simple Forms vs ??

 Juergen,

 You can certainly use the asset change BAPI to do the cost center change. At my previous client (Version 6.20), there was an elaborate process to transfer assets and it was done using Smartforms and custom transactions and of course Workflow! All you need are the Asset key fields and the new cost center and date of transfer(if you need to create a new time interval for the asset - if I remember correctly). Since you may not be dealing with the Asset object instance, create an instance independent method for the BAPI call.

  On NW04s best form option is Adobe Another is to use Guided Procedures and a WebDynpro form. You could perhaps use this and then call an RFC to raise a workflow event afterwards.   But look at Adobe seriously.    Regards,

       Hallo,

 i would like to set up a "simple" approval workflow in FI-AA; the user wants to request a change to the costcenter; this should be approved by someone, and if approved, the asset should be changed. 

 I'm not familiar with workflow, so i thougt it's a good idea to use "simple forms" - turns out they are not that simple :-)

 After some googling i found the Cookbook from Jocelyn Dart: "Using Form Steps in SAP's WebFlow Engine", i also searched this MailingList for "simple Forms". 

 The cookbook and the entries in the mailing list i found are kind of old and seem to me outdated - we are using NW04s/700.
 1) is simple Forms the way you would realise the above mentioned scenario or is there a better/newer/easier way to do this workflow? 
 2) i wanted to use a BAPI to change the asset; but i have no idea how i could execute the BAPI after the form step with proper bapitables filled - i created a new workitem so i would be able to change costcenter. How can i fill the BAPI tables with the fields from the form-container? is that possible at all? 

 Best Regards,
  Juergen         _______________________________________________
