Correlation Editor

[Alon Raskin]

Hi Everyone,
 
I stumbled upon this a while back and I was wondering if anyone has actually used this. I read the online help but that didn't help too much.
I would be curious if anyone has used this and under what circumstances.
 
In transaction SWDD go to the menu Environment->Development->Correlation Editor.
 
Here is what the SAP says:
 
A correlation enables you to identify objects that belong together, for example, a quotation and the relevant sales order. This involves correlating the objects by using one or more common elements, for example, the quotation number. When you define a Workflow, you can specify the object that the Workflow must wait for, without having to enter the ID of the object. 
 
While I can see that this is useful, why not simply enhance a sub-type of quotation so that it contains an attribute called Sales Order? That way the attribute can be re-used for multiple workflows.
 
I am sure I am missing something here....
 
Regards,
 
Alon Raskin
