hi,

here i am sending some documents what is the duty of asap and solution manager i think with ucan understand the difference.

asap means,

ASAP

ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the mostefficient

manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources,using a proven

methodology to implementation.

ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented roadmap for guiding

implementation.

The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:

Phase 1 Project Preparation

Phase 2 Business Blueprint

Phase 3 Realization

Phase 4 Final Preparation

Phase 5 Go-Live and support

In today's post we will discuss the first phase.

Phase 1 : Project Preparation

Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important time to assemblethe

necessary components for the implementation. Some important milestones that need to beaccomplished

for phase 1 include

Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support


2/27

identifying clear project objectives

architecting an efficient decision-making process

creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering

building a qualified and capable project team.

Senior level management support:

One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement andcooperation of the

important company decision-makers - key stakeholders and others. Their backing and support iscrucial for a

successful implementation.

Clear project objectives:

be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture. Vague or unclear notions of

what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the implementation process. Also make sure thatyour

expectations are reasonable considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearlydefined

ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.

An efficient decision making process:

One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-making process.Before

embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly identified. Decide now who isresponsible for

different decisions along the way. From day one, the implementation decision makers and projectleaders

from each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions quickly.

Environment suitable for change and re engineering:

Your team must be willing to accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going tochange, the

business will change, and information technology enabling the business will change as well. By


3/27

implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current practices to model more efficient or predefined

best business practices as espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progressof your

implementation.

Building a qualified project team:

Probably the most important milestone early in assembling a project team for the implementation.If you are

implementing the materials management and plant maintenance modules, you need to includepeople from

both of these departments. The team should also represent management as well as non

management or

"functional" personnel. Sometimes management is less aware of the day-to-day functions of anorganization,

including how implementing SAP will tactically influence those function

ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint

SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information about your company that is

necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in the form of questionnaires that aredesigned to probe

for information that uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve todocument the

implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially outlines your future businessprocesses and

business requirements. The kinds of questions asked are germane to the particular businessfunction, as

seen in the following sample questions:

1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?

2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?

Accelerated SAP question and answer database:


4/27

The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool designed to facilitatethe creation

and maintenance of your business blueprint. This database stores the questions and the answersand

serves as the heart of your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each

application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard across applicationsto

facilitate easier use by the project team.

Issues database:

Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This database stores anyopen concerns

and pending issues that relate to the implementation. Centrally storing this information assists ingathering

and then managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the cracks.You can

then track the issues in database, assign them to team members, and update the databaseaccordingly.

ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:

With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready to beginconfiguring SAP.

The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.

1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the baselineconfiguration.

2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your business and process

requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.

The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on the informationthat you

provided in your blueprint document. The remaining approximately 20% of your configuration that


5/27


6/27

concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live and more importantly, the

migration of data from your old system or systems to SAP.

Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress testing), and

integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy of your data and the

stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun testing back in phase 2, you do

not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an important time to perform preventative

maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance at your SAP system.

At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy. Preparation for

Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they start actively working on the new

SAP system.

ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:

The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live is another

matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if scenarios related not only

to the individual business processes deployed but also to the functioning of technology

underpinning these business processes and preparation for ongoing support, including

maintenance contracts and documented processes and procedures are essential

Adjust Roles and Profiles

Before you assign SAP standard roles and profiles to users, copy and specify them.

SAP delivers roles and profiles with default values. If they are missing, you must set the values inthe authorization objects yourself. Proceed as follows:

...

1. Load the roles/profiles from client 000 into your target client. You can:

Transport client 000 into your target client (roles and profiles)

Upload und Download (for roles in transaction PFCG)

RFC connection in transaction PFCG (for roles; menu path: MENU READ FROMOTHER SYSTEM WITH RFC). In this case, you must have set-up the RFC connection(transaction SM59).

2. Copy the roles/profiles into your namespace.

a. Choose Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG).

b. Enter a role name and choose Copy Role.

c. Enter the name of the new role in the To Role field.

d. Choose Copy All.

e. Save.

3. Complete missing values in the authorization objects.

a. Choose the Authorizations tab.

b. Choose ChangeAuthorization Data.

c. Enter your own values for the authorization objects, or double-click on theyellow traffic light.

The authorization objects appear with a green traffic light.

d.

When you double-click on the yellow traffic light, the value * appears. This grants full

authorization for this field of the authorization object.

e. Save.

f. Generate the authorization profile.

4. Assign the role to users.

a. Choose the Users tab.

b. Enter the user names.

c. Choose User Adjustment.

d. Save.

You can also assign the roles to the users, in the user maintenance (transaction SU01).
