"Start Workflow" of Generic Object Service

[Kisloff, Philip B]

Hi Kim,
 
There seems to be a whole lot needs to be done, and the only documentation I
ever found was an error message long text (WI116). Even then it does not
mention everything:
 
The start workflow transaction can be called from the main menu (SWUI) or
from within a transaction (GOS). If from within a transaction, only one
mandatory input container element must be present for the workflow (not
task), with the same object type as describes the transaction. No mandatory
input elements are allowed if stated from SWUI.
 
Also, the user must be a possible agent, by making the workflow general task
or assigning some org management object. Finally, the authorisation to start
the SWUI transaction must be present in the profile as well as to start the
workflow (Authorization object S_WF_WI, Activity 16 (start task) Type F) You
may also want to restrict this to certain workflows by classification (in
the IMG).
 
Regards
 
Phil

Dear Experts,
 
There is 'Start Workflow' function in the Generic Object Service.
And the related workflows are determined automically by the system according
to the online document.
 
But I don't know how these are determined.
 
Who knows how related workflows are determined?
What rules or criterion is used to determine?
 
Any opinion will be appreciated.
 
Regards,
Steve Kim
