Set up the internal PPO software component AP-MD (Application Platform master data). To do so, in SAP Customizing, choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Display System Settings for the Postprocessing Office and select Software Components. The PPO needs this internal component in order to be able to differentiate postprocessing orders that were created by master data synchronization from postprocessing orders of other projects. In addition, all PPO Customizing settings are component-specific. Make the following entries:

*) 0 = Orders that I have to process

1 = Orders in my worklist

2 = All orders

For the software component AP-MD, define the PPO business processes that you want to use for the initial load. To do so, in SAP Customizing choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Display System Settings for the Postprocessing Office and select Business Processes. Each combination of a source and target object must be defined as a business process as follows:

Activate the PPO business processes for the component AP-MD. To do so, in SAP Customizing choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Business Processes Activate Creation of Postprocessing Orders . Enter only the business processes you need for your application. Activate each combination of source and target object that you have defined as a business process.

Set up a PPO object type for all object types of the master data synchronization for the component AP-MD as shown in the table. To do so, in SAP Customizing choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Display System Settings for the Postprocessing Office and select Object Types. If a corresponding BOR object already exists, then use the technical key of the BOR object.

The entry in the Internal –> External column shows the name of the function module that converts the internal representation of an object key (such as a GUID) into an external representation for display on the PPO screen.

On the selection screen of the PPO transaction Display Postprocessing Order, you can select postprocessing orders using the IDs of the objects contained in the orders. If you want to support users with a search help, you can program a function module for this. You then enter the technical name of this function module in the Input column.

As shown in the table, define which object types are allowed for which PPO business process. To do so, in SAP Customizing choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Display System Settings for the Postprocessing Office and select Valid Object Types. For the initial load, define the source object type as a main object and the target object as a basis object.

*) Object Role:

1 = Main object

2 = Basis object

3 = Environment object

4 = Additional environment object

As shown in the following table, define which processing methods you want to be available for each object type. To do so, in SAP Customizing choose  Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Postprocessing Office Display System Settings for the Postprocessing Office and select Methods. These processing methods can either be a method of the related BOR object or a function module you program yourself. If you use your own function module, enter the technical name of the function module.

*) Object category 1 = Business Object

Define the layout for postprocessing orders.
