Please refer SAP Note 3126942 - Jump Start Your SAP S/4HANA 2021 Implementation by Activating SAP Best Practices which will guide you in preparing for implementation of S/4HANA using SAP Best Practices content.
WARNING: This blog provides guidance for activating S/4HANA 2021 FPS1 Best Practices when a client is setup as Best Practice client. If you set up a merged client as per Alternative 2 - Setting up a merged client (all client 000 reference settings), follow the activation guidance as per SAP Note 3096191 - Implementation of SAP S/4HANA SAP Best Practices 2021 (on premise) - Activation i... (steps shown in this color)
NOTE: for Best practices activation purpose, In case you are using SapGui version 7.50, you need to uncheck "Accept Belize theme". Once the Best practices activation is completed, you can activate the SAP Fiori visual theme back. This is shown later under SAP SAPGUI settings.
Please find other blogs as follows at S/4HANA SQUARE ONE
Here is the Video for this blog for SAP S/4HANA 1909 FPS0 (Not 2021 FPS1 but process is similar):
https://youtu.be/Yd3fMDVJFRE
This blog includes installation of SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS1 and will focus on creating Sandbox type instance with co-deployed (embedded Fiori gateway).
The step by step procedure for Best Practices Content Activation on SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS1 has only two base languages EN & DE and Country= USA. The BP Activation process runtime is approx. 4 Hrs. Please refer Admin Guide.
Adding further language translations later is not supported once the solution is activated, therefore, identify and install all the required languages you may need in future (if possible). You can check the following blog post for information on how to import a large number of languages efficiently.
Since 1709 release, the Solution builder automatically identifies your installed languages and imports only those translations required while importing the installation data.
A new Solution Builder profile has been created with ALL scope items but in case you have finalized scope items you can select only the needed scope items. Depending on how many selected scope items, activation procedure will need less time The status of system before starting this procedure is clearly defined before starting.
Tax calculation for US sales and purchases:
The US solution for SAP S/4HANA 2021 (BP_OP_ENTPR_S4HANA2021_USV8.XML) is delivered with internal tax calculation. It includes sample Jurisdiction codes and sample rates so that you can execute the best practices test scripts out of the box. For productive purposes, you must replace the sample jurisdiction codes and rates with the your own user defined jurisdiction codes and actual tax rates. If you prefer to use an external tax provider, you must configure the required settings
STEP 1: SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS1 is installed and SPAM checked as per previous blog Part 2 link
STEP 2: All Notes should be applied after complete installation of SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS1 as per SAP Note 3138483 - SAP S/4HANA 2021 Feature Package Stack 01: Additional Release Information Apply all the SAP Notes mentioned in the above Note.

TIP on Note 2987015 for VCH AFL installation: In this note it is mentioned that you have to download and install VCH AFL. This is S/4HANA release specific (for example 2021) as well as database specific (for example HANA 2 rel 61). Use the link to select your release 2021 and then download the specific file for the combination of S/4H and DB for example VCH202100_2061_0-70006349.SAR.
After you download install and follow SAP Note 1650957 - SAP HANA Database: Starting the Script Server. Excute SQL statement with SYSTEMDB@HDB - ALTER DATABASE HDB ADD 'scriptserver'
(If you have multiple tenant databases please use SID of db that contains S/4HANA schema) and
then on tenant db HDB - GRANT AFL__SYS_AFL_VCH_2021_EXECUTE to SAPHANADB
After you have installed VCH AFL please login to S/4HANA system and run in SA38 report VCH_HL_AFL_CHECK and it should show green status.
also review SAP Note 3053781 - SAP S/4HANA 2021 collective note for content activation
and SAP Note 3096191 - Implementation of SAP S/4HANA SAP Best Practices 2021 (on premise) - Activation i....
STEP 3: Using SFW5, Enterprise Business Functions are activated as per Required Enterprise Business Functions in Admin Guide.
Please note that activation of some of the business functions requires additional licenses and you have to activate the business functions as per your requirements of scope list. For the purpose of the blog we have activated all business functions and scope items.
TIP: As compared to previous releases the Business Functions activation takes long time, therefore it is required to confirm that the activation job has finished successfully before proceeding.
STEP 4: Register client in table /FTI/T_NOCLN000 (for merged client do not register client in this table) so that Client Copy is done with tables defined in whitelist table /FTI/TWHITEL01.
If you want to perform client copy using new tCode SCCLN, use profile SAP_U000 for Best Ptractices client copy. For Merged client copy you can use you can use the copy profiles SAP_UCUS, SAP_CUST, SAP_CUSV, or SAP_UCSV. if you get any error message please create ticket using component SV-CLD-ACT.
TIP: Use the new tCode SCCLN to perform Client copy which is 10 times faster and you can do it form Client 000 or any other client than the target client and don't need user SAP*/pass to perform client copy. If you use the new Client copy procedure you have to define logical system for Client 000 like S4HCLNT000 also besides the logical system for client 100. Otherwise you will get error - "Dedicated logical system is not defined".
Please see the screenshot below:
Copied client to have no currency in tCode SCC4.
CLIENT COPY VALIDATION: Please check table entries using tCode SE16, table (1) T001, click on (2) Number of entries to check number of entries. If there are (3) zero entries as below it is a Best Practices client.For Merged Client you should have some records in this table.
STEP 5: You may like to add Solution Builder to your Favorites in SAP Menu.as this is the transaction you will use until the activation is complete. Also add transaction SECATT. You can remove them from favorites after activation if not needed.

From the menu, choose
STEP 10: If you are using Best Practices Client (not relevant for merged client) and also scope items 2EM and 53X you will get an error in building block 3ZL(XX). In order to avoid the error you have to do following steps:
In the Solution Builder, select Building Block Builder on the application toolbar. In teh Building Block Builder,
(1) Change, (2) select All Bulding Blocks, (3) Search, (4) Search for NJIT_VC_VP_NJIT_V_VP_HDR_3ZL.TXT, (5) Click on SIMG_NJIT_VP, (6) Choose Solution Specific tab,

STEP 14(OPTIONAL): Best Practices content activation for any solution will populate the client currency as USD by default. In case you want to have a different client currency, you should change the currency before activation starts.You should not change client currency once the first solution in the client is activated. The procedure is as follows:
Enter tCode /N/SMB/CD_MAINT
In the All Central Data Entities section, use (1) search to find (2) DSC in the table and double-click it, Click (3) Change and change the (4) ID field.
When activating several SAP Best Practices country solutions please follow the procedure provided in 2021 OP Admin guide.
STEP 15: Please do all the steps needed for Pre-activation settings for EWM scope items as per Admin Guide 3.6.1.4 as per the admin guide in the link pages 64-76 as below. Please replace S4HCLNT100 with your <SID>CLNT<CLIENT> and S4HEWM100 with <SID>EWM<CLIENT>

STEP19: POST ACTIVATION - EXECUTING MANUAL REWORK ACTIVITIES:
This step should be done in DEV to create a solution for manual rework activities to general xml file for manual rework activities. This is simply a list of steps to be performed in Q just like a word document.
Please follow procedure as described in Admin Guide section 3.6 Executing manual rework activities.
