A structured process is a business process with a template assigned in the master data. You define the allocation relationships and structure of the business process in the template.
A structured process shows a transaction-oriented process flow within an organization, which can consist of subprocesses, activity relationships, and tasks. The process flow corresponds to the allocation relationships for activities produced by subprocesses or cost centers, claimed by tasks. Tasks represent the lowest level of the business process breakdown, but do not result in costs. They are recorded in Controlling though the activity type is assigned to a cost center.
The structure and allocation relationships are described in a template. This template can be set in the master data of a business process.
Structured processes determine and represent the different relationships of business processes to one another as well as to cost center activities, demonstrating the relationships, cost flows, and activity quantity flows for a given business process.
Example
Structured processes can consist of several subprocesses, which in turn can be broken down into further subprocesses. These can claim the activities of cost centers directly as tasks.
Requirements
Before you create a structured process, you must create a template that stores cost center activities, subprocesses, or other templates. In addition to the business process relationships, you can also save the cost center activities produced for the structured process or its subprocesses.
To create a structured process, assign an existing template to the business process master data.
When you specify the structure and allocation relationships in the template and the link to the business process, you determine the overall structure of the structured process.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system structured processes use the sample template from the SBP environment.
Recommendation
You must make a hierarchical subdividion of the allocation relationships in structured processes. Be sure there are no closed loops, as these will result in the termination of the allocation calculations.

for structured business processes and assign this to the master record of the business process you have selected.
