material creation and maintenance WF

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-IS/IT]

Loren,
 
I've seen such things developed within 2 weeks to 2 years (... and still
growing), depending on the complexity of the process.
 
The first hint is:  whenever estimating workflow processes, always ask for
the description of the process. Make it as detailed as it gets. Then start
estimating it. Without it there's no point to discuss things -- your
estimate will be wrong.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz
 
P.S. Actually material creation & maintenance can easily get out of hand --
the processes quickly get pretty complex, so make sure you understand the
process in all the details. If you don't feel very confident, start with a
simpler process (or a limited pilot project, to grow), or get someone to
help you.

Hi Folks,
 
I'm the  EDI guy here and the  workflow developer. I took a WF class about a
year ago but have not worked on any WF projects. I have now been given the
opportunity to do some WF and they want a material creation and maintenance
WF. They want to know how long it will take for me to get a prototype and I
have no stinking idea. I think you either have a WF or .... you don't.
Anyone have an estimation of time that it might take a newbie to create a
material management WF?
 
Thanks much
Loren
