<div>The standard setup in SAP is generally via events. Most of the business processes trigger events which are used by most developers as the primary method of workflow trigger. This enables better monitoring through the Event trace, event queue, etc. These are not possible while kicking off workflows directly, where you may have to pass messages back to the initiating application if there were problems starting the workflow, which in most instances may not be meaningful to the end user. Also, the single great feature of event mechanism is the ability to retrigger them from SWUE by just passing the object key (in most instances).
