HCM Base Services in Manager Self-Service: Configuration Guide 1 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 prefer to install the solution automatically using BC Sets and other tools, refer to the Quick Guide of your SAP rapid-deployment 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. 2 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 for the SAP Personnel Administration and Organization Management rapid-deployment solution. You will find this document in the content library attached to the Step-by-Step Guide. 2.2 Copying of SAP Standard Objects Wherever possible, objects that belong to the standard SAP delivery have been copied for this rapid-deployment solution. We do not recommend changing the standard SAP objects. Copying the standard objects is a major implementation accelerator. You can immediately make adjustments to the solution objects by copying objects. s to the standard SAP objects will not affect the solution objects and changes to the copied objects will not be affected in this way. s to standard SAP objects affect objects that were copied as delta links. These objects inherit changes from their parent objects. Detailed descriptions of the objects and the copied objects can be found in the Configuration section. 3 Configuration The following section describes the complete settings for this building block. These settings can be divided into two main groups: Prerequisite settings that have to be checked and were delivered by SAP (as part of the standard delivery). o The term refers to these prerequisite settings. Additional settings that need to be made covered either by automation or manual configuration (in the customer namespace). o The term Create refers to these additional settings in the text.
