You can enter freely definable text here and assign it a value.
SAP also provides workflow system properties, whose names are determined. For this, you can only edit the values. Thus the workflow runtime can be controlled or provided with additional data. The length of the value is unrestricted.
You can use the workflow properties defined here in the programmer exits, for example.
Features
The workflow system property
sap.bc.bmt.wfm.groups is used to assign a group description to every step. Using this group description, you can structure the graphical representation of the workflow. The selection field displays all the group descriptions previously defined. One of the group descriptions you have just entered is automatically entered in the selection field and is also available as a selection for all other steps.You can use this, for example, to order the steps of a workflow by the groups that the individual steps execute (workflow system, sales and distribution, production, and so on). The Teamworking tray is available in the object area for this. For more information, see
Teamworking in the Workflow Builder.Example
You can find an example for the use of the group description in the SAP workflow Process notification of absence (
AF_APPROVE, WS30000015).This workflow also has the workflow property
sap.bc.bmt.wfm.process.status. A process info system is created for this workflow property by evaluating this programmer exit. You can call the process information system by choosing Tools ® Business Workflow ® Development ® Demo ® Work Item Exits ® Process Info System.
