Welcome

Welcome to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Enterprise Process Manager Guide.

Enterprise Process Manager is a design tool that you use to create process models, metrics, and analytics for specific business processes. Process owners then use Enterprise Process Modeler to interact with those models, metrics, and analytics to monitor and analyze the business processes, and ideally improve them. In this way, the design-time experience of Enterprise Process Manager and the run-time experience of Enterprise Process Modeler go hand-in-hand to provide process models, metrics, and analytics—visualizations of how your processes are actually running—based on live data from your EnterpriseOne system.

The main chapters in this guide contain instructions on how to:

  • Define a process model based on the nodes (for example, statuses or steps) and the links (relationships) between the nodes.
  • Define metrics that are specific to the context of a node or a link, for example, how many sales orders are at status 520, or how many sales orders are moving from status 520 to status 540.
  • Create analytics—data visualizations, such as pie charts and line graphs—that are contextually related to nodes, links, or the process as a whole.
  • Define data filters, such as date range, company, or business unit, to refine the analysis of processes.
  • Create process models that branch into subprocesses.

When you have finished designing a process model, the EnterpriseOne system saves it as a user-defined object (UDO), which you can then publish and share with business process owners. The business process owners will then use Enterprise Process Modeler to open, explore, and analyze the process model along with its metrics and analytics.

This guide has been updated for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2.26.2.

Audience

This guide is intended for process model designers, who are typically business analysts or project managers responsible for some business domain, such as procurement, order management, manufacturing, and so on. It is assumed that, you are familiar with how the business process functions at your organization, as well as the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications and business data that support the business process. As a process model designer, you use Enterprise Process Manager to create process models, metrics, and analytics. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system stores a process model as a user-defined object, which you then publish and share for your business process owners to interact with using Enterprise Process Modeler.
