What is GAP ANALYSIS

dear all can u plz give a brief description on GAP anallysis

hi
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do.   For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world.  In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.

    Hi,
    The gap analisys is the analisys on what are the difeerences between actul system and what the customer want to develop.
    Gap analysis is some thing which is there in the business scenario but not available in the SAP process model.
    Business blue print is the document containing Q&A database this is the second step in ASAP methodology.

    Hi Hawkin,
    In information technology, Gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications, often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space. Among the various methodologies used to perform gap analysis is IDEF, a group of methods used to create a model of a system, analyze the model, create a model of a desired version of the system, and to aid in the transition from one to the other.
    The Gap Analysis Fit is a step inside an ideal business blueprint of a BW project implementation (but, clearly, the same concept can be applied to several situation...).
    During this step, after having collected all the client's requirements, you have to higlight what you need (or what you can) to use to build what the user wants.
    In this analysis, you find that a business content datasource (found via help.sap.com or after the SDN's forum suggestion or...) can provide almost all the required fields (since a datasource is a collection of several fields..).
    Anyway, notwithstanding this, you realize that this datasource is good only for a 95%, because it's missing the info related to the customer (usually shown with 0CUSTOMER object, but you can use a ZCUSTOMER or something else...the only important thing is that you need this info!).
    Ok, you know that in order to fit this gap, you have to build your own enhancement with a little userexit to fill this missing field: THIS IS THE GAP ANALYSIS FIT !!!
    This explanation applies also to a std cube, to a std query and so on...
    Sure, you use std business content, but why you ask "why does he say the source system doesn’t provide it" ???
    The std objects can't provide always all we need, but only, if we are lucky, a part (more or less) of it...and at this point you need to perform this kind of analysis...

    Cut Over Plans
    Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new.   Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
    Train Users
    Well trained users will support and defend the system on site.  Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced.   Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.

    Hi Farhan,
    Gap means small cracks. In SAP world or in Information Technology world, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be."
    Gap Analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space. Actual Gap Analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in Business Blueprint [AS IS Process] stage.
    A through Gap Analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates and its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and auctioned,
    1. GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed
    2. GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required
    3. GAP does not need to be closed.
    A point worth mentioning here is that at time people confuse between user-exits and Gap Analysis. User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench, its not new functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the same code.
    Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once business Blueprint is finished we have to find the realization of sap system for client requirement and there will be certain gaps when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system.
    The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.
    Examples:
    1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.
    2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
    A2. A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can and can't do.

  • AUC- Asset Under Construction - Gap Analysis

    Hi Guru's,
    I have a requirement to know the Gap Analysis on Asset Under Construction. 
    We are under Analysis Phase where i have to find out the Gaps related to business.
    I received a Reporting FD and asked to find out the data source.
    Please provide the Gap Analysis steps to over come on this specific requirement.  
    Based on my analysis i found multiple tables to derive the AUC - Asset Under Construction solution.
    Tables that involved to get the Asset Under Construction:ANLA, ANLZ, PRPS, ANEP, BPDY, T093B
    My Questions:
    Is there any SAP Standard Data Source for AUC- Asset Under Construction.
    Now in my high level requirement we are pulling the information from multiple tables.
    Please provide me suggestions how can i go ahead with the above requirement.
    Regards,
    Ganni

    Depends on how the FICO guys have configured AuC
    If they have chosen a separate asset class for this (as what tends to happen) - then the std asset data model will cater for this
    Just run the std content reports or build your own for the asset class of AuC

  • How to do GAP analysis ?

    Hi Experts,
    How to do GAP analysis ? I have a BW problem statement about SD module. I have to do a GAP analysis. I am doing it for the first time. So any suggestion about the approach to start it ?
    Thanks

    The gap analisys is the analisys on what are the difeerences between actul system and what the customer want to develop.
    GAP Analysis in simpler terms refers to study of existing state of system and desired state of system, there by identifying the gap between states. In the context of SAP, GAP analysis is very important before implementation of SAP system. The implementation team should study what is that an SAP system can provide for each business process and what is the actual business process. One should evaluate each such gap and should find out the ways to fill the gap. The gap might be filled in different ways: System enhancements, custom ABAP code development, interfaces with some other external systems. etc.
    In the Enterprise Systems field, GAP Analysis is a process done while bleprinting the solution and aimed to discover the gaps between the user requirements and the "off-the-shelf" (or packaged) solution. For example you want to implement an ERP system , you do a GAP Analysis to assess gaps between the processes supported by that System and the process as executed by the organization that will be implementing the solution.
    In the SAP BI area, we do a GAP Analysis to map between our logical and physical BI solution design and the Business Content that SAP offers. Business Content is a set of preconfigured BI objects aimed to save us valuable time when developing BI solutions by providing the "best practices" for that functional domain.
    The reason we do a GAP analysis in BI is to find out whether we can save ourselves a lot of time by implementing a Business Content solution instead of developing from scratch.

  • Gap analysis / zTransactions

    Hi,
    During the design stage and implementation stage of a SAP ERP system normally a GAP analysis is performed which results in an overview of the needed functionality that cannot be supported by the standard SAP processes. I am currently getting my self familiar with a SAP implementation where such an analysis has been made. There is also an overview of all the customized transactions in this system, so-called zTransactions.
    And here is my question:
    Does the identified GAPs result in the zTransactions, and if so,
    Does 1 GAP always results into 1 zTransaction, or can 1 GAP result into 1 or more zTransactions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Christiaan

    Dear Christiaan ten Berg,
    These are the answers of your queries:
    I suppose that what you call 'ZDevelopments' are the same as what I call 'zTransactions' ?
    Yes
    Could you please elaborate more on your answer #1: "if the customer is ready to do some Re-Engineering without affecting their current process". What do you exactly mean with Re-Engineering? Enhancements, bespoke reports, i.e. customized transactions; or do you mean completely modifying the underlying code (the core) of SAP myERP?
    Re-engineering: Lot of times the business process needs to be slightly changed/ modified so that it can suit the standard functionality provided by SAP.
    In answer #2: "2.In certain cases partially the customer's process will be done by some other way", I suppose that you imply that the customer will adopt to the standard SAP processes?
    Yes
    What I got from your answer #3 is that a GAP could result into 1 or more bespoke transactions, i.e. zTransactions; correct?
    Yes
    Do let me know in case of any queries.
    Hope this helps you.
    Do award points if you found them useful.

    thanks - Sameer .

    Here is Some useful info given earlier on SDN Forum on GAP Analysis:
    Simply Gap Is Nothing But,
    Client Requirement Doesn’t Meet With The SAP Application,
    The Distance Between Actual And Existing/Supporting,
    E.g.: On Purchase Of Material-X, The Other Material Will Get 50% Discount, Which Sap Doesn’t Support,
    Commission Paid To The Agent Also , Not Supported In SAP,
    To Fill This Gap, We Use The Enhancements,
    These Enhancements Divided Into Exits,
    Like
    User exits,
    Field Exits
    Screen Exits &
    Menu Exits.
    These Enhancements Used To Update The Standard Program In Its Respective Business Transactions, Used As A Gateway To Meet The Client Requirements.

    Hi,
    GAP is some thing where Software consultant give BEST business pratics to the client which is running across all over the world and which is also support SAP application and client is not accept the changes which is recommoanded by consulant. So this is GAP. All in broad way GAP is difference between software
    consultant view and client view clash at some point.
    GAP analysis is done in Blue Print stage. It aims to understand what can be done with the standard SAP and how the client actually wants a particular scenario to be processed. And to understand the GAP between the actual & required scenarios.
    Hope this helps,
