Purpose
SAP GRC Process Control is an enterprise software solution for internal controls management. It
enables organizations to document their control environment, test and assess controls, track issues to
remediation, and certify and report on the state and quality of internal controls. Using a combination
of data forms, automated workflows, certification and interactive reports, this solution enables
members of internal control, audit and business process teams to effectively manage compliance
activities. SAP GRC Process Control features ERP integration and automated control testing and
monitoring, which may help to reduce audit cycles and cost of compliance, as well as provide a higher
degree of reliability and integrity in financial statements.
This guide describes how to install SAP GRC Process Control.
You must read the following SAP Notes before you start the installation. These SAP Notes contain the
most recent information on the installation, as well as corrections to the installation documentation.
Make sure that you have the latest version of each SAP Note, which you can find on SAP Service
Marketplace at service.sap.com/notes.

6 Post-Installation
After you have downloaded and installed the different files according to the previous chapters, follow
these post-installation steps in the order they are presented. These steps enable the customization
for the configuration of the product.
BC Sets are an official implementation toolset used to simplify the customization process. There are
certain BC Sets that are delivered with Process Control 2.5 that need to be activated. You can only
activate a BC Set if that client is not a production client in the system. When you activate a BC Set, all
data in the BC Set is transferred into the corresponding original tables. Any entries already in the
original tables are overwritten in this process.
Recommendation
Refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) for more information about activating the BC Set and
using the SPRO transaction. Also, see the SAP Library for the SAP Web Application Server under
Customizing Business Configuration Set .
1. Choose Existing BC Sets from the toolbar in the Implementation Guide. This identifies all the IMG
activities for which a BC Set exists.
2. Select one of these IMG activities and choose BC Sets for Activation to display the contents of the
BC Set.
3. To activate the BC Set, choose Goto BC Set Activation Transaction.

3. Activate all GRPC Service at /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap and /sap/grc/nwbc/pc.
SAP GRC Process Control 2.5 uses various roles to interface with the SAP system. Initially, assign the
SAP_GRC_SPC_ALL role to the person doing the customization of the product. This gives that
person the ability to see and do everything without being assigned to a Process Control role in NWBC.
This role is the power user role. This role is typically assigned to the user setting up the organization
structures and assigning business roles to all the other users. It contains all of the authorizations
from the role SAP_GRC_SPC_BUSINESS_USER, in addition to the following authorizations:
Administration functions in the Process Control Implementation Guide (IMG), structure setup in
expert mode, data upload for structure setup, customizing table maintenance for GRC Process
Control and start of role assignment procedure. The role does not contain the authorizations for
Workflow Customizing, Case Management, or Web services activation. For these authorizations,
use the role SAP_GRC_SPC_CUSTOMIZING.
Caution
Assign the SAP_GRC_SPC_ALL role with caution, since this role can make pervasive changes.
For more information regarding the SAP_GRC_SPC_ALL role and its authorizations, refer to the
SAP GRC Process Control 2.5 Security Guide
Procedure
