  1. In the SAP Solution Manager Administration work center, choose Start of the navigation path Project Next navigation step New. End of the navigation path

  2. Enter a project ID and title.

    The ID must contain a combination of letters and numbers up to 10 characters in length.

    See Project Types for an overview of the different project types and their use.

    Note Note

    You cannot change the project type later in the same project. To change the project type, for example, if you have created an implementation project and then decide that you want to create templates with it, copy the project and change the project type of the new project. For more information, see Copy Projects.

    End of the note.

  4. You can assign a solution landscape to the project.

    If you create your project structure in the Business Blueprint phase, you can subsequently put structure elements from the selected solution landscape in it.

  5. Choose Continue.

    You go to the Maintain Project screen.

  6. Enter a meaningful project name and language.

  7. Save the header data for your project.

  8. Enter a name for the enhancement context in which the project documents are to be saved in the SAP Knowledge Warehouse in the next dialog box.

  9. Choose Continue.

  10. In the case of a template project, enter a package in which the project structure is to be saved in the dialog box that appears.

    Note Note

    The system copies the package specified here into the Transport Requests tab and uses it by default for subsequent changes to the scope or the project structure in the Business Blueprint. If you want to prevent this package being used later by default, delete it from the Transport Requests tab.

    End of the note.
