Definition

Indicator defining whether a business process adds value from an internal perspective, meaning the process is important in the eyes of management, and classified in a ranking list.

High value added means that the process is absolutely essential for output. Processes with low value added are performed as little as possible or only under exceptional circumstances.

Example

Reporting to management is a process with high value added from an internal point of view.

Internal value added is one of five attributes available in the standard R/3 System.

Attributes characterize processes. When allocating processes to processes/cost objects, attributes are transferred to the transaction data where the receiver views and evaluates them. Overwriting attributes defined in the master data record is possible within the allocations (cycles). This makes detailed evaluation and analysis possible in reporting.

You can assign any attributes you wish to the classifications.

The classifications are as follows:

  • process category
  • ranking of internal value added
  • ranking of external value added
  • cost behavior
  • additional attribute

Up to and including Release 3.0, the attributes can be directly assigned to business processes only. They can assigned indirectly to other objects when defining the assessment cycle.

These attributes are then visible on the receivers.

Example: Processes A, B, and C allocate to cost object Y. Process A is of category "Sales", B of category "Administration", and C of category "Sales".

Process A Process B Process C
$1000 $2000 $3000
\ | /
\ | /
Cost Object Y
(Total $6000)
Sales $4000
Admin $2000

In the cost object you see, among other data, that $4000 was allocated from sales processes and $2000 from administration processes. This example could be used for any of the other classifications. All the data is passed on to the receiver.
