SAP for Me in an SAP Activate procedure step

Within each task, you find procedure steps to break down the individual step needed to complete the task. It is very important to read each procedure step to know how to execute each task and which platform to use. Below is an example of a procedure step to request access to the SAP Central Business Configuration tenant. Review the prerequisite task, the procedure notes, and the accelerator section before requesting the tenant.
