With the latest release of SAP Central Business Configuration, exciting new features are available. This blog post will provide you with a comprehensive overview of these new features, with insights into how they can help to streamline your day-to-day operations.
Revamped Overall User Experience
A host of this release’s user experience (UX) enhancements have been made in Project Experience. First of all, we’ve introduced a new UX design, providing you with an overview page that delivers relevant information at a glance and allowing you to quickly switch between activities with just a click. If switching between activities requires to initiate change, the Initiate Change dialog box will automatically appear. To ensure a smooth transition to this new design, we’ve created a quick tour for you, which will pop up upon first log on. To learn more in detail about these enhancements, do check out this blog, as well as this PDF for SAP customers and partners that provides a detailed comparison of the old user interface with the new one. Also, you might have noticed that the Quartz themes have been retired, with the Morning and Evening Horizon themes taking their place.
Moreover, we’ve simplified the Initiate Change dialog box. Now, there’s no need to specify whether project activities should be reopened when initiating a change – this will happen automatically. For example, if you decide to extend your scope, the Define Scope and Set Up Organizational Structure activities, along with the respective milestones, will reopen automatically. The option to revert the status of configuration activities back to Open when initiating a change remains available.
Additionally, we’ve introduced improvements to the Deployment Target app. We’ve placed the Remove Assignment button more prominently for better user experience and enhanced the way the solution name is specified for better clarity.
Effortlessly Document Scope and Business Configuration Adaptations
We’re delighted to announce that you can now download both your scope and your business configuration adaptations. Starting with the former, you can download all selected scenarios in the Define Scope app under My Selected Scope as a PDF file, perfect for offline access or sharing.
Additionally, you can download your business configuration adaptations as a ZIP file from the Overview screen. This file will contain a spreadsheet for each configuration activity that has been changed, along with a summary spreadsheet. To use this feature, you need the new Content Processor role assigned to you. This new feature aims to help you document your configuration changes for future reference and pave the way for future capabilities.
Navigate Configuration Activities With Greater Ease
We’ve also improved the user experience for configuration activities. Now, you have the option to expand or collapse all elements of a given node in the hierarchy at once. Just right-click a business area and choose to expand all elements. Moreover, if you’re searching for a configuration activity, all nodes of the hierarchy will automatically expand, enabling you to reach your search results faster and with fewer clicks. This enhancement aims to provide you with increased time to value and greater ease of use.
