MM

Migration          Several Army data migration Trial Loads were conducted into the SAP system.  The practice data loads uncovered data processing issues which required investigation and corrective actions.  Some of the data issues required major enhancements to the related applications.  Work was performed in the following areas:

1- Legacy Systems Data Extraction (LSMW, SQL)          4- Material Pricing (IDOC Processing)

2- Material Master (Direct Input)                                      5- MRP Areas (Batch Input)

3- Material Master Extensions (Direct Input)                   

MM

Migration          Developed enhancements to the Weapons Systems Support Program migration.  The purpose of this data migration is to load military weapon systems information into the SAP system.  Enhancements to this application involved providing data lookups for material, plant and bill of materials information.  Attention to detail was important when working this assignment for the application had many data inputs and performed heavy data manipulation.

MM

Migration          Developed enhancements to the Supply Support Request migration.  This SAP data migration is responsible   for processing open supply support requests from the Army Packaging Supply system.  Modifications to this application involved installing routines to validate migration load data to several Legacy and SAP tables. 

MM

Migration          Developed the Major Organization Entity Rule refresh application.  MOE Rule information is used to classify military materials and to establish authorized item identification within the SAP system.  This work assignment involved working with custom SAP tables developed by the U.S. Army.

MM

Migration          Developed enhancements to the Inspection Types migration.  This SAP data migration uses the batch input process to update the material master using transaction MM02.  Modifications to this application involved providing additional methods of providing the input load data (UNIX files for large data volumes or Network PC files for smaller spreadsheet data volumes). 

APO

Migration          Developed enhancements to the Interchange and Substitution migration.  The application required several corrections which were uncovered during the data migration trial loads.   This SAP data migration is responsible for assigning materials to product families which identify military organizations (Army, Coast Guard).  This work assignment involved working with custom SAP tables developed by the U.S. Army.

Data

Validation         The SAP material master table MARA was modified for the Army project to include many Z-fields (non-SAP system fields).  Several applications were developed to validate these Army specific data fields to insure that they were populated and that they contained valid entries.    

Technical

Specifications   Developed technical program specification documents for SAP data migration applications.

1-       Material Master                                4- Supply Support Requests

2-       Material Master Extensions              5- Weapons System Support Program

Cutover

Run Scripts       Each data migration application is run multiple times, each time for a different business area, requiring different load parameters.  Data migration run scripts were created to insure that each data migration execution is setup properly.  The run scripts document the execution parameters to be used for each individual data load. 

 

Company:        PepsiCo, Chicago, Illinois      

Dates:               April 2006 – March 2007

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 6.0)

 

FI

Migration          Co-developed a conversion application to load legacy financial data into the SAP Business Warehouse system.  The legacy data converted consisted of financial history, current year operating plans and current year period forecasts.   The legacy data was transformed using cost center, cost element and cost element group cross-reference tables.      

FI

Migration          Co-developed a conversion application to convert legacy G/L Account Balances into the SAP system.  The conversion application processed legacy year-end G/L balances as well as net activity for each period for the current fiscal year.  The legacy data was transformed using G/L account, profit center, cost center, trading partner, and tax code cross-reference tables.  Multiple legacy systems were processed by this conversion.      

MM

Migration          Developed a conversion application to convert legacy Open Batches data into the SAP system.  The conversion processes data from several legacy systems.  Key legacy data was transformed using material and plant cross-reference tables.

MM

Migration          Developed a conversion application to convert legacy Inventory Balances into the SAP system.  The conversion application also processes data from several legacy systems.  Multiple legacy to SAP cross-reference tables were used to translate inventory data between the systems.  Data translations were required for material, plant storage location and inventory movement types.    

Data

Validation         The concept behind Data Validation Reports is to be able to run legacy data analysis reports, prior to executing a conversion, to determine if potential data errors exist.  Knowing about legacy data errors before hand provides the opportunity to make corrections which will limit SAP data load errors.

 

The legacy data was checked to insure that: 1) all SAP required fields are present, 2)  all legacy data lookups to  SAP cross-reference tables will not fail, and 3) that all data load values will be accepted by the SAP system without error.  This is accomplished by checking the data load values to SAP configuration tables.

 

Developed Data Valuation Reports for the Customer, Open Batches and Inventory Balances conversions.

SD

Migration          Developed a conversion application to convert legacy Customer Contracts into the SAP-CRM system.

                          The contract information was broken down into master agreements and subcontracts.  The master agreement contained all the contractual terms that were shared by the contract owner and its relevant partners where as the subcontract contained all the terms that differed from the master agreement.

SD

Migration          Developed a conversion application to convert legacy Service Provider and Customer Contract Rate data into the SAP-CRM system.  This conversion required transformation rules (defaults, xref’s and logic) to restate the legacy data into SAP system terms.  The legacy data also required data cleansing (record filtering) which involved evaluating the pricing effective dates to eliminate inactive historical data. 

 

Company:        Northrop Grumman, Newport News, Virginia      

Dates:               March 2005 – December 2005

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 4.6C)

8.       BOM item text was not being handled properly when BOM components were duplicated using the BOM Tree Drag & Drop functionality.  The process was reworked to collect and apply text information correctly.

9.       Performed several smartform modifications.  This work included correcting page heading/subheadings, adding new document print sections and providing scanner barcodes next to key document information.

 

Company:        ABB TotalFlow, Bartlesville, Oklahoma      

Dates:               December 2004 – March 2005

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 4.6C)

 

The SAP system at ABB TotalFlow was upgraded from 3.1G to 4.6C.  Several programs designed to load data into the SAP system did not function in the new system.  The following work was performed to replace and/or correct these programs.

MM

Migration          Developed a material master load program using the SAP Direct Input process.  The program created materials for seven material groups, each having different data requirements (data views).  Materials created were extended to plant and storage locations.  The program also created material classifications and assigned manufacturing plant information.  The developed program accessed EXCEL spreadsheet data,  provided the option of viewing the formatted data using a direct input utility and provided the option to simulate the material load to validate the input data.    

QM

Migration          Modified the Create Material Routings data load program to process data correctly on the CA01 (Create Standard Routings) transaction. The program establishes material routings for plant work centers.

Company:        Brookshire Grocery Company, Tyler, Texas      

Dates:               July 2004 – August 2004

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 4.7)

 

Interface

Utility                Developed the technical design for a Unix shell script needed to trigger SAP batch jobs to process inbound interface data files.  The Unix script functioned as “Middleware” for all inbound interfaces.  The technical design was presented to the Basis team for approval.  The design document described all interface functionality such as waking up at specified intervals to check for data, raising SAP events to kick off interface batch jobs and writing interface activity to a log file (for process review / debugging capabilities). 

FI

Interface           Developed an inbound SAP interface to clear Account Payable checks.  The development of this interface required the following:

1-    Developed naming standards for data files, programs, batch jobs and SAP Events.

2-    Created an ABAP program to process the inbound bank data file:

a-    Read the bank data from a Unix file directory.

b-    Process the bank data into batch input sessions (FCH6 - Change Check Information).

c-    Use External Commands (from within the ABAP) to rename the input Unix file to have a processed date/time stamp and to move the file to a data archiving directory.

3-    Creating an SAP Batch Job to schedule the inbound interface.

4-    Setting up an SAP Event (used to trigger the interface batch job).

5-    Working with the Basis/Unix team to setup a Unix script needed to trigger the SAP inbound interfaces.  When     interface files are identified, the script executes Unix program sapevt.exe (with parameters) to raise SAP events to trigger corresponding interface batch jobs to run. Provided the sapevt.exe parameters needed to raise the SAP Event for AP Clear Checks interface.

Interface          

Utility                Developed 9 programs to provide the ability to perform table maintenance.  The tables were all user defined tables which contained Legacy/SAP cross reference information.  The work involved activating standard SAP table maintenance, using the data dictionary to add new table fields, creating field data elements, developing an ABAP program to capture record change information (date, time, userid) to the user table and to create transaction codes for each table maintenance process.  

MM      

Migration          Worked with the LSMW application which migrates vendor master data into the SAP system.  The vendor master conversion used several of the Legacy/SAP cross reference user tables described above (specifically customer account, payment terms and cost center translations.).  The LSMW application was tested to insure that the conversion rules within the field mapping definitions continued to function properly. 

MM      

Interface           Developed an outbound interface to send vendor master information to several mainframe legacy systems.  The development of this interface required the following:

1-    Creating an ABAP program to extract the vendor data from several SAP tables.

2-    Translating field values (SAP to Legacy).

3-    Preparing the interface data to a legacy system data format.

4-    Writing the data out to a Unix interface directory.

5-    Creating a SAP Batch Job to schedule the outbound interface.

6-    Executing a Unix script (from within the SAP batch job) to FTP the Unix outbound interface file to the mainframe system.  This was accomplished by using the “External Program” feature of the SAP Batch Job scheduler.

 

Company:        Cooper Cameron, Houston, Texas      

Dates:               October 2003 – January 2004

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 4.6C)

 

Cameron recently migrated from R/2 to R/3 which made some of the company reporting unavailable.  The plants locations documented report requests (application requirements) by referring to SAP transactions or reports and noting additional data needs.  Most of the report requests were lacking the level of detail needed to develop the applications.  Therefore, each “report sponsor” was interviewed (remotely) to determine all the report requirements pertaining to data collection (data selection options) and presentation (report output format).  Technical information (such as data sources, calculations and data processing) we’re not provided.  This information was obtained by studying the referred-to SAP transactions (or reports) while they were executed in debug mode.  This process of studying the SAP applications also uncovered valuable subroutines (function modules) which were incorporated in the developed report programs.  The report sponsors supported the application development process by making themselves available (remotely) to answer questions, perform testing and to provide application acceptance.

PP

Reporting          Developed a report which provides information about production orders that have material components in a backordered status (inventory not available).  For each material component, the program calculates the available inventory by obtaining the current on-hand inventory level and subtracting all material requirements (order reservations, dependent requirements and customer orders).  The collected material requirements data was also used to support a popup window, displayed when a material component was selected for additional information.  The report also has the functionality to jump to other SAP transactions to display materials, inventory levels and production orders.  This report is being used daily by production planners to address production backorder issues.    

PP

Reporting          Developed a forecast deviation report which allows planners to evaluate the sales forecast of materials (or BOM’s) to customer bookings, or customer sales, or plant production quantities.  Additional report information includes the calculation of the forecast deviation (shown as a unit deviation and a percentage deviation).  

PP

Reporting          Developed a daily unit scheduling report for production planners to balance the manufacturing capacities of product assemblies (material components) by plant location.  The report program collected capacity requirements from production work orders as well as planning orders for the plant.         

LO

Reporting          The company required a process to perform ABC Analysis on component level materials only.  The SAP transaction MC40 (Usage-Based ABC Analysis) performs analysis on all materials not distinguishing materials from their components.  A new transaction (ZMC40) was developed, which runs the SAP MC40 program modules with the ability to exclude materials by MRP controller from the process.

PP

Reporting          Developed a capacity load report which replaces a manual spreadsheet application which plant locations updated weekly.  The report information consisted of work center capacity allocations and capacity requirements (from work orders and planned orders).  The capacity data was retrieved from the SAP system using BAPI applications. The capacity data was organized by work center into 12 weekly buckets.  Subtotals by work center hierarchy were included.  The report also calculated the percentage of the capacity load (all the order requirements) verses the capacity allocation for each weekly period.  To allow production planners to have the ability to perform analysis with the capacity load data, the report program was developed with the option to output the report data directly into an Excel spreadsheet which the planners could manipulate. 

PP

Reporting          Developed a program to perform a collective conversion of planned orders.  SAP transaction CO41 performs this function but the transaction does not display all the needed information about the related order materials.  The report program performs the same data collection as transaction CO41 plus the retrieval of material velocity codes.  One or many of the planned orders displayed on the report can be selected for conversion.   The program calls SAP transaction CO40 to process each selected planned order into a production order.  The production order number created from the SAP transaction is captured and applied to the report to provide a confirmation that the conversion was successful.  The report also has the functionality to jump to the material view, planned order view and production order view transactions to obtain more detailed information. 

PP

Reporting          Developed a report to display planned orders (similar to the SAP transaction MD16).  The report has more data selection options (plant, MRP controller, material and planned order date) and displays additional information about the materials on the orders.  The report has the option to export the collected data to Excel for spreadsheet analysis and manipulation.                                                               

PP

Reporting          Modified the existing shop load report (also referred to as dispatch lists).  The report program was changed to allow selected work orders to be re-sequenced for production planning.  This was accomplished by exporting report work order information to an Excel spreadsheet where the sequence of the work orders could be changed by planners.  When the sequencing of the work orders is accomplished, the spreadsheet data is reapplied to the report changing the sequence of the report data.  The report is being used by production planners to prioritize work orders at plant locations.

SD

Reporting          Developed a report to provide information about the processing time between order entry and shipment confirmation (delivery to the customer).  This report was titled the “Cycle Time Delivery Report”.  The report would allow order selection by plant, material, material hierarchy, customer, MRP controller or sales office.  In addition to displaying material, customer and order information, the program calculated the number of calendar days and work days between the order creation date and the date of when the order was shipped to the customer.  The SAP factory calendar was used to determine the number of work days between the dates.  The sales department is using this report to measure customer delivery performance.     

MM

Reporting          Developed a report to display information about material unplanned consumption.  The SAP transaction MM03 (MRP1 Data) shows this information for one material at a time.  The report allows many materials to be displayed by plant and MRP controller.  The report program uses the fiscal year/periods table (T009B) to determine the current reporting period and the next 11 future periods.  Material unplanned consumption values are shown over a calculated 12 period range.  The report has the option to export the collected data to Excel for spreadsheet analysis and manipulation.

Position:          SAP Developer/Consultant (SAP R/3 4.6.D)

 

FI

Interface           Developed an outbound interface application to extract accounts receivable open items.  The application created an output UNIX file locally (data archiving with date/time stamp) which was then sent to a remote IP address using several SAP function modules.

SD

Reporting          The Solvay company had a need to understand customer net pricing.  A report program was developed to collect customer, material, billing and pricing data.  The report allowed customer pricing to be viewed by different customer levels (payer, soldto shipto).  The pricing data consisted of sales price, rebates, commissions and computed net price which was organized by material and shipping condition.

PS

Reporting          Developed a Capital Project Summary report for the FI team.  The program collected data from the Project, WBS Master, Project Info, Project Applicant and Company Codes tables.

MM

Interface           Created two inbound interface applications which processed data from the British Petroleum Company.  One interface created material reservations and the second created goods issues postings.

FI

Reporting          Developed an application which reported on the Accrual of Goods Receipts for Non Valuated Freight.  The report collected data from the Purchasing, Customer, Vendor, Account Assignment and Profitability tables.  The report was developed with options to also post journal entries to record an end-of-month accrual for freight costs related to deliveries of split shipments.

MM

Data Extracts    Created two data extract programs to support the SAP Joint Venture project (Solvay America / British Petroleum).  The extracts involved Purchasing Info Record and Customer Specs data from the Solvay SAP system.  The programs are run by BP business analysts in the Solvay system to extract data and download the information into the BP system. 

MM

Interface           Developed an outbound interface application to extract Inventory Onhand Balances. The application created an output UNIX file locally which was then sent to a remote IP address using SAP function modules.

FI

Reporting          Developed a Tax Audit Report which collected data from the Accounting, Vendor, Purchasing, WBS Element and G/L Accounts Cleared Items tables.  The report allowed for the control of report data by means of many select options.  The report data was organized by company code, fiscal year and Accounting Documents.  The report detail included account open items posted to expense accounts as well as account closed items.  These account items were then linked to other related tables to collect all the needed financial data to support the tax audit.

BW

Data Extracts    Developed applications to extract Material and Vendor Master data from the Solvay production system.  The process to create the BW extracts included the following work:  

1-    Extract the raw data per specifications.

2-    Review data with business analyst to remove redundant/bad information.

3-    Data Modeling: Mapping the R/3 data into the BW Master table formats.

4-    Loading the BW Master Data. (Infocubes)

BW

Queries             Created Infoset Queries for the Material and Vendor Master BW Infocubes.  These Queries were used as templates by the Solvay MM business community.  Business analysts copied the template query and made adjustments to create different views of the data.  The initial queries that I provided was copied by many business analysts, each template query copied 20+ times.

Migration          Created three data migrations to re-state plant maintenance task lists (equipment, functional location and general task lists) for the JV plant locations.

MM

Migration          The technical staff at the Solvay company decided to load material master records using the SAP Direct Input method.  Due to the complexity of the data to be loaded, the assigned Solvay analyst was having a lot of trouble getting the migration process to work.  I was assigned to review the work that was done and to provide consulting services.  Within a couple of days, the processing issues were resolved and the migration process was reviewed / approved.

Interface

Utility                Created an SAP interface utility to provide information about processed interface data files.

The application was designed to process data files within a specified UNIX interface directory.  The files read from the directory were used to locate/collect data from within the SAP system to identify  how the files were processed. Information organized for the output report included data such as the UNIX directory (file path), file name/description, the related program name/description, variant name, batch job name/description, file create date and the create userid.

Reporting          Developed Plant Maintenance reporting for Plant Lubrication Routes.  The report determines all the lubrication areas currently defined in the system and lists them on the report.  The program was developed with drill down capabilities to access the lubrication routes data for each area shown.

Utility

Application       Co-developed an SAP application which allows scanning programming code in ABAP programs, Function Modules or Layout Sets.  The program is used as a research tool to identify similar applications which require the same modification.  The report has drill down capabilities to allow individual programs to be studied (in the ABAP editor).

PM

Migration          Performed a PM data migration for Functional Location Bills of Material.

 

Custom

Application       Developed an SAP application (YHNOTIFY) which monitors the execution of batch jobs in the production system.  The application analyzes all batch job failures on an hourly basis.  For the jobs identified as being business critical the application sends a beeper page to the analyst on call.

Application

Standards         Using Microsoft FrontPage, application development standards were prepared for the client.  The web based solution provided a structured method of presenting the standards information.  Organization of the information, drilldown capability to supporting information (examples) and easy access by analysts via the companies Intranet were benefits of this approach.
