You can install a default Baseline installation using SAP-delivered organizational parameters and master data. To do this , read and follow the procedure:
Procedure Is the Installation Assistant installed? Run transaction code /n/smb/bbi to make
sure the Installation Assistant is properly installed. If this transaction is not available, the addon is not installed properly; contact your system administrator.
Create Folders: Create the following folders on your local drive:
o C:\Variants
o C:\Misc
Variants and Test Data Containers (TDC): Copy the variants from the \Variants\BL_AR folder on the DVD to the C:\Variants folder on your local drive.
© SAP AG Page 13 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
Misc files: Copy the files and folders from the \Misc\Baseline_Package\AR folder on the DVD to the C:\Misc folder on your local drive.
Installation Assistant files: The project (.bpp) files for the Installation Assistant were copied to your local drive with the Misc files in the step above. You can now find them on your local drive, at C:\Misc\BPIA.
3.2 Installation Sequence of Building BlocksWhen installing the complete Baseline Package (all scenarios) or just selected scenarios, the necessary technical building blocks have to be installed in the correct sequence. When you use the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant, the installation is automatically carried out in the correct sequence.
The following building block overview table lists the installation sequence of the Baseline Package building blocks. Use this list for reference if you plan to install the Baseline package manually.

3.3 Installation of Building Blocks (e.g. Scenario BBs)
Step 1: To install one (or more or all) scenarios, you first install all the mandatory layer 0 building blocks in the correct sequence (see table above entitled Layer 0 Building Blocks). Import the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant projects:
BASELINE CL B32
BASELINE CL J02
© SAP AG Page 15 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
BASELINE CL N70
BASELINE CL N71
BASELINE CL J05
BASELINE CL J04
BASELINE CL J30
Activate each project in the above sequence.
When the activation process is done successfully, continue with the selective installation of Layer 1 building blocks (see next paragraph).
All SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant files ( *.bpb and *.bpp files) can be found on the documentation DVD in the directory \Misc\BL_CL\BBIA )
Step 2: Upload the project and the building block files of your chosen scenario (for example, “Pro_J60_BBIA_CL.bpp” and “J60_BBIA_CL.bpb”) and, in addition, all the other layer 1 projects and building block files that are prerequisites for your chosen scenario. (See table above entitled Layer 1 Building Blocks to identify prerequisite building blocks for your scenario).
Step 3: Install the prerequisite projects using the building block installer interface.
Step 4: Install your chosen layer 1 scenario building blocks.
If you want to install the scenario Returnable Processing (building block J60), you first install the mandatory projects for “Baseline Layer 0” (B32, J02, N70, N71, J05, J04, J30). Second, you refer to the list above and discover that J19 is prerequisite for J60. Third, you install the prerequisite projects “Baseline CL J19”. Finally, you install the project “Baseline CL J60”.
3.4 PP and PPPI Scenarios J64 and J65 in Dependence of Having CO-PA (BB J17) Installed
Please note that you have the possibility to install the Building Blocks J64 and J65 using or not the Controlling Profitability Analysis (CO-PA is installed via Building Block J17).
To address these two possibilities, SAP Best Practices offers two different SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant projects and building block files for the Building Blocks J64 and J65.
We suggest that you install these scenarios without COPA using the projects “Baseline CL J64 W/O CO-PA” and “Baseline CL J65 W/O CO-PA”.
If you have CO-PA installed, and you want to make use of COPA in those production scenarios, you must use the projects “Baseline CL J64 WITH CO-PA” and “Baseline CL J65 WITH CO-PA”.

Activating a Project10. On the Building Block Installer screen, select a project.
11. Choose the Activate button (Shift+F7).
12. The system performs a component level check. If the component levels of the system do not fall within the minimum and maximum levels set in the project, the system will display a warning dialog box. If you wish to activate a project that does not agree with the system’s component levels, chooseYes. Otherwise, choose No.
SAP does not recommend that you activate a project if the system component levels do not agree with the recommended component levels for the project. SAP takes no responsibility for any errors or problems that may occur.
13. The system performs a series of checks on the project (such as required software component levels, SAP Notes, and so on).
© SAP AG Page 17 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
If the check encounters errors, a dialog box will appear. Confirm the dialog box. Any errors will be listed in the Error list pane at the bottom right of the screen. After you correct the errors, reactivate the project.
14. The system checks the ownership of the project. If there is no owner, you are granted ownership permissions. If someone else owns the project, the system displays a dialog box where you can assume ownership. If the project is being activated, you cannot assume ownership and activation cannot proceed.
15. The system performs checks on some client settings. If the client settings are not correct, you may see up to three dialog boxes asking if the Installation Assistant should make changes to the client settings. To make these changes, choose Yes. The following client settings are checked:

Issues and Considerations during Project Activation
Issue Resolution
Manual Activities If you have a task of type MANU, the system displays the Performance Assistant dialog box with instructions that you must manually complete. Open a new session and perform the instructions in the dialog box. When you are done, return to the original session. You can proceed in one of two ways:
In the Old Status column, choose the Manual status button for the task. Enter a reason for the status change. The status light changes to green. Select the project and choose Activate.
Select the project and choose Activate. The system displays a dialog box asking if the task completed successfully. Confirm the dialog box to resume activation.
eCATTs Running in Foreground
If you are running eCATTs in the foreground, you may be asked to assign transport requests. For all eCATTs in a project, use the same transport request number to ensure easier transport of configuration between systems.
Activation stops after manual activities
Select any node or task in the project, then choose the Activate button to resume activation.
Project stops on error for an automated step
An automated task has caused an error. Perform any system troubleshooting. To clear the error and resume activation, see 5.1.22, Changing the Status of Automated Task.
19. When the activation process is done, a dialog box displays with a message if the activation finished successfully or with errors. Choose Continue.
20. If the activation finished without errors, the project is installed into the system successfully. If there were errors, in the Project List pane, the system expands the task that caused the error and displays error details in the Error List pane. Correct any errors and reactivate the project. For more information on Troubleshooting, see section 5.2.
4 Appendix A: Layer Concept
4.1 OverviewThe Baseline Package consists of mandatory layer 0 building blocks and optional layer 1 building blocks. The layer 0 building blocks provide fundamental preconfiguration, whereas the layer 1 building blocks provide preconfiguration that is required for either one specific scenario or for several scenarios. These building blocks can be put together and also supplemented with additional industry-specific configuration to achieve a vertical industry solution, as depicted below.

5 Appendix B: Additional Tasks and Troubleshooting
5.1 Additional Tasks5.1.1 SAP Note Assistant
UseThe SAP Best Practices for Baseline solution requires implementation of the SAP Notes in the table above. To implement the notes, follow these instructions.
Only run this transaction if you are not using the Best Practices Installation Assistant to activate either the B32 Building Block or the Baseline project.
Procedure1. In an SAP ECC 6.0 session, in the Command field, enter /nSNOTE then choose
Enter.
2. From the Note Assistant screen, choose the Download SAP Note button.
3. On the Note Assistant: Note Browser screen, in the SAP Note Number field, enter the SAP Note number (for example, 827047), then choose Execute.
4. On the Note Assistant: Note Download dialog box, in the Note Number field, enter the SAP Note number then choose Execute to download the note.
5. On the Note Assistant screen, select the downloaded note and choose the Display SAP Note button.
If the note does not display in the list, choose the SAP Note Browser button. On the Note Assistant: Note Browser screen, in the SAP Note Number field, enter the note, then choose Execute. Double-click the note in the results list to display it.
6. On the Note Assistant: Note Display screen, the SAP Note displays as a PDF on the right side of the screen.
7. Read and implement the note as described in the document.
8. Repeat these steps for each note that must be applied manually.
5.1.2 Changing the Status of Automated Task
UseThis activity changes the activation status of a task, allowing you to approve a task even though it originally produced an error.
Procedure1. On the Building Block Installer screen, select a task that has a red light in the Current
status column.
© SAP AG Page 21 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
2. In the Old Status column, to the right of the red light, a Change button displays. Choose the Change button.
3. On the Confirmation dialog box, choose OK to manually change the status to successful.
4. On the Information dialog box, enter a reason for changing the status. Choose Continue.
The information is saved in a log. To view details for a changed task, choose the red light in the Original Status column for that task. A dialog box displays the user who performed the change, the date of the change, and the reason for the change. Choose Continue to close the dialog box.
5.2 TroubleshootingThe following information may help you to solve problems that might occur during the installation process.
5.2.1 Installation in Multiple Clients in the Same LandscapeBecause certain tasks are client-independent, some of the eCATTs may return an error message. Examples include checking operating concern (the second step) in B32, copying Sapscript forms to customer z namespace, creating data structure elements in J17, and other client-independent steps.
If you have installed the Best Practices in another client in the same landscape, unlock the transports created the z-namespace Sapscript forms in another client, then re-run the eCATT
In addition, some of the manual steps may not need to be implemented as the data has already been populated in the previous activation. Examples include user exits and table modifications.
5.2.2 Issue with SAP GUIIf you get the error message Installed scripting engine is older than engine of eCATT script. Do you want to continue anyway?, you must update your SAP GUI to solve this issue.
5.2.3 Project Status DisappearsIf you stop activation of a project and exit the Installation Assistant, when you re-enter the Installation Assistant, you may notice that the status column is empty for any building blocks that were already activated. If you encounter this problem, it is because the BPB files were not loaded into the Building Block Builder before activation. The status-checking mechanism in the Installation Assistant requires the BPB files to be uploaded before activation.
© SAP AG Page 22 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
To ensure proper status tracking for the rest of the installation, upload the BPB files into the Building Block Builder. For the building blocks that were already activated in the project, there is no way to recover the status. In the project, delete the already-activated building blocks, then reactivate from the point you left off.
5.2.4 Capitalization IssuesWindows and UNIX operating systems have different requirements regarding capitalization of filenames. In UNIX systems, filenames are case-sensitive, so ReadMe.TXT, README.TXT, and ReadMe.txt would be considered three different files. In a Windows system, all three of those filenames would refer to the same file.
To prevent this problem during installation, you should ensure that all of your variants and miscellaneous files follow a strict naming convention. The variant files shipped on the DVD are capitalized to minimize or prevent problems.
5.2.5 Troubleshooting eCATTsIn some cases, an eCATT will fail. The system will display an error in the Error List pane. Select the error row, then choose the Display Detail Log button.
On the eCATT Log Display screen, expand the node with the red light. Continue expanding nodes to view the error. Various parts of the screen are clickable (such as Test Configuration, System Data, Test Data, and so on), and can lead you to other transactions that can help you to troubleshoot why the eCATT failed. If the eCATT uses an external variant file, the filename will be shown, and you can open the file to determine if it caused the error.
See the screenshot below for a visual description of the clickable areas.
If the eCATT error was caused by an error in the external variant file, correct the file, exit the eCATT display log, select the project, choose Activate. The system will rerun the eCATT and pull the corrected data from the external file.
If the eCATT error was caused because of an internal issue, you may need to run the eCATT manually, outside of the Installation Assistant. In this case, open another session, then run transaction code SECATT. Enter the Test configuration object name and execute the eCATT in the foreground. After this is completed, return to the Installation Assistant, change the status of the task, select the project, and choose Activate.
If the eCATT error was caused because of a SAPGUI failure, you will need to run the eCATT manually in the foreground. After you have done this, return to the Installation Assistant, change the status of the task, then select the project and choose Activate.
If the eCATT error was caused because of a BC Set failure, on the eCATT Log Display screen, there will be a Customizing changes with BC-Sets section. Expand this section, then look for the row with the error. Click on the rightmost text to jump to the BC Set Activation log. You can use this screen to determine the BC Set error. Once you correct the error, return to the Installation Assistant, select the project, and choose Activate.

5.2.7 Processing of Specific Errors
5.2.7.1 BB J17 (Profitability analysis): Error executing transaction KES1
Only in the case if you get an error executing transaction KES1 (J17 installation step Maintain Characteristic Values), install the SAP notes 64490 and 942785. Then as final step, after you executed report RKEAGENV as described in both notes above, reactivate the operating concern (transaction KEA0, Tab Environment, cross-client and client-specific part).
5.2.7.2 BB J64: Error message for eCATT /SMB41/COB1_O001_J64
If an eCATT runs on status “red” (error), check the eCATT log with regard to the messages generated at the end of a TCD.
Due to different support package level (than that when the eCATT was recorded), this error can occur even if the transaction completely executed the expected action.
Check if the expected action was completed, even if the ATT377 error occurs.
Set the installation status manually to green, if the expected action was completed.
This kind of error may appear in blocks: N70, J17, J64 and J65.
© SAP AG Page 25 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
5.2.7.3 BB J65: Error message for eCATT /SMBA0/V_T399D_E_O0YI_J0A
If you get an error you will have to perform a second activation of the activity through SECATT (in foreground).
If the error still occurs, activate a third time.
5.2.7.4 Warnings in the BC-Set LogsIf an eCATT runs on status red (error), check the eCATT log with regard to the BC Sets that have been activated by this eCATT. If the eCATT log ran on error because the BC Sets have been activated with warnings (use the BC Set log to check this), the eCATT error can be ignored. Set the installation status manually on green, if the BC Set has been activated successfully.
5.2.7.5 eCATT Error Variable xyz does not exist….If an eCATT runs on status red (error), check the eCATT log with regard to the BC-sets that have been activated by this eCATT. If the error message is variable xyz does not exist…. the error can be ignored if the BC Sets have been activated successfully (use the BC Set log to confirm this). Set the installation status manually on green, if the BC Set has been activated successfully.
Example for this error:

SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
5.2.7.6 Window appears during installation A script is trying to attach to the GUI
If such a window appears during the installation process with the Installation Assistant, choose OK.
5.2.7.7 Window appears during installation asking to confirm that text was changed
If such a window appears during the installation process with the Installation Assistant, confirm the information dialog box with Yes (example: BB J14).
5.2.7.8 The installation stops showing the Generate features screen
If the installation stops showing the Generate features screen (example BB J14, BB J09, see screenshot below), continue the installation by choosing Back twice.

SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
5.2.7.9 Issue with SAP GUIIf you get the error message Installed scripting engine is older than engine of eCATT script. Do you want to continue anyway? (see screenshot below) you need to update your SAP GUI to solve this issue.
5.2.7.10 Status of activation of Installation Assistant project is still red although all installation steps are on status green
If the last activity of your project is a manual activity and after you have successfully performed this manual activity, you can set the status of this manual activity on green. Setting this manual activity on green will not set the status of the complete project on green. Note that you have to activate the project again, to set the overall project status on green.
© SAP AG Page 28 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
Example: BB J06: After you have set the last step Define parallel processing in MRP on green, activate the project Baseline DE J06 again to set the overall status on green.
5.2.7.11 Activities not flagged as mandatory show status red
Some projects contain one or more activities that are not flagged as mandatory. If these activities show the status red after activation, you have to activate the project again, to set these activities and the overall project status on green.
Example: BB J56: After the first activation of this project, the first activity Bought-In Tem 1. activation shows the status red. Activate the project Baseline DE J56 again to set this activity and the overall status on green.
If the activities not flagged as mandatory still show status red after second activation.
5.2.7.12 All scenarios in which classification views are generated
If you have already performed this activity within one of the other scenarios you do not need to perform it again. You might get the following error message: No Batch Input Data for screen…. Or you might get the following dialog box during installation:
© SAP AG Page 29 of 79
SAP Best Practices Quick Guide to Installing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (CL)
Ensure that the classification view has been created successfully before and then set the status of this installation activity on green.
5.2.7.13 Building Block N72: Activation of eCATT /SMB15/AS91_O030_N72
During the installation of the scenario Asset Management (building block N72) the eCATT /SMB15/AS91_O030_N72 might run into an error. If this is the case, proceed as follows to solve the error:
1) Start transaction secatt.
2) In the field test configuration, enter the value /SMB15/AJRW_O104_N72.
3) Choose Execute (F8).
4) On the next screen Start option – Test Configuration /SMB15/AJRW_O104_N72, choose Execute (F8).
5) After successful activation of the eCATT go back to the Installation Assistant and activate the project BASELINE DE N72 (Asset Management) again.
