Use

This documentation contains a description of shipped SAP workflows that realize workflow scenarios. Each workflow scenario has its own description. The descriptions contain information about the features available in the standard system, as well as the options relating to settings and modifications for your own developments.

Prerequisites

This documentation does not replace the Workflow documentation.

For information about using and calling the individual tools and about taking advantage of the complete functionality for your own enhancements and developments, refer to the Workflow Documentation.

Features

Each description has the same structure and usually contains the following topics:

Process description

You learn which business processes are supported, which employees (or employee groups) are involved, and what advantages and benefits can be derived from using SAP workflow for this process.

This information is enough to give you a first overview of an application.

Technical implementation

You learn, in detail, how the business process is represented in the system

You are familiarized with the object types which form the basis of SAP Workflow, you discover which tasks are defined to describe the activities to be carried out, which roles are resolved, and which events are used. The structure of the SAP Workflow used, as well as the interface and container, are described in greater detail.

This information is particularly useful if you are planning to enhance and modify the SAP Workflow and if you must identify the points at which changes can be made.

This section is not available if no enhancements are planned or appropriate.

Preparation and customizing

You learn which application-specific or scenario-specific preparations and settings are required to adapt the SAP Workflow to the business conditions in your company.

This section contains notes and recommendations regarding the organizational plan and agent assignment.

You can find more information under Settings and Preparations.

Operation and connection to application functionality

You learn how the technical and business connection between the scenario and the application is controlled, how the scenario can be started and how the corresponding application functionality must be called.
