Triggering events

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Maorriyan, There are many different ways of raising events.  The problem is with purchase requisitions - they don't link into to status management or change documents or any other functionality that lets are use the nice flexible standard ways of raising events, instead they use their own function modules.  So there aren't a lot of alternatives for purchase requisitions.  For most other objects you could use change documents or status management or business transaction events or HR event tables or LIS events or user exits or ...
Creating your own report is a last resort which is not usually necessary.

So Jocelyn,
there's no such a way to run workflow if triggering event report does not
produce anything/ no event triggered. The only way is build a report/ABAP
program that use function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORFKLOW or
SAP_WAPI_START_EVENT. Am I right ?
