Business Blueprint in Projects 

Definition

A Business Blueprint documents the business process requirements of a company. In collaborative business processes, several companies are involved.

Use

The Business Blueprint gives you a general idea of how your business processes could be mapped in one or more SAP Systems. The Business Blueprint documents in detail the scope of business scenarios, business processes, process steps, and the requirements of an SAP solution implementation.

Structure

A Business Blueprint compises the following structure elements in a hierarchy:

·        Organizational Units

·        Master data

·        Business scenarios

·        Business processes

·        Process steps

You assign content, for example, project documentation, Business Configuration Sets, or transactions to individual structure elements, in the SAP Solution Manager.

You can also create structure elements for organizational units and master data, below a business scenario. You only use these structure elements if the organizational units and master data are only relevant to the business process above them in the structure.

Integration

The Business Blueprint is the prerequisite in the Solution Manager for configuration and test organization:

·        Configuration:

You configure your business processes with reference to the Business Blueprint project structure. You can also display and edit the project documentation from the Business Blueprint phase.

·        Test Organization:

You base all test plans that you create during test organization, on the Business Blueprint project structure. The transactions which you assign in Business Blueprint process steps, are put in test plans when you generate them. You can run these transactions as function tests, to test the transactions.
