Discussion: Standard Workflow Templates Purpose

[Trant, David]

Agreed.  Kinda like SAPScript.  You never actually use RVINVOICE01 or MEDRU=
CK....  I will say, though, that we actually did implement the purchase ord=
er approval workflow out of the box in a sandbox environment just to learn =
how it was used.  Believe it or not, it worked fine as-is with some simple =
agent assignment.  Of course, in development, we made a copy because we kne=
w we'd be changing too much to use configuration.  I also hate that term be=
cause it conjures up images of the IMG and/or workflow customizing (SWU3).

Subject:        Discussion: Standard Workflow Templates Purpose
 
Evening all,
 
I am hoping to glean the purpose of the SAP standard templates.  To me
they are basic examples to point you in the right direction for your own
further development.  I have come across several specs recently that
start off...
 
"This is a simple workflow, just copy WS######## and allow for
escalation, changes, what the weather is, and then bung in some
completely different text for the task description"
 
By the time you have copied a standard template and wedged in the client
requirements it, to me, is always quicker to get the gist from the
standard, but then build it from scratch. This may not be true for the
backgroundy idoc type of things, but I have never been able to take a
standard and just switch it on.  This makes the whole idea of
SWDD_CONFIG meaningless, and a pain when you train people to say
SWDD_CONFIG is wonderful in BIT600, because it is never used.
 
Any thoughts folks?
 
Cheers,
 
Paul
