End-to-End Integration Testing Across Processes

Keep this: job aid

Integration storyline card

• One storyline, one data story: each step uses the real output of the step before.
• Build segments from scope items (BD9, J45, BJ5, J58); name each handoff and owner.
• Add branches for risky handoffs: partial supply, price variance, second plant, credit.
• Master data in dependency order; standard cost released at the expected value is an entry criterion.
• One MRP owner, scoped jobs at checkpoints, separate stock per storyline, frozen master data.
• Plan the calendar backwards from the period close.
• Handoff notes carry storyline ID, document numbers, quantities and status.
• Verify chain, quantities, values and the storyline reconciliation.
• Report by storyline and handoff; exit only when main storylines run without workarounds.
