Workflow RelationshipsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can use this function to establish the work items in which a particular object is being processed. The following work item types are taken into account:

  • Dialog work items (type W)

  • Background work items (type B)

  • Workflow work items (type F)

The list displayed is purely runtime information.

Features

You can call the function for displaying linked workflows from several starting points.

Calling via SAP Easy Access

Two functions are available via SAP Easy Access:

Workflows for object

This function displays all workflows linked to a particular object (for example a specific notification of absence). You must specify this object beforehand.

Workflows for object type

This function displays all workflows linked to a particular object type (for example FORMABSENC). You must specify this object type beforehand.

Note

You can only specify objects whose object type definition supports the interface IFFIND.

Calling from the Business Workplace

In this case, you do not specify the object. The workflow relationships are displayed for the object processed in the selected work item.

Calling as a generic object service

In this case, you do not specify the object. The workflow relationships are displayed for the object being processed.

Understanding What is Displayed

The display of the workflow relationships has two parts. The upper part displays the workflows identified for the object or object type. The lower part displays data on the currently selected work item in the form of a simplified workflow log:
