Background documentation Task Completion Commands  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

When you are done performing the action required by a task, you can indicate your completion using four different MDM workflow commands,  only one of which will be enabled by MDM at any given time based upon the particular circumstances of the workflow.

For some of the commands, MDM also displays a single- or multi-level cascading menu that includes the following entries:

·        Groups

·        Steps

·        Roles

·        Users

In particular, which levels and elements are included in the cascading menu depends upon whether or not you are the last user to perform a step and/or the Execution Type of the current or next step.

The Next Stepcommand with cascading menus is illustrated in the following figure; the task completion commands are summarized in the table below.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Previous Step

Previous Step > group > previous step(s) > user(s)

Note

[ANY] appears as the first choice in the cascading menus of the Next User and Next Step commands only when there are multiple remaining users, roles, or steps, as applicable.

Note

Choosing the [ANY] user creates a manual pull; choosing one of the named users creates a manual push.
