Technical Implementation (BC-BMT-WFM) 
Object types
Object technology is used to implement the interface between the R/3 functions and the workflow system.
The following information is of a technical nature. You require this information if you are interested in the details of implementation or want to make your own enhancements.
Object Type FORMABSENC (Form: Notification of Absence) Object Type SELFITEM (Work Item for Dialog Steps On Itself)Standard tasks
The standard tasks used here are available as "modules" and can also be used in other workflow scenarios without any modifications.
Standard Task AF_approve (Approve Notification of Absence) Standard Task AF_update (Revise Notification of Absence) Standard Task AF_delete (Delete Notification of Absence) Standard Task AF_Txt_Send (Send Long Text After Approval)Roles
Roles are usually defined very specifically for an application scenario.
An exception to this is the role for determining an employee's superior. This role is also used in the example for processing a notification of absence and is available for general use.
Role Manager (Superior of...)Workflow template
The business process flow is implemented as a workflow definition within a workflow template.
You can find this workflow template in your R/3 System.
