Business Process Testing

Question

Hello everyone I have a general question about business process testing in Sales and Distribution
we have these business process definition documents and we have some functional requirements for thsoe documents and I wanted to know if someone has done this before where you created scenarios from those requirements and if yes I want to know how did one do it? I just need to understand the concept.
Thanks

Answer 1

The process followed by me for testing Business Scenario for Order to Cash Cycle is demonstrated below"
Initial Testing will be as under:
1. Create Stock artificially (in test server / sand box only)
2. Create Sales Order
    --> Here the common expected error would be as under:
    a. Sales Order Type not assigned to Sales area
    b. Pricing Procedure assignment not done.
    c. Pricing Condition record not maintained
    d. Material not maintained or extended to relevant combination
    On successful creation of Sales Order, next step would be to create Delivery.
3. Create Delivery and PGI
    I will test this scenario in multiple manner
    a. Create Delivery from Sales Order
    b. Create Delivery through Transaction Code VL01N
    c. Create Delivery through Transaction Code VL10C
    --> Here the common expected error is copy control setting not maintained, defalult Delivery type not maintained accurately in sales Order Type, etc.
    On successful creation creation of Delivery, assuing Picking is done appropriately, doing PGI.
    Here the challenge is the Account determination setting reguires to be completed, without which in most cases, it will not allow to do PGI.
4. Create Billing
    I will test this scenario in multiple manner
    a. Create Billing through VF01
    b. Create Billing through Transaction Code VF04
    Here the challenge is the Account determination may not be complete and Billing Document is saved without creating accounting document.
In Integration Testing:
1. Assure that material stock is availble in  unrestricted stock through MM/PP.
2. Creating Sales Order smoothly
3. Creating Delivery, picking and PGI smmothly.
4. Create Billing smoothly with creation of accurate accounting document
    Troubleshooting the errors encountered.
   Here the objective is that the process should execute seamlessly.
similar exercise is done for other processes like Stock Transfer, Third Party & so on........
