First Things to Target in a New SAP Implementation?
Posted on March 29th, 2006
I was recently thinking that
if you are starting a new SAP implementation - what are major things that you would like to nail down first at the team
level? Some of the things that you would attack the first! Here are some of the Org Structure and other stuff that I could
think of. Do you have anything to add to this list?
-
Chart of Accounts - Fiscal year Variants, Posting Period
Variant
-
Company Codes
- incl. International Company codes.

Jo Ann trains 500 SAP Users in 3 weeks!
Posted on March 28th, 2006
This is indeed incredible pace! These guys have
href="http://www.justloadit.com/pr/6118">trained 500 users in just 3 weeks
personal training formats.. but the softwares like STT trainers may help ease out the Change Management rigors!
Jo Ann Stores, the leading national fabric and craft retailer in the U.S., successfully
trained and tested 500 of their end users on SAP in just three weeks, using simulations generated with Kaplan's leading
enterprise application training software, STT Trainer.
Simulations are realistic recreations of applications in
which end users are free to learn how to use an application without fear of impacting the "live" system.
Simulations also provide end users onscreen guidance and instruction on how to perform tasks.
STT Trainer enabled
the rapid development and deployment of Jo Ann Stores' software simulations for the training and testing of over 500 of
their end users during the company's SAP R/3 upgrade project. The customized simulations trained users across a range of Jo
Ann Stores' SAP modules, including Financial Accounting, Controlling, Materials Management, and Sales and
Distribution.

BI Tool Selection Process
Posted on March 28th, 2006
Here are some best practices for BI Tool selection. These are good pointers
here from Tim Furey - however, he has analyzed this important decision
from the BI silo only! In my view, that is a major problem with most of the decision making that goes
about in the industry today! BI is the HOTbed on which most of the future applications (assuming the company is still
running with OLTP but not much of OLAP environment in place).Â
Locking Concept in BPS
Data Locking is another concern that we all face in BPS but not many folks understand it
completely.
Data is locked against access from other planning sessions within a planning session from the
moment where it was accessed with write access. A lock generated once by the system lasts until the planning session is
terminated.
The background for this behavior is that only in this way can an improvement in the response
times be reached: Only when accessing the data for a certain characteristic combination for the first time, is the database
is accessed. session.

Characteristic Relationships: Advantages and Prerequisites
I love the Characteristic Relationships as they help and
automate the validation and data entry stuff.. here is another piece of gem from the SAP HELP!!
The
following advantages result from data entry in manual planning:
In a planning layout for which the option "All
Possible Characteristic Combinations" was selected, the Cartesian product is not (as in earlier releases with the option
"form-based") formed of all theoretically possible combinations of characteristic values, but instead only those combinations
that were defined as sensible in the defined characteristic relationship. For example, in a lead column that contains the
characteristics cost center and currency only the valid currency for this is offered for data entry for every cost center
(and not all currencies contained in the package selection) As a result, data entry is made much easier since only the really
relevant value combinations are offered. In addition, such planning layouts are now much more compact and clearer and this
leads to better answer times of the system.
Copy granular Line Items to Aggregated level using Multi-Planning Area
Posted on September 20th, 2005
Here is another cool example of copying from one Planning Area to another
(using Multi-Planning Area, of course) - from a granular level to a rolled up aggregated
level:
Copying with Automatic Summarization
You want to copy the transaction data from
planning area G1 into area G2. Both areas contain the same key figures. Whereas the independent characteristics article and
article group are in G1, G2 only contains the characteristic article group. For this reason, the breakdown according to
individual articles will inevitably be lost for the data to be copied to G2 – the data is automatically aggregated. To
achieve this, you create the copy function in the context of a planning level, which only contains the characteristic article
group. Therefore, you require the following objects in all:
