Emerging Technologies !!!
By Suren
With so many new technologies popping up within the already complicated business technology landscape, it is easy to miss out on the new developments emerging in our industry that have an implication on how we do things.
I’ve listed down some good reads about the latest technology to hit the business landscape in consideration to ERP systems:
Would recommend that you take some time to read about the above, since after all, knowing what is out there is always a good thing.
Have a nice day!!

With so many new technologies popping up within the already complicated business technology landscape, it is easy to miss out on the new developments emerging in our industry that have an implication on how we do things.
I’ve listed down some good reads about the latest technology to hit the business landscape in consideration to ERP systems:
- SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) - SAP HANA promises near real-time analysis of dynamic data within SAP applications as well as external systems to deliver time-sensitive insight
- Adaptation of Cloud Computing & virtualization (as always) by ERPs
- Consumerization of IT (Link to my previous article)
- Parallel Computing
- B2? – This is something I’ve coined up; I’ll be putting out an article on this soon. It’s just my way of communicating that no longer would businesses always depend on B2B or B2C solutions; instead the new trend is to identify what serves them best in terms of cost and efficiency. So then what is it going to be, B2?? Read about how B2B and B2C work and how they could be aligned together.
Would recommend that you take some time to read about the above, since after all, knowing what is out there is always a good thing.
Have a nice day!!

Modifiying the Drill Down Reports !!
By Suren
This post is to simply list down some basic steps on how to modify the drill down reports that are built in SAP to reflect the Vendor and Customer balances. The report shows balances in a vertical format, but most often the clients want them in a horizontal format with the balances shown separately under each day range.
For this you simply need to do the following, however I would recommend that you first do this in a sandbox client and then try this in the production client, remember however that once the form is changed, all users would see the new horizontal form.
- Go to FKI2 if you want to change the report parameters. This is how the form would initially look like:
- Go to FKI5 to change the form. These changes can be done in the path in SPRO, under Info System under the AP/AR main node.
- Go to the “Define Form” and choose to “Change. If the client don’t want to see the Not Due and Total OI column in every time intervals then select the “Not Due” column and the “Total OI” column and go to extras “Drill down Display -> Undo Selection”. Then delete these columns from the form.
- After this just rename the date ranges to calculate the balance different for the day ranges that the clients wants to see. Finally the form would look like this:
That's about it. Just a few simple steps to change the form in SAP to a more readable format, and in case you want to bring back the old report format then you can overwrite this report by selecting the Environment -> Import Report, option in FKI5.
All the best !!
