Creating IT Requirements

IT requirements are usually created on the basis of a business requirement but as an IT requirements manager, you can also create them directly in the WebClient UI if necessary.

Prerequisites

You have the business role SOLMANPRO (also see Authorizations).
Optional: If you want to create IT requirements from a template, you have created the necessary template.

Procedure

Open the Requirements Management view and choose the link to create an IT requirement.
Select the transaction type for IT requirements.
In the Details assignment block, complete the mandatory fields or choose the relevant option:
- Description
  Enter a descriptive name for your business requirement.
- Sold-To Party
  Enter the business partner ID of the person who requested the change.
- Solution Architect
  Enter the business partner ID of the person who is to work on the IT requirement (for example, by evaluating the requirement and creating a high-level design).
- Requirement Manager
  Enter the business partner ID of the person who distributes the IT requirements to the solution architect.
- Priority
  If you are creating the IT requirement directly, enter the priority of the requirement. If the IT requirement is created on the basis of a business requirement, the priority is inherited from the business requirement.
Choose Actions Submit for Validation and save.
The IT requirement is set to Submitted for Validation.

Result

You have created an IT requirement, which must now be validated by either yourself or the solution architect.
