This March, we’re thrilled to introduce a powerful set of new features designed to elevate your project management, monitoring, and traceability. Discover the top 10 enhancements that will drive your digital transformation forward.
IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES
1. Manage Process Hierarchy Nodes in Solution Activities
A significant enhancement has been introduced to simplify the management of process hierarchies for solution activities. Users can now visually navigate and manage process hierarchy nodes directly from both the list view and the Object Page view.
In the Object Page view, you have the ability to edit the details of the selected solution activity’s process hierarchy node. Additionally, you can add new process hierarchy nodes by selecting Assign or remove existing ones by selecting one or more entries and choosing Unassign.
This feature provides a more intuitive way to manage and visualize the hierarchy of processes, making it easier to understand and modify the relationships between different solution activities.
2. Mass Editing of Quality Gate Checklist Items
You can now update multiple checklist items within a quality gate simultaneously. In Edit mode, you can modify the following values for multiple items at once:
- Status
- Planned Completion
- Team
- User Type
- Responsible
This feature allows for more efficient management and customization of your quality gate checklists.
3. Assign Relations in Documents App
You can now assign or unassign relations to the configuration library elements directly from within the Documents app. The assigned relations are listed in the table configurations on the object page of a document, providing a seamless and integrated experience for managing your documents and their associated configurations.
4. Streamline Processes with the New “Scope State” Filter
You can now use this new filter to display only those solution processes that are not yet in scope. This functionality enhances other tasks, such as using the mass editing feature to set multiple processes into scope.
Note
- The Scope State filter is hidden by default but is available under “Adapt Filters”
- Please note that if you select the “Out of Scope” value while viewing the list of Open Solution Processes in display mode, the list will appear empty as the list view was already prefiltered to show scoped processes only.
5. Add Template to Project
When you access the “Setup Project” task in a new project that hasn’t had a template assigned yet, you now can modify the project title and choose an SAP Activate Roadmap within the Guided Implementation application.
6. New Defects Overview Card Available
Gain a clear perspective on the statuses and priorities of your defects with the new Defects Overview Card. It not only makes your management process more efficient but also allows you to focus on resolving issues, ensuring quality and simplifies your workflow.
7. Simplified Test Plan Duplication
You’re now able to duplicate your test plans, making it easier to use them for future testing cycles. The duplicate test plan will be created within the same project and will retain the same attributes as the original. However, any test results linked to the original test plan will not be duplicated.
Note: The default title for a copied test plan is Copy of [Original Title] and its status is set to In Preparation.
OPERATIONS UPDATES
8. SAP Analytics Cloud Data in Real User Monitoring
The Real User Monitoring app in SAP Cloud ALM now monitors SAP Analytics Cloud, allowing you to view real-time user interaction data – for example, you can monitor response times of individual stories (interactive reports). This feature currently focuses on the client-side components of SAP Analytics Cloud, providing instant insights into real-time front-end user experiences and enabling quick identification of any performance problems.
9. New KPIs available for SAP Systems
The following KPIs are now available for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP Business Suite 7:
- Overdue Purchase Requisition Items Blocking PP/PM Orders
- Production Orders Not Settled
- Outbound Delivery Order Items Overdue for Picking.
These KPIs will be activated automatically if the steps outlined in the Setup for SAP ABAP Systems have been completed and you are utilizing ST-PI version 7.40 SP29.
10. Solving Tips for Exception Solutions
In Integration & Exception Monitoring, the exception details screen now features a “Solving Tips” tab, which displays potential solutions for this exception. These solutions appear as cards, showing summaries and resource links that can be clicked for more detailed information. To refine the suggested solutions, enter more information such as program name or reporting components in the “Fine-tune results with additional keywords” field. The suggestions will then be updated based on the keywords provided.
Empower Your Business with SAP Cloud ALM This March and bloom into a season of action with SAP Cloud ALM’s latest innovations! These new features are designed to fuel your success and make your digital transformation journey even more exciting.
