SAP Best Practices for SAP S/4HANA (1909 FPS0) Activation in a merged client
(with all client 000 reference settings)
Country: USA
Pre-requisite steps: Must be performed before starting the Best Practices activation.
Reminder: Ensure you applied all SAP note provided in the content activation Note 2776548

1. Mandatory : Apply all SAP notes provided in the content activation Note 2776548
2. When using the client copy from client 000, 3 tax codes appear for US. We need only
UTXJ. Therefore, delete UTX2 and UTX3 in Transaction OVK1.
Delete the entries for US – UTX2 and UTX3
Choose Save and select or create customizing transport.

3. Delete all client 000 reference Tax Jurisdiction codes from the activation client:
The client 000 reference sample Tax Jurisdiction codes are not required as the
Best practices activation creates the tax Jurisdiction codes during the activation. If
the client 000 reference settings are left undeleted, you will not be able to create
any further jurisdiction codes. Please follow the below procedure to delete the
default Tax Jurisdictions (mandatory step before you start the activation)
a) In transaction SM30 enter the Table/view V_TTXJ and choose Maintain.
b) On the Determine Work Area: Entry dialog, enter TAXUSJ
 c) On the Change View “TAX Jurisdiction”: Overview screen, from the application
tool bar, choose Select All button (F7) and then choose the Delete button.
d) Choose Save and then create a transport to save the change request. Please
do not release this transport to your Q or P system.
4. Pre-selecting the best practices Operating concern:
When the activation client has all client 000 settings, there are some sample
operating concerns present. During the BP activation, the ECATT cannot decide
which operating concern to select. Therefore, parametrizing a fixed value in your
user settings (SU01) enables the ECATT to select only the best practices defined
operating concern. Enter parameter enter ERB value as A000 and ETP as 2.
Note: If you have any other existing parameters, do not delete them.

5. Define Reasons for Quantity Differences deletion:

In SPRO, navigate to the
Logistics Execution –> Shipping –> Deliveries -> Proof of Delivery -> Define
Reasons for Quantity Differences

Delete the two existing entries (There can be only two entries for Quantity
calculation. The best practice entries cannot be populated if the client 000 settings
exist, an exceptional situation)

6. Business Partner - Customer/Vendor settings: Due to conflicts between the

number ranges from client 000 reference settings and the Best practices content,
 adjustments are needed before the start of the activation.
“Business_Partners_Number_Range_Setting_Adjustments.docx” attached to the
Note 2839315 explains the background of the required changes. Carryout all steps
provided in section 1.1.3 Step by Step guide.

7. Delete wrong delivered default client 000 settings: There are two wrong entries
in table T093C, which will prevent the activation of Asset accounting (New) in J48.
A SAP note is expected to be released soon, but till then please follow the below
workaround.
Create an executable program with the following code:
REPORT ZDELETE_T093C.
Delete from T093C Where BUKRS = '0003' or BUKRS = 'RS01'.
Execute the Report ZDELETE_T093C. When you execute the report you may not
get any message but when you go to SE16n and check in T093C, there should be
no entries.
Troubleshoot Activation errors:

skipped)
