ACDOCA vs BSEG question

I have a question about some of the differences between BSEG and ACDOCA. My understanding is that in ECC6 BSEG is the financial document table and is effectively a journal listing whereas ACDOCA houses more information in a more economic way.

Some similarities between them are that SHKZG and DRCRK are effectively the same and give an indication of whether the GL code (HKONT) is being debited or credited and HSL/WSL are the local and document currency amounts respectively and have equivalents DMBTR/WRBTR in ECC6.

However, the amounts columns in ACDOCA tend to have a negative sign appended at the end for negative values whereas BSEG in ECC6 relies on SHKZG only to ensure the journal balances. Moreover, if one ignores the negative signs and attributes a minus only when a credit is indicated by DRCRK, these do not balance.

So my question is, what is the point of having both negative signs AND a Dr Cr indicator and why do they not align in terms of ensuring balancing journals.

Thanks!

How do you create pricing records in s/4 ?

SAP has been saying no call transactions for years, but there is no BAPI or other method available to create pricing records, we still have quite a few CALL TRANSACTION VK15 calls in our system, we'd love to get rid of them, they are slow and will be a problem when we upgrade.

Has SAP released any other way to create new pricing records?

Is pricing completely different in S/4?

Are there any plug-ins for entering forecasts into SAP?

Currently the sales team is manually entering their forecasts in SAP P2A and they have to go item by item, month by month. Surely there’s a better way to do this?

Is it possible to upload an excel/csv file with multiple items and time periods? Is there a 3rd party plug-in that makes this easier? I would appreciate any suggestions on how to do this more efficiently. Thank you!

SQVI help?

Hi everyone! Never posted here before!

I recently started a basic training series to help users be aware of SQVI where I work. I’m self taught and don’t consider myself to be an expert

One user pulled in a lot of fields and SQVI automatically split her report into “line 1” and “line 2” but when she exports, only some of the data fields she pulled export.

Does anyone know why this happened or what I can do to help her?

Today I am going to try to walk her through her report to see if I can get it to work, I just don’t know what I’ll do if I run into the same issue she did

Thank you!!!

SAPGUI 800 Upgrade

Hello everyone, I’d like to ask about SAPGUI upgrade. I’m now planning to upgrade my company’s SAPGUI (770 or older versions) to the latest 800.

Upon checking, I’ve found that 800 is available in both 32 and 64-bit version. Since we’ve been using 32-bit all along so naturally I’m more inclined to stick with the 32-bit to avoid any incompatibilities. On the other hand, almost all our computers are now 64-bit so perhaps it’s time to switch ?

Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Many thanks!

SOLMAN vs Cloud ALM

Hello. I am a junior BASIS consultant in a big retail company. I am new in this field with 4 months experience.

My manager asked me to search about Cloud ALM and to decide if cloud alm is better than solman which we are currently using.

We use S/4Hana on premise. There are multiple app and dev servers such as ERP, BW, CAR, PI/PO.

Can you kindly help me about this topic?

WTH is SAP fiori so slow

SAP end user tester/consultant here,

Is it only me or Fiori is really slow for everyone. Like man it takes days to load. Being an end user tester I’ve gotta juggle between test ids login and logout at least 100 time a day.

It takes forever to load. I mean they’re pushing fiori and cloud why isn’t it faster and easy.

Any tips and tricks would really help

Integration from Integration Suite to S4/hana on-prem

Hi, recently I started to dig into Integration Suite and it may be stupid but how does integration from and to S4hana on-prem system works there? I worked with PO mostly and with integrations to on-prem systems I often used SOAP adapter with XI 3.0 and ABAP proxy. As far as I know something like that doesn't exist in Integration Suite so how does it work there? Is there something similar or a way to do something resembling it?

Edit: I think I used the wrong words in the main question. What I ask is how do you consume integrations desinged on Integration Suite using S4/hana on-prem.

Interview Process at SAP Labs

Hi,

I completed 4 rounds in SAP Lab interview process ( 3 Tech , 1 cross LoB) now am waiting for Hr round. How much time it usually takes for SAP to schedule Hr round. FYI my cross lob was completed yesterday. Also what set of questions I can expect in HR round.

Edit : HR round completed, it was only for 15 mins, and for some questions I am worrying that I haven’t answered well enough. But in the last Hr enquired about notice period, current ctc and other info, also he said that he will discuss with HM and come back to me in next week. I am worrying that I might have lost this chance 😬 .

Is SAP lacking of interesting topics?

Hello everyone,

Are there any "very interesting" topics in the SAP Basis environment except of maybe SAP BTP? I am just getting bored of CloudALM and SAP BTP.. and If I take a look at the roadmap I can't see really cool features or innovations.

So what are the options? How can you keep yourself enthuastic? I am pretty clueless.

Seeking Training Recommendations for SAP PM and MM as a New Application Consultant

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the role of SAP Application Consultant, bringing several years of experience as an end-user in the PM module. I'm currently looking to expand my skill set with training in Customizing and both PM and MM modules.

I've noticed that SAP seems to have discontinued training for S3, likely due to its sunsetting in 2027. Most of the available training focuses on S/4HANA or Fiori.

Does anyone have recommendations for training that would be beneficial for an Application Consultant specializing in PM and MM? I'm particularly interested in courses that cover:

  • Customizing: Best practices and common pitfalls
  • PM module: Deep dive into maintenance processes, work orders, and asset management
  • MM module: Procurement, inventory management, and integration with PM

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A perhaps naive question about S/4 Public Cloud

What financial incentives (if any) is SAP offering to third parties to migrate customers to S/4 Public Cloud? We’re an SME currently on ECC6 which is heavily customised and we’re being contacted by a lot of consulting firms pushing the public cloud to us quite heavily. I’m hearing a lot of “this is in the customers best interests” comments, while they don’t seem to want to talk at all about Private Cloud or on-prem. So this makes me wonder, what’s in it for them (if anything) once the initial implementation is complete?

A real open source alternative to SAP: a topic for the brave hearts

What I've never really understood throughout my life is that how come there has never been a serious FOSS (or even home-brewed in Microsoft .NET or PHP/MySQL) alternative to SAP. Or maybe there is but it's just the industry perception which has become like that?

It's not as though SAP is without competition though, I believe there are serious candidates here like Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, IBM, SalesForce, etc. and these are just the big ones. We are not even talking about the minnows and midcaps. And then there are open source experiments like Odoo and ErpNext which are used here and there but mostly considered toys compared to SAP.

Also, it's quite understandable that the fortune 500 and blue chips of US and Europe buy SAP, it's both within their budgets and needs. But what really fails my rational sense is how come SAP has managed to sell themselves to the Asian businesses and especially the Dhandho businessmen here in India?

These Gujarati and Marwadi millionaires are reputed to be literal sharks when it comes to saving the last penny and screwing the happiness out of their workers and suppliers, just to save a few extra rupees. How come these folks have become such big fans of SAP? One would assume that they'd build themselves a FOSS or Microsoft solution to save few more rupees, instead they're spending crores in SAP licenses. This ain't no rational path at all.
