Business Capability Catalog

Overview

Business capabilities serve as a critical link between IT and business, classifying applications based on their capabilities and business value. SAP LeanIX offers best-practice business capability maps tailored to specific industries. You can import these maps from the catalog and customize them to your organization’s needs.

Importing a Business Capability Map

You can import best-practice business capability maps provided by SAP LeanIX into your workspace. Each map is tailored to a specific industry. When importing a map, you can preview business capability hierarchies relevant for this industry and select specific items to be imported.

To import a business capability map, follow these steps:

1. In the administration area, navigate to the Reference Catalogs section, then go to the Business Capability Catalog tab.
2. Select an industry map that you want to import, then click Review & Import. You land on the page showing business capability hierarchies for the selected industry.
3. Select the business capability hierarchies that you want to import, then click Import.

This imports any nonexistent business capabilities along with their full hierarchy and automatically links existing business capability fact sheets with the same name to relevant catalog items.

Business capability fact sheets are created with a name, description, and parent-child relations to fact sheets of the same type (when applicable). Existing fact sheet values, if any, are overwritten.
