Hi Mahesh,

SAP Business Workflow enables the design and execution of business processes within SAP application systems: Workflow processes are delivered as content in the SAP Business Suite. Additionally, customers can not only enhance those workflows provided by SAP, but they can also create their own workflows. SAP Business Workflow is at the heart of the SAP system. Through integration with Organizational Management and standard SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence for reporting and analysis, this enables you to manage business processes which fit into your organization, the application, and which can be used for auditing and business process compliance.

example

WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE

Steps involved are :

1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code

2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.

3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,

4) Click on "activate event linking"

5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"

and Save.

6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.

BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.

7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.

Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

hope it clears

Hi,

1) Work flow: - Work flow is standard functionality of SAP.

I give one example to u.

In the case of purchase order creation, First purchase person create purchase order, then first purchase order approved by purchase head and then auditor approved purchase order on print of purchase order.

With work flow you can send soft copy of purchase order to both person purchase head and auditor to approve your purchase order.

Due to this your process for purchase material is faster then manual process.

2) You can implement work flow in purchase order release strategy with below mention detail.

For mail facility, you need to activate workflow for PO release procedure;

*Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders *

Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes >

here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code

Now come to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders >

Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow >

Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.

Now Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,

Now click on "activate event linking"

Here open "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button

Here activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue" and Save data.

Same way and click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.

Now create a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Regard,
