You can upload process models and process diagram variants as BPMN diagrams to SAP Solution Manager. ARIS models are automatically converted to BPMN diagrams of the selected type. Models of the EPC and the Value-added chain diagram types are always converted. Models of all other are converted only if modeling rules are violated. If a model cannot be converted, the model is not transferred. The or and the or options you have selected for the model transfer are related to the rules applied.
You can transfer models of only these types:
EPC
EPC (column display)
EPC (row display)
Value-added chain diagram (VAD)
BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0)
BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0)
Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram
Enterprise BPMN process diagram
Uses the system landscape as target SAP diagram subtype that is represented in the ARIS model as logical component.
For each logical component group assigned to an SAP function, a corresponding lane is created and placed in the pool. This pool has the name of the process. Functions to which a logical component group is assigned are placed in the corresponding lane. Functions without logical components are placed in the N/A lane. Other elements without a logical component, such as gateways, are placed in the lane of one of the neighbor's logical components.
Uses the role as target SAP diagram subtype and transfers the converted BPMN diagram to the SAP system.
The lanes are built from the row/columns of the EPC process model (Type: EPC (column display) or EPC (row display)).
Diagram type that is used in the SAP system for all uploaded ARIS models.
All ARIS models that are relevant for SAP synchronization are initially transferred as BPMN Process diagrams to the SAP system.
The target diagram type that you selected for the first model transfer defines the diagram type used in the SAP system. After the initial model transfer the target diagram type cannot be changed. If you change the target diagram type for another model transfer, this setting is ignored.

If a model contains process steps that are related to more than one process, the modeling rule is violated.
If you selected the Role or System landscape and the Process diagram options, the model cannot be converted and is not transferred to the SAP system.
If you selected the Role or System landscape and the Collaboration diagram options, the model is transferred as a converted diagram.
BPMN models
The following applies to models of the types BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0), BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0), Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram, and Enterprise BPMN process diagram.
If you selected the Role and the Process diagram options, the modeling rule is violated if the model contains process steps that are related to more than one process. In this case, the model cannot be converted and is not transferred to the SAP system.
, the models are transferred as converted diagrams.
The model does not contain exactly one pool.
The model contains nested lanes.
The model contains lanes that are outside a pool.
The model contains no lane.
The model contains elements that are placed outside of lanes (except annotations).
The model contains a pool whose orientation (vertical or horizontal) does not match that in the target diagram.
If you selected the Role and the Collaboration diagram options and the occur, the models are transferred as converted diagrams.
The model contains no pool.
The model contains pools without lanes.
The model contains a pool that contains process steps which belong to different processes.
The model contains nested lanes.
The model contains lanes that are outside a pool.
The model contains a pool whose orientation (vertical or horizontal) does not match that in the target diagram.
The model contains elements that are placed outside of lanes (except annotations).
