Roles of key users during SAP implementation

In the SAP implementation process, following the acceleration methodology (acceleratedsap, ASAP) will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

ASAP is a complete and fast implementation method for SAP to make R/3 Project Implementation simpler and more effective. Asap optimizes the control over the effective use of time, quality, and resources during the implementation process and is a complete implementation method covering all the basic elements for successful project implementation, it mainly includes the ASAP roadmap, SAP toolkit, SAP technical support and services, SAP training, and SAP reference model. Asap provides a process-oriented, clear, and concise project plan that provides step-by-step guidance throughout the R/3 implementation process. The roadmap consists of five steps: Project Preparation, business blueprint, implementation process, final preparation, launch, and technical support.

Through business process and organizational restructuring, sap r/3 organically integrates BPR with ERP. On the one hand, it needs to satisfy the customer's needs, and on the other hand, it also achieves modularization. Of course, it is difficult for an enterprise to implement SAP because its management mode and Business architecture have changed significantly. SAP's common experience is: strengthen communication and communication, and adopt a gradual optimization process. In the beginning, instead of taking the "fierce medicine", we insisted on continuous optimization. As the environment and people's concepts change, it is a kind of spiral upgrading and optimization process.

In this implementation process, people play a crucial role, especially "key-user )". Next, I will summarize the roles of key users in the five steps in the ASAP roadmap.

Project preparation stage

At this stage, key users are mainly involved in SAP modular training. from understanding the basic concepts of relevant modules to backend parameter configuration, front-end applications should be familiar with the functions of relevant modules of the SAP system, participate in the preparatory meetings of the project team to understand the project's organizational structure and the functions of the project team members.

Key users are involved in modular training.

Business Blueprint Design Stage

Key users in this phase should: (1) assist consultants in investigating the current business process of the company; (2) sort out the current business process documents according to the template; (3) participate in future organizational structure discussions; (4) participate in future process design; (5) prepare future process documents by template; (6) Conduct variance analysis; (7) collect currently used documents and reports; (8) analyze future report requirements; (9) collect static data; (10) collect permission requirements.

The main work of key users in this phase is: (1) Prepare the current situation process documents of the company; (2) participate in future Process discussions and make meeting minutes; (3) prepare future process documents; (4) write the development application document; (5) write the permission configuration document; (6) blueprint report.

System implementation phase

Key users in this phase are: (1 ). participate in system configuration; (2 ). unit test environment construction; (3 ). participate in unit testing; (4 ). build an integrated testing environment; (5 ). participate in integration testing; (6 ). static Data check; (7 ). participate in permission configuration and check permission control; (8 ). report development and testing; (9 ). dynamic Data Collection.

Key users in this phase mainly work in the following aspects: (1 ). compile the configuration document; (2 ). write unit test documents. (3 ). compile the integration test document. (4 ). sort static master data by template; (5 ). collect dynamic master data by template.

Final project preparation stage

Key users in this phase are: (1 ). end user training; (2 ). static data input; (3 ). inventory check; (4 ). dynamic Data input; (5 ). prepare the production system.

Key user work in this phase is: (1). Compile the end user operation manual; (2). Compare the development and production systems.

Online and post-launch support

In this phase, key users play the following roles: (1) Field troubleshooting; (2) Routine system maintenance; (3) Subsequent system optimization.

The main work of key users in this phase is: (1) Prepare routine system maintenance manuals; (2). Follow-up internal project implementation.
