SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) provides a foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP where integrations and extensions live. SAP BTP is a cloud-based platform that offers a range of services and capabilities to extend, integrate, and orchestrate SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP BTP enables customers and partners to build extensions that are decoupled from the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, ensuring lifecycle stability and avoiding modification of SAP code. SAP BTP also leverages the huge library of free integration packages and extension templates available on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, which can be consumed and customized according to the customer’s needs. All services are listed in the SAP Discovery Center, where customers can explore, try, and buy SAP BTP services.

SAP ABAP Environment, SAP Discovery Center, and SAP Business Accelerator Hub are not the foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP, but rather components or tools that are related to SAP BTP. SAP ABAP Environment is a service on SAP BTP that allows customers and partners to develop and run ABAP code in the cloud. SAP Discovery Center is a portal that showcases the available services and solutions on SAP BTP and guides customers through the end-to-end journey of discovering, trying, buying, and implementing them. SAP Business Accelerator Hub is a repository of ready-to-use integration packages and extension templates that can be deployed on SAP BTP to accelerate the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. References = Navigating SAP’s Cloud ERP Portfolio; ERP integration: When, why, and how; Exploring SAP’s Cloud Integration Technologies; Why Cloud ERP Is Right For Your Scaleup

When an end user has been assigned a business role that grants access to only one specific application, and the app does not appear on the user's SAP Fiori Launchpad, the recommended action for the user is:

Use the search function to find the app:The search function on the SAP Fiori Launchpad allows users to locate applications by their name or related keywords. Even if the app is not immediately visible on the launchpad due to configuration issues or other reasons, using the search function can help the user access the app directly. This is a quick and effective way for users to access necessary applications when they encounter visibility issues on their launchpad.

 Tools that enable non-developers to create low/no-code extensions are designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal to no programming knowledge, allowing business users to tailor applications to their specific needs. Among these tools, SAP Fiori extensibility apps and SAP Build stand out:

SAP Fiori extensibility apps:These apps allow users to adapt the user interface and behavior of standard SAP Fiori apps without writing code. Users can personalize forms, fields, and workflows directly within the SAP Fiori environment, making it possible to adjust applications to meet specific business requirements.

SAP Build:SAP Build is a suite of tools designed to enable users to create and enhance applications, automate processes, and design business sites with low-code or no-code approaches. It provides a user-friendly interface where users can drag and drop components, set up workflows, and integrate data without needing deep technical expertise.

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

Project manager:The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.

A public cloud is a type of cloud computing in which a third-party service provider makes computing resources available to users over the public Internet. Some characteristics of public cloud are:

Multi-tenant server: Public cloud uses shared infrastructure, where multiple users or organizations can access the same resources, such as compute, storage, or applications. The data and applications of each user are isolated and secured from others. This allows for efficient utilization of resources and scalability.

Lower total cost of ownership: Public cloud reduces the upfront and operational costs of IT, as users do not need to purchase, install, or maintain hardware or software. Users only pay for the resources they use, and can benefit from the economies of scale and continuous innovation of the cloud service provider.

The SAP Activate methodology outlines the phases for implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. One crucial phase is the 'Explore' phase. During this phase, consultants workclosely with the business to understand its processes and requirements through Fit-to-Standard workshops. These workshops are designed to identify the best fit of the standard SAP S/4HANA processes with the business's needs. It's a collaborative effort to explore the capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and configure the business processes accordingly. This phase is fundamental in ensuring that the solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of the business, setting the foundation for a successful implementation.

When using the Local SAP S/4HANA Database Schema migration approach, you can upload multiple XML files at once by using a ZIP file. The total maximum permitted size for the XML files in the ZIP file is 160 MB. The limit for the ZIP file is also 160 MB. Therefore, the maximum file size is 160 MB per ZIP file and 160 MB per file. References = SAP Help Portal - SAP Online Help, SAP Help Portal - SAP Online Help

 The organizational entities that are required in SAP Central Business Configuration are defined by the selected deployment target and the selected scope. The deployment target specifies which SAP cloud solutions are included in the project, such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. The scope specifies which business processes and countries/regionsare included in the project, such as sales or professional services. These choices determine which organizational units are required to run the underlying processes, such as company, business residence, sales organization, or project unit. Added partner content and system consistency checks do not define the organizational entities, but rather enhance or validate the configuration. References = SAP Central Business Configuration – Overview, page 5; Introducing SAP Central Business Configuration

In SAP Central Business Configuration, the organizational entities that need to be defined for an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementation are influenced by two primary factors: the selected deployment target and the selected scope. The deployment target refers to the specific environment or system where SAP S/4HANA Cloud will be implemented. This choice can affect which organizational entities are necessary based on the technical and business requirements of that environment. The selected scope, on the other hand, pertains to the business processes and functions that the company intends to use within SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This determines the organizational structures, such as company codes, sales organizations, and purchasing organizations, that need to be set up to support the scoped processes. Both factors are integral to ensuring that the configuration supports the business's operational needs and strategic objectives.

 The Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M) is a framework that helps customers and partners to define their integration strategy, design the integration architecture, and document the integration solution. ISA-M covers the entire integration lifecycle, from planning and scoping to testing and deployment. ISA-M is based on best practices and recommendations from SAP and industry experts. ISA-M supports different integration scenarios, such as cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premise, and hybrid integration. ISA-M also provides tools and templates to facilitate the integration process, such as the Integration Assessment Questionnaire, the Integration Architecture Document, and the Integration Test Plan. References = SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition - All Learning Journeys > Implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition > Unit 2: Integration Strategy and Architecture > Topic 2.1: Introduction to Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M)

Side-by-side extensibility is the type of extensibility where the SAP Business Technology Platform is used to host a custom extension and integrate it with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. Side-by-side extensibility enables customers and partners to build extensions that are decoupled from the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, ensuring lifecycle stability and avoiding modification of SAP code. Side-by-side extensibility leverages the capabilities of the SAP Business Technology Platform, such as SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Services, SAP Cloud Platform Business Rules, SAP Cloud Platform Integration, and SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory. References = Utilizing the Clean Core Strategy and Extensibility Tools; Using Side-by-Side Extensibility with SAP Business Technology Platform
