Modeling Business Processes in Solution Documentation

You use the Solution Documentation to model your business processes.

The Solution Documentation of SAP Solution Manager integrates SAP Project and Portfolio Management as well as Change Request Management of SAP Solution Manager. You use the Solution Documentation to document your core business processes and the system landscape. In Focused Build projects, the Solution Documentation links your business process models and application landscape to requirements, work packages, and documentation.

During a discovery workshop, you do the following:

  • Create process definitions

    A process is a set of logically related activities and executes functions in systems to achieve a business goal. You create new processes in the column browser of the Solution Documentation.

  • Create process diagrams

    The graphical process editor of the Solution Documentation provides process diagrams based on the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) for all business processes in your business process model. For more information about BPMN, see http://www.bpmn.orgInformation published on non-SAP site.

    For each process definition, you can create multiple process diagrams representing different perspectives on the process. For example, you can organize diagrams by participant role or by system. You can publish your process models for feedback.

  • Document the application landscape

    The application landscape is a description of the most important applications that are part of the implementation scope.

  • Create Solution Documentation libraries (optional)

    You can create libraries for re-use content, such as process steps.
