Guided Configuration
What is guided configuration?
Guided configuration is a content lifecycle management tool that helps you configure, test, and
receive support in data migration processes that are needed for your selected best practices.
You have the option to add or update your preferred best practices later. Automated updates
and intuitive configuration changes support initial implementation and help you adopt ongoing
innovation more quickly with minimal disruption while tracking your configuration history. The
result? Your business users can customize preconfigured business processes from charts of
accounts to approval thresholds without IT involvement.
Can we take a deeper dive into the guided configuration of SAP Activate?
As part of SAP Activate, guided configuration tools give you an overview of available best
practices. They can help you perform ongoing content management while adding innovations
to SAP S/4HANA, from initial setup through launch.
You can use self-service configuration to adapt business processes. To create your own
processes or make changes to the content in SAP Best Practices, use the implementation guide
in the guided configuration environment. As your configuration evolves, you can use your
configuration history to help ensure that delta implementation activities dont conflict with
previous configurations. Configuration records also help ensure compatibility with future
innovations in SAP S/4HANA.
