You must complete the tutorials in the given order. ## You will learn - How to use the Custom Business Configurations app to maintain configurations ## Intro The [**Custom Business Configurations**](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/76384d8e68e646d6ae5ce8977412cbb4.html) 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. --- ### Custom Business Configurations 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](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-fiori-launchpad-for-sap-btp-abap-environment/searching-for-business-objects-and-apps?version=Cloud) and enter **Custom Business Configurations**. You can also use the [app finder](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-fiori-launchpad-for-sap-btp-abap-environment/app-finder?version=Cloud). ![Start Custom Business Configurations app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m.png) 4. Select your business configuration. ![Select business configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m2.png) 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](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m3.png) 6. Enter the following: - Error Code: **`401`** - Description: **`Unauthorized`** ![Enter new row](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m4.png) 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](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m8.png) 9. To create a transport request, return to the SAP Fiori Launchpad home page and choose the [**Export Customizing Transports**](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/fa7366c3888848bd94566104ac52e627.html) app. ![Start Export Customizing Transports app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m9.png) 10. Click **Create**. ![Create new transport request](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-environment-maintain-bc-app/m10.png) 11.
