Business Background

With the help of SAP Business Workflow, you can organize and automate the various related work steps in Engineering Change Management.

In this way, you can control to what extent the employees are involved in the change process.

There are several scenarios for Engineering Change Management in the standard system.

This Workflow results in a slight implementation and management expense and enables you to use the entire functionality of the SAP Business Workplace. You can use this Workflow for simple change master records as well as for ECRs/ECOs.

The Workflow Management system has a defined data flow that ensures that the work steps of a change process are performed by the employees responsible at the correct time.

For more information, see Basis ® Business Management (BC-BMT) → SAP Business Workflow (BC-BMT-WFM) → Reference documentation → BC – Workflow scenarios in the applications → LO –Logistics - general: Workflow scenarios.
