SAP Workflow Scenarios

SAP Business Workflow enables integrated electronic management of business processes across applications and work centers. It provides predefined workflow scenarios that can be reused or configured for customer processes with minor adjustments. These scenarios significantly reduce implementation time. Scenarios are integrated in IDES and allow simulating processes of a model company. The scenarios can create events, provide SAP tasks, and offer complete SAP workflows that may be used as templates or adapted for customer environments.

Workflow Scenarios

Purpose

SAP Business Workflow with its WebFlow function is an efficient cross-application tool
enabling integrated electronic management of business processes. SAP Business Workflow is a
solution which has been integrated fully in the SAP System and which enables customer-specific
business process flows to be coordinated and controlled on a cross-application and cross-work
center basis. SAP Business Workflow therefore enhances "ready-made" application software.
The SAP Business Workflow definition environment can represent business processes simply
and can respond to changing external conditions quickly, even in a live system, by adapting the
existing business processes.

Many SAP applications use SAP Business Workflow enabling preconfigured workflow
scenarios to be reused in various situations. The scenarios can either be implemented without
any changes or configured for your business processes by making minor adjustments. These
workflow scenarios reduce implementation time significantly and have been optimally
configured for the respective application functions.

Many workflow scenarios are integrated in IDES (International Demonstration and Education
System). It is possible to simulate the business processes of a model company in this fully-
configured system.

Features

The workflow scenarios can be divided into three categories:

Creating Events

Events are created to report status changes for an application object and to allow a reaction to the
changes.

These events can be used as triggering events for your own tasks or workflows. The events are
therefore “connected” in a flexible and customer-specific way to application events, without
having to modify the standard part of the application.

In some cases, the triggering of these events is not activated in the standard version, but depends
on the Customizing settings. You can find further information in the Workflow scenario
documentation.

Providing SAP Tasks

A task contains a task description and the connection to the application logic via the method for a
business object. Before you can use a task productively, you must assign the tasks to its possible
agents.
The tasks provided by SAP are generally used as steps in SAP workflows, but you can use them
for your own developments as well.

If a workflow scenario only involves one task, the scenario can usually be regarded as a minimal
solution for showing the connection between application functionality and the Workflow. For
differentiated control, this SAP task should be replaced by a customer-specific task.

You can find further information in the Workflow scenario documentation.

Providing SAP Workflows

A workflow contains a complete workflow definition covering several steps. An SAP workflow
has a complete workflow definition, but must still be adapted to the organizational environment
of the customer.

In cases in which SAP workflows describe business processes which also occur in your
company, or in cases in which changes should not be made to the SAP workflow for technical
reasons, the SAP workflows supplied can be used without any changes or adapted using
workflow configuration.

In all other cases, the SAP workflows can be used as templates for your own developments. The
existing process structures of the business application components, which are often represented
within a transaction, are generally not replaced. Workflow is seen as an integration level "above"
the standard business functions and uses the existing transactions, function modules, and reports.
