<DIV>Viera,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The best way as I see it is creating new object type; SAP BOR supports this functionality.</DIV>
<DIV>besides creation of a new object type, the rest of the workflow effort is quite the standard. </DIV>
<DIV>I think avoiding creation of object type will result in much more effort and less standard solution.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, it is quite simple to execute.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In addition, you will need to incorporate some events within you non-standard application.. That should not be a problem since it's all customer developed programs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck.<BR> </DIV>

recommendations anyone had for triggering a custom designed workflow that is related to a non-standard process. Our scenario is for an AFS (Authorization for Shipment) Form that is created in SAP which we would like to route for approval through workflow.<BR><BR>The Challenge:<BR><BR>Our AFS process is non-standard so there are not existing business objects to use for the start event in the workflow. There is no result from running a trace event in SWEL when this process is kicked off in SAP. There are two Z tables in SAP where this information is stored which makes me think that a function module can potentially be used; however, I'm struggling with how either the check function module or receiver type function module can be updated in SWETYPV if an object type (Business Object) does not exist. Is anyone aware of any standard business objects I could potentially use for this scenario? Perhaps a new business object needs to
be created for this scenario; however, if at all possible I would like to avoid creating new business objects in SAP.<BR>Maybe there is a different way to trigger this workflow outside of a start event and a function module that makes more sense.<BR><BR>Any insight would be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>Miguel R.
