Hi Loren,
 
Depending on your release you'll want to look at business objects BUS1001 =
and/or BUS1001OO6.  There are some good existing events and methods in =
both.  SAP does deliver a few "out of the box" R/3 workflow templates/tasks=
 for the material master, although I have not found them useful in our =
implementations.  Use transaction PFTC_DIS (R/3 version 4.6c) to search =
for them.
 
The important thing to consider in workflow development is the business =
process definition.  Be sure to get as much detail documented about the =
business process as you can before you start the development of the =
workflow.  Many times a prototype is helpful for both you and your =
clients.  The material master is complex and will be a challenge.  If you =
need to use effectivity you should also consider the ECM processes/workflow=
s (WS20000754 & WS20000989 again, 4.6c).
 
Good luck!
Dan Harmon
