What is System Landscape?
Here we are providing some information about the general system landscape in SAP Projects: There are basically three servers Development Server, Quality Server and Production Server. Development Server: As the name itself indicates that this server is used for development of software product, in other words in development server complete configuration of all business processes is done. Here, you will getSPRO Customizing IMG in change mode. In development server we can have three clients, Golden Client, Test Client and Sandbox. Sandbox is used for all configuration testing. All the client requirement are first tested in Sandbox and then mainconfiguration is done in Golden Client. It remains with the consultant. It has no connection with other clients. Golden Client contains only configuration Data in SPRO. It is not at all recommended to create transaction data ormaster data. It is the Golden Client only where you will get SPRO in change mode. Test client is used for testing of configuration and customized programs. You can create master data and transaction data. SPRO in display mode. Now, all the configuration is done in Golden Client and it is copied to Test client with the help of t code SCC1. Once configuration is copied you can test the business scenario in test client. SPRO is in display mode in Test Client. Quality Server: Once configuration is done in Golden Client and tested in Test Client you can transport the changes to Quality Client. Purpose of Quality Client is to do Quality check of software product. Client side core team member test the complete business process or any newly developed report or any
enhancement in Qualityserver and give his clearance. In quality server we can have two clients, one for quality check and another for end-user training. SPRO is in display mode. You can create master data and transaction data. Production Server: It is the Production Server where all the real data is available for use. All the realtime transaction takes place in Production Server. All the changes from Quality Server are moved to Production Serverafter Core team Testing. SPRO in display mode. Tags: System landscape
Difference between Contract and Scheduling Agreement in SAP MM
Difference between Contract and Scheduling Agreement in SAP MM: 1. Volume of Documents: In case of a contract, buyer is required to create a new Purchase order every
time, whenever there is any requirement of material or services. This Purchase order is create with reference to the contract. This increases volume of documents. However, in case of scheduling agreement, only delivery schedule is created and further extended, whenever we need material or services. Therefore only delivery quantity and date is entered every time. There is no need to create a new document every time. This reduces volume of documents. 2. Integration with MRP: It is possible to integrate Scheduling Agreement and contract with MRP run. However, processing will be different in with both purchase documents.
Once scheduling agreement is assigned in the source list (What is Source List?), set the Fixed Check Box and MRP indicator is set as 2 in source list item, system automatically create schedule lines on MRP run. One the other hand if we assign contract in Source list and set the Fixed Check Box, then system will only assign the contract no. and item no. as the source of supply in thepurchase requisition. Further processing will be manual.
