IDOC processing from Workflow.

Question

Hi GURUs,
My scenario is as follows:
SAP is receiving an IDOC from XI. I'll have to receive IDOC in SAP using option - with ALE service and processing by task, as i'll have to send various emails using workflow task.
But how to process the received IDOC from workflow to affect sales order change?
I am thinking of using the function module - IDOC_INPUT_ORDCHG to make the sales order change. But the problem is how to process IDOC and calling the function module to  do the needful from workflow along with sending emails.
Thanks in advance,
Deep.

HI,
You can very well stay with the standard process code and your process code should point to a workflow. There are no standard workflow template available for ur scenario. Hence you`ll have to use a custom workflow template and you can very well use BUS2032 and ORDCHG for your application.
Now, in your workflow the flow of steps should be in the sequence by which you want the activities to flow. Every step should essentially bind a method of a bus. obj. If in your scenario, the changes in the sales order are to be carried out automatically use the BAPI else send mail to the corresponding agent and let him change the S.O. in VA02.
