General HR Business process

Hi
We are preparing AS IS (Current Business Process), from where we will get the general HR Business process details and flow charts , any body please let me know.
Rex

Hi,
If you want to know what is AS-IS documents, process, read below:
What a funcional Consultant does during AS-IS process?
1) Attends a series of meeting with the client - mainly to capture the organizational structure of the company, the different work schedules, leave types, pay scales, etc. The objective of these meetings is to the gather the existing HR processes and structure of the company
2) Depending on what modules of SAP HR are being implemented, different questions need to be put forward to the client. A complete set of Blueprinting questions can be found here.
3) Prepares the business blue printing (BBP) documents describing the complete AS-IS process
4) Flow charts should be included in the as-is blue print process flow document describing the complete process.
5) Next is the TO-BE process that will be implemented in SAP. This is based on the decision the project group arrives at taking into consideration the existing processes in the company and the functionality that SAP provides. It still awaits approval from the management.
6) After that there will be some things which cannot be implemented in SAP, the gaps are identified. These gaps are to be documented in white paper for the client and would presented to an audience chosen by the project manager.

How do I use SE80 to view details of a Front Office Business Process?

Hello all,
I posted the following question in the ABAP general forum but did no reply was posted. So, I am hoping that experts in this forum may be able to help me with an answer.
I would like to use SE80 (or any other transaction for that matter (except EWBC)) to get details of a Front Office Business Process. By details I mean information about methods, programs and anything else that can help me debug a problem I am having with transaction EC20. I have used transaction EWBC but I cannot get details about programs behind a given step. I get a list of steps and container info. Double clicking on the actual thing does not get me anything, and SE80 does not seem to be able to give me the needed information either, or at least I don't know how to go about it. So, which category, which sub-category or which button will do the job please?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
First of all go to transaction EWFC and enter the right Front Office configuration.Go to the appropriate transaction group containing the button you want to investigate. Double click it and a new screen will pop up. On this screen there should be a radio button 'Method'. Next to this button you'll find a field with the object type. Copy this type ( eg. PREMISES) to your clipboard and open another modus.
Go to transaction SE80. In the left upper corner, a little under the text 'Object Navigator' there's a button 'Edit object'. Click this one. Go to the tab 'Business engineering' and select radio button 'Business object type'. Fill in the object type from the previous step and you'll find the interfaces, key fields, methods, events etc.
To customize this object you have to create a z-object derived from the main object. You can add methods, events etc. as you like!
Kind regards,
Stijn

Business process management (BPM)

How do business process mangement implmentation related to SAP BASIS guys.

Hi,
If you are talking about Solution manager BPM(Business Process Monitoring), its upto you how much you can relate, generally we used to do configuration on based upon inputs from fuctional consultants, so in case you dont have any solution mnaager consultant , you can collect the busness scenario related information and map the business process in solman setup , finally need to configre monitring based on scopes.Maximum input should come from business users to map.
Hope it will clear ,

Monitoring proxy abap in business process monitoring

Hi
Expert. Iu2019m working with Business Process Monitoring in my Solution Manager 7.0 sp20.
I would to monitor the communication between SAP ECC and SAP PI.
SAP ECC and SAP PI communicate by proxy.
I would know if can I monitor the proxy abap using SAP PI Message Error Monitoring based on Message-Based-Alerting (RWB).
I have just defined the alert category in abap stack and in RWB. In RWB I have inserted all information in u201CConditionsu201D fields and in the u201CWhere did the error occur?u201D fields I have chose:
Integration engine : XI Proxy
Error Code: *
Is this the correct procedure to monitor a proxy abap?
Thanks a lot
Giou2019

Hello Giovanni,
The described procedure looks correct in general. If you have set any restrictions in "Conditions" fields than you will only monitor on these specific message. If not all message will be considered which turn into a error status on the ABAP Proxy.
For information regarding the PI/XI Message Based Alerting please refer to service.sap.com/bpm -> Media Library -> Technical Information "Setup Guide - Interface Monitoring".

Roles for Business Process Monitoring

Hi Expert,
I'm working with sap solution manager and Business Process Monitoring.
It works fine but I need to create particular roles for my users.
I have created one solution with 2 business scenarios (scenario 1, scenario 2) and 10 Business Processes for each scenario.
I would know if exist a role in order to allow user 1 to see only BP in scenario 1 and allow user 2 to see only BP in scenario 2.
I saw roles: SAP_OP_DSWP_BPM and SAP_SMWORK_BPM but I didn't find any suitable authorization object to use.
Thanks for collaboration
best regards
gio'

Hi Giovanni,
the answer is unfortunately no. There is no authorization object available that limits the visibility of business processes. You could only split by solution, so creating two solutions each containing 10 business processes.
In general you can find information about roles and authorizations in SAP note 834534. There are several MS Excel files attached to this note.

Business Process Monitoring (Job Monitoring)

Hi all,
I have some business processes being monitoring. Most of them are background jobs and we are monitoring delays, cancellation, duration...
My problem is that we have an external tool (CONTROLM) for job scheduling.
That means that jobs are not released directly in SAP, but they are in status scheduled and when the start condition (in the external tool) is reached, controlm makes a copy of the scheduled job and start it in SAP.
I have succeded to have the alerts working checking the option of "start job condition" , but some times I receive alerts like this one: "Job Name with schedule date 16.09.2010; not yet started" even if job is started and finished correctly.
Anyone knows what could be the problem? Or why are we receiving these "fake alerts"?
Best regards,
Virginia

Hi Virginia,
if you work with external schedulers and use start condition "Start by time" then you have to ensure that the maintained Planned Start Time in BPMon is earlier than the actual Start Time coming from the scheduler. If you use start condition "Use job start condition" this problem cannot occur as every job is picked up that fits the naming criteria. But there you cannot check for the start delay (business wise) but only system wise.
In general you have to ensure that either the latest SP for ST-PI plug-in is installed on your backend system or the latest SAP notes (component SV-SMG-MON-BPM) related to ST-PI are implemented. Only then you can ensure that no "funny" behaviour occurs when it comes to job monitoring.

Business Process Monitoring - Application Monitoring help.

Hi all,
Through Business Process Monitoring, I am trying to configure monitoring on table NAST, so that an alert will be generated for Billing documents print outputs (application=V3, transm. medium=1) on specific message types, if the processing status is equal to either 0 (not processed) or 2 (incorrectly processed).
I have configured this through application monitoring, using the 'Messages (Output Determination)' monitoring object. Under this, was able to configure the 2 key figures of "unprocessed messages" and "incorrectly processed messages" with the parameters mentioned above (application and message type).
I set the yellow alert threshold to 1, and the red alert threshold to 2, as I want to be notified each time a print output goes into status 0 or 2, and that a red alert be generated in the case where 2 or more print outputs are not successful.
However, upon activation of this monitoring, I came across the following issue: The table NAST already has over 40 historic entries of unprocessed and incorrectly processed messages for these message types. The monitoring is picking up all these entries right away, and therefore a red alert is being generated.
There does not appear to be a way to configure the monitoring to only look for new entries in the table matching the criteria, e.g. look for billing docs with status = incorrectly processed during the last 24 hours. It seems that unless the existing entries in the table NAST are either deleted or have their status changed to "processed", the monitoring will always pick up these entries and report a red alert, even if no new entries are discovered.
Does anyone know how a way of configuring a date range with this type of monitoring, or do I have to modify the existing entries in the table (either delete them, change their status or set the "disregard" indicator on the messages in the table) before this monitoring will work as I hoped it would?
Secondly - a more general point - although there are lots of good documents on configuring Business Process Monitoring, I have not yet found one which gives full details on all the different types of application monitoring available, and how each of them can be configured. I know that within Application Monitoring, when you choose a monitoring type, the grey box at the top half of the screen gives some good information on what the monitoring does and how to configure it, but a document which captures all these monitoring types in one place would be very useful - if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for any help with the first issue above,
Regards,
John

Hi John,
you get an overview about all available key figures in the PPT "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information. It lists all Monitoring Object and Key Figures with Select-Options. There is no document that describes the setup of every key figure as the setup is too similar for most objects. Therefore the grey text boxes within the tool.
The NAST collector will always pick-up everything older than x days. So you would have to process or delete the olde entries. But it is a good advise that for this rather technical key figure we should think about a delta mechanism like with our IDOC or ABAP dump monitor.

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 of AP &AP\R

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me the Generall business process of Ap &AR
1)what is Business process?
2)please explain me General business process of Accounts Payable and Accounts Recivable?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Chandu.

Business Process of Accounts Payable:
Accounts payables are the liabilities towards business to pay, which arise when the goods and services are purchased for business.
Accounts Payable Process:
Creation of Purchase Requisition(PR)(ME51N) for services or goods-> Approval->Release of PR(ME54N)--->Then Creation of Purchase Order (ME21N) with reference to that PR, ->Release of Purchase Order (PO)(ME29N)->Monitoring & maintenance of that PO---> Goods Received against PO (MIGO) -> Entering of incoming Invoice against that PO(MIRO)->Invoice verification(MIRA) & processing of payment against that invoice F-53.
Process for Accounts Receivable is same, because if you are purchasing goods & services then for second party it is sales order.
So I hope you get an idea about AP & AR. Transaction code are different for AR. AP is covered in MM, AR are covered in SD.

Reg MM business process flow

Hi All,
Cud U pls let me know the business process flow in MM( Material Management )???
Thanx in Advance

Hi
Generally any P2P cycle to start with the Requirement arises in the Industry so it starts with for stock materials
(1) Purchase Requisition (PR)
(2) Requst for quotaion (RFQ)
(3) Maintain Quoatation (after recieving quoattion from different vendors)
(4) Comparing Quotation (to select the best suitable vendor for purchasing the materials)
(5) Purchase Order (PO)
(6) Goods Reciept (GR)
(7) Invoice Verification (IVR) comparing the items and cost in the invoice with the PO and GR we will clear it for payment where vendor will be credited.
This is the general flow of P2P for stock materials. If we maintain source list (vendor records) we can compare the different vendors available at PR it self and thje steps 2,3,4 will not be there if we satisfy with the vendor prices available in the source list.
If the P2P is for services In step 6 instead of GR we will do Service Entry.
For details about from step 1 to 5 you can found documents in

SAP business processes - HR

Hi gurus,
Can you please tell me where I can find standard SAP business processes (not any client specific) ?
For example, 1. Benefits - from enrollement, changes, termination.
2. Payroll - Hire employee, maintain pay roll area, payroll status, then maintain IT 07, 08 ,,, then run Payroll Run program(what is the program name), then how to transfer the results to FI.
3. Time - what are the infotypes maintained (why), then what/which is the time evaluation program, how the time results used in calculation of Payroll...
Please let reply if you have any general idea where to search for this (any module is ok)?
Can some one please help?
thanks,
Rupali.

Hi Rupali,
There is not really any such thing as "standard business processes". There are best practices, but generally these are not really documented. Business processes vary from business to business. SAP has functionality and the ability to adapt the system to meet many business process scenarios.
Best regards,
Luke

Use of BPMN diagrams on different levels (Business Process Architect 11gR1)

I have an issue regarding the representation of different levels of diagrams in BPA... I have been using following types of diagrams from the highest level to the lowest:
- Structuring model,
- Value-added chain diagram,
- Business process diagram (BPMN),
- Business process diagram (BPMN),
- Function allocation diagram (this is generated automatically).
Those levels are linked with use of "Assignment" function on individual elements and that enables the user to drill-down to the last level (except between Structuring model and Value-added chain diagram - I can't find a way to link those two).
As you might have noticed from the list of diagrams above, I have used two BPMN diagrams to represent two successive levels. Is this OK? On the first of those two diagram types, I represented activities with "Function" elements (I also used Start, Intermediate, End events and Rule elements).
I linked every "Function" element to a more detailed BPMN diagram on the next level. That one includes "Human task", "Automated activity" elements (and also Start, Intermediate, End events, Rule elements and also others) and is eventually meant to be transformed into BPEL.
That is how I understood the "Oracle_BPA_Suite_QuickStart_Sample_Guide.pdf" and samples included in Architect 11gR1. Is that the right way to do it? Does anybody have a better suggestion on how to represent the whole chain of diagrams?
How can "Assignees" be represented in the BPMN diagram, where I used "Function" elements? Is it possible to link "Structuring model" elements to Value-added chain diagrams?
I hope this describes my dilemma well enough and doesn't frighten you all away... I thank you all for your feedback in advance.

It is possible to assign Structural Elements to any Model Type in BPA. If you are not able to make this assignment it is not active in your Method Filter. You can log in with the Entire Method filter to check this out. You can also modify the filter you are using to include this ability.
The hierarchy you are using is fine and is a commonly used one. Some people use the EPC model, which is specifc to BPA and not a standard, at the level below the value-chain but many use BPMN as you have. If your intent is to use the first BPMN as a pure business process model then you may consider creating a separate custom Model Type, based on the BPMN model, with a scaled down set of allowable objects. This is also done through customizing the filter. If you do this you can also rename the model types in the filter if you wish to have different names at each level.
Note of caution, modifying a method filter can have impacts and should generally be done by someone with a working knowledge of the meta model. If you chosse to change a filter supplied with the tool, copy it and rename it, then update the copy. Always retain the original filter provided with the tool. If you are doing something as simple as adding the ability to use the assignment between Structural Elements and Value-Added Chain models, that would be no big deal. If you get into reusing object and model types that has more impact on the functionality of the tool.

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
