You use this procedure to modify a business scenario of a project in BPB to enhance the business blueprint in SAP Solution Manager. You can perform any of the following modifications:

  • Add a new business process or an existing business process from Business Process Repository to the business scenario

  • Add a business process graphically and depict a flow diagram for the business scenario using palette elements

While you are editing a business process, other users do not have the permission to edit it unless you publish or revert your changes. You can drag a business scenario from Results and drop it in the Business Scenario List. For that, you need to check whether the logic components of both scenarios are compatible. Once compatibility is ensured, you can then modify the newly added Business Scenario.
