Restricting workflow

[Former Member]

Hi!

I implemented a simple workflow that will send an email when a material is changed in MM02. However, there is an additional requirement such that the workflow should only be triggered for a certain material group MARA-MATKL.

Is there a way to achieve this? I was thinking it should be done via the user-exit. But I'm not sure how to trigger the workflow from there. Can anyone please advise?

select single matkl from mara into lv_matkl where matnr = wmara-matnr.

if lv_matkl = '0110'

     * execute / trigger the workflow

endif.

Thanks,

Cholen

Hi Cholen,

You can use transaction SWB_COND to create a new start condition for your workflow.

Hi Custodio,

I could not figure out how SWB_COND works. Obviously I'm new to this but I found it can also be done in the triggering event from SWDD. I found the an expression for material group. But another one I need is the cross-plant status (MSTAE). Unfortunately I don't see it here though. Any thoughts?

Resolved - by creating new attribute on the BOR object. Reference for solution: .

Good to see that you solved it and that a 10 years old thread is still helping.
