Approval Process in Easy DMS.

[Former Member]

Dear All,

How can we use approval process in SAP EasyDMS. we have status network as Inwork,Request for approval and Release.

The person who uploads document will be authorized to change the Inital status from "Inwork" to "Request for Approval". The next superior person will release that document.

Now issue is how does the approver will come to know about the document which is requested for release. By using search method in SAP Easy DMS he gets a list of doc's which are having the status "Request for Approval". Is it the right method or do we have an alternative, to address the above issue.

Hi Dayananda,

Your requirement can be met by implementing workflow.Now, EasyDMS can be configured to receive workflow notification on logon. User can then choose to launch the workflow inbox. refer SAP Note 1393846 for more info.

This feature is available with older versions of EasyDMS also, but is a newly adapted feature.

Hi Daya,

Yes, you are right! In standard behaviour this is the only method or you can create a receipient list and approver will get the intimation in SAP mailbox ( t-code SBWP). If you want more advance that user needs to get intimation in his external mailbox like outllok, lotus note etc. then you can use Workflow. This can be achieved with help of Abap'r ( workflow) person.

In standard you are right.

Hope this will help.

Dear Ravindra,

Thanks for your information.

Could u please elaborate the procedure to send notification to an approver in t-code SBWP (SAP Mailbox) without using workflow.
