Customizing: Built In. When it comes to systematically installing and adapting R/3 to your specific company needs, the R/3 customizing tools, which have been considerably enhanced in Release 3.0, help you achieve this objective. The new Procedure Model ensures transparent management of the implementation process. You can organize global or local implementations on the basis of customizing projects. Project-specific views from the Implementation Guide (IMG) reduce the configuration activities required to a minimum. You can determine the relevant functions using business processes. The next step is described in your own specific IMG, so you can make your own necessary settings. Graphic elements in the IMG and in the customized transactions make implementation clear and easy. And that's not all: the automatic recording of customized settings greatly simplifies production startup.
