Is migrating open application workflows to process-controlled WFL required?

[Former Member]

Dear forum members,

We have upgraded an SRM system from version 5.0 to 7.0 (SP 7) and we have gone live in SRM 7.0 with the old application-controlled workflows still being used for old and new documents.

We are in the process of changing the workflow to the new process-controlled (BRF) workflow and this works OK for new docments in our test systems.

Can you confirm if we MUST migrate the old workflows to the new BRF workflow when we activate the new p-c workflow into the live system?

I would prefer to have the old application-controlled workflow continue for existing document approvals and use the process-controlled workflow for new ones.

My questions are:

1. Can we use both application and process-controlled workflows together at the same time (new docs use p-c workflow, existing approvals to continue to use A-C workflow while they run down)?

2. If not, can we migrate SC n-step BADI workflow to the p-c workflow (report /SAPSRM/PR_WF_MIGRATION_CFG implies not)

Any help or advice is appreciated as always!

Thanks a lot,

Nick

No we can't use both workflow together at the same time..

2. If not, can we migrate SC n-step BADI workflow to the p-c workflow (report /SAPSRM/PR_WF_MIGRATION_CFG implies not)

I never tried it, But Logically it is possible..

Thanks!!

Hi Bharath,

Thanks for your post - I thought I saw a reply on a similar post from Masa which implied to me we can use (run down) the old workfllows while the new workflow is used for new documents (but I can't find the post now when I need it!)

So I was hoping someone can confirm or deny this for certain?

Please let me know if you can!

Thanks,

Nick
