What´s new in Configure Your Solution

for Deployment Experience

8CUSTOMER© 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ

• Configure Your Solution is available in the Q-

System during scoping, activation of when

there is no project.

• All SSCUIs are made display only during this

time.

• User is alerted by a new banner message in

Configure Your Solution.

• A pop-up message is also displayed in Web

GUI SSCUIs.

• Filter settings can be saved as user-specific or public “views”.

• The example above shows the creation of a view to show only Finance configuration.

• Each view is given a name.

• A user can choose a default view which appears whenever they login.

• A default view can be used to overcome the limitation that the current filter is forgotten every time an SSCUI is used.

• About 90 Web GUI SSCUIs will be enabled with a

feature to delete unwanted customer config records.

• The SSCUIs that have deletion enabled will be

identified in SAP Activate.

• Depending on the SSCUI, some deletions will not be

allowed in order to prevent damage in the Production

System.

• If the record was transported to the Production System,

the record will be deleted when a new transport is

done.

• Deletion of records delivered by SAP is not possible.

• In Fiori SSCUIs (e.g. the main Organization Structure

app) deletion is not possible in 1902.
