Text Determination in SAP SDWhat is Texts ? Text is a small piece of formatted or unformatted text that is functionally used to describe or note information in master data and Transactional Data. For example, a temperature sensitive material ( say a bio-reagent ) needs to be kept under freezing temperatures always. Although there is another field called Storage Conditions to denote this, we can use a text field with more specific comments so that the folks selling this material can ensure that they always inform the customer that they need to have storage facilities for the same. Since the information in this case is used to inform sales agents, it can be a “Sales Text” |

Now, its not just enough that the material master contains this text. We will also have to ensure that the sales agents creating orders for this material has visibility to the same text. That means that the sales order should also have texts that can show the same. And since this text is specific to the specific material, this text needs to be part of the line item not the sales order header. continue reading…
What is SAP
SAP stands for Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing. Designed and developed by 5 IBM engineers during the 1970s as a standards based software alternative to custom built ERP software, SAP has come a long way. SAP has been in the forefront of ERP software ever since.
SAP develops ERP products to be used by companies to manage their enterprise. This includes managing their day to day operations, logistics, finances, month end, quarter end and yearly activities, reporting, HR etc. Although there are a couple of other ERP vendors who do the same, the key differentiator for SAP is the way in which SAP integrates all these operations and makes for a seamless system that is both easy to use and at the same time sophisticated enough to include all kinds of complex activities that are needed for any kind of enterprise. Examples of some of these activities could, be running Material resource planning, recruiting and managing an employee’s lifecycle, disbursing payrolls, recording all financial transactions and drawing balance sheets and P/L statements of the company etc. Now imagine a single system that takes care of all these diverse activities and still keep them well integrated. continue reading…
SAP Job Market
SAP job market is currently in a state of flux just like any other IT job. Where there used to be 10 jobs there are 4 or may be 5. Post recession, the reasons are obvious – Lack of budgets, postponing new implementations, general market slump etc.
However, all is not lost yet. There are still jobs. And more are going to come up as the economy slowly takes roots again and boomtown comes along. continue reading…

Pricing is one of the core concepts in SAP SD and all SD consultants need to know pricing. Just as the name says, SAP SD Pricing is configuring the system to effectively determine the price of a product under different circumstances. The most easiest example to explore pricing is to take a simple grocery bill and expand on it.
Consider this as an extract of a grocery bill. You have purchased some items from the Produce section and some from the stationery section. Your Produce sub-total is 18.00 and your stationery sub-total is 10.00. You have been taxed 10% and your total comes to 27.00 as shown in the picture above.
Consider this as an extract of a grocery bill. You have purchased some items from the Produce section and some from the stationery section. Your Produce sub-total is 18.00 and your stationery sub-total is 10.00. You have been taxed 10% and your total comes to 27.00 as shown in the picture above.
Let’s just explore on how the pricing is calculated on line item No. 10 – Milk. However, they might not be shown on the bill but are internal to the company selling the product. Let’s explore how a potential bill could be created. As you can see from the picture below, there is a Base Price from the price list – 5.00 . And since the bill is for a retail customer , there is a retail discount of 1.00. So the sub-total for the line item 10 is 4.00. continue reading…
You are working as a SAP Security Admin and there they go again! Users call you up and demand to give them access so that they can change layout sets in transaction VA05. The users are screaming: Give me SAP_ALL, Give me everything! I cannot work! The option to save layout is grayed out!
Well, first thought is, that you would not allow them to change global layouts (S_ALV_LAYO), but that may not be the case.
Guess what: You have a system landscape with total 16 clients and created a fancy report variant. Now, the business folks want this variant in all systems & clients. What now? Well, you can define the variant as global variant and transport it everywhere without having to recreate this darn variant. continue reading…
