system

Starter system
As part of the Prepare phase, customers have access to a starter project connected to a starter
system, where they can explore their business processes with a preselected scope and sample
data before beginning their implementation project.

Project Experience
Project Experience allows you to manage all

your SAP cloud implementations centrally.
Key features of Project Experience are:

▪ Project activity management
▪ Access to scoping, organization management
and configuration
▪ Project team management
▪ Central access to SAP cloud installations and
system overview (SAP S/4HANA Cloud)

Scoping
Scoping allows you to scope your SAP

cloud implementations centrally.
Key features of the Define Scope app are:

▪ Scoping of SAP cloud solution
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
▪ Multi-country scoping
▪ Country-dependent scoping of
non-standard scenarios

Set up organizational structure
The Organizational Structure app allows you to

easily create and adapt your company’s org
structure.
Key features of the Organizational Structure app:

▪ Graphic view – graphical, scope-dependent, and guided
creation of organizational units, additional table view
which shows all org units listed in a table
▪ Simplified mode – the Create buttons that guide you
through the creation of new org units are hidden in this
mode to gain a better overview of your org structure
▪ Non-confirmed entities are in the staging area. You can
easily change and delete them. With the final
confirmation you deploy your org structure into the
target system
▪ Checks in place to make sure all mandatory org units
based on the selected scope have been created
Central configuration
With SAP Central Business Configuration,

customers are able to do their configuration
during the realize phase in the SAP S/4HANA
Cloud quality system based on:
▪ Self-service configuration (SSC) UIs called from
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
▪ Scope and country-dependent configuration
activities
Configuration activities which need to be

maintained directly in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud
production system (current settings) are
presented in the Deploy phase of the initial

Unit 6: Organizational Management and Finalization
of the Explore Phase
Organizational Management and Finalization of the Explore Phase
Set Up Organizational Structure app
The Set Up Organizational Structure app

supports in modelling your organizational
structure with predefined organizational
units and templates before activating any
content. The tool supports you in:
▪ Defining your org structure and then activating
the content data.
▪ Enhancing your org structure as per the
business requirement when you have already
been using an activated solution, for example
by adding a new plant to the existing org
structure.

Organizational completion rules (OCR)
▪ The Set Up Organizational Structure app is closely

connected with the scoping. The selected scope
specifies which organizational units are required to
run the underlying processes.
▪ Units to Create and Units to Confirm indicators:
These indicators show the number of org units you
need to create and confirm. You can choose them
to see the detailed list of org units. When there are
mandatory org units to be created and confirmed,
these indicators are red and the Complete
Activity button is grayed out.

Completing the organizational structure and finalizing the Explore phase
▪ After all mandatory org units are created and

confirmed, you can click the Complete
Activity button to complete the Set Up
Organizational Structure activity.
▪ After completing all project activities of the Explore
phase, choose the Complete Explore Phase
milestone. In the dialog, choose Confirm Milestone.

Live system demo

Realize phase and configuration activities
▪ The Explore milestone icon in the milestones

timeline turns to green and the project will move to

Summary
Key features of the organizational setup and

its benefits for customers
▪ User Experience: In the ‘Set Up Organizational
Structure’ app you can
− switch between graphic view and table view
− use the filter bar to filter the organizational
units
▪ Organizational Confirmation Rules (OCR)
▪ Deletion and changes of IDs / assignments
possible before activation
Selected subjects planned with the next releases
▪ Organizational setup in staged environment –
org structure can be set up as draft and ▪ Copying organizational units
