    Gap Analysis in SAP

    Gap analysis identifies differences between a company's current business processes and needs compared to what an ERP system like SAP can provide. Gaps can be closed through custom development, workarounds, or leaving them unaddressed. User exits allow enhancing SAP functionality slightly, while larger deviations require reengineering processes or full custom ABAP development to meet requirements, such as adding new customer fields. Gap analysis is an important early step of an SAP implementation project.

    Gap Analysis In SAP

    Gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or
    applications( standard behaviour of SAP and our customer requirement) often for the
    purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes
    spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." 

    Gap Analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space. Actual Gap Analysis is
    time consuming and it plays vital role in Business Blueprint [AS IS Process] stage.

    A through Gap Analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates and its
    needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three
    outcomes which must be recorded and actioned,

    1. GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed

    2. GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is


    required

    3. GAP does not need to be closed.

    A point worth mentioning here is that at time people confuse between user-exits and
    Gap Analysis. User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard
    code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench, its not new
    functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the
    same code.

    Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once business Blueprint is finished we have
    to find the realization of sap system for client requirement and there will be certain gaps
    when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of
    business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations
    or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system.

    The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing
    functionality is industry-specific.

    Examples:

    In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy customer number which
    can be solved with User exit.

    In sales order we need customer Phone number, we can use user exit

    If client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station.
    Gap Filling:

    In order to fill this Gap, We Use The Enhancements, These Enhancements Divided Into
    Exits, Like User exits, Field Exits Screen Exits & Menu Exits. These Enhancements are used
    to update the standard program in its Respective Business Transactions, Used as a
    Gateway to Meet the Client Requirements.
