SAP Analysis
- What is the “as-is” situation in my SAP system?
Businesses require a high degree of transparency in order to implement or-ganizational, legal or technical changes in the SAP system quickly and efficiently. In other words, the ”clearer” the system is, the simpler it is to perform changes, such as enhancements or upgrade projects. An “x-ray” of this kind affords an overview of system and process sequence (non-)usage.
This type of analysis is necessary for various different scenarios within a com-pany: The Situation Analysis helps to determine an SAP system’s “as-is si-tuation” in as short a time as possible.
- Which objects, reports, programs, etc. are not being used in my system?
The purpose of an analysis for the preparation of a Release Upgrade is to iden-tify unused objects (transactions, reports, organizational units, document types, etc.), in order to delete these from the system and improve the efficiency of the release upgrade or the pertinent tests.
- What are the differences and similarities in my SAP systems?
Consolidation preparation identifies both similarities – which are normally not critical– as well as differences in two different systems or organizational units. It’s important to focus on the differences in more detail, since firstly, these determine whether migration is even possible, and secondly, specify how complex consoli-dation will ultimately be.
- How do I map the processes in the SAP Solution Manager automatically?
The SAP Solution Manager is a tool SAP provides for structurally depicting com-pany processes in a process model– via the Business Process Repository. Auto-matic determination of the “as-is situation” (in the model described) facilitates ac-cess and usage of the SAP Solution Manager, making a tedious, manual evaluation unnecessary.
- How do I create system documentation?
Documentation is often neglected in software products. Adequate documentation of system settings is frequently just not supplied. Documentation outside of the SAP system enables access to this documentation at any time, as well as providing “backup” in case of major system problems.
- How do the others do things?
Comparisons or benchmarks with other, “similar“ companies can provide valuable information on the extent to which the system operates “better” or “worse” than other systems.
