Once all configurations have been completed and validated, and the communication materials and training are ready, you are ready to deploy your solution to production and launch your go-live activities or pilot.
Your Functional Lead should define a cutover plan. The cutover plan guides you through the steps by which your configuration should be deployed to your production environment. SAP provides a cutover checklist that can serve as a starting point for your specific cutover plan.
For Greenfield deployments, you can use the intelligent configuration manager tool to reduce the number of manual steps required.
For Bluefield deployments, the migration to production will require manual steps, as outlined in the deployment checklist.
The migration should be coordinated with the SAP Deployment Lead, who can get the production site ready for migration by enabling the necessary SAP-controlled features.
To ensure a smooth transition, your SAP Deployment Lead will be available for up to two weeks after go-live.

- Prepare for deployment by completing configurations and ensuring communication materials and training are ready.
- Develop a cutover plan to guide deployment steps, using SAP’s cutover checklist as a starting point.
- Use intelligent configuration manager for Greenfield deployments; Bluefield deployments require manual steps from the deployment checklist.
- Coordinate migration with the SAP Deployment Lead, who enables production features and ensures readiness.
