Hi Hari,

You should use event linkage for triggering the workflow (just like R/3).

Please check start condition in SWB_PROCUREMENT.

Do you get any error massage when you create a shopping cart ?

R/3 and SRM both use SAP Busness Workflow which is Basis layer functions. Workflow is triggered by events of Business Object. Application side calls FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE.

Hi Hari,

The workflows I used in SRM were all started by an event, so I don't know how you could think it doesn't work like this. Do you have any specific problem?

Hi martin,

yes i accept that in SRM also workflows are all started by event...what i mean is in R/3 we go for Change document object(swec) or some other method for event creation...like that in SRM what is there?Just whenwe create a Shopping cart How the workflow is trigerred...suppose if it is trigerred using fm swe_event_create where they might have called the function module.

Thanks&Regards,

Hi Hari,

I always prefer to use an event whenever I can. These are usually the most transparent. In SRM when a Shopping Cart is created an event is triggered. So for SC's you can use events. As I understood SAP uses the FM swe_event_create somewhere to raise the event, but Where exactly I don't know, and up to now I didn't really care where they did it.

hi,

FM used to start Workflow are

BBP_PDH_WFL_RESTART ---> for restart of workflow

BBP_PDH_WFL_START ---> to start workflow --> this in turn will call below FM

BBP_PDH_WFL_START_NOW

Hello Hari,

Workflow is triggered via business object event. I think it is the METHOD cl_swf_evt_event=>get_instance, METHOD l_event->raise .

Please set a break point and check the call stack.

CALL METHOD l_event->raise .

CALL METHOD cl_swf_evt_event=>get_instance

CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
