Hii..
Work Flow- SAP Business Workflow
Purpose
SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
Integration
SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.
DATAFLOW-Data flow means flow of data from one module to another within a sap system.

    Hi Srinivas,
    Workflows can be used in SAP HR in almost all places and it depends upon client requirement.
    It can be used in the following:
    1. Leave Management
    2. Time Management
    3. Claims
    4. Travel
    5. PA30
    Workflows are nothing but  triggering the application to the level of approvers mapped in the system. It depends from each client and requirement, process, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it Possible to Delete a Work Flow in SAP

    Is it Possible to Delete a Work Flow  in SAP

    If you mean a work flow item (and not the template which you already got the solution to), then the best thing to do is logically delete it, also known as cancelling. You can do that from the work item view if you have sufficient authorization.
    Go to the technical view.
    Switch to edit mode.
    Observe the buttons that suddenly became available.
    If you don't see any buttons for "delete logically" (can't recall the exact text) you don't have sufficient authorization.

  • Item line data not flowing into SAP Adobe form layout

    Hello Gurus,
    I am currently working on adobe form layout for a sales document in SAP, i have created a master page
    as well as a couple of pages in the design view. Data at the header level are working properly, but the item data
    are not flowing into the layout, as nothing appears in the print preview for the item level of the sales document.
    I have done all the necessary binding with all the right field names, my subform to the best of my knowledge seems to be well
    defined, but yet to no avail.
      I would like to know what yet could be the reason for this issue and how i can go about fixing it.
    Thank you.
    Ahm.

    Hi Vijai,
    In our project, we have the same requirement but I am one step behind than you. I am able to generate the PDF form but not able to generate the data. Means all the fields are coming as disabled fields.
    Can you please send your code as a sample code so that I can have a look at that and check where I am doing wrong/missing. My id is sandeep.kamdar in gmail

  • What is the Data flow in SAP-BPC NW

    Hi All,
    Could any body explain me how the data is flowing in SAP-BPC NW.
    and what are the steps for Planning
    and what are the steps for Consolidation
    Regards,
    Setty

    Hi,
    1) Attributes describe master data like a customer. The country where the customer resides, the industry etc. describe and classify the customer. Attributes are not just the structure/metadata of the characteristics. They are also the content. The following table should visualize what i mean:
    customer-no. | name
    112 | mcpherson inc.
    113 | donalds inc.
    2) I think, you are asking about the laods from infopackage. We dont have types of infopackage. But we have one thing called Infopackage group, You can create the IPG with the selction of all infopackages in RSA1-Modelling Area to automate those loads automatically. That means it will trigger only those IP's which have been pooled up in that IGP...
    Basically there are three types of loads in Infopackage
    Full Upload: This will bring all the records in the BW irrespective of how many times you load.
    Init Delta: In this you have 2 options: a) Init with data transfer and b) Init without data transfer. Init without data transfer will just setup your delta and when you do the delta load it will bring all the records. Init with data transfer is similar to the full upload. This brings all the records for the first time and will also setup the delta process. Once the Init is done; you have to do delta for all the subsequent loads.
    Delta: This will bring only the changed / modified / added / deleted records from the source to BW.
    Hope it helps..

            Hr Buddy

    There <b>"IS"</b> a central place where workflows can be accessed in SAP...which i eventually foundout...it is thru <b>Tcode SWDM - Business Workflow Explorer</b>
    There we need to check for component that we are looking workflows for....
    for example :
    EP-PCT-MGR-HR - Business Package for Manager Self-Service (HR)
    PA-ES - Employee Self-Service
    PT-EV -Time Evaluation
    And ofcourse Bus.Pack Documentation is always useful.

  • Enabling Wrap-Up Data in Cisco Desktop Work Flow Administrator

    Hello! I am running Cisco UCCX v7.0 and am trying to enable wrap-up data on my calls.
    In the screenshot below, I am working with the Lending Work Flow Group and have added several Available Wrap-up Data reasons to the Work Flow Wrap-up Data reasons. I have also checked the boxes to Enable Wrap-up Data and to Enable Automatic State Change. I then clicked the Apply button and then manually synchronized the directory services from the Cisco Desktop Administrator webpage. Finally, I had the Agent login/logout of the CAD.
    But when testing, the Agent was not prompted with a Wrap-up Data window. Is there a step I missed? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Do you mean the Cisco Desktop Enterprise Service under System->Control Center? No, I have not restarted that service. 
    What is the business impact of doing so? Will it logout and/or disconnect agents that are logged into the CAD and on calls? Should it be done after business hours in a maintenance window? 

  • Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

    Hello,
    We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
    Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
    Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
    Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
    If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
    For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
    Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
    So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
    Any Pre Setting I have to do?
    With regards,
    SPK

    Hi SP,
    I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
    Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
    If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
    If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
    Hope it helps.

  • Work Flow Management in SAP EHS

    Dear Friends
    Are there general requirements of work flow management in SAP EHS. Actually, i dont have much idea on this. Please guide me.
    As far as my understanding goes, i know one process where EHS manager/officer can give approval for work permit in PM. Here we might need work flow management.
    Are there such cases/scenarios where we need work flow management in EHS. Please let me know.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Work flow managment shall be considered part of Product life cycle Management, the important steps are are: Design, sales & production and service: which may be disaggregated into Product idea, start of production, end of production and discontinuation of product.
    In the work flow management, phases involved are product design phase, production phase, sales & transportation, service phase. Each phase has its importance starting from design to reduce waste generation to disposal mode of waste generates from the disappearence of the product.
    I hope the above info is useful to good extent and to ahead further.

  • Standard SAP work flow in Quality Notification (TASKS)

    Hello Experts
    we are using ECC 6. I am testing standard SAP workflow in quality notification (QN).
    I have done following:
    1. craeted QN with type F2 and assigned defects and tasks. In tasks,under column TASK PROCESSOR I selected user responsible.I also assigned my SAP  user id  under RESPONSIBLE column to receive SAP email when task is released.
    2.realeased tasks and QN, saved QN.
    3. in TX SBWP , see SAP email under Outbox->Started workflow area with status "READY"
    My expectation is that I should be getting email in my SAP INBOX or in workflow to confirm that email is sent to appropriate user.
    Seems that currently it is in-transit stage and not sent.
    Do let me know what I am missing, any configuration required.
    Thanks
