Workflow Tables

[Former Member]

I had some questions about workflow logs and agent determination tables:

What is the typical setup in SAP systems for the tracking of work item approval history and for the agent determination routing? The way I see it is to use the standard approval log table (SWWWIHEAD) and to have a custom table for agent determination.

Would you ever have a custom workflow log table? Is that even possible?

Inversely, is there a standard way to route agent determination without a custom table in the system?

What are the advantages / disadvantages of standard vs. custom for workflow table?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Between SWWLOGHIST and SWWWIHEAD which table specifically would a developer need to work with (just one or is it really both)? I ask because I have offshore resources that need instruction as to where they would pull the detailed approval history for a parked GL document for another RICEFW object being worked on right now (approvals, rejections, approver user IDs, time stamps, etc) that needs to pull this type of data from workflow specifically.

As always you've always been very helpful for my workflow questions, thanks.

Hello,

I've used custom tables for agent assignment before, but never seen a need to use the workflow tables fr that. If you need info about another object then you should access that directly. What exactly do you need from the workflow tables?
