A Specforge output

One map of how the business runs

You bring the discovery notes. Specforge gives back one map. It runs from purchase order to financial statements. It shows each system and file on the way. It marks where each step touches the books.

This sample comes from a current-state study. Names and details are changed. It still reads like a real company on SAP S/4HANA. That is the point. Every company has systems around its ERP. Every company has flat files. Most have spreadsheets that hold the close together.

What goes in

  • Meeting transcripts and minutes
  • Client documents and screenshots
  • Interface lists and file layouts
  • Answers to the discovery questions

What comes out

  • Eleven process steps in the order the work happens
  • Every system and every file on one canvas
  • A badge on each box for its accounting impact
  • A detail panel for each box
Interactive current state

Step 7 of 11

How to read the map

Start with the step bar above the map. Pick a number from 1 to 11. The map moves to that step. Its boxes stay bright. The rest fade back. Pick Overview to see the whole chain again.

Each box is one system or one team. A small pill is one file. Lines show what moves between them. Each line says how often it runs.

The badge shows the accounting impact. Books means the box posts to the ledger. Calc means it works out a number the ledger uses. No badge means it only moves data.

Select any box to open its panel. The panel lists what comes in and what goes out. It also shows sample journal entries.

On a phone the map opens one step at a time. Use the arrows to move between steps.

Current state

This sample shows the current state. Future choices stay separate until your team approves them.

Why it matters

Most programs find these flows late. Some find them in testing. Some find them after go-live. This map puts them in front of the team during discovery. The team then designs for the real business.
