What is difference between Upgradation and Rollout Project?

posted May 26, 2011, 8:24 PM by Sap Team   [ updated May 26, 2011, 8:28 PM ]

Upgrade:
You take your current SAP solution and upgrade it to a never version ,example is ECC4.7 -> ECC6.0
Upgrade = You DO not increase scope You upgrade something you already have to a never version

Roll-out:
There is several scenarios;
(a) You use SAP but wants to increase functional scope
you build a new SAP template or enhance your current SAP template and you roll that out to your existing organisation
(b) You use SAP but wants to organizational scope
You take your existing SAP template and applies it to additional organizational units (Company codes)
(c) You do not have SAP but wants to start using SAP


SAP provides two different ASAP templates depending if it is a Global or local roll-out

Cancel check by mistake in FCH8

posted May 26, 2011, 8:17 PM by Sap Team   [ updated Jul 6, 2011, 9:36 PM by Sen Long ]

Question:

We cancelled a check in FCH8 by mistake. The check was cashed in April.
I found where I can use FCHG to put it back to normal but first I need to reverse the clearing documents in FBRA. Once I use FCHG I lose the link between the check and the original document (invoice). How do I get that back?




Answer :

If you canceled the check with transaction FCH8, then you also canceled the payment document... so for SAP you haven't paid the invoice(s) to the vendor.

It is better if you generate a new payment, asign a new check and then interchange the canceled check with the new one using transaction FCHT. Doing this the original check will be now available as the cashed check and the new check will appear as canceled

How to move SAP servers to a virtual machine ?

posted May 26, 2011, 7:50 PM by Sap Team   [ updated May 26, 2011, 8:10 PM ]

From irrshaad :
 
We are planning to move our SAP servers to a virtual machine (VM). and I have some questions related this,

- what is time required to move the SAP system to Virtual machine?
- whether down time is needed for SAP servers?
- Whether SAP system which is running on windows and SAP system which is running on Linux can be moved?

 
 
Answer from  Robert :
 
Linux and Windows will both work on VM, we have two SAP environments one on each. The Hosts wil have to be different though. i.e. you have your Windows VMs on a Windows Host and your Linux VMs on a Linux Host.

If you are simply deattaching and presenting your storage from your current physical server to a VM server then this is relatively quick and avoids the need for a 5 to 10 outage to export and import databses.

Clearly you should run through this in a test system to begin with, get your process and timings confirmed, best approach would be to take a copy of your PRD database into test and rehearse the move - that way you should get exact timings.

How to create a recurring document or a sample document.

posted May 12, 2011, 3:30 AM by Sap Team   [ updated May 12, 2011, 3:32 AM by Sen Long ]

Example post Prepaid Insurance every month.

In order to post the Recurring entry you can follow the following steps:

Step1.  Tcode FKMT --> here you can create a Assignment model by Debiting your Expenses and Crediting your prepaid Account. (this is just a Templet so for and positing has not taken place)

step 2. Tcode FBD1 --> here you could recall the assignment model, specify the respective period of posting Example Start with 1st Nov XX end with 30 Nov XX for a period and specify the batch name.

Step 3. Tcode SM35 --> here you look for the batch name which you saved while you did step 2 and run the batch.  

Step 4. Tcode FB03 --> see the postings if that has posted correctly by debiting the expenses account ( actual monthly figure not the yearly figure and credited the Prepaid account)

If you follow these steps, it should work as there is no configurations for Recurring entry, but for Manual Accruals there is config.
 

Example set up recurring entries on weekly and fortnightly basis, do we have the option to set up Run Frequency on week and fortnight, as I could see only monthly.


Step 1. Use transaction OBC1 and define the run schedule for e.g. TEST.

Step 2. Use transaction OBC2 and maintain run dates you want for the scedule defined above.

Step 3. Use transaction FBD1 to create recurring document and enter the Run Schedule you defined in step 1.
