FB08 - Workflow Question

[Carson, Wayne]

This is a follow up to my previous question on terminating events.
 
 
 
I am looking at transaction SWEL.  When the accounting document is created,
it triggers the RECEIVER TYPE WORKITEM, Object Type BKPF, Event Assigned.
 
 
 
What happens if you need a TERMINATING EVENT for transaction FB08 and it
appears that SAP didn't provide one?  I am looking at Object Type: BKPF.  Do
you look for a USER exit in the application and add code to raise the event
there?  This user exit would have to be part of the FB08 update program,
otherwise, you would have a problem if the update failed (dump for example).
Any ideas on this approach or an alternative.
 
 
 
I have seen coding in some examples where the workflow performed a "COMMIT
work and wait" in the METHOD.  I thought that this approach (to make sure
the database updates were completed) was frowned upon by SAP.  I thought
that we should avoid using COMMIT works within a METHOD.
 
 
 
Another approach would be to put coding into a LOOP where you check the DB
to see if the update has occurred.  Basically, keep looping until you get
the value or you EXIT the process after a certain time period.  I don't
think this logic is the cleanest.
 
 
 
Thank you,
