Transportation is an essential element in the logistics chain. It affects both incoming and outgoing goods. Effective transportation planning and processing ensure that shipments are dispatched without delay and arrive on schedule. Transportation costs play an essential role in the calculation of the price of a product. It is important to keep these transportation costs to a minimum so that the price of a product remains competitive. Efficient transportation planning and processing helps to keep these costs down.
Integration As illustrated in the following graphic, you can use the SAP transportation functions to plan and process: · Incoming shipments in Materials Management based on purchase orders and shipping notifications · Outbound shipments in Sales and Distribution based on sales orders and deliveries The graphic below illustrates this process:

Transfer of PRICAT-Messages (SD-MD-PL) Use This business process allows you to export a logical message type PRICAT from R/3 to an external system, via ALE and IDocs, or to import it from an external system. (R/3 supports both EANCOM standard message type PRICAT and ANSI X12 transaction set 832.) This is useful, for example, if you want to: · Send a complete or partial list of your product offering (including prices) to your customers · Send your data to a central database in PRICAT message format so that it is available so that authorized customers and suppliers can access it. · Receive automatic notification of new or updated product and pricing information from your suppliers or from a central database.
Price catalog information for export includes the description, information about prices and pricing conditions (including taxes), and logistics information for each product. It can contain either general product information valid for all customers, or customer-specific information, such as special conditions. You can also specify a timeframe for which the price catalog is valid.

Use Intensive test phases, with function and acceptance tests in all phases, are essential to the success of an R/3 project. This starts with the first implementation of an SAP System and continues through all modifications of the system to customer requirements by customizing, modification and customer developments. SAP provides the Test Workbench to support customers in this area. From the test planning stage onwards, the Test Organizer in the Test Workbench provides a tool to create a structure of the applications to be tested. Individual test cases can be created when planning is complete.
Use the Computer Aided Test Tool [Ext.] (CATT) in the Test Workbench. Test cases can be descriptions for manual tests, or test case scripts which are to be performed automatically. The test cases created can be put in the outline structure created during planning, in the Test Organizer. This provides a constant overview of the progress of test case creation.

In order to translate in the R/3 System, you will need to maintain the translation environment. You set up the translation environment in transactions SLWA and SLWB. Implementation Considerations Before you start maintaining the translation environment, you should: · provide or extend system resources - please see System Resource Setup [Page 10] · perform administrative measures and preparation - please see Administrative Measures [Page 11] The translation environment must be defined before the start of productive translation. Integration After you have completed the above preparation, you start maintaining the translation environment in transaction SLWA.
Transaction SLWA is used to maintain the control tables for translation and to set up the translation environment. Authorization for some of the functions used in SLWA depend on: · the profile S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNR, which is only assigned to administrators - this is assigned in the user master record · the authorizations assigned to users in the translator profile in transaction SLWA itself.

Usually, they do not know what the SAP upgrade is and what it entails. But an upgrade is not something to fear. The goal of this document is to demystify the upgrade process. This document also points out the various resources available to you concerning your upgrade. For this document to be database–, operating-system–, and releaseindependent, we do not repeat instructions from the various referenced documents and manuals. Think of this document as a compilation of various tips, tricks, and explanations to help make your upgrade easier.
The term ‘mySAP Technology’ encompasses SAP Basis and other technologies. You Can Perform the Upgrade Yourself SAP intends that you (the customer) be able to perform an upgrade by yourself. While upgrading SAP components is not as simple as entering upgrade.exe and having the rest of the process run automatically, it is not a complex problem. However, upgrading SAP components can be an involved project. If you have an adequate number of experienced mySAP Technology and functional/business process team members, you should be able to perform the upgrade with little or no external help. Be realistic. If you do not have the proper staff to do an upgrade yourself, get the assistance of your consulting partner. In any case, you should have your consulting partner on-call if any problems arise. Key Success Factors A few key success factors to performing an upgrade successfully are: Discipline Planning Teamwork

RFC with External Systems In the SAP System, the ability to call remote functions is provided by the Remote Function Call (RFC) interface. This interface allows for remote calls between two SAP Systems (R/3 as of Release 2.1 and R/2 as of Release 5.0D), or between an SAP System and a non-SAP system. The present section describes how to write RFC partner programs that run in non-SAP Systems. If you are writing RFC programs in an SAP System, see RFC-Programming in ABAP [Ext.]. Client and Server Programs RFC programs for non-SAP Systems can function as either the caller or the called program in an RFC communication. There are two kinds of RFC programs: RFC client and RFC server programs: The RFC client is the instance that calls up the RFC to execute the function which is provided by an RFC server.
In the following, the functions that can be executed remotely will be called RFC functions, and the functions provided by the RFC API will be called RFC calls. How to implement external RFC programs You have two options for implementing external RFC programs:
• Use programs generated by the RFC Interface Generator (see The RFC Generator [Ext.]. These are stub programs you can install on your workstation or PC to call up SAP function modules. The RFC Interface Generator in the SAP System lets you generate the stubs and download them to your machine.

The function library in R/3 provides a facility for generating and then downloading RFC programs to a workstation or PC. This facility is the RFC Interface Generator. With this tool, you can create RFC stub programs (that call SAP function modules) and example programs (that show how to call stub programs). The RFC Generator is only available for and in R/3 Systems and not for R/2 Systems. Generating RFC Stubs: RFC stub programs contain all the parameter-handling and communications necessary to call SAP function modules from a non-SAP System. Once a stub has been exported to your machine, you can compile it as a library file or DLL (dynamic-link library) routine. DLL routines can be called without having been linked together with your program at compile time. You can call DLL routines from any programming language whose compiler offers DLL options. (This includes, for example, most recent C and BASIC compilers.)
Generating Example Programs: The RFC Interface Generator provides example programs for different programming languages. Both ANSI C and Visual Basic are supported. With Release 3.0, RFC client example programs as well as RFC server example programs are provided for these programming languages. The list of example programs will be extended in later releases. The list at the end of this chapter shows in detail which example programs are provided in which release. To view the list of example programs that you can actually generate use the F4 Help key or press the value button when editing the generation settings. The procedure to generate an example program is always the same.

Use Processes which cover more than one time zone primarily affect logistic functions such as availability checks, production planning, delivery scheduling, statistics and service provision, but they also affect financial accounting in areas such as treasury, inter-company transactions, and so on. This function enables you to use dates and times that are comparable and exchangeable in applications that are implemented worldwide. For time-related applications, the SAP system can use local dates and times for proposed dates and validations (for example, to ensure that a requested delivery date is not in the past).
Time Zone Management in Global Systems Global Application Generally, users think and act in terms of their local time, and they also expect to use their local time in business transactions. When the SAP System is used for global transactions that span time zones, business partners and systems will have different local times. These differences in local times can lead to problems such as late postings and missed batch runs.

Time Management (PT) and Payroll (PY) components are closely linked in the R/3 System. The processing of time data for determining the gross wage takes place in the gross part of payroll. Subschema xT00 (x=country indicator) is used to process Time Management aspects within Payroll. These include: Creating the personal work schedule and, if necessary, importing the planned working times It is possible that differences between the times from the personal work schedule and the planned times may affect the monetary valuation of work performed.
This may happen if an employee has substituted for another employee, for example. · Forming partial period factors; see also Partial Period Calculations (Factoring) [Ext.] · Forming valuation bases; see also Valuating Wage Types Using Valuation Bases [Ext.] · Selecting time wage types for overtime, bonuses, and hourly wages, that is, day processing of time data using schema TC00 ( time wage type selection: international) or TC04 (time wage type selection: international for time recording without clock times)
