Role of SAP PCA

[noah_l]

Hello All,

after my notice that PCAs will not be responsible for the TVRF and COF, effetive after 1.1.25 i would like to know the future role and process of PCA, which is not clear to me yet and i did not see any explained documentation.

- For consideration> PCA do not need to fill out TVRF and COF anymore, but will do the technical assesment?

-How do the PCA provide SAP the sizing of the systems and BOM verification if this is not done by the TVRF and COF anymore?
