Understanding the Process Definition Application

You can create process definitions that the Enterprise Process Modeler can use to generate process flow diagrams for processes that do not use the order activity rules. The Work with Process Definition application (P00201) enables you to define process flows using values from the User-Defined Codes (UDC) tables.

The usage of the Work with Process Definition application is limited to creating process flows in the Enterprise Process Modeler tool and does not allow you to perform transactions or ledger entry activities.

You can create and modify process definitions using the Process Definition Revision form.

The system uses the Work with Process Definition application (P00201) to write the process flow header and detail record values to these tables:

Process Definition Header (F00201)
Process Definition Detail (F00202)

When you delete a process definition header record, the system also deletes the associated detail records from the F00201 and F00202 tables.

You can copy existing process definitions to create new process definition records, thereby minimizing redundant data entry. When you copy a process definition record, the system generates an incremented new and unique Process Definition ID and copies the values from the original record enabling you to revise the values on the new record.

Note: It is recommended to use a unique description for each process definition.
