Hi

Can any body explains diffreance bewteen BRF+ WF template (used in MDGS/C)  and Rule Based WF Template (Used for MDGM)?

And do we need to maintain both GET_AGET decesion table from BRF+ as well as User decesion table from rule based workflow?

Can you provide screenshots of which ones you mean? There is only one workflow template that is called rule-based workflow or BRF+ workflow. That is WS60800086.

There is another specific BRF+ application used for supplier workflow. The supplier workflow template itself is not dynamic. Only the agent assignment is.

In general, BRF+ is a generic tool that can be used for many purposes. MDG uses 3 specific BRF+ applications:

• Rule-based workflow (dynamic workflow template WS60800086)
• Agent assignment of supplier-specific workflow templates: WS54300005, WS54300007, etc. (see this link).
• Validation & derivation rules

The first workflow template could be used for any CR type. It is very dynamic and provides a lot of flexibility.

See this document for how you can configure the rule-based workflow BRF+ application.

Hi Abdullah

Do  you mean WS60800086 (Rule based) is child product of BRF+ but specefic to MDG?

Is it is necessary to maintain agets in both decesion tables ( GET_TABLE for WS54300005,and USER Desion table for WS60800086) for MDGS even if we assigned WF template WS54300005 to CR type? As it seems that WS54300005 uses Stadard task 60800086 - Get agent filter.

Can WS60800086 is capable of splitting workitems in parallel (One for Purchasing Data and other for Finace Data) or this feature is provided only in WS54300005?  If Yes for WS60800086 is any document how to carry said develoment?

• "Do  you mean WS60800086 (Rule based) is child product of BRF+ but specefic to MDG?" - Workflow and BRF+ are two different tools. WS60800086 combines both together for MDG only. So, in a  sense, the answer to your question is yes.
• "Is it is necessary to maintain agets in both decesion tables ( GET_TABLE for WS54300005,and USER Desion table for WS60800086) for MDGS even if we assigned WF template WS54300005 to CR type? As it seems that WS54300005 uses Stadard task 60800086 - Get agent filter" - No, only one of them should be maintained for a single CR type. However, you can use one for one CR type and the other for another CR type.
• "Can WS60800086 is capable of splitting workitems in parallel (One for Purchasing Data and other for Finace Data) or this feature is provided only in WS54300005?  If Yes for WS60800086 is any document how to carry said develoment?" - Yes, WS60800086 can do parallel processing. However, you will need to implement a BAdI for that to work. See this document:
