Naming Convention for an SEM-BPS project

 

Naming Convention for an SEM-BPS project

• Business Planning & Simulation (BPS)
• Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM)

Text Body:

Every SEM-BPS project goes through this situation.

How to name the various SEM-BPS objects? SAP projects are long initiatives and may take more than a year to complete. In

several instances, the original team members are no longer there by the end of the project.

In such a case, it is

important to have some standards in place. Naming convention for the SEM objects in one way to ensure consistency on an SEM

initiative.

We have put together a possible Naming Convention standard for an SEM-BPS initiative, based on our

collective experience here at SAP Professionals Network. This may need changes in your particular situation, but it is a

reference that you can use to customize one for your project.

If you have any comments or want to suggest some

changes/additions or any caveats please share them via the comments at the bottom so that everyone can benefit from

collective experience and wisdom.
