Business Process Template not show in costing result

Hi expert, I add a template in environment 001 use function tree - Materials to get 'MaterialNetWeight' , but nothing show in the costing result. I have maintained KTPF to Assign Templates for Cost Objects and Costing. Can anybody tell me how to config.

Have you maintained the Overhead Group in the Material Master?

Business process in activity base costing

Hi All,
We have implemented ABC to compute cost for sales order.
We defined business process & templates to compute the cost.
There is one scenario where I need expert advice.
For one of the cost element order to cash have 2 rates one is for a order & another is for a line item in that order.For bith rate we defined separate business process & accordingly mainatined rate in CP26.
In template selected function CalculationRowResult to calculate cost by considering an order as a one number. but we have one case where we want to calculate cost for each line item of sales order. EG if one order has 3 line items & rate is $1 then cost is
3*1=3.
Could anyone please tell me which function to use to calculate number of line items from an order? or there is any other standard method to calculate cost?
Thanks
Anagha

Hi,
Greetings,
I think, you have to understand the requirement and adaptabilty of ABC as well Activity price.
Each sale order will have atleast one Order item and Header.
Generally,header covers for all items and item specifically cover Sale order Item.
As I know in sale Order costing means Sale Order item costing.when other cost objects are linked with sale Order Item,
Settlement happens to SO item.
I request you, for my understanding,pl.confirm your intention to apply cost at header level and item level !
Please provide more inputs on contemplated scenario for better understanding of your problem.
Thanks - GS Rao

Error in actual template allocation for Business Process

Gurus,
I am facing a strange problem in actual template allocation for business process (T-code: CPAS). When I am doing a test run, the system gives the result with a message "Processing completed with no errors", However when I have unchecked the test run and ran the allocation, system shows me the result, however no posting takes place. The message I am getting is:
"Data not updated due to errors". The details of this error message are:
No information was found
Message no. GU444
Diagnosis
The system could not find the necessary information.
I am absolutely clueless and have no idea where things have gone wrong. I have maintained the activity and cost center properly. The template I am using is also ok.
Request your help on this. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi ,
With such kind of error " "Data not updated due to errors". " its very difficult so determine the exact cause of the issue .
Did your selection parameters in CPAS has a tick on detailed list . Please tick the detailed list icon and run KPAS again and let me know if you are getting more detailed error from SAP.

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
Ramó

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.

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

Difference between Business service, Business system and Business process

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference between Business service, Business system and Business process?
Thanks,
Harikumar. S

Hi,
Business system
It is a logical system from a business point of view.
One or more logical systems that belong together from a business point of view is called a group of Business system group. A business system group represents a unit within a company or organization that can be defined according to legal, economic, administrative or geographic factors.
The objects in a business system group are uniquely identified by a uniform numbering system.
Business process
Business procedure within an enterprise that uses resources and can involve activites from a number of different cost centers in a controlling area.
When executing a business process, activities can be utilized for several cost centers of a controlling area.
Business service
Its a third party system.
All these belong to a Business Scenario which is
Description of the flow of business processes according to a business typology. A business scenario represents a template for a business process, which runs within a particular area of a company process. All processes required to completely process the task are listed in chronological order in the scenario. Business scenarios can be described graphically, in either aggregated or detailed form (EPC). Example: Direct sale to industrial recipient

Queries on Business Process Monitoring (BPM) & Interface Monitoring

Dear all,
I have got a few queries on the subject and would greatly appreciate any valuable inputs.
Before I proceed, want to clarify that I have downloaded all overtly available documents (PDFs, SIMs) from the following URLs:
http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager Media Library
http://service.sap.com/bpm Media Library
I may not have read them all though since I come from a Functional angle.
Kindly reply to whatever query you can please. Not all of them are sequential.
Queries:
(1) How are Interfaces with External Systems (beyond the firewall of the enterprise) monitored ?
(2) Is it really worth listing all such External Systems as Logical Components in their own right ? I guess this makes sense if at a Process Step level, one wants to list a 'specific' Logical Component involved instead of 'generic' term like External System. However, it would benefit only if Interface Monitoring is feasible; isn't it ?
(3) There are Interfaces which are built between SAP and External System and serve various Business Processes under various Business Scenarios. In such circumstances, it is not easy to list which Process 'owns' the Interface. Therefore, under a normal Implementation Project structure (SOLAR02), choosing a particular Process Step, getting into 'Development' Tab and listing the Interface Program name may not be feasible, since there is no particular place where it belongs.
Is it therefore a good idea to create namesake Scenario for capturing all interfaces and list a library of all interfaces and store documents right there ? If so, will these namesake processes be of any use in BPM at a later date ?
(4) If my primary objective is to accomplish Interface Monitoring and not Business Process Monitoring per se, is it a good idea to create a new Solution Landscape, and manually create Business Processes that are suited to list Interfaces than to assign Template or Implementation Project to the Solution Landscape, and inherit those Processes ?
(5) What is it that a SAP Competence (Support) Centre will find as a 'major' gain in activating BPM to monitor Interfaces alone - is there something that SolMan's BPM based Interface Monitoring gives more than what PI level reporting may provide them with ?
(6) In Interfaces with Non-SAP Systems (some of them are old/ proprietary legacy systems with Credit Card companies; some of them are like 'Active Directory' servers), is it possible to define Metrics for BPM that such systems will contribute to SolMan, for reporting purposes ? Or, is it too much to hope for
Thanks again, for your patience and advance thanks for your kind responses.

Hi,
Welcome to BPM
You have asked too many questions in a single Post, Please read rules of engagement before posting
You can monitor the following without any trouble.
● ALE/EDI
● qRFC
1) Its obvious, if your firewall blocks all your request to external enterprise, it is not possible to monitor.
3) These interfaces are not the one related to development tab in SOLAR02, you have to map them from BPM.
4) Yes, you don't have to depend on any project for your processes, you can add it in your Solution Landscape.
5) Post a Separate Thread!!!
6) Post a Separate Thread!!!
Hope this gives a better idea.

Process costs and process template

Hi,
Somebody may help me to clarify these problems:
1. Which exact costs are included in the so-called "Process costs" in PS component?
2. Is process template used to allocate only the overheads collected by costing sheet?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Aluri,
i think ur chain is loading parallelly then after successfully completing both in parallel with "AND" option then after it was loading sequential.
not worry if AND fails, AND option if for after successfull completion of parallel loads, it starts the next process, check r u getting REPEAT option?? then start the REPEAT, hope the chain runs successfull for remaining process.
check in table RSPCPROCESSLOG, RSPCLOGS table
execute the program /ssa/bwt
and logs tab in RSA1, analyze the process.
Hope the following links will give u a clear idea about process chains and clear ur doubts.

Solution Directory - How to lock a business process for a implement project

We have Solution Directory assigned to a maintenance project and I understand the checkout/checkin process and how it locks the business process in the Solution. What is the best practice when you are starting a new IMPLEMENTATION project that will impact existing business processes that are in the Solution? I know that I can copy from the solution to build the new project, but it doesnu2019t lock the BP from the solution.
I have a new Implementation project, that i want to checkout/pull existing business processes for the Solution Directory.
*How can these Business Processes be "locked" in Solution Directory as they are with a Maintenance project?*

Kelly,
You would use the maintenance project to make daily modifications.
Consider the case of a O2C business scenario. You need to almost make daily configs etc, which get pushed through, such things will go into a maintenance project.
But if you plan to enhance O2C with a CRM front end or include a better planning solution or TPM or something, then you are looking at an implementation project.
Rule of thumb. Short Scale changes : Maintenance Project, Long term/major enhancements : Implementation Projects.
Also In this case to speak about the lock down. Well the Solution Directory kind of takes care of that for you.
I am assuming that you have a solution populated with business processes. So now if you want to enhance it with a new functionality, you would use an implementation project. So when you define the implementation project, and then navigate to Solar01, and try to add business scenarios , ensure that on the Structure tab you select the Solution as the source. This ensures you are copying content from your current, updated, productive solution. Once you do that, the implementation continues on its track, whilst daily support processes are managed with the check-in / check-out functionality of the Solution and the Maintenance Project.
You technically do not need to lock the business processes down, since the Compare and Adjust functionality of a solution will help you identify the deltas between the Solution and the implementation project and you can always make those adjustments post go-live and thus just update the Solution at one shot. Also remember that with SolMan 7.1 the Compare and Adjust functions can be used with Template, Implementation and Solutions in any permutation-combination.
Hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you need any additional information
Cheers!!

BUSINESS PROCESS FLOW (BPF) TASK SETUP - CURRENT VIEW OPTIONS

This article explains a few findings regarding the options on Current View Type for setting up Business Process Flow tasks and will discuss BPC for Excel, Data Manager and BPC Web tasks.
Future posts will cover more tasks.
This is valid for 5.x versions only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DATA MANAGER PACKAGES
    Data Manager Packages tasks such as Run Specific Package, Run User Package are not integrated
    with the Current View Type selection. Therefore, the options Inherit from Data Region, Inherit from
    Current View or Member Lookup does not work on Data Manager Packages. This is due to the diversity of Data Manager Packages, such as Import, Export, Clear, Default Formulas, each of them requiring a complete different set of parameters, some of them not related to the Current View.
1. INHERIT FROM DATA REGION
Once you choose to Open a BPF from BPC for Excel, you are prompted to choose the Data
Region. Upon setting the desired Data Region, the Current View is changed
accordingly on BPC Web.
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library
    and INHERIT FROM DATA REGION is set to one (or more) of the Data Region
    dimensions, the Current View on BPC for Excel should change to match
    the settings done Data Region settings, being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
2. INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and INHERIT FROM
    CURRENT VIEW is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will pickup the Current View
    from BPC Web and BPC for Excel should change to match the Current View,
    being the same as the one on BPC Web.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       INHERIT FROM CURRENT VIEW setup (ENTITY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for ENTITY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The ENTITY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on BPC Web.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.
3. MEMBER LOOKUP
    OPEN TEMPLATE / REPORT LIBRARY / SCHEDULE LIBRARY
    If a step is defined as Open Template/Report Library/Schedule Library and MEMBER LOOKUP
    is set to one (or more) dimensions, the report will set the Current View
    on BPC for Excel to the member that was configured.
    Example:
    1. Log on to BPC Admin on ApShell -> Manage Application Sets;
    2. Go to Business Process Flows -> Budgeting Process;
    3. Grant access to the BPF to your test user;
    4. Check Sub-Step 1 of Step 1 - Check Budget Data. This steps has a
       MEMBER LOOKUP setup (CATEGORY).
    5. Log on to BPC Web on ApShell;
    6. Go to Open a Business Process Flow and choose Budgeting Process;
    7. Choose the desired Data Region;
    8. On BPC Web, verify the value setup for CATEGORY on the Current View;
    9. Open the Check Budget Data;
    10. The CATEGORY on the Current View will be set up accordingly to what
        was set on the Task configuration, in other words, there should be BUDGET set
        on the Current View.
    SET WORK STATUS
    Same as above.

Business Process Documentation

Dear All
Business Process Documentation
I just want to know foloowing thing sabout Business Process Documentation.
do yuo know where there any documents about Business Process Documentation and system log ?
Edited by: Koji Watanabe on Feb 16, 2012 1:52 AM

Hellow Watanabe-san
Could you explain little bit mroe about what you are looking
for ?
Are you looking for the way to document Business Process in SolMan ?
Or
Are you looking for the way to monitor your business process in
the backedn system ?
The link that vasanthgobi mentioned is the SAP help on business
process monitoring.
Documentation topic
In SAP Solman, you can document your business process in following
2 area. Project area and Solution area. Project area is mainly used
for implementation phase or initial documentation. Solution area is
used for operation phase.
And to support the documentation, SAP Solman provides several
supporting tools for project area (you can copy the document in
project area to solution later).
In SolMan 7.1, if you want to document your business process,
you may have following possibility.
(General motivation for the documentation, please refer to the
this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27054.
And service Market Place
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Solution Documentation )
1.Upload via EXCEL (initial upload) and adjust in project area
<Create templete via project, and create excel content locally
and upload to project area>
2.Maintain business process by using Business Blue print function
<Using more graphical instead of SolMan screen>
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/28304
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27212
And service market place link (webinar)
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Business Process Blueprint
3.Start initial documentation using RBPD content and adjust it in
project area
<SAP and IBIS develop analysis content based on the business
process repository. By using this content, you can execute
analysis for ERP and can get process utilization info.
And you can create initial process from this>.
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26074
And service market place link
http://service.sap.com/rbpd
4.Document manually in project area
(Also ARIS integration is possible).
In above case, if you use RBPD content, yes, you have some step
related to the backend system (collecting process execution statistic
in ERP). But in other case, you do not have any activity to ERP.
For RBPD, it collects the data by using job, and you can control
the number of WP to be used. The runtime will be depending your
ERP system size.
Business Process Monitoring topic
In SolMan, there are business process monitoring functionality.
Actually, it is not only the monitoring, but also you can use it
for business process improvement.
Basically in business process monitoring related tools,
there are 2 main tools
1.Business Process Monitoring tool - Monitoring
2.Business Process Analytics tool - Analysis & benchmarking
(Also there are dashboard).
Business Process Monitorings enables monitoring of your core
business process from technical and application side.
The tool can monitor specific job(normal job/BW process chain),
interface(IDoc, tRFC, qRFC etc), performance, and also different
types of transaction document like sales order, delivery,
purchase order, production ordet etc.
For transaction monitoring, there are pre-defined template
(best practice).
Also it allows to monitor any table (z/y-table also).
And the Analytics tool is the tool based on the BW.
By using this, you can do benchamarking, trend analysis,
backlog analysis.
In more, I highly recommend to check the series of blog
by Volker. And FAQ document.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/251688346
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQBusinessProcess+Monitoring
There are configuration document in service market place also.
http://service.sap.com/bpm
Hope this helps you.

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
Senthil
