3 System Setup & Preparation – System Administrator

Always check the SAP Best Practices Baseline package (Australia) - V1.604 Note for updates regarding the implementation of SAP Best Practices.

3.1 Install SAP ERP Prior to installation and activation of a SAP Best Practices package (SAP BP package), the target SAP Application Server (AS) must be installed with the Support Package Stack (SPS) specified in this chapter and the SAP notes as specified in detail in section SAP Notes and Messages in this guide. For SAP BP Baseline packages (SAP BP BL packages) this is SAP ERP AS ABAP.

3.1.1 Release and Support Package Level The deliverables of SAP Best Practices were developed and tested in a system landscape with specific support package levels. The mentioned Support Package Stack (SPS) is the minimum level that must be applied to the system before you can use the relevant SAP Best Practice package, and this is also the recommended level.

If you run the activation on a higher SPS, you may run into activation errors. If you encounter this, perform the installation activities by switching the eCATT to run in the foreground, or implement the configuration manually by using the configuration guides.

For more details, refer to the Error Handling section in this document.

The SPS level relevant for SAP BP BL package (Australia) - V1.604 is listed together with the required components in the next chapter.


http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BL_CN/html/index.htm


Receiving the Software at the Correct SP LevelIf the support level needed for the SAP Best Practices installation is not available on the SAP service marketplace download area you need to follow the procedure described in this section.

For delivery of the software, an installation number and a corresponding license agreement are required. An S-USER is required to order software in the Software Catalogue or download form SAP's Software Distribution Center within SAP's Service Marketplace (SAP's SWDC in SMP). You can only order unrestricted SAP software. Contact the SAP contract department to ask for a physical shipment or create a customer message on component XX-SER-GEN-CONTR.

Receiving the software at the correct SP level: Via SAP's Software Distribution Center (SWDC) on the SAP Service Marketplace and standard delivery (for example SAP Software Catalogue) only the current Service Release (SR) is delivered to SAP customers / partners. If you encounter the situation that the required Support Package Stack (SPS) for correct SAP Best Practices packages activation is based on SPS level LOWER than the current SR, the request for the necessary SPS is handled via a customer message. For details, see the SAP Note 925690 - Standard Ordering Procedures for SAP Software (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/925690).

3.1.2 Required SAP Components Component Information1) SAP ERP Core Component 6.0 (SAP ECC 6.0)

You can find detailed information for SPS definition for the SRs of SAP ERP, in SAP Note 774615 – Support Package levels of ERP/ECC installations/upgrades.

2) SAP Enhancement Package 4 Support Package Stack 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 Application Server ABAP ("SAP ERP 6.04 SPS07 AS ABAP")

SAP ERP 6.0 based SAP BP packages mainly focus on the set of software components bundled in SAP ECC 6.0. With the goal of a standardized installation process among baseline and industry SAP BP packages, a complete update of all ABAP software components of enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 is required.

Detailed information regarding the installation of enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 can be found in SAP Note 1143022 - Installation of Enhancement Package 4 on SAP ERP 6.0.

To download the SAP Enhancement Package 4, go to the Software Distribution Center (SWDC) on the SAP Service Marketplace:

https://service.sap.com/swdc, then choose Software Downloads → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group → SAP Application Components → SAP ERP → SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE → EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0.

As per SAP Note 1064635 SPS levels for SAP ERP are synchronized over all enhancement package versions. Software components / add-ons not touched within an enhancement pack should have the SP level assigned to the concurrent SPS of SAP ECC 6.00.

Attached to note 1386389 - SAP BAiO/BP: Stack Information/Explanation for Used Products, an overview of all software components and their support package levels combined in the various support package stacks is given (XLS).

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/925690


3) SAP frontend components, for example SAP GUI for Windows and SAP NetWeaver Business Client

Ensure that you have installed the latest and appropriate SAP frontend components.

The following download path below leads you to an overview on how to install SAP frontend components and how to apply patches. On the navigation level SAP Frontend Components, you can select the SAP frontend components depending on your requirements.

To download the SAP frontend components, go to the Software Distribution Center (SWDC) on the SAP Service Marketplace:

SAP GUI:

https://service.sap.com/swdc, then choose Software Downloads → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group → SAP Frontend Components

SAP NetWeaver Business Client:

https://service.sap.com/swdc, then choose Software Downloads → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches → Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group → SAP Frontend Components → NETWEAVER BUSINESS CLIENT → NWBC NW BUSINESS CLIENT 3.0

Regarding the SAP Netweaver Business Client, Do NOT DOWNLOAD NWBC NW BUSINESS CLIENT 1.0 or NWBC NW BUSINESS CLIENT 2.0. These versions are not designed to be used with the current SAP Best Practices Baseline Package.

Instead, download the version SAP Netweaver Business Client 3.0. This version is the correct one.

SAP NetWeaver Business Client 3.0: You want to use SAP NWBC 3.0 as user interface connected to your SAP ERP system. The minimum technical prerequisite for doing that is enhancement package 1 Support Package Stack 6 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 application server ABAP (SAP NW 7.01 SPS06 AS ABAP). Strongly recommended is as well to use as a minimum the related application support package stack – enhancement package 4 Support Package Stack 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 application server ABAP (SAP ERP 6.04 SPS06 AS ABAP), which is available as of April 12, 2010.

In addition you need to import the corrections referred to in note 1353538 - SAP NetWeaver Business Client 3.0 - Patch Collection.

3.2 SAP Best Practices Add-On and TransportThe following SAP Best Practices Add-ons must be imported into the system:

• BP-ERP 604V[xy]

This Add-On contain the SAP Best Practices technical framework (e.g. BC-Sets, eCATTS, print pgrams)

• BP-SOLBLD 70V[yz]

This Add-On contains the SAP Best Practices solution builder program

Always use the latest versions of the Add-ons as outlined in SAP Note 1301301 Release Strategy for SAP Best Practices Package ABAP Add-ons

For more details, see the document Importing SAP Best Practices Add-Ons (ADDONINS.PDF) on the configuration DVD.

Regular Updates Technical Environment

The technical Add-ons provided by SAP Best Practices form the technical environment required for the automated implementation of your SAP Best Practices version with the SAP Solution Builder. This technical framework is continuously updated providing enhanced, fixed, or additional technical objects required for the technical implementation process.

SAP Best Practices is therefore offering updated versions of the Add-ons on a regular basis. Each updated Add-on replaces the previous version in your system. More information about the currently available versions of the Add-on BP-ERP and the Add-on BP-SOLBLD can be found in the SAP Note 1301301.

Since the solution scope file and the most current installation data files always correspond to the current technical Add-ons, you always need to make sure having the most current versions in your system before the technical implementation of your SAP Best Practices version starts.

The update of the technical framework has no impact on scope or business content of your SAP Best Practices version as it is described in the respective documentation.




3.3 System Status of Client RolesThe system cannot have any clients with a role of productive client. If the system contains a productive client, extension sets cannot be activated as required. Additionally, the automatic installation of SAP Best Practices content using the SAP Best Practices solution builder is not allowed, as BC sets cannot be activated in the productive system. To check the settings of clients in your system, use transaction code SCC4.

3.4 NetWeaver Business Client System Settings

3.4.1 Activate Context Menu Additional DetailsTo be able to use the specific functions in SAP NetWeaver Business Client, you must activate the context menu Additional details for transaction PFCG. For this, maintain the client-independent table SSM_CUST:

Transaction SM30:

- Table/View: ssm_cust

- Button [Maintain]

- Button [New entries]

- Description: ADD_MENU_DETAILS

Value to be set: YES

Save your settings.

3.4.2 Activate System PSE, SAP CryptoLib, SSL Server, SSL Client

The System PSE, SAP CryptoLib, SSL Server, SSL Client (standard) has to be implemented in transaction STRUSTSSO2. If this is not the case, ask your system administrator to activate the certificates accordingly.

3.5 SAP Enterprise Extensions Sets and Enterprise Business Functions

UseAfter installing SAP ERP, the following SAP ECC extension sets need to be activated before you start activation of the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package.

The activation of Enterprise Extensions, Business Functions and Business Function Sets will change your system and can’t be rolled back. For more details regarding the impact, check the documentation of the related extension or business function.

3.7.4 Generation of Financial Accounting Programs 1. Call transaction SE38.

2. In the Program field, enter RGZZGLUX. Then choose Execute (F8).

3. Choose Back and leave the transaction.

3.7.5 Creation of Consistent Business Transaction Groups

For the execution of assessments, distributions, periodic reposting or indirect activity allocations in several applications (for example, the CO-OM application), groups have to be defined in the current client which summarize all actual or planned transactions. As default, these groups are either not available or do not have the latest status. As consequence, some system transactions (for example KSVB, KSUB, KSV5, KSU5, etc.) will result in the following error: Customizing error: Business transaction groups are not current. Message no. GA627.

Proceed as follows to correct the inconsistency:

1. Call transaction SE38.

2. In the Program field, enter the report name RK811XST to run the correction in your current client (the client where the SAP Best Practices activation is planned to be done).




3.7.6 Generation of Characteristic VRTNR The characteristic VRTNR is not correctly provided in the system. It is not possible to maintain this characteristic.

This error is not caused by SAP Best Practices configuration. The following procedure provides a method to correct an inconsistency which might be caused by system set up. Note: Usually the step /SMB99/KEA0_O200_168 in building block 168 runs red if this correction is not done.

Proceed as follows to correct the inconsistency:

1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:

Transaction code KEA5

IMG menu Controlling Profitability Analysis Structures Define Operating Concern Maintain Characteristics

2. Check first availability of characteristic VRTNR. On the Edit Characteristic: Start screen, select All Characteristics and choose Display.

3. On the Display Characteristics: Overview screen, search for char. (characteristic) VRTNR and choose Back.

If VRTNR is listed in the table, the error does not exist. In this case no further actions are required. Leave the transaction.

4. Proceed with following steps if characteristic VRTNR is not found.

5. On the Edit Characteristic: Start screen, enter the value WWXXX in field Char. and select Create/Change.

Enter exactly the value WWXXX.

The characteristic WWXXX is used to enter the transaction without any change. Maintenance is done for the missing characteristic VRTNR.

6. In the Caution: You are processing Cross client data structures dialog box, choose Continue.

7. On the Change Characteristic: Overview screen, choose Create.

8. In the Creat Char: Assignment dialog box:

a. Select the Transfer from SAP table option.

b. In the Table field, enter PAPARTNER.

c. Choose Create.

9. In the Reference table dialog box, select the VRTNR field and choose Confirm.



10. In the Warning dialog box, choose Enter.

11. On the Create Char. VRTNR screen, enter 2 in field Display opt. in area Further Properties.

12. Save your entries.

13. In the Save in spite of warnings dialog box, choose Yes.

3.7.7 Deactivation of CRMAPO 1. Call transaction BF11.

2. On the information message, choose Enter.

If application CRMAPO is not listed you can skip this section.


5. Enter a workbench request in the dialog box.

6. Choose Back.

Deactivation of the CRMAPO CRM-APO Adapter application prevents a system short dump when saving a sales order with configurable items (scenario 147).

3.7.8 Deselection of Activation Links in BC SetsWe recommend that you turn off the creation of activation links. By doing this, you can increase activation speed significantly and avoid errors.


SAP ECC menu Tools → Customizing → Business Configuration Sets → Activation of BC Sets

Transaction code SCPR20

2. On the Business Configuration Sets: Activation screen, choose Utilities → System Settings.

3. Choose Display <-> Change (Shift + F1).

4. In the Activation section, select the radio button for Do Not Create parameter.

5. Choose Enter on the information message.

6. Save your settings.

3.8 Printer Settings

3.8.1 Default Printer For activation of SAP Best Practices, the standard default printer LP01 is used that is generated during the SAP standard system set up.



Once you have activated the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package, the printer LP01 cannot be used for printing (for more information on this, see SAP Note 573309). Instead, you must select an existing printer at your site.

Your printer must be linked to a device type for which the HELVE font family is defined (for example to the device type SAPWIN) to ensure that the forms printout is correct.

For personalized SAP Best Practices activations replace the printer LP01 as described in chapter Scoping and Activation of Scenarios, step 5: Personalize the Solution, below.

3.8.2 Optional: Set up Printer EnvironmentThe following activities are only needed if you want to use print functionality in SAP ERP. If you skip these activities, it is still possible to activate SAP Best Practices, but it will not be possible to print in SAP ERP unless you have set up the printer environment.

For details about setting up the printer environment read the documentation in the SAP Printing Guide (BC-CCM-PRN). The documentation can be found on the SAP Help Portal at

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Once you have set up your printer environment, you can forward the printing requests to your locally installed printers (Win):

1. Choose the transaction SPAD.

2. Select the menu Configuration → Output devices.

3. Choose Change (F8).

4. Select Create (Shift + F1).

5. Create the Output Device: LOCL with the short name LOCL.

6. In the tab DeviceAttributes, enter the Device Type SWINCF: Casc.Fonts SAPWIN Unicode.

7. In the tab Access Method, enter the Host Spool Access Method G: Front End Printing with Control Tech and the Host printer __DEFAULT.

8. Modify printer LP01 created during system installation to a logical output device mapped to "LOCL".

Inform the users to assign printer LOCL to their default values using the following procedure:

1. Choose transaction SU3.

2. Choose the Defaults tab.

3. In the Spool Control section, enter the Output Device LOCL.

4. Select the Output Immediately and Delete After Output checkboxes.


If you want to use the PDF Display in NWBC and you have followed the instructions mentioned in SAP Note 1069540, you may have already assigned a default printer in the user settings.





3.8.3 Printing Bar CodesIf you want to print bar codes, you must follow important information on the requirements to be fulfilled to print bar codes and about printers supported.

See SAP Note 5196 on important details regarding printing bar codes with SAPscript and SAP note 645158 regarding important details regarding printing bar codes with SAP Smart Forms.

3.9 Maintain Profile Parameters

3.9.1 Maximum Work Process Run TimeUseDynamic switchable profile parameters (indicated by a flag in the check box of the parameter) have to be checked before activation. Therefore the following profile parameters must be checked and adapted.


Transaction code RZ11

2. On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, make the following entries

Field name Description User action and values Note

Param. Name Profile parameter name rdisp/max_wprun_time

3. Choose Display.

4. On the Display Profile Parameters Attributes screen, select Change Value.

5. On the Change Parameter Value screen, make the following entries.

Parameter Name Description New value

Note

rdisp/max_wprun_time Max work process run time 3600 Check and adapt value if value is <3600

6. Choose Save.

When you save the change, the window will be closed and the value of the parameter will be changed. This change only becomes effective when you log off and then log on to the system again.

If the parameter is set in RZ11, you lose the change when you restart the server.

This parameter value is only needed for activation of SAP Best Practices as there are some processes which need to be performed in dialog and last for more than ten minutes.Switch back to the default value after activation of SAP Best Practices!



3.9.2 SAP ScriptingUseeCATTs are used to automate the activation of SAP Best Practices configuration settings. Prior to activation, you must allow eCATT processing in the system: the profile parameter sapgui/user_scripting must be set. The value for Enable or disable user scripting on the front-end must be set true.

During the activation, this task is executed automatically in Building Block 100, SAP Best Practices activation. After the activation of Building Block 100, if the server is restarted during the activation process, the activation user must perform this activity to allow eCATT scripting.



2. On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, make the following entries

Field name Description User action and values

Note

Param. Name Profile parameter name sapgui/user_scripting

3. Choose Display.


5. On the Change Parameter Value screen, make the following entries:


New Value New Value for user scripting

TRUE Enable SAP Scripting

6. Choose Save.

When you save the change, the window closes and the current value of the parameter changes to TRUE. This change only becomes effective when you log onto the system again.

If the parameter is set in RZ11, you lose the change when you restart the server.

3.9.3 Authentication using SAP Logon TicketsUseAs requirement for the usage of the SAP Best Practices solution builder, the following profile parameters have to be set as listed below. The set of these profile parameters is also necessary for the communication between SAP NetWeaver Business Client and SAP EEC system to work correctly. The following points must be met.





2. On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, make the following entries:


Param. Name Profile parameter name login/accept_sso2_ticket

3. Choose Display.




Note

login/accept_sso2_ticket Accept SSO ticket logon for this (component) system

1 Check and adapt value if necessary

6. Choose Save.

7. Choose Back (F3).

8. On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, make the following entries:


Param. Name Profile parameter name login/create_sso2_ticket

9. Choose Display.




Note

login/create_sso2_ticket Create SSO tickets on this system

2 Check and adapt value if necessary

12. Choose Save.

This adaptation of the profile parameters login/accept_sso2_ticket and login/create_sso2_ticket is necessary if you use the SAP Best Practices solution builder and/or the SAP Netweaver Business Client.

3.9.4 Set Default Timeout for http and https ServicesUseIt is recommended that you set the following for both services TIMEOUT and PROCTIMEOUT to 300 or 600 (seconds), the default is 60.

The values are also set using system parameters (see below section Procedure):

icm/server_port_<*> - Standard value for *: 0: http, 1 or 2: https

For example:

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=8000, PROCTIMEOUT=300,

TIMEOUT=600

icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=44300, PROCTIMEOUT=300,

TIMEOUT=600





2. On the Edit Profiles screen, enter your instance profile. In the Edit Profile box, select the radio button for Extended maintenance and choose Change.

3. On the Maintain Profile screen, make the following entries:


Note

icm/server_port_<*> Standard value for *:

0: http, 1 or 2: https

300or600

Set to 300 or 600 (seconds) for TIMEOUT and PROCTIMEOUT, the default is 60

4. Choose Back.

5. Choose Save.

This adaptation of these profile parameters is only necessary if you use SAP Netweaver Business Client.

3.10 Creating User for Activation of SAP Best Practices Content

UseIn this activity, you create an user to run the activation of the related SAP Best Practices scope. However, SAP Best Practices does not supply separate customizing or setup roles. Instead, you should use the functions provided in Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG). Here you can define a role corresponding to your individual IMG project with all the authorizations you need to access the corresponding IMG activities required for the SAP Best Practices scope. For more information about building a role for a Customizing project, see the documentation for the transaction PFCG.

Alternatively you can use the authorization profile SAP_ALL. If this authorization does not apply to your authorization concept, you should restrict the rights of the user according to your internal authorization guidelines. Without the profile SAP_ALL, issues during the activation may occur and need to be solved. You can use the transaction SU53 to get information on the missing authorizations and extend the authorization data as necessary.

Directly after activation of the SAP Best Practices content, remove the authorizations you have given to the system user that has performed the activation steps. This is for security reasons and stops the system user misusing the authorizations granted previously.

Procedure 1. To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:

SAP ECC menu Tools → Administration → User Maintenance → Users

Transaction code SU01



2. On the User Maintenance: Initial Screen, in the User field, enter <User-ID> and choose Create.

3. Choose the Address tab.

4. Make the following entries:

Field name User action and values Note

Last name <Last name of the user>

First name <First name of the user>

5. Choose the Logon data tab.



Password <initial password>

User Type A Dialog




Logon Language EN

Decimal Notation X 1,234,567.89

Date Format 1 DD.MM.YYYY

9. Choose the Profiles tab.

10. Enter the profiles SAP_ALL.


ResultA user to activate SAP Best Practices content has been created.

4 Activation of Business Content / Scenarios – Activation consultant

The following chapters describe the activities that have to be done by the consultant who is going to activate SAP Best Practices in the system.

4.1 Initial Check of System ReadinessIt is necessary that you check if your system administrator has applied the correct SPS level as outlined above in the section Release and Support Package Level.

In addition, ensure that the system administrator has also finished all activities as described in the chapter System Setup & Preparation – System Administrator.

Only if these prerequisites are met, continue with the following steps.



4.2 Decision on the Scope to be ActivatedBefore you activate the Baseline Package, you must decide if you want to activate the complete package (full scope) or a subset of the complete package. Details for individual scenarios are available on the documentation DVD in the area Business Information → Preconfigured Scenarios. In the upper right box Entry Level Scope, choose Full Scope to get an overview of all scenarios delivered with the Baseline package. Select the scenarios map for overviews, process flows and details of individual scenarios.

4.3 Activation LanguageMake sure that your logon language is always English (and NOT your local language) for all activation activities.

4.4 User Settings for Activation

For activation, we recommend that only one User ID be used to activate the SAP Best Practices. It can be a tedious procedure to change ownership of the activation of the solution.

Make sure that you only have one single SAP GUI session running when you activate SAP Best Practices. If you run several SAP GUI sessions, some automated installation activities might run into errors.

4.4.1 SAP Software Change Registration (SSCR): Developer Key

UseThe user ID used for activation has to be registered as developer on SAP Service Marketplace (SAP Software Change Registration (SSCR)). For details see SAP Note 86161. The SSCR developer key is needed, because the user ID used for SAP Best Practices activation creates and changes objects from the customer name range during the SAP Best Practices activation process. If the SAP Best Practices activation user is not registered as developer, the automated SAP Best Practices activation will run into errors.

Procedure1. Access the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/sscr.

2. On the SAP Software Change Registration (SSCR) start page, you get the detailed user documentation on how to proceed to get the SSCR developer key.

An SSCR developer key is a 20 character combination of digits which is queried when an SAP ERP user tries to create or change an object from the customer name range FOR THE FIRST TIME. The prompting message for the developer key appears once for each SAP ERP user; if registration is successful, this SAP ERP user is no longer prompted to enter a developer key. The SSCR developer key is


http://service.sap.com/sscr

http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BL_DE/html/preconfigured_scenarios_full_scope_EN_DE.htm


generated from the installation number of the affected installation and the SAP ERP user name.

4.4.2 Unicode Settings

UseBefore each user logs onto the system for the first time, the user’s local GUI must be set to use the Unicode code page.

Procedure3. From the SAP Logon 710 pad, select your system ID. Then choose the Change Item button.

4. On the System Entry Properties dialog box, choose the Code Page tab.

5. On the Encoding dropdown, select Unicode (UTF-8).

6. Choose OK.

4.4.3 Allow GUI Scripting

UsePerform this activity so that eCATTs GUI Scripts can by executed with your GUI.

During the activation, this task is executed automatically in Building Block 100, SAP Best Practices activation. After the activation of Building Block 100, if a different user wishes to activate additional scenarios, that different user must execute this task.

Procedure1. Choose the first button from the right side of the Standard Tool Bar Customizing Local Layout

or type ALT + F12.

2. Select the menu item Options…

3. Choose the Scripting tab.

4. Select the Enable scripting checkbox.

5. Deselect the checkboxes Notify When a Script Attaches to a Running GUI and Notify When a Script opens a Connection.

6. Choose the OK button at the bottom.

4.4.4 Set Decimal Notation and Date Format

UsePerform this activity to set up the activation user ID.


SAP ECC menu System User Profile Own Data





3. Make sure you set Decimal Notation according to your country’s default, like X 1,234,567.89.

4. Make sure you set Date Format according to your country’s default, like DD.MM.YYYY.

5. Make sure to assign your printer in the field output device (see also chapter Printer Environment above).


7. Log off from the system.

8. Log on to the system.

Log off and log on is necessary since the change in the user settings only becomes effective when you log onto the system again.

9. When the complete activation procedure is finished, you may change these values as desired.

ResultThe decimal notation and date format have been set up according to your country format. The standard printer has been defined.

4.5 Getting the Business Content for Activation

Perform the following steps Getting the Solution Scope File and Getting the Installation Data Files on the same day. If you download them at different times, you may encounter errors due to mismatch reasons.

4.5.1 Getting the Solution Scope File

UseThe technical structure for each solution (scenarios, building blocks and technical objects) of the SAP Best Practices is managed by a solution scope file.

Procedure1. The solution scope file can be found as attachment to the SAP Best Practices Baseline

Package support Note (for details on the SAP Note number see above section SAP Notes and Messages).

2. Download the solution scope ZIP-file which corresponds to:

<Mat-Nr Config DVD>_Scope_<Solution_ID><Add-On Version>.ZIP

The naming convention corresponds to:

the material number of the configuration DVD 5XXXXXXX



or the number of the download object / file in the software distribution center (same number as material number of configuration DVD)

5XXXXXXX.ZIP

The number of the download object can be found on the SAP Software Distribution Center in the download area for the download object Config: Best Practices All-in-One.

or the SAP Best Practices Add-On Version for example BP-ERP 604V1

You can determine the Add-On Version as follows:SAP Easy Access menu: System → Status → Component information (Prerequisite: The Add-On version/release has been installed in the system).

Example: 5XXXXXXX _SCOPE_BL_AU_V1604_604V#.zip

4.5.2 Getting the Installation Data Files

UseThe installation settings (configuration settings and master data) of the SAP Best Practices are managed by the installation data files.

Procedure1. The installation data files can be found in the SAP Best Practices area on the SAP Service

Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/bestpractices. On the left side menu select the section SAP Best Practices Packages and then choose Installation Data Files – EHP4 for SAP ERP 6.0 and select the country Australia..

2. Download installation data ZIP-file package

<Mat-Nr Config DVD>_BP_FILES_<country>_<Add-On Version>.ZIP

The naming convention corresponds to:

the material number of the configuration DVD 5XXXXXXX

or the number of the download object / file in the software distribution center (same number as material number of configuration DVD)

5XXXXXXX.ZIP

The number of the download object can be found on the SAP Software Distribution Center in the download area for the download object Config: Best Practices All-in-One.

or the SAP Best Practices Add-On Version e.g. BP-ERP 604V1

You can determine the Add-On Version as follows:SAP Easy Access menu: System → Status → Component information (Prerequisite: The Add-On version/release has been installed in the system).


http://service.sap.com/bestpractices


Example: 5XXXXXXX _BP_FILES _AU_604V#.zip

4.5.3 Creating a Folder for the SAP Best Practices Activation1. Create a folder on a hard drive (for example, on your local hard drive) that can be accessed from within the SAP system where you want to activate the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package. Ensure that the persons who will activate SAP Best Practices have the necessary user rights to access this folder.

2. Extract the files from the ZIP files you downloaded in the previous task into the folder you created in step 1. You should have one solution scope file (*.xml), many variant files (*.TXT) and one bitmap file (smb40_leaf.bmp).

4.6 Activation Sequence of ScenariosWhen activating the complete Baseline Package (all scenarios) or just selected scenarios, the necessary technical building blocks are activated in the correct sequence when using the SAP Best Practices solution builder. However if you would like deviate from the normal activation procedure, additional information has to be taken into account for the scenarios Activate Document Splitting, Segment Reporting and Cost Of Sales Accounting, as outlined in the following section.

Document Splitting, Segment Reporting and Cost of Sales AccountingIf you are modifying one of the SAP-shipped scopes, and plan to use the scenarios Activate Document Splitting (165), Segment Reporting (166) and Cost of Sales Accounting (161), these three scenarios MUST be the last three to be activated. Specifically, activate all other required scenarios, then activate scenario 165 first, then activate 161, then activate 166.

SAP Best Practices supports implementations with or without document splitting. This approach makes it necessary to respect a certain activation sequence that can only be checked manually, as mentioned in the paragraph above.

You must decide if you will use the scenarios Activate Document Splitting (165), Segment Reporting (166) and Cost of Sales Accounting (161) BEFORE the first posting in the system. If the solution has been set up without document splitting and postings have been made, you cannot activate the document splitting subsequently. This can take place only as part of a very complex migration project (see also SAP Note 891144) and is not supported by SAP Best Practices.

4.7 Specific Information on Scenarios

Cross-Company Scenarios: Cross Company Sales Order Processing and Internal Procurement: Cross-Company Stock Transfer The cross company code scenarios Cross Company Sales Order Processing (123) and Internal Procurement: Cross-Company Stock Transfer (141) demonstrate intercompany logistics processes in sales and procurement, and are not fully integrated into Financial Accounting, Controlling, and CO-PA, and thus are optional.

Check if you require these scenarios. Even if you are not planning to use the functionality of these two scenarios, they can be activated without affecting any other functionality. However, if you do



not want to activate these scenarios, you can deselect them as per Step 3: Scope the Solution section below in chapter Scoping and Activation of Scenarios.

SAP recommends putting these scenarios out-of-scope.

If these scenarios are planned to be used in final implementation projects, they must be adapted and integrated into the Financials and Controlling area as necessary for the specific implementation project.

Also check note 1276914 if you are going to activate these scenarios. Attached to this note you can find a guide which provides the how to adapt the keys for the second company code and related entities in case you want to set up all enterprise structure keys without any logical overlap of the keys.

4.8 Scoping and Activation of ScenariosYou can choose to activate the entire Baseline Package scope or certain scenarios. If you wish to activate the full scope, follow the common steps below and read the sections highlighted with a gray solid-lined box. If you wish to activate certain scenarios, follow the common steps below and read the sections highlighted with a yellow dash-lined box.

For an instruction on how to get information on all scenarios included in the Baseline Package, see section Decision on the Scope to be Activated above.

Option 2: If you want to activate a subset of the complete Baseline Package scope, follow the steps in this section. Choosing this option, you can decide if you put the cross-company scenarios in scope or out-of-scope.

11. Choose the Scoping button (Ctrl+F9).

12. On the Scoping – Select Template screen, you can define the scope of scenarios you want to install. From the Select Template dropdown, select the desired scope, and then choose Scope.

Full Scope: Select 05 All Scenarios from the dropdown.

Partial Scope: Select any scope except 05 All Scenarios. Each of these scopes are fully-integrated end-to-end solution proposals that each focus on a different area: Manufacturing, Trade, Service and Financials. These subsets include all building blocks necessary to deliver the appropriate functionality.

13. The system displays the Scoping for Solution screen. The screen displays all of the available scenarios that are part of the Baseline Package.

Full Scope: If you are activating the full scope, do not make any changes on this screen, and continue with step 19.

The Full Scope (05 All Scenarios) does not include the cross-company scenarios!

If you want to activate the cross company scenarios 123 and/or 141 as per the information in the Specific Information on Scenarios section above, read the Partial scope description immediately following this paragraph.

Partial Scope: You can disable or enable scenarios by clicking on the colored box for the scenario. An informational box displays. To remove a scenario from the scope, choose the Deselect button. The informational box disappears and the colored box turns gray. To activate a disabled scenario, click the gray box for the scenario, and choose the Select button on the informational box.

14. Choose the Save Data button.



15. On the informational box, enter a Solution ID and a Description, and then choose OK. On the next dialog box, choose OK.

16. Choose Back.

17. Select your solution from the list, and then choose the Favorite button.

18. Maintain flag multiple activations for building block 142.

Full Scope: In the Building Block 142 (Production Planning and Control) the flag Allow multiple activations of BB in client is set. This is obsolete if you want to install the full scope of the Baseline Package. To reduce activation time you can delete this flag. To do so, start the solution builder and choose Goto → Building Block Builder. In the Building Block Builder – Solution View screen, select the Building Block 142 and choose Change (Shift + F9). Delete the flag Allow multiple activations of BB in client and choose Enter. Choose Save.

Partial Scope: Do not change the multiple activation settings of building block 142.

Step 4: Upload the Installation Data

Upload of the installation data is only required if you are going to personalize the solution (see below step 5).

In order to assure the installation data upload is working correctly, make sure before installation data upload the following user settings are set as described (access via Solution Builder Solution Editor Goto User Settings, tab strip General):

o Deselect the setting Check consistency with eCATT definitions during Installation Data upload

o Select the setting Maintain references in eCATT Definitions during Installation Data upload

19. From the SAP Best Practices solution builder main menu, choose Upload Installation Data (Ctrl + F5).

20. On the Upload Installation Data dialog box, browse to the location of your installation data files (in the folder you created during step Creating a Folder for the SAP Best Practices Activation, see above), select it, and choose Continue (Enter).

Step 5: Personalize the Solution

Check if you require personalized values – if you want to activate SAP Best Practices using default values, no action is required. In that case, you can skip to the Download the Installation Data section below.

21. Ensure that the graphic files have been imported into the system. These graphics are attached to the SAP Note Additional information for BP- SOLBLD 70V* (see SAP Note 1301301; in this SAP note the release strategy for SAP Best Practices ABAP Add-ons is listed including information on the latest solution builder version. Once you have identified your solution builder version, you can check the relevant SAP Note Additional information for BP- SOLBLD 70V* which refers to the version of the solution builder you have in usage).



22. Choose Enterprise Structure Personalization (Ctrl + F7).

23. On the Personalization Enterprise Structure screen, select your target language, then choose Display (F7).

Do NOT switch to expert mode and do NOT create any additional organizational data, for example an additional plant. This functionality is NOT supported in the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package and will cause serious errors.

24. Navigate to the relevant objects in the Navigation Area.

25. To personalize an entry, double-click the object in the graphical area.

26. Make any personalized entries on the detail screens.

27. If you want to personalize the printer, proceed as follows:

a. In the solution builder (solution editor) choose menu Goto Personalization Generic Personalization (Ctrl + F8).

b. Choose the PA ID OUTPUT_DEVICE (DEFINE PRINTER) from the PA list (on the left side).

c. Enter the new printer name for the parameter I_LDEST (on the right side).

d. The default printer LP01 can only be replaced by a printer already existing in your system (for more information on the printer environment, see the information outlined in chapter Printer Settings, Default Printer above). If no printer exists, the value LP01 has to be kept to avoid errors during the following SAP Best Practices activation.

Step 6: Download the Installation Data28. Choose Download Installation Data (Ctrl + F6). Download the installation files to a local

folder. Existing files will be overwritten.

You have to download the installation data to the folder that already contains the complete set of installation data as delivered by your solution provider (confirm overwrite in case of a warning message). Otherwise required files that are not covered by the up- and download process (such as graphic files) will be missing.

Step 7: Starting Activation29. Ensure that your solution is set as a favorite solution.

30. From the menu, choose Goto Implementation Assistant (Ctrl + Shift + F3).

31. Select the top node of the solution, and then choose the Activate button.

Select If selected, system executes activation steps that create demo data. If deselected, these steps are not executed.

Activation w/o demo data – What does this mean?

If you want to activate the Baseline package without demo data, you can deselect the checkbox to turn off activation of demo data.

After activation is completed, you will not be able to test the business scenarios. The scenario testing requires the presence of the demo data and related configuration settings.

To test the business processes with customer demo data, you can create your own demo data. Proceed as follows:

• Select the business scenario you want to test.

• Check the row in the Prerequisites Matrix file for this scenario to determine the required prerequisite building blocks.

• Goto the Solution Builder Building Block Builder – Scenario Edit View.

• For all Building Blocks that belong to the scenario have a look at the steps that have the check box activated in column De (Demo).

• Refer to the corresponding Configuration Guide and create the required configuration and master data activities manually.

Errors occur during activation – Where can I find more information to solve the issue?

In case of any issues during activation always check chapter: Error Handling: Installation Errors during activation

33. Choose Continue.

Manual Step handling



There are some manual steps that you will need to handle during activation. The solution builder will display a procedure dialog box with instructions for you to follow to process the step. The table below lists these manual steps as they are part of the default full scope activation:

If you use PERSONALIZED values (for example company code 9999 instead of the default value company code 1000 or shipping point 8888 instead of default value shipping point 1000 and so on), do NOT use the DEFAULT values in the manual step configuration descriptions and configuration guides, respectively, but use your personalized values wherever applicable.



Step 8: Concluding ActivitiesAfter you finished the activation of the scenarios, you must run all steps in the Prerequisite Process Steps document (BPD 154) as prerequisite before you can test your scenarios.

The Prerequisite Process Steps document (BPD 154) can be found on the SAP Best Practices documentation DVD: On the left side menu choose Business Information → Preconfigured Scenarios. In the information box Entry Level Scope choose Full scope. Then, in the information box Scenarios – by Business Areas select Integration Processes → Other → Prerequisite Process Steps.

4.9 Error Handling: Installation Errors during activation

The following information helps you to solve problems that might occur during the installation process.

Before you start with detailed error analyzing and working through the error processing as described below proceed as follows:

Activate your solution or the respective scenario in the solution builder implementation assistant again. It might be the case that error will not reappear. In this case no correctional activities are needed and the installation is proceeding.

4.9.1 Error Occurs During Activation of Automated Task

UseWhen an activation of an automated task runs into errors, the activation stops at the point of the error. No further implementation can be done until the error is resolved.

Procedure1. On the Implementation Assistant – Solution View screen, select a task that has a red light in

the Current status column.

2. Expand the task and choose the log that is assigned to this task. Detailed information about the error is displayed in the Error List pane.

3. In the Error List pane choose Display Detailed Log. The detailed log information about an eCATT or BC set activation is displayed.

4. In this log information check entries with a red light to identify the reason for the error.

a. In case the error can be solved based on the log information, you can run the eCATT or BC set again.

In case the activation fails because of locked objects, make sure, that no objects are locked by any users. Then try to activate the activity again.



See the document SAP Best Practices Tools for details about the manual activation of eCATTs and BC sets. The document can be found on the documentation DVD in the area Technical Information → Tools and Concepts.

5. In case the log information is not sufficient to solve the problem you can proceed as follows:

a. Execute the task manually: use the description of the related section in the configuration guide for executing the task,

or

b. Open a customer message for this problem specifying the component SV-SMB-AIO-BP-AU.

Do NOT delete solution builder scenarios ONCE they have been activated. If you delete scenarios, the activation history and the respective logs are lost and it is not possible to find possible error reasons with tenable efforts.

In such cases NO SAP SUPPORT CAN BE PROVIDED.

6. When you have solved the problem (either executed the task manually or a solution has been provided via customer message), choose the Change button that is displayed in the Old Status column to the right of the task.

Do NOT proceed with installation if the problem has not been solved. If you continue without solving the problem, severe errors might result in the subsequent installation steps that cause incalculable efforts to fix.

In such cases NO SAP SUPPORT CAN BE PROVIDED.

7. Choose the Change button that is displayed in the Old Status column to the right of the task.

8. On the Confirmation dialog box, choose OK to manually change the status to successful.

9. On the Information dialog box, enter a reason for changing the status.

10. Choose Continue.

The information is saved in a log. To view details for a changed task, choose the red light in the Original Status column for that task. A dialog box displays the user who performed the change, the date of the change, and the reason for the change. Choose Continue to close the dialog box.

11. Choose Activate to continue with the installation.

4.9.2 Error Message for eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx: Field PSPAR-PERSK. is not an input field

The eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx is used in several building blocks (e.g. BB 122). If it is run more than one time trying to create the same employee numbers, you get the error message Field PSPAR-PERSK. is not an input field, because employee numbers have already been created during the first run.To solve this issue, delete existing and not completely installed personnel numbers manually using the following steps:1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:



SAP ECC menu Human Resources → Personnel Management → Administration → HR Master Data → Maintain

Transaction code PA30

2. Press Search Term in the Find by section and confirm the dialog box Find Person with Find.3. Select a personnel number, for example 999301. Personnel data is shown in the right-hand

half of the screen.

4. Select Utilities → Delete personnel no. from the menu bar.5. On the Delete Personnel Data screen, choose Select all, and then choose Delete.6. Confirm the dialog box Delete Personnel Data.7. Enter or confirm Customizing Request.8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for all personnel numbers that are supposed to be created by the specific

eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx (see the respective configuration guide of the affected building block for details on the personnel numbers).

9. Start eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx again.10. If the eCATT runs with status green, no further activities are needed. If the eCATT still runs

with status red, start transaction SE38 and run report RPUDELPN. On the Delete Personnel Numbers Completely screen, enter the personnel numbers that are supposed to be created by the specific eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx. Finally, start eCATT /xxxxxx/PA40_xx01_xxx again.

4.9.3 Warnings in BC-Set LogsIf an eCATT runs on status red (error), check the eCATT log with regard to the BC Sets that have been activated by this eCATT. If the eCATT log ran on error because the BC Sets have been activated with warnings (use the BC Set log to check this), the eCATT error can be ignored. Set the installation status manually on green, if the BC Set has been activated successfully.

4.9.4 eCATT Error Variable xyz does not exist…If an eCATT runs on status red (error), check the eCATT log with regard to the BC-sets that have been activated by this eCATT. If the error message is variable xyz does not exist…. the error can be ignored if the BC Sets have been activated successfully (use the BC Set log to confirm this). Set the installation status manually on green, if the BC Set has been activated successfully.

4.9.5 Window Appears During Activation Start Options – Test Configuration /SMB99/BMSM_O237_J01

This is not an error but a standard manual step that has to be done during the activation process (see section Scoping and Activation of Scenarios, Step 7: Starting Activation, above). To continue with the installation, proceed as follows:

• On the screen Start Options – Test Configuration /SMB99/BMSM_O237_J01 choose tab page UI Control.

• Choose Start mode for Command TDC: A-Process in Foreground, Synchronous Local and choose Execute.

• Confirm the single steps. Only in case the eCATT-procedure stops choose Back (F3) .

• On eCATT log screen choose Back (F3) twice and confirm the dialog box Interactive step - set status, with OK.



4.9.6 Window Appears during Activation a script is trying to attach to the GUI

If such a window appears during the installation process with the solution builder, choose OK.

4.9.7 Window Appears during Activation Asking to Confirm that Text Was Changed

If such a window appears during the activation process with the solution builder, confirm the information dialog box with Yes.

4.9.8 Issue with SAP GUIIf you get the error message Installed scripting engine is older than engine of eCATT script. Do you want to continue anyway? (See screenshot below) you need to update your SAP GUI to solve this issue.

4.9.9 Description of Manual Steps in Installation ProcessIn the SAP Best Practices solution builder, SAP documented all the manual installation steps that are necessary during the installation process of a specific building block. These descriptions are directly attached to the installation activity in the SAP Best Practices solution builder scenarios in



the system. However, if a description should be missing in the solution builder, you can refer to the description in the configuration guide of the respective building block.

If you use PERSONALIZED values (for example company code 9999 instead of the default value company code 1000 or shipping point 8888 instead of default value shipping point 1000 and so on), do NOT use the DEFAULT values in the manual step configuration descriptions and configuration guides, respectively, but use your personalized values wherever applicable.

This error is caused by a bottleneck of local program buffer. To avoid this error also adapt the parameter for the local program buffer.

5 Evaluate Business Content / Scenarios – Business Consultant

The following chapters describe the activities that have to be done by the business consultant who is taking care that the business processes work as desired.

• The section Review of Business Scenarios provides an overview where the business consultant can get information on the SAP Best Practices scenarios activated in the system.

• The section User Maintenance and Settings outlines the activities that the business consultant has to perform to enable system users to exploit the business process documentation. The necessary user settings are described.

• The section Creation of Queries in Personal Object Worklists (POWLs) refers to information that is needed when you work with the SAP NWBC. In several business process documents it is necessary that you create queries. In such cases refer to the description as outlined below. This section can be ignored if SAP NWBC is not used.

• The chapter Errors during Usage of Activated Package lists errors that users might face in the system when applying the business process documentation. The information provided helps to solve such errors.

• The section Errors with SAP NetWeaver Business Client (SAP NWBC) describe possible errors specific to the usage of SAP NWBC. This section can be ignored if SAP NWBC is not used.



5.1 Review of Business ScenariosDetails for individual scenarios are available on the documentation DVD in the area Business Information → Preconfigured Scenarios. In the upper right box Entry Level Scope, choose Full Scope to get an overview of all scenarios delivered with the Baseline package. Select the scenarios map for an overview of all scenarios. Depending on the scenarios you are interested in, choose the corresponding scenario box on the map. When you click on the box, an information window will open. When you then select the information icon, you directly get to the scenario overview HTML page. On that page, you can access the business process documentation, process overview document and the configuration guide of the respective scenario.

• The business process documentation (BPD) provides a detailed process step description of the business scenario.

• The scenario overview document comprises of a graphical overview of the scenario process flow.

• The configuration guide describes crucial parts of the system configuration of the respective scenario. Together with the configuration guides of the underlying building blocks, you can track which system settings have been configured. Due to the technical concept, not all scenarios have configuration applied on a top level. For such scenarios, the necessary configuration is described in the configuration guides of the underlying building blocks. For more information on the building block concept, see the section Technical Information → Tools and Concept on the documentation DVD. Then select Building Block Concept.

You can use the documents as described above to review the business scenarios you are interested in. Use the business process documentation (BPD) to pass through the scenario in the system.

5.2 User maintenance and Settings

5.2.1 Assigning a Role to an UserIf you plan to use the SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) interface, the system users need to have roles assigned in the system as prerequisite for usage of NWBC. If you do not plan to use NWBC, you can skip the activities described in this chapter.

The SAP Best Practices roles are delivered with the SAP Best Practices Add-on and are available in the system once the Add-on has been applied. All user roles provide specific user menus for demo or reference purposes. These are only required if you are using the SAP NetWeaver Business Client interface, and are intended for demo or evaluation use. If your company chooses to use these roles more extensively, they should be adjusted according to your company’s system and security policies prior to use in a production environment.

The SAP Best Practices roles (SAP_NBPR* roles) are designed to be used with the SAP NetWeaver Business Client - version 3.0 interface only. They shall NOT BE USED with the SAP GUI or SAP NetWeaver Business Client - version 1.0 since they are not designed for it.

UseThis section describes how you can assign roles for users.


http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BBLibrary/General/BBConcept_EN.pdf


Procedure1. Choose one of the following navigation options:

SAP ECC menu Tools → Administration → User Maintenance → Users


2. In the User Maintenance screen, enter the user ID of the user for which a role assignment shall be done.

3. Choose Change.

4. In the Maintain User view, choose the Roles tab.

5. In the Role field, enter the role name. You can use a wildcard to search for a role.

You can assign several roles to a user at this stage, if necessary.

Information on which SAP Best Practices roles have to be assigned

Option A)

You assign only the roles needed for a specific scenario. In this case, check the scenario business process documentation guide (BPD) of the respective scenario. The BPDs are provided on the SAP Best Practices documentation DVD. The necessary roles are listed in the chapter Roles in the Prerequisite section of each BPD.

Option B)

You assign all roles needed for the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (Australia). In this case, assign the Collective role Baseline package Australia (technical name: SAP_NBPR_PH_COLLECTIVE_ROLE).This collective role contains the single roles as listed in the roles overview table below in the column Technical role name (single role).

It is recommended that you assign only the composite role to the users. Composite roles can be understood as containers, which help to organize multiple single roles, and bring the different menus of the single roles in such a container into one streamlined menu.

When you assign composite roles to the users, you have the advantage that you can add a new role to an existing composite role, if you want to add additional activities. Of course, you can also add additional predefined single roles to the composite role.

The roles overview table lists all single and composite roles that are used in the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (Australia):

Do NOT ASSIGN any other SAP Best Practices roles (SAP_NBPR* roles that are not listed in the table above). Since other roles are not designed to be used with the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (Australia), the assignment of those roles will result in corrupted display of user menus in the SAP NetWeaver Business Client interface and wrong double entries.

6. Choose Enter, save, and go back to the SAP Easy Access view.



To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user requires corresponding authorizations, as business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects. The authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects and are defined depending on the activity and responsibilities of the employee. The authorizations are combined in an authorization profile that is associated with a role. The user administrators then assign the corresponding roles using the user master record, so that the user can use the appropriate transactions for his or her tasks.

SAP Best Practices does not deliver an authorization concept, i.e. the SAP Best Practices roles contain authorization objects that may not be maintained completely. However, SAP Best Practices facilitates the definition of authorization profiles by listing the SAP transactions that are necessary to perform all system activities required for the handling of the respective business scenario. Using the profile generator you can automatically create authorization profiles covering selected system transactions. You can check the function list to get an overview of the transactions used in the different SAP Best Practices scenarios.

All authorization profiles will have to be adapted according to the necessary requirements and the authorization concept that has to be realized, respectively. Further information on this topic can be found on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com in the area SAP Netweaver → Security → Identity Management.

The SAP Best Practices roles are not designed to be used as productive roles. Instead, these roles only serve the purpose to be used as demo roles that enable system users to make use of the SAP Netweaver Business Client interface to try out the predefined business processes delivered by the SAP Best Practices Baseline package.

For productive use, never use the roles delivered directly; instead, copy them and adjust them as necessary. In addition, an authorization concept has to be defined and implemented accordingly.

ResultThe roles are now assigned to the user. These roles are referred to in the scenario business process documentation guides (BPDs) provided in SAP Best Practices.
