BPMN & Process Mining in ERP with Software AG - ARIS Cloud

Explore how ERP systems align end-to-end business flows, including legal entities, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and project-to-profit, through workflows and BPMN concepts.

Explore the business process life cycle from strategy and planning to design, implement, execute, monitor, and continuous improvement with ERP and process mining.

Explore business process flows and modeling and notation as standards for documenting enterprise resource planning steps, from orders, stock checks, and gateways, pools, and paths to invoicing and general ledger.

Navigate the order to cash cycle from customer profiling and credit checks to order booking, picking, bill of materials (bom) assembly, invoicing, and revenue recognition with accounts receivable and reconciliation.

Explore procure to pay process in ERP, from purchase requisitions and supplier quotes to purchase orders, goods receipt, invoice matching (two-, three-, four‑way), and payment flowing to the general ledger.

Explore variations in procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processes across industries and ownership types, and how ERP configurations and process mining reveal bottlenecks and optimization opportunities.

Explore BPMN, the standardized method for modeling business processes with activities, events, gateways, and sequence flows, and learn how pools, lanes, and connectors streamline ERP design.

This lecture provides a solution overview of a BPMN example, identifying common errors in pools, lanes, and gateways, and shows how standardization aids ERP configuration.

Explore software AG's ARIS Cloud for BPMN modeling in ERP. Sign up for a free basic plan and learn to create BPM models with pools, lanes, activities, and connectors.

Explore the BPMN standard and features in iris cloud, create pools and lanes, start events, tasks, gateways, and connectors, and align BPMN diagrams with ERP implementations like Oracle and SAP.

Import a BPMN diagram from the resources section into ARIS Cloud to view the procure-to-pay process, including requisition, PO, goods receipt, invoice, and payment.

Discover, monitor, and improve real business processes by extracting knowledge from event logs in ERP, CRM, or web apps to build process models and identify bottlenecks.

Explore the three types of process mining: discovery, conformance checking, and enhancement, using event log data to build models, diagnose deviations, and optimize processes.

Explore how process mining quantifies inefficiencies and uncovers bottlenecks to reduce costs, shorten lead times, and boost customer satisfaction and retention in ERP implementations with ARIS Cloud.

Identify event logs as the starting point for process mining; extract them from erp/oltp systems using plugins or an open API, validate data, and analyze delays to optimize processes.

Explore the ARIS Cloud process mining tool and its free basic edition. Learn how to register, activate, and log in using your email, name, and tenant ID.

Log in and verify administration privileges in ARIS Cloud; enable dataset creator if needed, log out/in, then create a project and allocate a dataset to progress in process mining.

Create a demo project in ARIS Cloud, attach a dataset from ERP or a CSV, and model the event log and related tables for analysis, compliance checks, and insights.

Upload the activity and enhancement CSV files to the ERP process mining dataset in ARIS Cloud, define the activity table, and load the data to complete the process.

Upload an enhancement csv to ARIS Cloud data model, define the relationship on process id, use filters such as country or risk category, then load and analyze for process mining.

Analyze uploaded ERP process data using BPMN and ARIS Cloud to generate process overview and explorer visuals, evaluate compliance, identify deviations, and plan corrective actions.

Explore the process explorer features for BPMN-based process mining, including field and country filters, activity and process filters, process variants, conformance rates, and detailed drill-downs with legends and frequency insights.

Use the app builder in edit mode to add charts and text for customized ERP process mining visuals, exploring dimensions versus measures and slice-and-dice analytics.

Learn how conformance checking in process mining compares the actual process with the BPM reference model to identify deviations and ensure compliant, auditable ERP workflows.

Configure the ARIS cloud data model integration by setting up system integration with the BPM and process mining, including the project room, and entering the client id and secret.

Learn how to import a BPMN from ARIS Cloud into the process mining tool, transfer the reference process, map tasks, and perform conformance and compliance analysis.

Learn conformance analysis in ERP process mining by automatic mapping BPM data to a reference model, recalculating compliance, and identifying non-conforming cases for continuous improvement.

Define and activate custom rules in the rules check, recalculate compliance, and analyze conformance rates and rule-based insights from process mining for ERP workflows.

Create calculated fields in the analysis model to enrich ARIS Cloud reports, using visual or code editors with if-then logic and recalculation for use in reports and the app builder.
