Create event to start sap business workflow

Hi all,
I'd like to raise an event in java webdynpro which starts a business workflow.
The Workflow already exists, There is a ESS with java webdynpro, which uses floorplan manager.  When an employee enters some data in the ESS and clicks on the "Save" button,  an event should be raised by the appplication (to start a business workflow)
My problem is, that I don't know:
-How to raise that event in java webdynpro?
-Where to raise that event in java webdynpro?
I've already modified the view, and it works perfectly (If the user clicks on the "Save" button, the entered data transfered to the SAP system.)  The application is using the floorplan manager, and I can't find  the "Save" button, therefor, can't raise the event, when the user clicks on it

I've already found that description.  I set up the FPM in the portal. I registered a new event :
Event type = Save
EventID = "SAVE"
Description = "Save the infotype"
I have a Business Object, in the R/3 system  which has an event called ".ON_CHANGE_INFOTYPE" This event starts a workflow.
My question is:  How can I start this workflow??
The process should be something like this:
User clicks "Save" on the portal -> The FPM creates the "SAVE" event -> the SAVE event invokes the ONCHANGE_INFOTYPE_  ->  the ON_CHANGE_INFOTYPE starts the workflow.
So what should I do?  Create the event in the embended view and catch in in the onSAVE method?  How can I start the workflow int he R3 system from the java webdynpro portal?

  • How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
    Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
    I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
    We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
    In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
    Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
    Now here i have couple of Questions.
    1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
    2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL  i can manage the show
    3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
    Please help me out.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
    1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
    2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
    3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
    Hope this helps.

  • SAP Business Workflow Prerequisites

    HI SAP Gurus,
    I'm new to SAP Business Workflow. We have SAP ECC 6.0. But we are yet to implement BI & Business Objects. In this situation, can we create SAP Business Workflow without BI & BO.
    Also, my immediate requirement is to create a work flow for approval SAP Authorization objects. For example, if an user needs authorization for viewing Material Master, he/she has to apply thro' this work flow for authorization of MM03. And the same needs to be approved by his/her superior. Then it has to come to IT, so that IT Basis team can act on that.
    Please advise how to proceed in this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Vijaya Krishna

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Thanks for your kind response.
    To clarify my requirement, the users will logon in SAP (not Portal) and request for authorizations thro' work flow. Once their managers approve the same, it will come to IT. IT will create roles in DEV and test it QA and transport to Production manually.
    The request created will be used as archives and will be presented to the auditors during System Audit.
    With regards,
    Vijaya Krishna

  • SAP Business Workflow / Organizational Plan

    Hi,
    This is not specific to SRM, but is specific to SAP Business Workflow within ECC, relating to Organizational Management:
    We have more than one instance of SAP, where one instance is used to run all of our business, except SAP HR (let's call this SAP Instance 1), and another instance that is only used for SAP HR (let's call this SAP Instance 2);
    We want to implement SAP business workflow (e.g. approving requisitions through workflow in ECC);
    Is it possible to use our SAP organizational plan that is already defined in our SAP HR instance of SAP (SAP Instance 2), instead of defining an SAP Organizational plan in SAP Instance 1 only to support SAP business workflow. 
    Is it possible to define an interface from SAP Instance 1 to 2, to look up the requisition approver, pass it back to instance 2, and then send the workflow to the appropriate person.  Or is there another better approach?  e.g. Replicate organizational plan that exists in instance 2 in instance 1? 
    From what I have briefly read online thus far, I understand that "The organizational plan is part of the PD component "Organization and Planning. The organizational plan is maintained on a client-dependent basis. An organizational plan which was created for personnel management purposes (or is to be created) can be used in SAP Business Workflow without any changes, provided the workflow functionality and the personnel management application run in the same client."  To me, this sounds like that the workflow functionality and organizational plan must exist in the same system and client.
    Any thoughts, suggestions, or any advice to share?
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    It depends on how you will get approver from system.
    If it is not from organization plan, organization plan is not required.
    You can also call remote FM to get approver from other systems.

  • Can SOA replace SAP Business Workflow?

    I finished BIT600 and covered the practicals on 300 pages of the 500 pages of BIT601. Now I hear that the company I work for will replace workflow with SOA? I not that informed on SOA, but would it be possible for this to replace SAP Business Workflow? It doesn't make sense.
    SAP Business Workflow is fully integrated to SAP Business Processes with events/triggers through Business Objects and classes. It manages business processes and error handling. Also, it has the background jobs set up to monitor deadlines. From what I gather SOA is middleware? How is it supposed to replace Workflow?
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    I agree with you.
    SOA is a Service Oriente Architecture... a set of principles and methodologies for designing and developing software in the form of interoperable services. BPM is a SAP component that helps you model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model.
    These are 2 concepts completely different each other in my opinion... it doesn't have any sense.

  • 601 SAP Business Workflow

    Hello,
    I am working in ABAP for last 6-7 years. Due to project need planinng to take BIT 601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use class.
    Please suggest if this class is good to get started in SAP workflow. Pre-requisite for this class is BIT 600. I am not taking that class. Can I do self study and pick it up?
    Please suggest how I can get ready for workflow.
    Thanks,

    If you have a general knowledge about workflow the BIT601 is a good place to start. You can also take a look at the workflow FAQ available here on SDN (check the sticky thread at the top of the forum). This should give you a general idea.

    Hi,
    Org structure needs to be setup by HR, but you can set up org structure yourself. Its not a big deal. 601 will go thorough this process. Also you can have workflows without org structure.
    Go through this link
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b074ac-fa1b-2a10-1587-bd084347fc56
    On help.sap.com, there is a demo for an absence request workflow. If you go through them, it should give you an idea of all the basic tcodes including the creation of a HR org structure, workflow build etc.

    Hi AD1981,
    Standard solution would be using distributed Organisational Management. There is custom ALE for this (check tcode SALE: Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Human Resources -> Master Data Distribution -> Set Up Distributed Organizational Management). Basically you would maintain organsation in HR system and distribute changes to other instance using ALE. Workflow would rely on the distributed org. structure.

  • Calling JAVA webdynpro applications from SAP Business workflow

    Experts,
    Is it possible to call JAVA webdynpro application as a task from SAP Business workflow? If yes, please pass on any links to relevant documents.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    Hello,
    You would probably want to use UWL in the portal. From UWL you can launch tasks from portal, and with proper configuration (for example with the help of transaction SWFVISU) you can easily start web dynpro applications from UWL.
    I suggest you go trough the SAP documentation about UWL. Start for example here:

  • Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

    Hello guys,
    Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
    Are there others workflows types in SAP?
    In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
    Thanks a lot!
    Kleber

    Hello Kleber,
    There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business  workflows..
    Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
    To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

  • Difference SAP Business Workflow and ccBPM

    Hi,
    well both mentioned are for connecting Applications. In my point of view there is only a difference in...

    connects Applications via Tasks across SAP-Systems
    ccBPM:
    with help of PI it should connect Applications via Adapter and is only message-driven!
    am I right?!

  • SAP Business Workflow in a multiple ERP environment

    Hi,
    Our organization is looking to implement Peoplesoft for HR and SAP ERP for other business processes. Business users would ues UWL for their approval tasks. The SAP Business workflow or SAP NW BPM would be the tool for the approval process. Question: is there best practice for this scenario? I.e. the business process is designed and implemented via SAP ERP or SAP NW BPM and the HR maintains the organizational structure in Peoplesoft (or a non-SAP ERP) environment.
    To my knowledge, the following options are available for SAP Business Workflow for agent determination (approval process):
    1. Implement a realtime design (e.g. RFC) to connect to the non-SAP ERP: the non-SAP ERP would implement agent determination rules that can be called by SAP, since the Org. structure is maintained in that environment
    2. Share the Org. structure and HR data with SAP: not preferred option, I guess, due to sync problems (not realtime)
    Your input is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    I would consider carefully that do you even need the HR structure in ERP for your non-HR business processes? What kind of workflow processes will you have in ERP that require HR structure?`Aren't your HR processes in Peoplesoft system, and you are running the HR processes there? You don't necessarily even need the HR structure in SAP. Maybe you can build your own approval "paths" with some other way. Invoices can be approved by WBS responsible users (not organizational managers), etc. Or maybe you can build your own simple approval organization in HR, etc.
    Also pay attention to the fact that the approvers in workflow will eventually be the users - not employees. So if you have org.structure in Peoplesoft, you should also map the SAP users to this organization/employees. I mean that if you can do some kind of RFC or web service call to Peoplesoft system to find the approvers, you should pay attention that the SAP user ID is found.
    Think really carefully what you will do. Maybe sharing the HR data with SAP is not that bad idea either (I have no idea how difficult this is between SAP and Peoplesoft). I don't see that org.structure is something that must be "real-time". It is just fine if it is updated for example once in a way - IF it is used only by workflow for determining approvers.
    Just think carefully before you do something unnecessarily complex.
    Kind regards,
    Karri
