Mapping of business process

Hi,
I have mapped one scenario of subcontracting as below and I want to get suggestion from the experts whether it is correct or could have been done better.
Scenario:
I procure a sheet of high quality stationary paper from a supplier.Then I cut this sheet inhouse into 4 pieces of equal size and keep them in my stock as a separate material altogether.
I sell the entire sheet to the customers and I sell the cut piece also which is costed at the exact division of sheet price by 4.(4 is the number of sheets I cut from one sheet)
To map this scenario I am using following method in SAP.
I create 2 material codes for a big sheet and a cut piece.
By normal procurement cycle,I purchase the big sheet and do the GR.
I have created a BOM for the cut piece (treating it as parent material) and in the component,I mention the big sheet with quantity 0.25 EA.
System does throw warning that UOM EA can not be divided like this but keep pressing enter,I save the BOM.
Now,I raise a subcontracting PO for cut piece to be procured from a logical vendor(which has been created as a dummy vendor) with quantity 4.
Which means that the component gets exploded for quantity 1 main sheet.i.e. one big sheet.
Then I do GI to vendor to send the component which is one complete sheet with ME2O
Then I do the GR subsequently.
This way I manage my requirement of cutting a big sheet in to 4 pieces and receive them in my stock.
One more thing: When I raise subcontracting PO, I check the free goods indicator at item level so that I do not have to take in to consideration any additional costs and dont have to pay the vendor.
Request you to suggest whether this has been mapped correctly and is this correct.
As far as stock updation is concern, it is happening correctly.
Thanks in advance.

manOO

Hi Sham,
Thx for confirmation but could not understand the suggestion of sending one sheet and getting back 4.
Can you please explain me ?
Thanks in advance

How to map the business process in account receivable

Hi All,
i am working on a different scenario can any body suggest me on this,
Business process my client is into service industry they will send Tenders to customer along with EMD amount,
once they got the project they will coverts that amount into securiy deposit,
for example:
EMD amount 1000000
got the project that amount goes to security deposit 1000000,
after work done they will rese invoice to that customer based on payment terms they will get money from customer,
if they rise 50000 invoice he will be sending 48000 rupess only remaing 2000 will be keep it as security deposit
and again they will rise 50000 he will be seding 48000 rupess only remaing 2000 will be keep it as secrity deposit once the project closed after six to eight month he will be sending that 4000 rupees.
here my client want that 4000 should not be shown as open item.
can any body suggest me how to do that in SAP
kind regards
kiran

Hi Kiran
As per the business scenario and the process in SAP, you are having only three options in clearing procudure as you may be aware.
1) standard - bill to total payment
2) partial - partial amount against invoice(Inovice and receipt will be in open item status)
3) residual ( new open item will be generated)
If they don't want to show the remaining 4,000 as open item in the customer account, how they want to treat in the books.
create a seperate G/L security deposits receivables and transfer the amounts to the account. Whenver you receive the amount knock off the amount

How to map this Business process

Wanted to dispatch Goods thru Stock transfer from plant A to plant C which are in two different states. Further Plant C doesn't have unloding point hence the goods are unloaded at Plant B an intemediate location.
For this presently one STO is created from plant A to Plant B and another STO from plant A to C. Goods are transferred thru delivery and movement types 641 to location B & C.
Hence on system delivery is appering twice in stock transfer reports against plants B & C.
How this procedure can be mapped in single transaction.

How to map business process and enterprise service?

Recently, I read some documents about ESA. I'm confusing about the relationship between business process and enterprise service. In other word, how to map the business process to enterprise service after the business process is analyzed? Is there any methodology/rule to define business process and wrap them into service in ESA?

Hi Sherry,
I like to add some of my thoughts about that discussion. From my point of view ESA is much more than just another BPM or Enterprise BPM. ESA is adresses six key areas and I think all of them are really needed:
- People Productivity as the word itself describes...it's about portals and productivity.
- Embedded Analytics has to integrate transactional and analytical content.
- Service Composition is used for model-driven service composition and services orchestration.
- Service Enablement is about a Enterprise Services Repository filled with business meaningful Enterprise Services and service patterns for enabled objects. Excactly this is where SAP has years of experiences.
- Business Process Platform is about service enablement of all application platform objects and engines. This is the place where "BPM" for core business processes resits.
- Life-Cycle Management has to cover the deployment, configuration, operation and change management for ESA based processes.
Therefore the term "BPM" is located in serveral layers of an ESA approach. On the level of Business Process Platform BPM is providing the choreography for core business preocesses.
At Service Enablement BPM needs to compose out of granular services (I would say "atomic" services)
buiness meaningful services (here we have "molecular" services).
The third level where BPM could be used is Service Composition because exactly this is the place
where serveral Enterprise Services could be combined to a process representation.
To come back to the discussion:
1. The question should be how to indentify business meaningful services which could represent single process steps. ATP check, Credit card check, ... could be examples. In theory this service could be out-tasked, defined more flexible etc. This means that processes needs to be evaluated for Enterprise Service candidates. Afterwards you can check against SAP's Enterprise Services Repository for already existing Enterprise Services. The evalution for enterprise services candidates will be supported by the metodology mentioned by Kaj and David.
2. I think domains in this context should be motivated by business and/or functional areas. Depending on the granularity. For example Order Fulfilment Services, Master Data Services, Search Services... These kind of serices can be combined again to services such as "Search of Master Data" (Search Service + Read Master Data Service) etc. or can be used to generate UI to be used in a ESA application.
Your thoughts?
Very best regards

Business process and mapping in BPC

Greetings experts,
I am a BPC consultant on my first project and i need some assistance in the mapping of some client business processes in the system. I am configuring Business planning for the client. The scenario goes as follows:
The client wants to plan for expenditure in different cost centers. They also plan for revenue in different funds centers. I have created manual planning for them for the 2 different scenarios(in BI environment where data sits in an infocube). Now the revenue planning planning and expenditure planning should be integrated in such a way that, when the budgeted amounts are due for release, the system should only release the difference between the revenues collected and the planned expenditures.
Thats the scenario in a nutshell. Could kindly assist me with the most appropriate method of mapping the business process in the system. In business planning there are different processes like amortization, copy, formula, distribution, forecast, etc, but i cant figure out the most appropriate in my business scenario.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Tatenda

Dear Rama,
Basically business processes are the actual day to day processes any oraganisation carries out. When we have to group tcodes / functions for rule creation , we group them according to a business process so that we can easily relate them to each other within the business process. Eg : Procure to Pay.
So the rules have to be created such that in this process there are no SOD violations in the access given to users. Thus it makes risk analysis more logical and simple for analysis.
Thanks,

Business process ...

Hi,
I have a central warehouse and about 8 retail outlets.I receive goods at central warehouse(St Loc) and transfer these goods to the 8 retail outlets.I sell the goods from these retail outlets and also I sell it from Central loaction as a direct sale.
I have 2 options of mapping a business process for MM and SD.
1.
I have one plant created with a St Loc for the central Warehouse(location) and remaining 8 retail outlets as different plants with one St Loc each.
I have to maintain some 10k materials in all the plants since I sell them directly from Central plant or the 8 retail plants.
I will receive goods against PO in Central warehouse and transfer them to all other 8 locations(plants) against STO.
Now I can sell them from those plants as cash sell.
2.
I have a central warehouse to be treated as plant and for all the other 8 retail outlets I will create one plant(say B) and under that I will create 8 loactions to be treated as retail outlets.
I will continue to receive the goods aginst PO in central WH as in case 1 and also transfer them to plant B against STO with Storage Location enetered per line item otherwise the goods will notmove to proper retail outlet.
Once received in each Storage location I will sell the goods from these loactions as acash sell.
I have to maintain business area linked to each plant to capture business information.
If i go by option 1, then I will have to create 9 business areas per plant and if I go by option 2 then only 2.
Considering all this I require some inputs/suggestion to choose the option between 1 and 2.
Which should be used and why ?
In any option the materilas will have to be created in all the 9 loactions whether I treat them as plants or one plant and one plant with 8 storage locations as to sell materials I need to have them in each storage location specifically in the option B
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am sorry but this is a particular subject that I have VERY strong views on.
If the different sites have different addresses (even if they are in the same town) DO NOT use storage locations for them.
You will have stock movements between them and these are much better handled by plants.
Also consider the following;
If you use astorage location for a site you have no way of breaking down that storage area further. You would not use WM and you cannot therefore have any further breakdown on where the stock is (such as cold store, warehouse, display window, retail shelves etc.).
Also consider (especially for the sites that are not in the same town) Info records.
What if one site is substantially further away from the vendor than the others? Lead times MAY be different, prices MAY be different etc.
Even if none of the above applies in your business NOW, can you be 100% sure that things might not change in the future.
Storage locations for sites definitely reduces the functionality available from MM.
Use plants for each address that is likely to hold stock and if this means more master data then manage that (by using mass uploads and changes). You maintain data far less frequently than you do receipts, issues, transfers, stock takes etc.

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 ,

Regarding Business Process

Hello Experts,
following is my brief Business process.
1)suppose first i take 1000/- advance from customer.
2) customer supplies me raw material . in this case as a consignee i take only Excise Credit, suppose it may be 1500/-.
No bill to customer for raw material.
3) After production i will apply only labor charges to customer & the finished product is excisable. Now while adding delivery document system should generate alert if my debit is greater than (Advance+Credit) also i should know how much advance i have to taken from the customer.
4) after receiving the difference amount from customer ,through down payment document, system should permit me to add Delivery document.
i want to map this business process in SAP B1 ,can anyone give me such query?
Thanks & Regards,
Rishikesh.

Hello,
1.
First Make Vendor and Customer Code for Same Name. in the master there should be filed for identification that Party has both code(Vendor and Customer)
Because this option will help you when you will make a query .
2.
When you will receive material (GRPO) then select check box Tax only(This Tax Only is not visible then goto form setting and make visible and editable).
Now when user will make GRPO then ,any account entries does not hit in backend.
copy to incomming exice invoice and make A/P invoice then Vendor account show only tax amount(BEDCESSHCESS+VAT/CST(VAT / CST optional))
Here Party balace show only tax amount.
3.
Receive payment on account from the customer from incomming payment.
First Check these three step in system and discuss with client that this is only way in SAP and then goto 4 Step
4.
In the next step make a SP notification using with identification which i have explain in 1 step .
and the logic will based on amount in and out for both Code. if diffirence is negative then block other wise not block.
Note:-
Have you any idea SP Notification ?
if no then i will guide you.
May it will help you. til now i dont have go through this senario but it is good..
Thanks

New Business Process

Hi SAP gurus !!
I need Help/inputs on the following business Process:
We are into manufacturing & selling of Diesel Locomotive Engines. These Engines & its subcomponents first we assemble at a remote place far from main Plant. once the Engine is ready, we will put this inside the plant & then sell it.
( Plz remember all subcomponents will first come to main plant then to remote place for assembling then again to main plant to use it for business.)
please help me to MAP this business process in SAP. It would be great if you can explain all the activities of SAP that is going to be used ...like.. Production, Material management then Sales process.
if you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
Warm Regards,
MAYANK

Hi there,
From the SD point of view, this is what I feel
To receive the components from other vendors, you 1st need to create a PO. When vendor fulfills the delivery for the PO, you do the GR into your main plant.
What you can do is that define 2 plants Plant A main plant & Plant B assembling plant. After you do GR into the mail plant A, then create a intra company stock transfer UB from Plant A to plant B. Delivery NL. Material type will be HALB raw materials. When the goods are assembled, they are treated as FERT finished goods. Then Plant B again does stock transfer to Plant A. When you do GR into Plant A, materials will be available in A. Post them into the required storage loc with relevant movement types.
From PLant A, to fulfill customer orders, do it in the normal order - delivery - invoice process.
I feel that this also requires integration MM & PP. I am not sure of the process they follow.
Hope this helps.

Sivanand

How to map different Retail store business processes in SAP

Hi
In our stores( Retail Business) there are two sales sections, In the first section we have Point of Sales systems, here we placed our materials in racks, after confirming and creating sales order customer collects pick list and goes to the location to pick the products. Here customer Invoice will be created before delivery.
In second sales section normally order fulfillment will take place. Customer visit this section and select products and places an order. But the delivery will be at a later date. We receive some down payment from customer and we create sales order with scheduled delivery. while delivering the products we create delivery note and it will be sent to customer, Our driver will carry the delivery note along with products to the customer and take customer signature on the delivery note. In this second process we are creating Invoice after delivery only.
Could any body suggest me how can we map these two processes in SAP?
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Mapping in a Business Process

Hi,
I have a business process. This process is calling one webservice first. To call the second one the result from the first webservice and the input for the whole business process is needed. How can I create a mapping for this or solve this problem otherwise?
When I try to create a mapping I am only able to choose one import massage, but I have to map all required variables for the output.
Thank you!
Julia

Hi Julia and Jörg,
You don't need the parallel switch. Since the incoming message (that starts the business process) is received into a container, it is then available throughout the entire process, until the container is overwritten.
So you can do the call to the webservice, and after that, just do a merge map with the two source messages and one target message.
e.g.
incoming start message -> Container1
webservice request -> Container2
webservice response -> Container3
mergemap result -> Container4
so at the mergemap step, source messages are in Container1 & Container3. The target message will be in Conatiner4.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Manish

Kindly advise on new business process to map to SAP

Hello All,
I have one business process and I could not able to map to SAP.
Please help me out.

Company code 1000 Company Code 2000 (Exports)
Plant 1000 Plant 2000
X is the final product which is assembled with below parts (BOM)
(Part A,Part B,Part C,Part D)
Business Process:
1. Plant 2000 places an order to Plant 1000 for final product "X".(It is the combination of Parts A,B,C,and D)
2. Plant 2000 supplies Part E and Part F to plant 1000 without billing as RGP (Returnable goods packing).
3. Plant 1000 receives parts E and F from Plant 2000
4. Plant 1000 packs all the parts in one cart (ABCDE+F) and issues the final product "X" and part E and part F to Plant 2000
5. Plant 2000 receives the final product X and part E and part F and as soon as GR done Part E and Part F should get consumed automatically in Plant 2000
6. Plant 1000 sends the invoice for the Parts A,B,C and D and for service also.
7. Plant 2000 pays invoice amount to plant 1000

Hi,
For the above process you can map with Sub con process
Step1 ) Create BOM in plant 2000 under cocd 2000 as End product /Header Material(X) and Component/child material as E and F
Step 2) Create Sub con PO in plant 2000 under cocd 2000 with Vendor as Plant 1000 under co cd 1000
Step 3) Transfer Component/child material E and F to Vendor as Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 using 541 Movt type.
Steps 4) In Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 maintain material E and F as Non Valuated only Qty update.
Step 5) Receipt the Component/child material E and F using Movt type 501 to update stock.
Step 6) Create BOM IN Plant 2000 under co cd 2000 as End product/ Header material as X and Component/child material as A, B, C , D, E & F.
Step 7) Create sales order in Plant 1000 under co cd 1000 with customer as plant 2000 under cocd 2000
Step 8) MRP run if require to plan the material A, B, C & D.
Step 9) Procure the material A, B, C & D if stock less.
Step 10) Create Production order/ Process order for Material X.
Step 11) Confirm production order and receipt the End material (X) AGAINST Production order.
Step 12) Crete out bond delivery VL01N for Material X and Goods issue (VL02N)
Step 13) Billing VF01
Step 14) MIGO goods receipt in Plant 2000 under co cd 2000 against Sub on PO here Material E & F will consumes upon GR and end/ Header Material X will updated Stock.
Step 15) MIRO to settle Vendor Account. Hope this will helps you.

Best Practices for ASAP Inputs - As-Is Business Process Mapping

I am new to the SAP world and my company is in the early phases of implementation. I am trying to prepare the "as-is" business process maps for the Project Preparation and Business Blueprint phases and I am looking for some best practices. I've been told that we don't want them to go too deep but are there best practices and/or examples that give more information on what we should be capturing and the format.
I have searched the forums, WIKI, ASAP documentation, and other areas but have not found much at this level of detail. I have reviewed the [SAP BPM Methodology|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPBPX/BPM+Methodology] but again I am looking for more detail if anyone can direct me to that.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
You can try to prepare a word document for each of your As-Is processes first before going to As-Is Process Design in a flowchart.
The word document can have 7 sections -
The first section can include Name of the Process Owner, Designation, Process Responsibility, User Department(s) involved, Module Name and a Document number for reference.
The second section can include Process Definition details - Name of the major process, Name of the minor process, Name of the sub process and a Process ID for future reference.
The third section can be titled as Inputs - this contains details of - Input, Vendor for the input, Type of Input (Data / Activity / Process), Category of Input (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The fourth section can be Process Details. Here you can write the process in detail.
The fifth section to contain outputs of the process, customer to whom these outputs are sent, type of output (report / approval / plan / request / email / fax), Category of Output (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The sixth section can be Issues / Pain Areas in this process - Issue Description, Remarks, Expectations, Priority (High / Medium / Low)
The seventh section can be expected reports in future out of this process for internal and external reporting.
Hope this helps your question.

SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0?

Any idea how we can get the SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0? Is this imbedded in Solution Manager?
Thanks,
Phani

Hello Phani,
I suppose you are looking for the solution maps for mySAP ERP (which contains SAP ECC as a component). These maps are not contained in the SAP Solution Manager, but they are delivered with the SAP Solution Composer, an offline PC tool which allows you to browse and pre-scope your own solution (evaluating your solution). The tool itself including the latest solution map content is always available for download at the SAP Service Marketplace:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/s-composer">http://service.sap.com/s-composer</a>
You can also view the mySAP ERP - as part of the cross-industry maps - right here:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&">http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&</a>
The SAP Solution Manager would then come into play for configuring the respective processes (implementing you solution).
Best regards,
Doreen Baseler
