This contribution focuses on documentation of model-to-model transformation, respectively on converting model represented by BORM notation (Business Object Relation Modelling) to a HTML-based textual report. The transformation is from the management-level business process model into the operation-level business process model. The operation-level model should be textual and tailored for each individual participant. This article introduces a modular extension of OpenCASE software that utilizes OpenCASE knowledge base and API to generate textual reports automatically. This report is based on HTML language, because of the portability and easy distribution of the format. Such report is easy to understand even for business people without hard technical skills. We present both the transformation, and the modular extension on a case study.

Keywords: BORM, Transformation, Tool, Report, HTML, Case study
