Theoretical question - WF Design

[Richard Marut]

Sue,

Another option is to use a start condition. You could also code your own
check function module and manually add it to the type linkages table. The
start condition will not require an ABAP or Workflow resoucre, just someone
who can understand conditions. The Check FM will require ABAP but will be
easy to find.

Subject: Theoretical question - WF Design

Hello all,

I am in the process of designing workflows for SRM 5.0 (Shopping Cart
Release - using N-step BAdi, 
PO, etc.).  My organization is very thin when it comes to workflow
expertise.  Therefore, I ask the 
following:

Is it better to put conditions, branching, etc in the workflow itself, which
exposes the conditions, 
but also complicates the flow, and would require a WF person to
modify/maintain, or

put a lot of effort into the underlying ABAP, the theory being that it would
be easier to find an 
ABAPer who can maintain/modify the code.  The drawback, of course, is that
the conditions are not so 
visible.

There's no right or wrong answer... just food for thought.

Happy WF-ing,
Sue
