You use this process to make all Customizing settings that are needed to run the workflow for the change process in Master Data Governance.

Note Note

Which settings you have to make depends on whether you use a rule-based workflow or a different workflow (for example, the the standard workflow templates for the business partner/supplier or Financials).

For the rule-based workflow, you integrate rules from the Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus) with the workflow.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • You have made the necessary general settings for workflows and defined the organizational plan in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under   Application Server   Business Management   SAP Business Workflow  .

  • To be able to use the MDG processes, you have assigned the PFCG roles SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_SERV_USER and SAP_MDG_WF_ADM to the workflow system user (typically WF-BATCH) in transaction SU01. For more information, see SAP Note 1251255.

Process

Note Note

You can find Customizing for Master Data Governance for the following steps under   General Settings   Process Modeling   Workflow   or Change Requests.

End of the note.

  1. In Customizing activity Activate Type Linkage, make sure that event type linkage is activated for business object type BUS2250 and the event CREATED, and that you have created this with a blank entry for the receiver type. This receiver type is defined using the receiver type function module USMD_WF_RECEIVER_TYPE.

    Note Note

    The event type linkage for the combination of business object type BUS2250 and event CREATED must be activated once only.

    End of the note.

  2. To assign processors to a workflow task, classify the workflow task in Customizing step Configure Workflow Tasks as a General Task.

  3. For a rule-based workflow, make the following settings:

    1. In Customizing activity Define Steps for Rule-Based Workflow, define the individual workflow steps that are to be executed for a particular change request type.

    2. In Customizing activity Define Service Names for Rule-Based Workflow, define a corresponding service name for each Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation that you want to create.

      Note Note

      Service names are used as filter values for the BAdI implementations used in the rule-based workflow.

      End of the note.

    3. In the Customizing activity Configure Rule-Based Workflow, configure the workflow rules.

    4. Assign the workflow template WS60800086 in Customizing activity Create Change Request Type to your change request type.

    For more information, see Setting Up the Rule-Based Workflow

    The use of rule-based workflows can be part of your enhancement concept. For more information, see Enhancement of Master Data Governance Content.

  4. For all other workflows (for example, the the standard workflow templates for the business partner/supplier or Financials) of Master Data Governance make the following settings:

    1. In Customizing activity Define Workflow Step Numbers, check whether the delivery Customizing is being used.

    2. In Customizing activity Assign Processor to Workflow Step Number (Simple Workflow), assign one or more processors to each workflow step.

    3. When processing a change request, assign the workflow templates to be used (for example, the standard workflow template for Financials WS75700027) to your change request type in Customizing activity Create Change Request Type.

  5. If you do not use the delivered roles in SAP NetWeaver Portal, you need to change the configuration of the UWL com.sap.pct.erp.09_fmdm. Insert the Unique ID of the new role in the Principals section.

    For more information, see UWL Content Configuration.

Note Note

In addition, there are Customizing BAdIs available to enhance the standard functions.
