Process Flow

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The process consultant analyzes the real-life business processes of a company and tries to map these processes into an optimized, workflow-compatible business process model. This may involve reengineering. The application scenarios supplied by SAP should be used as reference for this.

If no company-specific organizational plan exists or if there is one but it cannot be accessed from the system on which the workflow runs, the process consultant must create one.

All tasks and workflows in the system can be accessed via the Business Workflow Explorer. This includes the tasks used in the workflow scenarios. This graphic is explained in the accompanying text takes the user to the documentation on the scenarios.

Result

This results in a business process model, which is used by the workflow developer to implement a workflow. The work of the process consultant must produce a full organizational plan.
