New Installation of S/4HANA 1809FPS0 – Part 3 – Best Practices Content Activation

This blog is created with joint team work between Hanuma Rupakula and Mahesh Sardesai.

WARNING: This blog provides guidance for activating 1809 S/4HANA Best Practices when a client is setup as Best Practice client. If you set up a merged client as per Alternative 2 – Setting up a merged client (all client 000 reference settings), follow the activation guidance as per SAP Note 2694270 – Implementation of SAP S/4HANA SAP Best Practices 1809 (on premise) – Activation in a merged client. (steps shown in this color)

NOTE: for Best practices activation purpose, In case you are using SapGui version 7.50, you need to uncheck “Accept Belize theme”. Once the Best practices activation is completed, you can activate the SAP Fiori visual theme back. This is shown later under SAPGUI settings.

Please find other blogs as follows at S/4HANA SQUARE ONE

This blog includes installation of S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 and will focus on creating Sandbox type instance with co-deployed (embedded) gateway.

The step by step procedure for Best Practices Content Activation on S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 has only two base languages EN & DE and Country= USA. The BP Activation process runtime is 6 Hrs. Please refer Admin Guide.

Adding further language translations later is not supported once the solution is activated, therefore, identify and install all the required languages you may need in future (if possible). You can check the following blog post for information on how to import a large number of languages efficiently.

Since 1709 release, the Solution builder automatically identifies your installed languages and imports only those translations required while importing the installation data.

A new Solution Builder profile has been created with ALL scope items but in case you have finalized scope items you can select only the needed scope items. Depending on how many selected scope items, activation procedure will need less time The status of system before starting this procedure is clearly defined before starting.

Tax calculation for US sales and purchases:
The US solution for 1809 (BP_OP_ENTPR_S4HANA1809_USV5.XML) is delivered with internal tax calculation. It includes sample Jurisdiction codes and sample rates so that you can execute the best practices test scripts out of the box. For productive purposes, you must replace the sample jurisdiction codes and rates with the your own user defined jurisdiction codes and actual tax rates. If you prefer to use an external tax provider, you must configure the required settings

STEP1: S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 is installed and SPAM checked as per previous blog Part 2 link above.

STEP2: All Notes are applied after complete installation of S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 is installed as per SAP Note 2659828 – SAP S/4HANA 1809 Feature Package Stack 00: Additional Release Information

STEP 12(OPTIONAL): Best Practices content activation for any solution will populate the client currency as USD by default. In case you want to have a different client currency, you should change the currency before activation starts.You should not change client currency once the first solution in the client is activated. The procedure is as follows:
Enter tCode /N/SMB/CD_MAINT

      Hi Mahesh,

      I have been following your blogs since 1610.

      We were able to activate this in 1809 and we are now following the guide to carry out post activation configuration.

      When we came to 3.5.4.1.2, Requests for Bank Accounts - defining the scenario, there is a system alias called LOCAL_TGW and we never know the correct way to create this alias.

      We did know the way of creating LOCAL / LOCAL_PGW but not TGW. Any insight ?

      Thanks.

      Regards,

      Chiwo

      Hi Mahesh,

      Do I need to perform language supplementation with the default option in client 000 before creating the new BP client?

      Hi Tong,

      If there are multiple languages then you need to install languages as mentioned in the admin guide before BP activation.

      Please note as mentioned in blog:

      "Adding further language translations later is not supported once the solution is activated, therefore, identify and install all the required languages you may need in future (if possible). You can check the following blog post for information on how to import a large number of languages efficiently.

      Since 1709 release, the Solution builder automatically identifies your installed languages and imports only those translations required while importing the installation data."

      Hi Mahesh,

      Sorry, you misunderstand my question :-).

      The question has been resolved by SAP AGS.

      Before copy new client for BP activation, the language supplementation with default option in client 000 should be done.

      Hi Tong,

      The information is in admin guide 2.2.4 Handling Language Imports - "Before you copy customer tables from client 000 to the new client, the import of required languages has to be complete."

      If there are many languages you can also used this blogpost mentioned in the guide

      Time Saving tips to import many languages for ERP/S4HANA Installation

      Thanks for bringing it up. It is mentioned as text before starting STEP 1 but we will make it clear as a step in future revisions.

      Hello Mahesh,

      Thanks for your blog here 🙂 I am currently working on the preparation for activating BP in a S4HANA 1809 FP02. I followed the guide, which means we activated business functions in SFW5, prepared the Table /FTI/T_NOCLN000 since a best practice client was needed and started SCCL afterwards with the SAP_CUST profile.

      After the successful copy I logged on the new client (SAP*) to create some users. This is unfortunately not possible since a new user needs a standard company (SUCOMP). Here our problem occurs: If I start to maintain SUCOMP I cannot choose any country code or Title from the dropdown box on the top. At least the country code is mandatory for creating an SUCOMP entry and SUCOMP is needed for creating new users...

      Any idea what the cause might be?

      Thanks for any help 🙂

      Regards
      Daniel

      Hi Daniel,

      Yes I think I ran into same issue long time a go. It was a Catch-22 situation with not being able to proceed as there were other dependencies that could not be fulfilled with current status of the client. Best way is to use SAP_UCUS.

      Hello Mahesh,

      The links from the s-note 2626852 in STEP 5 can't be accessed as the S-user authentication is not possible so I can't download the transport files. Is there any workaround for this?

       

      Many thanks in advance!

      The download is only available to S-User with proper download authorization, so you will have to ask administrator to provide proper authorization.

      The document is very useful. When we move the Best Practices content to QA and PRD systems , what sequence should I follow to move the BP activation transports.

      1. Customizing or Workbench

      2. Do we need to maintain the currency if other than USD before moving the transports in /N/SMB/CD_MAINT

      • in SCC4 , should leave the currency settings blank which we will be populated by transports.

      Regards

      Hello Mahesh,

      we are not using the solution builder to build the manual activities. I have activated the best practices for Canada and want to move them across qas and production. Before moving the activation transports, do I need to import the solution and adjust the currency or transports will take care of that step

      regards
