Business Process book

I would like to know more about the business process on SAP. For example, from create a SO, then delivery, billing... what if the delivery goods have somethings wrong, then how to handle in general purpose. what if wrong posting, how to handle and so on. Actually, I would like to know the operation in best practices, not in technical side. Thanks!

Business Process - Sales Process through Distribution point but revenue booked to Manufacturing Profit Center

Dear Expats
Our company now planning to decentralized the sales by introducing Sales distribution Point.
We have three manufacturing plant and every manufacturing plant are individual profit center.
Material is same.
Now company is planning to introducing sales distribution point.
Goods transfer from three manufacturing plant to sales distribution point and sale from the distribution point.
Now our requirement is - revenue will be booked to every manufacturing profit center.
How can we process this business process.
Note : We don't want to create separate material code - manufacturing plant wise.
Regards
Tarek H Chy

Hi
I have the issue like..
1. For each line item of the sales order check, whether the profit center is filled or not, if it is not filled then determine the profit center and populate.
2. If material of the line item is "sub component code" of a material that is "Offering component code", then compare the profit centers of line item with the profit center maintained for the material that is offering component code. If the profit centers are different, replace the sales order line item profit center with the profit center of the offering component code material.
3. Above activities should happen when the sales order is saved.
can somebody tell me which user exit ?? where coding can be dine.

Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP

Hello APO process experts,
I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
I would really like your feedback,
thanks in advance!
JD Loera

Hello Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
Much appreciated

How to map the business process in account receivable

Hi All,
i am working on a different scenario can any body suggest me on this,
Business process my client is into service industry they will send Tenders to customer along with EMD amount,
once they got the project they will coverts that amount into securiy deposit,
for example:
EMD amount 1000000
got the project that amount goes to security deposit 1000000,
after work done they will rese invoice to that customer based on payment terms they will get money from customer,
if they rise 50000 invoice he will be sending 48000 rupess only remaing 2000 will be keep it as security deposit
and again they will rise 50000 he will be seding 48000 rupess only remaing 2000 will be keep it as secrity deposit once the project closed after six to eight month he will be sending that 4000 rupees.
here my client want that 4000 should not be shown as open item.
can any body suggest me how to do that in SAP
kind regards
kiran

Hi Kiran
As per the business scenario and the process in SAP, you are having only three options in clearing procudure as you may be aware.
1) standard - bill to total payment
2) partial - partial amount against invoice(Inovice and receipt will be in open item status)
3) residual ( new open item will be generated)
If they don't want to show the remaining 4,000 as open item in the customer account, how they want to treat in the books.
create a seperate G/L security deposits receivables and transfer the amounts to the account. Whenver you receive the amount knock off the amount

Build your RPD around business processes

Hi,
I have read many blogs and books around RPD and best practices. Many recommend building out the RPD around business processes. Refering to 11G. Currently my RPD development is still under development, not released to TEST or Production. My subject areas are layed out by Business Areas - Fact Table
EG:
- Supply Chain - Purchase Orders
- Supply Chain - Purchase receipts
- Supply Chain - Inventory
- Work Order - Parts List
- Work Order - Routing
- Work Order - WO Master
- manufacturing - Messages
etc...
Now I am debating if I should rebuild it by Business processes as now I want to do some multiple subject area reporting and having join issues (Casting Nulls) Just wondering on how others are building theirs, and issues your having or am I the only one building around tables instead of Process. We did not buy the OBIEE apps due to certain reasons.
Love to hear your setup's and thoughts,
Thanks!
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I think, it is best to build the Subject Areas around business processes than facts. Any reporting tool, is supposed to answer analytical questions for set of business questions which might have to be served from different facts.
A user might want to see his sales figures are for this month and look at the inventory at the same time, to check the availability. (Sorry if this was a bad example ;) ), which would need to join across subject areas if they are fact based.
Hope, you got my point and this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Difference between business process, sales process and order process

what is the difference between business process, sales process and order process?

Dear Gopala,
business process is a general definition of the process which you have:
for example, you get an order, you have no goods, but you can produce them, you start an assambly processing, the production order will be created, then the goods will be prepatred, then the delivery will be created, the goods issue booked then your customer gets thwe goods and send the delivery confirmation, you create an invoice etc.etc.
sales process is a part of a business process.
Sales process shows how you sell the goods, there are different sales document categories to do this: sales orders, contracts, scheduling agreements etc.
order process is only one of possibilities of the sales process.
Order process is used if you get really a one-time (or at lease not on a regular basis many times) the simple orders where your customer says what goods he would like to receive and when. Then you create a sales order (in dialog transaction VA01) and can create a delivery. There are different types of sales orders in the standard. The customizing of sales order types is available under the transaction VOV8.
I hope, this info help you a little bit further to understand SD design.
Kind regards,

Restart of incorrect business-processes

Hi,
I have the following situation:
An Order-IDOC (ORDER02) comes from our SAP-System. This Order runs into a business-process. I this process the first step is to split the 1 order with x Positions into x Orders with one position. Then the business-process runs into a block-step with dynamic sequenc, where for each of the x orders the same steps are run through. In this block, e.g. a jdbc-request to a thirs party system is made. All works fine. But now comes my problem: If this jdbc-request gets an error (if the system is not reachable), how can I restart only this erroreous part of the process ??? - It is not so easy to restart the wohle process, because the correct parts of the order are yet booked in the target system. It would be great if I could countinue on the point where the error occured.
Thanks a lot !!! - werner

Hi Werner,
The following transactions can help you,
SMQR or SMQ2 can be used to reset the status of queues.
SM58 can be used to resend the messages.
Hope it helps,

Diff. between business process masterlist and business process procedurelis

hello gurus,
pls tell me the main difference between business process master list and business process procedure list
so please help me in this matter.
regards,
muralidhar.t

hi,
Business process procdures ( normally called as BPP) are one which explain users how to perform a transaction or a series of transaction for carry out a business acitvity ( Like creating a PR, converting PR and releasing it).
Business procedure Master list ( called BPML ) is done in the begining of the project to define the scope and cover all the processes that the project will be covering . You will track all the deliverables on the project based on the BPML ( It will contain process and sub process descriptions )
Example : Order to cash --> Book order, Acknowledge order, Amend order, Ship , Bill, returns etc..)
Hope this should give you an idea. For details refer to implementation methodlogies ( like ASAP) .

Business Process for Managing Global Accounts

Hi
I would be interested to know how other people have managed accounts that are Global.
Currently the business in the US are using On Demand and EU are going live in Q1 2010, so I want to define a business process to manage Global accoounts that can then be applied in On Demand. Currently we are not using books
Has anyone used the Parent Account Function?
All Suggestions welcome
E

We use the Parent Account function as we work in Financial Services. I would say its perfect for our world but only use it if you business functions this way.
We have advisers who are licensed through a dealergroup each adviser appears below the dealergroup and both the dealergroup and Adviser have Contacts. All "Prospect" advisers are loaded as Contacts under the dealergroup until they load their first piece of business with the company and then they have an accounts created and i merge the associated contacts.
We also use books to hide accounts and contacts from different departments and users. I would say if you are planning to run this system in multiple countries this is a must.
Sorry that's just my world got abit carried away.

How do I use SE80 to view details of a Front Office Business Process?

Hello all,
I posted the following question in the ABAP general forum but did no reply was posted. So, I am hoping that experts in this forum may be able to help me with an answer.
I would like to use SE80 (or any other transaction for that matter (except EWBC)) to get details of a Front Office Business Process. By details I mean information about methods, programs and anything else that can help me debug a problem I am having with transaction EC20. I have used transaction EWBC but I cannot get details about programs behind a given step. I get a list of steps and container info. Double clicking on the actual thing does not get me anything, and SE80 does not seem to be able to give me the needed information either, or at least I don't know how to go about it. So, which category, which sub-category or which button will do the job please?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
First of all go to transaction EWFC and enter the right Front Office configuration.Go to the appropriate transaction group containing the button you want to investigate. Double click it and a new screen will pop up. On this screen there should be a radio button 'Method'. Next to this button you'll find a field with the object type. Copy this type ( eg. PREMISES) to your clipboard and open another modus.
Go to transaction SE80. In the left upper corner, a little under the text 'Object Navigator' there's a button 'Edit object'. Click this one. Go to the tab 'Business engineering' and select radio button 'Business object type'. Fill in the object type from the previous step and you'll find the interfaces, key fields, methods, events etc.
To customize this object you have to create a z-object derived from the main object. You can add methods, events etc. as you like!
Kind regards,
Stijn
