Create workflow and start first workitem

[Kouw, FA - SPLTX]

Hi,
 
Mike, we use event 'Created' of BUS1001006 (Standard material) to start a custom material master workflow (the event is triggered by standard SAP after creating a new material). If the user who created the material is a possible and responsible agent of the first work item it is automatically executed (the user
does not have to start it from the inbox).
 
Can you explain this, maybe something is possible for Werner?
 
Regards,
 
Fred

Be aware that this way you have to handle any errors yourself, there's no event queue/linkage or other trace by which a flow can be restarted if things didn't go to plan.
