IT Documentation

You can store and maintain your IT documentation in Solution Documentation of SAP Solution Manager.

IT documentation includes the following:

Documentation, for example, process designs, specifications, test cases, configuration or business test requirements
Technical objects, for example, transactions, TBOMs, custom codes, background jobs, system configurations, interfaces
System and software components (SAP and non-SAP), for example, SAP Enterprise Resource Planning, legacy systems.

For all basic documents, you can use predefined templates in SAP Solution Manager.

During a project, you create and assign various types of documents in Solution Documentation:
