Maintenance of Classification and Lock Indicators

Classification

You can arrange tasks and workflows into various classes within the SAP System. The classes professional, personal, and disciplinary are standard.

The system checks the task class under the field name TASK_CLASS in the authorization object S_WF_WI. This system uses this authorization object to check the authorization for carrying out specific actions on particular work items.

The assignment of tasks to classes is also important in the definition of substitutes. You can also define that only those classes are displayed which refer to tasks or workflows of a particular class. Take this into account when you create new classes and assign tasks or workflows to the classes. For more information, see Defining a Substitute During a User's Absence and in Customizing, by choosing  SAP Web Application Server  Business Management   SAP Business Workflow  Basic Settings (Organization Management)  Maintain Task Classes .

Lock indicators

You can set the following lock indicators:

• Locked For Instantiation

  The system does not create a work item for this task or workflow.

• Locked against execution (only for tasks)

  The system does create a work item for this task, but it cannot be executed.

Adding new task classes to the system

In Customizing for Organizational Management, you can add more task classes to the predefined classes.
