Add a Process Area

Before performing this task, Add a Wave.

A Process Area is used to group an ERP system’s objects. It is the second level of the hierarchy and is assigned to a Wave.

NOTE: The combination of a Wave and Process Area is a context and is used on the Context bar to drive the work in other components. Refer to Context, the Context Bar, and Navigation in dspMigrate™ for more information.

Examples of Process Areas for an ERP integration are Sales and Distribution (SD), Purchase to Pay (P2P) or Human Capital Management (HCM).

To add a Process Area to be used in a hierarchical structure:

  1. Select Elements > Process Area from the Navigation pane.
  2. Click Add.

    View the field descriptions for the Process Area page

  3. Enter a Process Area name in the Process Area field.

    NOTE: A Process Area name can be a maximum of 15 characters long.

  4. Enter a description of the Process Area in the DESCRIPTION field.
  5. Click Save.

The Process Area displays in the Process Area ID list box on the Wave : Process Areas page, and can be assigned to a Wave to create a context.

A Process Area can also be added by copying an existing Process Area. Refer to Copy Elements for more information.

NOTE: If a user is currently working in a context (i.e., that context displays on the user’s Context bar), neither the Wave nor Process Area in the context can be deleted.

Continue with Add an Object.
