MIGO_GI Workflow

[Former Member]

Hi experts

I am trying to come up with a workflow scenario in which one user enters details of a goods issue and sends to the the next person who will post the goods issue. The current goods issue only allows one user to post the goods issue, but now the client wants one person to create or park and another to post.

Can anyone assist by telling me how i can do this because i can not see any point to enhance the process that way.

All contributions will be appreciated.

Hi,

Is is possible to "park" goods issues? Is there some kind of preliminary status for goods issues? If I was you, this would be the first thing to investigate. If there isn't some kind of preliminary status for goods issues, you are most probably facing a big custom development task. Think about it in this way, if the standard does not include the option to "park" (or whatever) the goods issue, maybe you will need to build a new transaction for doing some kind of parked goods issues.

Basically after you have figured out how to achieve the above stuff, you can start to think about the actual process and the workflow. The workflow part might be actually quite easy. Just trigger the workflow somehow when the goods issue is "parked", etc. (Vinoth already gave you some good points about this part.)

Hi- "The current goods issue only allows one user to post the goods issue"

This means both the person who creates and post the GI are same? Can you tell us, currently are you using any std. or custom workflow?

--> "but now the client wants one person to create or park and another to post."

Here you need to understand the requirement of how to get the approver to post the GI created by a person. If your client has Org structure in place, then you could get the Manager or Supervisor and send them for approval

Else, you could make use of other agent detemination technique like- Rule with Responsiblity...

Thanx for the response.

Yes currently the same user creates and posts. There is no workflow for that process, so my question is how to come up with the workflow.

And there is is an Organizational Structure

Okay- so you need to design the workflow for Goods issue.

Now check is there any std workflow available to know the process and take a copy and make it to custom. Try to create a GI and check for the BO and event name

Then make corresponding event linkage. Now check with your client, how they need to identify the approver (who is eligible for posting). For example, do we need to go with Org structure to get the approver or do we need to use Rule and you can proceed with this
