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

  • Regarding Configuring WS-security in Oracle Business Process Managers

    Hi All,
    Actually I like to invoke couple of secure services running on seperate server.These services are secured using WS-security.So I am just wondering how to configure Oracle Business process Manager so that process bpel file uses the certificates.I could not find any relevant documentation Is there any documentation available which explains how to do this?

  • Regarding Oracle Business Process Manager and WS-Security

    Hi All,
    Actually I like to invoke couple of secure services running on seperate
    server runnnig JWSDP.These services are using WS-security,so I am just
    wondering if it possible to call these webservices through Oracle
    Business Process Manager.
    As our secure services are using JWSDP so thats the reason we prefer to
    use the BPEL engine which deployed on top of JWSDP so that We dont
    have to confront with compatable issues among different toolkits.
    So I am just wondering do you think that Oracle business process manager
    ws-secuirity implementation can use the JWSDP implementation i.e
    xws-security implementation,in otherwords is it possible to use JWSDP
    with Oracle business process manager for using the ws-security?Thanks.
    I would appreciate your help.

  • 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

  • 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
    Anand

    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.
    Regards Anand

  • How to downloadin Business Process Repository in Solution Manager?

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to download whole Business Process Repository from solution manager?
    I know how to download BPR, that are related to project, to excel file, but I want to download all the scenarios,processes are inbuilt to the Solution Manager business blueprint.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks,
    Mahantesh

    Hello Mahantesh,
    I suppose that your idea behind this question is that you would like to browse the contents of the BPR. For this specific pupose, SAP will deliver a new web dynpro application with SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP 12 and the respective stack coming out mid June 2007 which allows you to browse all BPR contents in your SAP Solution Manager system. So you no longer have to create a seperate project and select the contents via F4 value help in SOLAR01 in order to access the contents.
    For further updates, please check the news mid June:
    <a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>
    Media Library -> Technical Papers. It will probably be called: "4.0 Support Package Stack <latest stack> [probably stack 12]"
    However, please note that an individual download of the entire or partial BPR structures into MS Excel will not be possible.
    Best regards,

  • Error while converting BPMN to BPEL in Business Process Architect

    Hey,
    I am using Business Process Architect 11gR1 where I have modeled my process. Now that I have to move this model to BPM, I am using the option SOA -> share blueprint with IT in BPA. A dialog appears that asks to validate the model. I confim with "Yes" and it shows the conversion progress bar but after the while an error appears (a java exception). A report opens in my browser that has the following message
    Validation of a service-oriented BPMN model in Oracle BPA Suite
    Structure rules for BPMN in Oracle BPA Suite
    Rules for a service-oriented BPMN model in Oracle BPA Suite

    can anyone please help me as to why this happens and how it can be sorted out?
    Edited by: user10303310 on Dec 13, 2011 3:10 AM

    Hi Julika,
    The error message might not be related to the activities itself. I assume your model is not well structured. Consider that the following points aren't disregarded:

  • 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.
