Business processes and user work
In the “BAS Document Management of CORP” program, the collective work with documents is realized with the help of the following business processes:
- Consideration: the document falls on consideration to the head and with its resolution returns to the author of the document. At the same time, directly in the process of consideration, an official may issue a text resolution or send a document for execution or familiarization.
- Execution: the document is submitted for execution to all users on the list and to the controller for observance of the performance discipline. One of the users can be appointed as a responsible performer.
- Approval: the documents attached to such a business process are subject to approval by the specified respondents and then return to the author of this business process for reviewing the results of the reconciliation or sending them for re-negotiation. In the “BAS Documentoobog KORP” supported options for coordination, such as:
- parallel;
- consistent;
- mixed (parallel and sequential), including taking into account the routing conditions.
- Approval: the document is submitted for approval to the responsible person and returns to the author of the document to get acquainted with the result of the statement.
- Registration: the document gets to the secretary for assigning a registration number, putting the seal of the organization and sending it to the correspondent.
- Acquaintance: with the help of this business process the necessary document is sent to all users on the list for acquaintance.
- Order: with the help of this business process, you can issue orders to employees and check their execution.
- Processing of the incoming document: this business process automates the entire cycle of processing the incoming document – review, execution, writing-off.
- Outbound document processing: this business process automates the full cycle of creating an outgoing document – agreement, approval, registration.
It is possible to assign tasks not only to specific performers, but also roles. For example, a document can be submitted for approval of the role of “Director”, and the program will automatically deliver the corresponding task to the person who currently performs this role – the director himself or his deputy.
To ensure strict routing, it is possible to configure business process route templates for each document type, taking into account conditional routing. So, for example, to agree contracts that amount to more than 20 thousand hryvnia, one template will be used, and to harmonize all other contracts – another. Routing conditions can be configured in design mode or in the built-in language.
The deadlines for executing business processes are monitored taking into account the work schedules of employees and can be calculated not only in days, but also in hours and even minutes.
The automatic start of business processes on a schedule is realized.
A hierarchy of subordination of business processes and their tasks is supported. When creating a business process, you can specify that it is subordinate to the task of another business process. Thus, a hierarchy of business processes and tasks is built, which all participants of these business processes can see with regard to access rights.
It is possible to temporarily stop business processes, which extends to all subordinate business processes and their tasks.
Integration of business processes with other information bases
The main purpose of this integration mechanism is to automate such data processing processes that cross the boundaries of various information bases; make crossing these boundaries imperceptible to users. An example of a business process that crosses the boundaries of configurations: the process of processing a customer’s order begins in the information base “Trade Management” edition 3, continues in the “BAS Document Management of CORP” and ends again in “Trade Management”.
