liberation strategy connection

[MaximoSanchez]

Hello everyone.
I have the following question:
in my company we want to implement the approval and request of orders through the “my inbox” application of fiori.
currently we have an approval strategy implemented in sap gui, then the question is: if we implement the my inbox application, could an approval strategy using sap gui be used together with the my inbox application of fiori?
i.e. if the purchase order has to go through 3 approvers, could 2 approvers use sap gui and 1 approver use my inbox?
I have not found any official sap information on this and it would help me to have it, also obviously if you answer me to this question.
Thank you very much and if you have any doubt please reply me to clarify my question,

Sorry I am not in approval strategies and think this is procurement specific. Are with approval strategy workitems created? If yes, you could approve these also in My Inbox. If you do not have experiences in course BIT602 MyInbox is discussed https://training.sap.com/course/bit602-sap-workflow--overview-basics-strategy-and-extensibility-clas... On which system you operate?

Hi @MaximoSanchez 

If you haven’t looked into this blog post yet, it might be of some help https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-members/linking-workflow-task-sbwp-inbox-to-fiori-i...

It may not be exactly what you expect, but I wanted to share it in case it could be useful.

Thank you.

thank you very much, it is very helpful! However, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you. In the first comment of that post it talks about a “start to finish guide” but the link does not work. Would you know if there is any official sap information regarding this topic? Since I need to be able to back up this information by sap.

I haven't been able to find any official documentation to help you support the thesis, and the link shared in the blog post appears to be expired. However, based on my experience, I've observed that the Fiori My Inbox app and the SAP GUI transaction code /nSBWP are often used interchangeably. To confirm this, it would be helpful to consult an SAP MM functional consultant, as they frequently use these tools in the context of MM/Procurement.

hello @SBach 
thank you for your answer.

Answering your question: With the approval strategy are workitems created?

my answer: I don't know, I will find out.

On the other hand, thanks for the course you sent me but I was looking for free and faster SAP information, that is to say to see the course I would have to wait several days.
My system is a:SAP S/4HANA 2022 FPS02.

Anyway thanks for your reply, greetings!

You´re welcome! You will find all information also in the community and documentation, but could be you need more time to consume/find it. If I got it you ask for PO Workflow? There you can take a look at the documentation https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/af9ef57f504840d2b81be8667206d485/b33a97f3014f43c488e...

@SBach
Thank you!
My question is not about the “Flexible Workflow”, but about the classic workflow that is used from sap gui.
I mean, I want to be able to create a workflow in sap gui and that some people use sap gui to approve purchase orders and others use the fiori application.
So my question is if when creating the workflow from sap gui I can make this can be consumed from sap gui and also from the fiori my inbox application.
Please tell me if you understand me so I can explain it better in case I don't understand it.

[SBach]

Please use standard flex workflow scenarios in S4 if they exists. Please see last picture Migration Options - when to do what: https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/which-workflow-engine-s-for-which-workflow-solu...
