What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

Spend analysis reports

Hi Gurus,
I need your help.
Is there any way in Std SAP via which I can draw a report on spend analysis?
ROH materials are classified into several material groups. Each material group is further divided into multiple layers of spend categories. If I want to pull up a report on a particular level of spend, what should I do?

SRM Global Spend Analysis Report

Hi Team,
Does anyone have any prior experience creating SRM Global Spend Analysis Report in BI 7.0.
I couldnt find the data source in SRM for Global Spend report, but I have the Infoobjects and cube from BI Content. Can anyone provide a step by step instruction on how to create this report in BI. Do I need to create Custom Datasources?
I am using SRM 5.0 and BI 7.0 with support pack 10.
Thanks
Anita.

Hi
I don't think you need to create custom datasource, as all the information is available in the system.
I have not tried this ever. Here are few details, which might help.
Global Spend Analysis
Accurate spend information helps you to optimize your supply base and, by indicating potential for demand aggregation across business units, enables you to control your procurement cost and negotiate better contracts with your suppliers. Global Spend Analysis now uses mapping information provided by SAP Content Integrator. The category mapping functions of SAP Content Integrator allow you to map products and categories to a standard category hierarchy (or schema). This could be an internal customer-defined schema or an external one, such as eCl@ss or UN/SPSC. Grouped key mapping for partner data delivers information on identical suppliers, which appear under separate IDs in the procurement systems. Both kinds of key mapping information are made available to SAP BW. The consolidated InfoObject technology in SAP BW then enables unified reporting across diverse master data entities in a heterogeneous system landscape, based on the mapping information delivered by the SAP Content Integrator. For mySAP SRM 3.0, the data extraction tools of MDM, which feed the master data into SAP Content Integrator, only support SAP R/3 systems. Therefore, the global spend scenario in combination with SAP Content Integrator only provides an out-of-the-box solution for mySAP SRMs classic scenario.
Refer to few links as well.

SAP-BO SPM VS Ariba Spend Analysis

Hi friends,
I have a question here..
Can someone help me to explain, what is the difference between SAP-BO SPM and Ariba Spend Analysis?
Thank you very much.
Theresa

Hi Syed,
I agree with Waman comments and would like to add few more points to it.
As you may already know, IT systems are divided into OLTP and OLAP. SAP ERP falls into OLTP which is live. and BI falls into OLAP which is historical.
Though you are not using COPA for forecasting and planning purposed I don't think you can completely eliminate it.
More over as as Waman said, You can't use COPA only for reporting purposed without posting to it first.
Hope it explains.

BI/BO necessary for Global Spend Analysis? PI necessary for syndication?

Hi! I have been reading about MDM and examples of how MDM can be used by companies. One is on its ability to provide accurate and consolidated data for spend analysis. I would like to find out whether the spend analysis solution is only applicable for BI/BO. What if the company does not have BI/BO? What examples of other reporting tools are available for spend analysis reporting?
Also, PI is mentioned to be needed for data extraction from remote system to be loaded into MDM. Similarly, it is needed for the syndication back to the remote system. May I find out whether PI can be replaced by another middleware such as BizTalk?
Appreciate any clarification on the above.
Cheers!
SF
Edited by: SF on Jan 18, 2010 1:08 PM

Hi,
Reporting solutions will work for other reporting tools also. MDM will provide accurate Master data.
Need of PI?? - MDM accept and syndicate data in form of .xml, flat file (Refer reference guides). PI is helpful to for data transfer as well as monitoring capabilities are also good. I am not sure about BIZTalk's capability to integrate with system's you have in current lanscape. If it is there then you can utilise Biztalk also.

Please guide me to sort this issue.
Thanks..
Santhosh Kumar N

Hi Santosh
Yes, it is critical to get all the Spend related queries in an excutable state before you are able to launch the application.
This seems to be some issue on the BW side, pls have your BW Basis administrator check it out. Maybe your BW server is not properly patched.
I did a quick search on the term "CREATE_PARTITION-01" AND "CL_RSR_RRK0_ATTR_C " in Svc Market Place and foudn these three BW notes: 1489975, 1340340, 1412925. Pls see if they apply. Also feel free to do additional note searches for yourself.
Once the BW issues are resolved the SPM queries shoudl work.
Do write back and confirm what helped fix the problem.

What is Short Dump Analysis and secendry index ?

Dear Experts .
1.) What is purpose of T-codes SE30 and ST22 ?
What is Short Dump Analysis ?
2.) What is secendry index , How to use it ? How it effects the Performance of a report ?
Please it is urgent ...
Regards : Rajneesh

Hi
A dump analysis is a comprehensive list that should enable you to identify the causes and possible solutions of program errors. The ABAP Workbench generates a short dump whenever a report or transaction terminates due to a serious error. The system enters the error in the system log and writes a snapshot of the program at the moment when it terminated into a special database table called SNAP.
Dump analyses give the user or programmer information about the causes of the error that has caused the program to terminate. Experienced users can use them to identify very quickly where and why this occurred. He or she can them solve the problem.
The snapshot contains the following information:
Why the program has terminated
What caused the program termination
Where in the program code the termination occurred
What you can do to correct the error
The values of the relevant system fields when the program terminated
The calls or events that were active when the program terminated
Any other programs that are affected.

Index: Technical key of a database table.
Primary index: The primary index contains the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-key fields of the table. The primary index is created automatically when the table is created in the database.
Secondary index: Additional indexes could be created considering the most frequently accessed dimensions of the table.
Structure of an Index
An index can be used to speed up the selection of data records from a table.
An index can be considered to be a copy of a database table reduced to certain fields. The data is stored in sorted form in this copy. This sorting permits fast access to the records of the table (for example using a binary search). Not all of the fields of the table are contained in the index. The index also contains a pointer from the index entry to the corresponding table entry to permit all the field contents to be read.
When creating indexes, please note that:
An index can only be used up to the last specified field in the selection! The fields which are specified in the WHERE clause for a large number of selections should be in the first position.
Only those fields whose values significantly restrict the amount of data are meaningful in an index.
When you change a data record of a table, you must adjust the index sorting. Tables whose contents are frequently changed therefore should not have too many indexes.
Make sure that the indexes on a table are as disjunctive as possible.
(That is they should contain as few fields in common as possible. If two indexes on a table have a large number of common fields, this could make it more difficult for the optimizer to choose the most selective index.)
Accessing tables using Indexes
The database optimizer decides which index on the table should be used by the database to access data records.
You must distinguish between the primary index and secondary indexes of a table. The primary index contains the key fields of the table. The primary index is automatically created in the database when the table is activated. If a large table is frequently accessed such that it is not possible to apply primary index sorting, you should create secondary indexes for the table.
The indexes on a table have a three-character index ID. '0' is reserved for the primary index. Customers can create their own indexes on SAP tables; their IDs must begin with Y or Z.
If the index fields have key function, i.e. they already uniquely identify each record of the table, an index can be called a unique index. This ensures that there are no duplicate index fields in the database.
When you define a secondary index in the ABAP Dictionary, you can specify whether it should be created on the database when it is activated. Some indexes only result in a gain in performance for certain database systems. You can therefore specify a list of database systems when you define an index. The index is then only created on the specified database systems when activated

What release level of code do you get when you download a disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product?

I’ve asked a similar question to this on an Office Community Forum but nobody knows the answer. So
I was hoping that an IT professional responsible for installing and deploying Office 2013 might know.
If you download an installation disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product from office.microsoft.com/myaccount (Account Options:
Install from a disc > I want to burn a disc), what release level of code do you get?
Now that Service Pack 1 is available, do you get a disk image with Service Pack 1 incorporated?
Or do you still get the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) level of code?

Diane, thank you for the reply.
I was hoping that someone who has downloaded a disk image since SP1 became available would be able to confirm that for a fact.
I have just found a good description of Click-to-Run on Technet that I didn't know existed. The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427(v=office.15)
The article states:
"Click-to-Run products that you download and install from Microsoft are up-to-date from the start. You won’t have to download and apply any updates or service packs immediately after you install the Office product."
This statement is probably true if you click the Install button on office.microsoft.com/myaccount and install "in real-time" over the Internet. However, I know for a fact that it is not true if you order a backup disk (Account
Options: Install from a disc > I want to purchase a disc). All you get is RTM level code (15.0.4420.1017).
So I still feel uneasy about what release level you get if you download a disk image. I don't want to download what might be the better part of 1GB of code over the Internet only to discover it is back level.
Addendum (6 April 2014): I decided to perform an experiment. I looked at the size of the data on my backup disk which contains RTM level code. It is 2.04GB. I then went to office.microsoft.com/myaccount and clicked to download a disk
image of my Office 2013 product. The pop-up window that asks me whether I want to Run or Save the file informed me that the size of the file is 2.04GB!!! I cancelled the download. I strongly suspect that, if I had continued with the
download, I would have received the same RTM level code I already have dating back to October 2012. I think this is awful customer service. To some extent, I can understand the logistical problems of replacing backup disks lying in warehouses
waiting to be shipped. But I cannot understand why disk images on download servers cannot be refreshed quickly.

Report to find the PO held up at what release code

Users need a report to find that there Po is awaiting release at which release code.
I searched but could not find any report from where the user can see at which release code there Po is struck up.
Pl help on this.

Hi
I dont think there is any report like that to get all unreleased PO's and what release codes are awiting to release. However as a workaround you can use the Table EKKO with slection option of Release Indicator as 1 "PO not yet approved and pull out the Release code associated with it.
May be you can create a query with only the reauired information and use it for your users..
Thanks

Spend Analysis for Commodity Code in ECC6

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way for spend analysis references to commodity code in SAP R3 as we are not using SAP SRM?
If there is any option in ECC6 then;
a) Which field/view maintained for Commodity code at Material Master?
b) Which field maintained for Commodity code at /PO/Contract/RFQ/Purchase Requisition (Header level or item level)?
c) How spend analysis can be reported based on commodity code? (Standard report, Z custom report, BI report)
Thanks,
Shah.

Hi,
These are the reports available in ECC for Commodity wise reporting. Regarding once maintained in material master, how far these serve your purpose you can test.
MC.3 This report will help you in getting the information on the inventory turn over ratio by Commodity.
MC45 This report identifies the share of the usage value to the total usage. You can also see the report graphically for a selected material in detail screen.
MCE5 This program will give you information on purchase value, invoice value during a selected period. However for these reports it is necessary to update the relevant LIS structure.
MCEC This report can be used for Purchase budget requirement. However for this report to work, long term planning functionality should be put in use.
