Hi

Business Process varies from Client to Client:

Some of the Standard Business Process are as under:-

1. Normal Sales Order

Process: Inquiry (optional) --> Quotation (optional) --> Sales Order --> Delivery (Create outbound Delivery --> Picking (optional) --> Packing (optional) --> Post Goods issue(PGI)) --> Billing Document

2. Third Party Scenario

Process: Inquiry (optional) --> Quotation (optional) --> Sales Order --> Purchase Order (based on Purchase Requisition created in Sales order) --> Goods receipt (Optional - based on configuration) --> Invoice receipt --> Billing Document

3. Export Sales Order:

Process: Inquiry (optional) --> Quotation (optional) --> Sales Order --> Proforma Invoice (optional) --> Delivery (Create outbound Delivery --> Picking (optional) --> Packing (optional) --> Post Goods issue(PGI)) --> Proforma Invoice (optional) --> Billing Document

4. Scrap Sale:

Process: Inquiry (optional) --> Quotation (optional) --> Sales Order --> Delivery (Create outbound Delivery --> Picking (optional) --> Packing (optional) --> Post Goods issue(PGI)) --> Billing Document

5. Sales Returns:

Process: Return Sales Order --> ReturnDelivery (Create outbound Delivery --> Post Goods Receipt (PGR))

& to issue Credit note for returns:

Process: Return Sales Order (Change Mode - Remove Billing Block) --> Billing Document

Hello Venkat,

what is business process???plz explain in detailed.

A business process is a set of coordinated tasks and activities, conducted by both people and equipment, that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. Business process management (BPM) is a systematic approach to improving those processes. The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), a non-profit organization, exists to promote the standardization of common business processes, as a means of furthering e-business and business-to-business (B2B) development. To this end, the organization has developed the Business Process Modeling Language (BPML), an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based metalanguage for modeling business processes

Business Process Management in SAP Exchange Infrastructure:

Business Process Management provides SAP Exchange Infrastructure with functions for stateful message processing: The status of an integration process is persisted on the Integration Server. This means that you can specify how long an integration process must wait for further messages to arrive, for example. Furthermore, this enables you to process messages within an integration process further still; for example, you can collect certain messages and then send them in a particular order.

Cross-component Business Process Management is integrated into SAP Exchange Infrastructure: Integration processes are objects in the Integration Repository or Integration Directory and are integrated with the other objects, for example, message interfaces and so on.

The Integration Builder provides a graphical process editor in the Integration Repository for defining an integration process at design time.

At configuration time, you configure the receiver determination for the integration process in the Integration Directory of the Integration Builder.

At runtime, the Business Process Engine executes the integration processes. The Business Process Engine is part of the Integration Server. You monitor the execution of integration processes by using the monitoring functions of the Integration Engine.
