<DIV>Hi Jerry,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think you have got the wrong information, UWL substitute management
does link to the backend substitutions and maintains them beautifully in the
lates versions. I verified this by testing an EP6.0 SP14/ECC5.0 system and after
maintaining the substitutions of person A in the portal, A:s work items were
displayed without any problems in person B:s Business Workplace in the ECC
system. <BR> </DIV>
<DIV>With regards to the substitute management updating multiple backends, I
wasn't able to test this fully but I put in a screenshot from the substitute
maintenance screen (attached) which implies that multiple backends can be
updated. So I would with 99% certainty say that yes, it's possible too. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't actually done the UWL systems config here but I think there's
nothing else to it regarding substitutions than configuring the systems.
Substitution rules can also be maintained in the backend system.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps,</DIV>
<DIV>Mikko</DIV>

All,<BR><BR>I need some help trying to understand and figure out how to best
proceed with a recommendation/solution for defining workflow substitutes in a
new SAP installation that includes the following components: Netweaver 2004S,
EP6, SRM5 and ERP 2005. <BR><BR>The client is planning to rollout
various ESS, MSS, ERP and SRM workflows throughout the organization and use
the UWL for all workflow scenarios.<BR><BR>Being new to the portal and UWL, I
been reading and trying different things with respect to maintaining
substitutes in the ERP and SRM systems as well as the UWL. <BR><BR>I've
figured out that the UWL substitute processing is not linked to the ERP and
SRM functionality. This means that anyone responsible for approvals will need
to log into the ERP system and define the required personal substitutes in the
Workflow Inbox and then repeat the same process in the SRM Approval tab.
<BR><BR>If the above is the only way to define substitutes, then the process
will not be met with open arms for all sorts of reasons.<BR><BR>As I'm new to
these new SAP components, am I missing something? There is a simple solution
to defining substitutes in this type of a system landscape or do you need to
build something to provide the required/desired single entry point for both
systems. <BR><BR>Also, what do the UWL substitutes
provide?<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Jerry<BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>SAP-WUG
