Defining Responsibilities

Use

Specifying responsibilities is always optional. You can specify them as follows:

This is a static assignment to a R/3 System user.

This is a static assignment to the organizational plan of your enterprise.

This is a dynamic assignment to the organizational plan of your enterprise.

This is a dynamic assignment in which an organizational object is established from the workflow container.

Procedure

  1. Choose a responsibility type.
  2. Enter the ID or the name of the responsibility.

Specifying a responsibility via a role

You must define the binding from the task container or workflow container to the role container according to the environment of the responsibility definition. Two functions are displayed if you choose role as type.

Choose the function Binding. Assign elements from the workflow container or task container to the role parameters required for the role resolution. Depending on the role, it may not be necessary for all the role parameters to be linked with elements from the task container or workflow container.

If you choose Define binding automatically, the system proposes a binding definition. You can edit and confirm this proposal or reject it. For further information, refer to Rule-Based Proposal for Binding Definitions.

Specifying a responsibility via an expression

The responsibility cannot or is not to be determined until runtime via an element from the workflow container. Use the F4 input help to specify the expression and bear in mind the color coding of the container elements.

If you want to specify the user who started the workflow as employee responsible, use the container element _WF_Initiator as the expression.

The container element or object attribute described by the variable can also be multiline. It must be created with a reference to an ABAP Dictionary table field, which in turn refers to the domain HROBJEC_14 (for example WFSYST-INITIATOR or WFSYST-AGENT) .

You use the field WFSYST-AGENT as data type reference if you want to extend the container.

Result

If you do not enter any responsibility, a recipient is established by the system in accordance with the responsibility rules.
