Several other specific customizing steps are necessary for this workflow template in addition to the general customizing that is necessary to make sure that the workflow system functions properly.

Activities

Defining the Organizational Structure

In Purchasing, settlement accounting with respect to a rebate arrangement is always carried out by the responsible purchasing group. All purchasing groups that have to carry out settlement accounting via workflow must therefore first be identified in Customizing for SAP Business Workflow. A purchasing group is typically assigned to an organizational unit. Organizational units are a means of subdividing an enterprise according to various business criteria (for example, most enterprises are made up of different departments).

Define your organizational structure via the Customizing activity (Basis Components ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow) ® Edit organizational plan.

Perform the Customizing activity (Basis Components ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow ® Basic Settings) ® Maintain Assignments for SAP Organizational Object Types, and assign the purchasing groups (object type T024) to the organizational units or positions that the purchasing groups represent.

Performing Task-Specific Customizing

Here you list all organizational management objects (e.g. jobs or positions) that are generally allowed to carry out settlement accounting with regard to rebate arrangements in Purchasing and classify the general tasks.

You assign tasks in Materials Management as follows:

  1. Perform the customizing activity (Basis Components ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow ® ) Perform Task-Specific Customizing.
  2. Then, under Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Vendor - Material Relationships and Conditions, choose the activity Assign Tasks to Agent (processor).
  3. Classify the standard tasks TS00900055 (Comparison of Business Volumes for Rebate Arrangement), and TS00900058 (Settlement Accounting for Rebate Arrangement) as general tasks.

Activating Event-Receiver Linkage

The events ToBeSettledInterim (for partial settlement accounting) and ToBeSettledFinal (for final settlement accounting) for the object type BUS3030 (rebate arrangement - Purchasing) are triggering events of workflow template 00900007 (settlement accounting with regard to rebate arrangements in Purchasing) and are entered as such in the event linkage table in the standard system. For the workflow template to actually be started, the linkage between the triggering events and the workflow template as receiver of the events must be activated in Customizing for SAP Business Workflow.

Activate the workflow template MMRebAgSettl in your system as follows:

  1. Perform the customizing activity (Basis Components ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow ® Basic Settings) ® Perform Task-Specific Customizing.
  2. Activate event linkage for the workflow template (Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Vendor - Material Relationships and Conditions ® Activate Event Linkage).

(Alternatively, you can activate event-receiver linkage by processing the workflow template directly.)
