1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up the
configuration within the system landscape that has already been installed using the corresponding installation
or configuration guides for installation.

If you want to install SAP S/4HANA locally (on-premise) and if you do not want to configure manually and
prefer an automated installation process, use BC Sets delivered.

2 Preparation

2.1 Prerequisites

Before you start installing this scenario,

• BD9_US – Sell From Stock needs to be configured. For more information about the prerequisite building
blocks for this scenario, see Prerequisites Matrix and Software and delivery requirements on the SAP Best
Practices Explorer pages: SAP S/4HANA On-Premise SAP Best Practices for SAP S/4HANA (on
premise) Accelerators

For automated installation process using BC Sets and other tools, you can set up a best-practice client and
activate the implementation content. For more information, see the Administration Guide for the
Implementation of SAP S/4HANA, on premise edition which is linked in the content library (included in the
documentation package).

• Basic configurations need to be done following the guide Transportation Management in SAP S/4HANA:
General Configuration Guide.

2.2 Supported Deployments

The configuration guide provides the implementation content for SAP S/4HANA – (OP) installed locally (on-
premise), full scope and content coverage.

Depending on the use case/deployment option/ S/4HANA product version, you need to implement the
required scope/content starting with the Public cloud chapter and proceed with the next required sections.

• For the full scope of the on premise scope & content – PC and OP are required

3. Save your entries.

3.3 Activating Transfer of Deliveries

Activate the transfer of delivery documents to SAP Transportation Management (TM) by assigning a control
key to the relevant delivery types. The control key is a fixed parameter (TM_CONTROL_KEY) that you cannot
subsequently change in the delivery document.

Context

You can also activate transfer of delivery using the control key assigned to the preceding document in the
document chain (for example, a sales order or a purchase order). In this case, the delivery inherits the control
key from the preceding document and the system ignores any settings that you make in this Customizing
activity.
