For 12 years we have worked with SAP modules
writing reports extracting data from tables, modifying copies of existing
SAP transactions, loading data into SAP modules, helping functional analysts
configure SAP and configuring SAP modules.
We have gained a deep knowledge
of the complex interactions of data within SAP. If we
don't know how to configure something it normally only takes us a few hours of
research to find out.
We are very familiar with SPRO and can configure most areas of most modules. Many times after helping the functional
analyst they mention that we could be a functional analyst in their area.
In past SAP implementations we have resolved literally hundreds of issues for
the functional teams through troubleshooting, debugging and research.
Here at home we
have hundreds of SAP books and
training materials and so if we do not have experience configuring an area
we can can find how by researching our training materials or by reasearching SAP
OSS notes and other online resources.
Output determination is the name used to describe the technology that delivers most
reports in SAP. Most modules can be configured to print various canned reports.
And new reports may be added also through output determination.
We understand this underlying technology and so we are able to troubleshoot problems
when they occur, we are able to configure new reports and modify
existing reports.
So many times functional consultants have come to us for help in this and other
areas.
The condition technique is used in many areas in SAP to determine values such as pricing, accounts, customers, materials, etc. We understand this technology
and have experience using it in pricing, account determination, message determination,
text determination and many other areas.
We can configure and troubleshoot SAP modules because we understand and have experience
using the theory and the tables behind the configuration.
We have loaded millions of records of master data. We understand and have
experience with the SAP tables and how they relate to each other. We can troubleshoot
problems related to master data and quickly resolve issues.
When SAP implementations have problems they call on us to troubleshoot and resolve
the issues. Using
trace methods and debugging we are able to quickly resolve
problems.
So many times our clients remind us that once again we saved the day.
One time we were working along side of an IBM team and the IBM project manager said
that our productivity and expertise was like having 10 IBM ABAP consultants onsite.
One AspenTech SAP manager said Gordon's productivity was like having 7 SAP Platinum
consultants onsite.
When things don't work right, clients call on us to troubleshoot and debug SAP transactions and reports to determine solutions.
Because of our experience with SAP,
with ABAP, the debugger and tracing options in SAP, we are able to quickly find
problems.
So many many times SAP implementation teams have called on us to debug applications
to find missing configuration or faulty master data and other issues.
We can help resolve printing problems. Our knowledge and experience with output
determination, the SPAD transaction, SAPScript and SMARTFORMS enables us to quickly
resolve printing issues.
