SAP ships pre-defined POWER Lists with SAP All-in-One. These lists can be used as templates to define other POWER Lists, or to slightly modify them. A customer could also use them directly without modification. However, this needs to be checked in every case, as the business objects in the system for sure depend on the customizing settings of the customer. In some cases, a pre-defined POWER List cannot be used as it is, because of these customer specific settings and needs to be adjusted.
In all cases, SAP recommends to copy the pre-defined POWER Lists into customer namespace (Z* or Y*) to avoid conflicts in later system upgrades.
For sure, also SAP Partners can pre-define POWER Lists for their customers. They can leverage from the SAP Power Lists or they can develop completely new POWER Lists from scratch.
A pre-defined POWER List is at least developed with 1 to n query types and a selection criteria view.
Additional, POWER Lists can be delivered with pre-settings for default queries, default selection criteria and even personalization.
As the connection between the user and the POWER Lists is done via the roles, it is possible to arrange several different POWER Lists from SAP and/or Partners into one or several roles. In other words, the concept is pretty open for any kind of arrangement a partner or customer would like to have in front of the user.
