I have been working to integrate all SAP-IS-Retail Scenarios on ARIS.  We have completed export of all scenarios from SOLMAN to ARIS and can even transport it back. I have a few doubts as given below:

  1. I have been making the EPCs manually based on the sequential steps, Is this right ? Or the EPCs are generated automatically?
  2. How can the function "Generate Model" be used to make an EPC? I have tried the regular procedure, but it does not include events it only lays down the functions one by one.
  3. Can we add an extra scenario in ARIS to the existing scenarios and transport it back to SOLMAN? OR we have to update the scenario in SOLMAN and export to ARIS first?
  4. What exactly is the significance of FUNCTION ALLOCATION DIAGRAMS?

 

Thanks and Regards

Hopefully while sync with solman you had mapped Scenario as VACD, Process as VACD, and Process Step as EPC. In this situation you will get EPC generated which has only function blocks. Once you finish sync with the solman you need to enrich your EPC models with process element information as in ARIS Process house, Org units, Application systems Documents etc... manually.

  1. How can the function "Generate Model" be used to make an EPC? I have tried the regular procedure, but it does not include events it only lays down the functions one by one.

Generate model can be used to combine models (to genrate end to end pic) or to convert models (from EPC to EPC Row display). Generate models will not create events.

  1. Can we add an extra scenario in ARIS to the existing scenarios and transport it back to SOLMAN? OR we have to update the scenario in SOLMAN and export to ARIS first?

yes you can add more scenarios by pulling in relevant SAP function symbol and then sync it back

  1. What exactly is the significance of FUNCTION ALLOCATION DIAGRAMS?

There are certain information you dont want to display on an EPC or There are lot of connected objects like Documents risks people systems to a single funtions block. This makes the EPC cluttered. FAD will help you to hide all this relevant information behind the function block by making an assignment of FAD on the function with heavy connections.

FAD should not be considered as level in the level structures. It is at the same level say level 4. It just caries more information.

All Allocation Diagram have similar functionality. In BPMN diagrams as well we can use allocation diagrams. BPMN models doesnt support Applications as a object but connect it as a Pool /lane. We can make use of allcoation diagrams in such cases.
