- SAP Best Practices content is designed for activation by Implementation Partners/Consultants and requires a corresponding implementation project to make sure all customer requirements are fulfilled and any side effects on existing configurations are taken into consideration.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly advised to use the activation of SAP Best Practices via Upgrade Center in Test/Development instances only and to use common tools like IST to setup PRODUCTION instances.
MUST READ: Carefully review the SAP Note 2011015 – SAP Best Practices for SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - for clear guidance BEFORE running any activation in the Upgrade Center.
