What is Business Process Monitoring Tool (BPMT)?

Dear colleagues
There is also a strange tool named Business Process Monitoring Tool (BPMT), provided as an Add-on installation within SAP Netweaver 701 SP06
[Note 1453759 - BPMT 701 Business Process Monitoring Tool: Installation|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1453759]
What is it, and how it is connected with SAP NW BPM?
Any explanation would be much appreciated

Hi,
this tool is to provide a business process monitoring within the ABAP stack. So you're able to get information about "how many processes of process X have not been finished, yet". This is based on several agents listening to the business process implementations (e.g. SAP Business Workflow) and provides those generated events to a monitoring engine.
As far as I know this component has not been released, yet. I don't know the delivery date (maybe in QII or QIII 2011) --> who know's?
Cheers
Martin

Business process reengineering in SAP?

Gurus,
what is business process reengineering in SAP?
pls elaborate with one example?

What is Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)?
Business Process Re-engineering simply implies eliminating tasks that does not add value to a business process while reorganization the value adding tasks. It can also be perceived as a restructuring of redundant dependent tasks or work order. It involves a re-thinking and consequently a re-moulding. In appreciating this concept, it is expedient to view a process as a "chain of tasks". The truth is that in a typical business process, you can have some redundant tasks that if not present does not really have any impact. Such tasks can be eliminated thus streamlining business process.
During ERP implementation, before a business process can be re-engineered, excellent understanding of the defective process is key. This is why it is important to first carry out a critical and objective business process definition and analysis before system design. At this juncture, it is important to state that when restructuring a business process, adherence to best practices is encouraged. This allows the client to be able to leverage the redefined business process externally and not only internally.
For business process reengineering to be successful and consequently, ERP implementation, the buy-in of the end users must be achieved. Often times, I've heard people say "this is how we have been doing it and we like it that way". It is important to convince the process owners why a re-engineering is needed. And the only way to do this is to make the user uncomfortable with his hitherto work methodology. As a matter of fact, setting up of an in-house restructuring team will help to foster users conviction within the organization. The members of the team should cut across all process owners.
Conclusively, the benefits of BPR are enormous. They include the following, but not limited to
1. Business process is streamlined.
2. Business process is optimized and more efficient.
3. Strict controls can be enforced and monitored.
4. Best practices can be adhered to.
5. Time and cost saving as a result of eliminated redundant tasks.

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.
Regards

How to learn the Business Process and how it is related to BI?

Dear Experts,
How to learn the Business Process? for example the business process from finance to sales. As I am more involved in technical development of BI; I dont know or having very hard time to understand what the business process. And how the Business Process is related to BI?
I think if I don't understand the business process than it is very hard to satisfy the User requirements. If you have any documentation please feel free to forward it to [email protected]
I wish you happy new year. Thank you in advance.
Aslam.

If only plan data entered, try to delete the planning data before delete the object and then re-create it again. Otherwise you may have to leave it as is and change the description for the usage by the different company code.

Business process manager using Apex

Has anyone implemented a declarative, generic business process/workflow engine similar to Oracle's BPEL Process Manager using Apex? There are some threads on this forum talking about BPEL's predecessor Oracle Workflow, an open source engine called PL/Flow and the like but they are more than 4 years old. I also see some survey/questionnaire type applications but they don't have process flow, routing, approvals, notifications and all that stuff. Other vendors have similar end-to-end solutions.
Comments? Thanks

Hi there,
I've been trying to find more information about the same subject but it does not seems to be a very popular issue, I'm shocked!
I've learned that 10g came with a workflow server buy it's not longer offered in 11g. The reason of course is to sell oracle BPMN/BPEL; unfortunately these tools are way out of my budget, they are good tools but extremely costly.
Therefore, i've done some research about open source alternative that i could merge with apex applications to include routing, approvals via email, notifications, etc. And luckly there are a lot, too many to list, take a look at the link below
http://java-source.net/open-source/workflow-engines
Let me know if you find osme other alternatives,
Thanks,

What is business proces

HI,
can any body tell me, what is business process?
Thanks
Srini.P

Hi,
Business process is a sequence of activities that are performed in a business. This process adds value,say ,vendor invoice processing is a business process.It involves so many stages like recieving PRs,PO processing,invoice verification etc.
This is brief about BP.

Who gives the list that contains which business process is to be implemente

hi ,good morning to all
i have a question
that is how a solution consultant comes to know that which business process/which business process step is to be implemented in particular scenario? (for eg nw ep)

The Business process represents the various activities [processes] involved in attaining a business goal.
For example,in a procurement scenerio,
1] The goal is procurement.In system we have to map this thro'Transaction code/s.
2] This [ procurement] process involve various activities such as [a] getting indent from the user dept <b> getting financial approval [specific /standing] [c] floating the tender /RFPs etc [d] getting the quote from the vendors [e]finalizing the vendor [f] placing the purchase order [g] recieving and inspecting the goods <i> pay the vendor.
Like this,for every scenerio/process we have the relevant activities.
Before SAP implementation the client performs the Business process Re Engineering [BPR] and correctly defines the various process/s and the relevant activities.Before implementation the cosultant performs a detailed discussion with the user group and obtains process flow chart and other relevant details.Thus the detail_ gathering is a culmination of interactive discussions with the client,the info.being provided by the client by means of standard documents,flow-charts etc,the experience and judgenment of the consultant.
This gives an idea about the whole scenerio.
Having known this,we can map in to the system using a T/code[relevant to each activity-say automatic paymentT/code.F110] and interpret the whole process in terms of T-codes.
The users test this using unit test and the integration test [ MM-FI interface using Account determination, for example] and verifies if the process has been mapped in full and correctly.The test once passed shows that you have configured adequately Vis A Vis the business requirements.
This is how the process in full is understood [by the consultant] and mapped in to SAP.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Highlight critical business Processes in SOLMAN

Hello everybody,
I know it is possible to categorize test cases in SOLMAN. But what about business Processes or Transactions?
Can I highlight them in order to reduce my test scope ? So I will immediately know which Object I must test when I’m upgrading my system.
Thank you so much in advance
Regards
Felix

Hi Felix,
You can use Business Process Change Analyzer (BCPA) to identify test scope or Scope and Effort Analyzer to estimate upgrade scope.
Manually within SOLAR01 you can use customer attributes to maintain flags or filters. These attribute scan be maintained within business process nodes and transaction objects.
Hope this helps,
Karl

Business process matrix list

Ask questions about various business steps.
And map those details in a document.

Re: What is a Business Process Expert?

Hello all,
Maybe we should open the discussion a bit beyond a "Human Centric" BPX. The main theme after all IS "The Business Process". There are hundreds, possibly thousands of Business Processes depending upon whether you categorize as micro or macro processes. Any one of these either on a micro/macro level function with or without human beings and may utilize machines that assist or automate value added activities/processes which produce higher value service or products in the age old scenario [input > process > useful output & waste output].
When we talk about Expert or Expertise, we are talking about precise know-how, and narrow domain knowledge wether depth or breadth knowledge.
Referring back to a post by Luis Rincones, regarding ideas and concepts leading to BPX, automation of the business process should be the KEY focus of a BP engineer. Back in the late 80's early 90's, we referred to these BP engrs. as "Knowledge Engineers" and their principal goals were to interview "Experts" in order to extract expert knowledge (sometimes 20+ years of experience) and understand not only the flow of the process, but more importantly the RULES which govern all exceptions and variations encountered within the process, as well as "rules of thumb" in case the RULES don't apply.
This is something which if we are truly to orient our Enterprise SOA architecture towards the goals of BPX mentioned above, will require a common "Rule Based Engine", which lives across all domains of knowledge, Objects, & environments, and works together with the design & development environment for the xAPP (I like to refer to them as "Expert Applications") and thereby enable not only the integration and homogenization of input data (via the technology stack), but also integrate the application of logic via a common rule based engine. In this way, E-SOA can also be enabled on the "useful" outbound process enabling services (actions) which mediate/manage/automate the process back to prescribed operating parameters.
Of course, people can not be eliminated from the process. Lexus factory in Korea back in 2002 operated with approx. 60 or so people, 150 robots, and produced >300 units per day. People were mostly involved in QA and deviation functions.
Automating the Business Process optimizes the output:input ratio and should minimize the waste:useful output ratio. By doing so, the ROI, ROA, and operating margins are maximized and competitive advantage gains against other not so able competitors.
Any one else has a few words on this?

You raise a very important and interesting question regarding whether there is any framework for narrowing down the domain of a Business Process Expert.
There are many frameworks out there:
http://www.bpmg.org/8omega.php
http://www.prosci.com/tutorial-design-mod1.htm
http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2004/volume08issue04/art11_collaboration/p01_abstract.htm
From my experience, it is beneficial to focus on a critical "life support" process for the corporation. Many times this can be started at the top level COO for instance, asking what is the # 1 thing which causes issues with customers, collections, services, etc.. One such item is "contract to cash" and specific sub-components of this process such as "unbilled hours" which if corrected prior to billing issuance will result in more accurate Invoices, and collections. An improvement of this nature shortens the cycle time of billing to collection, or hour entry to billing calculation, and with improved accuracy increases cash flow and lowers cost per transaction.
What you are suggesting in terms of Media expert, etc.. is more associated with Roles which are aligned with Solution Scenarios within SAP. Business Processes may span many roles, and are critical to the application being developed.
I believe this is the purpose of BPM, but would welcome any further comments from colleagues regarding framework.
Please take a look at the following BLOG as well as Lakshmikanth does a very good job explaning the landscape:
