If you activate industry solutions with Business Function Sets, the system automatically activates the Switch BC Sets which contain the customizing settings for the assigned Business Functions in the background. This process activates the customizing settings required for the industry solution in your system. You can also activate Switch BC Sets manually.
The activation of Switch BC Sets depends on the delivery class attributes of the customizing objects which they contain. These attributes may be:
Client attributes: Client-specific or cross-client customizing
Cascading attributes: Into which clients are these customizing objects imported? For example only in client 000 for delivery class C.
Switch BC Sets may contain:
Cross-client customizing
Client-specific customizing and Switch BC Set contents must be cascaded
Client-specific customizing and Switch BC Set contents must not be cascaded; i.e. the contents are only imported into client 000
Switch BC Set with "Special Customizing":
If you do want to import customizing objects of the last type (Client-specific customizing and Switch BC Set contents must not be cascaded), into other clients than 000, activate these Switch BC Sets manually, with the program SCPR_SPECIAL_ACTIVATION_SFW. These Switch BC Sets are called Switch BC Sets with Special Customizing.
Automatic Activation of Switch BC Sets
The system activates Switch BC Sets automatically at the following events:
when switching on Business Functions

Manual activation of Switch BC Sets
