Customizing

The following activities are in Customizing under Logistics General -> Central Functions -> Collaboration:

Customizing Activity	Use
Define CEP Profile	obligatory
Define Life-Cycle Profile	optional
Define Field Selection	optional
Define Workflow	obligatory
Administration of CEP Documents	obligatory
Enhancements for Collaboration	obligatory

For detailed information, refer to the Implementation Guide.

The following settings must also be made in Customizing:

·        In Cross-Application Components -> Document Management -> Control Data -> Define Document Types, you must define a document type for CEP, such as B2X: On the detail screen, the following parameters are relevant:

-          The Status Switch indicator must not be set.

-          Internal number assignment must be activated.

·        In Cross-Application Components -> Document Management -> General Data -> Define Workstation Application, you must define XML and TXT as applications.

Logon/Authorization for External Participants

·        All external participants must be defined in the SAP system as users. You must inform external participants of their user names and initial passwords before the start of the CEP process.

·        A valid e-mail address must be defined for every external participant in their user master.

·        Every external participant must be assigned the role SAP_CA_PLM_BUSINESS_PARTNER in role maintenance.

If you enter * for all values of the authorization objects, the participants are given all the authorizations that are assigned to this role.  

If you want to limit the authorizations of a participant to those that are really necessary for the CEP process, enter the following values for the individual authorization objects for the transaction code CEP_IAC_PO:

Authorization Object	Field	Values
C_DRAW_TCD Authorization for activities for documents	Activity	01, 02 ,03 , 06, 17, 49, 59
	Document type	(Document type for published folder)
C_DRAW_DOK Authorization for document access	Activity	52, 53
	Document type	(Document type for published folder)
C_LO_CM Authorization object for configuration management	Activity	01, 02, 03, DL
	Authorization management/object for activity	CD, CM, NF
I_TCODE Check transaction code at transaction start	Transaction code	CEP_IAC_PO, CV01N, CV02N, CV03N (CVSE_SEARCH, QISR)
S_OC_SEND	COM_MODE	INT, OFF, RML
	Number	*

The assigned values are only valid for transaction code CEP_IAC_PO and role SAP_CA_PLM_BUSINESS_PARTNER. For the use of other transactions more values must be added.

Workflow

If you are creating several internal distribution workflows, you must assign them to BUSTYP 3052004.
