you create a load of expressions which can call code, constants and include
conditions on other expressions (there are lots delivered as standard). The
good news is that there is an adaptor to call Business Object Attributes and
many of the SAP delivered expressions do just this. For ABAP class fans you
can also call these. You then reference your expressions with events and use
these to decide which process you want to start and how many levels you want.
Very interesting indeed! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Mike!<br>
Hello Dale!<br>
<br>
Yes, BRF does (indirectly) interact with Workflow. In the new SAP for
Insurance FS-CM module there exist the concept of business events in BRF
triggering workflows.<br>
Actually, the point is that a BRF Event may create a task, which, in turn,
triggers a SAP Workflow. The so called tasks can be then found in the
transperent DB table ICLACTIVITY.<br>
For this purpose SAP has developed an own implementation class ICL.<br>
Maybe in the more general case of using BRF outside the SAP FS-CM module, a
user has to implement a custom implementation class (the equaivalent of ICL).<br>
<br>
<br>
What SAP module are worikng interested with?<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>

Hi Dale,<br>
<br>
Not sure if I've missed your question, but workflow doesn't interact with BRF
(yet). You would currently have to write your own class to make the
appropriate calls.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Mike<br>
