Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to
manually set up the configuration within the system landscape that has already been installed
using the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.
If you do not want to configure manually and prefer an automated installation process using
BC Sets and other tools, refer to the Configuration Guide – Getting Started of your SAP rapiddeployment solution that is attached to the SAP Note.
This document supplements the existing Customizing documentation in the Implementation
Guide (IMG) and provides additional information where required.

Preparation
2.1 Prerequisites
Before you start installing this scenario, you must install the prerequisite building blocks. For
more information, see the Building Block Prerequisites Matrix.
2.2 Deployment Options
The configuration guide provides the implementation content for the different deployment
options/SAP Products S/4HANA

Public cloud (PC) – minimal scope & content

On-premise (OP) – full scope and content coverage
Depending on the use case/deployment option/ S/4HANA product version, you need to
implement the required scope/content starting with the Public cloud chapter and proceed with
the next required chapters.

For the full scope of the on premise scope & content – PC and OP are required

For the public cloud scope & content – PC is required; OP is not required
2.3 Configuration
The following section describes the complete settings for this building block. These settings
can be divided into three main groups:

Prerequisite settings that have to be checked and which were delivered by SAP (as part
of the standard delivery)
The term Check refers to these prerequisite settings.

Settings defined by the customer (in the customer namespace and customer-specific):
The system uses automation to request individual customer settings during the
personalization process. These settings can be initial or reused from existing SAP ERP
layers and are indicated in the text by <your value>.

Additional settings that need to be made, covered either by automation or manual
configuration (in the customer namespace).
The term Create refers to these additional settings in the text.
