1.1 About this Document

Purpose
This Master Guide is the central starting point for the technical implementation of Business
Process Blueprinting. You can find cross-scenario implementation information as well as
scenario-specific information in this guide.

Use the Master Guide to get an overview of Business Process Blueprinting, its software units,
and its scenarios from a technical perspective. The Master Guide is a planning tool that helps
you to design your system landscape. It refers you to the required detailed documentation,
mainly:
 Installation guides for single software units
 SAP Notes
 Configuration documentation
 SAP Library documentation
For a general overview of the available SAP documentation, see The Main SAP
Documentation Types.

You can find the most current information about the technical implementation
of Business Process Blueprinting and the latest administrator and solution
operation guides on SAP Service Marketplace at
http://service.sap.com/instguides SAP Components
Business Process Blueprinting Release 1.0
We strongly recommend that you use the documents available here. The
guides are regularly updated.

Constraints
 The business scenarios that are presented here serve as examples of how you can use
SAP software in your company. The business scenarios are only intended as models and
do not necessarily run the way they are described here in your customer-specific system
landscape. Ensure to check your requirements and systems to determine whether these
scenarios can be used productively at your site. Furthermore, we recommend that you
test these scenarios thoroughly in your test systems to ensure they are complete and free
of errors before going live.
 This Master Guide primarily discusses the overall technical implementation of Business
process Blueprinting, rather than its subordinate components. This means that additional
software dependencies might exist without being mentioned explicitly in this document.
You can find more information on component-specific software dependencies in the
corresponding installation guides.
