• Key Concepts: 
  Baseline is a term used in SAP LO-CM Configuration Management to refer to a snapshot of the current configuration of a system. It is used to compare the current configuration with a previous version, or to compare different versions of the same system. Baselines can be used to identify changes in the system, and to ensure that the system is configured correctly.
  
  How to use it: 
  Baselines can be created manually or automatically. To create a baseline manually, the user must select the objects that they want to include in the baseline and then save it. To create an automatic baseline, the user must set up an automatic baseline schedule, which will create a baseline at regular intervals. The user can then compare different baselines to identify changes in the system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a baseline, it is important to include all relevant objects in order to ensure that all changes are captured. It is also important to create baselines regularly in order to ensure that any changes are identified quickly.
