option for SAP S/4HANA
Glossary of commonly used terms
Pricing Sheet A combination of a condition type (such as price, discount, or surcharge) and a condition
table (the fields that form the key for a condition record) for an application (sales or
purchasing). Price sheets must be defined during configuration before condition records
can be created and stored on each price sheet within DM Pricing.
Dynamic Pricing Customer-defined condition tables are limited in number. To increase the number of
pricing tables that can be defined, create dynamic pricing tables (and create fields to be
assigned to the table) in configuration. A dynamic price sheet then is flagged as being
maintained using dynamic pricing.
Price Policy Price policies calculate thresholds for pricing exceptions and generate warnings when a
price requirement on a price sheet has been violated. Price policies can be set to auto
execute when price records are created, or they can be called on demand.
Classic Classic maintenance is the simplest maintenance method used to create, change, and
Maintenance display condition records. DM Pricing's pricing maintenance offers the ability to create,
maintain, and display conditions in an easy-to-use, Excel-like centralized view, giving you
greater control for mass changes. When using classic maintenance, saved pricing data
instantly becomes accessible by all SAP ECC Sales and Purchasing transactions.
Price Proposal Initiated to request approval for the creation of condition records.
Profile-based Utilizes the price profiles created during configuration to control how pricing information is
Maintenance fetched and displayed during maintenance activities.
Sample Scenario
The Data Maintenance Pricing (DMP) allows condition records to be created, changed, and displayed to optimize the
entry and maintenance for pricing records related to the business processes. The Price Proposal provides users a
means to review changes prior to being posted in Fiori. In this use case, the pricing records will be changed and created,
before the records are saved as a Price Proposal. Then, the Price Proposal will be posted from the new DMP Price
Proposal Fiori interface.

Vistex Namespace
How can users determine if they are in a Vistex transaction versus an SAP transaction?
Answer: Vistex Transaction Code (T-code) begins with /IRM/
Example of Tabs in the Workbench
Vistex solutions workbenches are similar to SAP workbenches:
• Terms/Settlement tab – Allows to set up the payment parameters (how and when payment is made).
• Status tab – Allows to set up approval process and view current level reached.
• Date tab – Displays business tasks and the timeframe for the duration of the task (planned/actual).
• Notes tab – Stores and maintains comments for internal purposes.
• Document tab – Stores, organizes and maintains documents associated with the Agreement. The stored
document remains with the Agreement, Agreement Request, Claim, Transaction or Deal.
• Text tab – Used to save predefined standard text that can be re-used (such as privacy policy).
• Clauses tab – Displays the contract clauses assigned to the Agreement. This tab can be used to author an
entire contract or specific sections (clauses) and then can be sent for review and approval.
• Admin tab – Displays who created and/or changed information.
• General tab – Displays information useful for searching and reporting.
• Org Data tab – Displays the organization data entered when the Agreement was created which is required by
SAP. Vistex allows to override this at the rule level to increase flexibility.
• Partner tab – Allows to search by partner. A partner is an individual or a legal entity within or outside the
organization, with which the organization is conducting a business transaction.

Configure Fiori
In order to provide a more user friendly and customizable user experience, many of the Vistex applications are available
as Fiori applications. Fiori applications allow clients to develop role-based layouts and improve overall user experience
for many applications. This is accomplished through the creation of UI profiles, search profiles, and role assignments.
These applications are available through the Vistex Launchpad and are scalable for use on any device. To access the
application, the user will have to provide the corresponding URL in the browser. This will take the user to the logon
screen. Here the corresponding credentials must be entered.
To access the Fiori, the UI connection must be maintained between the ERP system and the Gateway system.
February 15, 2021

UI Connection Maintenance (ERP System)
The following steps must be completed to maintain the ERP system connection to the Gateway system:
• After executing the transaction /IRM/GUICNM, the user must select type of UI Connection as Remote.
• Then the RFC Destination of the Gateway System, based on the connection type selected.
The below example illustrates the information necessary for a remote connection.
ERP Connection Maintenance (Gateway System)
With the connection completed on the ERP system side, the UI connection must be maintained in the Gateway
System. For this, the following steps must be followed:
• Execute transaction /VUI/GERPCNM, to maintain ERP Connection type.
• Specify the RFC Destination, the ERP System, for the corresponding connection type.
• Then specify the HTTP Destination, for example the HTTP Connection to the ABAP System from the transaction
SM59. This will support the GUI navigations and IP Reports for Remote Connection.
The below example illustrates this connection using the remote connection.

If there are issues when installing SAP Data Maintenance by Vistex (DMp and DMr), make sure the file size that is
being installed matches the file size on help.sap.com. Security on some networks will not allow for a full download and
will truncate the files. Also, if copying the files from a PC to an application server, make sure it is done in “BINARY”
mode.
Below are some known tips.
Issue: Material will not post.
Cause: A required field is not filled in or an invalid value has been entered.
February 15, 2021

Troubleshooting: Try to create the material in the standard SAP material create transaction (MM01) with the
same data minus the Data Maintenance fields. If a required field does not have data, that attribute will need
to be added to an available attribute group or a new attribute group which is then associated with the product
type in Data Maintenance. If an invalid value is entered, the value needs to be excluded from the applicable
attribute available values or the attribute will need to reference the correct table to provide a list of values
during entry.
Issue: Customer will not post.
Troubleshooting: Try to create the customer in the standard SAP customer create transaction (XD01) with
the same data minus the Data Maintenance fields. If a required field does not have data, that attribute will
need to be added to an available attribute group or a new attribute group which is then associated with the
product type in Data Maintenance. If an invalid value is entered, the value needs to be excluded from the
applicable attribute available values or the attribute will need to reference the correct table to provide a list of
values during entry.
Issue: Vendor will not post.
Troubleshooting: Try to create the vendor in the standard SAP vendor create transaction (XK01) with the
same data minus the Data Maintenance fields. If a required field does not have data, that attribute will need
to be added to an available attribute group or a new attribute group which is then associated with the product
type in Data Maintenance. If an invalid value is entered, the value needs to be excluded from the applicable
attribute available values or the attribute will need to reference the correct table to provide a list of values
during entry.
Issue: A pricing record will not save.
Troubleshooting: Try to create the condition record in the standard SAP condition record create transaction
(VK11) with the same data minus the Data Maintenance fields. If a required field does not have data, the field
may be missing from the layout and will need to be added. If an invalid value is entered, the correct value
should be added, or the defaults may need to be changed.

Data Protection and Privacy
This section provides information about how Solutions by Vistex for SAP S/4HANA complies with data protection
requirements:
Data protection is associated with numerous legal requirements and privacy concerns. In addition to compliance with
general data privacy regulation, it is necessary to consider compliance with industry-specific legislation in different
countries. SAP provides specific features and functions to support compliance with regards to relevant legal
requirements, including data protection. SAP does not give any advice on whether these features and functions are the
best method to support company, industry, regional, or country-specific requirements. Furthermore, this information
does not give any advice or recommendation in regard to additional features that would be required in particular IT
environments; decisions related to data protection must be made on a case-by-case basis, under consideration of the
given system landscape and the applicable legal requirements.
Note
In the majority of cases, compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws will not be covered by a
product feature. SAP software supports data protection compliance by providing security features and specific
data protection-relevant functions, such as simplified blocking and deletion of personal data. SAP does not
provide legal advice in any form. Definitions and other terms used in this document are not taken from any
given legal source.
Caution
The extent to which data protection is supported by technical means depends on secure system operation.
Network security, security note implementation, adequate logging of system changes, and appropriate usage
of the system are the basic technical requirements for compliance with data privacy legislation and other
legislation.
You also need to make sure that no personal data enters the system in an uncontrolled or non-purpose related way,
for example, in free-text fields, or customer extensions.

Glossary for Data Protection and Privacy

The following terms are relevant in the context of data protection and privacy. Not all terms may be relevant for Solution
Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex:
Term Definition
Blocking A method of restricting access to data for which the

primary business purpose has ended.
Consent The action of the data subject confirming that the usage
of his or her personal data shall be allowed for a given
purpose. A consent functionality allows the storage of a
consent record in relation to a specific purpose and
shows if a data subject has granted, withdrawn, or
denied consent.
Data subject An identified or identifiable natural person. An

identifiable natural person is one who can be identified,
directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an
identifier such as a name, an identification number,
location data, an online identifier or to one or more
factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that
natural person.
Deletion Deletion of personal data so that the data is no longer

available.
End of business Date on which the business with a data subject ends, for
example, the order is completed, the subscription is
canceled, or the last bill is settled.
End of purpose (EoP) End of purpose and start of blocking period. The point
in time when the primary processing purpose ends, for
example, a contract is fulfilled.
End of purpose (EoP) check A method of identifying the point in time for a data set
when the processing of personal data is no longer
required for the primary business purpose. After the
EoP has been reached, the data is blocked and can only
be accessed by users with special authorization, for
example, tax auditors.
Personal data Any information relating to a data subject.
Purpose The information that specifies the reason and the goal
for the processing of a specific set of personal data. As
a rule, the purpose references the relevant legal basis
for the processing of personal data.
Residence period The period of time between the end of business and the
end of purpose (EoP) for a data set during which the
data remains in the database and can be used in case
of subsequent processes related to the original purpose.
February 15, 2021

Term Definition
At the end of the longest configured residence period,
the data is blocked or deleted. The residence period is
part of the overall retention period.
Retention period The period of time between the end of the last business
activity involving a specific object (for example, a
business partner) and the deletion of the corresponding
data, subject to applicable laws.
The retention period is a combination of the residence
period and the blocking period.
Sensitive personal data A category of personal data that usually includes the
following type of information:
Special categories of personal data such as data
revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions,
religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union
membership and the processing of genetic data,
biometric data, data concerning health, sex life or sexual
orientation or personal data concerning bank and credit
accounts
Personal data subject to professional secrecy
Personal data relating to criminal or administrative
offenses
Personal data concerning insurances and bank or credit
card accounts
Where-used check (WUC) A process designed to ensure data integrity in the case
of potential blocking of business partner data. An
application's where-used check (WUC) determines if
there is any dependent data for a certain business
partner in the database.
If dependent data exists, this means the data is still
required for business activities. Therefore, the blocking
of business partners referenced in the data is
prevented.
February 15, 2021

The following figure illustrates the lifecycle of personal data:
User Consent
Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex use master data—including a possible mix of business partner
companies and business partner persons—found in SAP S/4HANA. This master data is used to create pricing and/or
agreements for the benefit of the companies or persons. If an agreement has been executed in legal form, then consent
has been either explicitly or implicitly granted to use personal information to provide benefits (pricing, rebates,
reimbursements, etc.) under the agreement executed by the company or person.
The application of data privacy protections should not pre-empt legal agreements executed between your company
and any persons regarding the transaction of business. Since all business transacted in Solution Extensions for SAP
S/4HANA by Vistex is designed to be legally binding, the legal agreement must be canceled or terminated before any
withdrawal of consent or limitation placed on the use of personal data that prevents the fulfillment of the legal obligations
specified in such agreement represented in the combined solution.
For example, if you have a legally binding agreement that you will pay a rebate to a person based on their purchases
from you, the person should not withdraw consent without first terminating the legal agreement according to the terms
allowed in the legal agreement. Otherwise, a conflict could arise where you are obligated to pay but are unable to pay.
Read Access Logging

Read Access Logging (RAL) is used to monitor and log read access to sensitive data. This data may be categorized
as sensitive by law, by external company policy, or by internal company policy. These common questions might be of
interest for an application that uses Read Access Logging:
February 15, 2021

Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex are embedded SAP Add-On, and therefore, the SAP standard logging
mechanism is used. Upload programs and batch jobs will store logs in the standard SLG1 transaction. However, the
workbenches will not save the logs. The logs are available for display only. The details are below by application.

Information Report
Data subjects have the right to get information regarding their personal data undergoing processing. The information
retrieval feature supports you to comply with the relevant legal requirements for data protection by allowing you to
search for and retrieve all personal data for a specified data subject. The search results are displayed in a
comprehensive and structured list containing all personal data of the data subject specified, subdivided according to
the purpose for which the data was collected and processed.
Deletion of Personal Data
Simplified Blocking and Deletion
When considering compliance with data protection regulations, it is also necessary to consider compliance with
industry-specific legislation in different countries. A typical potential scenario in certain countries is that personal data
shall be deleted after the specified, explicit, and legitimate purpose for the processing of personal data has ended, but
only as long as no other retention periods are defined in legislation, for example, retention periods for financial
documents. Legal requirements in certain scenarios or countries also often require blocking of data in cases where the
specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes for the processing of this data have ended, however, the data still has to be
retained in the database due to other legally mandated retention periods. In some scenarios, personal data also
includes referenced data. Therefore, the challenge for deletion and blocking is first to handle referenced data and finally
other data, such as business partner data.
Deletion of Personal Data
The processing of personal data is subject to applicable laws related to the deletion of this data when the specified,
explicit, and legitimate purpose for processing this personal data has expired. If there is no longer a legitimate purpose
that requires the retention and use of personal data, it must be deleted. When deleting data in a data set, all referenced
objects related to that data set must be deleted as well. Industry-specific legislation in different countries also needs to
be taken into consideration in addition to general data protection laws. After the expiration of the longest retention
period, the data must be deleted.
Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex might process data (personal data) that is subject to the data protection
laws applicable in specific countries as described in SAP Note 1825544.
The retention period for data in Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex is defined by the archiving period for
each data object. Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex are embedded Add-On(s) and follow SAP
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) protocols for archiving unneeded data. The archival process will remove data
that has reached the end of the Retention Period, provided that you define the archive limit to be the same as the
retention period.
February 15, 2021

Deletion
To enable even complex scenarios, SAP simplifies existing deletion functionality to cover data objects that are personal
data by default. For this purpose, SAP uses SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) to help you set up a compliant
information lifecycle management process in an efficient and flexible manner. The functions that support the simplified
blocking and deletion of personal data are not delivered in one large implementation, but in several waves. Scenarios
or products that are not specified in SAP Note 1825608 (central Business Partner) and SAP Note 2007926 (ERP
Customer and Vendor) are not yet subject to simplified blocking and deletion.
Nevertheless, it is also possible to destroy personal data for these scenarios or products. In these cases, you have to
use an existing archival or deletion functionality or implement individual retention management of relevant business
data throughout its entire lifecycle. The SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component supports the entire
software lifecycle including the storage, retention, blocking, and deletion of data.
Solutions by Vistex uses SAP ILM to support the deletion of personal data as described in the following sections.
All applications register either an end of purpose check (EOP check) in the Customizing settings for the blocking and
deletion of application data (for example, the customer and vendor master or the business partner) or a WUC.
End of Purpose Check (EoP check)
An end of purpose check determines whether data is still relevant for business activities based on the retention period
defined for the data. The retention period is part of the overall lifecycle of personal data which consists of the following
phases:
• Business activity: The relevant data is used in ongoing business, for example contract creation, delivery or
payment.
• Residence period: The relevant data remains in the database and can be used in case of subsequent processes
related to the original purpose, for example reporting obligations.
• Blocking period: The relevant data needs to be retained for legal reasons. During the blocking period, business
users of SAP applications are prevented from displaying and using this data; it can only be processed in case of
mandatory legal provisions.
• Deletion: The data is deleted and no longer exists in the database.
• Change: It is not possible to change a business object that contains blocked data.
• Create: It is not possible to create a business object that contains blocked data.
• Copy/Follow-Up: It is not possible to copy a business object or perform follow-up activities for a business object
that contains blocked data.
• Search: It is not possible to search for blocked data or to search for a business object using blocked data in the
search criteria. It is possible to display blocked data if a user has special authorization; however, it is still not
possible to create, change, copy, or perform follow-up activities on blocked data.
More Information
For more information, see the application-specific sections in this security guide as well as at https://
help.sap.com/s4hana_op_2020 under > Product Assistance > Cross Components > Data Protection
For information about the configuration settings required to enable the end of purpose check, check SAP Security
Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2020, sections Process Flow and Configuration: Simplified Blocking and Deletion.
February 15, 2021

Blocking
Blocking of data can impact system behavior in the following ways:
• Display: The system does not display blocked data.

• Change: It is not possible to change a business object that contains blocked data.
• Create: It is not possible to create a business object that contains blocked data.
• Copy/Follow-Up: It is not possible to copy a business object or perform follow-up activities for a business object
that contains blocked data.
• Search: It is not possible to search for blocked data or to search for a business object using blocked data in the
search criteria.
It is possible to display blocked data if a user has special authorization; however, it is still not possible to create, change,
copy, or perform follow-up activities on blocked data.
Where-Used Check (WUC)

A where-used check is a simple check to ensure data integrity in case of potential blocking. The WUC for this product
checks whether any dependent data for a customer, vendor, or central business partner (cBP) exists in the respective
table. If dependent data exists, that is, if the data is still required for business activities, the system does not block that
specific customer, vendor, or cBP.
If you still want to block the data, the dependent data must be deleted by using the existing archival and deletion tools
or by using another customer-specific solution.
Change Log
Personal data is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, for review purposes or as a result of legal regulations, it may
be necessary to track the changes made to this data. When these changes are logged, you should be able to check
which employee made which change, the date and time, the previous value, and the current value, depending on the
configuration. It is also possible to analyze errors in this way.
Defining Fields to Be Logged

Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex are embedded SAP Add-On(s) (refer to Figure 2). Therefore, the
solution extensions follow SAP’s protocols. Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex process personal data of
business partners that are involved in change requests and activities. If any changes are made regarding the business
partner, the system logs the following information on personal data per change request and activity:
• The user who changed data

• The date and time of the change
• The change type (update, insert, deletion, single field documentation)
• The identifying keys and their values of the data records
• The heading name for the attribute that was changed
You can define the fields to be logged under Display Change Document Objects (transaction SCDO).
You use the authorization object to IAM/CHGLOG to control the change logging for change requests and activities.
Displaying Change Logs

In a typical worklist found in Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex you can access a change log for each
change request and activity.
February 15, 2021

Note
Change logs can only be displayed if the user is assigned the authorization role SAP_AUTH_MOC_ADMIN.
Under Evaluate New Audit Trail → Enhancement Mode (transaction S_AUT10), you can see all changes that have
been processed for the change document objects in Solution Extensions for SAP S/4HANA by Vistex: S_/IAM/ACT
(activity) and /IAM/ISSUE (change request).
