SAP Implementation Tools and Technologies

The SAP Solution Manager offers a suite of tools and technologies to centrally support key activities in single-site and multi-site (Global Template/Rollout approach) implementation projects.
Project Administration/Project Definition supports you initially in setting-up your project during project preparation and enables you to carry out major administrative tasks such as the definition of project standards during the entire project.
In the SAP Solution Manager, you can centrally define and manage your System Landscape centrally relevant for your implementation or template projects which allows the interaction and navigation into a related system landscape, for example during configuration and testing.
The definition and documentation of your project scope in Business Blueprint is accelerated through the Business Process Repository providing latest available implementation content and the integrated use of the underlying SAP Knowledge Warehouse. The purpose of the Business Blueprint is to document in detail the scope of business scenarios, business processes and process steps of your implementation project from a business and technical perspective.
During Configuration, you have to configure the business requirements specified in the Business Blueprint phase in the related system landscape. The SAP Solution Manager as central platform for your project team provides the access to the related Project Implementation Guides (IMGs) and integrated use of other customizing technologies such as Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) and customizing distribution.
The Customizing Distribution used with the SAP Solution Manager helps to centrally control customizing changes across the related system landscape of your implementation project.
Testing functions support test coordinators to centrally create test cases and test plans reflecting sequence and integration tests. Testers can centrally execute their test packages, also leveraging existing test technologies for automated testing such as CATT and eCATT.
The latest available Roadmaps representing the standard SAP implementation methodologies are provided through the SAP Solution Manager. With the SAP Solution Manager, you can track status, issues and/or upload your project-specific accelerators along the work packages and tasks of your implementation project.
