Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for configuring software. The software may be configured with wizard-like configuration levels, including configuration levels that may overlay previous ones. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided for configuring software. The method may include prompting a user to select a scenario for configuring the software, receiving, as input, a selected scenario from the user and further prompting the user to enter configuration data based on the selected business scenario. The method may also include applying at least one template to generate at least one configuration statement for the software, wherein the at least one template comprises a set of rules for generating the configuration statement based on the configuration data entered by the user.
