The only constant in business is change. Simply driving cost and delay out of core operations no longer guarantees success. Efficiency remains vital, but to compete in today’s business environment companies also need to be agile, flexible, and innovative. They need to take a holistic view of the enterprise, across organizational and geographic boundaries, product boundaries, and system boundaries. In fact, the business’s “value chain” is no longer even confined within the company walls. Customers, suppliers, and third parties have become an integral part of the end-to-end business processes defining the new extended enterprise.

Transfer of PRICAT-Messages (SD-MD-PL) Use This business process allows you to export a logical message type PRICAT from R/3 to an external system, via ALE and IDocs, or to import it from an external system. (R/3 supports both EANCOM standard message type PRICAT and ANSI X12 transaction set 832.) This is useful, for example, if you want to: · Send a complete or partial list of your product offering (including prices) to your customers · Send your data to a central database in PRICAT message format so that it is available so that authorized customers and suppliers can access it. · Receive automatic notification of new or updated product and pricing information from your suppliers or from a central database.

Time Management (PT) and Payroll (PY) components are closely linked in the R/3 System. The processing of time data for determining the gross wage takes place in the gross part of payroll. Subschema xT00 (x=country indicator) is used to process Time Management aspects within Payroll. These include: Creating the personal work schedule and, if necessary, importing the planned working times It is possible that differences between the times from the personal work schedule and the planned times may affect the monetary valuation of work performed.

Use Processes which cover more than one time zone primarily affect logistic functions such as availability checks, production planning, delivery scheduling, statistics and service provision, but they also affect financial accounting in areas such as treasury, inter-company transactions, and so on. This function enables you to use dates and times that are comparable and exchangeable in applications that are implemented worldwide. For time-related applications, the SAP system can use local dates and times for proposed dates and validations (for example, to ensure that a requested delivery date is not in the past).

The function library in R/3 provides a facility for generating and then downloading RFC programs to a workstation or PC. This facility is the RFC Interface Generator. With this tool, you can create RFC stub programs (that call SAP function modules) and example programs (that show how to call stub programs). The RFC Generator is only available for and in R/3 Systems and not for R/2 Systems. Generating RFC Stubs: RFC stub programs contain all the parameter-handling and communications necessary to call SAP function modules from a non-SAP System. Once a stub has been exported to your machine, you can compile it as a library file or DLL (dynamic-link library) routine. DLL routines can be called without having been linked together with your program at compile time. You can call DLL routines from any programming language whose compiler offers DLL options. (This includes, for example, most recent C and BASIC compilers.)
