WHAT IS SAP ROLLOUT?

SAP roll out means reuse of existing implementation cycle and business processes at the new location. For the roll out, we need to do the same basic settings according to location of the implementation.

In SAP roll out project, there is no need to do everything from scratch. The team needs to work on logos, company code, printouts etc. Suppose one group of company is implementing SAP at one or more places, than in that case company will conduct full-fledged implementation of SAP at one place and subsequently adopt almost same processes of earlier implementation with small changes if needed to adjust working practices, change management and people integration to suit organizational requirement.

In case of a multinational company, geographical consideration needs to be considered along with some important settings; for example, some configuration settings may not be relevant for another country.

In case of differences in processes in both countries, then we need to be careful. Because the configuration settings are implemented for one country may not be useful for other country. So just need check all the business process and then do the necessary configuration. In full life cycle project, we need to analyze customer requirements from scratch but in roll out project only local requirements are considered.

Rollout exactly means, expanding the business after Implementation.

An Organization which is started in one country, expanding their services to other countries, follows Rollout.

Exactly in Rollout we can find that the Organization works accordingly to Government there in other countries like

Taxation: As the taxation will be different in other countries. Ex: Some allowances, Income Tax, etc.

Master Data: As the new employees join the organization
