Working in the Relevant Configuration Environment

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to be able to work in the currently existing two different configuration environments

Introduction

Have you heard about the two different configuration environments for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition? Do you know about the background for this?

  • SAP Central Business Configuration is a tool designed to enable business processes across different SAP cloud solutions to be configured from a central location. Currently, SAP Central Business Configuration supports system deployment and configuration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition since January 2021. 

    Customers who implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition after January 2021 received an SAP Central Business Configuration system along with their SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition systems.

  • Prior to the introduction of SAP Central Business Configuration, the Manage Your Solution and Configure Your Solution apps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition were used to perform configuration activities. Customers who implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition prior to January 2021 will continue to use this method to maintain their systems until their systems are converted by SAP. Until all customers are converted to SAP Central Business Configuration, the Manage Your Solution app will not be removed from the launchpad.

Manage Your Solution App

The Manage Your Solution app is accessible from the SAP Fiori launchpad in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system and is used for configuration by all customers who have deployed SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition before January 2021.

Start the following demonstration to learn how to access a configuration item using the Manage Your Solution / Configure Your Solution apps.
