Prerequisites

The Custom Business Configurations app serves as an entry point to the configuration objects provided by different applications or partners. You can use the app to adjust these configuration objects to change and influence the system behavior.

The required business catalog is included in the SAP_BR_BPC_EXPERT (Configuration Expert - Business Process Configuration) business role template. Make sure that this role is assigned to the user who is responsible for maintaining the error codes.

Hint: The trial user in SAP BTP ABAP trial system already has the required catalog.

  • Step 1

    1. Launch SAP Fiori Launchpad.

    2. Log on with the user who is responsible for maintaining the error codes.

    3. Select Custom Business Configurations tile. If you cannot find the tile, use the search function and enter Custom Business Configurations. You can also use the app finder.

      Start Custom Business Configurations app

    4. Select your business configuration.

      Select business configuration

    5. Click Edit. When the Edit action is performed, a customizing transport request is determined automatically. You can see the determined transport request in the header area. You can find the determination logic in the ABAP documentation of method get_transport_request of interface if_mbc_cp_rap_tdat_cts.

      Click edit

    6. Enter the following:

      • Error Code: 401
      • Description: Unauthorized
      Enter new row
      Click Save.

    7. If the system was able to automatically determine a customizing request, or if you only have a SAP BTP trial account and have made the adjustments mentioned in the first tutorial, the save process is successful and you can now set this step to Done and proceed to the next step Test yourself.
      If not, you are prompted to select a transport request.

    8. Click on the input help button. If a task of a modifiable transport request is assigned to your user, you can select the transport request and then continue with saving by clicking on Select Transport Request. If this is not the case, you must first create a new one.

      Input help button

    9. To create a transport request, return to the SAP Fiori Launchpad home page and choose the Export Customizing Transports app.

      Start Export Customizing Transports app

    10. Click Create.

      Create new transport request

    11. Create a transport request:

      • Description: New Error Codes ###
      • Technical Type: Customizing Request
      Click Create.

    12. In the Custom Business Configurations app, save again. Use the input help to select a transport request. Then click Select Transport Request. If you do not find a transport request, try reloading the Custom Business Configurations app.

      Select transport request in Custom Business Configurations app

    13. The data was recorded on the transport request. Business configuration content can be recorded in both business configuration and development software components. For the transport request, the attribute SAP_CUS_TRANSPORT_CATEGORY must be set to DEFAULT_CUST or MANUAL_CUST.

  • Step 2

    Where can you create a new transport request?
