You use this function to define all business functions that are used for your project or solution. You check whether the assignment of selected business functions and business function sets is consistent, across projects and solutions, according to the logical components and their systems.

You can assign an industry-specific business function set to a system, or select independent business function sets. You can change the business function assignments, to make the scope consistent. See Consistent Business Function Project Scope for more information.

You can assign business functions to project phases via system roles in the logical components for activation later.

Integration

The selection of business functions flagged as In Scope is available, across applications, if you navigate from the Business Functions tab to Business Blueprint, Configuration, or the Business Function Scope View .

The test catalogs for the business functions are available in the test organization of SAP Solution Manager for the selected business functions. For further information, see the Test Cases tab.

Starting from the planned scope of business fucntions, you can determine the required technical usages from the Enhancement Package for a maintenance process in the Maintenance Optimizer.
