Hi Murali

For any organisation, while implementing SAP, there are 6 Roadmap which defines different phases of implementation process. Out of six, Business Blue Print is the second phase as detailed below:

1. Project Preparation

:
· Initial planning & preparation for SAP implementation project.
· Define project goals & identify scope of project (ie: identify which biz process we want to map into SAP & the modules & functionality we are going to use for each module.
· Define Landscapes and teams.
· Project Kick -off

2. Business Blue Print

:
· We identify the requirements perform re-engineering & record the requirements to be delivered by SAP.
· Identify Base line scope (80% of the project deliverables) & Master data, Q & A Database & Workshops.
· Develop system environment, biz organization structure, biz process definition, Currencies and chart of Accounts.

3. Realization Phase

: Project management realization phase.
· Implement all the documented requirements in biz blue print, perform integrated tests & setup system for productive operation
· It’s divided into Baseline configuration phase, Final configuration phase, Unit testing phase & Integration testing Phase.
· Create Forms, reports, Test Plans & conduct Workshops.

4. Final Preparation

:
· End user training.
· Checking of setting for O/P, Printing and associated hardware.
· Cut – over and Back – up support.

5. Go – Live & Support

:
· Checking for transaction data.
· Project team accompanies till productive system stabilizes.
· Project management prepares for acceptance from client management.

6. End Project

:

· Assessment of specified & achieved biz process.

· Responsibility passed on to clients IT Department.

Hi Murali,

For doing an implementation, we generally use ASAP methodology.

Presently SAP recommends Solution Manager to do all the process in an easier mode.

Coming to your question Business Process,

We have to tell how the business is executed in the company.

For example if we take the case of a confectionary company, they can sell the products through direct sale , distributor, and different ways.

We have to tell what standard SAP Processes we had used to meet that type of process.

If we come across a mela or tradde fair which the company may organise for some reasons , we do the same with cash sales.

Similarly we can also add free goods process to explain that we had used this technique in our business process.

Award points if it adds information.

Thanks

Mohan
