SAP STAR GAP Analysis Example

SAP STAR GAP Analysis example

For Example that the Client wants to configure in such a way that while performing Material determination he wants to swap the materials by Customers description ( given in Customer Material Information Record)which is not a functionality of SAP.For this you will be creating the field in the Field Catalogue for creating Material determination table with the help of user E xits.(ABAP Consultants) 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 analysis is time consuming and itit plays vital vital role in blue print stage. stage. The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific. Examples In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy customer number which can be solved with User exit. In sales order we need customer Phone number, we can use user exit If client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station. GAP analysis is done in Blue Print stage. It aims to understand what can be done with the standard SAP and how the client actually wants a particular scenario to be processed. Its an understanding of the of the GAP between the actual & required scenarios. Tthe difference between agreed work and completed work is GAP Analysis. E.g.: To Fill This Gap, We Use The Enhancements,These Enhancements Divided Into Exits, Like User e xits, Field Exits Screen Exits &  Menu Exits.These Enhancements are used to update the standard program in its Respective Business Transactions, Used as a Gateway to Meet the Client Requirements.

EXAMPLE -The client requirement is 3 new incoterms required to calculate freight charges to customers. Incoterms need to be maintain in customer master data correctly. Solution option 1-(high level description)-suggest to create 3 new incoterms like1. ZFC -Freight country india 2. ZFM -Freight metropolitan 3. ZFR -Freight rush order  Then assign these 3 new incoterms to the customer master  record,using the existing key combination sales org/DC/Incoterms,use the existing access seqence and create new condition record for the freight condition.  AS a result result Incoterm is is autometically autometically populated populated in the the order  entry screen which avoids the manual workby order  management,thus increase order processing efficiency & minimum errors . Solution option 2Manual entry of the incoterms at the time of the creation of  sales order .

Therefore ,with the above analysis we do not recommend using the manual method ,So solution option 1 has used for this gap. thanks manojkumarguin
