In the R/3 system from SAP, a Business Configuration Set (BC Set) is a management tool that allows the user to record, save, and share customized settings. By creating a BC Set, the user is provided with a snapshot of the customized settings of a system that can be used later on as a template; SAP also provides pre-packaged BC sets designed for specific industries and applications. BC Sets are useful because they provide continuity and prevent project team members from overwriting each other's settings.
SAP's Web site provides information about Business Configuration Sets.
SAP Info magazine published a short case study of GlaxoSmithKline's use of Business Configuration Sets.
