The following outlines the key steps for setting up SAP Returnable Packaging Management on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). The process includes five main phases:
- Entitlement & Subscription: Technical setup of the SAP BTP account and subscription to SAP RPM.
- Authorisations and Roles: Creating a user management concept by defining roles, role collections, and maintaining users in IAS/IDP and the SAP BTP account.
- Integration with SAP S/4HANA: Technical activity to integrate SAP Returnable Packaging Management with backend systems.
- SAP Returnable Packaging Management - Configuration: Developing a concept for target processes and configuring them within SAP Returnable Packaging Management.
- Master Data: Creating a concept for managing master data and uploading the required data.
Each step includes specific activities to ensure a complete and structured implementation.
The following tutorial explores the intricacies of setting up and managing SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) accounts, including sub-accounts and entitlements. Viewers are guided through the complete process starting from purchasing a license, receiving the initial welcome email, to accessing and configuring the SAP BTP cockpit. It delves into the specifics of creating sub-accounts, choosing appropriate regions, and configuring entitlements for various applications such as the returnable packaging management (RPM). Further, it addresses the activation of environments, the creation of spaces, and the detailed assignment of roles and entitlements within a sub-account. The tutorial aims to provide a thorough walk-through of each step involved, including navigating the SAP BTP cockpit, to ensure that viewers can precisely adjust settings to meet their unique user needs.
The key aspects are:
- SAP BTP Account Structure: The video explains the structure of SAP BTP, including global accounts, sub-accounts, entitlements, quotas, and plans.
- License Purchase and Entitlements: Details how purchasing a license for an SAP application leads to entitlements that define the usage rights and quotas for various services within the application.
- Global and Sub-Accounts Configuration: Discusses how to access and configure global accounts upon receiving a welcome email, and how to create and manage sub-accounts within the global accountl.
- Regions and Admins
- The video highlights that global accounts can be region-specific and have one or more admins who can configure details inside the global account.
- Sub-accounts can also be region-specific and have their own separate admins.
- Identity and Authentication Provider (IDP)
Each sub-account can be linked to an identity provider, which can be a default or custom provider for user authentication.
- User Roles
Differentiates between platform users, who manage deployment and configurations, and business users, who interact with the applications.
- Environments and Spaces
Covers how SAP BTP applications are generally built on the Cloud Foundry environment and how each environment has associated spaces provisioning.
- Creation of Sub-Accounts and Entitlements
The video demonstrates how to create sub-accounts, configure them for specific regions, and manage settings like entitlements for specific applications like SAP RPM.
In the following sections, we will provide simulations that accurately reflect real system behavior, allowing you to gain hands-on experience and a better understanding of the actual SAP Returnable Packaging Management environment. We will cover the following topics in the simulations:
- Creating a Subaccount and Space in SAP BTP Cockpit
- Configuring Entitlements for Subaccount
- Subscribing to SAP Returnable Packaging Management
- Manually Establishing New Trust Configuration in the Subaccount
- Automatically Establish Trust in Subaccount
- Creating a User for SAP Returnable Packaging Management
- Configuring Destination in Cloud Foundry
- Viewing the Internal Host and Port
- Creating User and Role Collection
