Difference between check function module and start condition

Hello Rob,
In  previous answer u said thr is no difference between check function module and startcondition but there is a difference between checkfunction module and start condition.
Before the workflow is triggering can u able to check the conditions in startcondition.The startcondition can check the condition only after the workflow has been triggered.
But in check function module u can check the condtion before the workflow got triggered.

Kjetil,
Dont' fall for it, these two (unless deephak and catherina are the same person...)  are just spamming the forum.

As you've correctly established, even the SAP documentation contradicts their nonsense. A start condition is implemented as a check function, so there is no difference; and NO workflow is started at any time if they fail.

  • Difference between BAPI Function Module and Remote Enable Function Module

    Dear Experts,
        I want to know the main difference between BAPI Function Module and Remote Enable Function Module ?
    One main difference that I know is BAPI FM are declared in Methods of Business Object  ie BAPI are methods of BOR where as Remote Enabled FM are not. What are other differences? Is it possible to convert a Remote Enable FM to BAPI FM .
    regards
    Manish

    Hello,
    Did u create any ZBAPI?
    The Procdure for Creating the Customer BAPI is Create a Remote Enabled Function module and then goto the tcode BAPI.
    Once u go in to that just take the Project tab and enter the details.
    by this way u can create a Customer BAPI.

  • Difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition b

    What is the difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition base value?

    Hi Nitin
    Alternative calculation type:
    Suppose my gross price (PB) is Rs.100 for some metal per kg and I want to calculate surcharge based on todays RBI index of commodity rather than simply giving some 2%. I want to account todays RBI index in determinig Condition value.
    It is possible to do that by little alteration of regular routine.
    Alternate Condition base value:
    I am procuring 5 different variety of pens at different quantities at varying rates from 0 to 25 in a sing le PO. And I get the total header value of 1000. I will get a discount of 10% if the PO value reaches 1000. I have to subsequently pass on the discount of Rs.100 now to all the 5 line items. In general SAP calculates it based on the values of each line item and proportionately distributes. However If i want this discount to be distributed according to the quantity of each pen. You can acheive this with little alteration of Routine.
    Hope this clarifies your doubt.
    If found helpful, Pls reward.

    Hi,
    SAP-HR is software component like SAP-BASIS is a component.
    Its part of the CORE.
    As far as I know there is nothing like SAP-ABAP-HR.

  • Difference between LV PDA module and touch-panel module

    What is the difference between LabView's PDA module and touch-panel module? I want to recompile my application developed on a Win XP environment for a touch-screen single board computer running Win CE. From what I have read, it seems like both PDA module and the touch-panel module would be able to do the task - but what is the difference between the two modules?

    sstolteq:
    The LabVIEW PDA Module allows you to create applications that run on Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC devices. It is also compatible with several NI data acquisitions devices, including the USB-6008, USB-6009, CF-6004,
    DAQCard-6062E, DAQCard-6024E, and the DAQCard-6036E.
    The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, on the other side, allows you to create human-machine interface (HMI) applications to
    communicate with NI embedded real-time platforms such as Compact
    FieldPoint, CompactRIO, and Compact Vision System. It is optimized for developing
    HMIs to Windows CE touch panel devices such as the NI TPC-2006.
    I hope this helps and please let me know if I can help further.

  • Whats the difference between 2x4GB RAM modules and 4x2GB Ram modules?

    I need 8GB of RAM. If I get 4x2GB modules it is a lot cheaper. Is there any difference in performance if I have 4x2GB Ram modules instead of 2x4GB RAM modules? They both provide 8GB? Am I missing something here?

    From MacSales.com:
    Four or More FB-DIMMs installed provides for best performance. FB DIMM technology takes advantage of multiple channel access. Apple recommends the use of 4 or more modules to take advantage of this 256-Bit Wide memory architecture. Modules must be installed in pairs, each module is 64 Bits Wide + 8 Bits for Error Correction (ECC).

  • Start conditions and check function modules

    Hi,
    When we apply start conditions to any particular even linkage you will find check function module as SWB_2_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL. However, what if i want to implement both a custom check function module AND start conditions ?
    My requirement is to implement both start conditions and check function module.
    Is this possible ?
    Thank you,
    Nikhil.

    Hi,
    You can use both of the things, however its advisable to check all start conditions if you are using check FM.
    This is interface for custom  check FM,once you have the key value, you can put all the checks here
    *"*"Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(OBJTYPE) TYPE  SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE
    *"     VALUE(OBJKEY) TYPE  SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY

  • Check function module

    hi friends
    what does the check function module and receiver function module do?
    what is the usage of these function module?
    Explain details
    Regards
    vijay

    Hi,
    Using check function module you can trigger the work flow under some conditions.
    For example you are using PO workflow. If plant 1000 means only you want to trigger the work flow means you can write the code in ordinary Function module and then you can make it as a check function module.
    Start condition and the check function module has the same functionlity.
    SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT is the Receiver function module, which is responsible for triggering the workflows (for all Workflows in SWE2). This will be assigned automatically when the linkage (SWE2) is created. This function module is common for all.

    Hi Satish,
    You know, the real power of forums like these is the search functionality. First you locate the correct forum, you succeeded in that and then you locate the search field and type in your question. In your case "check function module"
    I suggest you do this right away and be amazed at all of the answers about his topic. Maybe you'll even find some topic about exactly the same issue with a different solution than check function modules and on top of that you learn something this way. Talk about win-win situation

  • Check function module & start condition

    Dear friends
    Could any1 of u tel me th exact diff bet th both..
    In whic case u go for check FM and in whic case u ll go for start condition.
    regards
    sakthi

    Hi Sakthi,
    Basically both serve the same purpose that is perform some checks based on conditions which when satisfied trigger the workflow.
    However, a start condition is configured within the header of the workflow itself. Hence, the fields which we can use as part of the start condition are what are available in the workflow containers, mostly attributes of the business object being used.
    Whereas in a check function module, we can program very complicated calculations and validations, by using SELECT queries etc. which are not possible in start conditions.
    Hence basically, difference between them is the start condition is restricted in its use and can implement simple checks, whereas a check function module can be more complex.
    Cheers,
    Aditya

  • What is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function

    hi,
    what is the difference between the normal function module and bapi function module.

    Hi
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    Regards
    Anji
