Hi Greg,
 

 

One small question, EBP Approvals have the "Substitution" option, How did
you achive that in UWL since UWL by default does not come with "Substitute"
option.

 

Thanks,

-Krishna

All,

We just converted from the SAP Office inbox to the UWL with the
implementation of the SAP Portal.  The big plus for users here is one stop
shopping, i.e., all SAP Office inboxes (R/3, EBP, ESS) are now available in
one place.  Before, users had to enter via SBWP to approve separately in
each system.  The biggest negative with the UWL is the loss of the "advance
with dialog" feature.  We've had to write custom code to compensate for
this.  I think this is a major loss, although I haven't seen any other
complaints on WUG on the topic.

Hi – 

We are using Portal 6.0, and because of unfamiliarity, etc., etc., we had
replaced the Universal Work List (UWL) with the SAP Business Workplace
(transaction SBWP) using Windows HTML GUI.  We have a handful of workflow
approval tasks (PR approvals, Fixed Asset retirement approvals, Absence
Request approvals, etc.) that we route to people in their Workflow Inboxes,
which should be available with either "tool". 

We are in the process of moving from SAP R/3 4.6B to MySAP ERP (ECC 5.0).
In light of this, I have been asked to provide pros and cons regarding
replacing the Business Workplace with the UWL, since the UWL is the default
tool in Portal.  Do any of you have any strong arguments either for or
against the use of UWL as opposed to the Business Workplace?  Some of our
users really like the ability to do their automatic forwarding, substitution
maintenance, outbox maintenance, etc., from Portal.  Most of these things
especially don't seem to be available in the UWL. 

Any information would be appreciated


Regards,
Sherman
