SAP implementation of five stages

Project preparation, blueprint design, system implementation, on-line preparation, system switching and on-line support



Implementation of the five stages: project preparation, blueprint design, system implementation, on-line preparation, system switching and on-line support

Generally, no matter what kind of project implementation methodology, the overall project implementation process is basically the same, I gave everyone in the classroom did some explanation, that is the five stages of project implementation: project preparation, blueprint design, system implementation, on-line preparation, system switching and on-line support. Now I were introduced at all stages of the task in terms of FICO which:

 1. Project Preparation: This stage is usually considered in terms of a summary of the preliminary work project to project kick-off meetings for the end of the flag, which includes the project plan, project charter, organizational structure, staff responsibilities, ad hoc working environment and so the set, this time consultants have not even fully into the project, the project kick-off meetings are usually open when the consultant arrived at the scene to attend to.

 2. Blueprint Design: This phase was completed for customers in the future process design, as FICO consultant, you have to do have the following main points:

 A. Conceptual training: KEY USER and IT USER for a SAP FICO OVERVIEW training, this training is usually based on IDES systems, mainly for customers to grasp the basic concepts of SAP, the SAP operation mode of operation and have a basic understanding.

 B. status of research: the general ledger, accounts receivable, payable, fixed assets, cost accounting and other financial plan and the status of sub-functions of the survey, detailed understanding of customer needs in all aspects of this phase to be regular communication between the consultant, which can be morecomprehensive grasp of customer needs.

 C. Blueprint Design: Comparison of existing processes and the gap between the SAP standard processes, usually the more standard financial processes, for special needs, especially considering what you can. This phase of the consultant to write a blueprint document, the client and the consultant is the biggest stage of the conflict, the key to success is to guide customers to reduce customer project unrealistic expectations, and so on.

 This stage of the primary consultant is concerned, is extremely painful, you have to spend a lot of time in the amateur to prepare a lot of unknown things, allow customers to believe you, only well prepared, and these need a lot of energy into.
3 system implementation: a blueprint for this phase to the process involved in the design, implementation in the SAP system to give more technical aspects of the work, that is, system configuration, the configuration after the end of an internal consultant to conduct the test, the basic process after the test no problem for unit testing and integration testing, unit testing process is IT USER and KEY USER SAP master the starting point for more functional for the business of all business scenarios for functional testing, unit testing out of the document prepared by the KEY USER, records and results of the testing process, this document is the next stage of training, user training manual for a blueprint. This stage to focus on solving the KEY USER consultant to the various business processes in the system how the performance issue, but also on the KEY USER SAP hands-on training for the most important step. After completion of unit testing integration testing, integration testing can be conducted between the twenty-two module, the first small-scale integration to solve the various problems encountered, and then large-scale integration into the daily operation of enterprises involved in the main scene, From the sales forecast, sales orders, production planning, purchasing, inventory, production, sales, receivables, and so the business loop for the various stages of operation, the display of certificate information, documents circulation and so on. This part is mainly carried out by the KEY USER; this stage of the things you want to be responsible for:

A. Configure the system and other modules consultants and internal testing.



B. KEY USER together with unit testing, and the responsibility for solving problems arising in test



C. Training and IT USER KEY USER basic operation of the business process



D. KEY USER for integration testing, logistics operations department responsible for the interpretation of questions, and solve the interface problem



E. Setting permission roles (usually the template)



F. customers a variety of documents form the development and testing (and ABAP communication)

E. Setting permission roles (usually the template)



F. customers a variety of documents form the development and testing (and ABAP communication)





3. On-line preparation: this stage to do the main work is on-line data preparation and end-user training, data can be divided into static data and dynamic data, static data can be referred to as the primary data, such as customers, suppliers, materials, etc. etc., generate dynamic data for business information, such as customer balances, material inventory number, etc., for FICO consultant who will have to prepare the general ledger account is nothing more than static information, customers, suppliers, subject to the corresponding ascent, banking information, There is information about the price of materials, and various types of dynamic data is nothing more than an account of the account balance, at this stage as a FICO consultant you need to do is:





A. Provide information to key users to prepare the template, the template to interpret the meaning of each field



B. Check the quality of data preparation



C. KEY USER final training of the END USER, consultants responsible for support



D. This stage still have the configuration of the customer's specific needs, changes, etc.



E. on-line information system switching strategy





4. Switching systems and on-line support: This stage data from legacy systems to implement the new system into, for the logistics business, the material master data must first be imported into the system, then the BOM, ROUNTING, has not yet issued a receipt of purchase orders, production orders, sales orders not yet delivered, etc., for the financial part, the most important thing is the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers to the flat:



A. import time on-line financial information to the new system: for general ledger inventory account balances, and all materials must be detailed to the level of value, allowing the differences to the material cost variance account records, general ledger balances of fixed assets and fixed assets to be detailed on level, accounts payable ledger accounts pre-paid in advance to suppliers and customers for the balance of clear flat. CATT can usually get.



B. operating cost estimates, material generated from the system, the standard price, which moves the material logistics, cost information accurately reflected.



C. Nissin after on-line operation: on-line after all the logistics business resulting from the financial documents for inspection, to ensure proper logistics business and financial integration. Once a mistake, the day took place, the day of settlement, financial in particular, need to focus on sending and receiving warehouse is expected to operate, the wrong material prices, the use of mobile type of error, often have a greater financial impact, and this type of error must be corrected, if necessary, can take some of the incentives.



D. After the on-line monthly support: usually the first month of the SAP system on-line monthly statements of financial advisers on-site needs guidance, but when exposed in the monthly number of business problems to be corrected.



E. after the other on-line support: the system on line after about two weeks, the consultants leave the client company, since most of the support by telephone, EMAIL, VPN remote connection to be resolved. END USER question passed to the KEY USER and IT USER, IT USER as an internal consultant will gradually replace the FICO consultant role, they can not solve their own problems and then passed to the consultants, SAP consultants can not be resolved again to send MESSAGE, Request SAP global support, is such a help chain to ensure the normal operation of the SAP system.
