5.2 WHAT'S NEW IN SUPPLY CHAIN SETUP MANAGEMENT

This document provides information about what's new in the Supply Chain Setup Management area of SAP Business
ByDesign Feature Pack 3.0.
What is New
Supply Chain Design Master Data
• Addition of Inventory ID in Equipment and Vehicle Resources
A new field, Inventory ID, has been added under the . Individual Materials tab in the Resources view editor
for equipment and vehicle resources. The inventory ID is an alternative identifier for an individual material. It
is typically an external identifier whereas the individual material ID is an internal identifier. This makes it easier
for a customer to enter an inventory ID as opposed to an individual material ID. It is however possible to enter
either of the two IDs and then the other one is automatically populated.

In previous releases it was possible to add an individual material only by entering the individual material's internal
ID. This was cumbersome for customers, now in SAP Business ByDesign Feature Pack 3.0, it is possible to enter
either the individual material ID or the inventory ID.
• Addition of Costing Relevance Indicator in Resource Group
A costing relevance indicator has been added to the Resource Group editor in the Resources view. If the
Relevant for Material Costing check box is marked, it indicates which of the subordinate resources are to be
considered in material costing. The cost rate of a subordinate resource, which is marked as costing relevant, is
used in the determination of the cost of a finished product that uses that specific resource group in the production
model. Only one resource in a resource group can be marked as costing relevant.
For more information, see Quick Guide for Resources (in Supply Chain Design Master Data)
Warehousing and Logistics Master Data
• Setting Release of Outbound Deliveries from the Logistics Model
A new field, Release Outbound Delivery, has been added to the Logistics Model screens in the Logistics
Models view. You can choose from the following two values: Automatically or Manually. You can decide if
the outbound delivery is released automatically upon creation or manually at a later point in time. Upon release
of the outbound delivery, the goods issue is automatically posted.
For more information, see Maintaining Logistics Models in Outbound Delivery Processing.
What Has Changed

Planning and Production Master Data
• Change in Landing Tab of Production Models Editor
The first tab that is opened on the Production Models editor in the Production Models view is the
. BoO Structure tab under the . Bill of Operations tab instead of the . General tab.

In this release, the list of activity categories only contains activities that are relevant for production. For more

The list of fact sheets required for each Supply Chain Design Master Data work center view has been analyzed.
In SAP Business ByDesign Feature Pack 3.0, only those that are required for a specific work center view are now
assigned to that view. According to a user's access rights, a user will only be able to view the factsheets relevant
to the work center views assigned to that user.

9.2 WHAT'S NEW: BUSINESS CONFIGURATION

This document provides information about what's new in Business Configuration in SAP Business ByDesign Feature
Pack 3.0.
What Is New
• Implementation Project Templates
You can use an implementation project template as the basis for the scope of your SAP Business ByDesign
solution. An implementation project template is a solution profile that contains scoping elements to suit specific

requirements and business needs. SAP and its partners create these templates that are usually designed for specific
industries or lines of business. You can procure implementation project templates through the SAP Store and
apply them in the Business Configuration work center as part of your first implementation project. After the
implementation project template is applied, you can further refine your solution before you go live.
For more information, see Implementation Project Template.
• Add-On Solution Search Filter
You can include add-on solutions available from the SAP Store in your search even if you have not procured
them from the SAP Store and they are not yet installed in your SAP Business ByDesign solution. If you select
the Include SAP Store Add-On Solutions not installed checkbox, these will be included in your search
query. If you do not select this checkbox, only the add-on solutions that are already procured and installed as
part of your SAP Business ByDesign solution are included in your search query.
For more information, see the Learn About Specific Configuration Elements task in the Overview Quick
Guide.
• Expand the Complete Hierarchy of Scoping Elements
When you edit your first implementation project or change project, you can expand the complete hierarchy
of scoping elements in the Scoping and Questions steps of the guided activity by clicking Actions and then
selecting Expand All. It is still possible to expand the hierarchy per business area, if preferred.
For more information, see steps 4 and 5 in Prepare the First Implementation Project and Prepare a Change
Project.
• Request Migration Tenant for First Implementation Project
You define the migration settings for tool-supported migration before you migrate your legacy data to your
production system. By requesting a migration test system, you can define these settings in an environment that
does not affect your production system. This is now possible for both first implementation projects and change
projects.
For more information, see Request Migration Test System.
What Has Changed

The following function has changed:
• Your Requirements Tab Removed
The Your Requirements tab has been removed from the scoping guided activity. You can still enter requirements

What's New: Mobile Applications
10 WHAT'S NEW: MOBILE APPLICATIONS
This document provides information about what’s new in mobile applications in SAP Business ByDesign Feature
Pack 3.0.
What Is New
• Project Time Recording for Mobile Applications
A new set of views for consumption on a mobile device enable users who are working on their mobile device
using a supported SAP Business ByDesign mobile application to create time recordings of projects' tasks. Project
team members can record their time in the context of tasks, services, and purchase orders.
• Quality Inspection for Mobile Applications
A new set of views for consumption on a mobile device enable users who are working on their mobile device
using a supported SAP Business ByDesign mobile application to choose a quality inspection document and
process it (for example, add and update defects, record a quality decision, and upload pictures of defects).
To see if this functionality is supported on your SAP Business ByDesign mobile application, refer to the
mobile application's documentation.
What Has Changed

• Accounts for Mobile Applications
The Accounts functionality for users who are working on their mobile device using a supported SAP Business
ByDesign mobile application has been enhanced so that users can create new private and corporate accounts
from the mobile application. In addition, an Ignore Duplicates action was added to the Private Account and
Corporate Account quick activities. This action allows users to ignore a duplicate entry if one exists (for
example, if accounts have a similar name or the same name).
• Access Rights for Mobile Applications
The process for managing access rights to mobile content has changed for all mobile applications other than
the SAP Business ByDesign Warehouse Application for Mobile Devices. Many of the permissions previously set
by a key user are now automatically applied for mobile applications. The process is as follows: Some work center
views in Business ByDesign have corresponding views for use on mobile devices through dedicated mobile
applications. If you assign such a view to a user, you now also automatically assign the corresponding mobile
view to the user. The view authorization is required to enable the corresponding mobile functionality, as sup-
ported by the SAP Business ByDesign mobile application. For more information, see User and Access Manage-
ment and the documentation of the SAP Business ByDesign mobile applications.
