It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain this application and are not configured to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples of this application.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0053] Existing business process diagrams are insufficient to meet the ever-changing usage requirements of business systems. To address these issues, this application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for constructing business process diagrams. This application obtains approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, and constructs business process diagrams corresponding to approvals at the same level and across different levels by connecting business process modeling symbols with directed edges based on this information. The business process modeling symbols include various approval nodes. After constructing the business process diagram, a business process creation request can be received and responded to. The business process creation request includes the hierarchical information of the business process initiator and the business scenario information. The target business process is automatically determined from the business process diagram based on the hierarchical and business scenario information. Since the business process diagram generated in this embodiment covers the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, it also includes business processes corresponding to approvals at the same level and across levels. When facing the ever-changing process construction needs of a business system, it is only necessary to determine the corresponding business process from the business process diagram generated in this embodiment based on the business process creation request. There is no need to regenerate the business process diagram when generating new business processes. The business process diagram generated in this embodiment can meet the ever-changing process construction needs of a business system. The following section first introduces the method for constructing the business process diagram provided in this embodiment.

[0054] Figure 1 This illustration shows a flowchart of a method for constructing a business process diagram according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0055] S110, obtain the approval flow information corresponding to each institutional level.

[0056] S120: Based on the approval flow information, business process modeling symbols are connected by directed edges to construct business process diagrams corresponding to approvals at the same level and approvals across levels.

[0057] The business process modeling symbols include various approval nodes.

[0058] This application embodiment obtains the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, and constructs business process diagrams corresponding to peer-to-peer and cross-level approvals by connecting business process modeling symbols through directed edges based on the approval flow information. The business process modeling symbols include various approval nodes. After constructing the business process diagram, it can receive and respond to business process establishment requests. The business process establishment request includes the hierarchical information of the business process initiator and business scenario information. The target business process is automatically determined from the business process diagram based on the hierarchical information and business scenario information. Since the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment covers the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, it also includes the business processes corresponding to peer-to-peer and cross-level approvals. When facing the ever-changing process construction needs of the business system, it is only necessary to determine the corresponding business process from the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment based on the business process establishment request. It is not necessary to regenerate the business process diagram when generating a new business process. The business process diagram generated by this application embodiment can meet the ever-changing process construction needs of the business system.

[0059] In one embodiment, the multiple approval nodes include a starting node, a first gateway node, user nodes at different organizational levels, a second gateway node, and an ending node; S120 may include:

[0060] Based on the approval flow information, a business process diagram is obtained by connecting the starting node, the first gateway node, user nodes at different organizational levels, the second gateway node, and the ending node through directed edges.

[0061] The approval flow information can be defined in the gateway to determine which approval nodes are included in the business process and the approval relationship between each approval node. The approval flow information can represent how the starting node, the first gateway node, user nodes at different organizational levels, the second gateway node, and the ending node should be connected.

[0062] In one embodiment, a business process diagram is obtained by connecting the starting node, the first gateway node, user nodes at different organizational levels, the second gateway node, and the ending node through directed edges based on the approval flow information. This diagram may include:

[0063] Based on the approval flow information, perform the following steps:

[0064] Starting with the starting node as the origin of a directed edge, the starting node and the first gateway node are connected by directed edges; starting with the first gateway node as the origin of a directed edge, the same first gateway node and user nodes at different organizational levels are connected by directed edges; starting with a user node as the origin of a directed edge, user nodes at different organizational levels and different second gateway nodes are connected by directed edges; starting with the second gateway node as the origin of a directed edge, the second gateway node and the ending node, the target user node corresponding to the second gateway node and the second gateway node, and the second gateway node and cross-level nodes are connected by directed edges, where cross-level nodes are user nodes adjacent to the organizational level of the target user node, thus obtaining the business process diagram.

[0065] Taking a three-level organizational structure as an example (including Lv1, Lv2, and Lv3), the business process diagram constructed through the above steps can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Each user node at each level has a unique exit point, flowing to a second gateway node. Taking the Lv1 user node as an example, its exit point is the unique second gateway node, hereinafter referred to as the Lv1 second gateway node. One of the multiple exit points of the Lv1 second gateway node still points to the Lv1 user node. This design is used to realize the flow between organizations at the same level. One exit point of the Lv1 second gateway node points to the Lv2 user node, used to realize the flow across organizations. The Lv2 and Lv3 gateway nodes are similar, and will not be elaborated here. The Lv1 second gateway node has no exit point pointing to the Lv3 user node, because in the design of multi-level approval, tasks are not allowed to flow across multiple levels by default. One exit point of the Lv1 second gateway node points to the end node, used to end the process. This design is used to realize that the process can be terminated at any level.

[0066] This application embodiment obtains the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, and constructs business process diagrams corresponding to peer-to-peer and cross-level approvals by connecting business process modeling symbols through directed edges based on the approval flow information. The business process modeling symbols include various approval nodes. After constructing the business process diagram, it can receive and respond to business process establishment requests. The business process establishment request includes the hierarchical information of the business process initiator and business scenario information. The target business process is automatically determined from the business process diagram based on the hierarchical information and business scenario information. Since the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment covers the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, it also includes the business processes corresponding to peer-to-peer and cross-level approvals. When facing the ever-changing process construction needs of the business system, it is only necessary to determine the corresponding business process from the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment based on the business process establishment request. It is not necessary to regenerate the business process diagram when generating a new business process. The business process diagram generated by this application embodiment can meet the ever-changing process construction needs of the business system.

Figure 1-2 The described method for constructing business process diagrams includes:

[0068] S310 receives a business process establishment request.

[0069] The business process establishment request includes the hierarchical information of the business process initiator and the business scenario information. The hierarchical information of the business process initiator can be used to determine the next user node in the flow of the business process, and the business scenario information can be used to determine all user nodes that should participate in the business process. The aforementioned business scenario information can be used to represent the user nodes that should participate in the approval for different business types, such as user nodes that should participate in the approval for leave slips, expense reimbursements, large-amount transfers, loan approvals, etc. Of course, the business scenario information is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art may make other changes based on the technical essence of the embodiments in this specification, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same as or similar to those in the embodiments of this specification, they should all be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this specification.

[0070] S320, in response to a business process establishment request, determines the target business process from the business process diagram based on hierarchical information and business scenario information.

[0071] The target business process includes multiple approval nodes, with adjacent nodes connected by directed edges. Upon receiving the hierarchical information and business scenario information from the business process initiator, the system can determine the target business process from the business process diagram based on these two types of information.

[0072] This application embodiment automatically determines the target business process from the business process diagram based on hierarchical information and business scenario information. Since the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment covers the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, it also includes the business processes corresponding to approvals at the same level and approvals across levels.

[0073] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0074] The pending approval items are sent to the approval nodes in sequence according to the target business process, and the approvers associated with the approval nodes are notified.

[0075] Among these methods, SMS, email, and in-system messages can be used to inform the approver of pending tasks that need to be handled.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0077] After saving the activity information (including historical nodes, submitting users, processing users, etc.) from the activity information table of the user node instance under the current process instance to the user node instance's historical information table, the activity information in the current process instance's activity information table is deleted, and a new activity information entry is generated in the user node instance's activity information table. Through the user node instance's activity information table and the user node instance's historical information table, the flow record of the current process instance can be completely reconstructed.

[0078] This application embodiment automatically determines the target business process from the business process diagram based on hierarchical information and business scenario information. Since the business process diagram generated by this application embodiment covers the approval flow information corresponding to each organizational level, it also includes the business processes corresponding to approvals at the same level and approvals across levels.
