attending any interview or even starting to work....
Ans#6
We can enhance the Business Content bby adding fields to it. Since BC is delivered by SAP Inc it may not contain all the infoobjects, infocubes etc that you want to use according to your company's data model... eg: you have a customer infocube(In BC) but your company uses a attribute for say..apt number... then instead of constructing the whole infocube you can add the above field to the existing BC infocube and get going...
Ans#7
Tuning is the most imp process in BW..Tuning is done the increase efficiency.... that means lowering time for loading data in cube.. lowering time for accessing a query.. lowering time for doing a drill down etc.. fine tuning=lowering time(for everything possible)...tuning can be done by many things not only by partitions and aggregates there are various things you can do... for eg: compression, etc..
Ans#8
Multiprovider can combine various infoproviders for reporting purposes.. like you can combine 4-5 infocubes or 2-3 infocubes and 2-3 ODS or IC, ODS and Master data.. etc.. you can refer to help.sap.com for more info...
Ans#9
Scheduled data load means you have scheduled the loading of data for some particular date and time you can do it in scheduler tab if infoobject... and monitored means you are monitoring that particular data load or some other loads by using transaction RSMON.
1.Procedure for repeat delta?
You need to make the request status to Red in monitor screen and then delete it from ODS/Cube. Then when you open infopackage again, system will prompt you for repeat delta.
also.....
Goto RSA7->F2->Update Mode--->Delta Repetation
Delta repeation is done based on type of upload you are carrying on.
1. if you are loading masterdata then most of the time you will change the QM status to red and then repeat the delta for the repeat of delta. the delta is allowed only if you make the changes.
and some times you need to do the RnD if the repeat of delta is not allowed even after the qm status id made to red. here you have to change the QM status to red.
If this is not the case, the source system and therefore also the extractor, have not yet received any information regarding the last delta and you must set the request to GREEN in the monitor using a QM action.
The system then requests a delta again since the last delta request has not yet occurred for the extractor.
Afterwards, you must reset the old request that you previously set to GREEN to RED since it was incorrect and it would otherwise be requested as a data target by an ODS.
Caution: If the termianted request was a REPEAT request itself, always set this to RED so that the system tries to carry out a repeat again.
To determine whether a delta or a repeat are to be requested, the system ONLY uses the status of the monitor.
It is irrelevant whether the request is updated in a data target somewhere.
When activating requests in an ODS, the system checks delta repeat requests for completeness and the correct sequence.
Each green delta/repeat request in the monitor that came from the same DataSource/source system combination must be updated in the ODS before activation, which means that in this case, you must set them back to RED in the monitor using a QM action when using the solution described above.
If the source of the data is a DataMart, it is not just the DELTARNR field that is relevant (in the roosprmsc table in the system in which the source DataMart is, which is usually your BW system since it is a Myself extraction in this case), rather the status of the request tabstrip control is relevant as well.
Therefore, after the last delta request has terminated, go to the administration of your data source and check whether the DataMart indicator is set for the request that you wanted to update last.
If this is NOT the case, you must NOT request a repeat since the system would also retransfer the data of the last delta but one.
This means, you must NOT start a delta InfoPackage which then would request a repeat because the monitor is still RED. For information about how to correct this problem, refer to the following section.
For more information about this, see also Note 873401.
Proceed as follows:
Delete the rest of this request from ALL updated data targets, set the terminated request to GREEN IN THE MONITOR and request a new DELTA.
Only if the DataMart indicator is set does the system carry out a repeat correctly and transfers only this data again.
This means, that only in this case can you leave the monitor status as it is and restart the delta InfoPackage. Then this creates a repeat request\
In addition, you can generally also reset the DATAMART indicator and then work using a delta request after you have set the incorrect request to GREEN in the monitor.
Simply start the delta InfoPackage after you have reset the DATAMART indicator AND after you have set the last request that was terminated to GREEN in the monitor.
After the delta request has been carried out successfully, remember to reset the old incorrect request to RED since otherwise the problems mentioned above will occur when you activate the data in a target ODS.
What is process chain and how you used it?
A) Process chains are tool available in BW for Automation of upload of master data and transaction data while taking care of dependency between each processes.
B) In one of our scenario we wanted to upload wholesale price infoobject which will have wholesale price for all the material. Then we wanted to load transaction data. While loading transaction data to populate wholesale price, there was a look up in the update rule on this InfoObject masterdata table. This dependency of first uploading masterdata and then uploading transaction data was done through the process chain.
What is process chain and how you used it?
A) We have used process chains to automate the delta loading process. Once you are finished with your design and testing you can automate the processes listed in RSPC. I have a real time example in the attachment.
1. What is process chain and how you used it?
Process chains are tool available in BW for Automation of upload of master data and transaction data while taking care of dependency between each processes.
2. What is transaction for creating Process Chains ?
RSPC .
3. Explain Colector Process ?
Collector processes are used to manage multiple predecessor
processes that feed into the same subsequent process. The collector
processes available for BW are:
AND :
All of the direct predecessor processes must raise an event in order for subsequent processes to be executed
OR :
A least one predecessor process must send an event The first predecessor process that sends an event triggers the subsequent process
Any additional predecessor processes that send an event will again trigger
subsequent process (Only if the chain is planned as periodic)
EXOR : Exclusive OR
Similar to regular OR, but there is only ONE execution of the successor
processes, even if several predecessor processes raise an event
4. What are application Process ?
Application processes represent BW activities that are typically
performed as part of BW operations.
Examples include:
Data load
Attribute/Hierarchy Change run
Aggregate rollup
Reporting Agent Settings
5. Tell some facts about process Chains
Process chains are transportable Button for writing to a change request when
maintaining a process chain in RSPC
Process chains available in the transport connection wizard (administrator workbench)
If a process dumps, it is treated in the same manner as a failed process
Graphical display of Process Chain Maintenance requires the 620 SAPGUI and SAP BW 3.0B Frontend GUI
A special control background job runs to facilitate the execution of the of the other batch jobs of the process chain
Note your BTC process distribution, and make sure that an extra BTC process is available so the supporting control job can run immediately
6. What happens when chain is activated ?
When a chain gets activated It will be copied into active version The processes will be planned in batch as program RSPROCESS with type and variant given as parameters with job name BI_PROCESS_<TYPE> waiting for event, except the trigger The trigger is planned as specified in its variant, if start via meta-chain it is not planned to batch
7. Steps in process chains ?
Go to transaction code-> RSPC
Follow the Basic Flow of Process chain..
1. Start chain
2. Delete BasicCube indexes
3. Load data from the source system into the PSA
4. Load data from the PSA into the ODS object
5. Activate data in the ODS object
6. Load data from the ODS object in the BasicCube
7. Create indexes after loading for the BasicCube

Sales Opportunities and Activities Import

We need to import the attached into SAP as Sales Opportunities and related Activities.
I believe the mappings are roughly as follows:
Opportunities
Source     Destination
SalesCode     OOPR.CardCode
Createdate     OOPR.StartDate
Description     OOPR.OpportunityName
Opportunity_Value     OPR1.MaxLocalTotal
Acct. Manager     OOPR.SalesPerson (id lookup)
Activities
Source     Destination
Contact Name     OCLG.ContactPer
SalesCode     OCLG.CardCode
Description     OCLG.CntctSbjct
Call Back Date     OCLG. CntctDate
What I canu2019t see is how to link the activity to an opportunity.
NB: Where there isnu2019t a contact name and call back date, there is no activity to be created.
Regards,

Hi Juan,
To link Sales Opportunities with Activities, you need to assign OCLG.parentType = 97 and OCLG.parentID=OOPR.OpprId

Reg-SAP PM

Dear All...
My self Nagendra..working as a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer in cement plant.I have 5 years of experience in maintenance side and i have also worked with SAP-PM module as an end user.Now I would like to focus on SAP-PM to choose my carrier in this sector.Can you please suggest me to how can I get into SAP and Is it really suitable for me??
Thanks....

Hi Negendra,
SAP Plant maintenance opportunities are less in market. So, you have to already worked on manufacturing industry, you can check SAP Production Planning too. Do some analysis, because choosing the right module will get SAP job soon. On the other side, SAP PM has less competition in market when you go for interview and you may get a job soon.
If you plan for certification in SAP authorized institute, they will try to convince you to take SAP MM or may SAP PP not in SAP PM. If you study SAP PP then after three years, you can learn SAP PM as well and this apply vice versa because both modules are tightly integrated.
Best of luck.

Confusion for switching my career from IT Infrastructure Management to SAP Basis or not?

Hi Guru's,
I am in IT Infrastructure Management and I have more than 10 years of working experience in multiple companies. I have completed MCA, BCA, CCNA and ITIL and in my last job I was Sr. Manager IT.
I started my career as a Customer Support Engineer in 2004 and then promoted as a Network Engineer and then Team Leader and then Project Manager and then Asst. Manager IT and finally Sr. Manager IT. I switched 6 companies (ISP,IT,Pharmaceutical, Education etc.). Unfortunately my field demands lot of hard-work and payed very little(I got only 5 lac pa) on the other hand I saw several people who moved in SAP they get higher salaries and growing rapidly.
I have good knowledge of system administration and network administration. In 2008 to 2011, I worked for a Pharma company(Production Plant) where I saw SAP implementation and was little involved in it. I was involved in client Installation, SAP Solution Manager roll-out etc. I saw SAP basis syllabus and I feel it is easy for me to learn the BASIS fast rather then other SAP modules.
Now my questions are:-
Is it worthwhile for me to switch my career in SAP Basis?
Will the recruiters consider me as a fresher or they consider my experience?
What is the future growth in SAP Basis with our without certification?
Which is the best institute to get the training and job placement?
Your suggestions are appreciable.
Yours faithfully,
Anand

GL account 14000 is not defined in Chart Of Account INT.

Dear SAP Experts
I am encounting this error message when trying to post an invoice in Accounts Receiavables. I am using IDES.
Although this error seems to be a common error for SAP FI students with suggested solutions from previous new SAP FI students who encounted the same problem , I am not going anyway with Debtors configuration, as for GL, Creditors and Assets everything is fine.
I googled the error, checked and confirmed the the following: The account 14000 do exit in INT COA tCode (F.10), INT is Co. Code COA and CONS is Group / Corportant COA and assigned tcode (OB62). Language for both COA is English tCode (OB13). GL a/c group is assigned tCode(OBD4)
I tried to create a new Customer GL Recon account both by w. template or without template but the system do not allow accept / save any other account than 14000, even trying to change this account through the change option, infact it will just default to 14000 , I did copy company codes 1000, ZA01 (south africa) and company codes trying to solve this setback but to no avail.
Another error which I did encounter is Entry XXXX does not exit in SKB1 during process of trying to solve this error and I did google again but unfortunate nothing was of help.
Its Account Receivable only other modules are okey.
May you please help me.
Thanks In Adance
J. Chadambuka

Dear Sir,
I did check tcode (FSP0), 14000 is assigned to COA INT, even 140000 is also assigned to INT and my company code which is 2011 is assigned to 14000 and 140000 (tcode FSS0).
I created another Customer and put 140000 as the Recon. Account, but unfortunately when saving it will default to 14000, these two GL accounts do exit in INT CoA.
The funny party of it is that I am managing to enter and post transactions in General ledger, Accounts Payables and Asset Accounting .
I am facing this problem in Accounts Receiables only other modules ( GL, AP, and AA) are fine.
Yours faithfully,
J Chadambuka

Need asnwers - interview questions

Hi Experts,
I am a novice candidate pursuing for SAP BW/BI opportunities and appearing for different interviews in SAP BW/BI. Following are some of the questions that I was fired by the interviewers. I appreciate your time and consideration for answering my queries.
1)How do you initialize the setup tables for filling the data of just past three years ?
And after full load from set up tables and executing the delta, later there is a requirement of adding more application tables in the datasource of LO cockpit.How should we go about without getting duplicate records in the source system and retaining the original delta
2) what are the general different transformations issues and methods to solve it?
3) How to handle DTP issues like if number of records were 1000 in DSO object and the Infocube received just 900, bad characters problem,etc
4) RDA background process flow?
5) How to have plan/actual comparisons?lets say Profitability analysis.
Plan infocubes contains which data with respect to actual infocube? Can you explain with example?
6) In business content activation,how to exclude the objects that have been already activated.
7)Does change run affect all aggregates or only aggregates containing that master data which is undergoing change run is affected?
8) Can somebody send me sample Functional requirements design documents/blueprints/detal design docs.
9) what are functional support issues in SAP BI implementations?
10) The fastest and best method to improve query performance?
If I am right, is it Cache settings?
11) I am also preparing for certification exam BI 7.0 which is on march 7th? I need some sample questions.
12) Need more information to prepare for SAP BI functional analyst and developer interviews.
Thanks
Mujtaba.
Lot of points will be given for urgent replies.

1)How do you initialize the setup tables for filling the data of just past three years ? And after intilization/full load from set up tables and performing the delta, later there is a requirement of adding more application tables in the datasource of LO cockpit.Here we still need delta load for the original records.
You can give the date for the past 3 yrs and fill the setup table.
2) what are the general different transformations issues and methods to solve it?
Short dump while creating transformation
Inactive transformations
Error while copying transformations
Automatic transformation not possible etc
3) How to handle DTP issues like if number of records were 1000 in DSO object and the Infocube received just 900, bad characters problem,etc
You can do it with error handling.( Error DTP, you can maintain in Error DTP and schedule the load from Error DTP to Target).
You can do
4) RDA background process flow?
The RDA concept has been implemented in BI 7 . This is to get the real time data from the source system for a regular interval of one min or more than that .

/people/kamaljeet.kharbanda/blog/2006/11/13/real-time-data-acquisition-bi2004s
5) How to have plan/actual comparisons?lets say Profitability analysis.
Plan infocubes contains which data with respect to actual infocube? Can you explain with example?
Actual data is loaded from R3 or any other source, Planned data is loaded from APo or entered manually...
U can switch between actual and planned mode and load data from source or enter the data in planned mode..
Example
Stock/sales can be predicted and entered in plan mode vs actual mode
6) In business content activation,how to exclude the objects that have been already activated.
Chk compare/copy check box...
7)Does change run affect all aggregates or only aggregates containing that master data which is undergoing change run is affected?
It will hit the aggregates for which master data changes has happened
8) Can somebody send me sample Functional requirements design documents/blueprints/detal design docs.

10) The fastest and best method to improve query performance?
Is I am right is it Cache settings?
Aggregates
Avoid nav attributes
Dont fetch line item dimensions unless needed
Avoid too many chars in the row
Avoid using RKF and CKF as it fetch data from database
Query Read mode(adjust with A, X and H)

SAP- SD Consultant Job Opportunities

Dear Experts,
Myself Daniel. I have done BE (e & c) and also MBA ( marketing & systems). Currently, I am having 2 years experience in Sales Industry ( FMCG ). Thats one of the best FMCG Companies in the World. Now 2 years of Domain experience is not much i know, but, i believe i have have acquired a thorough knowledge in Sales. Now, i want to move on to SAP. My seniors are telling me to go for SD Module. I am thinking of admission in an authorized SAP training institute. People at the institute said that SD Module suits me best, but i want to know from you experts. Please guide me. They( the institute people) say that SD Module is the most demanding in terms of job opportunities. But having gone through different threads here its contradicting. The authorized SAP training institute guys are saying that they will also ASSIST me in getting a job but they cant GUARANTEE it. fare enough. But i want to know about the current job opportunities as a Certified SAP SD Consultant in todays market from experts.
Please help me in this, i would be grateful.
Thanks,
Dany

Hi Daniel,
All your points are valid, but unfortunately that's the state of affairs as of now. Getting an SAP Certification is equivalent to "I have learnt this SAP course from this Authorized Training Center". And that's the end of it.
Not many companies will hire you just because you have an SAP Certification. Coupled with the fact that getting an SAP Certification is quite an expensive affair (at least in India - I don't know where you are from...) the entire idea is a joke IMO.
And from the looks of it, it doesn't look like SAP is going to change this trend any time soon. Before jumping into the Certification bandwagon, do read some of the agonizing tales of freshers like you, who have done Certification and still looking for a job.
Im not trying to discourage you, but you should know the facts before making a huge investment in terms of time and money so that you can make an informed decision.
Good Luck!

Looking for: UA members with Student SAP User Group

UA Professors in North America:
Does your campus have an offical SAP student user group, ERP special interest group or similar? If you do, please post with a brief description of what that group is / does.
In the next month I would like to organize a conference call for the schools with these SIGs to understand what member schools are doing, how the groups are organized, how the groups are (or are not) affiliated with your SAP initiative on campus, what works / doesn't work for your students and so on. Students at member schools have more and more interest in starting these groups - and we'd like to be ready to share best practices! Our colleagues at ASUG are interested in this topic as well, and will join us for the call.
Thanks for sharing!
Best Regards,
Heather

Central Michigan University has remained active since Dr. Andera's last post (9/29/10). We fulfilled our goal of visiting Cargil and 3M this past March 2013 in ST. Paul/ Minneapolis.I attached a couple pictures of our visits to 3M & Cargil. It was a very rewarding experience that allowed us to present our program to each company in depth. This trip taught us as group many things. We have also gone to multiple ASUG meetings including Grand Rapids, and Detroit. We are currently invited to the ASUG-Illinois Meeting on Nov 1 at Harper College, and will be hosting an event in the fall here on CMU's campus in Mt. Pleasant, MI.
As a group we have weekly meetings including guest speakers and SAP TERP10 training sessions. Our group has now reached 100+ students and continues to grow each year. There are many things we are doing that attract new students.
For instance, this past year the Information Management Institute here on campus conducted the 1st annual ERPSim. An annual invitation only competition challenging the best ERPsim teams in a competition to determine which team has developed and implemented the best business strategy for the ERPsim Game. Twenty teams of four students and one mentor competed head-to-head for the Top Honor of ERPsim Champion. The top five teams were rewarded with scholarship money and plaques.
So to answer your question, Central Michigan University currently has a very active SAP UASUG , and it only continues to grow!
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I am the president of the group here at CMU and would love to help you. Just email me at [email protected]

Is SAP helpful to a CA/CMA Student?

Hi,
I'm a Final Student of CMA (ICWA) India. I want to know about SAP FICO. Is it a helpful course for a CA/CMA student in India and abroad? What's the future scope of SAP FICO in the Industry? Does it have enough demand to get a job ?

Hello Babu,
Being a CA / CWA, you should seriously consider SAP FICO.
I would not expect a finance professional in this competitive world without computer savvy.
Whether you want to become a SAP Consultant or not that is a different matter, but knowing one of the best ERP software in the market is a must. Most of the clients in the market are using SAP. Therefore, you must learn SAP. Even if you are not a SAP FICO consultant, but a Finance Manager / Internal Auditor, still you need to work seamlessly on the software. Therefore, learning SAP is must for you.
Hope this helps you.
Kind Regards,
Ravi

RIM has no control over the Vodafone network and what they provide as 3G signals across their territory.
