<div>Hi Greg,<br> </div>
<div> </div>

<p><font face="Arial" color="navy" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy">We just converted from 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.

<p style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Hi – </span></font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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: 1in"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.
