Dynamic branches on a fork

[Edward Diehl]

Hi Zolt,
If you want the process to be simultaneous and not sequential then a list of the settlement objects should be used to drive the dynamic parallel process.  I use the term object because that is how I would treat each item that is part of the outboarding process.  I would create a custom object and each item to be settled would be an instance of that object.  You could then put enough information in the object's attributes to determine who the approver should be for that particular object.  Since you already have the custom table, creating a custom object over it would quite easy.  I don't know all that is in your customer table, but could you add approver information for each item?

BTW, if the process can be or needs to be sequential then just put the list of objects in a loop.  Sometimes one thing cannot be approved until something else has been approved.

Hi, Thanks

We have the custom table, but users requirement is to handle all
the approvements in one process. L

Thanks anyway.

Hi
Zolt, 



We had a
similar requirement, and this is what we did. 



All the
different processes were maintained in a custom table. 

An ABAP batch
job was created which will run daily once and trigger different work items for
each suitable process. Business logic was contained in this program. 



Thanks

Hi Koenraad,

Thanks for reply. The workflow is started wia event and I have several
previous step before settlement. Those steps must be carried out within one
workflow. 

You say to start the parallel processes with events. But how can I
determine dynamically the events? 

My tought was to create a task with parallel processing controlled by a
multiline element (number of items)



But any idea is welcome. :)

Zsolt,



Why don't you use events to start various instances of a settlement item
wf?

Koenraad
