color:#1F497D'> The substitution profile is mapped to a task
classification in SPRO under WAS -> Business Management->Sap Business
Workflow->Basic Settings. You can set the classification for a task in
maintain Agent Assignment -> Attributes in the builder. The profile
for the substitution is stored in HRUS_D2-REPPR. You can specify the
profile when you set a substitute. It should be no issue to design and
implement your own approval process with rules, but it would not be advisable
to try to create your own substitution mechanism. It would be a better
design to simply create your own classification for your trip expense tasks and
assign them to a specific profile and then set your substitutes using the
standard functionality so that your tasks can have different substitutes than
the rest of the tasks. Keep in mind there are (or maybe this has been
changed by now?) limitations that prevent you from assigning two profiles to
the same substitute which would require you to create a second profile for
substituting trip expenses and the other tasks to the same user.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I just
wanted to put down my workflow scenario so that I can get some help and guide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It's
basically the Trip Expense Approval process where in the employee creates an
expense report which needs to be approved by his Manager and later by the
Expense Processor/Audit processor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We are
having the HR organization data as part of the requirement, but the client does
not want to go with the above approval process using HR org data. Now the
question I have is how much is the flexibility of using HR org data for the
approval process (includes the substitution) when compared to having the list
of approvers and substitutes in a custom table and assign accordingly. I know
the process of using the rule to assign a approver for a particular task but
can we also apply a rule to choose the substitute from the list?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I have
another question when I was searching on substitution profiles to restrict the
selected tasks/work items to be sent for substitute. But while creating it in
SAP I could not able to find out as where does the restriction is being set? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Appreciate
your inputs and help on this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
