Process Defination Document

[former_member686931]

Hi Group,

For customers who has already gone live with S4HANA Could you please let me know if you have created any documentation specific to your company  which is similar to the Blue Printing document? A document which outlines the Business Requirements , Business Processes , Scope IDs used, The Process Flows, the variations in the requirement , etc. 

Right now we do not have any documentation apart from the online documents provided by SAP.

Hello Mriganka

As Simon Pang has pointed out we do not use the term Business Blueprint in S4HC as the emphasis is on "Fit to Standard" and therefore if you are able to F2S then the individual scope item process flows provide the baseline.

For customers who are live I have seen them use Excel lists to keep track of the implemented scope items and I have seen them use modified versions of the test scripts to reflect configuration. The actual process flows can be downloaded as a BPMN model from the Best Practice Explorer such as J58 (Acct & Fin Close) attached below and these can be modified using a BPMN modeling tool. https://rapid.sap.com/bp/#/browse/categories/sap_s%254hana/areas/cloud/packageversions/BP_CLD_ENTPR/...

Of more interest may be the upcoming Cloud Implementation Portal which gives you a solid base of the configuration that has been done and links it to the Fit 2 Standard approach. If you are a customer you can access the MTE here https://s4hanacloud.community.sap/groups/D82g0dYPzM13yAISfwL8EY/events/qSy8ttCqR8ho615X0zxwl8

It's an interesting question - and depends a lot on your approach. I think that there are some topics (for example organisational structures and financial master data) where a more traditional approach will always be required - after all, you can't 'Fit2Standard' a client's business structure, as this is always unique - but to get the best out of the solution, there is always a level or creative thought needed in areas like this. I have always managed these through whatever project management tool is being used (we typically use jira as an organisation) - but will be interested on future projects to assess using the Implementation Portal.

Hi Mriganka,

In the S4HC implementation, we would not use the detail blueprint to document the requirements. We only use backlog to keep track the delta requirement. Please check the accelerator in the S4HC roadmap.
