As per module in FICO, AR, AP,AA,GL there is already business process present in SAP database. As of now, many releases have been out in the net especially good sites. I am recommending you the following links, but before you go to FICO be sure that you have a good background in accounting.
As you read that, You will need the glossary of terms to the words used in SAP FICO.

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.

Hope this helps you.

Business process & business requirement in fi.

Dear Members,
somebody clarify me about business processes & business requirements with example in fi.thank you.

Hello László,
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.

Business Process Testing

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
Edited by: inzane on Aug 10, 2009 4:16 PM

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........

Rajesh Banka

Any Sales Distribution Business Process Website or Material on internet??

As most of the forums posts are about the issues on system level.I think I have improved on the system level thorugh these forums but is there any info on internet about business processes and scenarios of different companies.
It ould be great if anyone can provide me links as business knowledge I guess is much more important than system knowledge as you can con

Hi Sam,
You really need to explore yourself on that. For example if you want to find out the processes in say Cement industry, just google in Cement sales process and you will get some of the industry standards, processes and so on. From there you can build on it. This has to be exploratory only and there is no standard set of processes for each industry. Though the common processes are there, variations are abundant.
Just get into help.sap.com and search for each verticals, you will get the process standards for every kind of industry SAP has IS on.

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

Highlight critical business Processes in SOLMAN

Hello everybody,
I know it is possible to categorize test cases in SOLMAN. But what about business Processes or Transactions?
Can I highlight them in order to reduce my test scope ? So I will immediately know which Object I must test when I’m upgrading my system.
Thank you so much in advance
Regards
Felix

Hi Felix,
You can use Business Process Change Analyzer (BCPA) to identify test scope or Scope and Effort Analyzer to estimate upgrade scope.
Manually within SOLAR01 you can use customer attributes to maintain flags or filters. These attribute scan be maintained within business process nodes and transaction objects.
Hope this helps,
Karl

Read about the Redefined Business Process Modeling Methodology Forum

We have moved all obvious technical workflow related questions to the newly renamed SAP Business Workflow forum. That is the place for technical, tool oriented questions.
Our hope is that in this newly renamed forum, the <b>Business Process Modeling Methodology</b> forum, the discussions will focus around methodologies, how to choose a process model and how to use a language that is easily understood by the business. Since process models are often needed to help understand and enable an actual process, we should be discussing best modeling practices here.
In addition, we can discuss various process information gathering techniques. Lastly, we can also discuss here the various enabling technologies available and perhaps further discuss their merits.

SAP PRA (Production Revenue Accounting) module is fairly independent module. It has several sub modules (Production, Contract Allocations & Balancing, Valuation, Revenue Distribution, Royalty Reporting, Tax Reporting, Regulatory Reporting). In the final posting step results are posted in FI using a BAPI. PRA does maintain its own set of tables for keep track of journal entries. PRA is primarily geared towards US market and have reports that comply with US State regulations. However several customers are using it for Production and Contract Allocations globally.

Re: What is a Business Process Expert?

Hello all,
Maybe we should open the discussion a bit beyond a "Human Centric" BPX. The main theme after all IS "The Business Process". There are hundreds, possibly thousands of Business Processes depending upon whether you categorize as micro or macro processes. Any one of these either on a micro/macro level function with or without human beings and may utilize machines that assist or automate value added activities/processes which produce higher value service or products in the age old scenario [input > process > useful output & waste output].
When we talk about Expert or Expertise, we are talking about precise know-how, and narrow domain knowledge wether depth or breadth knowledge.
Referring back to a post by Luis Rincones, regarding ideas and concepts leading to BPX, automation of the business process should be the KEY focus of a BP engineer. Back in the late 80's early 90's, we referred to these BP engrs. as "Knowledge Engineers" and their principal goals were to interview "Experts" in order to extract expert knowledge (sometimes 20+ years of experience) and understand not only the flow of the process, but more importantly the RULES which govern all exceptions and variations encountered within the process, as well as "rules of thumb" in case the RULES don't apply.
This is something which if we are truly to orient our Enterprise SOA architecture towards the goals of BPX mentioned above, will require a common "Rule Based Engine", which lives across all domains of knowledge, Objects, & environments, and works together with the design & development environment for the xAPP (I like to refer to them as "Expert Applications") and thereby enable not only the integration and homogenization of input data (via the technology stack), but also integrate the application of logic via a common rule based engine. In this way, E-SOA can also be enabled on the "useful" outbound process enabling services (actions) which mediate/manage/automate the process back to prescribed operating parameters.
Of course, people can not be eliminated from the process. Lexus factory in Korea back in 2002 operated with approx. 60 or so people, 150 robots, and produced >300 units per day. People were mostly involved in QA and deviation functions.
Automating the Business Process optimizes the output:input ratio and should minimize the waste:useful output ratio. By doing so, the ROI, ROA, and operating margins are maximized and competitive advantage gains against other not so able competitors.
Any one else has a few words on this?

You raise a very important and interesting question regarding whether there is any framework for narrowing down the domain of a Business Process Expert.
There are many frameworks out there:
http://www.bpmg.org/8omega.php
http://www.prosci.com/tutorial-design-mod1.htm
http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2004/volume08issue04/art11_collaboration/p01_abstract.htm
From my experience, it is beneficial to focus on a critical "life support" process for the corporation. Many times this can be started at the top level COO for instance, asking what is the # 1 thing which causes issues with customers, collections, services, etc.. One such item is "contract to cash" and specific sub-components of this process such as "unbilled hours" which if corrected prior to billing issuance will result in more accurate Invoices, and collections. An improvement of this nature shortens the cycle time of billing to collection, or hour entry to billing calculation, and with improved accuracy increases cash flow and lowers cost per transaction.
What you are suggesting in terms of Media expert, etc.. is more associated with Roles which are aligned with Solution Scenarios within SAP. Business Processes may span many roles, and are critical to the application being developed.
I believe this is the purpose of BPM, but would welcome any further comments from colleagues regarding framework.
Please take a look at the following BLOG as well as Lakshmikanth does a very good job explaning the landscape:
