Hi,

Simply Gap Is Nothing But,

Client Requirement Doesn’t Meet With The SAP Application,

The Distance Between Actual And Existing/Supporting,

E.g.: On Purchase Of Material-X, The Other Material Will Get 50% Discount, Which Sap Doesn’t Support,

Commission Paid To The Agent Also , Not Supported In SAP,

To Fill This Gap, We Use The Enhancements,

These Enhancements Divided Into Exits,

Like

User exits,

Field Exits

Screen Exits &

Menu Exits.

These Enhancements Used To Update The Standard Program In Its Respective Business Transactions, Used As A Gateway To Meet The Client Requirements.

Refer below

In n simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world or in Information Technology world, 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 Business BlueprintAS IS Process stage.

A through Gap Analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates and 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 auctioned,

1. GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed

2. GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required

3. GAP does not need to be closed.

A point worth mentioning here is that at time people confuse between user-exits and Gap Analysis. User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench, its not new functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the same code.

Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once business Blueprint is finished we have to find the realization of sap system for client requirement and there will be certain gaps when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system.

Reward points psl

One normal gap everycompany needs, that billing number ranges are to made based on plant in satandard number ranges are determined by company codewise, this should be done by user exit RV60AFZZ

hi,

a report required by business which is not available in standard is also a gap. We take the help of abapers and create a report. Other examples can be

1)addition of a field into a standard table

2)adding one more input field may be into material master

like we had a requirement to put max order quantity field in the material master sales org view in the quantity stipulations section. Standard provides on input field for Min order qty.

Here we did a screen modification.

3)we developed a Z transaction code to do PGI. so the standard sap process of doing PGI is to be prevented, for this we have implemented one user exit. In this z t.code we developed a module pool program which can allow us to add frieghts, generate spools for different outputs and deliveries at the same time.

Hi Vintha,

If you want maintain number ranges for billing documents based on plant,

1. You have to create one Z table with MANDT, WERKS and NUMKI.

2. Develope the required logic with help of your ABAPer in the exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in the include RV60AFZZ.

3. You create number ranges for billing and assign that number range to Plant combination using the tocde SM30.

Reward points pls.

Dear nitchel vintha,

Well there are some functionality which are given by SAP as a part of standard software. When we visit the client w realize that the standard functionality provided by SAP cannot take of the business Process of the client. This is known as GAP.

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.

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.

Do let me know in case of any queries.

Hope this helps you.

Do award points if you found them useful.
