Creating Work Packages for Requirements

Solution architects create work packages to manage and document the implementation of requirements.

Prerequisites

  • The requirements have been validated and documented. Substantial functional gaps have been handed over to SAP development so that the remaining requirements constitute the scope of your Focused Build project.

  • The requirements have the status Approved.

Context

When the requirements have been specified and approved, you create work packages for the requirements. The work packages are used to manage and document the implementation of the requirements. To create the work packages, use the Requirements Management app.

Procedure

  1. Start the Requirements Management app on the SAP Solution Manager launchpad.
  2. In the Requirements Management app, search for unassigned requirements that have the status Approved or higher. Use additional filters to find relevant requirements.
  3. In the results table, select a requirement.
  4. In the tool bar, choose Work Package. Then choose Create New Work Package. You can also create a work package by opening the requirement and choose Create New Work Package ( ) from the toolbar. The requirement needs to be in status Approved or In Realization.
  5. Enter the header data for the work package. Select the work package type (regular work package, maintenance work package, or scope change), enter a description, and select a work package owner.
  6. Choose Create to create the work package.

    The work package has the status Created and can be processed in the My Work Packages application.

    You can alsonavigate directly to the newly created work package using the link shown in the popup window.

    Information from the requirement, such as the assigned process steps in the Solution Documentation and files that are attached to the requirement are automatically copied to the work package.
