Creating a Business Process Category

This topic describes the procedure to create a business process category to group new or existing business processes for a business context model.

A business context model (BCM) is made up of BCM components that include:

• Business Partners,
• Business Partner Categories, and
• Business Process Categories

A business process category (also called business functions) contains all the business processes that belong to a functional group. Examples of business process categories include all production related processes, all sales related processes, all finance related processes and so on.
