Help needed with this scenario

Wed Sep 7 06:31:14 EDT 2005

Yes I thought you meant EP 6.0 - that's why I suggested Internet Service
Requests.  

It really is a lot less effort than the way you propose, because
Internet Service Requests is all pre-built and configurable.  It handle
forms very well with the Portal as I said, this is the way all the ESS
forms for the portal are handled.  Plus you can see the form from R/3 as
well if you wish.  

You configure what fields you want on your form and you can generate the
iview or equivalent from QISRSCENARIO.  This is generic functionality
that is available for all R/3 applications. 

Seriously - it's a lot easier than reinventing the wheel.

Hi Jocelyn,

By portal I meant Enterprise Portal 6.0, not just any internet
portal.(sorry 
if i led you wrongly)
What I have thought of is to have an RFC call from EP to an FM in R/3.
Then 
the FM will call,
a business object which will trigger an event to start the workflow. In
turn 
the workflow will generate a form to have the details as per on the
portal. 
Do you find any flaws in this approach.

Regards,
Vijay
