   • /IWCNT/SG_LEAVE_MANAGEMENT for Leave Management

8. One service group (that is, one set of Web service consumer proxies) may point to many Provider systems. Perform the following steps for each provider system.

   1. Add the service group.

   2. Choose Assign Business Application. Select the Business scenario that was created when creating the provider system.
