SAP EHS Component reimplementation

[#1]

Dear Experts,

Here I am not seeking resolution to any error but just need a thought that can be helpful. The scenario is, one of my clients parted out from another company but during implementation, probably lift & shift sort, it inherited the previous orgs FM's/ codes/ programs and may be some config as well. Now there are multiple issues that are being faced for e,g expert rules issues (while writing data) , duplication of data, some redundant data which is likely to be inherited from former one. As a solution to this issue they want to go with the approach of reimplement EHS Component again (' clean slate') instead of keep resolving issues. Here is where there are multiple unanswered questions are lingering.

1) While other modules (MM, SD, PP, FICO etc) are running in parallel, is it possible to do a reimplementation of only SAP EHS ?

2) Or is it advisable to go and resolve issues module by module (Product safety- SVT, rep mgmt, Templates, DG, Waste Mgmt. etc.)and clean the system. But here it will be complex task to identify the unwanted data and programs.

3) While going through reimplementation, how can this be achieved in production while other business process are running. Only DG, Rep shipping are integrated with logistic. SVT is still not live due to issues.

4) Even in that case also, Is it possible to clean slate every thing at one go ? Here may be the customization can be copied from a prototype environment and reload the master data again. The major challenge here is integrated functionalities will be on hold till that time.

5) Imp question: Is there any other approach that any one has done it before for such situation.

Not sure if all this questions can be answered, but a small thought / suggestion can be helpful.

Regards,

Ashish

Hello

i am not 100% sure if i have understood your challenge.

Therefore: this is what i can read between the lines
- SAP MM, SD etc are all up and running well

- SAP EHS Seems to have a huge list of issues

- In "scope" is:

-- DG process

-- Report shipping process

-- and the corresonding "ehs master data

- potentially later in scope: SVT

Coming to you topic:

The "most" important link of EHS and MD, SD etc. is the "material REAL_SUB" link.

Assuming that the "property tree" is fine (correct custmizing etc.), the "phrases" are fine etc.

It seems to be that you need to start from "scratch" (at least partially)

So you have to start with "LIST_SUB" / "PURE_SUB" you must may be "clean" up property tree; you must clean up "WWI reports" etc. etc.

Let us start with "SD" process. here we have two important links: the "DG" process and the "SDS shipment" process

So the may be first step is: get "rid" of the SAP SD EHS DG integration.

Then SAP SD will just "run" (without DG checks)

Then you have to do proper Material REAL_SUB Link and you must prepare "DG" data (on material level). Now you could activeta SAP SD / EHS integration for DG

For "Safety Data Sheet". You need the propert data in property tree; (assumption: you can delete any data and you could do a complete "reimport". The you could get rid of "SDS" (released) and "regenerate the SDS

etc.

BUt it is clearly not an easy task to handle all the issues (reading between the lines) and the company acting would be "inclompliant" (no real DG check, not SDS per EHS process)

So anything very risky. But according to what i read between the lines: there is no other option
