BusinessProcessCOGrp

The object Business process grouping contains the dividing up of
bvsiness processes for evaluation purposes or for specification of rules of common validity.

Within a cost accounting area a standard hierarchy is first defined for
the dividing up of business processes. Each business process must be
assigned to a business process standard grouping, that is, to a node
within the standard hierarchy. For the standard groupings a multi-level hierachy can be defined.

In addition to the standard groupings, other business process groupings
can be defined. These can in turn be grouped together or refined
level-by-level through hierarchical assignments. In these alternative hierarchies standard groupings can also be included.

Available Methods

• AddNode : Insert new nodes in a business process group [ BAPI_BUSPROCESSCOGRP_ADDNODE ]
  
• Create : Create business process group [ BAPI_BUSPROCESSCOGRP_CREATE ]
  
• GetDetail : Read business process group [ BAPI_BUSPROCESSCOGRP_GETDETAIL ]
  
• GetList : Index of business process groups [ BAPI_BUSPROCESSCOGRP_GETLIST ]
  

AddNode

Inserting a new node in a business process group.

The group SubGroupName is inserted as the last subordinate node in the group GroupName. The controlling area of the group is entered in the parameter ControllingArea; both groups must already exist.

If an error occurs during insertion, the error message is issued in the Return parameter.

Notes

You require the authorization for object K_CBPR_SET und K_ABC.

You may only change thestandard hierarchy compatibly using this method. You cannot insert a group that already
contains business processes.

Create

Creating or changing a business process group

All the groups from the table HierarchyNodes are created in the system. The controlling area of thegroups is entered in parameter ControllingAreaImp; any existing groups are overwritten.

Information about the nodes of a hierarchy is transferred to the table HierarchyNodes. This table contains the group names and the description for each node in the hierarchy. The hierarchy structure isportrayed via the order of the nodes in the table and the level of the node in the HIERLEVEL field.

If values or value intervals are assigned to a node, then the entry in the VALCOUNT field shows the number of assigned values or value intervals. These are transfered to the HierarchyValues table in the order in which these appear in the hierarchy.

Example

The group 'GROUP1' has the following structure:

  GROUP1

   |

   |---- GROUP11

   |  |

   |  |---- GROUP111

   |     |

   |     |---- VALUE1

   |

   |---- GROUP12

      |

      |---- VALUE2

      |---- VALUE3 - VALUE9

The HierarchyNodes table thus contains the following entries:

GROUPNAME HIERLEVEL VALCOUNT

GROUP1 0 0

GROUP11 1 0

GROUP111 2 1

GROUP12 1 2

Only the nodes GROUP111 and GROUP12 contain values or intervals, the HierarchyValues table therefore contains the following entries:

VALFROM VALTO

VALUE1 VALUE1

VALUE2 VALUE2

VALUE3 VALUE9

Groups can contain either values or other groups, i.e. only the end nodes of the hierarchy contain values.

If the optional parameter TopNodeOnly is set to 'X', only the
first node in the hierarchy table can be created or changed. In this case the table HierarchyNodes, in addition to these nodes, may only contain level 1 nodes. These nodes must already exist in thesystem, here they are merely attached to the first node. In this way,
for example, an existing large hierarchy can be extended by attaching anew sub-tree without the hierarchy having to be completely recreated.

If an error occurs when you create a group, the error message is issued in the parameter Return.

Notes

You require the authorization for object K_CBPR_SET und K_ABC.

You may only change the standard hierarchy compatibly using this method. You may not move, insert or removebusiness processes or sub-trees containing business processes.

GetDetail

Reading a business process group

The business process group GroupName from controlling area ControllingArea is read.

If an error occurs during reading, the error message is issued in the Return parameter.

Information about the nodes of a hierarchy is transferred to the table HierarchyNodes. This table contains the group names and the description for each node in the hierarchy. The hierarchy structure isportrayed via the order of the nodes in the table and the level of the node in the HIERLEVEL field.

If values or value intervals are assigned to a node, then the entry in the VALCOUNT field shows the number of assigned values or value intervals. These are transfered to the HierarchyValues table in the order in which these appear in the hierarchy.

Example

The group 'GROUP1' has the following structure:

  GROUP1

   |

   |---- GROUP11

   |  |

   |  |---- GROUP111

   |     |

   |     |---- VALUE1

   |

   |---- GROUP12

      |

      |---- VALUE2

      |---- VALUE3 - VALUE9

The HierarchyNodes table thus contains the following entries:

GROUPNAME HIERLEVEL VALCOUNT

GROUP1 0 0

GROUP11 1 0

GROUP111 2 1

GROUP12 1 2

Only the nodes GROUP111 and GROUP12 contain values or intervals, the HierarchyValues table therefore contains the following entries:

VALFROM VALTO

VALUE1 VALUE1

VALUE2 VALUE2

VALUE3 VALUE9

Notes

You require the read authorization for object K_CBPR_SET and K_ABC.

GetList

List of business process groups. All the business process groups are searched for that satisfy the selection criteria.

You can restrict the search for groups by transferring a mask for the group name in the optional parameter GroupNameMask
(masking indicators are +*).

The controlling area of the groups is entered in the ControllingAreaMask parameter (maskingindicators are also possible here).

If the optional parameter TopNodesOnly is set to 'X', a search
is only made for groups that are the top node in a hierarchy, i.e they are not used in other groups.

The list of groups found is transfered to the table GroupList.

If an error occurs during the search, the error message is issued in the Return parameter.

Example

All the business process groups from controlling area 1000 that begin with 'A' are to be displayed. Call the method:

DATA: LT_GROUPLIST LIKE BAPI1112_LIST OCCURS 0,

      L_RETURN     LIKE BAPIRET2.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUSPROCESSCOGRP_GETLIST'

     EXPORTING

          CONTROLLINGAREAMASK = '1000'

          GROUPNAMEMASK       = 'A*'

     IMPORTING

          RETURN              = L_RETURN

     TABLES

          GROUPLIST           = LT_GROUPLIST.
