HI Gopalarao.,
ASAP METHODOLOGY:
ASAP is a clearly defined implementation strategy that ensures customers a quick & predictable implementation, regardless of size or complexity of environment.
Accelerated SAP (ASAP) is the implementation solution provided by SAP. ASAP integrates several components that work in conjunction to support rapid & efficient implementation of the SAP R/3 system, Industry Solutions & New Dimension Products. The components that make up sap are:
• Methodology: the ASAP road map defines the phases of implementation process & supports these with a comprehensive project plan. The project plan comprises MS project templates providing complete work break down structures & resource assignments.

• Assemble project charter components: prepare a doc that consolidates the mission stat, business drivers, business measurements & project measurements.
• Approve project charger: reach agreement between company executive mgmt, project sponsor, project team unanimously.
what, how, when. –• Project charter: sap project manager Customer mgmt
• Accelerators: project charter & sample project charter
Define Implementation Standards:
Define system configuration standards3
Define testing strategies
Define post implementation support strategy
Define system authorization standards for project team
Define system enhancement & modification approval process
Kick off meeting
Business Blue Print:
Business blue print is a detailed documentation of the results gathered during the requirement workshop. The purpose of this work package is to define the organizational structure using SAP organizational units, such as company code, sales orgn, etc.
On the basis of business blue print, you will achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run their business with in the R/3 system.
Tasks:
• Schedule organisation structure workshop

• Conduct organisation structure work shop (to give structure to logistics & FI enterprise process area)
• Recommend & approve organisation structure.
Accelerators:
• Organisation structure presentations
• Structure modeling
• Sample scope document
• Output: documented organisation structure for the company
• Outcome: the orgn structure is signed off & is ready to be implemented.
Associated Items:
Question, CI templates, BP transaction, QUser role & Sap DocumentationProject Documentation A data base Business Process Master List.
Collect the requirements from the client (i.e. how many sales orgn they want i.e. how do you operate country wise or region wise). For this SAP provides templates, it is a tool, which contains frequently asked questions.
QADB: question & answer database
BPML: Business Process Master List: demo given to steering committee

Gap Analysis.
Realization:
The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business & process requirements based on business blue print.
You customize the system step by step in 2 work packages: Base Line Configuration & Final Configuration.
• Base Line Configuration: this phase comprises the priority requirements of the enterprise, ensuring that they can be implemented quickly. This phase can be completed without programming or enhancements to SAP systems.
• Final Configuration: in this phase you confirm that all your requirements are met in the R/3 system. Final configuration is a transportation process that expands that base line solution.
• Unit testing
• Integration testing: cross functional
• End user training material documentation.
Final Preparation:
In this phase, you complete testing, end user training, system management & cut over activities to finalize your readiness to go live.
• Stress & Volume Tests: plans for confirming the production hardware’s capabilities.
• Cut Over Plan: the details of how to move to the prodn envn & go live
• E.U. Training: delivery of the necessary levels of R/3 training prior to going live & evaluating end user training evaluation data.
• Final approval
Go Live & Support:
Transition from a project oriented, preproduction envn to successful & live production operation. Ensuring system performance through SAP monitoring & feed back.
Go Live & Support: Production support & Project End (officially close the project)
functional consultants involve from blue print,But a senior functional consultants involve from project preparation phase
REWARD if helpfull
Thanks & Regards
