Business Process Set up -  Begineer Questtion

In our company we are planning to implement business process and monitoring in coming months. I am from the basis admin group and would like to know from the system side what need to be done to implement the Business process  in SLM.
What my understanding is that Business Analysts create type of work flow using these Process to create a model of the business process . Once these work flow are created for each business process  ,IT can setup alerts on these process in order to timely react to the situation if some issue occur in any flow.
This what i am looking from experienced folks who have  implemented this in there company.
1. A more detailed information on this process from a Basis Admin point of view
2. What is required from System side to make SLM ready to implement Business Process
3. Any Document  or guide can someone provide when they had setup the environment or point to the URL
4. Any other information which one can think of someone who is beginner to understand this concept
Thanks

  • Customization and business process behind NRAB (free goods) condition type.

    Hi Experts,
    I am currently working on SAP DSD development. and for pricing procedure we are using ZCPB10 (beverage kalkulation).
    There is a condition type maintained NRAB for free goods .I had seen many threads explaining the concept behind it.
    But i am clueless about the customization and business process behind it.
    Can someone help me in customizing by giving an example ,so it would be very helpful for me to use .
    Regards
    Chinmaya

    Hi Lakshmi.
    The business process is pretty clear.We are selling 10 beer cans to the customer and charging for 8.So basically we need to get inclusive free goods.As per my understanding without going to free goods we can achieve this by NRAB condition type in our pricing procedure.
    So the point is how can i set it up or what is the configuration behind NRAB condition type so that it can act in our pricing procedure.

  • How to control the Business Processes of System Status in Proj. Def.?

    Dear Experts,
    When a Proj. Def. is in "Business Complete" System Status (CLSD), I would like to control no data is allowed to be changed, except undo the CLSD.
    In SPRO, I could onlly fine the similar setting in WBS status profile, but could not find system status profile for me to define and set which business processes is/are not allowed.
    Is there anyone know how to do so please?
    Thanks & regards,
    James Chan

    Dear Ivanna,
    Really thanks for your swift reply.
    In my system, when a Proj. Def. is in "CLSD" status, many of the fields are not grey-off for display only.
    Instead, most of the fields are allowed to change.
    In CJ20N, when I check on the "Transaction Analysis" of a project's status after "CLSD", I can see the "Create Change Document" is "Allowed".
    Is that the cause why most of the fields are allowed to change?
    How can I make it as "forbidden"?
    Thanks & regards,

  • Down payment process for Poland, new business process or not ?

    Hello,
    I'm a little bit confused about implementation down payment process for Poland.
    The OSS-notes 818079 and 1007635 describe a solution for this.
    How do I have to implement the correct down payment process for Poland ? Do I have to create an extra business process with new sales order type, new billing type, separate calculation procedure, new output type and so on ?
    Or is it possible to use existing business processes in sales and distribution for down payment processes ?
    Thanks in advance
    Holger

    hi,
    Check the process for down payment processing
    The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
    Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
    You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
    Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
    Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
    Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
    In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
    Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
    Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
    Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
    Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
    Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
    Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
    Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
    Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from
    the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
    Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
    You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
    Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
    Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the
    sales order as an optional field !!!
    Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

  • How do I put a timestamp in a form field in a business process?

    At a specific step in the process, when a user approves a form, I would like to put their name and a timestamp in a text field that is locked.  I think there are some different ways to do this, but each has their own issues.
    Javascript in form:
    I could do this via javascript before the form is submitted, but how do I know which step in the process we are in?
    Business Process:
    I don't think I can directly access the form from the process.  I can read from the form, but cannot set values, correct?
    Custom Render Process:
    I have a custom render process but I would need to extract all the data from the form, merge with the xml for the new field, then merge back in with the document.  Not sure how to do this.
    Any ideas on what the best way to handle this would be?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can use the executeScript component to set the timestamp in the form or varible. Mention below is an example to get the timestamp in dd/MM/yyyy format.
    java.text.DateFormat dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(
                    "dd/MM/yyyy");
    java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
    String datetime = dateFormat.format(date);
    System.out.println("Current Date Time : " + datetime);
    patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("xpath of the form field or variable", datetime);

  • Monitoring proxy abap in business process monitoring

    Hi
    Expert. Iu2019m working with Business Process Monitoring in my Solution Manager 7.0 sp20.
    I would to monitor the communication between SAP ECC and SAP PI.
    SAP ECC and SAP PI communicate by proxy.
    I would know if can I monitor the proxy abap using SAP PI Message Error Monitoring based on Message-Based-Alerting (RWB).
    I have just defined the alert category in abap stack and in RWB. In RWB I have inserted all information in u201CConditionsu201D fields  and in the u201CWhere did the error occur?u201D fields I have chose:
    Integration engine : XI Proxy
    Error Code: *
    Is this the correct procedure to monitor a proxy abap?
    Thanks a lot
    Giou2019

    Hello Giovanni,
    The described procedure looks correct in general. If you have set any restrictions in "Conditions" fields than you will only monitor on these specific message. If not all message will be considered which turn into a error status on the ABAP Proxy.
    For information regarding the PI/XI Message Based Alerting please refer to service.sap.com/bpm -> Media Library -> Technical Information "Setup Guide - Interface Monitoring".

  • Business process (Integration) monitoring - Solution Manager?

    Hi Experts
    I have a requirement here for business process monitoring at my client. The client wants to have a solution for monitoring of few key business processes for example incoming orders. The flow data flow is as follows: third party system -> AS2 -> XI1 ->XI2 -> MQ->ERP. Ideally, all the incoming messages should be processed within 3 minutes of sending by thirdy party system. The basic requirement from business to have a view of the number of messages sent by the external system and numbers of orders created in the system and if there is any message with processing time of more than 3 minutes, it should be reported. Also, if there is any failure in any of the points of failure - the reason of failure needs to be reported
    I am thinking of using solution mnaager diagnostics and willy introscope for collecting data from XI Adapter framweork and Integration engine and the ERP system.
    My queries -
    Can solution manager fetch the data from non SAP system - AS2 service/MQ etc? if yes, how?
    The solution i am thinking of - is it good one or is there any better solution - light weight/performance efficient?
    In case i go ahead with the approach mentioned above, would there be an extra licensing cost for installing SMD agents and Willy on different applications?
    Can we do a simple reporting i ERP system by fetching data from XI1 & XI2 systems? I understand that it wouldnt give us any details of the Java components or non SAP applications, but keeping in mind the limitations, is it a viable solution?
    Any inputs would be great.
    Regards

    HI Ethan,
    I'm not sure about the BPMon framework in Sol MAn 7.0 if it can be used with PI or not. I remember from teched that the end-to-end monitoring for PI was available only in 7.1 and with SAP PI 711.
    From what I know wily gives you information about the status on the system (CPU, memory consumption etc) and not about the message flow so you can still use it but for the technical monitoring set up.
    Also in teched I have participated at a hands-on workshop (ALM361 [http://www.sapteched.com/emea/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=542]) where we enabled the BPMon framework to use webservices provided by a non-sap application.
    Hope this helps.

  • Monitoring Types on Business Process Monitoring

    Hi All
    I am currently busy with setting up business process monitoring in our company.
    I have gone through all the steps and am currently at a stage where I have to test the monitoring types.
    Can anyone please explain what kind of information is required on the monitoring types and if you can also give me a brief explanation on the different kinds of monitoring types and what exactly the do because when I am trying to set them up, nothing is happening and I am not getting any alerts.

  • Business Process Monitoring - Application Monitoring help.

    Hi all,
    Through Business Process Monitoring, I am trying to configure monitoring on table NAST, so that an alert will be generated for Billing documents print outputs (application=V3, transm. medium=1) on specific message types, if the processing status is equal to either 0 (not processed) or 2 (incorrectly processed).
    I have configured this through application monitoring, using the 'Messages (Output Determination)' monitoring object. Under this,  was able to configure the 2 key figures of "unprocessed messages" and "incorrectly processed messages" with the parameters mentioned above (application and message type).
    I set the yellow alert threshold to 1, and the red alert threshold to 2, as I want to be notified each time a print output goes into status 0 or 2, and that a red alert be generated in the case where 2 or more print outputs are not successful.
    However, upon activation of this monitoring, I came across the following issue: The table NAST already has over 40 historic entries of unprocessed and incorrectly processed messages for these message types. The monitoring is picking up all these entries right away, and therefore a red alert is being generated.
    There does not appear to be a way to configure the monitoring to only look for new entries in the table matching the criteria, e.g. look for billing docs with status = incorrectly processed during the last 24 hours. It seems that unless the existing entries in the table NAST are either deleted or have their status changed to "processed", the monitoring will always pick up these entries and report a red alert, even if no new entries are discovered.
    Does anyone know how a way of configuring a date range with this type of monitoring, or do I have to modify the existing entries in the table (either delete them, change their status or set the "disregard" indicator on the messages in the table) before this monitoring will work as I hoped it would?
    Secondly - a more general point - although there are lots of good documents on configuring Business Process Monitoring, I have not yet found one which gives full details on all the different types of application monitoring available, and how each of them can be configured. I know that within Application Monitoring, when you choose a monitoring type, the grey box at the top half of the screen gives some good information on what the monitoring does and how to configure it, but a document which captures all these monitoring types in one place would be very useful - if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance for any help with the first issue above,
    Regards,
    John

    Hi John,
    you get an overview about all available key figures in the PPT "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information. It lists all Monitoring Object and Key Figures with Select-Options. There is no document that describes the setup of every key figure as the setup is too similar for most objects. Therefore the grey text boxes within the tool.
    The NAST collector will always pick-up everything older than x days. So you would have to process or delete the olde entries. But it is a good advise that for this rather technical key figure we should think about a delta mechanism like with our IDOC or ABAP dump monitor.
    Best Regards

    Hi Matt,
    Check the following in your process:
    - If you have gateways in your process, ensure that all the paths have conditions and atleast 1 default path for gateway is set
    - Check for Process Administrator assignment and TaskLevel/Lane level potential owners are assigned
    - Check for the i/o mapping of tasks
    - Check the Problem View for th errors.
