What are SAP products?

Dear all
i am new in SAP and research about SAP products in university .
so i want to know what are sap products exactly.
i heard many names as products of SAP AG but i don't know
the diffrences.for instance i read ABAP ,SAP GUI,NETWEAVER
SAP business one,my SAP business suite,what are the use of this products.what should someone do to establish a complete system of sap.deos it need to have database?
to explain more i know that ORACLE CORPORATION have 4 major products:
1. DATABASE Server
2. APPLICATION Server
3. Developer Suite
4. Application e-business suite 11i
so plz write for me what are SAP AG products and thier use

There are a lot of SAP products, I wouldn't name them all, but I will give the basics.
1) Web Application Server, ABAP and/or JAVA. This is the basis for SAP applications.
2) SAP R/3 or SAP ERP. These are the applications in which most companies have installed. These applications run the day to day business functions. They run on the ABAP side of the WAS. The frontend end that the user uses to interact with the system is the SAPgui.
3) There are many other systems which compliment your R/3 implementation such as CRM, SRM, APO, etc.
4) Enterprise Portal, is an application which runs on the Java side of the WAS, this is a web based frontend which integrates SAP applications and non-SAP applications into one central place where the user can access all kinds of data.
There are many other products in SAP, these are just the major ones.
SAP supports many databases, such as Oracle, SQL, DB2.

To produce and sell as many devices as possible.
Seriously, you will have to ask Apple. We are just users like you. You can contact Apple using the Contact Us link at the bottom of these pages. But I don't think you will get a response, but I may be wrong.

What are SAP Note ?

Hi,
i am new to sap bw i would like to know what are SAP NOTes and where can i find those?

hi sai..
SAP notes are nothing but the standard solutions given by SAP for most frequently faced problems and querries.
Also if any corrective measures to be taken for the problems are explained in SAP notes.
They are avialable on service.sap.com
But you need login id for this.
The transaction code SNOTE is used to implement OSS Notes. With the SNOTE
transaction, it is no longer necessary to register ABAP objects such as report function
modules etc. manually. But data dictionary objects such as screens, tables need to
be modified manually by registering them in OSS system.
In order to use the transaction code SNOTE, the relevant transport which implement
this transaction in the system need to be transported. Please refer to the SNOTE
guide available at http://service.sap.com
for information you can refer http://www.sappoint.com/basis/snote.pdf
http://www.sap.info/index.php4?ACTION=noframe&url=http://www.sap.info/public/INT/int/index/PrintEdition-2558940029a53bfd4d-int/0/articleContainer-227444002b5ff8597d
go to URL https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/notes and enter the note number and display.
you need a service market place userid and password for this(check with basis team for user id and password)..

What are SAp Extension sets??

Hi all,
I'm doing a research about customizing in SAP and I've learnt about BC sets and their limitations. But...what are the Extension sets?? Are only predefined sets or can be created as the BC sets?? Are they similar to the BC sets??
Could anyone please give me some clue about them or provide me a link to this information??
Thanx all i advance.

Hi,
BC sets and Extension sets have nothing in common.
A BC set is a set of technical customisings as you said.
An extension set is a set of functional activities that you can activate with SPRO.
For exemple SAP R/3 4.70 has 2 releases of extension sets : 4.70 ext 1.10 and 4.70 ext 2.00.

Hi
In an production order (CO) you collect all the costs from used materials, hours, .... costs
When the Goods are issued to the Production Order the following transactions takes place:
             Consumption of Raw Materials - Dr
             Stock A/c - Cr
When the Goods are received from the Production Order the following transactions takes place:
              Inventory A/c - Dr
              Cost of Goods Produced - Cr
              Price difference - Dr/Cr
             (depending on the difference between standard cost and actual cost)

What are the avlble methods to Measure Quality of Customer Service in SAP

Hi
We are in Retail business, and I would like to know what are the available methods to measure the Quality of Customer service in SAP CRM. Help us to get the required information?
Best regards

Venkat,
there are two aspects to this :
1. The overall philosophy ( for want of a better word ) of QOS for any service - there is a lot of thought that has gone into measuring QOS for a service - hence I would say that QOS is more related to the specific service than the entire domain.
2. Measuring the quality of service in terms of what ? - there are a lot of KPIs for the same some of them could be :
Average time taken to service a customer
Does the customer get all that they want in the store or only some of the items ( partial fill)
Are the products neatly arranged and easy to access
average time taken for the customer to get what h/she needs
customer facilities like parking / childern play area etc
Availability of attendants / helpers for the customer
home delivery
credit options... etc etc and the list could go on endlessly ... as you can see it is very specific to the service being provided and accordingly you will get KPIs for the same.
As for measauring the same - there are umpteen ways to do the samedepending on the place it gets recorded - you can have surveys / web surveys / POS details etc etc - what is it that you are looking for specifically ?

Regards,
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
 Just to add some more valuable information.
Organisational master data : Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of various organizational structures.
Condition master data : In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP R/3 System requires that the master data has been stored in the system.
Material master data : In addition to sales and distribution, other departments of the company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views.
Document master data : The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP R/3 System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documents are structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.
Customer Master Data : or for that matter various business partners, we maintain data for them also called as the customer master data or vendor master data like that.
Thanks & Regards

What are the major issues in implementation SAP CRM sales and CIC.

Hi
We are newly implanting the project to the mobile Manfaturing Company. Our Clint is going for are looking to implement the CIC interaction center win Clint and the Sales modules of CRM .

We have the back end of the R/3 SD, MM modules implemented for Clint.

My motto is that if I know the issues I can make preparation for that conman issues and I will make my project with good effective and smooth running ..
with Regards,
prakesh
Edited by: prakesh on Dec 9, 2009 6:04 AM

hi prakesh,
firstly, cic winclient is an older version and obsolete so its better to implement the new crm version.
secondly, in any case if you want to implement, then your 3rd party raw data has to be mapped with the SAP system which could be a problem. Middleware could be a lot of effort. Rest all depends on how much customization you need for your business requirement in cic and sales. In case you are implementing standard functionality mostly then no major complications are expected otherwise lot of development effort may be required.

What are the must have SAP componets req to publish MDM 7.1.03.86 on web

Can anyone explain to me what are the SAP components required for MDM 7.1.03.86 allowing me create a webpage front end to MDM 7.1 and create and publish my own screens?
Like many I am very new to the world of SAP.
There are many others in my own company with a vast knowledge of what are all the pieces needed to run almost anything
In SAP. One of the exceptions to this rule is SAP Master Data Management (MDM).
We run:
- SAP MDM version 7.1.03.86
- A Windows 2003 server
- Oracle 10.X.
- 7.1 Import Manager
- 7.1 Import Server
- 7.1 Data Manager
- 7.1 Syndication Server
- I see reference to the 7.1 MDM Publishers but I donu2019t see the API in the way I have software loaded right now.
I would like to get to the point where I can create a web portal front end to the MDM product.
My problem is I canu2019t get anyone to give me a an answer as to what are the other pieced of software I would need to get
In an end to end solution. Starting with barebones and working up to the works!
Here is what I would like to be able to do:
- Publish in a SAP Portal screens to the web. (SAP NetWeaver CE Portal, PI Portal ????)
- Write code in Java, SQL, VB and more, save and test them. (SAP NetWeaver WebDynpro for Java ???)
- create a web screen in the portal and publish to a Portal or URL. (SDK kit or Developer's kit Like: SAP NetWeaver
Developer Studio ???)
- It looks to me like the "SAP NetWeaver BPM" product is "Nice" to have but not required.
This is soo confusing, PLEASE help!
Thank You
Steve T

Hi Steve
Adding to Anu's response:
The prebuilt packages (worksets) cannot be used on a CE portal - only on a NW Enterprise Portal.
iView templates are also provided which allows you to put together your own pages and worksets. Again, these require the Enterprise Portal.
You don't have to use an SAP portal. You can use any webserver combined with Java code
(that makes use of the MDM Java API) to access the data (check out http://catalog.bd.com/ for a sample of this). Of course, this requires a lot more effort on your side.
"SAP NetWeaver BPM" amounts to NetWeaver CE. It is required if you want to make use of the WebDynpro components in new MDM releases.
Since you mentioned the MDM Publisher, if you want to simply publish "read only" data to a web front-end, you may be able to make use of the MDM Publisher together with Adboe InDesign.
Java code can make use of the MDM Java API. Windows development tools can make use of the MDM COM and MDM .NET APIs.
HTH,
Mark

Hi Sushma,
You can download the user guide here:
http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFcQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.sap.com%2Fbusinessobject%2Fproduct_guides%2FSBOpa10%2Fen%2Fpa_user_en.pdf&ei=NMgHUOOtIcSziQfqupyeBA&usg=AFQjCNG10eovyZvNOJneT-l6J7fk0KMQ1Q&sig2=l56CSxtyr_heE1WlhfTdZQ
It has a list of the algorithms, which are pretty disappointing, I must say. No Random Forests? No ensembling methods? Given that it's using R algorithms, I must say this is a missed opportunity to beat products like SPSS and SAS at their own game. If SAP were to include this functionality, they would be the only BI vendor capable of having a serious predictive tool integrated with the rest of the platform.... but this looks pretty weak.
I can only hope a later release will remedy this - or maybe the SDK will allow me to create what I need.
As things stand, I could built a random forest using this tool, but I would have to use a lot of hardcoded SQL to make it happen. And if I wanted to go down that road, I could use the algorithms that come with the Microsoft/Oracle software.
Please let me be wrong........

hi
Role of a SAP Functional Consultant
What are the differences between a functional and business consultant?
The difference between Functional consultant and Business consultant are as follows:
1) A funcitonal consultant is able to configure the system unlike business consultant.
2) Functional consultant know more about business process unlike Business consultant.
3) A business consultant will bring business process knowledge and provide it to functional consultant who in turn used this knowledge to configure the system.
4) Functional consultant has more configuration knolwledge then Business consultant.
The responsibilities of a support consultant are:
- Primarily responsible for Handling tickets and application support to the endusers
- When an issue comes diagnose, analyse and solve the issue
- Responsible for any enhancements
- Writing functional specs and interacting with Abapers to develop any user exits
- Training the end users and preparing end user training material
For those who wished to know the role of a functional consultant. Below is one view:
A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence into an abstract and algorithmic business model. Hence, he identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical and technical views.
Then the main task starts: customizing the respective business area and making sure the system reacts in the manner according to the constraints of the requested use case.
The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper guidelines that allow other consultants to do further changes or repairs with due efforts.
The consultant takes care that proper training is given to the users and that the system is usable, performing appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct.
During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the behaviour of the system.
After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes enhancements.
The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for defects and general a common sense.
