 1.3 Creating a Process

Use

In this lesson you create process ZTPR. This connects the workflow template and the form scenario that you created in the previous lessons. You make the settings necessary for process ZTPR in Customizing for HR Administrative Services , by choosing Start of the navigation path Configuration of Forms/Processes Next navigation step Process Configuration End of the navigation path .

Prerequisites

  • You have created the ISR scenario and form scenario ZTFS.

  • You have linked the ISR scenario and the form scenario to each other.

  • You have created the form.

  • You have created workflow template ZTWS.

Procedure

  1. Define the process.

    Choose the IMG activity Start of the navigation path Set Up Processes Next navigation step Define Processes End of the navigation path . Define the process ID and the process name here.

    • Process ID: ZTPR

    • Process name: Relocation

      The process name is later displayed in the start application and in the process browser. You can also enter a longer process description in another field.

  2. Configure the process start.

    Choose the IMG activity Start of the navigation path Set Up Processes Next navigation step Configure Process Start End of the navigation path . Choose the entry for process ZTPR created in the previous step. Define the following characteristics:

    • Period (start and end date) in which process ZTPR is valid, meaning that a start application can be assigned

    • Form scenario and version number used when starting the process

      Specify form scenario ZTFS that you created in Creating a Form Scenario .

    • Scenario step used when starting the process

      Specify scenario step FSS_1 ( Request ) that you created in the Creating a Form Scenario step.

    • Workflow template used when starting the process

      Specify workflow template ZTWS that you defined in the Creating a Workflow Template step.

  3. Define the valid processes that you want to integrate into the start application for the role.

    Choose the IMG activity Start of the navigation path Set Up Processes Next navigation step Validity for Process Start Next navigation step Specify Valid Processes for Start Applications End of the navigation path .

    1. Specify HR Administrator as the required initiator role.

    2. Add process ZTPR to the valid processes.

    3. Specify the period in which the process is actually visible in the start application.

      Process ZTPR now appears in the specified valid period in the start application for the HR Administrator role.

  4. Permit parallel runs of process.

    Choose the IMG activity Start of the navigation path Set Up Processes Next navigation step Process Groups Next navigation step Permit Parallel Run of Process End of the navigation path .

    Choose the entry for process ZTPR and set the Parallel Run indicator.

    Recommendation Recommendation

    We recommend that you make this setting at least for the test and implementation phase. Otherwise you cannot start the required process for the same employee more than once when testing. During live system operations you can undo this setting for individual processes.

    End of the recommendation.

Result

You have created your process ZTPR and made all required settings.
