Hello,

1. AS IS process - Study of the existing process.

2. To be process mapping - What will be the new process.

3. customizaiton in SAP + devepment - Customization like company codes, plants etc based on the To be process. And master data upload.

4. Unit testing - Testing of each and every module separatly

5. Full testing - Full system testing. In this step all steps are integrated so, it is also known as Integration testing.

6. End-user training - Training for the Power user (first line users) by the SAP Consultants. They will in turn train to other users.

7. Go-live - Creation of first PO or Invoice

8. Support for initial month-ends. - First month-end closing, this is very much critical as FI/CO point of view.

9. Ongoing support....
