[LIKELY JUNK]Recommendation of Triggering Workflow for Non-Standard SAP Process

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Miguel - you don't mention what release you are on?  You might be better
off creating an ABAP OO Class if you are on a NW 6.40 platform or
higher, and using the CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT class to raise a start event. 
I have a series of blogs on SDN - just search on my name as author. 
 
Regards,
Jocelyn Dart

Subject: [LIKELY JUNK]Recommendation of Triggering Workflow for
Non-Standard SAP Process



Hello WF Experts,

 

I wanted to see what recommendations anyone had for triggering a custom
designed workflow that is related to a non-standard process.  Our
scenario is for an AFS (Authorization for Shipment) Form that is created
in SAP which we would like to route for approval through workflow. 

 

 The Challenge:

 

Our AFS process is non-standard so there are not existing business
objects to use for the start event in the workflow.  There is no result
from running a trace event in SWEL when this process is kicked off in
SAP.  There are two Z tables in SAP where this information is stored
which makes me think that a function module can potentially be used;
however, I'm struggling with how either the check function module or
receiver type function module can be updated in SWETYPV if an object
type (Business Object) does not exist.  Is anyone aware of any standard
business objects I could potentially use for this scenario?  Perhaps a
new business object needs to be created for this scenario; however, if
at all possible I would like to avoid creating new business objects in
SAP. 

Maybe there is a different way to trigger this workflow outside of a
start event and a function module that makes more sense. 

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

Sincerely,
