<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I would really appreciate any =
suggestions anyone has to offer on the question of how best to manage =
workflow in a production system that has more than one business running =
workflow. In this instance these are two large and completely separate =
divisions of the same company, however both will be running the same =
workflows, and almost all of these are in the procurement / invoicing =
area. Both divisions want to be able to manage and report on their own =
work items. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I don't have a problem with =
responsible agent determination, everything will work fine on the =
run-time side of things. The problems I see are that particularly when =
it comes to reporting, there will be a lot of difficulty trying to =
figure out which work items belong to which business. We are going to =
need to write customised reports that use an attribute from the related =
business object (eg. company code) to figure out whose work items are =
whose.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">One option I have thought of but am =
very sceptical about, is whether there is a way of using work item =
number ranges to do the job. If we could create rules that assign each =
work item to one of two number ranges depending on which business the =
related business object belongs to, it would make reporting a lot =
easier. I know it sounds far fetched, but is it possible? Maybe there =
is something else I can use to assign a work item to a business upon =
instantiation of a work item which can then be used in =
reporting?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Many thanks for any ideas...</FONT>
