Explore ERP basics, order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, and variations, then dive into process mining with Celonis EMS, including conformance checking, BPMN vs DFT, and a data pool from Oracle e-business data.
Map business models to ERP processes by linking legal entities, procure-to-pay, inventory, and order-to-cash. Explore CRM, forecasting, and module flow that support concept to release and project to profit.
Explore how ERP systems use business process flows to visually document end-to-end procedures across modules, from quotation to payment through procure to pay and order to cash.
Explore the procure-to-pay process from requisition and supplier quotes to purchase orders, goods receipt, invoice matching, and payment, with three-way and four-way matching and general ledger entries.
Explore the order to cash cycle from customer profiling and credit checks to live order, assembly, auto invoicing, and accounts receivable, highlighting revenue recognition and payment terms.
Explore how variations in business flows across industries and ownership affect procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processes, and learn to configure ERP to detect bottlenecks using process mining with Celonis EMS.
Examine ERP audit types, from process and compliance audits with process mining, to system and security checks, ensuring efficiency, control, and regulatory alignment.
Discover how process mining leverages ERP and CRM audit logs to discover, monitor, and improve end-to-end processes by extracting knowledge from event logs and building process models.
Explore the three types of process mining—discovery, conformance checking, and enhancement—using event log data to model, compare with established processes, and drive bottleneck improvements.
Process mining quantifies inefficiencies and bottlenecks, enabling objective resource allocation, cost reduction, and faster process improvements, which boost quality and customer retention.
Explore how an event log, containing a case identifier, activity, and timestamp, drives process mining, with focus on data quality and plugin-based enterprise resource planning (erp) data extraction.
Explore process discovery outcomes from event logs using data flow graphs, direct flow graphs, Petri nets, and business process model and notation, with examples from procure-to-pay and order-to-cash.
Post implementation of any IT applications like ERP systems, there have long been a few fundamental challenges associated with business process management.
The most troublesome problems happens over period of time with growth of transaction volume: Those are,
Process Bottleneck due to various reasons.
Non-conformance of process.
Major problem involves the creation of “current state” processes — a description of how a business process is being performed today.
In business process reengineering, organizations are primarily interested in an improved “to be” process, so often they have little interest in exploring “as is,” or how the process is currently performed. It also become complex and complicated as time progress with not many tools earlier to study "as is" process. But understanding the current process is critical to knowing whether it is worth investing in improvements, where performance problems exist, and how much variation there is in the process across the organization.
As a result, some companies tend to either skip current process analysis altogether, adopt shortcuts to it, or pay consultants a lot of money to analyze the “as is” process.
In addition, their current process analysis is frequently based on interviews and sticky notes, which executives sometimes regard as overly subjective and treat with justifiable skepticism. The other general problem with process management is the lack of connections between business processes and an organization’s enterprise ERP information systems
Some enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, for example) has become process-oriented in the sense that they support processes like order-to-cash or procure-to-pay, but there is rarely an easy way to understand how the different process along with its variants are being executed in the ERP-information system. This make identification of issues to be complex as well
Enter... Process mining and it can address all of these issues.
Its a relatively new and innovative technology has the capability to solve both of the problems and to revitalize process management in firms where it has lain fallow for years. Hence, this course provides you with complete details on Process Mining approch.
