Documentation
Definition
A business process defines a business-related sequence of actions. The business process includes a variety of Business Objects. Error situations can occur during the processing of these Business Objects. The event triggers the creation of a Postprocessing Order for the Postprocessing Office. These types of errors can be fixed in the Postprocessing Office.
Use
In the Postprocessing Desktop, the business process is displayed as a selection criterion on the initial screen and as a filter criterion on the overview screen. This enables you to restrict the selection of the postprocessing orders for processing.
Dependencies
The business processes for which you can use the Postprocessing Office are contained in the Business Processes (/SAPPO/S_BPROC) system table.
You can create additional business processes in Customizing for the Postprocessing Office by choosing Business Processes -> Define Business Processes.
Example
1) In banking, end-of-day processing can be a business process, for example, execution of a standing order or creation of a card order file.
2) A calculation run for materials and products with inventory revaluation according to the standard price. If a material has a business-related lock on the revaluation, the error situation triggers a postprocessing order. You can use retry to solve this business-related conflict manually or automatically in the Postprocessing Office.
