Upload of Planned Independent Requirements made easy
Published on August 6th, 2009Comments (2)
You only need to go through the forums on SDN to realise that there are people out there that actually write programs or develop LSMW’s to upload Planned Independent Requirements (PIR) into SAP. Whilst I am sure that there are many valid reasons for wanting to develop your own upload programs, it is a shame [...]

Published on July 24th, 2009Comments (1)
This is really a quick tip that I’m posting more for me, but which I thought I’d share with the rest of the community.
If you are using the Service Desk functionality of Solution Manager, you may know that it is possible to create support requests right from your satelite SAP system. This is a really [...]
Automated emails in SAP Solution Manager made easy
Published on July 23rd, 2009Comments (0)
What I will explain here is particularly useful if you are using SAP Solution Manager, but it could also be applied to SAP CRM.
Solution Manager offers a very powerful functionality in that which is Service Desk. However I think that you are missing an important aspect of it if you do not set up automatic [...]
SLA’s made easy in SAP Solution Manager
Published on July 21st, 2009Comments (5)
The details herein contained in this post relate to the solution manager VAR scenario – i.e your organisation acts as a service desk for your SAP customers. Whilst some of the concepts explained here might be of use to a CRM consultant, they are first and foremost destined for Solution Manager consultants setting up their [...]
Read moreBuilding RIA’s using SAP, Flex and Php
Published on July 20th, 2009Comments (6)
According to Wikipedia, “Rich Internet Applications are web applications that have most of the characteristics of desktop applications, typically delivered by way of standards based web browser plug-ins or independently via sandboxes or virtual machines”. I don’t think that this definition does do it any justice – I think that RIA’s are:
Applications that offer a [...]
Read moreSAP Batch Determination made easy
Published on September 5th, 2008Comments (11)
Recently a colleague encountered the following problem:
His customer tracks perishable products that are bought / inventory managed / sold using the SAP functionality Batch Management (LO-BM). The products have a shelf life and therefore a “Use by/Expiration” date. His problem was that he was able to correctly update the characteristic “Expiration date” of the [...]
Integration du processus Achat d’immobilisations et creation d’equipements
Published on June 13th, 2007Comments (2)
Je suis toujours surpris de voir que bien des clients ne savent pas qu’il est dans SAP, possible d’optimiser le processus d’achats d’equipements qui doivent par la suite etre immobilises. En general ce processus releve de la responsabilite de plusieurs services au sein d’un societe. Dans sa forme la plus complexe on peut imaginer le [...]
Read moreRe-writing SAP with PHP (part 1.5)
Published on May 22nd, 2006Comments (8)
If things always went to plan, I guess I would now be writing part 2 and not 1.5! The truth is, I’ve had so many ideas lately that I just had to test them out and so this is how 1.5 came to be. In this post I’m going to show you how I used [...]
Read moreRe-writing SAP with PHP (part 1)
Published on May 13th, 2006Comments (13)
Don’t let the title fool you, I’m not quite there yet. I’ve already written a few posts that dealt with integrating SAP and PHP (which you can find here and here to get you started), but I thought it was time to take it to another level. So what I’ve done here is to try [...]
Read moreUpdate to SAPRfc – MATERIAL_GETLIST
Published on April 28th, 2006Comments (3)
This is just a quick update to my previous post in which I dealt with using the BAPI (Business Programming Application Interface) BAPI_MATERIAL_GETLIST. This update does not change – greatly – the code that makes the rfc (remote function call) call itself. It now gives you the possibility to fill in a form where you [...]
Read moreSAPRfc – MATERIAL_GETLIST in browser
Published on February 23rd, 2006Comments (7)
This post deals with using PHP to communicate with SAP, so you’ll need to have acces to a SAP system if you want to reproduce this.
All-right, some time ago I wrote a post in which I said that I wanted to use a BAPI (or other) to retrieve a list of material numbers from a [...]
SAPRfc – stock/requirements list in browser
Published on January 9th, 2006Comments (16)
About 4 months ago I was trying out various things with SAPRrfc. To be more precise I was trying to mimick the the transaction code that most consultant refer to by its transaction code as opposed to the name of it. Yes (this is an easy one if you are an LO consultant) I’m talking [...]
Read moreWhere is that number range?
Published on January 7th, 2006Comments (2)
Have you ever had that problem where you needed to customize a number range in SAP but just did not know where you had to do it in the IMG? Worse still, you are running a transaction and you get an error message because there is no number range for object RF_BELEG? RF what? That’s [...]
Read moreChanging standard SAP field descriptions
Published on September 1st, 2005Comments (17)
Sometimes you absolutely need a couple of fields to input all your information, so you end up using an unused field. What happens if the field description does not match, not even closely the information you put in it?
Well you have several choices:
- You could live with it.
- You could create your own data dictionary [...]
PHP & SAP : Experimenting with SAPRfc
Published on July 30th, 2005Comments (9)
A couple of years ago I started experimenting with the SAPRfc library but a busy schedule prevented me from doing anything more then execute the demo script.
So, a couple of years down the road, I last week again installed the SAPRfc library on my new work PC (running XP Pro). Although I have been [...]
SAP’s secret : Getafix
Published on July 24th, 2005Comments (1)
This is a very neat easter egg that I came across trying to find the picture for one icon. When I show this to people, they are usually surprised to see that a ‘touch of humour’ has slipped inside SAP. If you want to see what I mean follow these steps:
Goto transaction SMW0 (That’ll [...]
Uploading/downloading files – made easy!
Published on July 6th, 2005Comments (0)
There are many transactions and ways that will help you perform the task of uploading or downloading a file to the SAP server. The easiest and quickest I have found is the use of the following transactions:
Transaction CG3Z to upload a file.
Transaction CG3Y to download a file.

Published on July 4th, 2005Comments (0)
I’m always amazed to see the number of people that have not heard of the transaction SE16N. I can’t remember which version of SAP brought that transaction but I’ve used it ever since I discovered it. Data manipulation is greatly enhanced and you can use all the standard ALV functionnalities.
Read moreUpload/download – paths made easy!
Published on July 1st, 2005Comments (0)
In SAP, if you only sometimes have to do data downloads, I suppose that it’s not going to bother you that the proposed path is not where you want to store your file. You’ll just select another place to store your file.
However, if you have to do this on a regular basis it [...]
