PROBLEM RELATED WITH GAPS

[Former Member]

Dear friend

What are the GAPS we will find when we are working with Textile Sector

Between To-Be and AS-IS methodology.

With Regards

<b>GAP Analysis:</b>

In simple terms: Gap means small cracks.A analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications ( Eg: existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do and for each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and resolved. 1) GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed close the gap;2) GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required;3) GAP does not need to be closed.

In textile industry suppose Arvind Mills is implementing SAP and here for example: In a Make To Order scenario, Individual lot size have to be combined for an SKU and SAP does not support this. So this is a Gap and you need to customize it for a solution.

reward points if helpful

thanks

Hello Sankalp...

GAP Analysis

A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.

In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.

Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.

Cut Over Plans

Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.

Train Users

Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis.

The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.

Examples:

1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.

2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
