Adding Structure Items 

Use

You can extend the SAP Reference Structure by adding your own structure items. You can add these new structure items at enterprise area level, scenario level, or process group level and insert copied structure items below them. This means you can organize your own substructures to reflect your enterprise’s structure and business processes. The new structure items enable you to document project-specific requirements that are not represented by SAP structure items.

Procedure

To add your own structure item:

  1. Select the structure item under which you want to add the new structure item.
  2. Select .
  3. A dialog box appears. Enter a name for the new structure item.
  4. Select Details.
  5. Decide which associated items (questions, CI template, BP transactions, project documentation, technical information) you want to assign to the new structure item.
  6. Select OK.
    The new structure item appears at the end of the substructure. To change the position of the new structure item within a substructure, you can     change the order of structure items.

When you add a new enterpise area at level in the Business Processes substructure, you have to decide, whether you want this enterprise area to be added to the other substructures that are structured according to enterprise areas (Organization, Master Data, Development).

Result

You have added a new structure item, to which you can assign associated items. New structure items are automatically set in scope, when you set the Added structure items indicator under Settings ® Automatically set in scope in the Administration menu. It is possible to delete user-defined structure items (unlike SAP structure items).
