Thanks Flavio and Gavin, at least I have a starting point now.
Gavin, have you implemented this sort of 'workflow' before? If yes, please
feel free to share any pain points!
Much thanks and regards,
Cristiana

Re: Solution Manager - Workflow for Document Management
Cristiana,
For approvals and authorisations in Solution Manager you should use
the status of the document and digital signatures. There is a standard
"workflow" in which you can configure the sequence of statuses and the
profiles of which users can put the document in each status. This
isn't a workflow like we all know and love, it's more of a status
schema, but that's what the Solution Manager folks call it anyway.
The SPRO path to configure the document statuses is:
SAP Solution Manager > Configuration > Scenario-specific
configurations > Scenario independent configuration > Document
management > Document status
and
Scenario independent configuration > Digital signature > Signature
strategy.
You should be able to work things out from the SPRO documentation.
I know you can customise the system to send emails automatically when
service calls are attributed to users, but I don't know if this is
possible for document status changes.
Regards,
Gavin
