A23 Vehicle Management System: Configuration Guide

1 PurposeThe purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required, to manually set up the configuration within the system landscape that has already been installed using the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.

The Configuration Guide describes how to set up the configuration of a Building Block manually, without the support of automated configuration tools. If you want to use BC Sets and CATT procedures for an automated installation process, refer to the Building Block Installation Guide of the scenario A23 – Vehicle Management System.

2 Preparation

2.1 PrerequisitesThe following building blocks form the basis for all mySAP All-in-One Automotive, High Tech and Industrial Machinery and Components solutions. You only have to install these building blocks once.

Install these building blocks in the Supplier client.
