Can you be more specific about the workflow requiremens?

If just sending Sales Order to manager/user's email, you can just set-up output type to automatic send email.

Generally, workflow requires ABAPer, and respective module consultant to work together.

Hi Venky,

Just giving you examples for both work flow and document flow.

Document Flow:

After creating the sales order, you may create the delivery, shipment and invoice. All these documents can be seen from the sales order by clicking the "Document Flow" icon

Work Flow:

While creating the sales order you may want the user to restrict from giving more than 5% discount.If the user gives more than 5% discount, then a notification can be triggered to his manager. The manager can then review the sales order and approve the discount. This is called workflow.

Both document flow and workflow are different.

Hi Venky,

Workflow is nothing but to make the process automatic and remind the flow stage by stage.It is not like sales order flow and workflow are same.This can be implemented in module.It may used to remind stage wise,sending mails and for approval stage bt stage.
