If a new or changed travel plan is saved/posted, a workflow is started, based on template type PlanApproval .
Workflow Template: WS01000087
Abbreviation: PlanApproval
Name:
Approve Travel Plan
The
PlanCreated
event (
Travel Plan Created
) of the
BUS2089
object type (
Employee Trip
) is entered as the triggering event of the workflow template.
Note
This “link” between the event and the workflow template to be started is deactivated in the standard system. If you want to start the workflow template, the link must be activated in Customizing for SAP Business Workflow.
The most important information that must be available during workflow is the object reference to the trip to be processed ( _Evt_Object ), and the name of the person who entered the trip data ( _Evt_Creator ). This information is available in the form of event parameters in the container for the triggering event, and must be transferred to the workflow container by “binding”.
The standard system includes the following binding definition between the triggering event and the workflow container:
Workflow Container |
Event Parameter Container |
|
---|---|---|
_WF_Initiator |
|
_Evt_Creator |
EmployeeTrip |
|
_Evt_Object |
In the standard system, the _WF_Initiator element is included in the workflow container. The EmployeeTrip element was created in addition to the existing standard elements.
