SAP Exam C_SRM_72 Topic 1 Question 74 Discussion

SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) provides a two-step activation process for the implementation of new functions and the enhancement of existing functions.

This approach uses business functions and Customizing switches. You use business functions to display Customizing activities and Customizing switches.

Once the Customizing switches are visible, you use them to activate new fields or execute new code.

Activation of Business Functions

When you activate business functions, you activate Switch Framework switches (SFW switches).

SFW switches directly control whether new Customizing activities and Customizing switches are visible.

You can activate SAP SRM business functions in Customizing for SAP Supplier

Relationship Management under SRM Server -> Activate Business Functions.

Deactivation of Business Functions

In SAP SRM, you can deactivate a business function if the following applies:

The business function only activates Customizing switches and does not directly activate any code or fields.

The Customizing switches corresponding to the business functions can be deactivated.

To deactivate a business function, the following steps need to be performed.

1. Check whether there are limitations at Customizing switch level. You can find this information in the business function description and in the documentation of the Customizing switch in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management.

If there are no limitations, deactivate the Customizing switch or switches in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management.

2. Run transaction Switch Framework Customizing (SFW5), select the business function, and deselect the Revertible checkbox. To do this, you need special authorizations.

3. Save and activate your changes.
