Dear IS-H consultants,
I have a doubt regarding IS-H country version (country localization). There are different standard country versions which are provided
and supported by SAP AG. You use that country version which is for that country where you implement IS-H. However if you implement IS-H in a country where there is no country localization, then you can use one of those which is more
suitable for you (as far as I understand) – there is no restrictions.
But if business rules of your country/customers are different comparing with that one which you’ve chosen, modification which might
be required will not be supported by SAP AG. You will have to request for access key to modify a standard code which might be lost whilst a patch is installed in your system.
There is a document ‘Technical procedure for IS-H country localization V4B’ which I’ve read on my first IS-H implementation project and
which we followed during implementations. There is a phrase in the document ‘In general it isn’t recommendable not supported by SAP to use one of the standard country version in installation outside the countries for which the corresponding
country versions were designed’.
Could someone comment on the above, share their experience? Has anyone heard about the document ‘Technical procedure for IS-H country
localization V4B’ and is it still applicable or not?
I haven’t found any information regarding the above on the internet. If SAP AG consultants are here, your advice/comments are really
appreciated. It would be so helpful to make it clear since there are lots of implementations in countries where there is no localization.
Thanks and Regards,
Alexander Polevoy
