initial step -

user logins to portal.

click a button.

a interactive form generated.

and submit.

Now from here main workflow starts--

step 1 - that form goes to some Manager for the approval/rejection.

step 2- if approved then goes to system administrator else send a mail to the user with some appropriate reason.

step 3 - if system administrator approved then he/she allocates the CELL number to that person and that number get stored in Infotype 105 of respective person.

else rejection reason get sent to the user .

This is not a simple question with a simple answer.

The portal form should create the event BUS7051.CREATED with a notification number. Your EP developer should be able to clue you in on this.

SAP event linkage (SWE2) needs to be set up linking the event with the workflow. A check function is needed for many workflow might key off a notification event.

Check Function QGN01_EVENT_NOTIF_CREATED_ISR can be used - it checks the scenario code from the portal against view V_SCENARIOXMPO. IF the scenario matches the workflow it returns 0 and the workflow starts.

Function ISR_PROCESS_EVENT and ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET retrieves data from the portal for the notification.

Other ISR_ functions may be helpful. This should be your first workflow step. This step should call a method for BUS7051 that calls the function. You can get a list of fields for the scenario using transaction QISRSCENARIO. I do not know how they get there.

The manager approval using a form will have a workflow task using object EXTSRV and method PROCESS. The standard task you create for this needs to be configured in the portal either in XML or using a transaction for this in SAP depending on your version of SAP.

The next step after the work item is completed is a standard task that executes BUS7051 method SETPARTNER.

Check to see if approved or rejected and continue with the necessary logic. I'm not if there is a function that updates 105 infotype. You may need to create a BCD and call it in a method for BUS7051.

One note - name your new methods good because several workflow from the portal use BUS7051. Don't use GET_DATA but maybe GET_DATA_FOR_CELL_REQUEST.

Good Luck.
