PurposeThe purpose of this document is to give future and current Solution Manager (SOLMAN) users knowledge on how to work with SOLMAN. Only functionalities regarded as relevant for the use of SOLMAN in Danfoss IT will be presented and described. This handbook describes how to perform different tasks in SOLMAN. Please be sure to have read the general rules for using SOLMAN first. (You will find them in Standard 500B1032)

Introduction and logon informationSOLMAN is a tool for operating, implementing and documenting SAP projects. SOLMAN is useful during an SAP project and afterwards it is useful in relation to support.

The short description for SOLMAN in the Logon Pad is PS0. SOLMAN also has a test system called TS0. TS0 is for experimenting with SOLMAN and there is no connection at all between PS0 and TS0 (i.e. no transporting between the two systems). Below you can see a list of necessary information if you need to add PS0 or TS0 to your SAP Logon Pad.

What is a SOLMAN project?SOLMAN is divided into projects:

Each project consists of a Process Model where transactions, IMG objects (for customizing), and documentation for that project is stored. The Process Model is described in detail later. In Danfoss IT we use three different kinds of projects:

THE DANFOSS TEMPLATE PROJECT (The master template from which we copy when creating new system templates):

SYSTEM TEMPLATE PROJECTS (Typically there is one system template project per SAP system except for P08 where we have two system templates – one for sales companies and one for production companies):

IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS (These are copied from system templates and can for example be used when rolling out a system template to different countries. They are not relevant for basis support):

NOTE: When you are working on a Danfoss IT project, e.g. DKDD, you are both interested in the system template (for general P02 documentation) and the DKDD implementation project where you create company deviation documentation.

NOTE: All basis support is done via the system templates. No support relevant documentation is in implementation projects. Before a project is handed over to support the company deviation documentation is moved from the implementation to the system template project.

The SOLMAN Process Model - a three level structure

A SOLMAN project consists of a Process Model (see Figure 1). The DANFOSS TEMPLATE Process Model aims at covering all business processes relevant for the Danfoss companies (production, sales, finance etc.). You are advised to familiarize yourself with the DANFOSS TEMPLATE Process Model since all SOLMAN projects use the whole of or parts of this process model.

A SOLMAN Process Model is hierarchical and consists of three levels. The Process Model can be accessed in both Business Blueprint and Configuration mode (see below). However, editing the structure is only possible in Business Blueprint mode (which is only done by SOLMAN super users). The difference between Business Blueprint and Configuration is explained in detail later in the handbook under the headings “Business Blueprint” and “Configuration”.

Figure 1: How to access the Business Blueprint and the Configuration mode.

NOTE: You are advised to familiarize yourself with the process model in the DANFOSS TEMPLATE project since this process model is used in all other SOLMAN projects.

The three levels in the Process Model are: Scenario level Business Process level Process Step level

Figure 2: The three levels in the Process Model

Transactions, IMG objects (for customizing) and documentation can be added to a SOLMAN project on all three levels. However, you are advised to add transactions and IMG objects on the process step level only (or under “Organizational Units” or “Master Data” as these pins contain only one level).

From the process model it is possible to “jump” to SAP systems that are connected to the SOLMAN project you are in. Each project is connected to systems relevant for this project (e.g. a P08 project will be connected to T08, Q08 and P08). This means that if you have added a transaction or an IMG object in a specific project you can jump directly to this transaction or customizing point in the target system. When you are finished in the target system you can go directly back to the SOLMAN project and, if you have customized, document your customizing.

Adding transactions, IMG objects and documentation is described in detail later.

Business Blueprint modeIn Business Blueprint mode you can edit the Process Model and select what is in and out of scope (only in implementation projects). No configuration can be done in this mode. Hence, the Business Blueprint mode is only for scoping and blueprinting (Creating documentation of the “To-be Business Processes”).

Below is a screen shot of what you can see when entering the Business Blueprint mode:

Creating, deleting or editing business scenarios, business processes or process steps

If you believe a change is necessary, DO NOT make this change yourself. Instead, create a ticket via 6111 explaining why you want this change. Then the Information Architects will decide if this change is to be carried out. If they decide to make the change, the SOLMAN super users will make this change in all SOLMAN structures.

When is an entry in the Process Model a Process Step and when is it a document?

Sometimes it can be difficult to decide how many Process Steps are needed to describe a given business case. Imagine having to document many different order types. In theory one could either create many Process Steps, or one could upload many documents on the same Process Step. Both solutions would be usable, however, in Danfoss it has been decided, that we only create new Process Steps, if the business process behind differs substantially from other Process Steps. I.e. if two ordertypes are practically the same, they do not require two different Process Steps, but can be described in two documents uploaded on the same Process Step.

The following rule describes in general when it is okay to create a new Process Step and when a given Business Process needs to be described as documents on a Business Process step level in the Process Model:

Example:

The sales order types: Many of them behave almost identically but have different names. If they are almost identical they are DOCUMENTS on a Process Step - Use for example the template: “Danfoss Business Process Description” to describe each of them. If an order type performs differently from the others: e.g. a Credit Memo Request vs. a Return Order, THEN it is a new Process Step! (See Figure 35)

How to make Forms, Programs/Interfaces etc. visible in the process model

Interfaces/forms/programs/user exits are created as Process Steps in SOLMAN. They are described in documents (in the tab “Gen.Documentation”) on the Process Step level.

Example: How to make EDI visible in the Process Model

In order to secure a standardized naming of these special processes the following names can be used to make forms, programs etc. visible in the Process Model:

EDI (DEDID + Table setup)Workflow processingFormsUser exits, Programs and Tables (Danfoss developed)Forms, Programs and user exits are maintained by Programming Office and therefore the documentation is kept in Development Object database. During projects it can be kept in SOLMAN until handed over to Programming Office. Once it has been handed over, it must still be visible in SOLMAN that there exists a program/interface/form. This is done by uploading an empty document. In the title of the document you must write the development object number, ex: “Purchase Order Form - dev. obj. no. 123456”

Configuration modeSOLMAN is not only a documentation tool, but can also be used as a project implementation tool. This means that you can control the configuration of your target system via SOLMAN. To do this you must make sure that SOLMAN is connected to the target system (if you experience problems, please contact a SOLMAN application consultant). But you must also make sure that the IMG Objects used to configure the target system are added to your SOLMAN project.

The idea is that you once and for all copy relevant IMG “shortcuts” to SOLMAN Process Steps. Once you have done this you can enter the IMG via SOLMAN using the shortcuts, and it will be very easy for others to see how the system has been configured on every Process Step.

Assigning and accessing IMG Objects in SOLMAN is very easy as can be seen in the two following descriptions.

NOTE: Please add IMG objects in the “Configuration” tab instead of adding customizing transactions (e.g. VOTX) in the “Transactions” tab.

NOTE: You can also type in customizing transactions, e.g. VOTX, directly in the object field in the “Configuration” tab. But this should be combined with an IMG Object so that other SOLMAN users will know where in the IMG these transactions lead to.

Documentation

Creating new documentation1. Select the position in the Process Model where you want to add documentation.2. Click on the “Gen. Documentation” tab (or “Proj. Documentation if you are in an

implementation project). 3. Press the “Insert Document” icon. Here you will see a list of all current documentation

available at the relevant position in the Process Model (Look in Corporate Standard 500B1032 to learn about the different documentation templates).

4. Give the document a title (VERY IMPORTANT: Choose your words carefully and make them as descriptive as possible. You need to be especially careful because the reporting functionality uses the title when searching for documents. The title search functionality is in fact the only way to search for specific documents based on their content). Also note that if there is a Development Object connected to the documentation, it is important to mention the Task ID in the Title. And if the documentation contains info about a Y/Z table it is a good idea to include the table name in the title.

5. Select documentation type and press the radio button ”Create New Document”. 6. Select a status for your document: When a document is not finished, it status must be: “In

processing”. When a document IS finished, its status must be “Released”. Press enter.7. An empty document is opened in Word or Excel. Fill out the document and press save.

Close the Word or Excel window and press “Yes” when asked if you want to save the changes.

Adding keywords to documents

When you have created a document it is important to add one or more keywords to this document. This is useful when making reports. As a minimum, it is required that you add the SAP application area that this document is relevant for. All application areas have been created as keywords. In some projects other keywords may have been added as well. Therefore, look at all keywords and see if it makes sense to add any of them to your document.

If new keywords are wanted, e.g. by a project team member or a project manager, they can be requested through your SOLMAN super user.

How to add keywords to documents:

1. Select the document you want to add keywords to.2. Click on the “Attribute” icon.3. Select one or more relevant keywords.4. Save.

Searching for documents via their titles

1. Click on one of the two “Documentation” menu entries in the “Project Analysis” menu (Figure 20 - page 25).

2. In the “Name” field, type in the words you want the document title to contain. If you know the entire title of the document, simply type in the title and press F8. If you want to search for document titles containing a particular word (e.g. “Order”), type in the word in the following way: “*order*” and press F8. This will result in a list of all documents with the word “Order” in their title.
