Quick Start Guides

Here is an attempt to showcase functional information about select features through the quick start guide. This guide will give you an overview of a few features and lists key configuration activities that should be performed to help you set up a feature. It does not detail out information on how to set up integration, as it is already covered in the integration guides on SAP Service Marketplace.

For example, you are an existing integration customer, and would like to know how to set up account 360 integration. The Account 360 chapter in the quick start guide will give you a business overview of account 360, and highlights key configuration activities to be performed in C4C, ERP and the middleware.

You can access the quick start guides on SAP Service Marketplace. Look for Integration: Quick Start Guide.

This is a pilot effort on select features, and your feedback is most welcome. Feel free to write back if you face issues, so these can be captured in the next version of the guide. Also, if you prefer to read such documents on other features, send us your request by adding a comment in this blog.
