What´s new in Configure Your Solution

8CUSTOMER© 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ
• Configure Your Solution is available in the Q-
System during scoping, activation of when
there is no project.
• All SSCUIs are made display only during this
time.
• User is alerted by a new banner message in
Configure Your Solution.
• A pop-up message is also displayed in Web
GUI SSCUIs.
• Filter settings can be saved as user-specific or public “views”.
• The example above shows the creation of a view to show only Finance configuration.
• Each view is given a name.
• A user can choose a default view which appears whenever they login.
• A default view can be used to overcome the limitation that the current filter is forgotten every time an SSCUI is used.
• About 90 Web GUI SSCUIs will be enabled with a
feature to delete unwanted customer config records.
• The SSCUIs that have deletion enabled will be
identified in SAP Activate.
• Depending on the SSCUI, some deletions will not be
allowed in order to prevent damage in the Production
System.
• If the record was transported to the Production System,
the record will be deleted when a new transport is
done.
• Deletion of records delivered by SAP is not possible.
• In Fiori SSCUIs (e.g. the main Organization Structure
app) deletion is not possible in 1902.
