Business process model

The combination of business processes related to a project model is referred to as a Business Process Model.

Business processes reflect the working order of an organization. When you have defined these processes in the repository, they can be included in a project model. The Business Process Model can be made specific for an organization by including the relevant processes from the repository.

This can be done automatically by carrying out the transformation rules, which are based on the selected business functions in the Business Function Model, or by importing the relevant business processes from the repository.

The results of the implementation choices that influence the working order in an organization are displayed in the business processes by activated and de-activated paths for each optimization phase; this is done automatically by carrying out the static condition setting rules defined in the repository.

However, you cannot use this session to modify business process data; this can only be done in the Business Processes (tgbrg5500m000) session in the repository.

The result of linking these optimization phases to the business processes is that the processes are included when Process Browsers are created by optimization phase.

Therefore, the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000) session only shows those business processes linked to the selected optimization phase.

To display all business processes linked to the project model, click Select All.

To assign all optimization phases as current, on the Zusatzoptionen menu of the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000) session, click Set all Optimization Phases as Current.

This means all business processes in the project model are displayed in the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000) session.

To include business processes in a project model using the Business Function Model and the transformation rules linked to the business functions in the Business Function Model, use the Transform Function Model to Process Model by Project Model (tgbrg4200m000) session.

This session automatically imports the relevant business processes based on the business functions included in the Business Function Model. This transformation is carried out by evaluating the transformation setting rules. These rules select certain business processes based on the presence of business functions in the Business Function Model. Before the actual transformation takes place, you must specify whether the existing model must be purged, or whether existing business processes may be overwritten by new corresponding processes.

The results of the implementation choices that influence the working order in an organization are displayed by activated and de-activated paths in the business processes.

The transformation is carried out for the combination of the current modeling version and the selected project model.

To import a range of business processes from the repository into the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000) session, without importing the business processes manually, use the Import Range of Business Processes (tgbrg3260m000) session.

If you select the Overwrite check box, the business processes present in the project model are overwritten by the business processes you import.

If you click Expand Process Structure on the Zusatzoptionen menu, the subprocesses linked to the business processes you have selected are displayed in the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000) session.

These subprocesses receive a sequence number that falls in the same series as the sequence number of the main business process. The subprocesses are not physically copied into the project model, but a link is made to the subprocesses in the repository.

If you use collapse, the Process Browser in worktop and Web UI will always start with the Main Business Process; this will take longer to build up.
