Workflow and Training & Events

[Van der Burg, Jeroen JA SITI-ITPSEE]

Cristiana,
 
 
1. Basically, the training request is 'stored' in the workflow logs =
until the booking relationship is created. This results in a couple of =
issues:
- Possible performance issues of the ISS training overview screen when =
there are large numbers of training requests
- Do not copy and rename the standard functionality, as this will result =
in the ISS screen not being able to retrieve all relevant information on =
requested courses.
 
2. Sorry, do not understand your question here. The ISS leave scenario =
does not use locked records but a similar set up as for training =
requests: only create the actual absence record after the request was =
approved. Works very well except for some horrible performance issues at =
the beginning for which SAP fortunately created a patch.
 
3. You still need to provide an activity code; eg BOKF for a firm =
booking. TIP: first get some insight in the different activity codes and =
what they do; then create entries for the ones you want to use (in my =
case; pretty much all of them as I had problems transporting records =
with wildcards in their keys) and link them to your own triggering =
function module so you can easily group triggerings into custom events.
 
Happy to provide any further information if you have any specific =
questions.
 
 
Best regards,
 
 
Jeroen

G'day all,
 
we are in 4.6c and I have a few questions on Training & Events and
Workflow:
 
1) When an employee applies for a training course via ESS (using
transaction code PV7I) what does happen with the request until it is
approved? Is a record created in R/3 or only after approval?
 
2) I don't think there is a 'Lock Indicator' field in the record, there
is? I am trying to figure out what the 'approval' will mean in that =
case,
for example, when dealing with Leave , approving leave means unlocking =
the
relevant record so it can be processing; how that works for Training and
Event records?
 
3) How to trigger the event in Training & Events? I tried creating an
entry in t779x and still no event raised (see below), What else I am =
missing???
