All other Customizing activities for Postprocessing Office are optional.

Attributes and Control Parameters of a Postprocessing Order

GUID of Postprocessing Order

The GUID for postprocessing orders is found on the Detail Screen of the Additional Data tab page.

Software Component

Required for the unique selection of postprocessing orders, since all other attributes assigned to a postprocessing order in different software components may have characteristics with similar names.

When you have processed the Customizing activity Define Software Components in Customizing for Postprocessing Office under Software Components, the display and processing of postprocessing orders with the Postprocessing Desktop is done by software component. If you have not executed the Customizing activity, you can use Postprocessing Desktop across software components. However, you also have the option of restricting the selection of the postprocessing orders to certain software components on the initial screen.

For more information, see Connecting Software Components.

Logical System

You can process postprocessing orders from other logical systems when you in the logical system in which you connected your software component to the Postprocessing Office. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access, specify the related logical systems under  Cross-Application Components  Postprocessing Office  Current Settings  or in the relevant transaction in the application menu of the implementation.

Business Process and Business Process ID

Action during which an error occurred and that leads to the creation of a postprocessing order. A business process can be a mass run, for example. Each mass run is identified by a business process ID.

Object Role:

Main Object:

Object for which a business process could not be executed successfully, which resulted in a postprocessing order being created for Postprocessing Office.

Base Object:

Object that is the source of the main object. A base object does not exist for every main object.

Environment Objects 1 and 2, and Additional Environment Objects

Objects that can be called to process the event in addition to the main and base object and that are the source of a postprocessing object.

An environment object does not exist for every main object.

You can add additional environment objects to standard environment objects 1 and 2. You can use the BAdI Add Environment Objects for Detail Screen Processing for this purpose.

Object Type

Type of main, base, or environment object, for example, business object type.

Object Key

Key that uniquely identifies an object along with the object category, object type, and the logical system.

Object Category

Currently not used on the user interface or in BAPI structures. Specifies whether this is a business object or other type of object.

Message Class and Number

The messages are stored as a copy in the structure of the postprocessing order.

• Main message

• Messages that were issued during the runtime of the business process (for example, the mass run).

  Caution

  Technical errors are not entered in postprocessing orders. Therefore, controlling job control is essential.
