Process change in SAP PPM: initialization of decision points

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

For one of my clients, I implemented process change in SAP PPM.

Example of the process:

- There is an item type A with decision point (DP) 1, DP 2 and DP 3

- At any DP, it is possible to trigger process change to go at item type B

- The item type B has the same decision points as those of item type A ==> there is a 1-1 relationship between DP of item type A and DP of item type B

My requirement is the following:

- If process change is triggered from item type A when DP is 2, the item type B will also be at DP 2

- However, I would like to initialize decision points and status when process change is triggered so that I begin at DP 1 for item type B.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Sanaâ.

Hi Sanaa,

You have :

                   Item Type A with DP-A.1 DP A.2 and DP A.3

And            Item Type B with DP-A.1 DP A.2 and DP  A.3

The decision points are the same then status doesn't change.

But if you have :

                   Item Type A with DP-A.1 DP A.2 and DP A.3 

And            Item Type B with DP-B.1 DP B.2 and DP  B.3

Where A.1 has the same description than B.1   and so on....

I assume that in this case the decision point will be restarted ( obvioulsy it is not the same decision point then all the manual actions you had done in the decision point , documents, notes, etc will be restarted)

Not sure if this covers your requirement, if not I think you will have to develop your requirement.

Hi Clara,

I have just tested with other decision points..

When I suppress them, I have the new ones with the same description but I am still not in the first decision point..

I think it will require further developement..

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Sanaa,

But, are all new decision points different to the old dp? Because if this is tha case the system should started in the first one.

Hi!

Yes I have created new DP's for item type B. However, when I start process change flow and choose delete DP's option, I am not in the first DP of item type B but in that one which is mapping with the DP of item A.

Hi Clara,

I have found a workaround. I have to" revert back to previous DP " after executing process change.

Hi

I am struck with the same issue. " revert back to previous DP " after executing process change. is not some thing will be acceptable to Client.

Any thing else can be done?
