• Key Concepts: 
  External certification is a process in SAP IS-U Device Management (DM) that allows customers to certify their own devices. This process is used to ensure that the devices are compatible with the SAP system and meet the customer's requirements. It also helps to reduce the cost of certification and maintenance.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use external certification, customers must first register their devices with SAP. Once registered, customers can then use the SAP IS-U DM Certification Tool to certify their devices. The tool will check the device's compatibility with the SAP system and provide a report on its performance. Customers can then use this report to make any necessary changes or adjustments to their device before it is certified.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using external certification, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is provided in order for the certification process to be successful. This includes providing detailed information about the device, such as its model number, serial number, and any other relevant information. Additionally, customers should make sure that they have all of the necessary software and hardware components installed on their device before attempting to certify it.
