Relation between business process and functional area during the role search

Hi Experts,
We have 2 functional areas in which we have different business process involved.
During the Access request, if the user selects one functional area then business process related to that functional area should come.
Is there any functionality in GRC, where the mapping between functional are and business process to be done?
Thanks,
Sriram

Hi Sri,
there is relationship between 'Business process' and 'Sub-business' process as in configuration parameter you can setup that once business process is selected only relevant sub-process will be selected.
There is no such a relation between functional area and business process.

Difference between business blueprint and functional spec

hello
can somebody please tell me the difference between business blueprint and functional spec and how they are interrelated
Thanks

Hi Comandante,
Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client (The objects we need to develop are modified depending upon clients requirements).It represents the business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within SAP system.
Functional specifications (functional specs), in the end, are the blueprint for how you want a particular report and transaction to look and work. It details what the report will do, how a user will interact with it, and what it will look like. By creating a blueprint of the report or transaction first, time and productivity are saved during the development stage because the programmers can program instead of also working out the logic of the user-experience. It will also enable you to manage the expectations of your clients or management, as they will know exactly what to expect. Functional Spec streamlines the development process.
A functional specification is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. It guidelines and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code.
Other processes include Requirements, Objectives,Logic Specification,User documentation,The Final Product.
Hope this Helps, Revert for any further info.

Difference between Business Process and Workflow

Hi all,
What is the difference between Business Process and Workflow? i have googled it and I don't really understand that complicated definition? Is there any examples to illustrate the difference between the both?

Hi,
I will try to put here , my perspective of this. If somebody knows better, they can update further on this.
Business process is purely on the perspective of the users. It may or maynot have anything to do with the system. When a draw a business flow diagram, we dont take care of how each and every process is handled in the system. The best illustration is an example of authorisation.
Let me say that I create a Purchase requisition. Once it is released a PO will be created by procurement managerD
This is a business process. However if we look at the system perspective, it can be like this.
1. Create a PR.
2. Check the value of the PR
3. If value <$100,an email needs to be send to person A, if it is $100 to 300$, an email should be send to person B and if >$300, an email should be send to B and C.
4.Once it is released, an email shoudl be send to D for creating a PO on this PR.
Here not only the process, but also how the work is delegated across various entities of the process is mentioned.
There are softwards like VISIO which actually take care of the business process in the perspective of the entities involved in the process. A workflow is a moredetailed version of business process with the roles of entities clearly defined and hence configured well in the system.
The concept is workflow is mostly used in the processes of authorisations, business activity monitoring(BAM), etc.
Hope I make it little clear to you.

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

Diif between Stored procedure and function

HI
I want all the differences between Stored procedure and function.
Even the basic diff is Procedure does not return any value and Function must be...
Thansk In advance...

1) Functions are used for computations where as procedures can be used for performing business logic That's an opinion on usage not an actual difference.
3) You can have DML(insert,update, delete) statements in a function. But, you can not call such a function in a SQL query.Not true. As User defind functons limitations we can use a function that issues DML in a SELECT statement, if it uses the PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION.
4) Function parameters are always IN, no OUT is possibleEasily refutable...
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_f (p OUT NUMBER) RETURN DATE
2 AS
3 BEGIN
4     p := to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'DD'));
5     RETURN sysdate;
6 END;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> var x number
SQL> var d varchar2(18)
SQL> exec :d := my_f(:x)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print d
D
18-NOV-05
SQL> print x
         X
        18
SQL>
Stored Procedure :supports deffered name resoultion Example while writing a stored procedure that uses table named tabl1 and tabl2
etc..but actually not exists in database is allowed only in during creationNot sure what this one is about...
SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE my_p AS
2      n NUMBER;
3 BEGIN
4     SELECT count(*) INTO n
5     FROM tab1;
6 END;
7 /
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
SQL> sho err
Errors for PROCEDURE MY_P:
LINE/COL ERROR
4/4      PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
5/9      PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>
7) A procedure may modifiy an object where a function can only return a value.An ounce of test is worth sixteen tons of assertion...
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_f2 RETURN VARCHAR2
2 AS
3 BEGIN
4       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE what_ever (col1 number)';
5      RETURN 'OK!';
6 END;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> exec :d := my_f2
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> desc what_ever
Name                                      Null?    Type
COL1                                               NUMBER
SQL> I think there are only two differences between a procedure and a function.
(1) A function must return a value
(2) because of (1) we can use functions in SQL statements.
There are some minor difference in allowable syntax but they are to do withj RETURN values.

CRM Architecture: relations between business roles and transaction

Hello Experts!
I am dwelling on the topic of the relations between Business Roles, Transactions, Transaction Types etc. Do you know if there is any architectual diagram to make clear how these objects are related, and how they depend on each other?
Thank you for help!
Karolina

Hi Javier,
As far as I understand you want to restrict transaction types per business role.
You can achieve this by customizing. You can create a transaction profile in customizing for each business role and assign the transaction types you have created to this transaction profile.You can find this customizing activity in spro transaction.
Then you can assign transaction profile you have created to your business roile by assigning function profile 'transaction profile' to the business role in crmc_ui_profile tcode.
In this way when you login with the business role the transactions you have maintained in transaction profile will only be shown up in the pop up.
I hope this helps yiour requirement. Let me know if you require any further information. Thanks.

Difference between business process, sales process and order process

what is the difference between business process, sales process and order process?

Dear Gopala,
business process is a general definition of the process which you have:
for example, you get an order, you have no goods, but you can produce them, you start an assambly processing, the production order will be created, then the goods will be prepatred, then the delivery will be created, the goods issue booked then your customer gets thwe goods and send the delivery confirmation, you create an invoice etc.etc.
sales process is a part of a business process.
Sales process shows how you sell the goods, there are different sales document categories to do this: sales orders, contracts, scheduling agreements etc.
order process is only one of possibilities of the sales process.
Order process is used if you get really a one-time (or at lease not on a regular basis many times) the simple orders where your customer says what goods he would like to receive and when. Then you create a sales order (in dialog transaction VA01) and can create a delivery. There are different types of sales orders in the standard. The customizing of sales order types is available under the transaction VOV8.
I hope, this info help you a little bit further to understand SD design.
Kind regards,

Relation between Inventory Process keys and movement types

Dear All,
Is there any way to find the relation between Inventory process keys (which is in SBIW-> Settings for Application specific data sources(PI) -->Logistics -->Settings for IBU Retail / CP --> Transaction key maintenance for SAP BW) and movement types .
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Raju

Hi,
Please read the note below.
Note 353042 - Howto: Activate transaction key (PROCESSKEY)
It has something for you ....
The process key (0PROCESSKEY and 0BWAPPLNM) of the InfoSources has not been filled. As a result, no key figures are updated because of the update routine of the participating InfoCube and along with it no records are inserted into the InfoCube. In each update routine, the system checks the content of the PROCESSKEY. If this field has no contents, then no data is written into the InfoCube because of the IF condition in the update rules.
Solution
So that you can work in the above mentioned InfoSources, you MUST activate the determination of the process key. This is done with the help of Transaction MCB_ which you can find in the OLTP IMG for BW (Transaction SBIW) in your attached R/3 source system.
Here you can choose your industry sector. 'Standard' and 'Consumer products' are for R/3 standard customers, whereas 'Retail' is intended for customers with R/3 Retail only.
You can display the characteristics of the process key (R/3 field BWVORG, BW field 0PROCESSKEY) by using Transaction MCB0.
If you have already set up historical data (for example for testing purposes) by using the setup transactions (Statistical Setup Programs) (for example: Purchasing: Tx OLI3BW, material movements: OLI1BW) into the provided setup tables (for example: MC02M_0SCLSETUP, MC03BF0SETUP), you unfortunately have to delete this data (Tx LBWG). After you have chosen the industry sector by using MCB_, perform the setup again, so that the system fills a valid transaction key for each data record generated. Then load this data into your connected BW by using 'Full update' or 'Initialization of the delta process'. Check, whether the system updates data into the involved InfoCubes now.
If all this is not successful, please see Note 315880, and set the application indicator 'BW' to active using Transaction 'BF11'.
Hope this helps.

Diff. between business process masterlist and business process procedurelis

hello gurus,
pls tell me the main difference between business process master list and business process procedure list
so please help me in this matter.
regards,
muralidhar.t

hi,
Business process procdures ( normally called as BPP) are one which explain users how to perform a transaction or a series of transaction for carry out a business acitvity ( Like creating a PR, converting PR and releasing it).
Business procedure Master list ( called BPML ) is done in the begining of the project to define the scope and cover all the processes that the project will be covering . You will track all the deliverables on the project based on the BPML ( It will contain process and sub process descriptions )
Example : Order to cash --> Book order, Acknowledge order, Amend order, Ship , Bill, returns etc..)
Hope this should give you an idea. For details refer to implementation methodlogies ( like ASAP) .
cheers

Relation between GL Account and Invoice?

Hi Experts,
I am working with the FI reports for the first time and I do not have any idea on FI functional flow. I have some basic questions like
What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?
When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?
For example if I want to calculate " no of vendor invoices without PO how can I do that"? How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?
Thanks for any help in advance and I am bound to reward points.
Sri

What is the Relation between GL Account and Invoice?
SAP's Glossary for GL Account is
"A structure that records value movements in a company code and represents the G/L account items in a chart of accounts.
A G/L account has transaction figures that record changes to the account during a posting period. These figures are totals that are used for G/L reporting."
In accountancy, an account is a label used for recording and reporting a quantity of almost anything. For example when a company pays salary to its staff, They debit Salary account. This is to identify what is the nature of an expense.
An invoice is a message to the buyer of goods or services that contains, among other things, Name of the goods or services, Quantity sent, & Remuneration due.
Invoice is also a SD document used to charge a customer for a delivery of goods or for services rendered.
When will an Invoice be posted into BKPF, BSEG, BSAD, BSID, BSAK and BSIK? Is there any field in these tables which gives the Invoice number against which a GL Account is created?
If it were a vendor invoice. (i.e you purchase items or service and recieve invoice)
Invoice get posted to the tables once someone makes a Logistics Invoice verification through t-code MIRO etc. The teble RBKP gets the first posting.
If it were your own invoice to your customers, then VBAK and VBAP get the posting. The connectivity of tables are available in http://www.erpgenie.com/abap/tables.htm As far as SAP is concerned an invoice is a document, so you can only trace invoice as a document number, field name is usually BELNR. Even if a vendor invoice arrive, an internal invoice number is generated where the vendor invoice is entered only as a reference field. This is because, each vendor can have inovices of different size and pattern.
How can I know what are vendor invoices created against a PO or without PO?
For a purchase order you can find in table EKBE for BEWTP = Q any invoice document.
