Workflow Template (SD-SLS-OA)
The following two workflow templates are delivered in the standard system for changing master contacts:
Identification code: SD_KK_WF
Long text: Workflow for changing customer contracts
Identification code: SD_GK_WF
Long text: Updates according to master contract
Workflow Template WS20000049
Triggering Event in Workflow Template
When you change the master contract, the changed event for object type BUS 2095 (master contract) is triggered and starts the workflow template. Workflow template WS20000048 starts for all the lower level contracts assigned to the master contract. Workflow template WS20000048 generates a work item for each lower level contract.
Workflow Container and Data Flow
Information on object reference for the master contract to be processed (_EVT_OBJECT), the name of the person who changed the master contract (_EVT_CREATOR), a list of all the lower level contracts that should be changed (CONTRACTLIST), and the values that should be changed according to the referencing procedure (CHANGEDVALUES) must be available in the workflow. This information is available as an event parameter in the container for the triggered event and has to be transferred into the workflow container using data flow.
The following data flow definitions between the triggering event and the workflow container have been defined in the standard system:
Workflow Container |
Event Parameter Container |
GroupContract |
<-- _EVT_CREATOR |
CustomerContracts |
<-- _EVT_OBJECT |
ChangedValues |
<-- CONTRACTLIST |
|
<-- CHANGEDVALUES |
Terminating Events
Workflow template WS20000049 finishes if all the workflows have finished for the lower level contracts (event changed to object type BUS2034). Before this happens, task TS20000233 is triggered (workflow indicator is deleted from table VBAK).
Workflow Template WS20000048 (Change Contract)
Triggering Event
Workflow template WS2000049 triggers workflow template WS2000048 to change all lower level contracts. The workflow template contains the two standard tasks - TS20000140 (change contracts in background processing) and TS20000141 (change contract online).

The workflow container receives the following information:
Terminating Events
There is a workflow for each lower level contract which finishes once the lower level contract has been changed (changed event for object type BUS2034).
The complete workflow finishes once all the lower level contracts have been changed.
The following graphic shows the schematic flow of the workflow template and its tasks:
