Blueprint
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.
Although each SAP implementation project has its own unique objectives, scope and priorities, the
steps in Phase 1 help identify and plan the primary focus areas to be considered. As you prepare for
your SAP implementation, there are important issues you must address at the beginning of the
project, including:
Defining your project goals and objectives
Clarifying the scope of your implementation
Defining your implementation strategy
Defining the overall project schedule and implementation sequence
Establishing the project organization and committees
Assigning resources.
By addressing these issues early in your implementation, you help ensure that the project proceeds
efficiently, and that you have established a solid foundation for a successful SAP implementation.

The purpose of this work package is to establish the principal elements that determine how the SAP
implementation project is to be accomplished. These activities set the groundwork for project
kickoff, and provide a baseline of information to be referenced throughout the implementation. For
all project team members to operate in an effective manner, it is necessary that project standards and
procedures are established at the beginning of the project, and then communicated to all team
members.
In case of a local rollout project, reference should be made to the global implementation program.
By setting the standards, you:
Avoid redundant and unnecessary work
Maintain consistency
Facilitate communication

A three-system infrastructure is the ideal solution for most customers:
It affords you unlimited testing of your development.
You can implement system upgrades without disturbing your live system.
With a separate quality assurance system, you can integrate developments and run consistencychecks on objects for a transport before they are introduced to the production system.
This three-system solution supports the R/3 System Landscape (System and Client Deployment
Strategy)which has the following aims:
Development, quality assurance and production should take place in separate environments.
In the event of data loss, you should be able to restore a client with consistent data.
Transport systems for setting up and maintaining the system infrasturcture are predefined.
The infrastructure supports the import of business data from an existing system.

Preparation
The purpose of this activity is to create a training plan for the project team involved in the SAP
implementation. While training costs can be viewed as relatively expensive, it is critically important
that the project team be given this training. Once initial training is completed, the project team has a
much better understanding of basic SAP functions, how configuration works, and how to maximize
SAPs impact to meet your business requirements. This initial training does not cover user training
it will be addressed later in the implementation.
Key factors during this activity include:
Background of each team member
Specific area of business involvement of team member (application or technical)
Timing of team member participation during the implementation.
This key factor information can be used to determine the appropriate classes for each team member,
thereby avoiding redundancy, or time spent in classes that are not applicable, and to make sure the
course material is timed accordingly. When developing this plan, decide which courses are to be
conducted at an SAP training center, or at the company site. The project team training plan is
regularly updated throughout the life of the implementation.

The objective of this work package is to identify the technical requirements needed to implement the
SAP technical environment, clarify the customers expectations, review hardware sizing, and procure
the required hardware.
During the planning, keep in mind that all required SAP systems are unlikely to be procured and
installed at the same time. The development system is the initial system and is needed at the start of
an SAP implementation project. Early on, this may be the only SAP system in the system landscape.
Other required SAP systems, such as the quality assurance and production systems, are not needed
until a later phase; therefore, part of the planning includes taking expected delivery lead-times into
consideration so that subsequent systems and hardware can be ordered in time.

Procure Hardware: The purpose of this activity is to procure the hardware needed for the SAP
environment and place the hardware order with the appropriate vendor(s). Carefully plan the
procurement of the subsequent systems (quality assurance and production systems, additional
application servers, storage devices, etc.) to avoid unexpected lead times that could impact the SAP
implementation schedule. Hardware procurement lead-times can vary from days, weeks, to even
months.

The purpose of this work package is to formally announce the initiation of the SAP project to the
whole organization. This kickoff meeting should include the presentation of the overall goals,
detailed task plans, and processes. Consultants, steering committee, senior management, project
managers from the company, SAP and any other implementation partners must be involved. The
kickoff meeting is focused on the organization as a whole, while the project team standards meeting
is focused on the project team.
It is important that as part of the Change Management the kickoff meeting is followed by regular
communication to the rest of the organization about the progress, achievements, etc.
In case of a local rollout project as part of a global program, reference should be made to the global
implementation program; the global rollout manager and the global rollout core team must be
involved as well.

Perform Internal Quality Check: The purpose of this activity is to collect all deliverables and to
review them together for completeness and accuracy. Quality checks are performed as specific tasks
are completed. However, it is also critical to review deliverables in total because individual results
from one task can have an adverse impact on another area of the project.
Project Preparation Review: The purpose of this activity is to recognize potential project risk areas
during the Project Review at an early stage. This reduces the possibility of an extended project
timeline. It leads to a faster implementation and increases the customers level of confidence.
Obtain Approval: The purpose of this activity is to obtain the approval from the customer. Upon
completion of this activity, signoff is obtained and the project proceeds to the next phase.

Project Management
The purpose of this work package is to establish a proper cycle of project management activities,
which ensure that the implementation project is on target. It determines all project planning,
controlling and updating activities. It also identifies where changes in the relationship between
business processes and the organizational structure need to be managed, in consultation with
departmental management. The same work package is also in the subsequent phases.

general business strategy and the implementation.
The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) substructure is designed to assist you measure, analyze and
improve the value added process and business performance in your enterprise.
The mySAP.com substructure is there to assist you analyze and document how you might implement
the SAP Internet solution in your enterprise.
The Organization substructure contains items that describe the R/3 system organization structure.
This is the framework in which the R/3 System is configured.
The General Settings section contains elements of the R/3 Implementation Guide (IMG). This is of
overall importance for Business Blueprint phase to set up the R/3 system properly.
The Master Data section contains items that describe the master data structure that controls the
behavior and implementation of an R/3 System.
The Business Processes area of the Q&Adb contains the process structure items as represented in theSAP Reference Structure.
The Cross-application section refers to all data objects (tables, entities or processes) that relate to
more than one business application.
The Training and Documentation section collects information about the planned training and
documentation standards in an SAP product implementation.
The User Role node provides all the SAP user roles (based on Release 4.6B of the R/3 System). The
project team can use these roles to analyze the project-specific requirements for user profiles.
The content of the Development area is created automatically by the application. It is designed to
hold all functional specification documentation data that you entered in the Associated Items box
The Documents substructure of the Q&Adb allows you to store and manage all documents related to
the entire life cycle of your SAP System. For example the Business Blueprint document and draftsthereof would be stored here.

The Question(s) enable you to gather requirements on specific business scenarios and their
processes. A question may appear within several structures. The answer to a question on a specific
occurrence within any structure is visible on all other occurrences using that question. While answers
given to a question are visible at all occurrences, questions can only be answered and answers can
only be changed at the current structure level. These questions are open-ended and promote the flow
of information between you and the consultants who will configure your system. Using your answers
as a guide, consultants define your companys requirements in detail and adapt process models to
reflect your companys needs.
The User Roles enable consultants in the Blueprint phase to identify, adapt and describe SAP-
delivered user roles based on project-specific requirements.
The CI template sections form the heart of the Business Blueprint document. It is important to
provide as much information as possible when entering your answers in these sections. In some cases
the information may not be known at the Blueprint stage, if this occurs, it should be noted in the CI
template answers. For example, when you enter the Authorization Considerations question during
the Business Blueprint phase only high level information is available. As this changes, the Q&Adb
should be updated with detailed authorization requirements.
During the initial Q&Adb setup, you specified the path to SAP and IDES documentation. This
documentation is available for view only and cannot be changed. If an SAP or IDES document is
available for a selected function, the name of the document displays in the Associated Items box.
Click the document to view it.
You may add, view, or delete documentation to the Project Documentation folder in the AssociatedItems box. It is recommended that all documents are put into the Project Documentation directory so
that they can then be found in the Q&Adb directory.

You can map SAP Reference Structures of various mySAP.com components in a Q&Adb. This
enables you to create a Business Blueprint for a mySAP.com solution that consists of more than one
mySAP.com component.
Compose Project Structure: The project manager can group together SAP ReferenceStructures of various variants, such as R/3, APO, and BW. This enables the project team to
process the entire implementation scope in one Q&Adb.
Before the project reference structure is created, the SAP Reference Structure on the left of theQ&Adb screen area only contains structure items from level 1; in other words, the structure still
has to be "filled." The project manager and business process team can define the project scope
underAdministration -> Compose project structure.The Create Project Reference Structure
dialog box displays the SAP Reference Structures of all variants installed as indicated on the
right under SAP Product Reference Structure.
The structure items selected as in scope can then be transferred from the SAP ProductReference Structure to the SAP Project Reference Structure (from right to left) and processed in
the Q&Adb.

The Organization structure level contains items that describe the system organization structure in
which framework the SAP system is configured. In the Q&Adb, questionnaires facilitate gathering
requirements on the companys structure and processes that allow an initial mapping of the
companys business to a proposed SAP organizational structure. The answers to the questions form
part of the Business Blueprint.
The second level contains the available enterprise areas (e.g. Sales and Distribution). It is not
recommended that you change or enhance this level of the organization structure.
A third level further defines the organization (e.g. Sales area data).

The purpose of this work package is to determine the company requirements based on SAP business
processes, to provide the required functions. The business process definitions create your Business
Blueprint.
In the case of a local rollout (an implementation project itself part of an overall, global
implementation comprising a number of implementation projects), most of the company
requirements should already have been determined at the global, program level and mapped to the
corresponding SAP settings.
Note that you must have defined your organizational structure before proceeding to businessprocesses.
In case of a local rollout, the Global Solution Package must have been delivered. This is the
definition of the core requirement common across all implementations in a companys multi site
and/or multi national implementation of SAP product.

After the definition of the organizational structure, you define the business processes of the company
in terms of the R/3 System.
The Q&Adb is the tool supporting the definition of the business processes. You can use the CI
(Customer Input) template and the business process questions within the Q&Adb to support the
preparation and completion of the business process definition. For detailed analysis, you can access
external tools for modeling the business processes via the Q&Adb.
Generating the Business Blueprint gives you the companys business process requirements in one
document.
Generating the Business Process Master List gives you the business processes which are in scope for
Customizing in the Realization Phase.

settings are required to set default parameters in the SAP System
In the Master Data substructure, you can see the structure of master data in the SAP System. It is
organized according to enterprise area. General master records, for example,Material Master, Work
Center, Customer/Vendor Master Record are located below the enterprise-specific master data items
in the tree structure.

The purpose of this activity is to conduct the business workshops to determine and complete all
requirements including:
Business process

Interfaces
Conversions
Enhancements
Authorizations
The business process workshops are a crucial part, as all the results gathered during the workshops
subsequently create the Business Blueprint. It is necessary to use the questions not yet answered in
the Q&Adb to determine business requirements, and to complete a Customer Input (CI) template for
each business process.
In case of a local rollout, the general company requirements regarding standardization aims have
usually been completed during template development. Nonetheless they should be kept in mind and
local detailed requirements coming up during this task should be fed back to the core team,
especially if deficient areas are detected.

You can use external modeling tools to compare enterprise process areas, scenarios, and processes
with the SAP Reference Structure.
In addition to installing the modeling tool you wish to use, you also need to choose the relevant
modeling tool in the field Business Modeler in User Maintenance in the ASAP Administration
Tool.
The comparison with the SAP Reference Structure clarifies to what extent your own business
processes can be covered by the R/3 business processes.
The business fit can be high, medium, or low. The measures that need to be taken to achieve this
depend on the analysis:
High, through Customizing
Medium, through enhancement
Low, own transactions.
If an enhancement is necessary, it can be documented in the structure of the Q&Adb on each level by
adding customer-defined objects.
Copying of objects is supported on every level.

The description of the business processes is completed by including the related Business process
transactions in the scope of the implementation project. The number of transactions related to the
business process will be displayed on the business process transaction matrix when you choose
Business process transactions.
The business process transaction matrix shows:
Code:Name of the business process transaction
Transaction:Long text of the business process transaction
DOC:Link to R/3 Documentation
SC (Scope):shows that the business process transaction is in scope
BL (Baseline):Indicates the business process transaction within the Baseline scope (the basic scope
of transactions that will be implementedC1-C4:describe proposed cycles for configuration tests.
The business process transaction matrix contains the default values for the business process
suggested by SAP. You should not make changes in the business process transaction matrix, but in
the Business Process Master List, an MS-Excel file that is based on the business process transaction
matrix in the Q&Adb. You should only make changes with the support of consultants.
From the matrix, it is possible to call up the corresponding transaction in the R/3 System, providing
that the relevant settings in the Admin tool user profile have been maintained and the R/3 System is
available.

Once each process team has collected information about the different roles during business process
workshops, the Organizational Change Management (OCM) team is reponsible for bringing together
the various design documents and creating a master set of roles (see: Business Blueprint,
Organizational Change Management Blueprint, Implement Business Optimization Process, Create
Role Report). The objective of this step is to develop a set of roles small enough to allow flexibility
in organizational design yet large enough to enable some degree of standardization throughout the
company.
Once the roles are confirmed, business process teams assign the roles to the transactions (manual and
SAP).
The best way to do this is to use the Q&Adb, if one is available and used. Finally a report needs to be
generated listing all business processes, transactions and roles. The report should then be distributed
to all teams for confirmation. Once the report has been confirmed, no changes should be undertaken
without formal change control.
The User Roles substructure is made up of user roles that have been defined by SAP. The project
team can use this substructure to determine the user profiles they require for their specific project. It
is possible to define, copy and rename user roles. You can also display the functions assigned by
SAP to user roles for each structure item.
