Worklist 

Definition

A worklist is a group of postprocessing orders that are all to be processed by the same team of employees.

Use

You can assign at least one worklist to every employee. You can also assign worklists to organizational units.

You must have defined the worklists in Customizing. You can also assign worklists to specific business processes and define a root organizational unit. The corresponding IMG activities are in the Customizing for the Postprocessing Office under Worklist.

Definition and assignment of worklists has the following advantages:

·        During dialog processing in the Postprocessing Office, the overview screen displays the postprocessing orders that are in the employee’s worklist.

·        On the initial screen of the Postprocessing Desktop, you can use filter functions to define specific worklists. The system then displays the relevant postprocessing orders on the overview screen.

·        In Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) processing, the system only selects postprocessing orders from the specified worklists.

For more information about assignment of users or organizational units to worklists, see changing worklist assignments and displaying worklist assignments.

Integration
