This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "how to define the SAP WF module". Many people will encounter such a dilemma in the operation of actual cases, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

SAP business workflow is an important business engineering tool provided by SAP Rhamp3. It is designed to cross application modules and support sets

Business is done. Therefore, it improves the function of the existing standard application system. It is especially suitable for meeting the special needs of the company, automatic

To handle and control business across application modules. The SAP business workflow integrates and complements the services that have not been included in the standard Randall 3 system.

Therefore, the SAP business workflow can implement JIT printing in the SAP Rhamp3 environment. If we can successfully define printing

For one step (activity) in the entire workflow (of course, at the right time, the right printer completes the correct print output

), the workflow of developing JIT printing and developing SAP business is very similar.

Workflow: although there are some outdated technologies, there are still many companies in use, especially in some larger enterprises, where system upgrades are slow.

First, a brief introduction to Workflow

1. In terms of purpose, it is to make the whole business more smooth, more transparent, more convenient and faster.

2. Now that we have workflow, we should have a management system and a development environment accordingly, which we can find in SAP. (T-code: SWDM')

3. Before using workflow, we must understand that no matter what kind of workflow, there will be a complete set of business prototypes. Before defining workflow, you should find the corresponding existing model.

4, do not misunderstand the functions of workflow, in fact, it is very powerful, although we often use only part of its functions. It includes: notification of email, integration of transaction, data exchange between different systems (ALE/EDI) and so on.

II. The definition of Workflow

Every workflow can find business processes in sap.

Workflow consists of many steps

Workflow can be triggered by events

III. The creation of Workflow

If we already know how the business executes, we can create our own workflow, so we will need workflow builder. (T-code: SWDD)

IV. Workflow template

SAP provides a large number of Workflow templates for your reference, if it does not meet the specific business process, you can enhance the template. However, just like the SAP standard procedure, it cannot be modified. Of course, you can copy the template and modify it, depending on your needs.

How to view the workflow template: (T-code:PFTC_DIS)

Task type: WS

Workflow Assistant: Business Workplace-SBWP

When the Workflow executes to a certain step that requires specific user confirmation or approval, the work item is sent to the user's workplace to enable the user to take the appropriate action.

Business Workplace can be integrated with many external tools, such as lotus note,MS outlook, etc., which makes the notification mode of workflow more flexible.

Figure out the architecture of Workflow:

The above diagram is very important, which basically describes the direction of our development, and it is also very helpful for you to understand the Workflow that comes with SAP, to see why it is defined and how to implement it.

In Workflow, we often come across something about Business Object, and I would like to introduce its development and use in a separate article. If you don't know BO, then BAPI, which is closely related to it, you must know. In further understanding the principle of BAPI, you will find that it is basically in BO.
