News for FI-CO Friends: Worth Visiting New SAP Influence Site

ASUG has an upcoming webcast on the new site this week – called “Idea Place Product Session Migration and the New Customer Influence Continuous Influencing Process“.  Register here.

I know I’ve been struggling with the new site, but after spending some time on it, it was worth it.

First, finding your way:

Go to https://www.sap.com/about/customer-involvement/input-beta-testing.influence-opportunities.html

Click on Customer Connection

For those interested in FI-CO, I highlight the items above.

Click on Delivered

This is a lot to take in, so I download to Excel:

Yesterday I thought the links did not work, but some of them do.  So if the links above don’t work, review the SAP Note on the right.

Here are some interesting ideas already delivered:

2383913 – Customer Connect CO: Enable overall on/off switch for OKP1 (Period Lock)

“This SAP Note delivers the solution for the Customer Connect request D11135, which enable over all on/off switch for transaction OKP1 (Period Lock).” Source: SAP

Old OKP1 before improvement:

After:

Now the controller can block/unlock all.

PS: New transaction for mass status change

Generic Search of Transactions, Documents

From the SAP Note:

“SE16T, KOBJ, KTABL, and KTRAN

Transaction

KOBJ is used to search for any objects in any tables

KTABL is used to search for tables and table names

KTRAN is used to search for transactions

SE16T combines the functions of all three transactions and is intended primarily for the IT department.” Source: SAP

These are really interesting.  I tried a few below:

KOBJ transaction:

So I searched for an element and then it comes back and says it is a WBS.

KTABL transaction

I searched for BKPF table and it returns tables with that name.

KTRAN transaction

Searching for CJ20N

SE16T transaction

I entered a document number and it found an accounting document

I entered another number and it found the number is a cost center
