Need for Worklow in SAP

What can be achieved through Workflows in SAP? I mean Forms are used for generating invoices, debit and credit notes and proforma for agreements and other similar business applications, Why need of workflow then, when we have Dialog programs, Interactive reports, Data Transfer Techniques like LSMW, BDC?

HI,
Might a very big explantion is required to say in detail, but let me say you briefly.
1. When ever you want to automate the process in your organization then you can make use of the workflows.By using workflows you can actulayysend the work of the respective person to his inbox. Work can be any thin like creating a PO, or a Sales order, or approving a employee request. or creating a travle request and sending it for manager approval etc.
2. You can track the status of your request instantly.
3. If your request is not handled in time you can escalate it to other person or initiae a other process.
4. You cannot compare a Module pool programming or LSMW with a very powerful SAP workflows.
5. You can integrate the workflow what evr you mentioned like in your module pool programming by calling or starting a workflow when a end user click on abutton...
6. You can make use of the same BDC recording in your workflow too.
7. A workflow in simple replicating your business process in SAP, which will actually take care from teh point of initiation to till the end of the business process.
Finally workflow is make your work flow with out any obstacles..

  • What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hello,
    What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hi,
    you need to setup a BOBJ server (eg. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 or BO Edge 3.1) and then install the BusinessObjects integration Kit for SAP on the same machine your BOBJ server runs.
    In order to build reports you can either use Crystal Reports (eg Install Crystal Report Designer 2008 V1 if you have an XI 3.1 server installed), WebIntelligence (Install the Business Objects XI 3.1 Client Tools in order to be able to build universes), BusinessObjects Voyager or XCelsius. Please note that you have to always install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP (should be the same version as your server and client installation) on your clients AFTER you installed one or more of the above client tools.
    Please take again a look at the following link for more detailed information (from Ingo) on this:

  • What User authorization objects needed for connecting to SAP from xMII?

    We eneter a SAP user and password for connecting to SAP from xMII to retrieve the metadata of the incoming IDocs.
    When I specify a user with SAP_ALL user profiles, the IDocs are received properly in xMII. If I specify a user with privileges to run only certain transactions, IDocs are not received in xMII.
    What user authorization objects are needed for this user to connect to SAP from xMII?
    Thanks,
    Sara

    I turned on the SAP System trace for this user and figured out the following auth. objects are required for receiving IDocs in xMII:
    C_TCLA_BKA
    S_RFC
    S_CTS_ADMI
    B_ALE_MAST
    S_IDOCDEFT
    The following auth. object is required for making JCO call to SAP from xMII:

    Hi Olivier
    To be specific, we have an application(.Net) which uses SAP as backend and retrieves the data from SAP using RFC and BAPI's. Well everything works fine with SAP R/3(where using the connection string and SAPConnector we could establish connection and call the RFC/BAPI).
    When it comes to SAP ECC we have no idea about the connection string or how to connect using SAPConnector. I knew that ECC uses a secured connection so i want to know how to connect to SAP ECC using .Net Connnector.
    For the SSL could you tell me how exactly can we apply that to the above described situation?
    thanks

  • Need to know ,how SAP is Posting wrong Enrtry at the Table level for Same .

    Hello SAP Experts ,
    Good Morning Gems!!!
    I have a Typical Issue here , SAP Is Posting In wrong tables
    .  Production  is currently processed everything that it should process.  This works as designed.
                PO = 7800507594 (From Plant  5400 to Plant  5409 - only NL, no intercompany)
                Dlvry  = 81243277 (Has PGI but no Invoice, as it is the same company code!!!
    The issue is that for some reason, SAP has put an entry into table VKDFS by mistake.  This table is used by SAP to determine the list in VF04.  This is why VF04 thinks it should create an invoice, but it should not.  so we are getting  error message that the Invoice cannot be created , which is valid, and a good thing.
    Do we have  OSS for 2 things:
                1) A note that mentions why it is determining the wrong CoCode or Sales Area which leads to the entry into this table
                            This is to stop it from adding entries incorrectly.
                2) A note that mentions how to fix the existing entries in this table that should not be there?

    Dear Friend,
    I guess you item category in Delivery Document would be NLN.
    Go to VOV7 & under Business Data there is a  check box for Billing Relevance. This box should be blank. I mean if there is any entry in this box (either A or J) then remove it & make it blank.
    Hope this helps...

  • Need Consignment report in SAP

    Hello all MM Gurus,
    Is there any report in SAP that shows the total consignment stock arrival and consignment stock consumption in a given plant. The report should show the consignment stock arrival/consumption, value of the stock, material number, etcetc.
    Please let me know. I have suggested my user that we can use MB51 or MB54. But I am afraid, my user would get confused if he/she uses these transactions. Hence, I need a report in SAP that is particularly made for consignment stock.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    I recommend the PCA standard drill-down or interactive reports accessible via the follwoing menu path:
    Accounting --> Enterprise Controlling --> PCA --> Infosystem --> Reports for PCA
    There are several reports which allow entering profitcenter groups or profitcenters.
    Long Text is not possible. Makes also no sense to report on Long Text.

  • How to search for a standard sap error message

    Hi all,
        I want to know where exactly we need to search for a standard sap error message ( For example like STACK_NO_ROLL_MEMORY).

       Could you please help on the same ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Shravan,
    Normally system throws up an error when it reaches the threshold point. Normally the threshold / critical points are arrived at by considering the SAP recommended values and what is the sytem configuration you have got.
    In true project scenario because of budget constraints we might not be able to have ideal system configuration which SAP recommends , in that case we have to tune to the system perform at an optimum level considering various aspects
    In yr case memory parameters should have been set at level , but for yr job it needed more memory which it could not allocate and throwed an error.
    hope i have answered yr question .
