Change Request Framework Technical Concept

(Logical) Action Domain independent (e.g. Create)

Business Activity Domain specific (e.g. Create Airline)

Change Request Type Specific processes (e.g. Create Airline simple)

Change Request Step Types Process step specific types (e.g. Check Chg Request)

Action Change request step specific (e.g. Agree)

Change Request Step (Number) Process specific step number (e.g. 1-Evaluation)

Change Request Process Configuration Enhanced Flexibility – UI Navigation & Adaptation

Business Activity – General Settings -> Process Modeling -> Business Activities

-> Create Business Activity

Navigation Table - General Settings -> Process Modeling -> Business Activities -> Link

Actions with UI Application and Business Activity

Based on the change request step (if available) the system

checks if a specific UI is configured

The system gets the Business Object Type (BO Type)

for the relevant Business Activity.

The system checks if the UI can be obtained from

the navigation table

based on the logical action

The system obtains the UI from change

request type, data model or

personalization (as in EHP5).

Floorplan Manager User Interfaces Context Based Adaptation

Context Based Adaptation (CBA)

Context Based Adaptation offers UI configuration depending on the data displayed on the screen.

Other adaptation techniques do not offer this (and are either user-, client- or system-specific).

MDG Applications deliver prebuilt integration into CBA.

Context Based Adaptation (CBA) Use-Cases

Need for data-dependent adaptations

Business Partner: Address format depending on the „Country‟

Material: Displaying or Hiding Classification depending on „Material Type‟

Change Request Process Enhanced Flexibility with Change Request Step Properties


Change Request Process Enhanced Flexibility - Change Request Step Properties

For each Change Request Step Business Process

Experts now can:

Define enhancements and checks

Enrich parts of data by assigning an

enrichment spot.

Skip unnecessary checks.

Ensure validations occur by assigning checks.

Set field properties for entity types and attributes

Specify which fields are relevant, and which

relevant fields are required, by setting field

properties.

Assign a user interface

Assign a different Web Dynpro Application to

the standard one configured for the data model

General Settings -> Process Modeling ->

Change Requests


Change Request Process Enhanced Flexibility – Enhancements and Checks per CR Step

Business process experts can apply enrichment spots and

checks to a change request step.

Checks and Enrichment Spots

Basic check (e.g. numeric vs. alpha numeric)

Existence check (check if value exists in check table)

Duplicate check (identify potential duplicates)

Authorization check (check user authorities)

Validation rules (as defined in BRF)

BAdI Validations (coded validations)

Reuse area check (in reuse class)

Sequence

The sequence in which enrichment spots are executed

Message Output

Set the severity of messages raised (error or warning)

Relevant

Sets the relevance of a check. Dependencies exist

with field properties on entity type and attribute level

(see next slides)

Execution

Always executed / Executed when data changes

General Settings -> Process Modeling -> Change Requests ->

Configure Properties of Change Request Step

Enhancement Spots and Checks per Change Request Step


Change Request Process Enhanced Flexibility – Set Field Properties and Check Logic

Business process experts can determine the system

logic that answers the following questions about fields

within a change request step:

Is a field required?

Field properties

Is a field relevant (used)?

Field properties

Which checks are applicable?

Combination of field properties and check logic

interfaces at every level from the change request step

upwards.

Self-defined Validations and Derivations Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus)

For the definition of the validation rules you launch

a dedicated application from the IMG activity

“Define Validation and Derivation Rules”.

The definitions of the rules are

specific to one particular data

model.
