There is no way you compare ASAP & SOLMAN.

ASAP: SAP Implementation Methodology.

SOLMAN: Tool provided by SAP (Mostly for the Documentation/Project Management purpose), a Kind of Central repository.

Just to make the difference clear ASAP is an SAP implementation methodology whereas SM is a tool. SM also use ASAP as amethododlgy for implementation.

SM is tool for your SAP PLM as well.

Let me tell your about their generic difference so that you can differentiate suitably.

The Shift from ASAP to Solution Manager started like this:

<b>ASAP -

---

> VALUE SAP -

---

> SOLUTION MANAGER</b>

<b>ASAP:</b>

It is a set of offline CD's with tools content and a methodology for component based implementation.

<b>SOLUTION MANAGER:</b>

Benefits are :1) A online platform is provided to take care of key implementation activities. 2)Includes the key ASAP concepts and the tool features. 3)Integerated platform to support implementation and operation of SAP solutions. 4)Takes a consistent business-process and phase-oriented approach. 5)Contains best practices for implementation in templates, operation and optimization of SAP solutions.6) E-learning for End Users improvised.

Award points if this information helps.

Thanks
