IMG EnhancementLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You want to enhance an IMG structure without changing the original structure. As the enhancement is not made in the original system, the IMG structure in the original system remains unchanged even after an upgrade.

Example

A company has its own implementation guide which it wants to put in the SAP Reference IMG.

An Industry Business Unit (IBU) wants to add its own application areas to the implementation guide.

Note

You can only enhance the structure which you are currently processing with the enhancement transaction. You can go to substructures and modify them.

Prerequisites

You have already created one or more IMG structures.

Activities

  1. Enter the transaction s_img_extension in the command field.

  2. Select the IMG structure you want to enhance, in your favorites.

  3. Choose an existing ID from the enhancement ID possible entries help by positioning the cursor on an ID and choosing Select, or create a new ID with Create Enhancement ID.

  4. Choose Enhance Structure.

    The IMG structure is displayed.

  5. Position the cursor on the node below which you want to enter the structure enhancement.

  6. Enter a new node as deschribed in Create an IMG Structure.

  7. Save the structure with Start of the navigation path Implementation Guide Next navigation step Save End of the navigation path.

Result

The IMG structure is enhanced without modifying the structure in the original system. A new node in the enhanced IMG structure cannot subsequently be distinguished from a node in the original structure.

Note

If the company already has Project IMGs or project views which are used to implement an SAP System or a Release, they must be generated again after enhancing the IMG structure, to bring them up-to-date.

Generate any project IMGs or project views in the project management (SPRO_ADMIN). For more information, see Change Project IMG.
