prior to assigning a substitute. The substitute is then assigned
centrally using an SM30 parameter transaction against a maintenance view of the
substitution table (HRUS_D2). That way we can insure that the substitute
has the same authority as the original approver, that the substitution is not
open-ended, etc. (not guaranteed if approvers do their own substitutions).
Once implemented, the process is not as cumbersome as it sounds; it’s
folded in with other security processes. So, the lack of the substitution
button isn’t a problem for us.</span></font></p>

the SAP Office inbox to the UWL with the implementation of the SAP
Portal. The big plus for users here is one stop shopping, i.e., all SAP
Office inboxes (R/3, EBP, ESS) are now available in one place. Before,
users had to enter via SBWP to approve separately in each system. The
biggest negative with the UWL is the loss of the "advance with
dialog" feature. We've had to write custom code to compensate for
this. I think this is a major loss, although I haven't seen any other
complaints on WUG on the topic. </span></font></p>

<p style='margin-left:1.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We are using Portal 6.0, and because of
unfamiliarity, etc., etc., we had replaced the Universal Work List (UWL) with
the SAP Business Workplace (transaction SBWP) using Windows HTML GUI. We
have a handful of workflow approval tasks (PR approvals, Fixed Asset retirement
approvals, Absence Request approvals, etc.) that we route to people in their
Workflow Inboxes, which should be available with either "tool". </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:1.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We are in the process of moving from SAP R/3 4.6B to
MySAP ERP (ECC 5.0). In light of this, I have been asked to provide pros
and cons regarding replacing the Business Workplace with the UWL, since the UWL
is the default tool in Portal. Do any of you have any strong arguments
either for or against the use of UWL as opposed to the Business
Workplace? Some of our users really like the ability to do their
automatic forwarding, substitution maintenance, outbox maintenance, etc., from
Portal. Most of these things especially don't seem to be available in the
UWL. </span></font></p>
