Define manual steps and assign business roles

Business roles can be assigned to a human task (function). Numerous object types are available for this.

You can assign external persons. They do not impact the transformation into a BPMN diagram.

Define manual steps and assign business roles

A human task is performed without any process automation or software applications.

Therefore, a function with an assigned organizational unit is treated like a human task during the transformation to BPMN.

The organizational unit assigned to the function in the EPC is also assigned to the function when the BPMN diagram is generated in a function allocation diagram assigned to the task. If no satellite is modeled, an abstract task is generated.

There are different organizational elements that must all be linked to a process function via a connection of the carries out type. In addition, each organizational element can be represented with different, but exchangeable symbols.
