(he configuration content is $eli,ere$ in the form of buil$ing bloc/s. (he buil$ing bloc/ conce&toffers substantial benefits to SAP %hannel Partners in,ol,e$ in the $e,elo&ment' $istribution an$sale of mySAP All-in-One Solutions. Buil$ing bloc/s are business &rocess oriente$ &reconfigurationunits that you ?ust ha,e to assemble to obtain your $esire$ installation. (hey can be use$ fleibly asthe base for many ,ertical solutions. (herefore' you ill be able to meet the business re*uirementsof your customers ith re$uce$ $e,elo&ment efforts an$ can therefore focus on the $e,elo&ment of the s&ecific ,ertical configuration re*uirements of each customer.

*'*1 uilding loc$

Definition

Buil$ing bloc/s are reusable &reconfiguration units that you can combine to install a mySAP All-in-One business scenario or solution. Similar to a construction /it' you can assemble buil$ing bloc/sfleibly to set u& business scenarios. 5sing buil$ing bloc/s for installing business content meansre$ucing re$un$ancies' because you can use a generic buil$ing bloc/ in $ifferent solutions. oucan use the buil$ing bloc/ installations as the basis for your on ,ertical solutions.

%om&are$ to &reconfiguration &ac/ages $e,elo&e$ in the &ast' the buil$ing bloc/ conce&t offerssome ma?or a$,antages. )n the &ast the configuration content as com&onent-focusse$. ou ha$ toim&ort the configuration of an entire system' hereas you can no select bloc/s of scenario-oriente$ configuration. (he reusability of buil$ing bloc/s accelerates an$ facilitates the installationbecause you nee$ no longer im&ort the settings of an entire system but can buil$ u&on se&arateconfiguration bloc/s. As a conse*uence' $e,elo&ment an$ maintenance costs are minimi:e$'because re$un$ant $e,elo&ment is re$uce$.

E+ample

uilding loc$ Characteristics

A buil$ing bloc/ is not characteri:e$ by the amount of &reconfiguration it co,ers but by itsreusability as a com&lete configuration entity in the installation of one or more solutions. #ith thebuil$ing bloc/ a&&roach' you can therefore classify both entire solutions an$ minor s&ecificconfiguration &ac/ages as buil$ing bloc/s' $e&en$ing on their ability to feature as configuration

units in $ifferent solutions.(he si:e an$ content of buil$ing bloc/s can $iffer as follosH

Some buil$ing bloc/s co,er only a limite$ sco&e of configuration' for eam&le' the Discreteanufacturing Buil$ing Bloc/. Other buil$ing bloc/s contain ,ery etensi,e an$ genericconfiguration' such as the %ore Buil$ing Bloc/ that forms the basis of se,eral in$ustry solutions.
