Business Example
During Phase 2, Business Blueprint, the project team will define and document
all business process requirements, both functional and technical. When possible,
standard SAP business scenarios will be employed because they are delivered
with predefined implementation content such as process documentation, IMG
assignments, and test cases. Using these scenarios, you can significantly reduce
project implementation costs. At the end of Phase 2, a Business Blueprint
document should be generated for approval.

Lesson: Realization
Lesson Overview
This lesson explains how to use the SAP Solution Manager in the Realization
phase. The purpose of this phase is to implement business process requirements
based on the Business Blueprint. The objectives of the Realization Phase are the
final configuration of the system, robust functional and system testing, and the
release of the system for production (live) operation.
Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
Use Solution Manger to configure the system based upon the Blueprint
Requirements.
Understand the concept of Customizing Distribution.
Plan, manage and conduct testing of the system.
Understand the concept of BC Sets
Business Example
Your project team has completed the Blueprint Phase of the project and a complete
and signed-off Business Blueprint is available to all teams to guide the process
of customizing (configuration) the system. You will use Solution Manager to
accomplish this.
Customizing
You can access the various Customizing tools using the SOLAR02 transaction. It
is the central point of access to configure system settings for the implementation
project. You can enter transactions to edit BC Sets and the Implementation Guide
or transactions to import Add-Ons and maintain CATTs.
In SOLAR02, there is also the ability to change the Configuration. When doing
so, there is a useful filter tool to help you during the process.
When making changes to the configuration, the Scenario-specific filter for the
Business Process Repository allows one to see only those BPR elements which are
part of the Scenario/Roadmap configured for the selected project. At the same
time, the Industry-specific filter allows one to choose which elements to display
based on selected industries
To use this filter, go to transaction SOLAR02:
In the Configuration Structure window, select the Configuration structure
element of the project
On the right side of the screen, select the Structure tab and click on the
Change Configuration Structure button
Confirm that the Source field is set to Business Process Repository
Select the Configuration Element field and press the F4 key
The resulting window is the Business Process Repository Selection Help. At
the bottom of this window are the filter buttons. One for Scenarios, one for
Industries. If it displays Scenarios: Active then the filter is active and only those
elements related to the Scenario/Roadmap configured for the Project will be
shown. Clicking on the button will toggle the filter to Inactive and all elements of
the Scenario/Roadmap will be visible. The Industries filter works the same way
as the scenario filter, except that, when activating the filter, the industries to use
for the filter must be selected.
Features of SOLAR02:
You can create new BC Sets, assign them to a structure, view the content of
assigned BC Sets, and delete the assignments of BC Sets that are no longer
required from the project in application systems.
You can activate one or more assigned BC Sets.
You can view the settings configured by BC Sets in the Implementation
Guide (IMG) and edit the system settings that could not be configured by
BC Sets.
You can assign CATTs to process steps and call them to configure system
settings or store pre-configuration.
You can store documentation for individual configuration steps. You can
assign existing documentation and create new documentation.
You can also import Customizing contained in Add-On transports to your
system.
You can specify the processing status and the person responsible for each
object you assigned.
A configuration document is used to describe configuration processes that do not
take place in the SAP world. It does not contain any descriptions of IMG settings.
You can specify the processing status and the person responsible for each object
assigned.
Note:
Documentation of customizing can take place at the IMG level or
through project documentation on process/process step level
No automated replication of IMG status and responsible from IMG
into Config TAB
They can be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings, for example,
are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its
subsidiaries.
BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also
create their own. When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are
copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied
into the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are
always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
The loading of BC Sets is logged by the system, i.e. which BC Set was copied
when into the system, and any errors which occurred. This information is
significant for Continuous Change and Upgrade.
Only customizing data can be captured in a BC Set. Master Data, Transaction
Data and Repository Objects are not valid for BC Sets.
When creating BC Sets the customizing settings may be configured with one
of the following values
Default
Fixed
Variable
Default copies,the existing values of the table fields in the source system (in this
case, Solution Manager) into the BC Set, overwrites the value in the activation
system without confirmation, once the BC Set is activated, and allows manual
changes.
Fixed copies a set value into the BC Set, which cannot be changed in the
activation system.
Variable allows the attribute value to be set upon activation. All values which
cannot be set at the time the BC Set is created must have this attribute.
