Re: SAP Versions & Releases

Hi,
I want to know about the SAP ERP Release strategy. upto my knowledge ECC6 is the latest version in ERP.
Is their any change in installation procedure or environment between 4.7ee and ECC6.
vivek

Hi Vivek,
The SAP releases newer versions, these new versions has more functionality and features to meet the present business requirements,
for eg: You dont prefer to work Windows 98 no since you dont have all the additional features what you find in your present windows systems, like ease of use. Similarly SAP needs to come up with new functionality in order to make the client/customer feel comfort in running his business.
Similarly the installation procedure varies from 4.7EE to ECC5, in earlier versions you have installation tool R3setup which works in slightly different way and GUI screen input options are different.
From ECC5 we had SAPINST tool where you have more user friendly screen and easy to understand what each feild means and also you can restart the installation from where stopped.
About maintanence, SAP will give free support to its cleints for a term i think 5yrs, later there will be additional support for 3 yrs(this has to be paid), and later if still customer wanted support SAP provides for another 2 yrs(the cost is more) and after this SAP doesnot provide any support for that version and the client has to upgrade his software (since client pays for license every yr, which cost him same for older and newer version, its better suggested to get it upgraded)
Now most of companies has moved to ECC6(due to extensive functionalities of java stack) and many features of SAP work with SAP kernel 620 and above.
Hope this helped you to certain extent........

Sap version / release history ?

Hi ! I would do like to know the history of SAP release history...
like : 4.5 4.7A 4.7D ... which is the newest, etc. (and what are the main changes between the releases)
any links ?
thanks a lot : )

this is a very difficult question if you are looking closely at it.
start [here|https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000617001996E] to get an impression why i find it difficult to answer. maybe you understand that the 'changes' cannot be summed up easily.

SAP versions and product naming explained ?

Hi,
I'm looking for some reference document explaining SAP product versions and naming through all release cycle.
thanks
Vilius

Hi,
Roughly it looks like,
New name for BASIS is now Netweaver.
BASIS was also once called WebAS.
New name for R/3 is now ECC.
New name for Netweaver 2004s is Netweaver 7.0.
Industry solution is an add-on made up for specific industry needs.
R/3 4.6c is part of BASIS 4.6c
R/3 4.7 is part of WebAs 6.20
ECC 5.0 is part of Netweaver '04
ECC 6.0 is part of Netweaver 7.0
Netweaver 2004 never existed, it's either '04 or 2004s.
For more information click [SAP versions Manual|http://www.scribd.com/doc/13176905/SAP-Versions].
Also check with sap version releases??

SAP Versions for B1i

Hi all,
I tried to add new SAP versions (e.g. ERP2004, 2005) to the drop down list in landscape configurator in control center but they are not visible.
I added new modified xml files ( copies of R3.47.200.xml) to setup/com.sap.b1i.repository\SysType.xml folder and Patch folder too but nothing goes on.
I don't know, if it is important to change or add newer SAP Versions but I would like to do this because of better documentation.
Has anybody tried this successfully??
The workaround which is described in this posting: SAP Business One Integration Technology does not work for me.
Regards
Rayko

Hi all,
now it is official. I wrote an message to SAP support regarding this issue and the reply is the following:
sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I was double checking with t
he development department just to be sure of teh reply.
Unfortunately ERP2004/2005 is not supported in the current release.
It is very helpful to get information about inserting new entries in dropdown list of control center but they are for nothing because B1i does'nt support this SAP releases. Thanxx god I can connect to 4.6C ( which is out of maintenance) but not to the both newest releases of SAP ( ERP2004 comes up 3 years ago!!!)
Ok , 2 weeks of trying and working for nothing. It seems I have to wait nearly 2 or 3 years until our current SAP release is supported.
Thanxx Eddy for help. See you 2008
PS: on Cebit 2007 SAP sales team told me: of course ERP is supported!!

SAP version difference from 4.0 to recent

Hello Friends,
I just want to know the difference between SAP versions 4.0, 4.7 & 5.0, please compare all with 4.0 version and post the reply.
Regards,
ninad kshirsagar

hi
Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
Goods receipt
Goods issue
Transfer posting
Remove from storage
u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
Requirement prioritizations in materials management
u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
Mass maintenance of outline agreements
The following two transactions available:
u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
Commitment plan for purchase contracts
u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
Prepayment of invoices
This functionality is characterized as follows:
u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
Parking service items
It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
u2022 This Report is available with "Non-Hierarchy" display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location.

Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.

Hi,
We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
Regards,
R Mav

> Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.

Difference between the SAP versions

Dear all,
Please let me know the difference between 4.6b, 4.7 and ECC5.0 with special reference to the SD module.
Thanks in advance.

There are so many differences between the version in different objects
I will explain in two or more objects the difference
1 in the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code
and also there is no CIN tab in that version
but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN
which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
But we can do the same in the 6.0 version
These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects
