Workflow and SAP HR dependency

[Raju Omkaram]

It is not mandatory to use Org. structures for workflows. You can always use
'Role Resolutions' by maintaining your own table and passing the actual
agent to the Workflow Container.  Sometimes, use of function modules, reduce
the complexity of a workflow especially in a multi step ones.

Subject: Workflow and SAP HR dependency
 
 
I am very new to workflow and have to date had very limited exposure to how
workflow functions and the best practices etc related to workflow. For my
sins, I have been given responsibility for workflow (as we currently have
major problems with supporting the work flows introduced during our phase 1
SAP implementation).
 
The major issues raised by an independent consultant are:-
 
* the dependency of workflow on the SAP HR structure (we struggle to get the
business to pass on information to keep the organization structure up to
date and correct)
* complex multi step work flows
* excessive use of deadline monitoring
 
I am very keen to find out the following:-
 
* is there information available anywhere on SAP workflow best practices?
 
* what alternatives do we have to using the SAP HR organization structure?
 
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
