<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>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We tried using a bogus TS

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A CATS.CREATED event is

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>====================================================================================
