Configuring Lists

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to demonstrate configuring List Management based on the customer's business requirements.

List Management Configuration

While reviewing CVI's business requirements, you learned that CVI is using SAP S/4HANA as its financial platform and is currently using Cost Centers, Internal Orders, and WBS Elements as their cost objects. Furthermore, you have been given some sample data that you can manually add to the system during the configuration process while your technical resources build the integration to import the rest of the data.

SAP Integration Hierarchy Structure

The standard SAP Integration Hierarchy is a 4-level connected list, with the four levels representing:

  1. Logical System: This represents how the SAP system is identified. Most customers have only one, but it is possible to have multiple.
  2. Company Code: These represent the different internal companies using the system.
  3. Cost Object Type: These are the different types of cost objects available to each company.
  4. Cost Object ID: These are the individual cost objects.

Review the image below for an example.
