Hi Venkat,

PP tickets are nothing but issues that are raised by end users while using SAP which they donot have solution.

They can range from creation of master data, not knowing the execution of transaction, wrong way of handling transaction or cross module issues.

Based on that consultant has to understand the issue, give proper solution.

As a planner, what is your role. Its interesting to know about it. In SAP what transaction do you work upon?

Hi,

Pls. find the following details regarding the Implementation :

Implementation Assistant

Purpose

The Implementation Assistant is a key ASAP navigation tool. It allows you to access the ASAP Roadmap along with many other tools and accelerators.

Features

The Implementation Assistant provides a framework for your implementation project based on the Roadmap, a tree structure that displays work packages, activities, and tasks. The documentation stored at each level of this structure contains recommendations on implementing your SAP System and links to helpful tools, accelerators, and information on SAPNet and the World Wide Web. You can include your own documents, thereby increasing the number of accelerators available.

It also helps you to implement a combination of software implementation projects. You can install several flavors (R/3, APO, BW, Business-to-Business Procurement) for the Implementation Roadmap type at the same time. This provides you with a combined Roadmap to guide you through your implementation.

You can edit the ASAP Roadmap structure, add customer-specific documents to the tree structure as nodes, rename nodes and set them in scope.

In the Implementation Assistant you can view the Roadmap according to:

Subject areas - Select this option to display only those texts that are relevant for a specific subject area, such as Organizational Change Management, Quality, Testing, or Authorization.

Roles - Select this option to display only those texts relevant to a particular role, such as System Administrator, Training Coordinator, Development Manager or Technical Consultant.

Scope - Select this option to display only those nodes that you have set in scope.

From the Implementation Assistant, you have several navigation options.

You can:

Launch the Question & Answer database. The questionnaires, forms, and reports in this database will help you carry out the project tasks described in the ASAP Roadmap.

Launch the Knowledge Corner , which contains detailed documentation, information on technical tools and Simplification Guides

Open the Concept Check Tool , which you can use to check the quality of your implementation project during the first two phases of the Roadmap

Display a list of accelerators and texts in the Knowledge Corner in alphabetical order

Consult implementation project plans for either six or nine months

From a hierarchical list, display the Business Process Procedures that must be carried out in order to complete a particular transaction

Consult the ASAP glossary

The Find function allows you to search for information contained in the Implementation Assistant. You can search for one specific keyword, for a combination of keywords using connectors, for a particular phrase, or use a wild card

ASAP Roadmap

Use

The ASAP Roadmap provides the methodology for implementing and continuously optimizing your SAP System. It divides the implementation process into five phases and offers detailed Project Plans to assist you (in Microsoft Project format). The documentation stored at each level of the Roadmap tree structure contains recommendations on implementing your SAP System and links to helpful tools and accelerators.

Purpose

When you install the Implementation Assistant you can choose from several Roadmap types and flavors.

Roadmap types

Roadmap flavors

Implementation

R/3 System (Continuous Improvement)

BW

APO

Business-to-Business Procurement

Global ASAP

R/3 System

Upgrade

R/3 System

In your implementation project (Roadmap type: Implementation), you can bring together several Roadmap flavors in one Roadmap. The Implementation Assistant also helps you to implement a combination of software implementation projects.

Features

The implementation of your SAP System covers the following phases:

1.Project Preparation

In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:

Define your project goals and objectives

Clarify the scope of your implementation

Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence

Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources

2.Business Blueprint

In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb), which documents your enterpriseu2019s requirements and establishes how your business processes and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.

3.Realization

In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation.

4.Final Preparation

In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been fulfilled.

5.Go Live & Support

In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.

After your system has gone live, you can use a separate Roadmap with six work packages, in order to optimize your SAP System continuously.

These phases are the main milestones for your SAP System implementation project. Each phase has:

Work packages, which consist of activities, for which project teams are responsible.

Activities, which consist of tasks, which are processed by one or more team members.

Tasks, which are carried out by a project team member. You can also access the How-to sections and accelerators at this level.

HOpe this helps.
