[LANGE, BODO]

Unfortunately the book was written in german.
I would have expected it to be translated by now.
 
Sorry
Bodo

Hi Stefan,
There is a book on SAP Business Workflow, which contains a check list =
and
questions that have to be answered in order to estimate the duration.
If you develop from the scratch it, depending on complexity it can take
you up to 4 weeks per process.

Hi all,
 
We are going to lead a project which has to implement a SAP Workflow =
based
purchase requisition and invoice approval scenario. We will have a max. =
5
level approval scenario for purchase requisistions and a 2 level =
approval
scenario for invoices and all employees (2000) will be users in SAP and =
in
the workflow. We already have done the first Business Blueprint =
(showing
alternatives and solutions) and we now have to tell the customer if =
their
new goal to implement the whole workflow within 2 months is possible or =
not
(I doubt it).
 
For this project we were given only one Workflow engineer (which
unfortunately has no ABAP Knowledge) and if we have big luck there will =
be
an additional one with more experience and ABAP knowledge, otherwise I =
will
have to do the ABAP part. We will implement this solution on a 4.6B =
System
and we'll use MS Outlook instead of the SAP Inbox.
 
>From your experience, can someone tell me how long an implementation of =
a
standard workflow scenario approximately will take? I have heard times
around 13 Months which in my humble oppinion is very long, but I am not =
a
SAP workflow specialist at all (normaly working with CORBA, COM, XML =
and
SAP).
 
Thanks,
