ESS Travel Expenses

[Boulay, Serge]

Hi John,
 
There is no difference if you use ESS or R/3 directly when it comes to triggering the event... The object type for Travel and expenses is BUS2089. There is some standard workflow that allready exist, you can look in the help file for more details. For the approvers, yes they have to be users...
 
Regards.

Subject: ESS Travel Expenses
 
 
Hi Workflowers
 
Any advice and pointers would be most welcome.
 
I am about to start looking at producing a workflow that will automate the
Travel expenses approval procedure, initiated within R3 by transaction
PR05. I believe that the users will initiate this via ESS, and that some of
the approvers will not be R3 users.
Having no knowledge of ESS, a couple of questions, how/what will the event
be that is to start the workflow and what are the mechanisms that allow the
ESS event to be recognised.
Is there anything particular I have to take account of through the use of
ESS.
Will the non R3 approvers need to have a R3 account in order to execute
Workitems, or does having ESS somehow negate this.
 
Kind Regards
 
John
