Define Implementation Standards and Procedures

Define System Configuration Standards Define Testing Strategies Define Post Implementation Service and Support Strategy Define System Authorisation Standards for Project Team Define Change Request Management Define System Enhancement and Modification Approval Process Define ABAP Development Standards Define Support Package Strategy Define Upgrade Strategy

The purpose of this activity is to establish the overall implementation standards andProcedures for the project. Some of these elements should be established by theTechnical members of the project team and others by the business of functionalMembers. It is important to address the implementation standards during phase 1to establish clearing guidelines regarding:• Overall Configuration standards for the project• Initial System Authorisation Standards• How System Enhancements are handled• How and when testing occurs

The purpose of Phase 2 : Business Blueprint

The purpose of this phase is to create the Business Blueprint, which is a detaileddocumentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. TheBusiness Blueprint details are agreed business process requirements of the company.It documents the common understanding of how the company intends to run itsBusiness within SAP System.

During the phase, you also:

Refine the original project goals and objectives Define the Baseline scope Refine the overall project schedule and implementation sequence

Business Process Definition

Page 14: SAP Asap Methodology

April 18, 2023 14

After the definition of the organizational structure, you define the business processes of the Company in terms of the R/3 System.

The Q&Adb is the tool supporting the definition of the business process. You can use The CI (Customer Input) template and the business process questions within the Q&Adb to support the preparation and completion of the business process definition. For detailed analysis, you can access external tools for modeling the business processes via the Q&Adb.

Generating the Business Blueprint give you the company’s business processrequirements in one document.

Generating the Business Process Master List gives you the business processeswhich are in scope for Customizing in the Realization Phase.

Testing in the Realization Phase

Unit Testing – This is the lowest level of testing where the program or transaction istested and evaluated for errors. Unit testing is normally the first test that is completedDuring the configuration effort, and is focused towards the program’s inner functions,Rather than towards integration.

Scenario Testing – During the configuration there is a need to test chains of transactions that flow together and which reflect important business processes and scenarios.

Integration Testing – Final integration testing is accomplished through the execution ofpredefined business flows, or scenarios, that emulate how the system will run your Business. These business flows, using migrated data from the pre-existing systems,will be performed in a multifaceted computing environment comprised or R/3, third-party software, system interfaces and various hardware and software components.It is this environment that builds the necessary level of need to be an evolutionaryprocess that is driven from your previous testing efforts. The test cases and scenariosThat were used for Baseline and Final Configuration need to be reviewed and enhanced for the integration testing.

End user documentation and training was developed in Phase 3. This included

setting up standards and review process for training content and documentation development, in addition to defining an evaluation and improvement process denoting power and other users in order to define, with the help of the training and and development plan, the necessary training for production.

Considerations in the logistics area include planning of training facilities, and producing copies of the end user documentation and other training material.

Important: End user training and the preparation of training material are often the most time consuming and costly aspect of the system implementation. Changes in the procedure can influence considerably the time and costs of an R/3 implementation.

Page 29: SAP Asap Methodology

April 18, 2023 29

    The Customizing Management System (CMS) manages the transport requests in the R/3-System in relation to an assigned Customizing Project.

    In the CMS, you can use the transport requests to copy SAP objects from one system, such as the development system, to a target system, such as the production system.

    You can also use the client copy function to copy SAP objects from one client (development client) to another client (training client) of the system as defined by a transport request. The system settings of the Customizing transactions are automatically recorded in transport requests. It is assumed that the client has been set correctly.

The Purpose of Phase 5 : Go Live & Support

The purpose of this phase is to move from a pre production environment to live production operation. You must set up a support organization for end users, not just for the first critical days of your production operations, but also to provide long term support.

During this phase, end users of the SAP system have many questions. There must be a solid end user support organization easily accessible to all end users. This phase is also used to monitor system transactions and to optimize overall system performance. Finally, the completed project is closed.
