Purpose

The EH&S workflow automates the entry and update of value assignment types. The collective term EH&S Workflow groups together a series of tools that offer you support with creating workflow definitions within the Product Safety component.

Process Flow

  1. A user makes a change for a specification with or without a change number to an object that was defined in Customizing for Product Safety as the start event for the start condition of your workflow definition. You can define the objects of the following categories as start events:

The SAP System then checks whether the start condition has been completely fulfilled. For this purpose, all value assignment types that were defined explicitly as value assignment types for the start condition must have been entered for the specification. This means that specifications not edited completely are excluded from the workflow. For more information, see the IMG activity Specify Start Condition in Customizing for Product Safety.
  1. The report RC1WFSUB determines all specifications that were changed since the last workflow run. It checks for every combination (specification, changed object) whether the start condition for the workflow definition is fulfilled. All specifications that have passed the check are transferred as a set of specifications to the workflow. For more information, see the IMG activity Set Up Job for Starting EH&S Workflow.
  1. The workflow is started and for each combination (specification in specification set, property in task profile) creates a work item that is sent to all persons assigned to the workflow definition.

The task profile is assigned to the workflow step in Customizing for Product Safety and defines which value assignment types must be processed by the persons responsible. For more information, see the IMG activity Specify Task Profile.

Example

The value assignment type Solubility in water is defined as a start event and is changed for a specification. The workflow checks whether the value assignment type Density has already been edited for the specification because this value assignment type was entered under the value assignment types of the start condition.

If this is the case, the workflow ensures that the value assignment type Stability in water is checked and, if necessary, corrected by the person responsible.

Result

When a person responsible accepts a work item, this then appears in their inbox only and disappears from the inboxes of the other persons responsible.

When a person responsible executes a work item, it appears directly in the value assignment for the relevant combination (specification, property). Using the Work item context function, you can view the change documents that caused the work item to be created.

If the person responsible makes changes to the value assignment type, other change documents are created that can lead to new workflows the next time the background job (report RC1WFSUB) is run.

After saving, the person responsible can enter a text as a comment and terminate processing of the step.
