Use

In this Customizing activity, you create the objects needed to create process definitions,and maintain the settings that determine key performance indicators (KPIs).

Three kinds of KPI are supported:

  • Count

    Determines the number of times an activity is repeated in a particular process instance.

  • Duration

    Determines the lead time or the time difference between 2 activities.

  • Classification

    A generic KPI. BRFplus rules are used to calculate these generic KPIs.

The settings or the entries which are maintained in this Customizing activity will be used during calculation of the KPIs.

Note

During calculation of a duration KPI, if a negative value is returned, it is set, by default, as "0".

For example, in process P, tasks are defined as A, B, and C. A duration KPI is customized to calculate the duration between the last occurrence of task A and the first occurrence of task B.

The process is executed as follows:

Task    Execution Time    Duration KPI Value (in seconds)

A    10/01/2011 11:00    0

B    10/01/2011 12:30    5400

A    10/01/2011 13:30    0 (calculated value is -3600)

Requirements

You have created a process definition in the view cluster POC_VC_PS_BND.

Standard settings

Activities

You can maintain the following:

  • Process definition header
  • Process version, tasks
  • Task assignment
  • Activity sequence flow

Note: SAP recommends you to maintain an activity sequence flow as they are useful for presentation purposes using applications such as process viewer, side panels, etc. An activity sequence flow is an optional activity and allows you to plan a possible sequence of execution for the tasks.

  • Process status
  • Business object type log activation

You can also maintain the following:

  • Count KPI
  • Duration KPI
  • Classification KPI
  • Optional callable business entity assignment
  • Integration point assignment
  • Integration points with restrictions
  • Realized process chain assignment
  • Realized process chain definition ID

Create entries in the following tables:

o    KPI / Metrics Engine (POC_C_PRC_KPI)

Lists all the KPIs supported in the application

o    KPI: Count (POC_C_KPI_COUNT)

Assign activity IDs to KPI type COUNT

o    KPI: Duration (POC_C_KPI_DURA)

Assign activity IDs to KPI type DURATION

o    KPI: Category (POC_C_KPI_CTG)

Assign activity IDs to KPI type CATEGORY. You must assign a BRFplus rule as the rule is used to determine the KPI.
