Using SAP Solution Manager in a TemplateProject

Project PreparationSetup global project framework

• Create a template project• Create required no of templates (in template project)• Select standard scenarios from the process library (BPR) as starting point for modeling

template-specific business scenarios

VisibilityControls template use

Open for public useClosed for public use, template „under construction“

Global Rollout FunctionalityControls the use of global attributes


Business BlueprintDefine global requirements

• Detail standard scenarios to customer-specific process structure• Assign template(s) to the customer-specific process structure• Set global attributes to determine scope of process changes in local roll-out projects• Describe global business and technical requirements

Global Attributes• Changes to scenarios, processes and process steps allowed?• If so, to what extend?

Note!• Re-use of existing configuration possible• Translation or process structure can be triggeredusing SAP standard translation tools.


Global RealizationPrepare reference templatewith preconfiguration

• Assign related IMG activities, create and assign BC Sets• Assign global customer-specific developments (programs, transactions etc.)• Record sample / master data as CATTs• Create standard test cases (manual test cases, CATTs, eCATTs )

Local sites give feedback on:– Template improvements, e.g. customer-specific enhancements to be implemented– Template corrections

Create New Template VersionScope and enhance global template

Implement feedback from local sitesAdapt template to new or updated SAP solutions (new building blocks from BPR) ornew customer-specific processes

– Increment version before next version update.– All versions are automatically archived.
