HI,

1. it depends on your configuration, if you will use inbound processing or not. If you use inbound (at SO50 the class is set) then you should not schedule the /SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALGET as a job.

2. it depends on the customer. I have seen with the wf-batch and with other names but with the same rights and config of WF-batch.

3. you can use the swu3 to create the wf-batch user. I have set as type system.

4. yes you need the emaill of the user who is the processor

5. this is a basis configuration, I am not sure. ( you will need to setup the sapconnet)
