Accelerating Your Project with SAP Best Practices

SAP Best Practices represent the adoption of proven strategies and solutions, helping businesses to save time, mitigate risks, and align projects with industry standards.

To facilitate the adoption of these best practices, SAP provides a suite of preconfigured, standardized content. This content serves as an accelerator, enabling organizations to begin leveraging best practices even before the complete configuration and system integration are finalized.

You can access SAP Best Practices through the SAP Signavio Process Navigator. The SAP Signavio Process Navigator is a cloud-based service integrated into SAP for Me.

It offers free access to SAP’s Best Practices process portfolio. This service provides prebuilt assets through a business and solution-oriented data model and design, delivering a process-centric approach to navigating and leveraging SAP's best practices.

The prebuilt assets include:

- Configuration guides

- Master data guides

- Test scripts

- Process flow diagrams

- Sample data

The benefits of using the prebuilt assets are:

• Utilizing the available standard end-to-end scenarios as a baseline.
• Helping to identify the process gaps during the initial phases of the project.
• Enabling users to learn about the solution and navigate the system.
• Facilitating the creation of Proof-of-Concepts and system pilots.
• Allowing partners to utilize the content alongside customers during implementation.

SAP Activate and SAP Best Practices

The perfect combination to run and accelerate a project implementation are ready-to-run business processes (SAP Best Practices) pre-delivered through a structured deployment methodology (SAP Activate).

• Log on to SAP for Me.
• Choose "Services & Support", within the category of ALM.
• Choose "SAP Signavio Process Navigator".
• Use the Search Engine to search for the solution, or use the Solution Scenario and/or Solution Process Applications.

The SAP Best Practices for SAP EWM, extra stack are a great way to kick-start your project implementation. They open the discussion during the Explore Phase on how the warehouse processes should work to adapt to business needs. Additionally, they provide a working baseline version of the warehouse in the system, reducing the initial setup effort.

Currently, the following scope items are available:

- Decentralized EWM - Ad Hoc Goods Issue (‏4RQ‏)

- Decentralized EWM - Inbound Processing (‏4RO‏)

- Decentralized EWM - Outbound Processing (‏4RP‏)

- Decentralized EWM - Physical Inventory (‏4RR‏)

- Decentralized EWM - Replenishment (‏4RS‏)

- Decentralized EWM - Technical Integration ERP (‏4UA‏)

A thorough understanding and effective use of SAP Best Practices are critical for accelerating SAP project implementations. By leveraging prebuilt assets such as configuration guides, master data guides, test scripts, process flow diagrams, and sample data, organizations can quickly initiate projects, identify process gaps, and navigate through the system more efficiently.

The integration of SAP Activate with SAP Best Practices further boosts project efficiency, providing a structured and streamlined approach to achieving implementation success.
