Workflow-Integration for Business Processes (SAP Library - Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC))

Workflow-Integration for Business Processes

Use

You can use the workflow to reproduce business work steps in the SAP System. The workflow serves as an interface between organization and controlling.

To do this, you define a workflow in which you describe and specify each of the tasks in a business process.

You can assign these types of workflow definitions to business processes. This enables you to create allocation systems that calculate the data of various business processes and/or cost centers/activity types.

Activities

You must complete the following:

Create or choose a workflow definition with the business process steps, and assign the workflow to a business process
Assign cost data to the individual tasks
Create a template in environment SBP
Assign the template to the business process

Creating or Choosing a Workflow Definition/Assigning Business Processes

Choose a business process that you want to change (see Business Processes).

Go to the Organization tab page.

Create or choose a task.

In the Task type field, choose WS/Workflow template. Use the Workflow Builder to create the necessary steps, and/or insert existing tasks (for procedures, see Workflow Builder and Tasks and Tasks Groups) or

Choose an existing task in the Task field.

Save the changed business process.
