This document captures in detail the steps required to configure the SAP system to meet the business
requirements as envisaged in the RVSG Process Definition Documents of Business Blueprint phase. The
configuration steps have mappings to the corresponding menu path where the configuration has been done
in the IMG (Implementation Guide). The descriptive procedure along with rationale of all configurations is
also provided.
The documentation provides visibility to all project teams members on the proposed system settings and
changes. This is very important due to the highly integrated nature of SAP. All future changes or updates to
the system should be done based on this document and the documentation updated accordingly.
This customisation manual outlines the way, how the Financial Accounting Module has been configured for
RVSG as per the requirement of their business scenarios and should be seen in conjunction with the KDS
document.
This document explains the settings done i.e. Configurations done for the present implementation only and
not all the nodes available.
