Edit method configuration

Define the method for displaying database items for this SAP branch after downloading the branch or after SAP® synchronization.

Warning

Changes can lead to inconsistencies. Ensure that the same method configuration is always used for synchronization. This must be the same method configuration used for downloading the content from the SAP® system.

  6. Select the relevant symbol and model types, the allocation diagrams, and the BPMN lane assignment on the Blueprint page to map the Business Blueprint structure.

In these diagrams, synchronization-relevant items can be visually differentiated from those that are non-relevant to SAP synchronization.
