In this chapter. When you make the adjustments. Because the software is a tightly integrated all-in-one application. what you’re actually doing is adjusting the underlying parameters or values of the application tables by selecting from a list of options or providing your own values. Customizing provides you with a structured plan for SAP implementation and enhancement. cross-application components. and functional application) within the IMG 57 . By customizing the application. you can implement. you’ll learn about: E E E IMG and its structure IMG variants Logical components (such as the general settings. helps you carry out the customizing tasks in a structured way. typically referred to as IMG. SAP’s Implementation Guide. The standard application delivery comes replete with most of the common processes and scenarios that address almost all the business processes and requirements used by businesses across the globe. processing.The Implementation Guide (IMG) helps you to customize the SAP application for your company’s specific business and processing requirements. It also helps you to transfer your system configuration from the development environment into the production environment. you need to customize it by making the appropriate adjustments or settings so that the software is tuned to meet your specific needs. and upgrade your SAP system. and evaluating your implementation or enhancement projects. enhance. It also provides the necessary administrative tools (in the form of customizing projects) for managing. made up of several components and sub-components. you need to tailor it to match your company’s business requirements. 1 IMG Settings There are several settings for the display and editing functions in customizing. which will give you a reference to fall back on. double-click the structure title or click the Documentation symbol (for the IMG activity) beside the structure title. Make customizing settings: Click the Perform IMG Activity symbol beside the structure title.3 Customizing SAP E E How to define a new project before carrying out the customizing activities Alternatives for customizing by using SAP tables directly (direct table maintenance) Let’s get started. and go to the associated customizing transaction. To do this. Read the description of the nodes in the IMG structure. It contains the documentation and customizing tasks that can help you to structure and organize the implementation of the SAP system for your company. Choose Execute in front of the name of the BAdI implementation. Activate or deactivate business add-ins (BAdIs) in your system. or print the IMG documentation or the project documentation for individual structure nodes. It comes with all the work steps and tasks required for the implementation. Enter status or project information in Execute Project. 58 .1. You can perform the following activities in an IMG: E Change documents in the implementation guide without changing the original: select Display Text with SAPscript. Print the structure of the entire IMG. together with the necessary documentation to guide you through the activities. E E E E E 3.1 The Implementation Guide The IMG is a hierarchical structure of the application areas in the component hierarchy. You can also attach your company-specific customizing documentation to any of these steps. 3. which can be grouped into user-specific settings and cross-project settings. If you want to disable controls-based display.1 User-Specific Settings Choose Settings • User-Specific in the customizing menu to make or change userspecific settings. and project documentation (lower right). you can move the additional information column displayed to the right of the structure and change the display width.1 User-Specific Settings for IMG Structure Tips & Tricks When you use controls. If you display an IMG structure in a tree control. 59 . structures and lists are displayed using controls. Combining the tree-control display with a split screen gives you a major advantage: If active. You can toggle between full screen and split screen IMG structure display with the Full Screen On/Off button. You can also go back to the split screen from the full screen with the status or document icons of an IMG activity. This is useful if the IMG structure is very deep and the node texts are very long. the screen is divided into several areas to display IMG structure (left).1. de-select appropriate flags on the General (Customizing Projects) tab. status maintenance (upper right). SAP provides you with two major controls: E Display with controls: In the standard system.The Implementation Guide 3. The system records your screen layout and returns to it when returning from full screen. Additional display options: You can change the display options on the IMG Struct. tab as shown Figure 3. You can enter the status and the project documentation for the relevant IMG activity while simultaneously resizing the individual screen areas with the mouse. E Figure 3. you have a wider variety of display options available than you would have if you were using the standard display format without controls. 3 Customizing SAP Cross-Project Settings To make or change cross-project settings, choose Settings • Cross-Project Settings… in the customizing menu of Execute Project Or Project Management. You can hide the completed projects with these settings, and you can select the project documentation editor (SAPscript, simple text input control, or PC editor: Microsoft Word or WordPro). Note that all these settings apply to all projects and are not user-specific. 3.1.2 IMG Variants There are three variants of IMG serving three different purposes in customizing, which we will discuss in the following subsections. SAP Reference IMG The SAP Reference IMG is the default IMG delivered by SAP, containing full functionality for all possible customizing settings across all countries and application components. Structured according to the core SAP R/3 component hierarchy, all customizing activities are assigned to one or more components within the hierarchy. You can display the SAP Reference IMG by going to Tools • Customizing • IMG • Execute Project (or Transaction SPRO) on the sap menu on the SAP Easy Access screen. Alternatively, you can use Transaction SPRO_ADMIN, then use the menu GoTo • SAP Reference IMG or use the SAP Reference IMG pushbutton on the Customizing: Project Administration screen. Project IMG Use Project IMG to customize your own project. It contains all the activities that can be performed in a particular project, including project scope by countries, components, or customizing activities. As you can see in Figure 3.2, it is a sub-set of SAP Reference IMG, and is reduced by the project scope for select countries and components. Tips & Tricks To reduce the complexity of the configuration, we recommend creating separate implementation projects and choose only those functions that you need for the processes in your project. You will generate separate Project IMGs for each implementation project and for release updates. 60 The Implementation Guide 3.1 SAP Reference IMG Userspecific settings Crossproject settings Project IMG Project A Project B Project view IMG Critical activities ASAP roadmap activities Figure 3.2 IMG Variants Project View IMG A sub-set of Project IMG, the Project View IMG is made of up attributes selected from a Project IMG. By using the Project View IMG, you can generate views to structure your project activities by specified criteria. For example, the Mandatory Activities view contains only the activities that are required. By assigning project team members a view, you will ensure that the team members get lists with views of all projects to which they have been assigned. The project views are useful in implementation projects, release and system upgrades, and for legal changes. Tips & Tricks You can use release-specific project views for customizing upgrade activities and for carrying out delta customizing activities, which include all customizing activities necessary to enable new functions to be used in the previously used application areas after a system or release upgrade. 3.1.3 Logical Components of IMG The IMG is made up of several logical components: SAP NetWeaver, enterprise structure, cross-application components, and functional applications. SAP NetWeaver You will find all the general settings—relating to country, currency, calendar, time zone, units of measurement (UOM), etc.—and settings for mobile infrastructure, business intelligence, application server, and knowledge management under this group in SAP Reference IMG. 61 3 Customizing SAP Enterprise Structure You will see several tasks structured in this group to carry out the definition and assignment of various organizational elements relating to FI, CO, Logistics (General), Sales and Distribution, Materials Management, Logistics Execution, Plant Maintenance, and Human Resources Management. Cross-Application Components About 25 categories are included in this logical group (see Figure 3.3), with tasks and functions used across applications. Among other things, the documentation and settings apply to enterprise services, notification, document management, engineering change management, CAD integration, plant data collection, payment cards, bank directory, time-sheet, self-services, audit management, financial conditions, open information warehouse (OIW), SAP business partner, and SAP product. Figure 3.3 Cross-Application Components in IMG Functional Applications This grouping contains a number of functional application areas, including FI, FSCM, Investment Management (IM), CO, Enterprise Controlling (EC), Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM), Logistics (General & Execution), EH&S, SD, MM, QM, PM and CS, PP, PS, Time Management, Payroll, Public Sector Management, and SAP Global Trade Services. This completes our discussion of IMG. Let’s move on to create a customizing project in the SAP system. 62 and so on. You also can maintain the data relating to person days (PD) planned and actual with details on start and end dates.

In this method. we have been discussing how to create a customizing project using the IMG. and you will also not receive any guidance in the way of related documentation that otherwise would be available in IMG. you will find the SAP table where the relevant values are stored in the system. but do not want to change the values directly.9 IMG Activity Analysis by Project or View So far. This is more often used as a quick fix and not as the normal approach. Note that this alternate route is not simple. which we will describe next. There is another way of customizing. use the table maintenance transaction (say. Transaction SM31) to reach the particular table and use the Maintain button to add new values to the table. Tips & Tricks If you know the table or view.3 Customizing SAP Figure 3. 3. 68 . then use the following procedure to reach the IMG step for customizing: E Use Transaction SM31 and enter the name of the table or view in the Table/View field on the Maintain Table Views: Initial screen.3 Alternate Method to Customize Through IMG You can also customize the SAP system using (extended) direct table maintenance as an alternative to IMG. You also learned that there are three variants of IMG namely.4 Summary In this chapter. etc. You saw that the entire customizing activities are logically grouped into NetWeaver. Otherwise. 69 . because you may not fully understand the end-to-end linkages and integration. SAP Reference IMG. Warning! During direct table maintenance. from which you will double-click on the appropriate IMG Activity to reach the specific customizing step. how to assign project team to the project. the system will directly take you to the customizing step on the IMG. You further learned how to define the scope by selecting the required application components and relevant countries. and how to generate the Project IMG. Additionally. If there are multiple IMG paths. Project IMG. you need to be especially careful not to change any of the SAP-delivered default or standard values. and Functional Applications. Enter a project name or press the Continue w/o Specifying Project button on the pop-up screen. we gave an alternate way of customizing through direct table maintenance. You learned that you need to create a new customizing project to suit your implementation needs. 3.Summary 3. We demonstrated that through user-specific and cross-project settings you can change or modify the IMG defaults relating to display. you’ve learned that you need to customize the SAP application to suit your own business and transaction requirements before using it. which all serve different purposes in Customizing. how to define project views. Any such change may result in irreparable damage across components. documentation.

Let’s move on to Chapter 4 to learn how to create the enterprise structure in SAP that will reflect your business organization in the SAP system.3 Customizing SAP This completes our discussion of customizing SAP applications. 70 . We have created the Mercury customizing project to reflect the case study. SAP ERP comes delivered with a number of standard organizational units to reflect the requirements of an enterprise in such areas as accounting and logistics. Look at your current structure. MM. define your own organizational units. which ones you need to extend to suit your needs.Defining your enterprise structure in the SAP system is the most critical setup in an implementation. visualize what you will need in future. You can localize the SAP-supplied sample organizational units for the required countries. and try defining only the units that would be absolutely required: Nothing more. we’ll mostly stick to FI enterprise structure. 4 Enterprise Structure You need to portray your organization’s structure as an enterprise structure in the SAP system. with minimal references to CO. This is important because it can be extremely difficult to correct a structure that is already operational. nothing less. An enterprise structure will consist of organizational units pertaining to FI. be sure to lock the customizing access after the definition or assignment to prevent any unauthorized changes. Defining the various FI organizational units. Because this is the most critical step in the entire implementation. and so on. and which new units you need to define. SD. start mapping your required structure into these organizational units and arrive at the enterprise structure reflecting your business. Then. E 71 . CO. since values flow across all these applications. In this chapter. for the purposes of this book. you will learn about: E Localizing the SAP supplied sample organizational units to suit the countries in which you are operating. You do so by defining the required organizational units (or elements) and specifying interdependencies by assigning them to each other. Study these sample units. But. and make assignments among them for automatic data transfer. determine which ones you can use as-is (by copying). Because the client sits at the top of the SAP system hierarchy. The standard SAP system comes delivered with clients 000 and 001. organizationally.1 FI Organizational Units 72 . An obligatory organizational unit. You will assign these organizational units to each other in order to build the framework for processing business transactions by transferring data automatically between the individual components. Table 4. and technically self-contained unit within the SAP system.1 Organizational Units in Financial Accounting (FI) Before discussing organizational units. a client (field name: Mandt) is a commercially. since you need to make specifications or enter data only once. and analysis are all saved for each client.4 Enterprise Structure E Assigning various organizational units to one another to define the interdependencies and relationships between them. the organizational units of FI are designed to fulfill your business requirements and meet the legal or statutory regulations of external parties. You can have more than one client defined in the SAP system. The data entry. 4.1 shows the obligatory and optional organizational units in FI. You need to enter a client key (three-digit identifier) when you log on to the SAP system. having its own master records and tables. Let’s get started. processing.

This ensures that the data is consistent. any specification that you make or data that you enter at this level is valid for all company codes and for all other organizational structures within that client. we first need to clarify the concept of a client. tax procedures. These units. The country versions do not constitute separate application components. such as company code and plant.e. you need to localize them in client 001. are numbered as “0001” in the standard SAP system.Localize Sample Organizational Units 4.) and typical business practices of a particular country. Country Template and Country Version Supplied with each of the standard country versions. 73 . 4. and Singapore (SG). We therefore must carry out country localization before defining the organizational units. Before you copy these units to define your own organization structure. Case Study: Mercury The SAP ERP 6. If you want to localize for more than one country. etc. financial statement version. The standard SAP system includes a country template for each of the 40 country versions. payment methods. the case study is restricted to its business operations in the United States of America (US). country-specific functions. charts of depreciation. Let’s take a look at completing the customizing of country installation for our case study Mercury. Great Britain (GB). to the standard organizational units and creates sample organization units for a particular country. Each country version consists of generic system functions. and a country template. account determination. using the country installation program and selecting the appropriate country template.2 Before you start defining the required organizational units. you need to meet the country-specific requirements by completing the localization of sample organizational units supplied by SAP.0 implementation project for the fictitious company BellSmith (BS) is code-named Mercury.2 Localize Sample Organizational Units The SAP-supplied sample organizational units are country-independent. the country template is a customizing tool that contains a series of customizing settings to reflect the legal requirements (i. you can simply repeat the country installation using other country templates. rather. charts of accounts. taxes. and others..

Tips & Tricks Do NOT directly customize any localized sample company code. E Financial management area The country installation program changes the default language. but can work directly with the area that is localized.Localize Sample Organizational Units 4. For example. you can use a copy of the localized area for one company and the original for the other. For example. currency. E Transportation planning point The country installation program changes the calendar to match the localized country.2 E Controlling area The country installation program assigns controlling area 0001 to countries working with the generic chart of accounts (INT). Tips & Tricks Unlike other organizational units (such as company code). you do not normally need to copy the sample controlling area. address. if you have two companies in the US and want them to use separate controlling areas. E Sales organization The changes made to the default sales organization 0001 are calendar and currency. 75 . E Shipping point The changes made to the sample shipping point 0001 include calendar. You only need to copy a controlling area if you need more than one. in the case of Germany. country. E Storage location or purchasing organization Only the description is changed. two controlling areas are provided: DE01 for the Joint Standard Accounting System and DE02 for the Industry Standard Accounting System. and the fiscal-year variant. and currency. and currency. for others (working with their own chart of accounts). E Credit control area The only change the country installation program makes is changing the currency of the default credit control area (0001) to the currency of the localized country. E Plant The changes include calendar. their own controlling areas are assigned. 4 Enterprise Structure You’ll notice that the organizational units have not yet been localized. Take care to run this only in clients that are exact copies of the delivery client.
