Difference between application workflow and process driven workflow

[Former Member]

Hi,

I read that in SRM 7.0 there s a new concept of process driven workflow that executes different process level.

Eg: i can define a process schema with 2 levels.

level 1 for completion of SC

level 2 for approval.

The same thing can be done is application workflow also right.. even in srm 5.0 you can have a SC completion workflow precede a approval workflow right?

I want to know the difference between the two workflow and what the advantage or disadvantage of using both.

Additionally, In the process controlled workflow, why cant the the n-step approval BAdI workflow be utilized?

Hi,

SRM 7.0 supports both Application-Controlled Workflow and Process-Controlled Workflow but mixed usage is not supported.

Application-Controlled Workflow - for upgrade customers

Process-Controlled Workflow - for new customers

Future new enhanced functions are only delivered in Process-Controlled Workflow. Application-Controlled Workflow is like maintenance mode and no more enhancement.
