CRM Workflow and ERP Workflow integration

Hi,
I need to get workflow to work across several modules. One example is that I have some actions that needs to be completed in CRM, and when that has finished I need to trigger a workflow in ERP to continue the processing. How can I send information from the CRM workflow to the ERP workflow, and status message back to CRM? I have been looking at Wf-XML options, but that seems to be across http communication only.. these systems can be on the same server. Can anyone give me some tips on how this can be done? Help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Thomas

Hello,
My suggestion is to trigger the events with a RFC of a Function module.
Program the Function module in the ERP system and enable it as RCF function. In this module program the trigger for the prefered object.
In the CRM workflow call a background method of the corresponding object which triggers the Function Module in the ERP system.
Another solution could be that the action which was taken in CRM leads to a replication in the ERP which already triggers a standard event.
Hopefully above guides you to a solution.
Kind regards,
Peter

  • Workflow and MS Exchange Integration

    Hi All!
    This is very urgent!
    Could anyone tell me if there is such a thing as <b>integration between MS Exchange and SAP Business Workflow</b>?
    I know that there exists an integration between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes/Outlook.  Is it also possible for MS Exchange?
    If this is possible, please tell me how to make this thing work.
    If possible, please send me files or links for this.
    This is my email ad: [email protected]

    Hi Kjetil!
    I was surprised when Aditya replied that the RSWUWFML2 report cannot be used for Lotus Notes email client. (--,)
    Could you share notes or resource about <b>Extended Notifications</b>?  We are using ECC6.
    About the kind of integration, the supposed scenario is to have a two-way communication between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes where a workitem recieved in the Lotus Notes can be <b>executed</b> and can perform the approval steps by just using the email link.
    However, there is this chance that the client will only have a 1-way communication between SAP worlkflow and Lotus Notes where the sent message only contains the information of the workitem which would tell the recipient that there are workitems present in his/her inbox and needs to be executed through <b>SAPinbox</b>.
    Regardless of the decision of the client, are these 2-way and 1-way communication scenario possible using Lotus Notes?
    Thank you very much!

  • Adobe livecycle workflow and SAP workflow

    dear all,
                  i am working in a new development project which is yet to be started.according to my client's description,the project deals with adobe forms with SAP as backend.
                  i have studied and worked for one month on adobe livecycle forms and i have some knowledge about its  products.but i didnt work on any SAP system.my doubt is that
          "WE HAVE ADOBE LIVECYCLE WORKFLOW IN THE WHOLE SUITE OF LIVECYCLE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,WHICH CAN BE USEFUL TO BUILD WORKFLOWS AND IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES WITH THE HELP OF BAM.BUT WHEN ADOBE FORMS AND ADOBE FORMS MANAGER ARE INTEGRATED IN SAP..WILL THE ADOBE WORKFLOW BE PRESENT AGAIN?OR IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAP WORKFLOW WHICH DEFINES THE BUSINESS PROCESSES AND INITIATES THE PROCESSES?? ALSO IF IT IS SAP WORKFLOW THEN WHAT IS THE NEED OF INTEGRATING ADOBE WITH SAP WITHOUT ADOBE LIVECYLE WORKFLOW.??
            i am looking forward for any answers from ppl.plzz help me out from this doubt.
                          regards..

    Hi Raghava,
    correct, there are currently no plans to integrate Forms Manager into SAP although we have no alternative solution within SAP, i.e. you'd have to build something like Forms Manager for your purposes.
    To get a general overview on the SAP integration, start here: <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms</a>
    You need NetWeaver, because the Adobe functions are part of it. Web Dynpro is one of the environments that have Adobe forms functions integrated, it is the most suitable one for interactive scenarios.
    We may have a different idea of what SAP is. To me, SAP comprises the business data in the ERP/CRM/etc. system and the technology components such as NetWeaver etc. Perhaps that's the misunderstanding.
    Best,
    Markus

  • SAP Business Workflow and The Workflow Reference Model

    Hi Experts,
    I try to map the Business Workflow with the Workflow Reference Model of WfMC.
    Interface 3 represents the communication of SAP's Workflow Engine with "Invoked (external) Applications".
    My Questions are:
    - which applications, tools can be invoked (Webservices, Group Ware Products)
    - and which component realizes Interface 3?
      (can I say that interface 3 is realized with different steps like web-activity,
    or the normal activity-step (WebFlow Service Handler) ? )
    Or is there a certain technology that is representative for realization of interface 3 ?  e.g. WfXML or SOAP?
    Thanks in advance

  • BPEL workflow and ECM Workflow

    Hi,
    I am wondering about a way to integrate BPEL workflow with ECM Workflow!!
    Regards,
    BISO

    It is possible.
    At the oracle open world, there was a presentation about it.
    At that presentation they used a component where you could define a BPEL process and by one little line of code,you could call that proccess from within a stellent workflow.
    I don't know if that component will be released or where you can download it. If you wish, i could send you an e-mail with the component and the doc so you could try it out

  • Workflow and WD integration

    Hi,
    We are implementing Workflow and Webdynpro ABAP integration.Employee submits competences from portal, this triggers an approval task to the manager .Manager will approve the task from worklist and when he clicks on task, Web dynpro application opens up where he has to approve or reject accordingly.
    We have approve and reject buttons in Web dynpro and we have used User Decision Step type in Workflow to open the Web dynpro application.User decision step decisions are mapped to Web Dynpro approve/reject actions.
    So we are able to successfully launch the Web dynpro and perform the actions.But problem is the rest of Wrokflow after User Decision step is not getting executed. Workflow is getting stopped at this point.
    We have tried using FM's SAPI_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
    Both these FM.s complete the User Decision step but does not execute rest of Workflow.
    Please help me if you have come across this scenario.

    Hello Archana !
             After user decision step, you have maintained the step that updates database as immediate step.
             Have you tested this step separately ? If it have yielded successful results, check the binding for the immediate step after user decision.
             Also, check the workflow log whether the containers for the step that updates the database are populated with required values.
             Is the method that updates the database is custom method ?

  • SAP Workflow and GRC 10.1 Workflow

    Hi all,
        We are in the midst of upgrading our GRC system up to 10.1 and some questions are coming up about the workflows.  In short are GRC workflows and SAP workflows the "same thing", i.e. if someone outside of the upgrade project were to learn how to create/maintain workflows within GRC 10.1 would they be able to turn around and run the same transactions within an ECC 6.0 environment and create SAP Business workflows?  From what I have seen so far in my searching is that, they have the same basic principle but very different implementation/maintenance.
    Any documentation that you are aware of from SAP showing this would be helpful as well.
    Thanks

    The basic mechanism is the same, but the GRC workflows are more fixed (they leave less room for the workflow to be changed) have build in screens, and relay on the BRF engine to determine approvers etc.
    Workflows in the ECC give you a lot more room for implanting the workflow however you wish (use a decision task, asynchronous tasks, develop your own custom approval screen etc.) and some time required you to implement changes to the workflow object (set a user status, release a document etc.) and don't usually use the BRF.
    So I would have to say that the answer is no, someone who learned how to implement the GRC workflows will not be able to turn around and immediately create workflows in the ECC.  

  • CRM Best Practices V1.2007 with ERP HR Integration, C01 and C05

    Hi,
    working on Best Practices CRM V.1.2007 I  now should proceed with Building Block C01 (CRM Organizational Model).
    I want to use the CRM System integrated with a new installed ERP System and HR Integration.
    Therefore I have to use the Building Block C05 (CRM Organizational Model with HR Integration) instead of C01 (CRM Orgnizational Model)
    My Question: Is it allowed to proceed with C05 by doing the work direct from the SAP GUI Menu; afterwards I could confirm the steps in the Solution Builder for C01?
    Regards, Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    Yes, you could do that. But be aware that the other building blocks for master and transaction data replication should not be started unless you are done with the org model BB C01.

  • 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..

  • Information about Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow

    Hi Experts,

    • Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow
    Link, documents and books are welcome!
    Thanks
    mishak

    If you have worked on workflows earlier the procedure is very simple. You just need to enter certain parameter values of your application in SWFVISU for the respective task and re-register your system in UWL administration. Thats it! your webdynpro and workflows are integrated. For details on the parameters check the following link,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/bff5c18ba44da4a4ca68cf572dabda/frameset.htm
    There are also a couple of blogs on "launching webdynpro from UWL" (Procedure for both Java and webdynpro is almost similar). You can also check these for more details.

  • Workflow and Files Integration

    Hello all,
    I have sucessfully configured my files domain, run through the steps for integration with workflow and files. All seems to be ok except there are no review processes showing up within files.
    I know in release 1 the demo workflows were loaded and tied into files.
    Anyone know how to get these into the files screens so I can demo the workflow portion of files?

  • Difference between Workflow and Integration Process

    Hi Experts,
    Can someone please explain, what is the difference between the workflow and integration process(BPM).
    Thanks
    Sree

    Hi Sree,
    Integration Processes are :-
    --Message based
    --Interface focused
    --Cross component
    --Have no support for human interaction
    --Enabled with SAP XI
    Workflows are:-
    --Object based
    --Human focused
    --Intra-application
    --Have no support for mapping, routing or message transformations
    --Enabled with the SAP Web AS
    However, most automated business processes involve a combination of the two.
    I hope this clear your doubt.
