 Fiscal year variant and group currency are activities that are applied to the entire system and cannot be changed after confirmation in SAP Central Business Configuration. These activities are part of the system provisioning step, which is the first step in the implementation process. Once the system provisioning is completed and confirmed, the system is locked for these activities and any changes would require a new system provisioning. Scoping and configuration activities, on the other hand, are not applied to the entire system and can be changed later on in the project experience step, which is the second step in the implementation process. Scoping and configuration activities allow the user to adapt the preconfiguration content to their company’s needs and extend the configuration for areas not equipped with preconfiguration content. References = SAP Central Business Configuration – Overview, page 6; Configuring with SAP Central Business Configuration

When you build an integration scenario using the SAP Fiori Communication Management apps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, you must create a communication system and a communication arrangement. A communication system represents the communication partner within a communication, such as the system that calls or provides services. A communication arrangement defines the settings for a specific communication scenario, such as the authentication method, the communication user, and the service URL. You can use the Communication Systems app and the Communication Arrangements app to create and manage these objects in the SAP Fiori launchpad. References = Setting up Communication Management - SAP Learning, Setting up SAP Best Practices Integrations - SAP Learning, Setting Up Integrations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The SAP Activate methodology outlines the phases for implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. One crucial phase is the 'Explore' phase. During this phase, consultants work closely with the business to understand its processes and requirements through Fit-to-Standard workshops. These workshops are designed to identify the best fit of the standard SAP S/4HANA processes with the business's needs. It's a collaborative effort to explore the capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and configure the business processes accordingly. This phase is fundamental in ensuring that the solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of the business, setting the foundation for a successful implementation.

A business role is assigned to a business user to provide access to business tasks. A business role can contain one or more business catalogs, which are predefined by SAP and contain the actual authorizations that allow users to access the apps contained in the catalog. Each business catalog bundles authorizations for a specific business area. You can tailor the access according to the needs of the business and for compliance purposes using restrictions. References = Finding the Required Business Roles and Business Catalogs for a Solution Process, Defining Business Roles for Production, Business Roles and Catalogs

In the Organizational Structure app within SAP Central Business Configuration, the structure of an organization is defined by specifying various entities that reflect the business's operational and functional areas. Under the Company root node, entities such as Sales Organization and Purchasing Organization can be added:

Sales Organization: This entity is responsible for the distribution and sale of goods and services. It defines the scope of sales activities, including customer negotiations, sales orders, and distribution. Adding a Sales Organization under the Company root node allows for the management and configuration of sales-related processes within SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Purchasing Organization: This entity manages procurement activities, including the negotiation of purchasing conditions, ordering, and the receipt of goods. By adding a Purchasing Organization under the Company root node, the system can handle procurement processes, vendor relationships, and purchasing analytics.

These entities are crucial for defining how the organization operates within the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition environment, facilitating the alignment of the software's functionality with the company's business processes.

  Tools that enable non-developers to create low/no-code extensions are designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal to no programming knowledge, allowing business users to tailor applications to their specific needs. Among these tools, SAP Fiori extensibility apps and SAP Build stand out:

SAP Fiori extensibility apps: These apps allow users to adapt the user interface and behavior of standard SAP Fiori apps without writing code. Users can personalize forms, fields, and workflows directly within the SAP Fiori environment, making it possible to adjust applications to meet specific business requirements.

SAP Build: SAP Build is a suite of tools designed to enable users to create and enhance applications, automate processes, and design business sites with low-code or no-code approaches. It provides a user-friendly interface where users can drag and drop components, set up workflows, and integrate data without needing deep technical expertise.

 The Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire is a tool that helps you collect the values that are entered into the configuration activities in SAP Central Business Configuration. It is a web-based questionnaire that guides you through the configuration settings for each solution process. You can use the questionnaire to enter the values for the configuration activities, review the values, and export them to an Excel file. You can then import the Excel file to SAP Central Business Configuration and apply the values to the configuration activities. References = Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire, Importing Configuration Values from Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire, Using SAP Central Business Configuration to Activate Content in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Starter System

The following would prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

An execution variant has not been maintained: An execution variant is a set of test data that is used to execute a test process. It contains the input values and expected results for each test step. If an execution variant is not maintained for a test process, the system cannot run the test automatically and will skip it1.

The test process failed the execution pre-check: The execution pre-check is a validation that is performed before the test execution to ensure that the test process and the execution variant are consistent and complete. If the execution pre-check fails, it means that there are some issues or gaps in the test process or the execution variant that need to be resolved before the test can be run2.

The following would not prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

Data marked for deletion is picked for execution: Data marked for deletion is data that is no longer relevant or valid for the test process. It can be marked for deletion by the customer or by SAP. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will ignore the data marked for deletion and use the available data for the test process3.

The process steps have been reordered: The process steps are the individual actions that are performed as part of the test process. They can be reordered by the customer or by SAP to reflect the changes in the business process or the user interface. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will follow the order of the process steps as defined in the test process4.

In different deployment models, the responsibility for application management varies, with the customer typically taking on more responsibility in certain models:

Platform as a Service (PaaS): In this model, the customer is responsible for managing the applications they develop or deploy on the platform, even though the provider manages the underlying infrastructure, operating systems, and middleware.

On premise: In an on-premise deployment, the customer has full responsibility for managing both the applications and the infrastructure they run on. This includes maintenance, updates, security, and compliance for both the applications and the hardware/software infrastructure.

Private Cloud: Similar to on-premise deployments, customers in a private cloud model are typically responsible for managing their applications, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The cloud provider may manage the cloud infrastructure and virtualization layer, but the customer often handles application-level management tasks, including updates, customization, and user management.

These deployment models contrast with Software as a Service (SaaS), where the service provider is generally responsible for managing the application, including its maintenance, updates, and availability.

 The Manage KPIs and Reports app is a single platform for creating all analytical applications using KPIs, reports, multidimensional reports, and stories. You can create applications that can be launched directly from SAP Fiori launchpad. The app is integrated with SAP Analytics Cloud, which allows you to create and view stories. A story is a presentation-style document that uses charts, tables, and other visualizations to display data insights. A review booklet is a collection of stories that can be used to share information with stakeholders. A multidimensional report is a type of report that allows you to analyze data from multiple dimensions and measures. You can create and view multidimensional reports from the app. An object view is a type of report that displays data for a single object, such as a customer or a product. You cannot create or view object views from the app. A Lumira dashboard is a type of dashboard that uses SAP Lumira to create and display data visualizations. You cannot create or view Lumira dashboards from the app. References = Manage KPIs and Reports, Stories, Review Booklets, [Multidimensional Reports]

Side-by-side extensibility is the type of extensibility where the SAP Business Technology Platform is used to host a custom extension and integrate it with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. Side-by-side extensibility enables customers and partners to build extensions that are decoupled from the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, ensuring lifecycle stability and avoiding modification of SAP code. Side-by-side extensibility leverages the capabilities of the SAP Business Technology Platform, such as SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Services, SAP Cloud Platform Business Rules, SAP Cloud Platform Integration, and SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory. References = Utilizing the Clean Core Strategy and Extensibility Tools; Using Side-by-Side Extensibility with SAP Business Technology Platform

You can rename or assign a different deployment target in SAP Central Business Configuration before completing the Confirm Scoping milestone. This allows you to change the system tenant that will be used for the initial deployment of the content. However, you cannot define the group currency or create a company code before confirming the scoping, as these are configuration activities that require a deployed system. References = Deployment Targets, Assigning a Deployment Target
