SAP ERP/Business scenarios

Business scenarios are SAP transactions or strings of transactions, that are performed by business users repeatedly during the normal operations of the system. They include the maintenance of master data (e.g., customers, vendors, materials, employees...) and recording business transactions (purchase orders, invoices, journal entries, etc.)

The prerequisite for executing these scenarios in SAP is, that IT specialists performed certain setup tasks during an implementation project or support assignment.
