Process documentation Workflow: Planning Session with One Layout   Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You can realize a planning session within BW-BPS business planning in which plan data can be entered by several agents with the delivered workflow Planning Session with Several Layouts (BPS52). In contrast to the workflow planning session with several layouts only one larger workflow is started here that contains the work items of all agents. This is only possible with a small number of agents (< 99).

You can distribute planning tasks to many users from a central position and monitor the procedure using the SAP Business Workflow, and for example, execute a work item analysis.

Prerequisites

You have carried out the activities described in the Preparation and Customizing section.

       3.      Start the workflow Manual Planning and Planning Function manually in the SAP Easy Access screen under Tools Business Workflow Runtime Tools Start Workflow or Test Workflow. Enter the planning packages and the layout that should be used for planning.

       4.      The system generates a work item per planning package and automatically provides the assigned agents with them in the Business Workplace inbox.

       5.      The agents enter the plan data and finish the workflow manually. Since the workflow is completed manually, plan data entry can be executed in several phases over a longer period.
