Prerequisites

You are in the IMG structure maintenance and have created at least one IMG structure and put it in your Favorites.

Procedure

Display IMG structure

Choose IMG Structure Display or the IMG Structure Display pushbutton.

Only the main node of the structure and the nodes in the first hierarchy level are displayed.
To expand the structure or parts of it:
- Position the cursor on the structure node which you want to expand. Choose Edit Expand All . (This function is not recommended, for performance reasons. It is only partially available in Tree Control).
- You can recognize a node which contains subnodes by a triangle symbol in Tree Control, or a folder symbol in list mode, to the left of the structure title. Expand the subnodes by clicking on the symbol. The symbol changes as soon as the structure is expanded. Clicking on the symbol again collapses the structure again.

IMG activities are assigned to processes in the SAP Reference structure authoring environment. The SAP Reference structure is a hierarchical structure of all elements which are relevant for the creation of your company Business Blueprint. One possible element in the SAP Reference structure is a process. Processes show in detail how system functions are related chronologically and logically to perform a business task. The assignment of IMG activities to processes allows the user to generate the Project IMG later from the Business Blueprint.

Proceed as follows:

To display process assignments, click on the Process Assignments tab.
Mark a process and choose the Display Process symbol below the list.

You go to the SAP Reference structure maintenance transaction where the selected process is displayed as a software module.

Position Cursor

This function displays the hierarchy structure from the cursor position:

Position the cursor on the node title whose hierarchy you want to display.
Choose Edit Position or the Position pushbutton.

The selected node is displayed as the top node on the screen.
