Hi Rick,

     Can you reply for my discussion too ??

Hello,

Workflow is not a SAP module in the usual sense of the word. It can be part of any module (like ABAP). It is a way of modelling and expediting business processes, as described above.

Why do you ask?

A month ago i was about to get trained in Workflow. Now i got something in my mind. And i have one more question to ask if you are free.

[Former Member]

No need to ask if you can ask a question! This is a forum, go ahead.

Ha thanks rick.

Now i am doing a project for updating a timesheet through online using web dynpro. My doubt is which field would favor as a key field. Database design screen shot has been attached too.

Kindly help me Rick.

Thanks,

Arun

Hello,

Well, you do have to ask the right question in the correct forum! There is more chance of getting a sensible answer that way. This thread was moved to the Workflow forum because you asked about workflow. If you have a new question you should open a new thread in the appropriate forum (or space, as they call it now).

But anyway, the fields marked as PK seem to be the logical choices for the first two tables.

As for the third table:

1 - "Updation" is not a word, you won't find it in any English dictionary. I suggest you find a better name (what is it a table of?)

2 - Each value of a primary key (PK) can only occur once in a table so limiting it to Employee and Project will probably not work here. You would have to include the date and if there is more than one entry per date possible per employee/project then you will need to include another field. Possibly SO, depending on what that is (tip: always pick meaningful field names).

Good luck!

Hi Arun,

I checked with SAP people regarding this, SAP workflow is a module.

Hi Arun,

     As mentioned by others it is not a separate module, but it can be used to automate the business processes.

Assume that when ever you have any approval kind of scenarios in that cases you can use workflows. The terms it self is a self explanatory FLOWING your Business WORK across organization or enterprise.

You can use this SAP workflow technology in any of the SAP Functional Module HCM,SRM,SCM,CRM,SD,MM...... So you can use workflows to automate business scenarios, or an action needed on the process...
