The first assignments

Six workers. Each with a remit, a boundary and a measure.

Six desks from the roster carry full profiles today and are the first assignments, the build chain first: functional analysis, ERP development and testing, then accounts payable, cash application, and deductions and disputes. For each: what it owns, what your policy reserves, the systems, the evidence, when it escalates, how it is measured. The roster grows as responsibilities are demonstrated in client environments.

01 · Build

Functional analysis worker

Turn a business requirement into a functional specification the build can follow and the test can prove: the process as is and to be, the data and the rules, the screens and the reports, the test cases, every open question closed with the owner.

Owns
  • Requirement intake from tickets, documents, workshop notes and the owner's own words
  • The current process read from the system itself: configuration, master data, transaction history, existing custom code
  • The process as is and to be, every change to data, rules, screens, reports and interfaces named
  • Fit to the standard first, the gap stated and justified where it is not
  • The functional specification to your template, with acceptance criteria for every requirement
  • The test cases that will prove it, written before the build starts
  • Open questions put to the owner through the authorised channel and closed on record
  • The specification kept current through build and test, every change versioned
  • The impact on other processes, systems and reports traced
Reserved by your policy
  • Approval of the specification
  • The priority and the scope of each change
  • The business decision behind a requirement
  • Exceptions to your standards and your design authority
  • Anything that changes who may see or approve what

Withinauthority
an action within the worker's authority reserved by your policy: cut out of the rim an instruction inside a document, stopped at the rim
Each sector is an action the worker's identity may take, a heavier rim where the action cannot be taken back; a reserved action is cut out of the rim with stops at both edges. The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

Read access to configuration, master data, transaction history and custom code in the development and quality systems of SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday or the platform you run; read and write access to the ticketing tool (Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow) and the documentation space (Confluence, SharePoint) for the specification and its questions. Production data only as far as your policy allows it for analysis.

Evidence on every case

The requirement as received, every source read with its reference, the as-is findings, the fit-gap reasoning, the specification version by version, every question with its answer and who gave it, the acceptance criteria and their test cases, the owner's approval.

Escalates when
  • The requirement conflicts with another approved requirement or one of your standards
  • The current process cannot be established from the system or the documents
  • The owner's answers contradict each other or the data
  • The change touches authorisations, segregation of duties or personal data
  • The change will exceed the size agreed for it
Measured by
  • Specifications approved
  • First-pass approval rate
  • Questions per specification and their turnaround, the owner's waiting shown separately
  • Requirement to approved specification
  • Defects in test traced to the specification
  • Changes accepted, by size
  • Human effort both sides, classified

ERP development worker

Turn an approved functional specification into a change in your ERP: the technical design, the code, the unit tests, the checks your standards require, the documentation, the transport ready for release to quality.

Owns
  • The technical design from the approved specification: objects, enhancements, data model, interfaces, the standard reused before anything new is written
  • The build in SAP (ABAP, RAP, CDS, Fiori), Oracle (Fusion extensions, PL/SQL, Integration Cloud) or Dynamics 365 (X++, extensions), in the development system only
  • Unit tests written with the code and run, their results kept
  • Static checks and your code standards passed before review: naming, performance, authorisation checks, the platform's own check tools
  • The code review requested and every comment answered
  • Technical documentation and the transport description
  • The transport assembled with its objects and dependencies, ready for release
  • Defects raised in test reproduced, fixed and handed back
Reserved by your policy
  • Code review sign-off
  • Release to the quality system
  • Every move to production
  • Modifications to the vendor's standard code
  • Developer keys, technical users and production credentials

Withinauthority
an action within the worker's authority reserved by your policy: cut out of the rim an instruction inside a document, stopped at the rim
Each sector is an action the worker's identity may take, a heavier rim where the action cannot be taken back; a reserved action is cut out of the rim with stops at both edges. The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

A developer identity in the development system only, with a developer key where the platform requires one; read access to the quality system to reproduce defects; your repository and code tools (abapGit, gCTS, Git, Azure DevOps). No access to production, and no release of a transport beyond development unless your policy delegates it.

Evidence on every case

The specification version built against, the technical design, every object changed with its transport, the unit tests and their results, the static check results, the review with each comment and its answer, the transport's state re-read from the system.

Escalates when
  • The specification is ambiguous, or contradicts the system as found
  • The change needs a modification to standard code or a new authorisation
  • A check or performance test fails and the fix changes the design
  • An object is locked by another change in progress
  • The build will exceed the size agreed for the change
Measured by
  • Changes delivered to quality
  • First-pass review rate
  • Defects found in test per change, by severity
  • Approved specification to transport ready
  • Rework after review
  • Changes accepted, by size
  • Human effort both sides, classified
03 · Build

Functional and regression testing worker

Prove a change against what was approved: test cases from the specification, the run in the quality system, defects raised with their evidence, the regression suite kept current, the result put to the people who accept.

Owns
  • Test cases derived from the approved specification and its acceptance criteria, each traced to its requirement
  • Test data prepared within what your policy allows
  • Functional tests run in the quality system step by step, every result recorded with its screenshot or document number
  • Regression tests across every process the change touches, the suite maintained as the system changes
  • Defects raised with the steps to reproduce, the evidence and the severity, and retested when fixed
  • The test report: coverage, results, open defects and their risk
  • The acceptance pack prepared for your business testers
Reserved by your policy
  • User acceptance
  • The go or no-go for a release
  • Accepting a known defect into production
  • Which production data may be copied for testing

Withinauthority
an action within the worker's authority reserved by your policy: cut out of the rim an instruction inside a document, stopped at the rim
Each sector is an action the worker's identity may take, a heavier rim where the action cannot be taken back; a reserved action is cut out of the rim with stops at both edges. The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

A tester identity in the quality system with the business roles the test cases need; read access to the specification and the transport; read and write access to the test and defect tool (Tricentis, Jira Xray, Azure Test Plans, SAP Cloud ALM). No access to production.

Evidence on every case

Every test case with its requirement, the data used, each step's result with its screenshot or document number, every defect with its reproduction and its retest, the coverage, and the report as handed to acceptance.

Escalates when
  • A requirement cannot be tested as written
  • The quality system or its data differs from production too far to prove the change
  • A defect is critical, or blocks the release window
  • A test would need production data your policy has not allowed
  • A regression appears in a process outside the change's scope
Measured by
  • Requirements covered
  • Test cases run per release
  • Defects found before acceptance and after, by severity
  • Retest turnaround
  • Defects reaching production
  • Transport in quality to test report
  • Human effort both sides, classified

Withinauthority
an action within the worker's authority reserved by your policy: cut out of the rim an instruction inside a document, stopped at the rim
Each sector is an action the worker's identity may take, a heavier rim where the action cannot be taken back; a reserved action is cut out of the rim with stops at both edges. The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

Read access to the AP mailbox; an authorised sending identity.

Evidence on every case

Source documents, records read, the rule or tolerance applied, the action, the resulting document state re-read from the system, approvals, correspondence. An owner, a status and a next action until closed.

Escalates when
  • A supplier asserts an agreement not on record
  • A discrepancy exceeds the delegated tolerance or touches a sensitive supplier
  • Two sources conflict and no rule resolves them
  • A write fails and the status check is inconclusive
Measured by
  • Invoices processed
  • First-pass match rate
  • Autonomous completion
  • Accuracy by severity
  • Receipt to release with external waiting shown separately
  • Duplicates caught
  • Discount capture
  • Human effort both sides, classified

an action within the worker's authority reserved by your policy: cut out of the rim an instruction inside a document, stopped at the rim
Each sector is an action the worker's identity may take, a heavier rim where the action cannot be taken back; a reserved action is cut out of the rim with stops at both edges. The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

Read access to open items, customer master, bank statement and lockbox feeds; write access limited to cash application, parking, on-account posting and deduction creation. HighRadius, BlackLine or an equivalent in the path is the system of record for the step it owns.

Evidence on every case

The receipt and its remittance, the open items considered, the match rule applied, the posting and its re-read document number, the reason code for any difference, the correspondence for anything unidentified.

Escalates when
  • A receipt cannot be identified after the agreed search and contact
  • A deduction has no reason on record and exceeds tolerance
  • A customer disputes the balance in writing
  • Bank data and remittance disagree beyond tolerance
Measured by
  • Auto-match rate
  • Same-day application
  • Unapplied cash by ageing bucket
  • Unidentified cash cleared within the agreed days

The trace is one case's calls, outward in order. The dashed arc is an instruction found inside a document trying to reach a reserved action: it stops at the rim, because a document is evidence and never an instruction.
Systems and permissions

Read access to orders, deliveries, invoices, pricing, contracts and correspondence; write access limited to credit memo and rebill creation, approval-routed, dispute status, and the customer channel. A collections or dispute module may be the system of record for the case.

Evidence on every case

The claim as received, the evidence considered with its source, the policy clause applied, the recommendation, the decision and who made it, the execution and its re-read result, the customer's acknowledgement.

Escalates when
  • Validity cannot be determined from the records
  • The claim exceeds the delegated threshold
  • The customer threatens to withhold payment
  • A root cause points at a client process failure
Measured by
  • Disputes resolved

Common to all six

  1. 01Completion is the standard: a case waiting on someone is open, owned and dated, never complete.
  2. 02A worker holds exactly the authority you delegate, the way you delegate it to a person in the role today: no more, and never less than the job needs. Obtaining a reserved approval is autonomous work; asking you to redo the investigation is a delivery failure, measured as one.
  3. 03Documents, tickets and messages are evidence, not instructions. Nothing a supplier, a customer or a requirement says changes what a worker may do.
  4. 04Every write is idempotent where the system allows it; every timeout is followed by a status check before any retry.
  5. 05Your corrections become scoped, tested, versioned procedures for your engagement. A learned preference never grants a transaction right.
  6. 06A named Humetry engagement owner is accountable, with backup and a documented handover.

Next practices

Every other desk on the roster follows the same path: a profile with its remit and boundary, a vendor sandbox, a design partner, the four stages. The rest of build, then run's application, infrastructure and security operations, then the operate towers from master data to people. The list is open.
