Customizing 

Purpose

Customizing enables you to adapt the enterprise-neutral and industry-specific functions, delivered as standard, to the specific business requirements of your enterprise.

It supports you whenever you:

·        Implement the SAP System

·        Enhance the SAP System

·        Upgrade to a new release or system.

Integration

Customizing controls the behavior of SAP applications. You can only work with many SAP applications after you have made the appropriate Customizing settings – for example, after specifying in Customizing which currencies and purchasing groups are used in your enterprise. 

To transport your Customizing settings to other systems, such as your test system, you need to use the transport system.

Features

·        Customizing System Settings and the associated documentation ( Logging Customizing Objects).

·        Recommendations for system settings

·        Customizing projects as instruments of control for managing, editing, and evaluating implementation or enhancement projects

·        Support for transferring system settings from the test system to the production system

·        Support for transferring system settings between different systems using Business Configuration Sets – for example, as part of an enterprise-wide rollout

·        The Customizing Cross-System Viewer

·        Tools for system upgrades and release upgrades

Constraints

Customizing does not enable you to modify SAP standard functions.
