The business configuration apps will help you with the steps you need to perform as an administrator to set up and run SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration. Given the appropriate role, these are accessible from the landing page in the "business configuration" section.

Using these apps, you as an 'admin' can configure the system to support your Cell and Gene Therapy operations. Main aspects to consider are:

  • Configuration related to organizations and business partners ( "Configure Organization Location Types", "Configure Sales Areas", "Configure Plants", and others)
  • Management of statuses (for example "Configure User Status", "Configure Status Profiles", "Configure Entity Status Profile")
  • Configuration of therapies (for example "Configure Therapy Types", "Configure Therapy Categories", "Configure Indications")
  • Configuration related to material (for example "Configure Material Types", "Configure Material Groups", "Configure Biospecimen Shipment Material", "Configure Finished Product Shipment Material" and others)
  • And many more.

For further information, please review the information available in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration Admin Guide. Furthermore, a separate training will be made available covering implementation and configuration enablement content for SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration.
