Problem
Why should I use Business Rules?
Incorrect or missing data in your SAP system inevitably leads to problems.
Business Rules help you detect incorrect data and trigger immediate actions automatically to correct the problems.
Solution
How do Business Rules help me with these problems?
Several factors are necessary for successful data monitoring: There must be a continuous search for deviations and errors. In case of problems, actions must be triggered directly, without any time delay. In addition, it is important that all data monitoring is flexible enough to be suitable for all data, processes and companies and can also be adapted quickly without code.

Getting started
Our approach to projects
We usually divide projects into three phases: In the first phase, we explain everything you need to know about business rules and implement the SAP transports together with your IT. In the second phase we go into details and run a set of standard business rules on your system. Finally, we prepare you to create your own business rules in order to become independent from Flexus and to be able to implement your own, new ideas with business rules.

More use cases
How does Flexus use Business Rules internally?
Over the last few years, we have built up a set of hundreds of different business rules in the SAP modules EWM, WM and MM, and many more. Whenever we start a new project, we use business rules in different ways to make the project implementation as fast and smooth as possible:
- Monitoring of the customizing settings in the hypercare phase
- Targeted monitoring of key master data required for production-critical processes
- Targeted monitoring of production-critical processes
- Intercepting implausible transaction data to fine-tune processes and customizing
For all these applications we have ready-made Business Rules that can be run directly on any ABAP system. Afterwards they can be adapted and used by the customers themselfs.
These examples are only intended to give you an idea of the types of Business Rules that are possible. Of course, all of them can be combined, configured and modified in any way.
- Check error logs and send a message to person 'Y' in case of error code 'X'
- Constantly monitor bookings. If field 'X' has either no value or a value greater than 'Y', post this booking to Slack for review
- Jede Änderung in einer Customizing Tabelle protokollieren und bei Bedarf per Email weiterleiten
- Log every change in a customizing table and forward by email if required
- If the sum of records that are in status 'X' is greater than 100, notify the person in charge, as this indicates a problem
- Regularly send an overview of truck waiting times at the gate to the control center at the end of the shift
- If a booking or truck registration is still in status 'X' at the end of the shift, notify the gate immediately
- Save the current state of the most important customizing settings every hour to better understand the settings in case of problems.
- Notify the project team when changes have been made to important settings
- List all implausible data records, for example with too high or missing values
- Show all outliers in a data set, e.g. work steps that took significantly longer than normal. Send them out via Mircosoft Teams
