 Validity-Period-Dependent Settings for a Process

Use

You use this function to determine all data for a process that is dependent on a validity period.

Features

You determine the following settings as dependent on a validity period:

  • Settings for the start step of the process

    • In the start step, you can show the Forward to Experts pushbutton.

    • You can determine how the system reacts when the processor wants to close the start step but the entered data is not complete or is incorrect.

    • You can determine whether the process can be run without a start object, for example, without specifying a personnel number.

      Example Example

      For example, this setting is useful for a process for hiring new employees. You determine the personnel number of the employee during the process, and not before the process start.

      End of the example.

      Note Note

      If you set the No Start Object indicator for a process, you can only assign process groups to it that also have this indicator set. For more information, see Grouping Processes in Groups .

      End of the note.

  • Assignment of a workflow template to the process

  • Assignment of roles to the process

  • Assignment of the process to one or more groups
