Org Management for custom approval structures

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

We use plan version 01 for workflow as well as for other purposes.
However, since RH_GET_PLVAR (which calls RH_GET_ACTIVE_WF_PLVAR, which
calls RH_INTERNAL_ACTIVE_WF_PLVAR, which actually selects something instead
of calling another function or form!) returns two plan versions, one for WF
and one "regular" it seems it is just a matter of setting a customising
option (and double maintenance).

What I have trouble understanding (assuming you already have OM in use) is
why you wouldn't use the OM data in the active plan version. There may be a
good reason, but the disadvantage of double maintenance is a big one.
Instead of maintaining the data in a Z-table as today you could perhaps
create a role function which finds the same information from your existing
OM data. But then again, it is hard to understand the thinking that goes on
in Washington. It is the home of Microsoft.

Good luck.

Hello all,

I am interested in using Org Management (OM) to set up another version to
support a custom approval structure for Workflow. Our company is reluctant
to adopt this way of maintaining an approval structure. The data is now
kept in a custom table with custom function modules for agent
determination.

If there is anyone out there using an alternate plan version in OM for a
workflow approval structure? If so, I'd like to discuss the pros and cons
of this type of solution.

Thanks!
