Binding Definition for Document from Template (SAP Library

Binding Definition for Document from Template

Use

In the binding definition you enter elements of the workflow container, which are to either pass values to the task container or receive values from the task container after processing.

Binding definitions are only necessary for the step type Document from template under the following circumstances:

If you use your own single-step task
If you have used expressions from the task container in the title or in the task texts of the single-step task
If an attachment is to be created based on a document template
If the creator of the document is still required in the workflow

The binding for the document templates required, which you specified on the tab page Document templates, is defined automatically. The binding from the workflow container to the task container for the element Flowitem and the binding from the task container to the workflow container for the element _WI_Object_Id are also defined automatically.

Features

The following container elements in the task container are particularly significant for this binding:

_WI_Actual_Agent (actual agent)

If you want to transfer the agent for the document generation to the workflow container for further use, you define an element with the ABAP Dictionary reference WFSYST-AGENT there to hold this information.

Note_Reference (template for notes)

If you assign a workflow container element containing a template (business object reference SOFM ) to this container element, the agent can enter a document as an attachment at runtime, which is based on this template.
