Hello Mr. Dirk, First of all, thank you for the great videos and the amazing book, which I would recommend to anyone. It's the perfect combination with the videos! 👍 I've recently started working with SEN. Both the Producer and Instant Producer are fantastic, and I just need a bit more practice to improve the quality of my simulations and documentation. I have one more question: the integration of Companion into SAP ERP and whether it works well or not. Have you had any experience with this topic? Thank you, and have a great weekend!

It depends on what you mean by "SAP ERP". For S/4HANA it works extremely well, and I would definitely recommend it. For ECC6.0 you would have to use SAP Companion for Desktop, which works reasonably well, but is more effort to get right (and a lot more effort to set up). SAP Companion for Desktop can be configured to look and (mostly) feel just like SAP Companion (for Fiori) but to me it doesn't _quite_ work as well - although I do have clients who use it extensively, to good effect. Your last option (for ECC6), if you just want to provide access to simulations via the in-app help, is to use the Context Help File. That is very easy to set up, but you don't really get 'in-app help'; you just get access to training material via the help. Hope this helps. Reach out if you need more info.

@@EnableNowExpert Thank you very much for the answer. Yes, I meant SAP ECC 6.0. In our company, this SAP is also informally referred to as ERP. In any case, thank you. I will continue to try and will get back to you once I have results. I wish you a pleasant day.

You need to have the trackingUrlSEN parameter set, and then make sure you are selecting the Workarea specified on that parameter selected when you run the report.

@@EnableNowExpert Thank you for replying Drik, but I am unable to find web assistant setting in that web page. Is there any another way I can change configuration or how can I find web assistant settings.

@@krishnasai5291 It needs to be specified in the Fiori Plugin configuration parameters. Contact your Fiori Admin person, and refer them to the SAP Companion Integration Guide if they need more help.
