Localization as a self-service enables customers to extend SAP-delivered local versions for their unique operational requirements.
Now, let's delve into the methodical approach for activating and extending the SAP-delivered local version:
Step 1 - Create Localization Project
Begin by establishing a new project within the Central Business Configuration.
More information on Central Business Configuration can be found here: Configuring with SAP Central Business Configuration
Step 2 - Activate the country version
- Choose the country/region
- Choose the bundles/scopes
- Choose fiscal year variant
Step 3 - Establish Organizational Structure
- Create distinct organizational units tailored for the selected country/region.
- Specify local address formats.
Step 4 - Fine-tune business configurations
Use configuration activities to check the pre-delivered configuration content and adjust it if required to meet local business requirements.
Step 5 - Implement last mile localizations
- Implement any specific requirements using extensibility capabilities of localization as a self-service.
- Develop stand-alone applications or complex ABAP extensions using side-by-side extensibility or developer extensibility.
Step 6 - Maintain last mile localizations
The customer or partner holds responsibility for maintaining last mile localizations.
NoteSAP provides legal updates or requirements for the selected country/region as and when there are updates.
