Business Process Monitoring aims to provide transparency about the end-to-end process health based on predefined key performance indicators (KPIs). It enables both line-of-business users and IT users to directly identify business process disruptions across the entire system landscape, and to react to anomalies before critical situations arise. The objective of this app is to ensure smooth business operations without disruptions, and to increase the quality and performance of the business process execution.

In addition you can add custom KPIs in the context of SAP BTP applications and ABAP components. 

For further details on Business Process Monitoring, please check also the overview presentation.

The following end-to-end processes are supported:

  • Recruit to Retire
  • Lead to Cash
  • Source to Pay
  • Design to Operate
  • Custom KPIs

In addition to the predefined standard processes provided by Business Process Monitoring, you can create custom processes(opens in new tab) and process structures to more accurately reflect your organization.

  • Receive automatic alerts and provide automated corrective actions
  • Enrich operational business process information with application monitoring information
  • Predict business process anomalies before business is impacted
