Assignment of a Workflow Template to the Process 

Use

You use the workflow template to make the following settings for your process:

●      You use the workflow definition in the Workflow Builder to determine which process steps follow one other.

●      You use the rules for determining processors to set which user receives which process step for processing.

●      You use the standard tasks that the individual workflow steps are based on to determine the following:

○       which form is used in which process step

○       which interface functions (for example, pushbuttons Save Draft or Withdraw Process) are available in the individual process steps

Prerequisites

●      In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver, under Application Server ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow, you have set up the workflow runtime environment.

●      You have made the settings for standard components and workflows in Customizing for HR Administrative Services under Configuration of Forms/Processes ® Process Configuration.

Features

●      You can assign an existing workflow template that you previously created in the Workflow Builder.

●      You can create a new workflow template for your process.

●      You can reconcile the form scenarios of the process with the form scenarios of the workflow template. For more information, see Assignment of Form Scenarios to a Process.
