  2. To display the test case describing how to process the work item, choose Display Documentation.

  3. If required: Forward the recording work item to another business process expert

    3. Optional: To explain why you forward it, enter a comment.

    4. Choose Forward.

      The work item is displayed in the worklist of the new business process expert, and not in that of the previous one. In the standard configuration, the system notifies the new business process expert about the new work item by e-mail.

    You can also choose the link in either the Description or Executable Entity column.

    When you start recording, the execution status for the recording work item switches from Open to In Execution.

  5. Perform the required steps in the managed system.

  6. End the executable entities in SAP GUI by choosing the End icon. Close the application browser window of Web applications.

  7. Stop the TBOM recording.

    Once you have completed the TBOM recording, the TBOM work item execution status changes to Executed. If errors occur during the recording, the execution status remains Open.

    • To repeat a TBOM recording, choose Start of the navigation path Execute Next navigation step Repeat Last Execution End of the navigation path.

      Example: You have inadvertently selected an incorrect path in a transaction.

      The system deletes the last TBOM enhancement recorded, and replaces it with the new recording. If the TBOM previously contained enhancements, these are retained without changes.

    • Return the TBOM recording work items to the quality expert.

      Example: The documentation does not describe with sufficient detail what to do.

      1. Choose Back to QA Expert.

      2. In the Comment field, specify which information you require to be able to record the TBOM.

        The recording work item disappears from your worklist. In the standard configuration, the system notifies the quality expert by e-mail about your query.

      4. Continue the work item when the quality expert has responded to your query and the work item is in your worklist.

  9. To confirm you have finished the recording, choose Complete.

    The recording work item disappears from your worklist. In the standard configuration, the system notifies the quality expert by e-mail that the work item has been executed.
