Install Your SAP Applications

Your Technical Team and Prerequisites

You have chosen an SAP Best Practices solution. You know whether you want manual or automated configuration.

Now your technical team gets involved. They must ensure that the technical prerequisites for installation are met, at both release and support level. These prerequisites are described in the Quick Guide. All SAP Best Practices deliveries are tested at specific release levels of the application. The prerequisites outlined in the Quick Guide enable you to import the technical content into the system once your SAP applications are installed. This guarantees a smooth activation process.

SAP Support Release

SAP Best Practices is developed and tested on a specific Support Package Stack (SPS). This is documented in the corresponding Quick Guide.

SAP Software is released in Support Releases (SR). For more information about which SR is needed to meet recommended SP levels, see the Support Release details for:

• ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning
• CRM - Customer Relationship Management
• SAP NetWeaver
• SAP APO/SCM - Supply Chain Management
• SRM Server - Supplier Relationship Management

How to Get Previous Support Releases

Only the current Support Release is delivered to SAP partners and customers in standard delivery. If SAP Best Practices is based on Support Package levels lower than the current Support Release, you have to create a customer message. For more information, see SAP Note 925690.
