If your project doesn’t use the Project IMG for documentation and status tracking,
it is a good idea to use the SAP Reference IMG or the Enterprise IMG to nd your
conguration steps. You can expect with some certainty that all steps, processes,
and tables will be included in the nal product. It is not easy to discover what SAP
functionality is needed if you do not have access to all of it. SAP has provided an easy
view of virtually all conguration tasks, if you include all of the tasks in the IMG.
If you forget to include those tasks in the IMG, you’ll nd that it is dicult to try to
congure the needed functionality. When in doubt, use the SAP Reference IMG. e
IMG can display both optional and mandatory activities, as shown in Figure 1.5. By
no means must every task in the IMG be completed; the number of tasks and how
specic tasks are customized depend on the functionality needed by the business
processes being used. It is useful to use the search functionality included in the IMG
to nd where specic settings are made. To use the search function, click the binocu-
lars icon in the top toolbar of the IMG (shown in Figure 1.5).
