Worklist Generation 

Purpose

If updating of change pointers was activated in table BDCP for message category CONDBI, this setting applies to all condition types defined in the system. Only a certain part of the condition changes is, however, relevant to the individual applications. It therefore makes sense to limit the change pointers in table BDCP to only those that meet the requirements of the individual applications. You can do this by generating a worklist (transaction ME14) for the application concerned.

The change pointers filtered in the worklist are updated for applications in the table WIND. The worklists can be generated separately for the different applications on the basis of the document category defined (similar to the document indices).

Application area and associated document category

Purchase order (purchasing document)

The change pointers are filtered out from table BDCP on the basis of the Customizing settings defined in table T6I1. The condition types and condition tables for which you want to generate a worklist are defined in this table.

To makes these settings, the following transactions are available in Customizing for the individual application areas:

Application area

Customizing transaction

Description of the transaction

Purchase order

OMHJ

Adjustment of purchasing documents

Pricing

OWV2

 

OWV4

Adjustment of pricing documents for external reference

Adjustment of pricing documents for external reference

Order optimizing, investment buying

OWIA

Conditions types relevant for changes for investment buying

POS outbound

OWS2

Maintenance of document indices

In the Purchase Order and Pricing application areas, table T6I1 also controls updating of document indices. This makes sure that worklist generation and document index updating are in line with each other. For further information, see Updating Change Pointer and Document Indices.

Process Flow

The following figure illustrates the process involved in worklist generation.

  1. When conditions change, change pointers are updated in table BDCP.
  2. When you generate a worklist, the system filters the change pointers on the basis of the entries in table T6I1 and updates them in table WIND.

Results

The table WIND contains the filtered change pointers by document category and application area.
