Defining business processes
The starting point for this step is the construction and operational structure of the company. Ideally, this is already well documented before otherwise it is catch up at this point. For projects that where an existing system to R / 3 is to be converted is the Focus of this work in the observation and analysis of vulnerabilities in the previous process flows. In this criticism of certain Workflows within the company is understandably a certain Sensitivity required. The adoption of certain methods of investigation helps with the "contained in a question and answer ASAP tools" the implementation of the analysis.
In the other case, if an application without an existing precursor system is created, the requirements of the targeted Goals identified.
Tools for modeling
Often, many of the processes provided by SAP Reference Structure not out. In addition, there is a possibility, with an interface ASAP to work with the following modeling tools:
• Prof. Scheer's ARIS, IDS
• VISIO Business Modeler for Visio
• Live Model of IntelliCorp
• Enterprise Charter of Micrografix
The modeling tools enable new enterprise-specific business scenarios and the variations of existing processes and business scenarios and processes constitute the R/3-Referenzstruktur. The SAP provides additional successively more business models (eg for automotive manufacturers and suppliers) available. The branch models can be further modeled will. The tools set different priorities in the functions and customization of the SAP R / 3. What modeling tool is preferable, may be established by a detailed examination of the tools will.
Comparison with the SAP Reference Structure
The resulting business processes are following functionality the corresponding SAP application components compared. Working basis for the process representation of the SAP reference structure can be.
It includes a variety of predefined processes for determining the company-specific processes. It is determined that the appropriate R/3-Funktionen for the company are to be determined and used to support the processes.
Special attention is paid to find:
• The implementation of enterprise-specific organizational structures in R / 3 (client, company codes, cost centers, plants, etc.)
• Analysis of work processes
• The allocation of responsibility for functions and processes
• Tests on the feasibility of the R / 3
• Requirements for reporting (reports, lists, forms)
• Requirements for interfaces to transfer data between R / 3 and other software systems This results in a set of processes with existing Capabilities of the SAP software can be realized. It also follows the previously described matching the amount of necessary modifications or extensions of the standard.
