Enterprise Portal & Workflow

Question

hi all,
there's a requirement for me in which the user(MSS) would click submit on the Portal Screen, from where the User's Organisational Unit Chief would get a mail asking for approval(say for a new Org Unit or something).
on his approval, the concerned finance employee has to be intimated and so on.
now my question is,
how does the portal trigger the workflow in the background, if it is to be a manual trigger through FM SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT, what would be the business object type parameter(OBJTYPE)?
any help would be highly appreciated.
