Module-specific checklist for business process requirements mapping?

Hi,
I am looking for some ASAP tools to support the business process requirements mapping phase of an implementation. The best would be to have a checklist, a sheet of questions to ask during the meetings so that each requirements are considered when creating the business processes in solution manager.
Anyone can recommend me such material?
Thanks in advance,

    how to study business process requirements in sd implementation project?

    Hi chandu,
    I will suggest you first go through the document given below
    SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to implement SAP software in an organization. The SAP implementation method described in this entry is a generic method and not a specific implementation method as such. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software.
    Concept Definition
    CHANGE MANAGEMENT ***Activities involved in (1) defining and installing new values, attitudes, norms, and behaviors within an organization that support new ways of doing work and overcome resistance to change; (2) building consensus among customers and stakeholders on specific changes designed to better meet their needs; and (3) planning, testing, and implementing all aspects of the transition from one organizational structure or business process to another. (www.gao.gov)
    CHANGE MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION All documentation that is required and being delivered whilst performing change management, e.g. the functional test cases and all the other documents a new end-user of SAP requires and the various tools and approaches used to manage change by the TSO. (Anderson, 2003)
    COST OF OWNERSHIP ANALYSIS Determination of where and when the costs are inquired within the context of the SAP solution stack and ongoing operations. The analysis addresses all internal and external costs, both one-time as well as recurring (Anderson, 2003)
    CUTOVER The process of transitioning from one system to a new one (Anderson, 2003)
    CUTOVER PLAN All documentation related to planning, preparing and executing cutover, describing how to lock down the system from a technical change management perspective, preparing the TSO for its new role and rolling out the SAP graphical user interface to all future end users. (Anderson, 2003)
    DATA CENTER A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. (www.wikipedia.org)
    DATA CENTER REQUIREMENT A requirement for the SAP data center, i.e. a physical requirement like power requirements, a rack requirement, a network infrastructure requirement or a requirement to the network server. (Anderson, 2003)
    DISASTER RECOVERY (DR) REQUIREMENT Requirement that focuses on downtime that lasts many hours to days or even weeks (Anderson, 2003)
    FUNCTIONAL TEST CASE A set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a certain business process works (www.wikipedia.org)
    HIGH AVAILABILITY (HA) REQUIREMENT Requirements that describes the amount of time that the system needs to be available to satisfy the needs of the users. (Anderson, 2003)
    INSTALLATION DOCUMENTATION All documentation related to the installation of an end-to-end SAP solution (Anderson, 2003)
    OPERATIONS MANUAL The collection of current state system documentation, day-to-day and other regularly scheduled operations tasks, various installation and operations checklists and how-to process documents. (Anderson, 2003)
    SAP SAP AG is the name of the biggest European software company. The head office is in Walldorf, Germany. SAP was founded in 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("Systems Analysis and Product") by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany. (www.wikipedia.org)

    SOLUTION VISION A vision of the future-state of the SAP solution (Anderson, 2003)
    STRESS TEST PLAN A test plan that is focused at determining the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. (www.wikipedia.org)
    TEST PLAN A detail of how the test will proceed, who will do the testing, what will be tested, in how much time the test will take place, and to what quality level the test will be performed. (IEEE 829)
    TRAINING The acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relates to specific useful skills (www.wikipedia.org)
    TRAINING PLAN Consisting of training units, a training plan is the result of hierarchical decompositions of a training goal, tailored according to the learning preferences and prior knowledge of the trainee. A plan is the means by which the trainee satisfies the goal. (www.ece.eps.hw.ac.uk/)

  • New Business Process Requirement

    Hi All,
    I have a new business process requirement from my client.
    My Client has their own product which they do normaly sell them and is called product A. Now they are planning for some new products. For this they purchase some WIP materials called product B & C from vendors and assemble them along wth product A. The assembled product which is called D is sold as finished product. this product D consists of product A and product B&C. Now in this type of scenario what should be the planning strategy? And also please let me know how to incorporate the assembling part in the present SAP system?
    Thanks,
    Rinky

    Rinky,
    What is the problem?  D is just another finished goods.  Is there something unique about this scenario?
    D BOM = A, B, C
    D assembly effort is contained in D routing, the same way you would create a routing for any other FG product.
    D strategy is whatever your client wants.  MTS?  MTO?  Forecasted?  You pick the strategy the same way you would pick any other FG planning strategy.
    A you need change nothing
    B you need change nothing
    C you need change nothing
    Am I missing something here?

  • 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 .

  • Timed out waiting for Business process

    Hi,
    I created a web application using evision in JCAPS 512. It works properly. But some times i am getting an error message as
    "Timed out waiting for business process" when i try to access the web page usign url.
    But if i invoke page again then application works properly.
    I have increased server response timeout value also. But couldn't get
    the reason when it will occur.
    Please let me know what is the reason for this problem. If this error occurs please let me know is it possible to show some other page instead of displaying error to user.
    Regards
    Venkatesh.S

    Good day.
    I have a similar problem and I have managed to pinpoint when it fails but unfortunately I don't know how to fix it yet.
    In my scenario, I have 2 separate processes:
    the first process reads data from a Seebeyond SRE instance and stores it on a local Java CAPS queue.
    The second process is an EVision process that reads the data from this queue and displays it on a page.
    Whenever I am not connected to the network linking my Java CAPS instance to the Seebeyond SRE instance (first process cannot connect ) I get this problem on the EVision side every second time I request a page. This means I can view the first message on the queue and then I have to restart the Logical Host
    This doesn't make sense to me, since The EVision process is a completely separate process, deployed in it's own WAR file.

    Hi Kamil,
    I'm guessing you are talking about encountering these issues post MLR# 7 patch.
    Here are some of the things ypu could start off with:
    1. Check your LS Inventory to see if your patch was applied successfully
    2. Ensure that all the post installation steps were performed (in the readme file)
    3. You could rollback this patch and check if you are still getting the same error.
    4. After rollback, if your config works fine, rerapply the patch again and observe the effects.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Suhas.

  • 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.
    I have two company codes and one company code does the export business and other one supplies some parts to exports company code.
    Please find the scenario details in below.
    Company code 1000                 Company Code 2000 (Exports)
    Plant 1000                               Plant 2000

    (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.

    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.

  • Effective Language for Business Process Modelling in a Web Community

    It's a very exciting idea of having business process definition/innovation a community driven process.
    Just Imagine a stituation where somebody can innovate a process on a theoritical level which is then perfected by   business community opinion/examples for benchmarking, effectiveness, relevance etc.
    The ultimate business community dream would be Finding their process in the community. Finding merits and demerits of their process. Explore for a refinement to the process. Getting a copy of their newly created process and
    droping it into their IT system and the wonderful IT system upgrading itself to the new process and executing it.
    The Impact of simplification would be enormous:
    Just check out the possibilities
    Every businessman would be an IT user to get ideas for business and business execution
    The IT Guy would be recognized as process maker
    For a business entity Presentation during AGM could be extra transparent :-).
    A very concrete step in this direction would be to have a language or tool which is very easy to understand and drives people for exploration.
    My Wish would be a Visual web tool which defines a specific business process in the most simple form, and from there somebody can explore the enhancements to the process.
    For example a simple selling process done in medicine shop is
    listening the order verbally , delivering it immediately, getting cash immediately and [typing the Invoice on XL or Word or POS machines], printing it and then giving to Customer.
    after selecting this business process on the tool one should be able to explore the possible process
    enhancements with known business benefits
    like
    a) offer credit facility to customer--> just a worklist to collect pending money
    b) take order now and supply later for non available medicines
    c)Start home delivery
    The businessman should be able to select (1) or (2) which then becomes his new process.
    This can be sent to his IT landscape which should be able to interprete it and then grow itself Ah.... 
    dreaming
    [or atleast the model should tell the IT guy what to do!!].
    The generic business Process enhancements Options are not too many and can be defined and classified
    See the Options in the above mentioned business process context
    1)Automation[Create Purchase order from ]
    2)Increasing depth [The above example a,b,c are for increasing depth]
    3)Step simplification[In the above example instead of word using the POS Machine is simple]
    4)Resource utilization[If you have a PC and don't want to buy POS Machine then type the invoice on a Word :-)]
    5)Delegation
    5)Workforce optimization {any examples :-)community driven}
    7)Process optimization (How to deliver the medicine route wise)
    8)Colloboration (Using courier to send medicine)
    9)Knowledge provision (giving sales/payment trends,)
    The idea is so simple but making this tool highiely context(business) sensitive and intuitive is challenge.
    But anyway it's not impossible to have a business process language which is effective and an IT systems for which starting point is a business process. The IT system which takes your business process and executes them
    wonderfully.
    looking forward for this future

    Hi Dilip,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    I'm also interested to know from community what are different tools used by them for process modelling?
    What are their merits?
    1)are they easily understandabale
    2) do they come with business context
    3)whether they can be used in a web comunity? Like somebody can give feedback or business case for a particular business process/step.
    4)Does it drive the IT automation
    5)Are there any appservers which take business model and generate/grow applications
    6)How the different modelling applications should communicate?
    7)Common standards
    For example
    I have used rational rose and RAD like VB they are complicated/simple enough to generate model based applications but the business representation and business context is totally missing. I would seek something with more business context or knowledgebase.

  • Adapter Specific Paramters for Integration Process in Configuration

    I want to send the data from flat file to idoc through BPM
    While doing configuration do I need to explicitly give Adapter specific parameters(Logical System Name) for BPM(Integration Process) or not?

    FILE-->BPM--->IDOC(R/3)
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    why would you require Adapter specific parameters (I assume you mean Adapter specific Attributes) - Logical System should be there through the routing (Receiver Determination). What exactly do you want to accomplish by that?

  • Using SOAP-JMS binding for business process

    Hi all,
    We are currently designing one business process which consume MQ messages. The MQ message body is SOAP XML. SOAP Headers carry business specific important data section, so we don't want to loose these headers at any cost. The message consumer is the Websphere process choreographer business process, reading message as a JMS message. When we develop the business process, we are planning to use SOAP-JMS binding. But problem with SOAP-JMS binding is: when the MDB reads the message off the message queue, it strips off all the SOAP headers and delivers only the SOAP body. Is there a way to make this behaviour change to keep the SOAP headers? You may suggest to use JMS bindings, but JMS binding will send the message body as WSIF message (as a serialized java object). I'm not sure of how easy it is to marshalling/unmarshalling of this serialised object. My main concern is around, how to identify the "type" of the message while marshalling. Would writing our own MDB solve the problem? Again MDB's sends messages as WSIF messages to the business process EJB's, which I guess I get stumble across the same marshal/unmarshall problem. Hope I made myself clear of what i'm going trying to do. Any advice is highly appreciated.

    Hello Markus,
    I just paste my answer form the other forum entry Re: Business process management strategy in SAP?
    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.
    Best Regards
    Volker
