An Event Data Extraction Approach from SAP ERP for Process Mining

Alessandro Berti, Gyunam Park, Majid Rafiei, Wil van der Aalst

英文摘要：

The extraction, transformation, and loading of event logs from information systems is the first and the most expensive step in process mining. In particular, extracting event logs from popular ERP systems such as SAP poses major challenges, given the size and the structure of the data. Open-source support for ETL is scarce, while commercial process mining vendors maintain connectors to ERP systems supporting ETL of a limited number of business processes in an ad-hoc manner. In this paper, we propose an approach to facilitate event data extraction from SAP ERP systems. In the proposed approach, we store event data in the format of object-centric event logs that efficiently describe executions of business processes supported by ERP systems. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach, we have developed a tool implementing it and conducted case studies with a real-life SAP ERP system.

Interactive Process Identification and Selection from SAP ERP

SAP ERP is one of the most popular information systems supporting various organizational processes, e.g., O2C and P2P. However, the amount of processes and data contained in SAP ERP is enormous. Thus, the identification of the processes that are contained in a specific SAP instance, and the creation of a list of related tables is a significant challenge. Eventually, one needs to extract an event log for process mining purposes from SAP ERP. This demo paper shows the tool Interactive SAP Explorer that tackles the process identification and selection problem by encoding the relational structure …

Analysis & Prediction of Sales Data in SAP-ERP System using Clustering Algorithms

Clustering is an important data mining technique where we will be interested in maximizing intracluster distance and also minimizing intercluster distance. We have utilized clustering techniques for detecting deviation in product sales and also to identify and compare sales over a particular period of time. Clustering is suited to group items that seem to fall naturally together, when there is no specified class for any new item. We have utilizedannual sales data of a steel major to analyze Sales Volume & Value with respect to dependent attributes like products, customers and quantities sold. …

Implementation of CRISP Methodology for ERP Systems

ERP systems contain huge amounts of data related to the actual execution of business processes. These systems have a particular way of recording activities which results in an unclear display of business processes in event logs. Several works have been conducted on ERP systems, most of them focusing on the development of new algorithms for the automatic discovery of business processes. We focused on addressing issues like, how can organizations with ERP systems apply process mining for analyzing their business processes in order to improve them. The data handling aspect of ERP systems contrast…

An Efficient Method for Mining Event-Related Potential Patterns

In the present paper, we propose a Neuroelectromagnetic Ontology Framework (NOF) for mining Event-related Potentials (ERP) patterns as well as the process. The aim for this research is to develop an infrastructure for mining, analysis and sharing the ERP domain ontologies. The outcome of this research is a Neuroelectromagnetic knowledge-based system. The framework has 5 stages: 1) Data pre-processing and preparation; 2) Data mining application; 3) Rule Comparison and Evaluation; 4) Association rules Post-processing 5) Domain Ontologies. In 5th stage a new set of hidden rules can be discovered …

OC-PM: Analyzing Object-Centric Event Logs and Process Models

Object-centric process mining is a novel branch of process mining that aims to analyze event data from mainstream information systems (such as SAP) more naturally, without being forced to form mutually exclusive groups of events with the specification of a case notion. The development of object-centric process mining is related to exploiting object-centric event logs, which includes exploring and filtering the behavior contained in the logs and constructing process models which can encode the behavior of different classes of objects and their interactions (which can be discovered from object-c…

Event-Case Correlation for Process Mining using Probabilistic Optimization

Process mining supports the analysis of the actual behavior and performance of business processes using event logs. % such as, e.g., sales transactions recorded by an ERP system. An essential requirement is that every event in the log must be associated with a unique case identifier (e.g., the order ID of an order-to-cash process). In reality, however, this case identifier may not always be present, especially when logs are acquired from different systems or extracted from non-process-aware information systems. In such settings, the event log needs to be pre-processed by grouping events into c…

Defining Cases and Variants for Object-Centric Event Data

RWTH Aachen University（亚琛工业大学）

The execution of processes leaves traces of event data in information systems. These event data can be analyzed through process mining techniques. For traditional process mining techniques, one has to associate each event with exactly one object, e.g., the company's customer. Events related to one object form an event sequence called a case. A case describes an end-to-end run through a process. The cases contained in event data can be used to discover a process model, detect frequent bottlenecks, or learn predictive models. However, events encountered in real-life information systems, e.g., ER…
