In this step you create new business process groups or maintain existing groups.
You can define groups of similar business processes. Business process groups themselves can be combined into groups, resulting in a business process hierarchy.
The highest node of the standard hierarchy is normally the first business process group you created (see Maintain Standard Hierarchy of Business Processes). The groups you create thereafter form the remaining nodes of the standard hierarchy.
You can also create independent business process groups that are not part of the standard hierarchy. A business process can only be assigned to one hierarchy group. However, it can be assigned to any number of independent business process groups.
You can create independent business process groups only in this transaction or in the Activity-Based Costing menu under Master Data -> Business Process Groups -> Create.
You use business process groups in:
- The information system
- Processing multiple processes in one transaction (such as allocations)
Requirements
You must already have created a controlling area and fully defined it.
Activities
- Structure the activities in your company and derive from them your business processes and the structure of the business processes.
- Enter the group to be created or changed and choose "Enter".
- In the structure screen, select the node from which the group is to be extended and choose "Same level" or "Lower level".
Data fields appear at the selected location in the tree structure.
- Enter a name and a text for the new node.
- Confirm by choosing "Accept changes".
- To assign values to an end node, select the node and choose "Insert value".
Data fields appear in the tree structure.
- Enter a "From" value and, if necessary, a "To" value.
- Confirm by choosing "Accept changes".
The selected values appear together with the name.
Note on transport
For the transport of settings for Activity Based Costing, an individual function is available in the IMG for "General Controlling".
