SAP C_S4CPB Exam - Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Objective

The purpose of this task is to assign the required business catalogs to the custom all-employee business role created in the previous task. These catalogs provide the applications that will later be shown in the launchpad space and page for all employees.

The catalogs that must be assigned are:

HCM - Employee Self Service

SAP_HCM_BC_EMP_PC

Concur - Employee Self-Service

SAP_CON_BC_CTE_ESS_PC

Business Scenario Explanation

In the previous task, you created a new custom all-employee business role, for example:

Z_EMPLOYEES_ALL_######

That role exists, but on its own it does not yet provide app access.

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud, app access is granted through business catalogs.

This means the role must now be connected to the catalogs that contain the apps employees need.

Later, these catalogs will feed the launchpad page content so end users can easily find the relevant applications.

Important Notes

Always replace ###### with the last 6 digits of your group number.

Use the exact catalog names and IDs.

Assign both required catalogs.

Save the role after assignment.

Do not assign the wrong catalog variant.

Required Catalogs

Assign exactly these two business catalogs:

Business Catalog

Business Catalog ID

HCM - Employee Self Service

SAP_HCM_BC_EMP_PC

Concur - Employee Self-Service

SAP_CON_BC_CTE_ESS_PC

Detailed Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Open the app ''Maintain Business Roles''

From the SAP S/4HANA Cloud launchpad:

Log in to SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Use the app search.

Search for:

Maintain Business Roles

Open the app.

Explanation

This app is used to maintain business roles, assign catalogs, assign launchpad spaces, and maintain restrictions.

Step 2: Search for your custom all-employee business role

Inside Maintain Business Roles:

Search for your business role ID:

Z_EMPLOYEES_ALL_######

Example

If your suffix is 000013, search for:

Z_EMPLOYEES_ALL_000013

Open the role.

Explanation

You must open the custom all-employee role created in the previous task, not a template role and not a standard SAP role.

Step 3: Verify the correct role is open

Confirm that the role details show:

Business Role ID = Z_EMPLOYEES_ALL_######

Business Role Description = All Employee Role ######

Explanation

This ensures you are assigning catalogs to the correct business role.

Step 4: Go to the ''Business Catalogs'' tab

Inside the role:

Click the tab:

Business Catalogs

Explanation

This tab is used to assign the business catalogs that define which apps and app authorizations the role provides.

Step 5: Click Add

In the Assigned Business Catalogs section:

Click Add

This opens the dialog:

Add Business Catalogs

Explanation

The Add popup is used to search for and assign SAP-delivered business catalogs to the custom role.

Step 6: Search for the first catalog

In the Add Business Catalogs popup:

Search for:

SAP_HCM_BC_EMP_PC

or

HCM - Employee Self Service

Select:

HCM - Employee Self Service

Business Catalog ID: SAP_HCM_BC_EMP_PC

Explanation

This catalog provides employee self-service apps and is required by the task.

Step 7: Search for the second catalog

Still in the Add Business Catalogs popup:

Search for:

SAP_CON_BC_CTE_ESS_PC

or

Concur - Employee Self-Service

Select:

Concur - Employee Self-Service

Business Catalog ID: SAP_CON_BC_CTE_ESS_PC

Explanation

This catalog provides the Concur employee self-service content and is also explicitly required by the task.

Step 8: Add the selected catalogs

After selecting both catalogs:

Click OK or Apply

Explanation

This adds the selected catalogs to the custom role in draft mode.

Step 9: Verify both catalogs are listed

Back in the Business Role screen, verify that both assigned catalogs are visible:

SAP_HCM_BC_EMP_PC

SAP_CON_BC_CTE_ESS_PC

Explanation

This confirms that the required app authorizations have now been attached to the role.

Step 10: Save the role

Click:

Save

Explanation

This finalizes the catalog assignment.

Without saving, the catalogs remain only in draft and the role will not provide the required app content.

Step 11: Verify the result after save

After saving, check again that the role still shows both business catalogs in the assigned list.

Explanation

This confirms the task was completed successfully and the role is ready for the next step, which is launchpad space/page content.

Expected Result

After this task is completed successfully:

the custom all-employee role has both required business catalogs assigned,

the role is saved successfully,

the role now provides the app authorizations required for employee self-service content,

the launchpad page can later use these catalogs to add the required tiles.
