What do you do , when you get a GAP ? What is FIT-GAP analysis ?..

Answer / hemant patidar

Gap Analysis:

In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world or in
Information Technology world, gap analysis is the study of
the differences between two different information systems or
applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with
Client and new is SAP), 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 Blueprintstage.
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 customised 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 requirment 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.

Answer / kirankodidela

Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis.
