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 Service Release

The SAP Best Practices are developed and tested on a specific Service Package Stack (SPS). This is documented in the related Quick Guide.

SAP Software will be released as so called Service Releases (SR). To figure out which SR do you need to install to meet the recommended SP levels (refer to the Quick Guide), please check the Service Release details for

  • ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning
  • Netweaver
  • BI - Business Intelligence
  • POS - Point of Sale

Only the current Support Release is delivered to SAP partners and customers in the standard delivery. If SAP Best Practices is based on Support Package levelsl lower than the current Support Release, you must create a customer message. For details, see SAP note 925690.
