The main purpose of the Switch Framework is to simplify an ABAP-based system landscape by adopting one or more industry solutions in a standard system.

By using the Switch Framework, all industry solutions and a restricted list of repository objects are delivered in an inactive state in the system.

SFW1 – to create a switch

Next we need to create a Business Function via the Tcode SFW2, it represents a self-contained function that you can switch on. Technically, a business function is a set of switches that assign objects to the business function.

The following types of business functions are available:

●      Industry Business Function: always needs a business function set to be attached to

●      Enterprise Business Function: independent of business function sets

●     Enterprise Add-Ons: can no longer be created. Semantically they are the same as Enterprise Business Functions but are based on another technique.

A Business Function Set is the top component of the Switch Framework and represents an industry solution that you tailor from existing solutions in the SAP system.
