Work flow in Release Procedure

Hi all,
What are the steps involved to configur Work flow for the Release of Purchase
orders?
Yoga

Hi Yoga,
Work flow can be configured for release procedure through userexit M06B0001.
U need to assign the user id to the respective Release codes. Once this has been done, then u will get a mail in Business workplace inbox upon creation of PR/PO. If u double click the work flow item it will take u to ME54n transaction for approval. We have to take Basis team help to define authorisation for Each user. Since the User has to approve only for his relevant role.
Hope this helps a bit.
Reward if u find this useful.

Difrence between work flow n release startegy

hii frnds
can anybody tell me wats the difrence between work flow n release startegy ..
thnks
rohit

Workflow could be generic and can be configured for any process you want.
When you want to control the releases of the documents depending on the parameters that you want to configure, you use the release strategies. While configuring release strategies, you can develop some workflows.
Release strategies is more of a functional concept and workflow is the technical implementation.

Lock and release procedure of sales order - Based on Value

Hello Gurus,
I am having the following requirement in SD, let me explain with one example.
If users creating Sales orders with value less than Rs.1000/- means, System should not allow to proceed further to save the
sales orders (need the same to specific Sales areas).
I tried with condition type "AMIW" / User exits where we can able to block/lock the further process but in general we may need to proceed further even if its below the value(Rs.1000/) considering the genuine and regular order from customer.
Pls suggest your ideas to achieve the Lock and release procedure based on Sales Order Value.

Thread Locked - Reason Duplicate Post

Hi,
Instead to going for user exits, you can control this by
1. Field VBAK-NETWR (Net Value) as a part of incompletion procedure.
2. In VUA2 check u201CIC boxu201D
3. Create a Customer discount condition ZDIS with scales. In V/06 maintain scale basis as B=value, Check value B= Ascending and Scale type as B= to scale. Calculate it on the Price condition
4 .In VK11 Maintain record as -100% up to say Value INR1000/-
You can fine tune according to your requirement by adding tables with relevant fields.
The idea is simple. As long as the PR00 condition value is below INR1000/- discount condition type ZDIS will calculate discount as 100% and Document net value will become Zero.
If the document value is Zero Incompletion log will not allow saving the document.
You can maintain records for ZDIS as per your requirement (for genuine customers). Or you can close the condition record by changing the validity when it is not necessary for other customers.
Hope this helps.

Sharan

Hi,
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.

Work Flow and Oracle Apps

Do my developer need to use the APPS account for maintaining and building work flows? Or can they use another account with the correct privleges?
Thanks

Hi, workflow definitions can be done using wft files (that is: not working directly on the database, but on independent files). A suggested way of working with Applications workflows is to have an administrator save the definitions to a filesystem file, then work on them, and only after the work is finished upload them to the database. Working this way, you don't have to give apps account access to developers.
I hope it helps.
