Configuration SOLAR02

• In Configuration transaction, you have to assign the configuration structure that is needed for your implementation scenario.

• The entry screen of the Realization phase looks similar to the Business Blueprint transaction. The Business Scenario structure you selected in the scope is taken over from the previous transaction

• From here you can select individual parts of the maintained configuration structure content that are required to configure your scenarios.

• In the business process repository, select the configuration structure for SAP component and confirm it.

• The Configuration content is divided into different sections. You should at least select the basic settings for mySAP component to configure the overall solution.

• In the second step choose basic settings for your key capability.
