<DIV>Thanks Claude. Like you said since the workflow is triggered by FM, can you
tell what config need to be done(IMG). Can you please send me any documentation
if you have since you have already worked on similar scenario. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again thanks a lot Claude.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Not sure about ECC 6.0 but in
good old Enterprise (4.7), the problem is that in the CATS Data Entry profile
config (table TCATS), you have to insert the TS directly in a field. Thus, no
WS, therefore, no easy way to do deadlines and other neat things offered by
the WS. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Users' Group<BR><B>Subject:</B> CATS WORKFLOW<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi
friends,<BR><BR>I've to do CATS approval workflow on ECC 6.0 and my functional
asked me to look into WS40001001. One thing I noticed is that of the two tasks
in the workflow one of the tasks TS20000495 is absolute; I mean it is not
available in the system. Also at present we don't have org structure so I'm
planning to write custom rule to determining agent from custom table. Does
this approach helps?. This is quite urgent requirement hence client want it be
done as soon as possible –not waiting for org structure to set up as it will
take another 5 months for that. <BR><BR>Can you tell me what is the business
object to be used also is there any IMG config to be done?. If 'Yes' what are
those. Points wll be awarded to all useful answers. Thanks a lot
friends<BR>-Nash </SPAN></DIV><PRE>====================================================================================
