Wireless Telco specifics for SAP implementation

1) Are there any key considerations and industry specifics for a wireless telco company for the Chart of Accounts, Asset Structure, Material/Service Master and Plant Maintenance u2013 BOM?
2) Are there any Wireless Telco industry specifics that we have to watch out for, eg. revenue recognition for prepaid cards, treatment of AUCs for Network Assets, etc.
We are implementing SAP ECC 5.0, FI-GL, FI-AP, FI-AA, FI-AR, MM-PU, MM-IM, MM-SD, EAM-PM and EAM-PS.
Thank you

Hi Vinit
From Pharma Perspective , the solution in SAP should have below things
1. As Already mentioned Batch Management is Key. I would like to add along with batch management , the batch release process along with certificates related to Batches plays a key role.
2. Generally in pharma we have Make to order process , so it would be good to know about standard MTO flow .
3. Another key aspect is Subcontracting process. Each Pharma company has its own subcontracting process defined but its one of the critical processes in Pharma industry.
4. Planning with MRP also is important from the system set up .
Hope this helps
Regards
Swapnil

"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.

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

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..

IBM Common Store for SAP Implementation VS IXOS

Hello all, great idea for a forum.
We are currently choosing between IBM CommonStore and IXOS for our Image Repository, Document Attachment and Archiving solution.
Our team has extensive experience with IXOS and limited experience with IBM CommonStore and IBM Content Manager.
In a situation where 1000s of returned invoices and correspondences a day will be imaged and inserted into the repository and indexed into PS-CD we need to decide if the dollars saved in going with CommonStore will be spent getting our solution up to the integration level that is delivered with IXOS.
Does anyone here have experience with both or has anyone gotten CommonStore working up to a full production level with QA workflows and CRM viewing enabled?
Any experience getting CommonStore fully functional with a mass invoicing scenario?
Any help will be appreciated.
Greg

Greg,
All certified vendors that use SAP ArchiveLink would basically have the same level of integration in SAP. It should take you no longer to implement one over the over, the sap configuration is the same. It really comes down to the experience of the implementation team.
The IBM CommonStore solution is SAP ArchiveLink certified and provides an enterprise wide imaging repository without the need for additional products and licensing.
If you want to look at just the scanning front end, IBM uses a scanning front end that supports OCR from such vendors as Kofax and Captiva. IXOS Enterprise scan can only scan and hand the images over to another OCR solution, thus scanning the same documents twice.
I am familiar with both solutions; I was the past IXOS imaging team lead for 5 years.
I'm not sure what you're looking for in regards to "QA workflows and CRM viewing enabled?"
CRM is archiveLink enabled!

SAP Implementation at Core Shop in Foundry.

Does anyone have idea about what scenario is required to be configured for SAP implementation in Core Shop of Foundry. Cores are basically sand structures manufactured with the help of Core Manufacturing Machines. After few operations & sub Assys, these cores are then placed in Mould to get cavities in the castings on the Moulding Line. Then these moulds are poured with Molten Metal & we get Castings. This is the process in brief.
With Sand as input material procured as an indirect material. Cores would also fall in same category. Cores are prone to damages at every operation (washing, drying, Water jacket, Trimming, L-bolt fitment etc) during manufacturing process.
Raw Sand --->Raw Caores from Core manufacturing Machines -
> Semifinished or Sub Assy Core Area -
> Core Setting Area -
> Finished Core Assy placed in the Moulds.
At every stage given above, rejection codes are to be maintained as Rejection % is important factor from improvements point of view..
How to map this process in SAP? Which SAP scenario is to be used?

Hi,
u can use discreate manufacturing scenoria for core manufaturing.

Network sizing for SAP printing

Dear all,
We are in the midst of sizing network bandwidth requirement for SAP implementation which involves some remote locations. Actually Iu2019ve gone through the documentation (Front-End Network Requirements for SAP Business Solutions), and found the way of calculating the network requirements based on number of users (C = N * D * X * 0.25 formula), however Iu2019m not sure if the formula does include the SAP printing bandwidth requirement. Appreciate if you can shed some lights on SAP printing network sizing guide or sort.
Best regards
Rolando

Thanks Susanne,
Understand we need to rely on the information on how much the printing requirement is to come up with the estimation on SAP printing bandwidth requirement.
Perhaps you have some experience on the size of 1 page of SAP printlist (plain text) ? Is it safe to have assumption that 1 page of print list would have 20-30 KB in size? And ones with pictures/logos are 100-200KB in size?
Best regards
Rolando

Store documents for SAP installations in Germany

Hi All,
One of our clients has a single instance of SAP in Germany. It seems that according to the German VAT law we are NOT allowed to electronically store any documents such as invoices or credit notes on servers outside the European Union.
I wanted to check if this is true and if anyone has encountered a similar situation for SAP implementations on Germany and how did you deal with this scenario.
Any feedback/comments will be very helpful.
<removed_by_moderator>
Regards,
Vivek
Edited by: Julius Bussche on May 29, 2009 11:10 PM

> 1. How did you handle documnets that are physically stored in some other country but legally should be stored in Germany ?
You either mirror them, or give them their own instance to work on and mirror it back.
Another option is to use virtual companies, but in my experience that creates a mess and is not scalable (imagine all countries want this?).
> 2. Can you please explain about the second point "export controls on encryption software", how is it usefull in this scenario.
It was a thought. I did not say that it would be effectively usefull. Basically, the authorities want to be able to do a "morning raid" if required and confiscate / copy the disks for investigation. That is why they want the hardware physically within their legislative area...
You can use encryption, but the keys (probably lots of them...) will be within legislative area as well, probably.
You will need to contact your DB vendor about that.
Possibly you can also contact the authorities and ask for an exception.
Cheers,
Julius

QGM for Greenfield SAP Implementation

Hi All,
We are doing a greenfield SAP implementation. As of now we are done with DEV landscape build. We would like to utilize Quality Gate Management for Change Management in our project. I have few queries:
1) How should I define Transport routes at this stage to activate QGM? We have only DEV systems as of now. QAS and PRD would be ready in next few months. Can I activate QGM now with logical component containing only DEV systems?
2) Once the QAS and PRD systems are ready; How to include them in the existing QGM project?
Any documentation or input are really appreciated.
Regards,
Vivek

Achieved this using the virtual systems as mentioned in this excellent blog.
