This is the 2nd blog of my Blog series on SAP BTP. In this Blog, I would be discussing about:
- Architecting the BTP Setup for the Green field implementations.
- Identify the right services and subscription based on the sizing and scalability
SAP BTP Configurations and Setup : Based on the Business Process / Requirement
In the previous blog of this blog series, We have discussed about high Level Architecture for the Real Time scenarios which meets Business needs and these custom complex solutions will be developed outside the main ERP Core (S4HANA / ECC Backend).
Keeping same Architecture in mind, Let’s focus on below important considerations:
- Identification of various technology component
- Interaction between these technology components to and from for building overall Technical Solution
- BOM (Bill of Material) and Provisioning BTP Services according to different environments / Subaccounts
- Sizing based on the business needs, Flexible enough to scalable to at any point of time.
SAP BTP Enterprise Account Setup:
As a first Step after acquiring SAP BTP Enterprise Account by the customer, needs to perform some basic onboarding steps which can be further understood with the below link https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/protected/index.html#/missiondetail/3019/3297/
More detailed information for the enterprise account , can be checked with below link
Technical Landscape for Sub Account for mentioned Real Time Business case:
Setting up right Account Model is most important activity which needs to be realize during architecting / Solutioning for the BTP.
In this Blog, I would not be discussing about how to setup sub account / directory etc. Please refer one wonderful blog by our mentor @Murli for understanding of Account Models in Details.
A Typical 5 Tier, Subaccount Model will be as follows:
Considering the above 5 Tier Sub Account Model Architecture, Below Configurations setup needs to be performed :

sed on the high Level Architecture discussed in my previous blog, We have below major requirements :
- CAPM Application needs to be developed in BTP
- Workflow for Approval Process
- Attachments Facility
- Third party API Integration
- On Premise S4HANA/ ECC Backend Connectivity
- ADFS for user’s authentication
- Roles Set up
Keeping the same architecture in scope, Needs to have below services are required for BTP enterprise Account:
Service Required for above Architecture

Next Steps:
I hope I have discussed about the Real Time Business Scenario for
- Architecting the BTP Setup for the Green field implementations.
- Identify the right services and subscription based on the sizing and scalability
