##  Applying the 6R Classification
Applying the 6R classification involves a collaborative effort and considering various aspects of technological need, business impacts, budgeting constraints, and the complexity of the change. To begin the process, engage in discussions with relevant personnel within your organization who possess knowledge and insights about the applications in question. Use the [Surveys](https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix/ea/surveys?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=CLOUD "SAP LeanIX surveys streamline data collection and collaboration with seamless integration with fact sheets.") feature to easily reach out to the responsible stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures that multiple perspectives are considered, leading to more informed decisions.
During these discussions, focus on critical aspects such as scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Consider how different approaches can enhance these factors, such as leveraging cloud computing or modernizing the hosting environment. Assess each scoped application for specific requirements and characteristics to determine which 6R approach aligns best with your organization's goals and resources.
In SAP LeanIX, 6R classification can be easily documented in the Application Fact Sheet.
  1. Under the Portfolio Strategy section, hover over the 6R classification field.
  2. Click the Edit button on the right.
  3. Choose the appropriate classification from the 6R Strategy drop-down menu and save.


It is a good practice to also assess the complexity and priority of transformation efforts and fill in the respective field.
