Time frame for SAP implementation query

Hi guys,
I am a university student and am currently trying to collect some information for my paper on development of ERP systems in industrial companies, particularly SAP. I'm meant to do some field research, but it is proving to be rather difficult, which is why I wanted to ask for some help from people who have experience in the implementation of the SAP system.
What I'm looking for is the time frame that the SAP system takes to integrate into an industrial firm. Also, the scope of integration (ie how many and which modules were added on top of the core SAP system) and the number of users after the full implementation of the system.
I don't need the name of particular companies, as I understand that that may be disclosing too much corporate information, but it would really help me if someone could give me a realistic time frame of the implementation process for SAP.
Thank you, in advance!
Anya

Anya,
Update to your queries:
size of the company that this SAP implementation took place at:
Answer : In terms of revenue $200 million +
Interms of employees 6000+
HR module in particular - whether it can be fully implemented separately and how long would it take?
Answer:
Definately, it can be fully implemeted and other modules may not be used
Time period - 3+ months as Business packages are available in SAP.

Ganga

Implementation methodology and time frame for EHS implementation

Hi Gurus
Can you please share what implementation methodology we follow in EHS implementation?
Is it the same ASAP methodology or any new?
What is the average time frame for EHS implementation if we do it in one phase & time requirement for each component like product safety or waste mgt?
Thanks in advance

Project Time estimate for SAP BI

Hi Experts,
Can somebody please give me the time estimate for SAP BI project.
I am supposed to give effort analysis for BI implementation project.
Thanks in Advance.

If you know the scope of the project you can give rough estimate. Scoping gives you idea about number of Business process to be mapped in BI, number of reports required, criticality of report. The timing will alos depend upon the standard /customized content and enhancement done in source system. If there are independent business process you can reduce the implementation time by increaing the resources for the project.
If you want to get idea about time check the ASAP methodology and see how much time you need for each step of project plan. Roughly you will get the time.

Any time frame for when we will be getting the Android 5.0 upgrade on the Verizon G3?Type your question

Any time frame for when we will be getting the Android 5.0 upgrade to the G3 on Verizon?

No one from Verizon can or will give you a timeline. They have no idea. Verizon can't even test 5.0 until they get it from LG first so perhaps you should be asking them.

"Case use" technique for SAP implementation?

Hello all,
has anyone used "case use" technique for SAP implementation? I mean for standard process, not only developing.
Any recommendation about it?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Adolfo

It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
1) Set the project scope.
2) Generate the Project IMG.
3) Generate the BPML.
4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.

Default time frame for ICAL events

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day". Is there any way to change this?

Hi,
If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting 11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.
Best wishes

SAP Roles and Access for SAP Implementation team members

Hi,
Is it correct practice to give SAP_ALL role access for all SAP Implementation team members in Dev and QA?
If not, what is the correct practice?
Kindly let me know

Madhu,
It is NOT correct practice to give anyone SAP_ALL in any of the systems; not DEV, not QAS, and certainly not PRD. However, many implementation teams (and particularly consultants from SIs) insist that they cannot possibly do their jobs without it. This is completely incorrect as there are specific roles for them to use for that purpose. The only circumstance where it could be justified is if you require a special "firefighter" role - and even then, I would still be a bit doubtful.
You should also consider that once you have given someone SAP_ALL, they will fight tooth and nail to keep it. It also means that they probably are not testing the user roles correctly. Most of those that insist they need it simply do not understand the security issues and probably don't care.
Just think; if they have access to do soemthing that they shouldn't and then cause a big problem, are they the ones that will have to fix it or are they going to expect you to do it? If they expect you to clear up after them, then you have the right to insist on restricting their access to cause issues in the first place.
But I know just how demanding they can be....
Best of luck
Tony

Planning scenarios being used for SAP implementation at Foundry?

Hi,
Please share information on SAP Implementation at Foundry. Which scenario is most suitable? Foundry consists of various depts like Sand division, Core Shop, Melting Shop, Moulding Line, Fettling operation etc. How we can make use of SAP to control overall rejection at Foundry. What is the configuration etc..??

Hi,
u can use discreate manufacturing scenoria for core manufaturing.
My suggestion is as follows,
1.define the finished core as core assembly.
2. since demand of core is decided from the demand of mold, u can define core assembly as bom item of Mold(under Mold BOM header).
3.by doing this, during the MRP, systems gives procurements proposals for core assembly if there is no stock avalibale.
4.so we ccan create seperate production order, and we can confirm yield and rejection qty.
5.after production u can enter the rejection qty while conforing production order.
letme know if u have any futher doubt..

Time Frame for re-installing Mountain Lion?

I decided to completely re-install Mountain Lion using the reboot and holding down the command and R keys at the same time. The Download of the OS took about 1.5hrs-2hrs but the actually installation is still going.
It's literally getting to about 9 hours since the actual install has begun. It is EXTREMELY slow. Each time frame that it gives me is inacurate. by the time it goes from "15 minutes remaining" to "14 minutes remainig" it's already been 30min-1hr. It's been at "about a minute" for almost an hour now.
Am I doing something wrong or is this normal???
I'm using a Macbook Pro that I just bought from the Apple store about 4 months ago. 500GB HDD and 4GB RAM.
This is so frustrating. I've never had this type of issue with a PC before. 9+ hours to install an OS? That's laghable. $1500 paperweight sitting just infront of me.
And the reason I decided to completely reinstall the OS is because my computer was slowing down and freezing. Found out it might be the indexing it was doing out of no where for spotlight but even after turning off indexing it still was running slow. Apple wanted to charge me $20 to fix the bugged "functionality".
And also I have checked the HDD to make sure nothing is wrong with it.

Wow, glad so many folks have read it but no one has replied except myself, I posted it. Guess no one knows out there and Apple reps aren't responding.
Lots of folks complaining about slow issues but no fixes from Apple.
Not good.

Time Frame for the document

Parth

Hi Parth,
Everyone is a built-in group that contains all the users. you can see it in the Identity Management if you pick Group from the Select Criteria.
Some basic reading:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/81/0e0f61b566dc44bbb4055b3ccd25be/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/81/0e0f61b566dc44bbb4055b3ccd25be/frameset.htm</a>
Let me see if I understand,
You want everybody to be able to create a news item but then you want the items to disappear after a certain time? This is a bit tricky since you want users who created the item to have only read permission on it. you will probably have to implement a custom repository service for that. This reqiuers coding. let me know if that is what you want.
If you want a scenario where some users create items and the rest only read them, adjust the permissions on the folder level: assign write permissions to the item creators and read permissions to everybody else.
Best regards,
Avishai Zamir

SAP implementation query

Hi Team,
We are going to start an implementation project and have the following queries..
1..    Can more than one user log in into the system using the same username and password?
-         2.     Will this amount to two users as per the license contract or would it still be treated as one user.
-          3. Clarification on the power user and end user licensing. What can which type of user do?
-          4.   If I have a 100 user license can I create user number 101?
5.Hardware Sizing information for the SAP server
o   Option 1 u2013 Intel (H/W)+ Windows (OS)+ MS SQL (DB)
o   Option 2 u2013 Intel (H/W)+ AIX (OS)+ DB2 (DB)
-          The number of application users would be around 100.
I would like to know which option we can go with so that we can run the project efficienty..
Regds,
Satyanarayana N.

Hi Satyanarayana,
ANswers
1) Yes it is possible but you can restrict it by setting parameter login/disable_multi_gui_login to 1.
2)Multiple logons of the same user at the same terminal in the same client are counted only once. If the terminal will be different then it will be counted as different numbers.
4) I think you can create one additional user but the active user count can not exceed 100.
5) Hardware calculation you can do using link https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/sizing

Ashok
