Some of the planning functions require script writing or coding. ABAper is helpful in creating such codes.
In our scenario, ABAPers created the conversion/ transformation as per mapping prepared by the Functional Consultant.
The functional / business users do upload and download of data (imports and exports) wherever required.

What is SAP XI?
SAP Exchange Infrastructure is SAPs platform for process integration based on the exchange of XML messages.
1. It provides a technical infrastructure for XML based message exchange in order to connect SAP components with each other as well as with non-SAP components.
2. It delivers business process integration knowledge to the customer in the form of SAP pre-defined business scenarios.
3. It provides an integrated tool set for building new business scenarios by defining and maintaining all integration relevant information. (Shared collaboration knowledge).
Before we take a closer look at how the Exchange Infrastructure will enter into the IT landscape of every SAP customer, lets take a closer look at the capabilities as well as the strategic direction of XI. This particular module of Net Weaver is one of the most powerful and is undeniably the most critical. Its purpose is really three-fold:
Connect:
XI has the ability to connect all applications regardless of whether it is an application
From a 3rd party or from SAP. The solution has pre-built connectivity to all SAP modules
Such as SAP CRM and utilizes the Adapter Framework to integrate 3rd Party solutions
such as Siebel, People Soft, Legacy systems, or AS/400s and Mainframes.
Coordinate:
XI has the ability to define a path/workflow for each business transaction that is
Integrated. The system actively routes each message to ensure that it is properly
Delivered from the source to the target destination. Active monitoring allows
Administrators to manage document exchange on an exception basis.
Communicate:
XI has the ability to translate files into any format whether an internal file format or any
Business to Business integration standard including but not limited to an XML format, an
EDI format, a marketplace, or a Web Service. Finally, there are multiple communication
Protocols included which allow the routing of a file over protocols such as s/FTP, http/s,
SOAP, ebMS, Value-Added Networks, or EDI INT (AS1, AS2).
Understanding The SAP Exchange Infrastructure_
Now, you might be saying to yourself, we already have solutions that provide all of this
Functionality. True, most organizations have invested previously in an integration strategy, but what we see in over 90% of organizations is that they have multiple translators and communication brokers, which they are supporting on a daily basis. This is both a resource drain as well as a monetary drain. For example, it is not uncommon to see the following even in smaller organizations:
Multiple Point to Point connectivity: For example, R/3 connected to a 3rd party
Warehouse Management Solution via an internally developed adapter or with the SAP
Business Connector
A 3rd party EAI Integration Broker to connect legacy mainframe systems to SAP and
WMS
A 3rd party EDI translator to communicate messages
A 3rd party XML broker to communicate XML messages to marketplaces and non-EDI
Trading partners
A communication server that focuses on sending messages via FTP, Value-Added
Networks and Internet protocols such as AS2 solution of choice for SAP end users
Interface-
Role of XI consultant
As a SAP XI Developer you will be required to : Gather requirements, develop specifications and technical documentation. Perform requirement analysis and high and low level design. Perform the coding, testing and integration mapping Interface with onsite / offshore project teams ,sometimes responsible for developing java applications based on clients requirement specifications, preparing the technical design document, creating prototypes, analyzing and identifying performance bottle-necks, providing technical and user documentation and training to client, providing relevant data to the Module Leader for status reports both.
It's a good option to switch to XI

While doing fi integration with mm & sd what is the role as a fi consultant

Dear Friends Good Morning,
While doing FI Integration with MM & SD what is the role as a FI Consultant?
Plese let me know what is the configuration need? plese reply me as early as possible
its veryhelpful for me.
Thanks in advance,
babu

Hi
As a FI Consultant should know the FI-MM & FI-SD Integration process. The following Q&A will be useful and FI Consultant has to configure both MM & SD related process based on the requirement.
FI-MM-SD Integration
FI MM account determination:
FI MM settings are maintained in transaction code OBYC. Within these
there are various transaction keys to be maintained like BSX, WRX,
GBB, PRD etc. In each of these transaction keys you specify the GL
accounts which gets automatically passed at the time of entry.
Few examples could be: BSX- Stands for Inventory Posting Debit
GBB-Standsfor Goods Issue/Scrapping/delivery
of goods etc
PRD- Stands for Price Differences.
Q: what level is the FI-MM, FI-SD account determination settings?
A: They are at the chart of accounts level.
Q: What are the additional settings required while maintaining or
creating the GL codes for Inventory accounts?
A: In the Inventory GL accounts (Balance sheet) you should switch on the
u2018Post automatically onlyu2019 tick. It is also advisable to maintain the
aforesaid setting for all FI-MM accounts and FI-SD accounts. This helps
in preserving the sanctity of those accounts and prevents from having
any difference between FI and MM, FI and SD.
Q: What is Valuation and Account assignment in SAP?
A: This is actually the link between Materials Management and Finance.
The valuation in SAP can be at the plant level or the company code level.
If you define valuation at the plant level then you can have different
prices for the same material in the various plants. If you keep it at the
company code level you can have only price across all plants.
Valuation also involves the Price Control .Each material is assigned to a
material type in Materials Management and every material is valuated
either in Moving Average Price or Standard Price in SAP. These are the
two types of price control available.
What is Valuation Class?
The Valuation Class in the Accounting 1 View in Material Master is the
main link between Material Master and Finance. This Valuation Class
along with the combination of the transaction keys (BSX,WRX,GBB,PRD )
defined above determine the GL account during posting.
We can group together different materials with similar properties by
valuation class. Eg Raw material,Finsihed Goods, Semi Finished
We can define the following assignments in customizing :
All materials with same material type are assigned to just one valuation
class.
Different materials with the same material type can be assigned to
different valuation classes.
Materials with different material types
Q: What is the accounting entry in the Financial books of accounts
when the goods are received in unrestricted use stock? Also
mention the settings to be done in the u2018Automatic postingsu2019 in SAP
for the specific G/L accounts.
A: On receipt of the goods in unrestricted-use stock, the Inventory account
is debited and the GR/IR account gets credited. In customization, in the
automatic postings, the Inventory G/L account is assigned to the
Transaction event key BSX and the GR/IR account is assigned to the
Transaction event key WRX.
Q: How do you configure FI-SD account determination?
The FI-SD account determination happens through an access sequence.
The system goes about finding accounts from more specific criteria to
less specific criteria.
This is the sequence it would follow:
1) It will first access and look for the combination of Customer
accounts assignment grp/ Material account assignment grp/
Account key.
2) If it does not find the accounts for the first combination it will look
for Customer account assignment grp and account key
combination.
3) Furthermore, if it does not find accounts for the first 2 criteriau2019s
then it will look for Material account assignment grp/Account key.
4) If it does not find accounts for the all earlier criteriau2019s then finally it
will look for Account key and assign the GL code.
Thus posting of Sales Invoices into FI are effected on the basis of a
combination of Sales organization, Account type, or Customer and
Material Account assignment groups and following are the options
available.
a. Customer AAG/Material AAG/Account type
b. Material AAG/Account type
c. Customer AAG/Account type
For each of this option you can define a Gl account. Thus the system
uses this gl account to automatically pass the entries.
All the best.

2. Set up governance process - Workflow

What is the role of ABAP technical analyst?

Dear Friends,
I would like to know the roles and responsibilities of a ABAP technical analyst for MM ,SD,FI/Co modules.?
Please tell me in detail what are the other roles or positions are there in an implementation or support project.
Very curious to know about the implementation cycle in SAP projects.
like I have heard of aggies,GAP analysis ,Blue print study....But dont have clear picture.
So relying on Sdn experts completely....
Thanks,
Reshali.

I disagree. I think the coffee corner is the best place for this kind of general question. So I've moved it here. Sure, you'll get some sarcastic or teasing answers, but you'll also get some helpful answers.
However, a general question can only be answered generally. And I'm not sure how helpful that is. The role of ABAP technical analyst varies from site to site.
For example, at one site, I had to:
Take functional spec and write technical spec and unit test scripts. If there were questions not addressed in the functional spec, I put it back to the functional analyst. Once I'd completed the technical spec and unit test scripts, they were reviewed. Once reviewed and found acceptable, I could code. I would then run the test scripts, and record the results. Again my work would be reviewed - the tech spec, the unit test scripts, the results, and the ABAP code. Once accepted, the development would go into testing. At any point in the cycle we could go back to an earlier point, get a review, carry on, make changes, get a review...
So, my responsiblities there were:
1. Write technical specs from functional spec.
2. Write unit test scripts
3. Develop programs
4. Unit test the programs according to the scripts and record results
5. Review other programmers technical specs and ensure they match the functional spec.
6. Review other programmers test scripts and ensure that they are thorough enough
7. Review other programmers testing and ensure it has been done properly
8. Review other programmers code, ensure it matches the technical spec and conforms to standards of quality.
( This might sound like overkill, but this site was the ONLY site I've ever worked where the vast majority of programs worked correctly in production - the rigourous checks upfront saved that company a fortune in maintenance. ).
At another site:
Given a functional spec, write a program and a technical spec.
btw - when you asked the question in the XI forum, Ramakrishna's answer was copy and paste from SAP Help.

What is the role of a HR functional consultant in the ESS/MSS configuration

Hi Guys,
If someone can suggest me what is the role of a HR functional person in the ESS/MSS or EP configuration and what needs to be done to achieve that..
Thanks,
~RJ

I think, HR Functional consultant role should mandatory for ESS/MSS. ESS/MSS are user interface technologies but behind the scene. It is all about HR FC. In order to learn ESS/MSS you should start base NetWeaver Architecture & Iviews concept.
You will find it more easy since you knw back-end.
Thanks,

What is the Roles Of Bridging Account

*What Are The Roles Of These Accounts Bridging, Non-Invoiced Sales Orders And Non-Invoiced Revenue in Periodic Account Assignments form? [ID 1335054.1]*
The Expense account is there to accommodate European accounting practices.
The Bridging account (as seen in WIP accounting classes) is used only in France.
The bridging account (and possibly others) was included at the request of the Global Accounting Engine team on behalf of France in the setup form at design time; but it has never been used as it was decided that transfer To GL would remain manual for the moment. In other words, today PAC only generates distributions based on GAAP/Brazil accounting.
In other words: In US accounting, when you put something in inventory it is accounted as an asset, in France it is accounted as an expense; so during a period you total all expenses and at the end of a period in order to do a fiscal Profit and Loss, you "convert" to assets by using a bridging account : you debit the inventory account and credit the bridging account. This is done by Product Nature: So you have a Bridging account for raw materials, for finished goods and semi-finished.
The fields 'Non-invoiced Sales Orders' and 'Non-invoiced Revenue' was set up with a view to replacing the functionality (used in Europe) that is currently provided by the Global Accounting engine (AX). However, this has not yet been implemented in the apps - which currently support only US GAAP & Brazilian accounting as methods of generating distributions from PAC.
User Guide
2 – 72 Oracle Cost Management User’s Guide
Bridging: This account is optional.
You can also optionally enter an Analytical Invoice Price Variance, Analytic a l Purchase Mirror, Non–Invoiced Sales Order, Non–Invoiced Revenue, Analytical Revenue Mirror, Analytical Margins of Goods Sold, and Average Cost Variance account.

Role of BI Technical Consultant ?

Hi Experts,
I am a newbie to SAP BW. I have a doubt regarding the roles of Bw Technical and BW functional consultant. I want to know what will be the exact roles of a BW technical and BW functional consultants in a BW project. That is what kind of work they need to do generally in a project?
Points will be rewarded to helpfull answers
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
In general Functional means, derive the funtional specification from the business requirement document. This job normally is done either by the business analyst or system analyst who has a very good knowledge of the business. In some large organizations there will be a business analyst as well as system analyst.
In any business requirement or need for new reports or queries originates with the business user. This requirement will be recorded after discussion by the business analyst. A system analyst analyses these requirements and generates functional specification document. In the case of BW it could be also called logical design in DATA MODELING.
After review this logical desing will be translated to physical design . This process defines all the required dimensions, key figures, master data, etc.
Once this process is approved and signed off by the requester(users), then conversion of this into practically usable tasks using the SAP BW software. This is called Technical. The whole process of creating an InfoProvider, InfoObjects, InforSources, Source system, etc falls under the Technical domain.

What is the Role that gives me access to JCO settings page?

Hi all,
I am at the customer site doing some WDP dev. I need to setup JCO so as to make use of RFC.
Customer has already assigned all the roles they have and i still cant access to the backend setting page.
What is the role to give me the access? how do i operate?
thanks guys!

Hi Erv2,
As you have mentioned that you are at your customer, then I presume you would want to get things fix ASAP. Thus I would suggest that you talk to your custmoer that they allow you to have the below authorisations or role assignment to your userID (you can ask one of their Portal Admin to sit with you while you work on it and at the same time, train him/her ).
As already mentioned by Koti, in the backend, ask for J2EE_Admin role to be assigned to you via SU01 transaction. Then next, ask them to give you the "Super Administration" role in the Portal via User management ...this role contains all the neceesary authorisation that a Portal Admin needs to execute most/all Portal admin activities.
Once you have finish setup, you can ask to remove the "Super Administration" role.
As a customer (myself), I give the necessary Admin role in Portal and/or J2EE authorisation on backend systems to our portal consultant with me next to him, so as a reasurring to the SAP security team and also to achieve needed knowledge transfer. Its a win-win situation.
If your customer does not want to give more authorisations...then the above mention roles/steps are to be follow..which at times, maybe afew steps instead of just 1.
Hope that helps.
