Frequently Asked Questions

If you suspect that you are not making the most of what

you have implemented, or your help desk is overrunning

with issues, Profiling for SAP allows you to cut through the

confusion and get to the underlying facts:

  Which organizations are actively using ERP

applications and what are they doing?

  Is the current amount of customized reports still

needed, and do they need to be maintained?

  Are business processes efficiently supported?

  Do we really have to upgrade all those customized

Z-transactions and Z-reports to the latest ERP?

  Do I have a segregation of duties (SoD) issue?

Upgrade ROI Quick Example Calculation

Based on the average utilization of an SAP® R/3 system,

replacing the “customized but not used” or “customized” 

transactions and reports by standard SAP® operations

during an SAP® functional upgrade will save many project

days and costs for offshore and onsite consulting services,

development and testing.

Understand Your Current SAP® ERP Environment  

Profiling for SAP delivers ERP key indicators like utilization

and standardization of SAP®. Business process maps are

generated showing which parts of SAP® are used by the

business how often, and how much they have beencustomized.

During the design and blueprinting of  new “to-be”

processes you can use the deliverables for an impact

analysis. It allows you to focus on areas where potential

cost savings and improved efficiency can be achieved.

Additionally, business related questions will be answered,

e.g. how many sales orders have been processed by

specific SD sales organizations, or which plant utilizes

customized SAP® processes in MM to which degree.

ERP Optimization

Over the years, existing SAP® standards may have been

supplemented with customizing because the needs of the

business have changed since the implementation went

live.

With functional ERP upgrades or enhancements, most

organizations wish to adhere to SAP® standard processes

as much as possible and still keep their processes as

individual as needed. Profiling for SAP delivers the basis

for cost efficiency and business effective decisions.

Compliance and Governance for SAP® ERP 

Complex ERP systems are potentially susceptible to

segregation of duties (SoD) issues. By means of  Profiling

 for SAP, the desired responsibilities of SAP® users can be

counterchecked against the real usage of SAP®. Reporting

of the results can be done per job role, so you know what

each role entails in terms of process activities, SAP®

business blueprint process steps, SAP® roles and

transactions. Key performance indicators (KPIs) can be

visualized for fast navigation and exploration of 

information. For example ERP process utilization byorganizational units like plants or sales offices.
