SoD — Process
The Process screen is the catalog of business processes used by every other SoD setting. One line per (Application, Process). Each row carries a numeric identifier and a friendly name — for example P2P (Procure to Pay), O2C (Order to Cash), R2R (Record to Report).
It is the top of the SoD hierarchy: Activities attach to a process, Risks are defined inside a process, the Matrix groups risk-bearing activity pairs by process.
At a glance
Goal of the view
- Declare the processes that will host the SoD activities and risks.
- Use stable identifiers — Process ID is referenced by the Activities, Risks, Matrix and Objects tables. Renumbering breaks references.
- One process per major business area — keep the catalog short so it stays readable. Most companies live with five to eight.
Columns
| Column | Source | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Application ID | PROCESS_APPS_ID — application. | Application the catalog applies to. |
| Process ID | PROCESS_ID — short identifier. | Reference used by every dependent SoD setting. |
| Process Name | PROCESS_NAME — friendly label. | Human-readable name. |
Audit columns (PROCESS_AUDIT_USER, PROCESS_AUDIT_DATE) are kept on the row.
Edit dialog
Click Add to declare a new process, or double-click a row to edit. The dialog is a single form.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Application | Drop-down of declared applications. The process belongs to this application. |
| Process ID | Short identifier (e.g. P2P, O2C, R2R). Referenced by Activities, Risks, Matrix and Objects. |
| Name | Friendly label for the process. Surfaces on every SoD report. |
Tips & best practices
- Per-application catalog. If two applications carry the same SoD perimeter, declare the process in each — Nomasx-1 does not share rows across applications.
- Match the auditor's vocabulary. Use the labels (
P2P,O2C,R2R,HR,IT) the audit team already uses in their walkthroughs. - Keep the list stable across audit cycles — comparing the SoD figures quarter over quarter only works if the process IDs don't change.
