Workflow task or user exit

[Dart, Jocelyn]

John,
You need to explain your business scenario before we can give
an opinion on whether it is suitable for workflow.
Usually workflow is used for ongoing communication/follow-on
processes after the purchase requisition.
However we really need to understand what you are trying to do
before we could make a call on which approach is better for your
scenario.

Neither is cleaner. Depends on what your requirements are.
 
For example, is your user exit called many times then you could end up with
lots of Work Items which could easily have been avoided if an exit is required.
If you wanted some sort of audit trail then perhaps a Workflow task is the way
to go.
 
It all depends...
