Business Process Stages ?

Dear Friends,
I am very new to SAP HR, but I took crash course in Germany and am actively looking for jobs as a sap hr functional consultant and my core interest is PM/OM/Benefits.
Please can tell me more about business process? Why it is required? What does mean by business process? How long it takes time to prepared business process and how many team members will be involved in gathering requirement. How many stages in business process?
Details response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sameer.

Hi Sameer
In a SAP HR project as BPX it would be very important to follow the steps of standard SAP ASAP methodology:
1) Project preparation - (project scope and project planning)
2) Business Blueprint - To be - functional business requirements analysis
3) Application Blueprint - Technical requirements for developers - gap analysis
4) Realization - Customizing and custom abap development
5) Final preparation - Unit and user tests - transports and roll out in PRD
Hope it helps
Reward points if helpful

How to hide business process stage on page load in crm 2013

Please tell me how to hide process stage on page load in crm 2013.
for example: Develop, Propose,Quotation... these are business process stages and I have a custom field named "type"
If type value =1 then hide Propose stage

Hello,
That is not possible. What I would suggest is to create several processes for same entity and switch between them using plugin. Sample code for it -

Triggering plugin with change of Business Process stage

Hi All,
Can I trigger a plug-in when a business processes stage is changed.
My requirement is: I want a plug-in to fire when I click on Next Stage of business process. Is it possible. If so how?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for reply.
So, which way do you suggest in order to achieve "assign a 'Stage Category' to each stage within your business process flow".

Business blueprint stages

hi friends
pls explain the business blue print stages and each stage senarious of business process stages.
regards
shiva

Hi,
Brif view about blue print is as under:
In this phase you document and define the scope of your R/3 implementation and create the Business Blueprint. The Business Blueprint is a detailed documentation of your company's requirements in Winword format. Application consultants and the Business Process Teams achieve a common understanding of how the enterprise intends to run its business within the R/3 System, by carrying out requirements-gathering workshops.
During Phase 2, the project team completes R/3 Level 2 training; this is recommended as early as possible and before the workshops start.
Fig. : Elements of the Business Blueprint
The project team selects the processes that best fit your business from R/3's functional offering

Billing - release to accounting
[Check the document flow in table VBFA ]
Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

Business Process and sub Process IN ERM and CUP

Hi Friends,
We are in intial stage of GRC implimentation. Now I am uploading the roles into ERM and CUP. I have defined business processes and sub processes for the roles and upload the roles successfully in ERM. But when I am doing the same excercise in CUP especially during creation of sub process it is not allowing the charecter "-" in the name space.
E.g. Business process name is EHS-SM (Uploaded to CUP)
Sub process name is EHS-SM1.1 (not allowing to create in CUP wher as successfully created in ERM)
My question is
1. why it allows me to do the same thing in ERM but not in CUP.
2. Is there any way to maintain the name with chaecter "-".
For your information I am in the phase of defining the attributes for the roles.
Thanks & Regards,
Satyabrat

Hi all,
I will have a hard time ahead with BP and SBP. all are in the same format. I dont think my company will agree to change the name of there BP or SBP because they are thousands in count and also there is no other way around in GRC,
Let give me a try...
Thanks Guys for your support and time.

Business Process Management Tool Evaluation ARIS or Systems Architect?

Hi Group
I have joined this community yesterday, so I am pretty much new here.
I work as a Business Process Analyst for a semi govt company. I have been tasked for evaluating a tool for business process management.
Current scenario is as under:
1) We are using Microsoft visio as a mapping software
2) BPMN standards for process modelling
3) The design phase of our new ERP software will be starting soon.
4) My company has got vision to become BPM company over the years, we are at very early stage of it.
The questions I have are,
1) Is it worth getting ARIS or System Architect at this stage only for modelling. If now what are the justifications?
2) Based on your experience what are the steps involved in evaluating such tools
3) How hard is it to import those visio drawings into ARIS or System Architect
Your response is much appreciated
Thanks
Hemal

Hi,
My view (I work as an Enterprise Architect for a very large Resources Company).
Visio is a drawing tool. It produces nice diagrams and drawings which have no real connection with the process objects, or system objects they represent. typically an organisation ends up with 1,000's of these e diagrams which end up all having to be maintained (and usually are not) so quickly end up being largely out of date and useless.
Tools like ARIS and other BPM tools, are purpose built Modelling tools. The Process Models built, and each and every object they are composed of are stored in a single, searchable and reportable object oriented database. Each object (if the tool is implemented correctly) has exactly 1 original keyed by a Globally unique Identifier. Other occurrences or copies of that object can be created that are used in multiple places, in multiple processes. Hence maintenance should be easier. If a change is required to the object, change it in one place only, and its automatically also updated in all the other object copies or occurrences. try that with Visio.
Further, if the models are created using the required and correct notation (for example BPMN or BPEL, then they may be exported into or integrated into application or execution layers that support these notations. Usually this is a part automatic, and part manual process. Hence the BPM models are living representations (not 100% but at least some %) of the running code or processes in your systems.
Eventually the nirvana will be when this model to execution paradigm is 100% automated, for 100% of business processes, across any platform or system architecture required. A good dream eh!
The proviso is that all this is designed, built and governed correctly. Like most things, the idea can be good, but the execution bad.
There are several examples of BPM Modelling tools that are available as free downloads. Savvion, Tibco and Intallio are 3 that come to mind that do this. Perhaps try one or more?
ARIS has the advantage that it is more integrated with SAP than any of the others.
The other think that has influenced us toward ARIS is that SAP now use it internally (so I am told) to define and govern the services that end up in their products. the Process is called PIC (Process Integration Content).
There is a separate thread on it Do SAP Plan to Productise the PIC Internal Process for Customers & ISV's?.
Hope this helps.

Business Process Role Design

Hi all,
I am infant in SAP world. I am looking for best practices or templates in order to define and document business process roles. Our strategy is to create roles by function. Look at the company organization chart and the various functions and accordingly roles. I am in charge of doing the functional documentation. I wanted to know if anyone has experience in document business function role design or a template that they can share.
I would appreciate any help in this area. Thanks.
Regards,
Sara

A.General
1.
Expression of one's responsibility would not dwell merely on actions but end results!
2
Responsibilities may be Technical,Administrative,Functional,Managerial,Financial and so on.
It is better to classify for better understanding and to assign priority.
3
The document describing the Role would serve for reference, for training, for evaluation of performance and many more.
B.Carrying out the task
Having realized the significance of designing the Role some of points to be kept in view are as follows:
1
A template may contain the following heads:
- Role title/Designation/Position name
- Summary of responsibilities
- Equipment/Budget level/People/Places for which responsible
- Activities in the Role
- Out put of the Role's function
- Internal/external customers
2
To design business process roles, one must know the processes in greater detail collected by reading, visiting,discussing, interviewing concerned people.
3
Details may be collected by asking simple questions and eliciting simple answers. The answers may relate to Planning, Doing, Checking.
High order terms must be avoided at this stage.
4
When the out come of one level activities is described in higher level abstraction, it becomes the responsibility of the higher level.This way, role description in one level after another is built up.
5
The out put of one Role must be input for another role.One must be conscious of this while describing a role.This is helpful to the business.

Business process-BUSES

Sirs, My project is the related to the Manufacturing, industrie BUSES , Under this one what we can say as the BUSINESS PROCESS,(how to the intial stage comes to work in, and how to the finished completed structure) please what have ur valuble suggestion..... help

Dear Ameer,
ASAP Methodology
Forward Media has adopted ASAP (Accelerated SAP) as its methodology of choice for SAP implementations, upgrades and module additions.
Our in-depth knowledge of ASAP allows us to customise and streamline ASAP to suit widely varying project requirements. For example - while ASAP was originally conceived as an implementation methodology, Forward Media has found ways to apply its strengths to the smaller tasks of SAP upgrades and new module additions. Innovations such as these have become part of standard and offically endorsed ASAP methodology.
Our involvement with the ASAP methodology began in 1996, when Forward Media Director Nadia Ward worked extensively with SAP America on the creation of the original ASAP methodology. Nadia led the technical component of the first commercial trial of ASAP in an implementation for CFS in New York - in the process contributing several operational templates to the ASAP toolkit.
ASAP Phases
The ASAP methodology structures the project lifecycle into five phases which run sequentially from project start to project completion. These standard ASAP phases are:
1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realisation
4. Final Preparation
5. Go-Live and Support
Concurrently with these ASAP phases, we also run a series of continuous processes which cover the types of activities which, by their nature, transcend individual phase boundaries (eg: Quality Assurance) or which require activity throughout the project lifecycle (eg: Knowledge Transfer).
These continuous processes identified as necessary for most SAP projects:
1. Quality Assurance
2. Data Migration
3. Basis
4. Knowledge Transfer
5. Cutover Planning
6. Project Accelerators
Together, the ASAP phases and our continuous processes define the broad outline of our approach for SAP projects.
Project Management Toolkit
Forward Media has a series of Project Management tools in addition to those sourced from ASAP that we make available to our clients. These include templates such as our:
 Project Plan Template (for SAP Implementations and Upgrades)
 Data Conversion Strategy
 Cutover Plan
 ABAP specifications
 Test Scripts
 Client Landscape
 Change Management Strategy
 Month End Schedule
 Issues Log
 Phase 1: Project Preparation
 Phase 2: Business Blueprint
 Phase 3: Realization
 Phase 4: Final Preparation
 Phase 5: Go Live & Support
Phase 1: Project Preparation
In this phase of the ASAP Roadmap, decision-makers define clear project objectives and an efficient decision-making process. Here Project Organization and roles are defined and implementation scope is finalized.
System landscape and Technical Requirement
 Infrastructure need (Hardware/interfaces): Available- QuickSizing Service: to be accessed via SAPNet
 System Landscape
 High level strategies for client
 Archiving strategy
Issues Database:
Issues must be resolved before phase completion ot before beginning of the next phase. The issues can be
 Unanticipated tasks
 Normal tasks that can not be completed
 External factors that need to be dealt with.
Issues database allows the project team to enter, track and report on project issues.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint
In this phase scope of the R/3 implementation is defined & Business Blueprint is created. Business Blueprint is a detailed documentation of companys requirements.
Various tools are used in this phase.
 AcceleratedSAP Implementation Assistant
 Question & Answer Database (Q&Adb)
 Business Process Master List (BPML)
 R/3 Structure Modeler
 Business Navigator and external modeling tools
Project Management:
Activities nagement:in this work package are:
 Conducting Status meeting for project team
 Conducting steering committee meetings
 General project management
 Addressing organizational issues relating to organizational change management.
Other activities include:
 Project Team Training
 Developing the System Environment
 Defining Organizational Structure
 Defining the Business processes
R/3 reference model can be used for
 Comparing the standard functionality with your companies own organizational requirements
 Creating documentation for the conceptual design
 Optimizing business processes
 Training the project team and users
 Writing user documentation
Question and Answer Database can be used to determine
 The Baseline Scope
 Cycle Plan
 Integration test Plan
Phase 3: Realization
The purpose of Phase 3 is to configure the R/3 system. The configuration is carries out in two steps; baseline configuration & Final configuration.
Business Process Master List (BPML) is created in phase 2 as a report from Q&A database. It is used to identify, plan, schedule and monitor the configuration and testing of all R/3 scenarios and processes within the scope of an implementation. BPML is a representation of the R/3 business and transactions that are contained within the scope of the project. BPML is feeds all business information to all subsequent worksheets.
Implementation Guide (IMG):
It is the main tool for setting the parameters to configure or Customize R/3 during the realization phase. IMG reflect the chronological order in which the customizing activities are carried out.
The following aspects of configuration are also to be considered:
 Defining authorizations in the R/3 system
 Defining workflows
 Creating user documentation
System Manager Procedures
 Developing system test plans
 Defining service level commitment
 Establishing system administration functions
 Setting up Quality Assurance environment
 Defining the design of the productive system
 Defining system management procedures for the productive system
 Setting up the productive environment
At the end of this phase, Project Manager must check the status of deliverables for completeness and accuracy. This internal quality check should be carried out in addition to an external, independent third party Quality Audit.
Preparation for end-user training needs to be gone through and approved at and of this phase.
Phase 4: Final Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation of the R/3 system for going live. This includes testing, user training, system management and cutover activities, to finalize your readiness to go live.
In this phase the R/3 system is handed over to individual departments for productive operation. This includes preparation of end-user documentation and training the end-users. The technical environment is installed on production system & is tested. Project managers prepare plans for going live, transfer of legacy data and support at early stages.
End-user training is a critical activity for success of the project. InfoDB may be used to plan for the User Training activities. Computer Center Management System (CCMS) must be set at this time. Simulation of productive operation system & testing the same is of great important.
The test plan contains the following activities
 Testing conversion procedures and programs.
 Testing interface programs
 Conducting volume & stress testing
 Conducting final user acceptance testing
 Developing a final go-live strategy.
The Computer Aided Test Tool (CATT) can be used to automate test sequences for key business processes.
Phase 4 also provides for the testing of the disaster recovery plan for the productive environment. Disaster downtimes are verified and details on de-escalation.
Phase 5: Go Live & Support
This phase is concerned with supporting and optimizing the operative R/3 system.
Following activities are carried out
 Production support facilities are defined.
 Validation of business processes and their configuration.
 Follow-up training for users
 Signoffs etc.
During phase 5, the first EarlyWatch session should be held, where experts from SAP analyze the systems technical infrastructure. The aim is to ensure the system functions as smooth as possible.
Version upgrades should be planned whenever found necessary. AcceleratedSAP contains a continuous roadmap, with standard activities necessary after implementation. The tasks in that structure provide solutions for all known types of continuous change: Business changes, technology changes or changes in user community.
with regards,
B.Ravindranath

RFB Business Process

I am trying to add a RFB based business process. This is for a Bid Process we are trying to create. I have set it up and successfully imported it to the Stage as well as Production environment. I can successfully configure it as well. the issue comes up when I try to load this BP on a template or a project. The BP never shows up in the list of new BP's to be loaded. Has anyone worked with RFB processes before. please help.

I use the User Mode Navigator. By items to be viewed you mean adding to the User Mode Navigator rite? I have done that. If this helps there is a different business process which I pushed along with this RFB process at project/Shell level itself and that can be loaded onto the projects. Its is only this one particular project that does not show up.

Dear Mandar,
I will put the format of traceability matrix in Wiki as lot of people have requested me for this. Weightages we use for evaluating differences between client's expected std processes and builiding block (SAP ) std processess again depends on the interaction between client and the consulting company. As the more deviation is more standard proces, the more is the cost to develop and further maintain Z-functionalities.
A method used to validate the compliance of a process or product with the requirements for that process or product. The requirements are each listed in a row of the matrix and the columns of the matrix are used to identify how and where each requirement has been addressed.
Basic details of Traceability Matrix:
Description
A table that traces the requirements to the system deliverable component for that stage that responds to the requirement.
Size and Format
For each requirement, identify the component in the current stage that responds to the requirement. The requirement may be mapped to such items as a hardware component, an application unit, or a section of a design specification.
BASELINE TRACEABILITY MATRIX
Description
A table that documents the requirements of the system for use in subsequent stages to confirm that all requirements have been met.
Size and Format
Document each requirement to be traced. The requirement may be mapped to such things as a hardware component, an application unit, or a section of a design specification.
Traceability Matrix Table (Sample)

You could try the link below in SAP marketplace. Its interesting to see what is going on in the SAP - MS DUET space now as they are starting to bring some ESS/MSS capability (Org Management, Time & Attendance) to the desktop. At some stage you would want to view the SAP master guides for HCM contained within mySAP ERP 2005.

Just in case you do not have a marketplace id here are some additional SAP links that provide HCM information on SAP Solution Offerings , No ID required

Loans Business Process

Hi Experts,
Can anyone give me a business process overview of Loans from SAP perspective? I am totally clueless about Loans and I want to know how its done from HR perspective as well as SAP perspective.
Like what are the stages for Loans in SAP. I want to know specifically about amortization, annuity, annuity pattern, debit interest rates etc. How is the interest rate made through configuration is arrived at, etc. II don't need the definition of these terms. I want to know them in the context of Loans from SAP perspective... I hope you know what I'm trying to say.
Thank you.
Regards
Olekan

Loans IT0045
This infotype will take care of Loans which were Given to an Employee from the employeer and at the same time the employer can recollect the amount given to the Employeer in the form of installment and interest
IT0045
Consists of three tabls
Amount given by the employeer in the first tab Basic data
Note in this tab Loan amount paid , Loan Amount balance, End of load feilds will be updated obly after running actual pay roll
and we cannot see the feilds in the adhoc query
Next tab is conditions
you will select the loan is interst or without intrest free in this tab along with Repayment start date Repayment installment
and also u can see the icon ABACUS here
and third tab Payment
Here you will select the mode of Payment such as External or internal
External the Amount will be paid by FICO through Check so in that case it shd not include in Pay slip or pay roll at that thime you can opt this procedure
internal means standrad
there are some more payment methods in this tab please have a details look over it
and now the back end configuration
XLOZ is the PCR which has to be modefied check the below explanation
say u r haveing two loan types
1 Houseing Loan
2. Personal Loan
for IT0045 create two sub types 9001 for Houseing Loan 9002 for Personal Loan
u can chec the same in the Configuration
now
for Houseing Loan copy two wage types
9021 from /Lop Loan payment
9022 form /LRP loan Repayment
do same for Personal Loan
now go to XLOZ rule in PE02
Copy it as ZLON
under the node /LOP that is loan payment
make
add L9001 this is ur subtype for Houseing loan
under that ADDWTE9021 as this is ur wage type for Loan Payment
the same logic applicable for /LRP here u have to keep 9022
Still any doubt please let me know
