  • Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

    Hi,
    Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
    Thanks,
    Sunny

    "After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
    upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
    packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
    There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.

  • Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation

    Dear Friends,
    Shall anyone of you kindly let me know of a link or send a document addressing the Role & Responsibilities of an ABAPer during SAP Implementation?
    Regards,
    Alok.

    Hi,
                  ABAPer is required after installation and business study by functional consultant...
    In case of upgrade project, ABAPer is required during upgrade (Basis activity) itself in SPAU and SPDD step.
    Otherwise, ABAPer has following role in their area:
    1. Business study in brief. (To resolve simple issue and to understand logic)
    2. Coding for User exits / enhancements to co-operate with functional consultant.
    3. Custom reports / Program developement (Normally print programs and some analytical reports)
    4. Upload program implementation thru' BDC / BAPI / LSMW
    etc.
    5. Interface developement if required. (in case of legacy system integration projects)
    These are the major tasks of ABAPer in implementation project.
    Activities that form the SAP implementation process are:
    1. Project Preparation
    2. Sizing and blue printing
    3. SAP Functinal development - here abap comes into picture
    4. Final Preparation
    5. Go live
    Have a look at below link. It will give you more details abt the same.

    MM implementation
    PP implementation
    SD implementation
    FI/CO implementation
    PS implementation
    QM implementation
    HR implementation
    BI implementation
    XI implementation
    Thanks and regards
    RS

    hi,
    I will list out few of critical issues in
    Implementation :
    1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
    2.  Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
    3.  Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
    If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
    4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
    5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
    6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
    cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
    7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
    8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
    9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
    10. Declare go live to SAP Support
    11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
    12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
    13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
    14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
    15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
    After Go live :
    1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
    2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
    3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
    4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
    5. Prepare  a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
    6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
    7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
    8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
    9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
    10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
    Hope it helps.

  • Role of SAP Functional & Basis Consultant for any new authoirzation/user ID in Support Phase

    Dear Expert,
    Please let us know what is standard /best practice for below activities in SAP Support phase?
    Who will responsible for Authorization Matrix?
    Who will be first point of contact (Functional / Basis Consultant) to SAP user for any new authorization request?
    Who will do the testing & impact analysis of new authorization?
    If we provide any new SAP transaction code to the end user & user is facing authorization object issue then who will be first point of contact for user Functional / Basis Consultant?
    Also who will be fist point of contact (Functional / Basis Consultant) for new User ID creation request?
    In our current practice Functional consultant is dealing with end user. He is taking requirement of new Report/Transaction access request & doing analysis. Then he is taking approval from BPO & based on BPO approval Functional consultant is providing training to end user. When end user is accepted requested report requirement in standard report or transaction data process then Functional consultant is sending request to Basis consultant along with authorization parameters like Role, Organization parameters, type of activity (create/change/display/delete) etc.
    Our Basis consultant is not agreeing for this process & he want to directly deal with end user for all activities & he will take help of Functional consultant if required.
    Sorry friends this is not technical discussion but it is create big dispute between our internal support team regarding who will be first point of contact for any authorization related issue?
    Regards / Aviya.

    Dear Aviya Paul,
    1. Who will responsible for Authorization Matrix?
    Authorization Matrix that define "what position may have access to which authorization/ role" shall be developed by User (Management), with support from BASIS. User is the one who have the authority to decide, while BASIS should help User in understanding the technical knowledge of access authorization.

  • SAP Interview question "What is risk or most difficulty during SAP implemen

    Hi all,
    A interviewer ask me a question "what is risk or most difficulty during SAP implementation, please list at least 4 answers".
    Do you have experience in SAP implementation, if you have, what do you think?
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    Risk is in Mass maintainence...
    Deletion / changes in the data's....
    Covering of the abnormal requirement like gate pass etc...these are also called GAPS in sap...
    Posting periods opening/closing from MMPV is very risky and if opened for the next month instead of the current month, then its bit difficult....
    Hope it helps...

  • Should i Swap my career from hardware engg to Sap Basis Consultant?

    Hi,
    I am into computer hardware and networking since last 14 years. Now i am planning to go for SAP basis certification. Will it be helpful to obtain a good career? Or i should proceed towards microsoft certification only?
    What are the basic requirements to become a SAP Basis consultant?
    Thanks in advance
    Milind

    SAP Certification is always an added advantage those who are seeking a career in SAP. Just check with the Education Partners like Siemens / Genovate / Yash etc for the pre-requisites... One more important thing is SAP Certification is much difficult that Microsoft Certification. Hope this helps

  • CAreer in SAP BASIS comaprision with SAP GRC/Security

    Hi Everyone,
    I am an SAP BASIS consultant with 2 years of experience working in a MNC company,
    I want to change my career to SAP GRC/SAP Security, i have some basic knowledge on SAP Security,
    COuld you please advice me, which one to choose,?
    Does  SAP GRC/Security has demand , and can we get oportunities to work abroad compared to SAP BASIS ?
    which one has more scope SAP BASIS or SAP Security/GRC ?
    Because in BASIS, i am not getting enough scope to work on some good things like Installation, upgrades, Migration,
    i am doing a very basic kind of work like tranports, job scheduling, monitoring, and other small activities ?
    So request you people to advice me ?
    <removed_by_moderator>

    Hi Rakesh
    I saw your post in GRC and was waiting of it to appear here
    First up - 2 years is still junior. You may find batch jobs, transports, monitoring, etc all mundane but it is a foundation and learning ground work and foundations to being a good Basis Administration. And one things for sure, an awesome basic (I name my best-techy-friend) makes a huge difference on project timelines and deliverables for the rest of us.
    Installation and Upgrades come with time. Whilst still performing junior tasks you could focus on reading up on approaches in case an opportunity in your job comes us and be prepared to prove to your management that you are ready for a bigger responsibility.
    Switching to GRC/Security would be pointless unless you have a desire to learn GRC or Security. These are my background and they are undervalued until things go wrong (insurance policy in a way).
    If you do switch you will reset your 2 years of domain experience back to 0 and you will start off with password resets and basic user administration
    It takes time to work through the ranks. It was 3 years before I got to build my first role. I spent my first few years in security on email chasing approvals, password resets, user account creation, running reports for audit - sounds familiar to what you are doing now?
    You have to master the basics before you are trusted and ready for the more complex activities. By knowing what you are doing now you will be more successful when the time comes to step up and do migrations, upgrades and installations. Support production by mastering you technical analysis skills is how you can break through being a fresher/junior
    Regards
    Colleen
    Ps - if your motivation is more than "good things" happy to answer questions specific to security and GRC.
    Also, boring doesn't mean it can't get interesting nor does it mean it's a worthless activity: SPAU transport imported before patching!!

  • Role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project

    Hi All,
    What is the role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project and the stages in which he is involved?

    Hello Mohammed,
    The role of a Security consultant in any SAP product implementation (not just GRC) is wide enough and it's hard for anyone to sum up on a single forum post. Still I can give you some pointers.
    Security consultants come from different backgrounds, some from networking, database administration, infrastructure and even development like me. They contribute enormously to any product implementation from scratch (landscape design) to go-live (and continuous maintenance) so they are active on every phase of the implementation.
    Following are some of the activities they may perform (or participate)
    -System Landscape Design (work closely with BASIS and DBAs)
    -Check Infrastructure feasibility from security perspective (For Portals exposed to internet or extranet work closely with network providers for firewall security, VPS etc.)
    -Propose security guidelines, access policies, disaster recovery plan, business continuity roadmap (work closely with information security consultants and internal auditors or risk management teams)
    - Implement SAP solution specific Security measures (involves almost every SAP solution) for example: SAP R/3 security, GRC, BW/BI, HR, FI, Portal security etc.
    - participate in application integration for example: LDAP, IDM, SAP UME, shared directories etc (User master records security is on high priority).
    -   Check for any possible backdoor access vulnerabilities (ex: open RFCs, function modules like ping_rfc), and it involves almost all SAP solutions and there are special procedures to analyze such vulnerabilities.
    there are many such activities that a security consultant perform on day to day basis. Please do not interprete the above mentioned activities (entirely) as a criteria for any security consultant profile. There are many many possibilities for a security consultants to work from pen testing to SoD violation remediation. That's why I said it's not easy to sum up security.
    Always remember, Security and GRC are two sides of a coin they work together. however GRC is more of a combination of policy, regulation, events and involves management participation whereas security is a purely technical practice.
    You may also be interested to know what it takes to become a forensic security specialist.  Take a quick look at [http://amudee.com/?p=378|http://amudee.com/?p=378]
