Hi Rajesh,

In general,we are using this workflow to release the blocked documents by the authorised persons.

To set these authorised persons,you have to meet your HR person ask them to create ther PERNR numbers.

Asign these pernr numbers in the workflow table.

So that E-mail will be triggered for them.They can check in SBWP T.Code in SAP.

Ex:When you create the creditmemo request w.r.t a sales order or an invoice,a block will be set automatically.To release this block we have two ways.

1)By going into VA02 T.Code and removing the block.

2)By workflow.In this a mail will be generated for the approver and he/she will check in SBWP T.Code and then relese it for creditmemo through an option there.

Pls go through the following links:

Hi friend,

SAP Workflow ensures " the right work is brought in the right sequence at the right time to the right people". It is a tool designed to facilitate and automate business processes that require tasks to be performed by people. Ideal for casual or non-SAP users, since all the work items can be performed outside of SAP by simply responding to an email, SAP workflow can be linked to Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes. Each step of a business transaction can be easily monitored and processes are completed from the beginning to the end. Workflow allows process owners to keep an eye on deadlines, provides statistics on the length of time to complete work processes, determine the workload with regard to individual employees and save processing time. Since Workflow delivers work items to employees automatically via email, they do not have to wait or inquire about the status of a particular transaction.
