SAP Reference IMG

In the standard system, SAP delivers the SAP Reference IMG with each system. The SAP Reference IMG contains the full functionality of all possible Customizing settings across all countries and application components. It is structured hierarchically according to the application component hierarchy. All Customizing activities are assigned to one or more components. You choose the functions that you want to implement in your company  from the application components. This results in individual Customizing projects for implementing the SAP system in your company.

To display the SAP Reference IMG

see Displaying the implementation guide.

You can display the Implementation Guide in various forms:

As the SAP Reference IMG

To display the SAP Reference IMG, choose Tools ® Customizing ® IMG ® Execute Project or Project Administration in the SAP menu

then

Goto ® Display SAP Reference IMG or choose the Display SAP Reference IMG pushbutton.

As a Project IMG

There are two ways to display a Project IMG:

                 From Perform project

Select the project you want to display in your Customizing worklist, and choose Display project below the list.

                 From project management

Select the project which you want to display, in the project overview, and choose Project ® Display or choose Display Project below the project overview.

The project management data is displayed on tabs.

Choose Goto ® Project IMG or the Display Project IMG pushbutton.

The screen and the display functions described below differ depending on whether you display the IMG with or without Tree Control. You can change the display type in the Perform project or Project management initial screen under Settings ® User-specific.

Expanding and Collapsing the Hierarchy Structure

Display IMG without Tree Control:

A plus sign before a structure node in the hierarchy structure indicates that there are additional structure nodes on lower levels. By clicking the plus sign, you expand all nodes of the next level.

A minus sign before a structure node in the hierarchy structure indicates that all structure nodes on lower levels have been expanded. By clicking the minus sign, you hide all nodes of the lower levels.

Display IMG with Tree Control:

The plus and minus signs are replaced by a triangle which points to the right if there are further structure nodes, or down if the structure is already expanded.

Text Display

You can specify whether want the IMG documentation displayed in SAPscript or HTML format with Utilities ® Text display. This setting overrides the text display standard setting.
