SAP LAND SCAPE-HOW TO DESIGN SAP LAND SCAPE

SAP Modules
SAP stands for Systems Applications and Products. It is the name of both an online financial and administrative software and the company that developed it. SAP is made up of individual, integrated software modules that perform various organizational system tasks. MIT has customized and implemented the SAP modules that best suit its organizational needs.

SAP LANDSCAPE

It is very important to every one on the implementaion project team to understand the SAP system environment used on the project .Some as an instance refers to a system environment.Others will some times refer to client as an instance.In this environment and instance used to refer to different systems,such as developement,quality assurance/testing environment and production.In some cases ,sap term may have,or may seem to have,more than one meaning,depending on which part of the system you are working in.

One such term is client as defined in the enterprise structure, it means the organisation for which SAP is being configured.(For example TATA GROUP OF COMPANIES).When defined in business terms ,client means the different installation of sap used for specific purposes. Really, these are the same things, but it is difficult to understand the client concept in this light when you are just starting out in SAP.In the standarad project setting ,there will be three environments.

THE DEVELPOEMEN ENVIRONMENT.

THE QUALITY ENVIRONMENT.

THE PRE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.

THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.

Environments and Clients
An SAP environment is a completely self-contained version of the SAP database, designated for a specific purpose. As an SAP end-user, you will be working in the Production, Practice, and Training environments.

A client is a self-contained unit in an SAP R/3 system with its own separate master records and set of tables. You don't need to remember what client to use on Production; simply accept whatever the system defaults to on startup.

The following table lists the SAP system icons in the SAP Front-end folder and their use. As an end-user, you will probably be using only the highlighted servers for your work in SAP. They are described below.

System name System client Server name Environment PS1 same same same 030 same same same Production-1 Production-2 Production-3 (future expansion) Production-Batch (limited use) Production (see below) SF2 025 Sap-dev Development - new programs are developed and tested before they are transported to the Quality Assurance environment (SF5). Routine system maintenance is also done here. SF3 030 Sap-staging1 Staging - staging and security by R/3 admin. SF5 030 Sap-tst Quality Assurance - all system modifications and developments are completely tested here before going to the production environment. SF6 030 Sap-edu Practice (see below) SF7 100 Sap-training Training (see below) SF8 SF9 025 030 Sap-prototype1 Sap-prototype2 Prototype - experimental and possibly disruptive configuration and business process modifications are done here.

Production (PS1)
The Production environment is where actual financial transactions take place and contains the "data of record" for MIT. The Production environment runs on several application servers: Production-1 and Production-2. If your school or non-academic department begins with A-L, choose Production 1. If your school or non-academic begins with M-Z, choose Production 2.

Production-1 and Production-2 are identical servers that share data and tables. Using multiple servers keeps the system from getting overloaded and provides a built-in backup in case one of the servers becomes unavailable. Production-3 has been reserved for future use. Production-Batch is used only for running batch jobs such as JV uploading or long reports.

Practice (SF6)
The Practice environment has the same functions and transactions as the Production environment, but contains specially created data to support practice exercises for SAP training classes such as Reporting and Basic Skills.

Training (SF7)
The Training environment also has the same functions and transactions as the Production environment, but contains specially created data for training examples and exercises. You will only use this environment when participating in SAP Training classes that are not conducted in SF6.

SAP Financial Terminology
Before you work in SAP, you need to understand SAP financial terminology. In SAP there are three types of cost objects: Cost Center, Internal Order, and WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) Element.

Cost Center:	General or operating accounts are known in SAP as Cost Centers. Cost Centers are budgeted on the fiscal year.
Internal Order:	MIT Fund Accounts may be either Internal Orders or WBS Elements in SAP. A non-sponsored Fund Account (e.g., funding from the MIT Provost) is an Internal Order. A sponsored fund account (carrying a 4-digit sponsor code, e.g., a corporate fellowship program) is a WBS Element. These cost objects are used to track expenses for a particular activity. They are not tied to the fiscal year and some receive interest income.
WBS Element:	Research Accounts are WBS Elements in SAP. WBS Elements are funded by outside sponsors and are used to track costs of a particular research project over the entire span of its activity.
G/L Account:	G/L accounts are also called Cost Elements in SAP. They are a classification by expense or revenue type. In the CO (Controlling) module of SAP, cost element is used. In the FI (Financial) module, G/L account is used. These terms are used interchangeably for reporting, requisitions, and journal vouchers.

The following table compares the classic MIT terminology with the SAP equivalents. MIT Accounts are now referred to as cost objects in SAP.

Classic MIT		SAP
TYPE	RANGE	TYPE	RANGE
General Account	13300-19999	Cost Center	1330000-1999999
Fund Account: Non-sponsored Sponsored	20000-49999	Internal Order or WBS Element*	1900000-4999999
Research Account	50000-99999	WBS Element	5000000-9999999
Department Number	xxxxxx	Profit Center	Pxxxxxx
Object Code	xxx	General Ledger Account or G/L Account (also called Cost Element)	xxxxxx
Parent / Child Accounts		Projects Functional for WBS Elements only
NOTES: Most (but not all) accounts below 13300 (i.e., balance sheet accounts) are Internal Orders. *Non-sponsored fund accounts are Internal Orders. Sponsored fund accounts are WBS Elements.

Transactional Data
Transactional data is data related to a single business event such as a purchase requisition or a request for payment.

When you create a requisition, for example, SAP creates an electronic document for that particular transaction. SAP gives the transaction a document number and adds the document to the transaction data that is already in the system. Whenever you complete a transaction in SAP, that is, when you create, change, or print a document in SAP, this document number appears at the bottom of the screen.

WHAT IS SAP R/3-from SAP Master

SAP R/3 Functionality

R/3 software allows the integration of all of a company’s business operations in an overall system for planning, controlling and monitoring. Over 1000 ready-made business processes are available, that include best business practices that reflect the experiences, suggestions and requirements of leading companies in a host of industries.

SAP Release 5.00 ECC (The latest in SAP Software)

Possibilities with the New General Ledger in 5.0 ECC

• Today, R/3 customers have to install and operate a range of components in order to meet

international and/or industry-specific requirements and standards as completely as

possible.• In fact, the situation is becoming more complex, because service companies (in the public

sector, insurance, and media sectors, for example) are demanding balance sheets based on

additional criteria – such as grant, fund, or industry.• Of course, the increasing importance of IAS as accounting rules is also boosting demand for better quality and modeling of segment reporting.

• What’s more, a unified solution would also be useful to deal with the requirements for fast close, Sarbanes-Oxley and reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

The following are new in 5.0 ECC

o New General Ledger with reduced total cost of ownership (Faster Close etc.)

o Profit Center Accounting is eliminated and is now part of New GL

o Cost of Sales accounting is now part of New GL

o Special Purpose Ledger is now part of New GL

o Reconciliation Ledger is eliminated and is now part of New GL

o Segment reporting

o And much more…
