The BR100 documents the setup for each application, which is arrived at by completing some or all of the other BR (Business Requirements Mapping) and BD (Business Requirements Definition) documents in the Definition, Operational Analysis and Solution Design phases of the implementation project.
The first version of the BR100 will probably be used to build the TEST environment. Any changes required as a result of problems encountered will be incorporated into the next version of the BR100, which will then be used to build (say) the UAT environment. In parallel with these environments, there will probably be a DEVELOPMENT environment and it may be that there will be changes required to the BR100 because of issues encountered there. The "Final" version of the BR100 will probably then be used to build both the PRODUCTION and TRAINING environments.
In other words, it will probably evolve over a period of time.
To find out what other documents are available, look at AIM itself. Not all of the documents are required. If you are not doing any bespoke programing, you will not need to do any of the MD documents. Even the ones you do use, you may not use all of, or use in their original form. AIM is a set of guidelines not a straitjacket.

Hi,
What is the most common format used for BR100 documents - we are currently using Microsoft Word documents - however are being asked to use Microsoft Excel to prepare the BR100 setup document.
What is the preferred format.

hi david
Respecting your comments, i slightly differ with you.
BR.100 is Application setup document, where we are configuring the system which would go live, i.e. the instance is obviously production.So it is a production setup document primafacie.
So it goes without saying that values which are there in production should reflect in br.100.By this logic it is not mandatory to prepare a setup document for CRP, UAT.But if you want to document what you have setup in these instances then do so by all means.

The AIM documents that Oracle supplies for BR100 are in Word Format. However, as I stated earlier, AIM is a set of guidelines, not a straightjacket. If you can create your BR100 in Excel, and that gives you some other benefits that you can't get from using Word, then go for it!

Dushyant,
While I respect your opinion, I suggest that it is extremely useful to document each environment as you create it.
 When you find things that don't work in TEST or UAT, then you can update the BR100 for PROD before you start work on PROD. This is likely to improve the quality of your BR100.
It is possible that you could have formal TEST and TRAINING environments, and it is likely that those will be configured differently from PROD. If so, you will very probably want a BR100 for each environment.
Having said all of that, I will repeat that AIM is a set of guidelines, and not a straightjacket.
David.
