Custom workflow triggered from custom event

[Sandra_Rossi]

HI All,

My requirement here is to create a custom workflow which will be triggered from a custom event.

It has no link with any standard business process.

From custom UI user will request for approval. An entry will be created in Z table and custom workflow will be triggered for approval/rejection.

Upon approval I want same entry in Z table to be updated with an unique number.

Could you please let me know the steps in creating custom event, custom workflow and how to link them

Thanks

You are asking a training about workflow here. Hopefully you can find answers to these questions in the SAP library, forum, blogs, books, etc. (and of course SAP training courses)

Hello rujutark

Why don't you start with workflow tutorials available on SAP Help:

Tutorial: Workflow Modeling

Tutorial: Workflow Programming

They will jump start you to SAP Workflow.

I don't think you need a custom event as your workflow is not going to be connected to any standard business process. A user can start the workflow directly with the SWUI transaction. They can provide here all the required workflow parameters. I used that approach with success.

Best regards
