Triggering event with conditions?

[Griffiths, Mark]

A more efficient alternative to multiple event linkages and Check Function
Modules is a Receiver Type Function module - this is also inserted in the
event linkage - you only need to create one dummy linkage to one of your
workflows.  The receiver type function module can then read your document
type and start the appropriate process.
 
You can code the different process numbers (including their 'WS' prefix) in
your module, but better will be to create a look up table so if you change
your process you can just change the table entry rather than the ABAP.
 
If you don't know how to create a receiver type function module it is
covered in BC610, or search through the system to see if you can find some
examples.
 
Hope this helps,

Hi,
 
We have exactly the same condition here.  What you need to do is code three
check function modules, one for each workflow.  In check function modules,
you can look at the document type, and if it is the one you need (for the
specific workflow), just exit.  Otherwise, raise an exception.  Once you
have all three in place, and have specified them in the event linkage
tables (Tx SWETYPV) the correct workflow should be triggered.
