Hi Folks,
If you are doing workflows of this sort please also look at SAP's =
Master
Data Management (MDM) solution=20
- early days yet but this does pretty much what you are after. Worth
investigating. Regards,

Hello Tomasz,
Thanks a lot for your kind response. Your valuable insight to the =
subject is
very helpful and appreciated. It will definitely help in the design an
prototyping of my workflow.
I am really glad, we have the opportunity to pose questions to this =
forum
(thanks MIT!).
Best regards,
Thad

Hello Thad,
MSTA and MOFF will be of the biggest significance for you. The first =
one
indicates which views have already been created. The latter one shows =
which
should still be created (at least -- which the system "thinks" it =
needs).
For raising the workflow -- forget ...ViewCreated, but use
BUS1001006.Created (or have your own event raised when a change =
document is
written for material master). Then respond to this event with your =
workflow.
BUS1001006.ViewCreated is rather useful to cancel work items already =
sitting
in someone's inbox.
Best regards,
Tomasz
P.S.1 By the way -- there's also a very useful MOFF business object. =
Have a
look -- it complements BUS1001006 pretty nicely. Looking back at the
workflow I've done I'd exploit it even more. Somehow the materials =
workflow
seems rather to evolve around material VIEWS than the material master
"header-level" record...
P.S.2 If you have any more questions, feel free to ask further. It will =
be
my pleasure to help

Hi Claus,
Thanks for the input. There are a few tables containing the maintenance
status field. I am aware of MSTA, MOFF, MARC, and MARA.
The tricky part is that during the creation of a material there are =
four
bus1001006.viewcreated raised and we want to trigger the workflow once. =
Then
there are material extensions being uploaded to SAP and, again,
1001006.viewcreated is raised more than once. This picture seems to be
complicated farther by the lack of a plant number on the event/object =
level.
If you or anyone else has gone through a similar exercise and could =
share
your ideas, before my engaging in coding complex attributes, I would =
very
appreciate it.
Regards,
Thad Gorbal

Hi Thad.
Yes, the maintenance status is a possible solution. I check on this in =
a
start condition of a material master WF.

Subject: Material Master WF
Hello All:
I have a request to build a material master workflow which would =
control
creation of appropriate views by appropriate agents.
Material creation/extension requests are fed to SAP form an outside =
system
via Idoc/Ale. The event BUS1001006.Created seems to be good for =
material
creation request, but it is not raised for the material extensions to =
other
plants.
I have been considering using just the BUS1001006.VIEWCREATED event to
trigger my WF. However, I am not quite sure how to control starting
workflow, since multiple such events are raised at the new material =
request
as well as the extension of one.
Your hints and tips would be very appreciated. It looks like the =
maintenance
status could be useful.
Thanks in advance,
Thad Gorbal
