Topic 63: Business Blueprint

[welcomewiki]

This function documents the business processes in your company that you want to implement in the system. In a Business Blueprint for Projects, you create a project structure in which relevant business scenarios, business processes and process steps are organized in a hierarchical structure. You can also create project documentation and assign it to individual scenarios, processes or process steps. You then assign transactions to each process step, to specify how your business processes should run in your SAP systems.

The Business Blueprint is a detailed description of your business processes and system requirements. You can print it out.

Integration

You can continue to use the project documentation and the project structure that you create during the Business Blueprint, in the configuration and test organization phases.

• When you configure your business processes, the system displays the Business Blueprint project structure. You can use the Business Blueprint project structure as a point of reference during configuration.
• You can also display and edit the project documentation from the Business Blueprint phase, during configuration.
• You base all test plans that you create during test organization, on the Business Blueprint project structure. The transactions that you assign to process steps in the Business Blueprint are put in test plans during test plan generation, and run as function tests to test the transactions.

Prerequisites

You have created a project of type implementation, template, or upgrade, in the project administration.

Business Blueprint in Projects

Definition

A Business Blueprint documents the business process requirements of a company. In collaborative business processes, several companies are involved.
Use

The Business Blueprint gives you a general idea of how your business processes could be mapped in one or more SAP Systems. The Business Blueprint documents in detail the scope of business scenarios, business processes, process steps, and the requirements of an SAP solution implementation.
Structure

A Business Blueprint comprises the following structure elements in a hierarchy:
·Organizational Units
·Master data
·Business scenarios
·Business processes
·Process steps




You assign content, for example, project documentation, Business Configuration Sets, or transactions to individual structure elements, in the SAP Solution Manager.


You can also create structure elements for organizational units and master data, below a business scenario. You only use these structure elements if the organizational units and master data are only relevant to the business process above them in the structure.
Integration

The Business Blueprint is the prerequisite in the Solution Manager for configuration and test organization:


·Configuration:
You configure your business processes with reference to the Business Blueprint project structure. You can also display and edit the project documentation from the Business Blueprint phase.


·Test Organization:
You base all test plans that you create during test organization, on the Business Blueprint project structure. The transactions which you assign in Business Blueprint process steps, are put in test plans when you generate them. You can run these transactions as function tests, to test the transactions.
