Generating the Digital Discovery Assessment Report

The completed Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) Report can be exported from the Digital Discovery Assessment app in PDF format as a handover document for the future implementation team.

This report is used to set the project scope when the implementation project begins in the Prepare phase of the SAP Activate Methodology.

The report provides the following information:

• Known integration and extension requirements.
• Localizations and legal entities.
• The percentage of business scenarios (scope items) selected in each functional business area.
• Individual business scenarios selected.
• Selection of priority and which implementation phase the business scenario will be rolled-out (optional).
• Questions and notes raised by a customer regarding specific scenarios and the corresponding answers from the account team.
• Additional business process-related requirements.
• Detailed project-related questions.

When an implementation project begins, one of the first activities for the project manager is to set up the implementation project in SAP Cloud ALM, which has project management capabilities. This tool is included in the Enterprise Support for Cloud Editions for both SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public and Private Edition at no additional cost.

The project manager should navigate to the Supply Chain of Selling app, select the customer opportunity, and select the Import & Export tab. There are two different types of files that can be exported:

• Export Excel is used to download an excel file with a list of all selected business processes. This file is uploaded to SAP Cloud ALM when defining the scope for the project. The alternative is manually selecting every business process that should be included in the scope in Cloud ALM, so the export/import method is much faster.
• Export to JSON for CBC is used to download a JSON file with a list of all selected business processes. This file is uploaded to SAP Central Business Configuration when activating the business process content for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Starter System and/or Development System tenants. If the scope has changed since the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) was completed, you can always edit the DDA and download the updated JSON file. This makes it faster when selecting the business processes to be activated in the actual SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition systems.
  Note

  This option is only available for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition customer opportunities because SAP Central Business Configuration is a tool used for Public Edition systems. Business processes are activated through a different tool in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition systems.

The Documentation app in the Digital Discovery Assessment platform is an incredibly valuable resource that describes all functionality and capabilities of the platform. Please make use of this resource if you run into any questions while working with the Supply Chain of Selling or Digital Discovery Assessment apps!
