SAP Business Workflow is a solution which has been integrated fully in the R/3 System and which enables customer-specific business process flows to be coordinated and controlled on a cross-application and cross-work center basis. SAP Business Workflow therefore enhances "ready-made" application software. The SAP Business Workflow definition environment can represent business processes simply and can respond to changing external conditions quickly, even in a live system, by adapting the existing business processes. </P><P></P><P>Workflow Scenarios</P><P></P><P>Many SAP applications use SAP Business Workflow enabling preconfigured workflow scenarios to be reused in various situations. The scenarios can either be implemented without any changes or configured for your business processes by making minor adjustments. These workflow scenarios reduce implementation time significantly and have been optimally configured for the respective application functions. </P><P></P><P>Many workflow scenarios are integrated in IDES (International Demonstration and Education System). It is possible to simulate the business processes of a model company in this fully-configured system.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:21:29 GMT

SAP workflow maps the position in organization because SAP believes that Positions are more stable than the people. </P><P></P><P>SAP Workflow is a process tool that is designed to facilitate and automate business processes involving the tasks sequence performed by the users (people in the workplace) and ensure that the right work is assigned in the right sequence at the right time to the right person in the workflow. The SAP workflow can be linked to other software tools such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes. Using SAP Workflow, each step of a business transaction can be easily monitored throughout the initiation and completion of the business processes. The SAP Workflow enables the process owners to track deadlines, determine the workload as well as provide statistics on the length of time to complete work processes. </P><P></P><P>The key components of the SAP Workflow include the Workflow Definition, Work Items, Events triggers and the Organizational Structure in the workplace. </P><P></P><P>Technically SAP Workflow is an integrated part of SAP application server. </P><P></P><P>Example 1</P><P>[[Approval procedure in Procurement. Some person creates a Purchase Order which must be approved by one or another (or even more than one) manager depending on the amount]] </P><P></P><P>Example 2</P><P>Suppose Person A is EDI administrator. It is defined that all EDI related jobs will be done by him. It is also defined that in his absence another person will do his job. If person A wants to take a planned leave and then he wants all his jobs assigned to him in his absence to be assigned to person B. He will nominate the person B in SAP and then SAP automatically assigns the job of A to B. </P><P></P><P>Practical Workflow for SAP</P><P><A href="http://www.sap-press.com/downloads/h950_preview.pdf" target="test_blank">http://www.sap-press.com/downloads/h950_preview.pdf</A></P><P></P><P>An expert guide to new SAP workflow capabilities</P><P><A href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c6456e89-0a01-0010-0189-a7961fe42034" target="test_blank">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c6456e89-0a01-0010-0189-a7961fe42034</A></P><P></P><P>Workflow </P><P><A href="http://iris.tennessee.edu/Blueprint/Workflow/Workflow.doc" target="test_blank">http://iris.tennessee.edu/Blueprint/Workflow/Workflow.doc</A></P><P></P><P>Workflow Scenarios </P><P><A href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/content.htm" target="test_blank">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/content.htm</A></P><P></P><P>SAP Business Workflow</P><P><A href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c5/e4a930453d11d189430000e829fbbd/content.htm" target="test_blank">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c5/e4a930453d11d189430000e829fbbd/content.htm</A></P><P></P><P>Home to SAP R3 Webflow - Workflow -&gt; </P><P><A href="http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/tips.htm" target="test_blank">http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/tips.htm</A></P><P></P><P>Why use SAP Workflow?</P><P><A href="http://www.insightcp.com/res_23.htm" target="test_blank">http://www.insightcp.com/res_23.htm</A></P><P></P><P>cheers!</P><P>gyanaraj</P><P></P><P>****Pls reward points if u find this helpful</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:22:04 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/workflows/m-p/3346913#M802576 Former Member 2008-02-01T13:22:04Z Re: workflows https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/workflows/m-p/3346914#M802577 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>hi</P><P>good</P><P></P><P>Purpose</P><P></P><P>With SAP Business Workflow, SAP AG provides an efficient cross-application tool enabling integrated electronic management of business processes. SAP Business Workflow is a solution which has been integrated fully in the R/3 System and which enables customer-specific business process flows to be coordinated and controlled on a cross-application and cross-work center basis. SAP Business Workflow therefore enhances "ready-made" application software. The SAP Business Workflow definition environment can represent business processes simply and can respond to changing external conditions quickly, even in a live system, by adapting the existing business processes. </P><P></P><P>Workflow Scenarios</P><P></P><P>Many SAP applications use SAP Business Workflow enabling preconfigured workflow scenarios to be reused in various situations. The scenarios can either be implemented without any changes or configured for your business processes by making minor adjustments. These workflow scenarios reduce implementation time significantly and have been optimally configured for the respective application functions. </P><P></P><P>Many workflow scenarios are integrated in IDES (International Demonstration and Education System). It is possible to simulate the business processes of a model company in this fully-configured system. </P><P></P><P><A href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm" target="test_blank">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm</A></P><P></P><P>thanks</P><P>mrutyun^</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:32:01 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/workflows/m-p/3346914#M802577 Former Member 2008-02-01T13:32:01Z
