Purpose

Prior to SP 3, SAP xRPM uses a fixed set of unit for the role demand and resource assignment: HRS, DAY, FTE.

·,,The unit HRS stands for one hour.

·,,The unit DAY stands for a person working day. The meaning of the unit DAY depends on the role location for role demand and the resource location for resource assignment. Behind each location, a fixed number of working hours per day is stored and is used when you convert the unit DAY to HRS.

·,,The unit FTE stands for Full Time Equivalent. The exact meaning of FTE is also location-dependent. For each location, a factory calendar and a fixed number of hours per day is stored. The number of hours of one FTE in a day interval equals the number of working days (determined by the factory calendar) multiplied by the number of hours per day.

In other SAP applications, in most cases, the standard unit table T006 is used for the time unit. This unit table can be configured by the customer. In order to simplify the interface with other SAP applications, the decision was made to convert the SAP xRPM unit to the standard T006 unit.

For this purpose, a data conversion program is provided to convert the units used in SAP xRPM to standard T006 table units. After you upgrade to SP 3 and before you create any new SAP xRPM projects, you have to do the following:

1),,Back up the role demand and resource assignment table.

You use the RPM_BACKUP_UNITS_DATA program to back up all the existing role demand and resource assignment data. Check the data in the tables RPM_ROLE_AVL_BAK., RPM_ROLE_AVL, RPM_REL_ALLOC_BK, and RPM_RELATE_ALLOC. They must be consistent.

2),,Check the configuration for the unit of measurement.

Ensure that the units FTE and DAY are not configured as a time unit. If they are configured as a time unit, delete them from the time unit configuration. FTE is a specific unit in SAP xRPM. Do not configure it as a time unit in table T006. You can add DAY as a time unit again after you have converted all projects by running the conversion program in update mode.

3),,Test the data conversion program RPM_CONVERT_DATA_FOR_UNIT_RL23.

To assist you with testing, the conversion program provides you with a simulation mode, where you can display the conversion results for some or all projects without updating the database. Check the results of the simulation run.

4),,Execute this program RPM_CONVERT_DATA_FOR_UNIT_RL23 in update mode with the simulation mode turned off. After the projects are converted, the project IDs are saved in a table so that they will not be converted again unintentionly in the following conversion runs.

Perform these activities in the specified order, before you create any new projects.

Integration

Prerequisites

Features

Selection

On the selection screen, you can enter either a single project to test the conversion, or an interval of projects to test the conversion. If you do not make an entry, all projects are converted.

If you turn the simulation mode on, the database is not updated. If you turn the simulation mode off, the database is updated.

On the selection screen, you have to enter a standard T006 time unit for one hour. You also need to enter a standard T006 time unit into which all the demand and resource assignments will be converted.
