Hi sap consultants especially ABAPERS!
Anyone who can help me with my requirement, i need to create a custom report program for transaction qi01 and qi02, QINFO RECORDS.
BDC is working properly, but ang problema ko yung added requirement na kelangan magkaroon ng 'CREATE ATTACHMENT' dun sa program just like what the transaction have. pag Create ng QINFO records pde dapat mag attach ng file, could be pdf, bin, jpeg, etc...
May gumawa naba nito sa inyo? pa help naman po.
SALAMAT!

Try to research "GOS" Generic Object Services. If this is applicable.

Good luck

hi Sir Lance Edward,

I am a computer science graduate way back 1999, though after graduation hindi po kasi IT line of work ako napunta, it is more of supply chain operations, particularly in supply planning. I have been expose in different manufacturing industries from from different MNC pero as supply planning supervisor. i was able to be exposed sa oracle at SAP (planning module).

it was only at this moment that i realized to go back and explore my degree course. am i already late po ba? interested po ako sana sa SAP eh. willing po ako mag start as entry level possible pa po kaya? at more than willing po ako na i train at mag back to zero po, basta po matutunan ko lang yun basic requirement and from them pagsisikapan ko po na umangat ulit.

yun mga exposure ko po sa SAP is more of master data, APO, RRP3, SNP93 planning modules po.

may alam po ba kayo na tumatanggap ng SAP trainee po sa mga case na kagaya ko po?

maraming salamat

Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. May mga local companies naman na tumatanggap ng trainee. Subukan mo mag apply, tingnan mo sa jobstreet/jobsdb kung sino ngayon ang hiring. Ang karaniwang dilemma ng shifters eh pay cut. Lahat naman magstart at entry level sa SAP, pero may advantage ka na, alam mo na un concepts at transactions sa planning modules. Try mo magapply as PP consultant tapos kung may APO rin sila mag specialize ka, konti lang kilala kong marunong mag APO. Good luck!

worst case scenario siguro yung mano mano yung pag migrate, as in copy paste into tables sa SAP haha! May friend akong MDM dati ganyan nangyari sa kanila, tuwing shift nila wala silang ginawa kundi mag copy from a third party software at paste sa table sa sap

Hehehe marami talagang SAP consultant na walang real understanding ng SAP. Ang daming tools to migrate data from 3rd party and manual copy paste is probably one of the worst option except siguro kung 10 rows lang migrate nila

madali lang po ba mag aral ng sap abap from scratch ?

On a purely semantic POV, abap is one of the easiest. Napakadali lang ng syntax. The problem is very wide ang SAP. Sometimes you need to know functional and most learn by experience

Abap itself is really big and even people with more than 10 years experience havent really mastered ABAP kasi it grows bigger and bigger with newer technologies. If you stop learning, you would be behind.

To be really competitive dapat very diverse yung experience mo

[randmcnally]

balita ko sobrang sisiw daw ng ABAP compared to Java? totoo ba?

Hindi rin! Hahah java is somewhat easier kasi it's uniform in all aspects. Abap is not. Abap is really wide spectrum of different technologies tapos you have seemingly infinite number of options that are not really documented in any "abap bible of sorts". Kung abap report lang vs java, of course. Pero it's not limited to that

Pano yung WDP, adobe interactive forms? Narinig na ba ng abaper mo yung POWL. What i mean is abap is ever changing and they dont have a strict standard (though oop yung de facto standard for the newer developments)

So yes in semantics it is easier pero in actual development i wouldnt really say so. But thats just me baka iba lang ang absorption ko sa both. Sa akin kasi as long as the semantics is standard, it's easier

Pero di ko naman sinasabi na mahirap si abap

[anthonyjpv3]

Any Good-Better-Best Companies which offers great training for fresh grad as a SAP consultant?

Any Book/Website that you know can help when learning SAP from scratch?

Any other advice?

Thanks!

I agree 101%... ABAP technology is constantly changing... ABAP WebDynpro with Rich Island is a good example .

Hello pinoy ABAPERS!
I'm having a problem in attaching 4 character file extension to GOS using an ABAP, 3 character file extension works fine.

The evil geniuses from the Microsoft’s Department of Screw-You-All decided to mess with the file extensions: familiar ‘doc’ for some reason has become ‘docx’ and ‘xls’ – ‘xlsx’. And while the above mentioned file name expansion in Windows 95 at least had some benefits for the users, this one is just an act of pure evil, if you ask me. Is there a single person in the whole world who is not employed by Microsoft and cares for these new extensions? I honestly doubt that. But noooo, they just had to do this… What is wrong with these people?

Oh well, the sad reality is that now even ABAP developers have to deal with this somehow. It looks like even the SAP masterminds did not expect such audacious move by Microsoft (check and mate!), because all the function modules that are somehow involved with the file manipulations (including SO_OBJECT_INSERT, which I used in my previous GOS-related post) have allocated only 3 characters for the variable to hold the file extension.

So far I have been unable to get it to work absolutely correctly with the Word 2007 files. The files do open, but Word keeps complaining that they’re corrupt and wants to “recover” them. If you click “Yes’ to recover, the file will open just fine, but this is very confusing and annoying to the users.
PLEASE HELP!

[haringdota60]

ang Sap ba at ERP same lang?

[jensen83]

nope.. SAP is an example of ERP system..

[itsmenow]

bakit kaya naging sobrang popular ang SAP compare sa ibang erp systems? tsaka ang lalaki ng sahod nyo, hehe compare sa mga ibang soft dev. hehe

[Achillios]

Career shifter ako and sana may mahanap akong company na willing mag train kahit may bond. Mukang ok kasi ang pay at stable ang industry ng SAP.

Sad to say sap hasnt provided a real solution for this one so far but there are some workarounds to the problem. Exactly the same problem with email attachment from SAP. Though there are already a number of discussions in sap forums sharing the same problem and some have workaround of sorts

[randmcnally]

bakit kaya naging sobrang popular ang SAP compare sa ibang erp systems? tsaka ang lalaki ng sahod nyo, hehe compare sa mga ibang soft dev. hehe

There's a whole lot of comparison how sap became popular but more importantly, sap hleads the market with 25% market share in erp. The next leading erp, oracle, has 16% then sage with 6%. If you own a quarter of the market, bet that you must be really popular. Now, if you are asking how they got there in the first place, mahaba habang usapan yan. Secondly, with regards to salary, baka overstated lang pero hindi naman sobrang laki ng sahod sa sap. Minsan malaki pero may mga companies din na hindi naman kalakihan ang bigay (though "laki" is subjective). Malaki ang sahod ng sap consultant because of supply and demand especially 4-5 years back. Remember 25% market tapos hindi ganon kalakihan ang supply ng skilled sap consultant, it would force the salary/price of consultants up. Pero for some ingat lang sa expectation. For some medyo overrated ang expectation tulad ng mga naririnig ko sa mga iba

Hello Sir Lance Edward,

Salamat po! Nabuhayan naman ako ng loob.. =) Actually nag try po ako mag hanap ng mga company na nag aaccept ng SAP Trainee. Tapos nag response po sa akin yung Kaisa... sa qc po sila di ba... they are inviting me for interview and exam po eh.

familiar po ba kayo sa Kaisa? are they headhunter po ba? kasi naguluhan ako sa profile nun company sa net eh.. nakalagay they offer training, pero i hire ka nila.. pero sa ad nila nakalagay "our client is a leading FMCG company". Naisip ko tuloy aka headhunter sila...

sensya na po... hope to hear more from you Sir.

salamat po

Kaisa is a consulting company itself. Oo, sa Roces Ave, QC yan. Si Joei yata un HR Maraming taga-Kaisa or ex-Kaisa dito sa thread na ito. Kaisa will hire you and send you to training. Ang alam ko kasama na rin yun pagkuha ng certification after ng training although may bond. Normal lang na may bond kasi the training itself is worth hundreds of thousands of pesos pag nag enroll ka. Pero wag ka mag focus sa bond, focus on the experience na makukuha mo. Their client is an FMCG kasi they do implementation/supports projects for different companies. Good luck! ; )

Hi po. I need a little help lang.

I'm a fresh grad and got recently hired. Expected ko talaga sa programming ako ilalagay pero sa SAP SD bootcamp ako nilagay. Ang problema ay wala talaga akong background dito sa SAP and I'm having a hard time.

Nung first 3 days ng training ang pinag-aralan namin is order to cash cycle. Masyadong fast paced yung training kaya minsan mahirap na sundan.

Hindi naman ako makapag-practice dito sa bahay ng SAP at nagre-rely lang ako sa handout na binigay samin pero hindi masyadong detailed.

Sa mga experts diyan, pwede po bang makahingi ng advise dito sa SAP SD especially dun sa order to cash cycle. Wala po akong masyadong makitang online tutorials and e-books tungkol dito eh. Sana po meron kayong pwedeng i-share.

Salamat po.

Bakit ka pumayag na sa SD ka ilagay kung programming pala gusto mo? Nevertheless, kung sa ABAP ka ilagay pareho lang, dahil baka hindi mo rin alam ang ABAP language since fresh grad ka. Ang problem sa hiring ng fresh grad ay wala pang domain experience.

Maraming online tutorial and ebooks na nagkalat about SAP. Yan ang maganda sa SAP, merong established community na to support. I hate to say this but please try to use Google first to look for what you need. Here is a link to SAP Help ng SD http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp...9/frameset.htm Yan na ang bible mo simula ngayon. Good luck. Welcome to the club
