New company code Implementation Continuous Improvement Phase only (if Your Landscape (DEV, QAS and PRD

) already Implemented ).

Continuous Improvement Phase Towards continuous improvement and to overcome the organizational, business & technology changes the followings are covered under this phase:

Post go-Live Support Improve System performance

SAP Implementation Phases Project Preparation Phase As per Accelerated SAP (ASAP) methodology it is the First Phase of SAP Implementation. During this phase, following components are discussed and documented: * * * * * * Initial Project Planning Project Procedures Project Team Members & their Training Project Kickoff Technical Requirements Quality Check

Business Blueprint Phase - In this phase, a detailed study of business processes and business requirements are undertaken by the Project Team members. This is the phase where Project Team Members interact with respective Core Team Members or Process Owners. The entire requirements gathered during this phase are documented as Business Blueprint. During this phase, following components are discussed and documented: * * * * * * * * Project Management Organizational Change Management Training Develop System Environment Organizational Structure Definition Business Process Analysis Business Process Definition Quality Check

Realization Phase - In this phase, all the business and process requirements are implemented as documented in Business Blueprint. SAP R/3 system is configured step by step in two work packages, Baseline and Final configuration. How these configurations will be done and how it will be tested.

* * * * * * * * *

Baseline Configuration and Confirmation System Management Final Configuration and Confirmation Development of external Programs & Interfaces Unit Testing & Documentation Final Integration Test Business Scenarios & Process Documentation End User Training & Documentation Quality Check

Final Preparation Phase - During this phase, following activities are discussed, completed and documented, successful completion of these activities leads to transition of all configurations settings to live R/3 System * * * * * System Management Stress & Volume Tests Cutover Strategies & Plans End User Training Quality Check

Go Live and Support Phase This is phase where all configurations/customizations are transported to live production operation and business starts all its activities in the SAP R/3. During this phase, all the problems/issues related to hardware, network, operating system, database, training, and application system are addressed by the project team members and they help the end users in achieving their day to day task/assignments. This phase is further divided as: * Application Production Support and Maintenance * Project Implementation End Continuous Improvement Phase Towards continuous improvement and to overcome the organizational, business & technology changes the followings are covered under this phase: * Post go-Live Support * Improve System performance

SAFARI Project preparation is the first and initial phase of the ASAP roadmap wherein you just start the project. You will perform activities such as preparation of the initial scope, high-level timelines and plans, project charters, identification of project team members, project kick-off, etc.

Business blueprint is the second phase in the implementation where you identify, and document business requirements and goals to prepare the foundation for future stages of the project. Ideally, you will organize business Requirement gathering workshops with the various business/functional users of the company, lead them through the discussion with structured business functionality questionnaires, understand their existing business processes, and identify and document their requirements in the wake of this new implementation. A sign-off at the end of the phase ensures an agreement to move forward outlining the scope of the project. It is understood that whatever is explicitly stated in the business blueprint document is the only scope; no implied scope will be considered for system configuration in the next phase.

Realization is the third phase where the implementing team breaks down the Business processes identified in the second phase and configures the SAP settings. Initially, you will do a Baseline Configuration, test the system functionality and if necessary make changes to the baseline configuration, and close the phase with

Final Configuration, signaling that all the business processes have been captured and configured in the system.

Final Preparation is the penultimate phase in the project. This phase also serves to resolve all crucial open issues. A go-live check is also conducted to analyze whether the system has been properly configured. This phase is marked by the following activities: End-to-end testing of the configured system (User Acceptance Test - UAT) Training of the end users (Usually follows the following activities: End-to-testing of the configured system (User Acceptance Test - UAT) Training of the end users (Usually follows the concept Train-the-Trainer)

What are User Parameters? SAP provides a way of lessening your day-to-day data entry operations by facilitating default entries for fields, and bringing out the most suitable Display Variant for document display, document entry, open/line item processing, etc. The user parameters, also known as Editing Options, are a boon as they save time and result in greater accuracy as data entry errors are eliminated with the default values. You can, among many alternatives, set: 1. The system to default the exchange rate from the first line item. 2. A preference so that the user does not process any special GL transactions or foreign currency transactions. 3. That the document needs to be complete before it is parked. 4. The system to calculate the tax component on the net invoice and not on the gross.

5. Your document currency either as the local currency or as the one used in the last document. the gross. 5. Your document currency either as the local currency or as the one used in the last document. FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger This submodule is used to provide the summary information from multiple applications at a level of detail that the user defines. FI-LC Legal Consolidations This submodule helps in the central task of combining the financial operating results of the companies within a group to provide overall results for the group.
