Review the business processes of the relevant solution with your customer. To what extent do the business processes fit the customer requirements. Mark the business processes that don't fit the customer needs as a gap. This usually results in questions to be answered and requirements to solve the gaps. You can use fit categories and gap categories to indicate the sort of fit or gap.

One of these scenarios is applicable:

  • No gap categories defined
    Business processes can have these gap/fit indicators:
    • Not specified - No process verification is done for the business process.
    • Gap - Either the business process itself is set to Gap or one of its child business processes is set to Gap or to Fit.
    • Fit - The business process is set to Fit.
  • Fit/gap categories defined
    Business processes can have these fit/gap indicators:
    • Not specified - No process verification is done for the business process.
    • [Gap category] - The business process is verified as a gap with a specific gap category.
    • Gap - No process verification is done for the business process itself. One of its child business processes is set to Gap or to Fit.
      Note: Such a business process can have its own flow in which, for example, a gap can occur. In this case, you must manually reset the business process to the applicable gap category! If you do so, make sure to choose No in the Apply to child processes dialog.  
    • Fit - The business process is set to Fit.
