2 Logical Components for 1 Business Process Step

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to assign in SolMan --> transaction Solar01 - Tab Structure - Business Process Step, 2 logical components for 1 business step. When creating the business step I have to assign 1 specific logical component to this step. Once I have done this I can only select the chosen logical component ffor SAP Transactions, configuration object etc.. As my business step is running on 2 different systems I need to find a way to link transactions etc. in the step to the different systems. Is there any way to change this for the Level 3 elements, like it is for level 2 (business processes) where I can choose in the different tabs between all the logical components?
Thanks in advance

I've seen people use some absolute craziness to get more than three levels. The most extreme being using multiple projects at the highest level (i.e. a project for PTP Accounts Payable). Don't go there.
I personally like to have 1 transaction per process step. Don't use the transaction tab as another process level, use it to better describe the process step (like all the other tabs are uses). It results in a better understanding of the system as you go forward. To do that I make teams break up things they think are one step (this can take some arm twisting, so hit the gym and maybe take a few judo classes).
This allows you to use SolMan in more powerful ways. For instance, if you attach development objects to a step with 5 transactions, you cannot tell which transaction is modified by the development object. However, one transaction per node provides you this link. There are other examples, but basically the "where used" button becomes very useful when you have 1 transaction per node.
Maybe you could provide a specific example of your process and we can think of a better way to collapse it.
Such as:
- PTP Non-Merchandise Purchasing
-- Expense Purchasing
--- Create Purchase Requisition
--- Create Purchase Order (Assign Vendor & Price)
--- Send to Vendor
--- Post Goods Receipt
--- Perform LIV
--- Process Payment
Some companies have 6 level processes already defined in models and putting it into SolMan can be a pain for sure. Your naming convention is usually the best route.

The system role and template work around doesn't apply to your situation.

Business Process Step properties not loading

Hi All,
I believe the problem is apparent enough from the topic itself . After i create a Business process and then decide upon the steps and later on when i try to load the properties of the individual steps its not getting loaded. i belive its not the problem with the momory sizing of the server as we have another server with much lower memory working well.
any sort of suggestions ... folks???
regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
This problem is because the Metadat has nt been imported correct.
Ask your BASIS team to reimport the SAP Basis SWCV corresponding to your SP level in the IR .
This would do the trick.

Business Process steps

Gurus,
Can anybody give me the steps of capturing different activity costs (at a defined rate) through the cost object 'Business Process'? How is this process different from capturing activity costs through production order?
Thanks in advance!!

Pls check IMPORT Mr Jayakumar's post is here for quick reference
1. First you create Import PO and input all the Import duties in PO in ME21N. Here specify Import Duties in PO and assign the Customs Vendor to all these condition types./
2.Then you do LIV for Customs Office in MIRO (Here you enter all the Import duties as per Bill of Entry) and following A/c entry get generated;
Customs Office A/c - Cr (Vendor Recon A/c)
Customs Duty Clearing A/c - Dr (OBYC - ZCC)
CVD Clearing A/c - Dr (OBYC - ZCV)
3. Then Capture Bill of Entry in J1IEX.
4. Then you do GR w.r.t. Import PO (MIGO), Accounting Entry will come as following;
Stock A/c - Dr (OBYC - BSX)
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr (OBYC - WRX)
Customs Clearing A/c - Cr (OBYC - ZCC)
5. Post Bill of Entry in J1IEX, and Accounting Entry will come as following;
CENVAT Receivable A/c (BED, ECS, SECess and ADC) - Dr (From Account Detmn of GRPO with Sub Trans Type - IP)
CVD Clearing A/c - Cr (From Compnay Code Settings of Excise)
6. MIRO - For Import Vendor
Import Vendor - Cr (Recon A/c)
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Dr (WRX)
7. MIRO - For Clearing Agent
Out of following conditions;
JCDB IN:Basic Custom Duty
JCV1 IN : CVD
JECV IN : Ed Cess on CVD
J1CV IN : H&SECess on CVD
JEDB IN : Ed Cess on BCD
JSDB IN : H&SECess on BCD
JADC Addnl Duty of Custom
JCDB, JEDB, JSDB will get loaded to Stock and JCV1, JECV, J1CV and JADC will get posted to CENVAT Receivable A/c
In M/08, assign A/c Key ZCC to JCDB, JEDB, JSDB conditions and Customs Clearing A/c in OBYC and A/c Key ZCV to JCV1, JECV, J1CV and JADC conditions and CVD Clearing in OBYC.
Note: - Here you don't have to use Tax Procedure Accounting (OB40) in case of Imports. Only maintain a Zero % Tax Code in Import PO.

Business process step for BW

Dear friends,
I wants to generate business blueprint for BW implementation through sol Man 4.0. In t.code SOLAR01,i want to maintain structure under Business process level.
But could not find any suitable process related to BW.
I am getting only processes like Product dev & introduction, sales, procurement,production etc...from BPR. But i am NOT getting business processes for BW related from BPR.
How to select standard Business processes for BW from BPR?
Plz guide me
Thanks
Senthil

Hi Kathir,
We are having two kind of CD in best practice.
1. Documentation CD
2.Configuration CD
Configuration CD is the one, it contains building blocks. This CD will be used to upload the best practices into solution manager. so that it will appear as template in scope.
But for BW, i can not find config CD. means we can not upload best practice in to sol man. Is it so?
Thanks

Effective Language for Business Process Modelling in a Web Community

It's a very exciting idea of having business process definition/innovation a community driven process.
Just Imagine a stituation where somebody can innovate a process on a theoritical level which is then perfected by business community opinion/examples for benchmarking, effectiveness, relevance etc.
The ultimate business community dream would be Finding their process in the community. Finding merits and demerits of their process. Explore for a refinement to the process. Getting a copy of their newly created process and
droping it into their IT system and the wonderful IT system upgrading itself to the new process and executing it.
The Impact of simplification would be enormous:
Just check out the possibilities
Every businessman would be an IT user to get ideas for business and business execution
The IT Guy would be recognized as process maker
For a business entity Presentation during AGM could be extra transparent :-).
A very concrete step in this direction would be to have a language or tool which is very easy to understand and drives people for exploration.
My Wish would be a Visual web tool which defines a specific business process in the most simple form, and from there somebody can explore the enhancements to the process.
For example a simple selling process done in medicine shop is
listening the order verbally , delivering it immediately, getting cash immediately and [typing the Invoice on XL or Word or POS machines], printing it and then giving to Customer.
after selecting this business process on the tool one should be able to explore the possible process
enhancements with known business benefits
like
a) offer credit facility to customer--> just a worklist to collect pending money
b) take order now and supply later for non available medicines
c)Start home delivery
The businessman should be able to select (1) or (2) which then becomes his new process.
This can be sent to his IT landscape which should be able to interprete it and then grow itself Ah....
dreaming
[or atleast the model should tell the IT guy what to do!!].
The generic business Process enhancements Options are not too many and can be defined and classified
See the Options in the above mentioned business process context
1)Automation[Create Purchase order from ]
2)Increasing depth [The above example a,b,c are for increasing depth]
3)Step simplification[In the above example instead of word using the POS Machine is simple]
4)Resource utilization[If you have a PC and don't want to buy POS Machine then type the invoice on a Word :-)]
5)Delegation
5)Workforce optimization {any examples :-)community driven}
7)Process optimization (How to deliver the medicine route wise)
8)Colloboration (Using courier to send medicine)
9)Knowledge provision (giving sales/payment trends,)
The idea is so simple but making this tool highiely context(business) sensitive and intuitive is challenge.
But anyway it's not impossible to have a business process language which is effective and an IT systems for which starting point is a business process. The IT system which takes your business process and executes them
wonderfully.
looking forward for this future
Anand

Hi Dilip,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I'm also interested to know from community what are different tools used by them for process modelling?
What are their merits?
1)are they easily understandabale
2) do they come with business context
3)whether they can be used in a web comunity? Like somebody can give feedback or business case for a particular business process/step.
4)Does it drive the IT automation
5)Are there any appservers which take business model and generate/grow applications
6)How the different modelling applications should communicate?
7)Common standards
For example
I have used rational rose and RAD like VB they are complicated/simple enough to generate model based applications but the business representation and business context is totally missing. I would seek something with more business context or knowledgebase.

Business Process Repository is sometimes confusing on transaction tab

I am Using SOLAR01. While creating scenarios and especially business processes by using BPR content, sometimes no transactions are listed in transactions TAB for a business process, but transactions are listed in business process steps. And in contrast sometimes the transactions are listed on Business process level and missing in Business process steps. This is confusing.
We are using SOLMAN 4.0 with ST-ICO-150 content.
An ECC6 system is assigned to project.
For example:
I choose as scenario 'Procurement and Logistics execution process for ERP' from standard BPR content.
System provides me a huge list of Business Processes.
I activate Business process 'Outbound process with WM' and goto Transactions tab. I see no transactions. But Process steps are included like 'Create Delivery' and on steps level there are transactions listed.
Same thing with most of the business processes in this standard BPR derived scenario.
Another example in contrast (for same BPR derived scenario):
I activate Business process 'Purchase Requisition with Service Directories' and goto Transactions tab. I see MANY transactions. Process steps are included like 'Release purchase requisition' and on steps level there are NO transactions listed.
In fact, the cases when transactions are available on Business process level have 'Execute' icon before the BP name in the structure tree on left-hand side area.
Can somebody explain me, why transactions from BPR content are assigned sometimes on BP level and sometimes on BP step level. In my opinion they should be on both levels. BP level should contain all transactions and BP step level only those transaction relevant for that step.
BR: Kimmo

Kimmo,
We are using the BPR content to develop process flows using ARIS for NetWeaver. Our experience is very similar to yours, to the extent that we hired an SAP consultant to help us map transactions back down to the process steps.
In the end, the value of the BPR is diminished if the transactions are not properly mapped to the process steps. We have found very few SAP experts who are even aware of the BPR (this includes actual SAP staff), but all are familiar with the transactions required to run the software. For an architect looking to have business processes designed with referenced objects the BPR is invaluable. How I long for the days of the ASAP R/3 reference model!

Defining the Business Process Structure

Dear All,
I am defining the Business Process Structure in SOLAR01.. by default we will get the following Structure
Project
               Master Data
               Organization Structure
               Business Scenario
                               Business Process
                                           Business Process Step
My Question here is , i want to add some node on parallel to to Business Scnario and Business process. as per my knowledge it is not Possible . But you guys did something on this please let me know.
Project
               Master Data
               Organization Structure
               Business Scenario
               non-SAP business scenario
                               Business Process
                                           Business Process Step
                               non-SAP business process
                                           Business Process Step
Could some expert suggest on this ?

Dear Prakash,
In solution manager till EHP1 it is not possible to meet what is ur requirement but you can do the following as an alternative
Project
Master Data
Organization Structure
Business Scenario Std Selected from BPR e.g Service Desk
Business Process std
Business Process Step Std
Business Scenario Non Std Directly entered the name of scenario in Structure tab e.g any Zscenario
Business Process Non std ( you need to add here the process for zscenario)
Business Process Step Non Std ( you need to add here the process step for z*)
But if you very specific to go with 4 main nodes as you said then you need to modify the standard with ABAP Developement and there is no alternative.
Hope it clarifies.

Resource for R/3 functional processes and table structures

Dear Experts,
I want to have brief but concise understanding of R/3 modules in aspects of business process flows, table important table structures. Ideally, the document or book should phrase it in a way easy for non-functional people to understand. I am sure as Abap Developers, you gurus have to understand business processes & tables all the time. Appreciate some help here. I am even willing to pay a sum for such resource.
My contact : [email protected]

Hi Bryan,
There's one PDF file on the web which I think is okay. Here's he link -

Who gives the list that contains which business process is to be implemente

hi ,good morning to all
i have a question
that is how a solution consultant comes to know that which business process/which business process step is to be implemented in particular scenario? (for eg nw ep)

The Business process represents the various activities [processes] involved in attaining a business goal.
For example,in a procurement scenerio,
1] The goal is procurement.In system we have to map this thro'Transaction code/s.
2] This [ procurement] process involve various activities such as [a] getting indent from the user dept <b> getting financial approval [specific /standing] [c] floating the tender /RFPs etc [d] getting the quote from the vendors [e]finalizing the vendor [f] placing the purchase order [g] recieving and inspecting the goods <i> pay the vendor.
Like this,for every scenerio/process we have the relevant activities.
Before SAP implementation the client performs the Business process Re Engineering [BPR] and correctly defines the various process/s and the relevant activities.Before implementation the cosultant performs a detailed discussion with the user group and obtains process flow chart and other relevant details.Thus the detail_ gathering is a culmination of interactive discussions with the client,the info.being provided by the client by means of standard documents,flow-charts etc,the experience and judgenment of the consultant.
This gives an idea about the whole scenerio.
Having known this,we can map in to the system using a T/code[relevant to each activity-say automatic paymentT/code.F110] and interpret the whole process in terms of T-codes.
The users test this using unit test and the integration test [ MM-FI interface using Account determination, for example] and verifies if the process has been mapped in full and correctly.The test once passed shows that you have configured adequately Vis A Vis the business requirements.
This is how the process in full is understood [by the consultant] and mapped in to SAP.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Please avoid adding comments like this

I think this many questions to answer will be difficult. hence next time try to post particular question only. try to search the fourm you may get lot of answers.
1. Return process is a common process in SD. Customer may be not satified with the deliveried goods or the deliverable is not what customer exactly want. In these case, customer want to initiate the return process.
SAP has provided standard steps for return process like RE order > return delivery LR > billing type RE.
2. If you want billing blck you can assign same thing in sales doument type RE, so when ever user creates RE order, it will put billing block at sales order header. You can assign aurthoruization approval for blling block release of user line manager.
3. You can create with refernce to F2 billing or you can create without refernce also, here when you create with refernce, system copies all information from F2 billing document like customer/material/price ect.
4. Systsem will determine storgae location with MARA/MALA rule.
5. Patner function will be same of F2 or customer, but goods recived inwards will happen with movemnt type
6. You can have return order output and credit for retunrs invoice output
7. G/L will be on your revence account determination like customer account will be credit and client accont debits
8. you need to test all above steps

Finding process steps from BPR - some process steps missing SAP tcodes

In Solution Manager 4.0, we are currently focusing on the documentation part and our teams have defined their respective hierarchies, scenarios, processes, and process steps.
When looking at our process steps, we are trying to download it from the BPR but it seems such an uphill battle to find the right process step in there and if you think you have it there are no transactions behind it.
My questions are:
1. Is there any way I can find a process in the BPR by transaction code so it will show processes by transaction code?
2. Any tips of finding the right process in the BPR?
3. If we are to manually add the process steps and the transactions by process step, what do we lose? In the structure tab of the business process, the source and original name will not be populated but looking at the transaction tab of the process step, after manually added, it looks fine. Will this at all influence getting the customization (configuration) items in SolMan?

Dear all,
The best way to find the process step in sol Man BPR is:
Let us consider one scenario:
You want to find business process step "Run MRP" from BPR. If you want to execute this process step, the relevant t.code is MD01. ( Let us assume You know this t.code already by memory).
Now enter this t.code in Sol Man, at business process step level. If you enter this t.code, automatically, the system will give you the "Description of the t.code (as a text)". This text is automatically fetched from BPR content. Copy this text & search in BPR.
Now , the system will properly highlight the t.code (MD01) from BPR. Now select the process from BPR.
Regards
Senthil
