<p>At a time where the <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn" title="Sap Community Network" target="_blank">SCN website</a> is due to have a clean face, SAP employee and SAP mentor <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/13" title="Mark Finnern" target="_blank">Mark Finnern</a> delights us, yet again, with a highly useful post titled &#8220;<strong>Top 25 SCN Blogs of all Time</strong>&#8220;. In case you have missed it, here is your opportunity to know which are the most popular SAP SCN weblogs, of all time. This ranking has been produced taking in consideration the number of user views, counted on the last 8 years. So these are the most viewed weblogs, which obviously reflect which SAP subjects users are more interested in.</p>
<p>Mark Finnern also adds a few observations that sustain this thorough list:</p>
<blockquote><p>Wow there are some well known names and some surprises in the list, not the least the number one blog post by Steffen Weber. With 178K almost twice as many hits as the famous often updated originaly named XI FAQ post by Michal Krawczyk. Looks like the Excel Macro File referenced in Steffen&#8217;s blog post does come really handy. Congratulations Steffen for having written the most viewed post of the last 8 years. </p>
<p>I have to smile seeing that Michal&#8217;s XI/PI FAQ post is #2. I had long discussion with him why this kind of content should be moved to a wiki page so that everyone can improve it. His argument is that you need a curator, otherwise the quality isn&#8217;t there. Number of views he got is proofing his point, comments of certain links not working anymore can be counted for the wiki camp, but this is not the blog post to bring up that argument again, but to celebrate the top blog posts of SCN. </p>
<p>Thomas Jung can ad the title Master of SCN blogging to the long list of his career achievements, as 6 of his posts are in the top 25. I am always at awe seeing the beauty and quality of his posts. I remember the early beginnings when Brain McKellar nudged him after seeing his excellent BSP forum answers to post blogs. I am so glad he did oh and we miss Brian on SCN. </p>
<p>Love it that a Crystal Report post by Blair Wheadon is #5. It is a beautiful proof, that the BOBJ community has found a home on SCN. Being posted only 2 years ago in December 2009 it is also the youngest blog post on the list. Really amazing that it is on rank #5 already. Well done Blair. </p>
<p>Just wow that there are still 3 Roberto Negro posts in this top 25 list. He used to dominate the BW space, as it was called back in the mid 2000s. He moved on and is unfortunately not working in the SAP space anymore. Really bummed that he nver made it to a TechEd, or at least I don&#8217;t remember. I hope the hammock he once offered me is still standing somewhere in Italy waiting for me to relax in. Roberto we really miss you here, please come back. </p>
<p>Manfred Lutz and Ingo Hilgefort are the other two bloggers that have more than one post in the list. We have over 3000 SCNers who have written at least one post, To be in the top 25 is quite the achievement. Thank you all for putting the effort in.</p></blockquote>

Through this weblog we will go on in our tour around the logistic data extraction world: after having familiarized with the data flows that the system can run for every available update methods in LBWE and before approaching all the other extraction mechanisms managed by SAP Business Warehouse, now it’s necessary facing this question: what’s happen if a standard logistic datasource (and its related information set) is not enough for our needs ?<br />

<div class="topsy_widget_data topsy_theme_jade" style="float: right;margin-left: 0.75em; background: url(data:,%7B%20%22url%22%3A%20%22http%253A%252F%252Fsaplab.org%252F2011%252F06%252F10-sap-blogs-you-must-follow%252F%22%2C%20%22style%22%3A%20%22big%22%2C%20%22title%22%3A%20%2210%20SAP%20Blogs%20you%20must%20follow%22%20%7D);"></div>
<p>It sometimes seems difficult to find your ways in the SAP neverending web of information. Anyone who works with SAP knows that a big part of their job is to constantly search and digest the best piece of information (ideally) they can find. These mostly originate from various sources and most of the times, in what refers to blogs, at least half of them are low quality.</p>
<p>Being that said, I&#8217;ve decided to write this post and reveal which are my top SAP fellow blogs, whom I follow and recommend that you visit.</p>
<h4><a title="SAP Community Network Blogs" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs" target="_blank">1. SAP Community Network Blogs</a></h4>
<p><a title="SAP Community Network Blogs" href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2082" title="SAP Community Network Blogs" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sap-blog01.jpg" alt="SAP Community Network Blogs" width="575" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>SAP blogs are by far the most complete and extensive source of information. It also has the advantage of being supported by SAP and its contents managed and updated by SAP employees, SAP mentors and other credible SAP professionals. The downside to it is that you&#8217;ll need an SAP user in order to view it fully or be able to post comments.</p>
<p>Link: <a title="SAP Community Network Blogs" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs" target="_blank">http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><a title="SearchSAP" href="http://searchsap.techtarget.com" target="_blank">2. SearchSAP</a></h4>
<p><a title="SearchSAP" href="http://searchsap.techtarget.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2058" title="SAP community's resource for news, expert advice, technical tips and career guidance" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/search-sap.jpg" alt="SAP community's resource for news, expert advice, technical tips and career guidance" width="575" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>Owned by <a title="Tech Target" href="http://www.techtarget.com/" target="_blank">TechTarget</a>, SearchSAP is a very complete website and blog with more than tutorials or how-to&#8217;s on SAP. It contains news, expert advice, technical tips and career guidance, latest applications as well as future ERP system plans with breaking news coverage from independent editors. I recommend this website and its rich content.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><a title="Jon ERP SAP Blog" href="http://www.jonerp.com/" target="_blank">3. JonERP.com</a></h4>
<p><a title="Jon Reed on SAP" href="http://www.jonerp.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2063" title="Jon Reed - Career Answers for SAP Professionals" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sap-jon-reed.jpg" alt="Jon Reed - Career Answers for SAP Professionals" width="575" height="407" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Follow Jon Reed on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/jonerp" target="_blank">Jon Reed&#8217;s</a> blog is widely known and is a complete source that I recommend for any SAP professional. Jon actively blogs about several SAP emerging areas, SAP market trends, with a special focus on SAP career &#8211; Jon Reed&#8217;s blog has a special <a title="Jon Reed - SAP Career Center" href="http://www.jonerp.com/content/view/3/9/" target="_blank">SAP Career Center page</a>, designed for people wanting to know more about careers on SAP and how to enhance it. Jon also is consistently posting new podcasts and webcasts.</p>

<h4><a href="http://www.pixelbase.co.uk/"></a></h4>
<p><a title="PixelBase" href="http://www.pixelbase.co.uk/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2077" title="SAP on PixelBase" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/pixelbase.jpg" alt="SAP on PixelBase" width="575" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>Michael Koch is the driver of Pixelbase, which I recommend that you  follow and visit on a regular basis. Michael is an experienced independent consultant and he&#8217;s also a well known SAP Mentor. Pixelbase is the commercial face of Michael&#8217;s activity, however, you&#8217;ll find that there is much to learn from the blog, covering topics such as SAP Web Development (ITS, BSP, <a title="7 Web Dynpro Basic Tutorials" href="http://saplab.org/2010/09/7-web-dynpro-basic-tutorials/">WebDynpro for ABAP</a>), custom SAP Development (ABAP and ABAP OO), RIA (Adobe Flex), Interfaces (ALE, IDOCS, XML), SAP CRM development and Data Migration, as well as conference coverage, among others.</p>

<p>Peter Russo is the main blogger and webmaster of Feeding the SAP EcoSystem blog. Unlike others, this blog focuses more on SAP products and Peter includes his personal experiences in each post he writes. Benefiting from the fact that he appears to attend lots of SAP events, he also transmits these experiences to the blog, which are obviously enriching for any of us. It is ideal if you want to understand what&#8217;s going on in the SAP world and also where SAP is going in the future.</p>

<p>This is an interesting blog that I also follow. It focuses in cloud computing solutions and 3 main areas:  Web 2.0 by SAP, Web 2.0 in SAP and Web 2.0 with SAP. It is worth taking a look!</p>

<p>SAP Bloggers corner is intended to promote conversation about what SAP is doing in the market. The main attraction of this blog is the livestream feature, podcasts and broadcasts, published on a regular basis.</p>

<p>I think this was the first SAP blog I visited, ever since I started in the SAP world. It is very rich in content covering SAP podcasts (from Jon Reed), Job  Board, Foruns, FAQs, whitepapers  and tutorials, etc.  You can also browse the blog based on your user/consultant profile, i.e., Functional or Technical. The blog also contains a very complete section on SAP General. It&#8217;s a really good starting point for anybody and definitely a blog that you want to come back.</p>

<p>Hope you liked this blog list; these are just a few of the ones I follow on a regular basis. <strong>What are your favourite blogs?</strong></p>

<p>Following <a title="Trigger workflow when a document is Parked - Part 1" href="http://saplab.org/2011/03/trigger-workflow-when-a-document-is-parked-part-1/">Part 1</a>, this tutorial explains a step by step process for the creation of the <a title="SAP Business Workflow" href="http://saplab.org/category/workflow/">SAP Business workflow</a>, which is triggered whenever a document is parked, as well as the functionality for posting and the necessary workflow configuration.</p>
<p>Now we want to send mail to the initiator that document no xxxxx has been sent to his supervisor.</p>
<p>Enter a mail step:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow01.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="495" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow02.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="360" /></p>
<p>Now we want to add a task which will enable the supervisor to release amount for subsequent posting. Add a new task &#8211; we will use the <strong>RELEASE</strong> method of <strong>FIPP BO</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow03.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="608" height="543" /></p>
<p></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow04.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="658" /></p>
<p>Our workflow looks like this:</p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow05.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="557" height="559" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Now on the rejection task, we want to add a <strong>MAIL interface</strong>, so that the Supervisor role can add some comments on why he is rejecting this document. We will be using standard SAP business workplace mail for this purpose.</p>
<p>On rejection add the following standard task under a new activity: <strong>TS20000139</strong>. Also add a process control which will set our workflow to complete:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part2/sap-workflow06.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="604" height="563" /></p>

<p>Our <a title="SAP Business Workflow" href="http://saplab.org/category/workflow/">SAP Business workflow</a> is almost done. Please be sure to come back tomorrow and check Part 3.</p>

<p>Good morning readers. Today I have the pleasure to publish a very good guest post, by <strong><a title="ABAP Guides" href="http://www.abapguides.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cold Coffee</a></strong>, who was kind enough to send us a very thorough and detailed explanation on how to trigger a custom <a title="SAP Business Workflow" href="http://saplab.org/category/workflow/">SAP Workflow</a> whevener a document is parked in the <a title="SAP FI" href="http://saplab.org/tag/fico/">FI module</a>.</p>
<p>This tutorial explains a step by step process for the creation of the <a title="SAP Business Workflow" href="http://saplab.org/category/workflow/">SAP Business workflow</a>, which is triggered whenever a document is parked, as well as the functionality for posting and the necessary workflow configuration.</p>
<p>Due to the length and level of detail included, this article will be divided into 4 parts, to be published on the next 4 days (including today).</p>
<h4>Scenario</h4>
<ul>
<li>Initiator parks the document.</li>
<li>Workflow is triggered on ‘COMPLETED’ event.</li>
<li>It is sent to Finance Officer</li>
<li>He /she either release the document for payment or reject it.</li>
<li>Upon release document is sent to Finance Manager.</li>
<li>That person can view it, post it or reject it.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Notifications</h4>
<ul>
<li>When workflow is triggered, initiator receives a mail that document has been sent to his supervisor.</li>
<li>When document is rejected, workflow is set to complete and initiator can be sent a comments mail.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Used Business Object</h4>
<ul>
<li>FIPP</li>
</ul>
<h2>Workflow Creation Steps</h2>
<p>Go to transaction code <strong>SWDD</strong>. Create a new workflow and save it under your package.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow01.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="383" /></p>
<p>Go to the<strong> Work flow container</strong> and add a new element. The following screen opens:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow02.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="458" /></p>
<p>Create a new element <strong>ZFIPP</strong> as we are using<strong> BO FIPP</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow03.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="579" height="489" /></p>
<p>Also set import and export parameters:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow04.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="580" height="491" /></p>
<p>Click on the Basics Data button or press Ctrl-f8 and enter the work flow starting event:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow05.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="273" height="80" /></p>
<p>We want the work flow to start on ‘Completed’  event <strong>OF FIPP BO</strong>.</p>
<p>Activate the triggering event. It will be done through a Customizing Request.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow06.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="456" /></p>
<p>Also generate Automatic Binding</p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow07.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="562" /></strong></p>
<p>Both the Activation and Binding buttons should be green by now</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow08.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="315" /></p>
<p>Now our workflow should look like this: Event is successfully configured.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="SAP Business Workflow" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/images/workflow/part1/sap-workflow09.jpg" alt="SAP Business Workflow" width="628" height="477" /></p>
<p>On the next series we will detail the workflow design, covering task creation, notifications and events. Please be sure to come back tomorrow!</p>

<p>Well I can say that this is a long awaited SAP launch and that will provide help to many users worldwide. If you&#8217;re like me, at a certain point in your SAP career, you felt the need to have your own SAP sandbox. Being for professional purposes or for your own personal skillset build, an SAP sandbox system is always handy and you can&#8217;t well perform this kind of experiments on your client development system.</p>
<p>Up until now, there weren&#8217;t many (viable) available solutions. There are some companies that provide you a paid service for you to have your own SAP system/client but usually expensive for most of us.</p>
<p>This month <a href="https://lod.sdn.sap.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Learning on Demand</a> by SAP launched a new service called <a href="https://cart.lod.sdn.sap.com/home.php?cat=680&amp;catexp=680" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="broken_link">SAP Sandbox onDemand</a>, which consists of an SAP ECC 6.0 system with sufficient basic data, such as customer and vendor master data, to enable substantial experimentation.  </p>
<p>Using this system, users can access the core ERP functionality of modules such as FI and CO, SD, HR and MM and can write and test ABAP code and modify SAP Netweaver settings and configurations. This offering will provide interested individuals with the ability to reinforce their existing SAP ERP knowledge and skills through experimentation in a live but safe environment.  It will also enable you to clarify areas of ambiguity in your knowledge or to test new functionality that they may be considering for an existing or new client.</p>
<p>Given that the SAP Sandbox onDemand is accessed via an SAP WebGUI, there is no need to install any client-side software on your PC, so you can start using the system immediately after receiving your access details.</p>
<p>Comparing with other and existing offers, SAP Sandbox onDemand has a fair price in my perspective: US$80 for 30 days access.</p>

<p>It gives me great pleasure to announce that today I&#8217;m releasing version 2.0 of the <a href="http://saplab.org/">SAPLAB.org</a> blog. Since the beginning of this project, roughly and more seriously about 2 years ago, I tried as much as possible to update the blog with useful and practical information around several SAP subjects. While doing this, I always tried to add my own personal flavor and experience to it, without, obviously, compromising any client sensible information.</p>
<p>The result and feedback has been good and now I&#8217;ve decided to raise this project to a new level. Besides the new look and feel, which is now more web 2.0 friendly, new functionalities will come and also more posts in the following weeks. Please be aware and keep visiting the blog! Please click here to <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=saplaborg&#038;loc=en_US" target="_blank" title="Subscribe SAPLAB newsletter">subscribe the newsletter</a>, which will bring updates to your e-mail.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like to take this opportunity to thank all returning visitors, as well as new visitors landing in <a href="http://saplab.org/">SAPLAB</a>. Please take your time to browse through the blog and don&#8217;t forget to leave your comments. <strong>It&#8217;s what gives life to this project!</strong></p>
<p>Sincerely, kind regards.</p>
<p>Antonio Caldas</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This is not entirely new information but since this is a &#8220;Cross&#8221; SAP blog, I wouldn&#8217;t want to skip out this definition. It is always useful to know what application areas does SAP cover. First of all, let me refresh you the SAP roadmap strategy for the following years.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is where SAP intends to go, focusing on a Business Model Innovation strategy:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-520 alignnone" title="SAP Roadmap" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/sap-roadmap1.jpg" alt="SAP Roadmap" width="400" height="298" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">From an upgrade and maintenance point of view, SAP will drop extended maintenance for R/3 4.6c by the end of 2009. Further maintenance will be &#8220;customer specific maintenance&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-521" title="SAP ERP Roadmap" src="http://saplab.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/sap-roadmap2.jpg" alt="SAP ERP Roadmap" width="500" height="322" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Each business process has a segment previously set. Each one of these segments is known as a <strong>Business Application Area</strong>. These areas are comprehensive and help us know and keep the whole system in context. They also provide us the level of SAP R/3 (or currently SAP ERP) covering.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Even if we&#8217;re not aiming to implement a specific module, sometimes we&#8217;ll have to set it partially. It happens commonly due to the integrated nature of the system, since functionalities have been put together establishing modules. The official division has the following configuration:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>CA &#8211; Cross Application Functions</strong></p>
