Business process roles

A business process role is a collection of one or more company users in the Organization or in a business unit, project/department, tender or contract. A business process role can be assigned tasks and contract roles according to its members' functions and/or levels of authority.

In contracts, business process roles can be assigned to contract roles to give them access to specific areas of contract functionality. They can also be used to assign a group of users as reviewers for a communication or as the Responsible Party for a contract obligation.

In tenders, business process roles are used in the tender schedule to route stage gate decisions to the company users who are authorized to make stage gate decisions (as members of the Responsible Party).

Business process roles created in the Contract or Stage Gate Configuration must have members assigned before they can be published for use. However, to facilitate company best practice, business process roles at higher levels in the AVEVA Contract Risk Management hierarchy can also be published if empty, with members added as required at lower levels (and only applicable at those levels).

Note Business process role names must be unique, for use in workflows.

View business process roles

1. Navigate to the Best Practice Library for the Organization, business unit or project/dept, or the Contract or Stage Gate Configuration page.

2. Select the Business Process Roles tab.

   The Business Process Roles page is displayed.

The list of business process roles includes all those created in a higher-level Best Practice Library which you have permission to see. The Best Practice Library Level and Best Practice Library Name columns display where the business process role was created.

For example, at contract level, you can view the business process roles created in the project/dept and business unit to which the contract belongs, and also any business process roles created at Organization level.
